    Hey cap! This is a very relaxing experience. The sounds of the boat in transit, the communications between different ships, and your commentary every few minutes results in a very relaxing and satisfying cruise!

      Yes, I think that's why we all like the long "boring" parts and not just the maneuvering, we can live vicariously through that cruise POV and also use it for relaxing. The cruise is the enjoyable part of the voyage!

      How big is it? I can't see cargo ships of that size being viable when bigger ships normally do not need bigger crews. Sailing ships might save enough fuel to pay sail handlers but economies of scale will remain. Perhaps smaller ships can serve smaller ports, but this one is not and the port still needs a customs house unless it's domestic like to US Virgin Islands or France to a French island. Might save some money if crews volunteer because they like to sail anyway.

    @victor-charlesscafati 3 роки тому +2

    The sailboat is either a ketch or a yawl. Both are a similar design-2 masts and 3 sails. The difference is subtle. A ketch places the rear mast in front of the rudder, and a yawl places it behind the rudder, so it is difficult to tell them apart without a look under the water. The rear two sails will have a boom, but the front one, the foresail, will not. Very interesting to have a sailing cargo ship-it sounds like it is mostly promotional rather than practical, but cool. In Puget sound, there's an organic coffee distributor that delivers by sailboat to claim a zero carbon footprint. I watched them land once, and it looked like a demolition derby! It was a good thing that no other boats were at the pier!

    There is a TV broadcast on YT about a sailing boat doing cargo for french fine wine and other things but on a much older type of sailing boat. They were financed by some Bordeaux wine makers who got interested in this old school concept of sailing cargo ships. Maybe they are the same people but with a newer boat or just an addition to their fleet. Apparently you can make money doing this, which I find totally super cool as well.

    I have some curiosity about helm/rudder control. Obviously, no wheel. It is hard to see, as you are doing your job and I cannot see through you, but is the rudder controlled by buttons, ala the WWII German capital ships, in the black device mounted on the center edge of the instrument panel where the wheel would typically be? If so, how do you control the rate of rudder movement or does that not really matter? Is there a button for automatically returning the rudder to exactly midship (maybe a nice expedient convenience)? Also, what is your opinion regarding buttons vs a wheel?
    One more question please. Just to the right of the center of the console is a control lever that apparently can be moved left or right. At first, I thought that controlled the rudder but, in this video, I saw your hand (fingers) on the device I mentioned above so now I am curious what the lever does. I hope you do not mind these questions, but I am finding it fascinating watching you maneuver your boat and the barges.

    • @TimBatSea
      @TimBatSea  4 місяці тому

      Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. We do not have a steering wheel. But we do have "jog-levers". They act like a joystick. There are usually two steering modes other than when on autopilot (thing in the middle). FFU and NFU. These are for full follow up and non follow up. Full follow up returns the rudder to wherever you leave the non spring loaded lever. The NFU is spring loaded and it is the one most of us in this area use. CUOTO

    • @bmwem9291

      @@TimBatSea Thanks. I hope you do not mind a couple of more questions. I am an EE, well retired from a career in the Nuclear Power industry that included everything from design, maintenance, ops, project management, etc. So, this stuff brings out the worst of the nerd in me. The NFU/FFU control modes using a lever is a control method I am familiar with (albeit not in a marine environment), I just never heard that terminology. Do you have a single lever that can be switched to mechanically/electrically function in the desired mode or are their two levers, one spring loaded (NFU) and one not spring loaded (FFU). I suspect there are two levers based on what I just researched but I did not notice a second one, at least during the quick video sweeps of the console. Without having a bit of experience with this type of rudder control, does having two levers present any human factors issues? If there is only a single lever, can the auto pilot be used as an effective backup rudder control system if a single failure in the lever control switch itself renders it out of service? Again, thanks for your responses and I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. I especially enjoy watching how you maneuver those barges in tight places. From the very big picture what you do with the rudder(s) and engines is easily intuitive but the skill of knowing how much and when is galaxies beyond anything one could ever do safely and effectively without a huge amount of hands-on experience and not a small measure at all of inherent skill/instinct. I am awed by your precision positioning those huge inertially laden barges.

    • @TimBatSea
      @TimBatSea  4 місяці тому

      @@bmwem9291 Thank you very much! We have a 3 way switch that the steering pumps respond to. 1) NFU 2) FFU and 3) Autopilot. There are two Jog levers. One is spring loaded (NFU) and the other isn't (FFU). The Autopilot also has a wired NFU remote with two (port and starboard) push buttons. I believe FFU is preferred in other areas, like the inland waterways. But in my career and on the East Coast NFU is almost always preferred. I really think it's just what you get used to. Switching from the port station to the starboard station requires switching hands. I thought that was going to be an issue when I started out, but I never really thought about it or even noticed it. When in the moment, you run the boat and there's no time to worry about right or left hands. CUOTO
