    Another great 'Meet the owner' video. Like the previous comment, I think these are one of your best formats Nick, as it's 'real world' boating of how the boat is used, modifications/improvements and what adventures can be had. A pleasure to bump into you and say hello in Topsham last weekend Nick. Keep up the good work.

    Love the name Easily Distracted. I think most sailors get distracted, the sea does that.
    She is a great family boat the cockpit is great for that.
    Her cabins look old fashioned but who cares they look comfortable love the shower head propeller.
    Simon is a clever owner doing what needs to be done to keep the E.D. shipworthy.
    And how to handle the boat to the best of the best of E.D. abilities.
    Great boat, great owner, good video Nick. Hope Simon and his family enjoy many more trips and holidays on her.

    Well Simon has the right philosophy on life. A 3 month exploration of the beautiful south west coast can't be Beaten. Superb 20 Yr old Targa.. Loved the novel shower head and infil.. I always perk up when you do "meet the owner" Nick. Cheers🍺😊

    That propeller shower head was a nice customization - I can imagine having good water pressure is a real luxury out on the water. Also I just love little things like the clever concealment/storage of the infill cushion in the aft cabin. Like Nick said, it's little nifty ideas like that that Fairline traditionally do so well (from what I can tell from all the tours I've seen) - practical solutions to problems that one doesn't often think about, but are still important nonetheless. This one was such a nice balance between accommodation and sportiness, looks a blast.

    • @SsKk558
      @SsKk558 Місяць тому +4

      as a plumber I've seen a lot of those shower heads and can 100% say they do nothing for increasing water pressure at all

    • @FilipMolin
      @FilipMolin 27 днів тому +1

      Don't buy the shower head. It's a scam made popular by TikTok. Just take a second and think about it critically. How exactly would that propeller help to increase the pressure? It doesn't have a motor in it or anything that could add extra force or pressure. The only reason why it spins is because of the water that's already flowing over it, which means that if anything it's reducing the amount of energy not increasing it because it takes some small amount of energy to make the propeller spin. The whole thing is just a trick. They're pretending that it's the propeller that's increasing the pressure when in reality the shower head is increasing the pressure because the holes in the nozzle are slightly smaller than on some other standard nozzles. Imagine if you tried to push the same amount of water through just one single tiny little hole. The pressure coming out of that one tiny whole would be much larger then if you pushed the same amount of water through a large number of large holes. That's all that's going on here. It has absolutely nothing to do with the propeller. In fact the propeller is just an attention grabbing gimmick that only serves the purpose of tricking people into thinking that something sophisticated is going on when in reality the only thing the propeller in doing is contributing to a decrease in the amount of pressure. The whole thing is like a stage magician who is tricking people into thinking that he had 10 rabbits inside of a hat when in reality they where just hidden under the table. They're tricking people into thinking that it's the magic spinning thing that's increasing the pressure when in reality it's just the nozzle, and you can buy much better nozzles for less money that produce higher pressure without spinning gimmicks that don't do anything good.

    The most interesting question for me in the meet the owner series is ‘how do you fund it?’ . But I guess not everyone wants to talk about that. Another great video Nick, thanks 🙏

    No matter the size, it's warming to hear from owner operators who diligently care for and enjoy time on-board. Nick, what you say you'll edit out, you don't edit out, therefore I must conclude, what you edit out must be very interesting indeed. Perhaps a blooper reel or two might be on the near horizon? Simon, Nick, have a wonderful weekend.

    I have a 2006 Princess V42 with outdrives and a stern thruster, as mentioned in this video the stern thruster docent work very well as it is positioned between the stern drives, a little tip I have found when docking, if you raise the outdrives around 50% the stern thruster works much better as this gives enough clearance for the thruster to push the water under the outdrives.

    • @AQUAHOLIC
