    Hi guys how's progress going on your boat. Well, more to the point, how are you? I haven't seen you for a while & was hoping all is ok in your world. I can only imagine how this project could possibly get you down. I'm also trying to fix up an old steel boat. But I'm only putting bandaids on mine because that's all I can afford at this point. I really admire how you have tackled project & how you have fully coated the inside in order to keep the rust at bay. That is something I dream of👍. Hope to see you soon.
    Keep up the good work 💪 SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

    A deadly conversion, you will never have enough power to do a passage without wind, no way to make a long hard run from weather. When you do have a battery fire you can't put it out and no where to go. I love the lines on your boat, the davits are my favorite. Best of luck.

      I think they would run into problems navigating around fishing traps and pots well before they run into a problem with any storm system. Even if they aren't intentionally placed there in the first place, I've had to dodge around those float buoys even in shipping lanes before. Range anxiety on a normal electric vehicle is already enough to make me swear them off, I can't even begin to imagine the level of stress and anxiety going full electric on a boat would cause me.

      @lahakai  7 місяців тому +3

      The angle of the benches would have been suitable during the most agressive heel. But since this is a liveaboard boat and not a racing boat, then the living spaces, including the cockpit need to be comfortable while at rest as well.

    We have an electric motor, basically we are sailing without an engine except for the last mile, loving every minute under sail, going old-school. Amazon Brazil has some amazing deals but foreigners should get a CPF online before arriving in Brazil.

    • @lahakai
      @lahakai  7 місяців тому +1

      Ah yes, the dreaded CPF is quite annoying. Good to know you can get it online!
      Thanks for your electric motor feedback! Did you opt to have a backup generator too or are doing well without?

    • @rainfinger
      @rainfinger 7 місяців тому +2

      @lahakai We have a backup generator 2000w is best, but we are using 1000w, making do until we can get a larger one. A backup is necessary Toyama generators are available from Amazon Brazil.

    Just watched a sailing video with 5 days of no wind where on a 34 ft boat are going to put enough solar panels to keep enough charge to run your boat.Well like everything else you have done on the boat you have a to do multiple times when are ever gone to lean

    • @allenwade6087
      @allenwade6087 7 місяців тому +2

      More and more people are going all electric,first , always plan trips around weather patterns with multiple days of no wind , modern weather gear provides the capability to do this. Second, LI batteries are awesome,, Third , these two aren’t stupid, they got this..

    • @lahakai
      @lahakai  7 місяців тому +3

      This is very true @allenwade6087 . Uma says this as well. Traveling with their electric motor is a different kind of sailing. There is a lot of planning to understand the weather and the boats capabilities. It has also made them step up and become better sailors so they can get the most out of the wind. Also, Technology has come a long way in a short period of time, and we're very interested in seeing what we can build and how it performs.

      @lahakai  8 місяців тому +2

      Thanks so much! 🙏🙏 Luke and I do it all 😅 We use DaVinci Resolve free version and taught ourselves. It's really straight forward and its easy to find how-tos on YT when you want to try something new.The Pro version of the software also looks great and we'd love to upgrade one day (just a one time fee evidently) but so far the free version is working out just fine!
