Boatyard Tour Damage Assessment: (What 2,230nm & 396 Days Sailing/Cruising Does To A Sailboat)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Sailing & cruising full time from country to country is the absolute DREAM for many! But it also takes a huge toll on the vessel. Which if not properly looked at, can cause major $$$ problems, or worse, fail you while you're out on the high seas.
In this video, I take a look at the wear and tear my boat went through over the past 396 days of active sailing and cruising. To be clear, I don't sail 24/7. I spend most of my time at anchor, relaxing and enjoying what sailing has brought be. But even that can take it's toll on the boat.
So sit back, relax, and take in this unique perspective of a sailboat tour!

Hello & welcome! I'm Daniel aka "Adventureman Dan." I've been living on the edge, from one adventure to another for the past nine years. Stating in Central California with my first GoPro, through SoCal, Baja, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Alaska and throughout the whole USA. But for the past five years on my sailboat "Adventureborne" I'm open to unlimited possibilities of where I can go, and what I can do!

Keeping it real,Dan I like your approach of what it’s important and necessary vs what is just for looks. We want to see you doing what you love! Sharing your adventures with the 9 to 5 folks are the outdoors lover like me.
I appreciate that! I'm excited to get back to it!
Just found you, and you are using a great lure...I am hooked...I have been working on my New Hampshire built Mariner 36 for 2 years now and almost ready to go...you're terrific for being "very real" as I appreciate your reality offerings, so I don't go off with unrealistic expectations, but am still looking forward to all, all the experiences....so thank you very much!
Awesome! Thank you! Feel free to checkout my Patreon if you'd like to support what I do.
Hey Dan, this is your neighbor on the hard. Your interior lights are on. Not sure if that is a problem. Just so you know.
I left a few on. I'm on solar power. So it's not an issue. :) Thanks though.
Perfection Kill Boats . . . .Good to see you return to true forum . . . describing the technical aspects of boat ownership . . . & with a smile!
Ohh for sure! :)
Thanks for the tour, the inspiration, your love of life and sharing that with the world
Thank you so much, Sam! I really appreciate this so much! It more than made my day! Hearing this from people like you keeps me highly motivated to continue producing quality content.
I've just concluded a week in isolation to write out all my goals(adventure, online, and personal) for the next five years. I can't wait to share it with you and the world.
Thank you again, buddy! More to come soon!
Great "work" walk tro video. Very good camera work and sound. Always enjoy your adventure saiing travels.
Glad you enjoyed it
Recently subscribed. Love the detail that you give. Looks like youre taking a much needed and deserved break for a bit and hope we'll see you again soon. Newbie Catalina 30 owner here and you've given me so much to think about and do! Im a producer as well, and yes Sir, it is a lot of hard work! Congrats on a job very wel done!!
Thanks for the sub!
Even with the hardships, this kind of videos lighten my heart and motivates me to work, learn and progress to have this life. Thank you.
Awesome! Stay with it!
Just found your channel. I've had to immediately subscribe. You are living my dream, massive respect to you for doing it. Live your best life mate
Hey thanks soo much. :)
"to me, that just sounds like much more happiness", what a great philosophy!
Haha, simple but true.
Excellent video, Dan! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
You've come a long way since I seen you in Fort Pierce kid!
Ohhhh yes!
It sounds like you're lecturing all of us that are still refitting at a turds pace😆 im not going anywhere without hobit like comfort!!!
Hahaha, :)
Great mindset. I always wondered about other sailing chanels which stay for months, some half a year or more on the hard and renovate these boats till they look like new or better, instead of sailing. Most likely they do it for clicks and views.
Well said! I'm just keen to get back out there!
Nice video; great approach and attitude towards a lot of the stuff. I've heard a person can get a chain sandblasted, acid washed and regalvanized; not sure the cost as compared to alternatives. I think I would ensure the engine and drive components are in tip top shape. Thank you. Happy sailing...
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome. Perfect mindset dude
Appreciate it!
Hi Dan I love your videos very inspiring for someone like me that wants to start living like you ! I’m still looking for a boat atm , what type off boat do you have ?
Hey Dan. For spot cleaning on your upholstery, try Woolite foam. With it, I've been able to remove even permanent Sharpie pen ink.
Cool, I'll check that out. :)
Nice walkthrough Dan! Btw what is that fish you were filleting on the swim platform?
An African pompano.
@@Adventureman_Dan nice. I thought it was a pompano but didn’t have the colors of a Florida fish
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Your propeller is going to be precious when fixed. Keep it.
That's the plan!
It was a good call that you got a license professional engineer help you with making that swim platform boss. 😂
Indeed good sir!
I can't tell which Volvo-Penta engine you have, but the newer VP engines in that size range have a monel heat exchanger which is why they don't have a zinc. Just for your information, there is no exhaust passing through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger transfers heat from the engine coolant to raw water. Once the raw water passes through the heat exchanger it is injected into the exhaust at the exhaust elbow.
Thanks for the info!
If I were you, I would investigate Far East Sails, in Hong Kong, for sails...best prices, excellent workmanship and customer service above and beyond the pale...blows away the competition by miles....you will be amazed....
Precision sails are the best around, that's what I'll stick with.
Did you make the bow protector? I dont ever remember seeing one on a boat before. I like the idea. Could be color matched painted.
I made it last year. It's up on the bow still.
I just recently found your channel. Great content. I got another 2.5 years to retire. My wife and I are already making plans and starting research on what boat to purchase. I got the sailing in my blood years ago while stationed in Hawaii. Did you make a video of your bow protector ?
Have a look at Emily and Clark A/C build..
I know them personally, great people. 😀
Has your heat exchanger held up so far? No reason to replace it if jbweld made it like new lol. I doubt a bit of seawater in the cooling system would harm anything. Coolant is made to prevent corrosion in the system anyhow.
Not really, slight leak. I just refill it as I motor. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan Sounds like my daily driver😅
Ever thought about running a hose from the dinghy drain to a water can to collect rain water?
Yes, but it would be gross water.... trust me.
Useful!
Glad to hear that!
Doesn't the propeller free wheel when moving? I would think the drag wouldn't be a much as you'd think?
I lock mine in place so it does not spin. It's bad for the engine to be free spinning.
The biggest question I have is how do you protect yourself from unwanted people.
I feel a great swell of pitty for anyone who comes to my boat uninvited.
Would you consider creating a dodger out of stainless steel sheets? Could work out cheaper!
Yes, but fiberglass would be better imo.
How often do you have to clean underneath of a sailboat?
What boat is it? Type ? Manufacturer? Thanks.
1984 Beneteau Idylle 11.5
Dude wanted a swim platform, made a hole in his boat, all his boat became a swim platform xD
That guy that cut the side of the hull out down to the waterline just destroyed the structural integrity of his boat.
I'm sure it will workout fine. Have some faith. :)
hello, how do you make money to pay for all of your groceries and stuff?😊
UA-cam & Patreon mainly. I'll make a full video on this later.
Would ultrasonic antifouling help here?
Maybe!
Dan did you use 316 stainless on the bow shield??? it doesn't look like it. Your chain is shit and need replaceing with better quality glavanized or Stainless. The Caribbean is brutal on metals.
Miss you 😭
Miss you to Jimmy. :)
Love your videos & amazing footage and information!
When you talk about your needed boat repairs, I can't help but think of:

Thanks for that!
AHahaha :)
