Your wife also absorbed some skills, she surprised me with the details that were assembled inside the vessel. If you can answer, I would like to know how much you spent on the boat and how much more did you spend on renovating the vessel? What was the total work time for the boat to go into the water? I subscribed to the channel you are amazing!!!

      I feel young when some of our followers label is as “kids”. So summary is do not wait.

  • @darrylcox8267
    @darrylcox8267 Рік тому +6

    Very cool, comfortable and obviously safe motor sailboat. I’m not sure I’d call any motor sailing yacht self sufficient, because obviously you’re burning through a lot more fuel that has to be resupplied at port than a fiberglass sailboat. Still, all boats are a trade off depending on how you want to be able to live on them. There is no perfect boat, only the best boat for you.

    • @DawnHunters
      @DawnHunters  Рік тому +6

      Darryl
      You are correct but we have filled up 1.5 years ago. Still have over 1/2 in fuel onboard. When motor sailing the motor is at idle to match water speed over the prop to provide power between wind variations.
      Summary is we spend 90% time st anchor and the sun provides all the energy. Have spent more money on gas for the dingy in 12 months than anything other than food.

      If the weather is going to be rough it's recommended that you should wear a harness attached to a lifeline so you're less likely to thrown overboard and it's a good idea to leave a rope tied to a cleat if you are swimming and don't have a swim step or leave a rope ladder hanging over the side to help you climb aboard, but if the weather was really bad you're not going to be able to climb back aboard if you went overboard, if you weren't knocked unconscious by hitting the water you might be stunned and by the time you realised where you were and got to the surface you would be quite a distance behind the Yacht or expedition vessel and would be relying on the other crew members to spot you and turn the vessel around and pick you up, there's no way you would be swimming fast enough to catch up with the vessel and if you're going out in a dinghy it's a good idea to wear a life jacket just in case a wave hit it wrong and capsized it, or threw you overboard but the dinghy's throttle is released when you let go so the dinghy isn't going very far away from you, sorry for the length of my reply but I hope this answers your question and why a swim step isn't going to help if you were thrown overboard
