No Auto-Pilot & No Compass! 1,000nm on our Wharram Catamaran [Ep.14]
มุมมอง 5Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Finally Sailing again! No fancy auto pilot or a compass because we accidentally broke both. Auto decided to not turn on after months of sun exposure and the compass cracked while removing out cockpit table…oops. We are feeling great because this was Katies first 1,000nm and she doesn’t hate sailing. Wahoo!!!! This first day back we sail North from St. George Grenada to Canoun in the Grenadines....
Big Changes!! Wharram Tiki 30 [Ep. 13]
มุมมอง 2K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Over the past week we’ve been slowly replacing our beam lashings one by one. Not becasue they are worn out or broken, but becasue we have decided to go with a different type of rope. A rope that is 1/2 as flexible as our previous lashings. This new rope is actually what the building plans specify. At first, Alex decided to use 3-strand polyester, without looking at the specifications, rather th...

    Consider googling or searching TH-cam for Sheet to tiller steering. You can use a rope and a block and let your sails do the steering.

    Lovely videos guys! I had a question regarding the spaciousness of the Tiki 30 cabins, especially in the tropics. Do you two sleep next to each other inside one of the hulls or does each of you sleep in their own hull?

    • @ZigZagSailing_113
      @ZigZagSailing_113 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! So at first we both (Humans) were sleeping in the same hull- laying in the same direction and it was TIGHT. We are both around the same weight and height 5’6 and we squeezed. HOwever, we switched to laying in the yin yang shape and it was better. With or dogs sleeping in the “Bow bed”. THEN, after 2 months we decided that the humans should sleep in their own hulls, after one of us had gas hahahah

Anyone who owns and sails a Wharram, down here, deserves the Royal treatment. The only problem for you is quarantine for the dogs..? That won't take long. Anyway, great episode. And great editing. Take care. Cheers.

      @ZigZagSailing_113 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed, speed boats also stress out our dogs and give our small boat violet wakes. The shipping container vessels are find near shore but at night in open water is when they stress me out. They stress Katie out all the time no matter what, haha

    Thats a really good how to, for tensioning the beam lashings on a wharram. Dogs be like mom why you remove all our added fur and fug it takes ages to get it that good 😂 Hope Mark Wildings watching he also needs to tension his dynema Rigging beam and deck lashings 👍🏼 Do you think you would ever go for a larger Wharram.. as a repair or build 🧙🏼‍♂️🇬🇧 If you use a wax like candle wax of beeswax in and on those squeeky points it will reduce the noise through rubbing..as well as keep the water and termites out. In the UK The RN used to grow Hornbeam for high load blocks and structural parts . Epping forest is famous for its Hornbeam stands.. Elm was used for water immersed parts.

      Grocery costs depend on location. Can be double or triple the cost sometimes. It's annoying, but it's the reality, and if their transportation cost is $0, they're limited to areas fairly close to where they're moored. Ports of call tend to inflate groceries also.
