Really helpful Video.. helping us as we refit our C&C 34 in North Carolina. Enjoy your trip up the western isles!

Love your camera work!

Love the 'real world sailing'. You're not teaching what's written in textbooks, but what works out in the real world. It's important to differentiate between knowledge and experience. Both of which you both seem to share based on this video! Can't wait to see more! Soon to have my own boat out of Troon in the coming weeks. Cannot wait!!

Looking at doing this to my merc 814 truck Wema do a plastic one around £25 Maybe a good idea to use a magnet or hoover to pull the swarf away ?

As a newbie skipper looking to buy my first boat and having watch a lot of TH-cam channels I have to say I find your style inspirational and instructional, the video and audio commentary of sea state and how to set/adjust rigging (eg preventer) is the best that I have come across combined with the nature filming aspect is a pleasure to watch - well done and thank you.

Great video! I hace some tips to consider. We manufacture for Vetus the fuel filter water separator that you have in your vessel. -never share same inlet line for the engine fuel system and the polishing system.. if there is a problem in that line both systems are useless. -the inline for the polishing filter take it from the drain valve of the tank and install a 3 way valve there. In this way you take the water that sits at the bottom of the tank daily and drain it from the Racor filter. That black mud in the tank is a fungus and it grows in the layer between the water and the Diesel. Taking out the water daily , prevents the growth of the fungus.(Cladosporium resinae) - put a bigger "Racor" filter for polishing like a 900fh . Bigger filtration surface and bigger see thru bowl for collecting water and more internal flow. - the dual Vetus always use one in service and the other in stand by mode full of fuel in case of emergency just open its valves. In every filter change alternate the filter use. (The new one stays in stand-by mode). Change filters every 300hrs or once a year aprox...what comes first. -drain daily, or look for water mostly in the polishing filter.

Really enjoying your adventures guys, keep em coming! Love that you take the time to explain how you sail, why you have chosen your course and the charts you use etc… fascinating. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! I’m rebuilding my rudder as well on my 1987 Centurion 42 😂 how much of the expanding foam did you use? Thanks!

Cuan sound... having read all the navigation notes, we avoided it. didnt even consider using the horth end as an anchorage.

Fantastic videos what is your home port? Im from Norwich but my boat is in Southend

Great story telling with some handy sailing tips thrown in.

Really enjoying your videos. Thanks.

For metal hatches. Find a Laser cutting company that will cut the exact shape and size you need

Good video. Thank you. My friend's boat needs a couple of blocks added close to the mast for her reef lines. This is really helpful. I've not had very good luck using mold release. A good trick if you're using something like that bolt as a mold: Wrap it in two layers of Teflon plumbing tape. One layer the epoxy might get through and it sticks. Two layers has always worked for me. But it means the threaded hole is oversized. So maybe use a smaller bolt as a mold and then tap the hole. Keying: that's a bit what you're doing with the small grinder. Usually people use 100 grit sandpaper to 'key' a surface for epoxy. If it's hardware and not a hull or deck or something that has to look great, I use really rough sandpaper, 20 or 40 grit. And of course you don't want to wait too long after the first epoxy to soak into the balsa and the final thickened epoxy. Otherwise it might not stick. Good job. I'll share this with my friend and we'll fix her reef blocks.

Was watching you from ashore yesterday - what was that manouevre you were up to with the anchor before finally dropping it? - just curious! - Martin

Wow great video

Stunning even in the rain. Brilliant that you guys took the time to clean up that beach 👏👏

Great work, I can smell that resin from here.

Those charts look very useful, great work by the guys who produce them. Was wondering if the right to roam applies to the islands etc around Scotland or are some private?, I know access rights are different in Scotland than in England in the main.

Interesting to see how it all works even as a non sailor, glad to see you can still make time for a brew and enjoy it all though.

Great footage and story as usual, amazing to see such places exist in the UK, you just got to make the effort. I would love to see a basking shark up close, just can’t believe these gentle creatures were hunted to near extinction in recent times, what a travesty.

Good video ..Wife certainly sets on her ass a lot.

Another great video, keep em coming😊👍🏻

Prachtig scotland een en al natuur ,vindt je nergens meer .❤🎉😊

Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure

Brilliant video again ! Good idea checking the max wind and speeds for your log, how do you find that in your Raymarine MFD, I have an Axiom + and haven’t found that option yet… Cheers ⛵️

Lovely

Another smooth and relaxing video. Thanks. P.s. I'm still sanding and antifouling...

seen our boat in Plockton ❤

Congratulations on what you did on that beach! Not everybody would have collected that much rubbish, stuffed it into their - always too small - lazarette and tried to get rid of it later in a marina. Great attitude!

Great video guys! Gorgeous scenery and so relaxing to watch 🌊💙

As always your videos are very special. You seem to be able to capture the very best of wherever you find yourselves and your wildlife encounters are awesome and inspiring! Just so depressing seeing all that commercial fishing crap.

Another great video guys, thanks. What were the odds that I would be anchored at Taransay when you released this video?

Hello, we have 1988 Centurion 47 in Greece and notice a ‘weep’ at the bottom of the rudder. No doubt in need to the same treatment as you have been through. Would you think it is possible to do without having to remove the rudder itself? Many thanks, we really enjoy your videos

More magnificent footage, beautifully edited too, and I like the environmental message. I guess if even one person sees the detritus on the beach and makes an effort to reduce their consumption of single-use plastic then you can consider this video a success. We all want the world to stay beautiful, and we definitely need it to remain habitable, so it's important to show the impact we have that is invisible to most of us.

Such a shame seeing such a beautiful beach littered with all the commercial fishing waste. Loved the underwater and drone footage thanks

I'm not sure that I should say this, but I'm going to anyway. First off, my wife and I love your videos. They are very educational, down to earth, presented in the most unpretentious manner and tugs at our heart strings. Fantastic, thank you for all your work in editing and posting these insights. I know, I know, everyone's a critic!

Impressive work, well done - its depressing how poor the original workmanship was on that rudder mount

Great tutorial. Thank you!

I've never got to the West of the Outer Hebrides. Although I've been in Harris Sound only from and returning to the the Little Minch. I know where I want to go now!!! Love the pace of your videos, together with the sailing, rigging knowledge you pass on, they are great. Thanks.

Thanks, loved seeing how remote the anchorage was and looking forward to seeing more on the next video 🏝️

I notice that You haven't let the main sheet out so far that the boom is almost touching the shrouds. Most cruisers do it like this, which in my opinion raises the risk of an accidental gybe. If the main boom is let out as far as it can go there's much more wiggle room in degrees before the top of the sail catches the wind from the wrong side (that initiaties the accidental gybe). Almost every sailboats with original sheets I've been on have had too short main sheets so it's not possible to let the main out far enough. Edit: I noticed You're talking about chafe on the sheet, are You worried about chafe on the mainsail if it's touching the shrouds?

You need to eat gingernuts, best thing for "seasickness" You keep sailing and I'll keep making up words! 😉

Not so much 'hidden' ... just trying to keep it to ourselves. The south coast gets the sun, we get empty anchorages ... I hope.

Do tune that bloody guitar!

Thanks for the great video. I'm a new boat owner and need to go through all of my deck hardware and try to stop some leaks. This was very helpful in demonstrating what's in store for me. What epoxy and filler are you using for this?

Uselot are brave

10:24 Whether you know it or not, you are feeding into the reputation Norwegians love about themselves. You're extremely diplomatic; you could easily serve as Britain's ambassador to Norway.

Danke!
