White smoke is un burnt diesel. blueish smoke is oil burning and black smoke is over fueling but fully burnt, so that to me is low compression and also goes with the hard starting... YES i do work on Diesels Eddie Australia
Blue smoke from exhaust is oil burning....should diminish as engine warms up, white smoke is water leaking into combustion, black is engine overloaded and unburnt fuel...
Happy Friday everyone! Let us know what you'll be reading with your free trial of Readily! readly.me/wildlingsailings2m if we're not reading about boats, then it's classic cars and cool hipster stuff for Nadiyana 😁😁 Let us know what you thought of the video and our little escapades: incredibly smoky engine, novice sailing and first interaction with the French police, who in all honesty were polite and approachable in the end
One of possibilities- When you have a bad valve seal, the oil that collects at the front cover of the head will end up burning when you push on the accelerator after coasting for a while. This is apparent especially when going under load and again will be indicated by the excessive smoke that leaves the tailpipe.
My thoughts. You can't fly the flag of a foreign country without attracting attention. It is the norm to have passport and visa checks. Having a UK passport does not mean you fly the red duster in foreign waters. You fly the flag of the country the boat is registered in, which will be France, whenever you are in the non-home country of the boat. This means no flag in French waters. You could register it in the UK but the paperwork (cost) to transfer from French to UK registration may be excessive. Also, you have done a great job getting this boat in the water, but if you're seriously thinking of taker her offshore, you need to ensure she is sea worthy, which is a different matter all together. You can only learn so much by doing, before you start to put yourselves and others at risk. Get a comprehensive survey.
Like a previous comment said: you need to have the glow plugs on long enough - you'll need to experiment with how long that will be - could be 20 s or more on old engines. Turning the engine over before that serves no point expect will put excess fuel and oil in the combustion chamber. And make it more difficult to start because it will be flooded with fuel. Been driving diesel (cars) for 40 years...
Yes, don't crank the engine before heating with the glow plugs. As said you are only flooding the engine and wasting amperage. Long glow then go. Try it.
Totally agree, I have left similar comment before but Mark seems insistent on 5 or 6 seconds. Had glow plugs on 30 to 40 secs, on my Thornycroft, no problems.
Hey guys, appreciate the advice! I put in 4 new fast glow plugs which take 12v rather than the previous 3.5v, unfortunately it points to lack of compression due to worn piston rings, hence all that smoke!
Had to watch it twice because of the recipe . l will try it next week .Dear Mark you are very lucky that you found Nadiyana and Joshi that he found you both .👍
Observations from watching a video, so you may already know all of this... Unburned (raw) diesel produces a white smoke that doesn't dissipate. White smoke that does disappear quickly is coolant. Blue smoke is lube oil burning. Black smoke is poorly burned diesel usually means the engine is overloaded or turbo isn't producing enough boost. You have a fuel problem. likely a bad injector pintle that isn't sealing. It will allow the injectors to lose pressure plus will produce white smoke to black when under load. I agree with you dad. Also when you spin the engine over before starting make sure you have to fuel off. I think you kill it by pulling up on a lever. Do that when you crank it during your pre-heat stage, otherwise you are still putting diesel into the cylinders before you run the glowplugs. That will also make it start with a lot of white smoke...too much fuel in the cylinders.
Nice one again. The police are not bad guys. It is good you are residents there. Keep that mainsail up when the wind goes light ! Ferrocement is not for boatbuilding. I had a colleague who had an Endurance, and that also suffered the same issues. It is no surprise. Nadiyana's cooking looked FANTASTIC !
You really need to set up a towing bridle for your dingy. I add a rubber snubber with two feet of slack hanging down between each end of the rubber snubber so that part of the towline is continuous . Way easier on the connection points of your new dingy. Dingy Chaps would also be a good addition to save your dingy from sun damage. The PVC and even most of the new Hypalon dingy's will become sun damaged quickly. If Adrianna knows how to sew, or you do you will find a even older sewing machine will save you massive amounts of money. It will also make life better and also give you content for your video's. Yours is my favorite Utube Sailing Channel and I am a World Cruiser presently stuck in Tasmania. I also appreciate your casual subdued commercials. That is smart because so many Utube channels get to carried away with that and its a big turn off. Keep up the good work.....Kim of SV Philiosophy
Fuel will give you blue to black smoke oil will give you blue smoke Cold engine will give blue fuel smoke until the engine gets to operating temp , to much fuel will give black smoke Oil burning stinks so easy to tell which is which Better start with an engine compression test , good luck 👍
Another wonderful episode. I love Nadiyana's enthusiasm. I usually would hold off on the advice but you asked for it at the end. Mine based on 4 years in the US Coast Guard: Please, please, please wear life jackets when going about the boat. Below, not necessary. Probably not necessary in the cockpit but why not? You'll have it on if you suddenly need it. The inflatable kind are pretty comfortable and that water isn't getting any warmer for a while. Also, once you get your engine maintenance done, man overboard drills would be great practice for you both. Don't jump in. Just throw the life ring in and take turns single handing back to it. I feel like grand dad here with the advice so I think I'll just pour a glass of Old Grand Dad. All the best! 😎
Haha, no worries Granddad! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the taking the time and thinking about us, you've probably seen a lot happen as a coast guard so we'll not take your advice lightly, we won't be wearing them In next week's video but from then on you'll see us wearing them more often
Hi guys. Been watching from.the start. Great vlog. That old merc engine has had its day. You have tried your best and spent a lot of hours and cash. Time to bite the bullet and replace it. A modern motor such as beta marine will run all day and use half the fuel. And be a lot lighter which is a big bonus on a cat. Anyway am sure you have thought about this. Happy sailing.
Minke has good bones. It’s not throwing good money after bad unless you are just not doing proper repairs where necessary. Love your video style. Even the sparrows eating chips is a nice touch. Episodes could be even longer. Keep up the good work!
Check out that 'T' handle that you are lifting, thinking its decompression lever?....In my experience this may be the emergency fuel shut off?...Unlikely to be decompression on that size of engine. If it is fuel shut off you are worsening the engine start sequence!!....
You two are the most refreshing sail show.I giggle like a girl watching.Your soooo layer back attitude is so cool.THANK YOU SO MUCH.from Canada 🇨🇦 with best wishes for you guys.Stay safe and cozy. Stowaway for life.Enjoy your Parents...mac.
And a calm NO is enough. No need to shout at him. This only makes him more strained and anxious. I know it can be difficult at times. I own a "toy" poodle, Monsieur Pipo, a very active but anxious lil' bugger, I call BarkVader. At first, I yelled at him often to no vail. His vet advised me not to shout at him, but be calmer than him. I simply look at him eye to eye and say "no". It works !
@@marcryvon In the spirit of an interesting discussion, I have been told that dogs do not actually understand words but rather the intonation of the voice when saying those words (or word), An interesting experiment would be, if instead of saying 'No' you actually said 'Yes' but in the same intonation that you would normally say 'No.' See if he responds in the same way.
@@itsonlycapnkirk That is exactly it. We used to do that with our family dog as kids. Clap our hands on our thighs and say brightly, "Go away, boy! Go away!" and he would come running. Then with a scowl on our face point to the house and say gruffly, "Come here, boy! Come here!" and he would go home. Kids...
I can confirm 100% that it works. The key is to be consistent and only use one word in association with a behavior. No with pushing them away from things you don't want them to do. Never hit or yell, just a gently push. I repeat the word Yes when they follow instruction. I never use food as a reward, but I do use the word Food every time I feed them and so on. And not only does it work with dogs but also cats. I recently got a kitten and I used the same technique, assigning one word to various behaviors such as yes, no, food, play, scratch etc, and by 4 months he stopped scratching the furniture, drapes, and now I use about 15 to 20 words. He even understands words such as later and by-by. When he begs for food and I tell him later, his tone softens, insists three or four more times, but eventually accepts and walks away. It's actually quite amazing and it works even if other people speak the words.
Back in the 70ties my uncle had built a ferrocement Endurance35 in the UK which he took from there to the Med and sailed it there for a couple of years. I joined him during summertime for 4 week trips to Corse, Sardegna and other destinations. It was a heavy /sturdy and slow boat. After about 5 years he sold it and bought a Sharky from Amel.
Hi smoke on start up does not matter. That T-handle is NOT a decompression lever. It should be the manual stop control. If you pull it it will fully or partially cut the fuel supply! Leave it pushed down except to stop. Make sure on the engine the lever it is attached to is nothing being pulled at all when in ‘Run’ position so the injector pump is working properly and only controlled by the throttle. Cheers warren
Using an assortment of herbs and spices for a complex flavour palette as the phrase goes takes very little additional effort time and money but results in a dish which tastes so much better and is well worth it.
Hopefully helpful: My boat had similar smoke problem Turned out to be clagged up raw water inlet. The covering grille was all caked up but once cleared the engine got enough cooling water and ran sweet thereafter. Really enjoy your films xx
I have been watching since there wasn't even an boat yet. I love you guys. I just want to thank y'all for having captions...My girlfriend of 6 years is deaf and life is better when we can sit and enjoy the show together. :)
Cheers Vinny! Thanks for being there from the start, what a hero! We hope the captions are ok, they're automatically generated as you can probably tell! Sometimes it take TH-cam a while to generate them so if they're not on right away they should be over 1 or 2 days
Guys, it is called one way valve This valve is holding up the fuel pressure inside the fuel injection system after the engine is switched off. change it. Second, your overheating is because the cylinder. The cylinder head must be flattened again (rectified).
One thing I learned about while keeping my catamaran in Grenada was nutmeg. You were grating the shell of the nutmeg not the nut. Crack open the shell and then grate the nut inside.
You guys always put out great video's, always nice sailing and very informative "excellent" .Nadiyana is so lovely and a wonderful cook, your one lucky man, my friend. Hope you enjoy your parents, take care and be safe. 😎🐕👍
Well done, very nice video. I have a boat on the hard at Pin Rolland, st Mandrier and I didn’t know about these formalities. So, thanks for posting. Been bad weather of late so hope you were tucked up safe somewhere. If you’re anywhere near Pin Rolland would be really nice to meet you…I’m here until Sunday 7th.
Love the simplicity and natural way you guys present the blog.... looking forward to the next one..... keep up the good work.... P.S. get a compression test done on the engine...
Blue smoke on startup is oil burning. A sign of valve stem seals needing replacement. Oil on top of the cylinder head seeps past the seals, collects in the combustion chambers, and burns on startup. It usually clears once the engine warms. Not a big deal if that is the case. It's possible but fidly to replace the seals in situ without removing the head. If you suspect piston rings instead, remove the dipstick with the engine running and look for pressure caused by blowby. If the smoke is brown or white, it's not oil burning but fuel related-- incomplete burning, insufficient air etc.
Great video, one word of advice on the sailing. It was hard to tell but it seemed like y’all were over trimming your sail. A good method to get used to proper sail trim is to let the sail out until it starts luffing at that point start brining it back in until it stops. At the point the sail stops luffing your sail trim will be correct. This can be harder on broad reaches but it may help. I’m not totally sure about y’all’s experience sailing and only started watching when the refit started, but keep up the good work and have fun
Love you guys. You light up my fridays with your adventures and attitude. I have a 36' ketch, monohull, latest of a series of old boats I have brought back to life and lived on, taken exended trips on, starting with not much money and new to sailing. I agree with Jack, ease the sheets, especially on a broad reach. Jib and jigger is often a good way to go, gives lots of control. Dropping main is quick 'reef'. Downwind, in any kind of a breeze, put two reefs in main. Nadiana, if you want more speed, fall off a hair. Mark, when you were sheeting the main to gybe it looked like you were straining. May need to replace that vang with a tackle with more purchase. All the best
I love those beautiful wrecks. It is like driving along and seeing a full cement basketball court back in the woods cracked up and trees growing in it. You know at one time there were children and lovers enjoying life in the past.
Blue smoke usually oil due to wear or stuck rings,. White usually steam - gasket problem. Grey suggests unburned fuel - poor injector pattern or poor compression. Black smoke is overloading or poor air supply If you get your oil analysed the lab report will tell you a lot about what is going on within the engine. Good luck!
Depends if your engine oil is being used every time you use the engine, if not then it's a fuel issue. My advice would be, if you find your engine oil level is not going down then keep an an eye on the exhaust elbow and see if it is sooting up, if not then dont worry about it. Just say you are a fishing boat, they give a flying fig about what comes out of their exhaust.
petrol makes black smoke , suspect diesel would make blue smoke as it is oily, so could be excess diesel in the cylinders burning off from where you were cranking it before it fired. looks like the smoke cleared up when it had been running a while which backs this up
If worried about blanketing jib with main, dont sail as deep. Or go goose wing if navigation is the main reason for coarse. Though, I think cats like being a little more off the wind.
holy cow! always use your morter and pestle. always make a dry Masala, with ything you want: a mix of chili-nutmeg-anise-blk pepper, cinnamon.. what ever you want. I usualy also include some kosher salt, and grind it all together.
Beware when towing your tender while underway, once a day the piece of rubber will break and you will loose your rubber boat at sea. (already found one like this lost and drifting in the middle of med sea, i'm a captain of merchant navy ship)
6th on Like/SHARE, 4th on views and 3rd to comment. WOOHOO! Now as far as advice. Well, seeing I know little to nothing about sailing,,, yet. The only thing I can really tell you is. Water stays on the outside. The front of the boat is the Bow and the Wife is always, ALWAYS right. Even when she's not.
You need to take the slack out of the Luff of the mainsail to make it efficient. You should have tell tail wool on each side of the sail so that you can correctly trim the sails. The basics are important... like registering your boat in a foreign country!
@@WildlingSailing Hp are easy to maintain or repair. Easy to bring in to the repair guru. And they take so little room on deck and inside!!! They are cheap to buy (plenty of second hand ones around). Diesel makes me seasick. Diesel are good for motorboats. Yours is a sailboat. To me it is a no brainer, even if you keep and later replace or fix your old thomper. I totally agree with Taz.
Loved the sailing and notation. You are on the right track. If you want to go really broad, dropping the main is good. The other option is wing on wing and dead down wind, no mizzen. For a big crossing, down wind, you can do two headsails!
There are plenty of sources for the theory of sailing (books, magazines, YT vids, etc) but really there is no substitute for getting out there any practicing, which is what you are doing 👍🏼my advice keep doing what you are already doing. (plus I enjoy your videos, watching you learn, just wish my kids were as interested in sailing as you two)
Hello! I stumbled upon your channel when you were working on the engine. Nadayana was such a pleasure to watch that I went back to binge watch starting from your purchase. You are both lovely people! I hope that you are able to get your engine sorted and enjoy your time with your parents!
Your engine is difficult to start because its low on compression - ( some people would say worn out). You did some work on the head, grinding in the valves - that helped restore compression a bit, helping it to start when the weather was warm, but as the temperatures go down you seem to have more and more difficulty getting it to go. Its time for a re-bore. Its not that hugely expensive if you do the strip down and rebuild yourself. The hardest part is setting the fuel pump timing. Once an engine has its proper compression it will start easier, hardly smoke at all and overheating will become a thing of the past. As for using your sails properly... just keep on sailing, you'll find out what works best for your boat and you. 6 knots is just the beginning, Minke can go much quicker!
By the look of it, that engine only smokes upon startup. If that is the case, and you have good compression, try looking at valves stem seals, although I seem to remember you replacing them. Likelihood is that oil is collecting in cylinders when not running, or dumped there when valves first open. Sure that motor has life left yet. If smoking whilst running for some time could be piston ring problem. Trickier, but fixable. Either way a problem for winter.
The main problem with a diesel burning oil like that is you can have a run away diesel. And that is particularly bad on a boat as they tend to end in flames and shrapnel.
Jib n jigger is great in anything over a 4-5 and heavy weather balance, but try to get more from your main.. halyard tension is a good starting point. Bring the sheet off the mizzen to either a new track across the companionway or a fixed pad eye.. a heavy accidental jibe will bring the mizzen down.. play with your Jib sheeting angle, by brining the car forward. , your leach appears very open, de powering top 1/3 of the sail.. u know what your boat feels like so don’t be afraid to play with all the fine tuning .. oh, n bring your dingy in!
Well guys I can only tell you that the best thing I've seen are electric bikes that can do 50 mph. It was a van life guy that had it and it was very small and compact and the range was good. Might be a solve for getting around on the hard.
Glad to hear your getting a visit from family the past few years have been difficult for traveling. Don't get to down about the engine as they are very difficult to destroy lol. By the sound of it your dad will help out with the beast of an engine. A bit surprised to see the boat speeding along in modest conditions. It looks like your sailing future should be a lot of fun. Absolutely enjoying the videos as always great fun to watch! Stay safe and the rest life takes care of itself.
Depends on the ambient temperature.. Another way is to remove the air-filter & apply a blow lamp while you crank it, so air is already hot, also saves the battery. Fair winds you two
White smoke is un burnt diesel. blueish smoke is oil burning and black smoke is over fueling but fully burnt, so that to me is low compression and also goes with the hard starting... YES i do work on Diesels Eddie Australia
Please make sure to follow-up with your fine... it is not bad so take care of it!
Blue smoke from exhaust is oil burning....should diminish as engine warms up, white smoke is water leaking into combustion, black is engine overloaded and unburnt fuel...

I think you primed it to much that was why you had a lot of smoke !
Fuck the police, continue on your journey, they cannot stop you.
One of possibilities- When you have a bad valve seal, the oil that collects at the front cover of the head will end up burning when you push on the accelerator after coasting for a while. This is apparent especially when going under load and again will be indicated by the excessive smoke that leaves the tailpipe.
Like all Police they are just armed extortionists. Got to fund that huge pension! Ignore and sail away.
My thoughts.
You can't fly the flag of a foreign country without attracting attention. It is the norm to have passport and visa checks. Having a UK passport does not mean you fly the red duster in foreign waters. You fly the flag of the country the boat is registered in, which will be France, whenever you are in the non-home country of the boat. This means no flag in French waters. You could register it in the UK but the paperwork (cost) to transfer from French to UK registration may be excessive.
Also, you have done a great job getting this boat in the water, but if you're seriously thinking of taker her offshore, you need to ensure she is sea worthy, which is a different matter all together. You can only learn so much by doing, before you start to put yourselves and others at risk. Get a comprehensive survey.
Good to see you still afloat. Don't forget the life jackets and an EPIRB.
That was nice of the police. Glad they were nice about not serving you with the fine
Love the honesty
Love both of you and Yoshi too!! Nice sailing weather !!
Like a previous comment said: you need to have the glow plugs on long enough - you'll need to experiment with how long that will be - could be 20 s or more on old engines. Turning the engine over before that serves no point expect will put excess fuel and oil in the combustion chamber. And make it more difficult to start because it will be flooded with fuel.
Been driving diesel (cars) for 40 years...
Agreed, my old car , if I try and start it after one glow plug timer hit. Doesn’t like it . Two glow plug heat ups... car loves loves it .

I had a colleague who had an Endurance, and that also suffered the same issues. It is no surprise. Nadiyana's cooking looked FANTASTIC !
Ferrocement is fine if it's done properly. The trouble is you've no way of telling if it has until it's too late.
My advice is to look up how to reeve blocks, that main sheet is twisting because it is incorrectly rigged.
Video of interest. Hope all goes well. Waiting to see the next one.

And a calm NO is enough. No need to shout at him. This only makes him more strained and anxious.

I have been watching since there wasn't even an boat yet. I love you guys. I just want to thank y'all for having captions...My girlfriend of 6 years is deaf and life is better when we can sit and enjoy the show together. :)
Cheers Vinny! Thanks for being there from the start, what a hero! We hope the captions are ok, they're automatically generated as you can probably tell! Sometimes it take TH-cam a while to generate them so if they're not on right away they should be over 1 or 2 days
Lunch looked excellent !!
Hi. Super video. Milan from Přerov CZ.
Great looking noodles.
Guys, it is called one way valve
This valve is holding up the fuel pressure inside the fuel injection system after the engine is switched off. change it.
Second, your overheating is because the cylinder. The cylinder head must be flattened again (rectified).
my heart rate goes up and down through your episodes..so excited everytime you get blessed!!
The wind was Jankexing you! lol
One thing I learned about while keeping my catamaran in Grenada was nutmeg. You were grating the shell of the nutmeg not the nut. Crack open the shell and then grate the nut inside.
Those Sichuan noodles are awesome. Our favourite is the shredded chicken ones. But I also like the spicy beef mince ones.
I'm thinking you need to replace the glow plugs.
You guys always put out great video's, always nice sailing and very informative "excellent" .Nadiyana is so lovely and a wonderful cook, your one lucky man, my friend. Hope you enjoy your parents, take care and be safe. 😎🐕👍
Thanks!
I have been living in the Port Miou calanque for 24 year, I hope you liked the calanques and cassis !
Well done, very nice video. I have a boat on the hard at Pin Rolland, st Mandrier and I didn’t know about these formalities. So, thanks for posting. Been bad weather of late so hope you were tucked up safe somewhere. If you’re anywhere near Pin Rolland would be really nice to meet you…I’m here until Sunday 7th.
While watching the cooking show, I got very hungry! It looks so delicious!
Good to see the authorities being reasonable, so where to next.
Good luck guys
Lol the sunken boat captain Jack sparrow has arrived
I love you guys..but almost everything you do to sail..makes my cry inside.
Love the simplicity and natural way you guys present the blog.... looking forward to the next one..... keep up the good work.... P.S. get a compression test done on the engine...
that sunken boat mast reminds me of Jack Sparrow's arrival in Port Royal.
Blue smoke on startup is oil burning. A sign of valve stem seals needing replacement. Oil on top of the cylinder head seeps past the seals, collects in the combustion chambers, and burns on startup. It usually clears once the engine warms. Not a big deal if that is the case. It's possible but fidly to replace the seals in situ without removing the head. If you suspect piston rings instead, remove the dipstick with the engine running and look for pressure caused by blowby. If the smoke is brown or white, it's not oil burning but fuel related-- incomplete burning, insufficient air etc.
Good to see you too, GREAT episode. Please be safe 😃
Nice one!
Great video, one word of advice on the sailing. It was hard to tell but it seemed like y’all were over trimming your sail. A good method to get used to proper sail trim is to let the sail out until it starts luffing at that point start brining it back in until it stops. At the point the sail stops luffing your sail trim will be correct. This can be harder on broad reaches but it may help. I’m not totally sure about y’all’s experience sailing and only started watching when the refit started, but keep up the good work and have fun
Love you guys. You light up my fridays with your adventures and attitude.
I have a 36' ketch, monohull, latest of a series of old boats I have brought back to life and lived on, taken exended trips on, starting with not much money and new to sailing.
I agree with Jack, ease the sheets, especially on a broad reach.
Jib and jigger is often a good way to go, gives lots of control. Dropping main is quick 'reef'. Downwind, in any kind of a breeze, put two reefs in main.
Nadiana, if you want more speed, fall off a hair. Mark, when you were sheeting the main to gybe it looked like you were straining. May need to replace that vang with a tackle with more purchase.
All the best
I love those beautiful wrecks. It is like driving along and seeing a full cement basketball court back in the woods cracked up and trees growing in it. You know at one time there were children and lovers enjoying life in the past.
Blue smoke usually oil due to wear or stuck rings,. White usually steam - gasket problem. Grey suggests unburned fuel - poor injector pattern or poor compression. Black smoke is overloading or poor air supply If you get your oil analysed the lab report will tell you a lot about what is going on within the engine. Good luck!
Depends if your engine oil is being used every time you use the engine, if not then it's a fuel issue. My advice would be, if you find your engine oil level is not going down then keep an an eye on the exhaust elbow and see if it is sooting up, if not then dont worry about it. Just say you are a fishing boat, they give a flying fig about what comes out of their exhaust.
petrol makes black smoke , suspect diesel would make blue smoke as it is oily, so could be excess diesel in the cylinders burning off from where you were cranking it before it fired. looks like the smoke cleared up when it had been running a while which backs this up
If worried about blanketing jib with main, dont sail as deep. Or go goose wing if navigation is the main reason for coarse. Though, I think cats like being a little more off the wind.
holy cow! always use your morter and pestle. always make a dry Masala, with ything you want: a mix of chili-nutmeg-anise-blk pepper, cinnamon.. what ever you want. I usualy also include some kosher salt, and grind it all together.
Greetings from FIJI 🇫🇯.
When your sailing, lines will always be a controlled chaos.
Beware when towing your tender while underway, once a day the piece of rubber will break and you will loose your rubber boat at sea.
(already found one like this lost and drifting in the middle of med sea, i'm a captain of merchant navy ship)
Good luck and fair winds you two!
Glad to hear the police gave u both a break it wife is a jail house lawyer love it watch out for that white smoke be safe love always Freddie
6th on Like/SHARE, 4th on views and 3rd to comment. WOOHOO! Now as far as advice. Well, seeing I know little to nothing about sailing,,, yet. The only thing I can really tell you is. Water stays on the outside. The front of the boat is the Bow and the Wife is always, ALWAYS right. Even when she's not.
You need to take the slack out of the Luff of the mainsail to make it efficient. You should have tell tail wool on each side of the sail so that you can correctly trim the sails. The basics are important... like registering your boat in a foreign country!
Yoshi said when do we eat. Lol
Get a 10 to 20 hp outboard and make a long outboard mount like they make for Wharrams.
I'm very very tempted to do that
@@WildlingSailing Hp are easy to maintain or repair. Easy to bring in to the repair guru.
And they take so little room on deck and inside!!! They are cheap to buy (plenty of second hand ones around). Diesel makes me seasick. Diesel are good for motorboats. Yours is a sailboat. To me it is a no brainer, even if you keep and later replace or fix your old thomper. I totally agree with Taz.
You could put your boom to one side, then another rope from boom to opposite side, tension to pull boom back to center will stop rattling.
❤️⛵️happy Friday Wildlings.
Nice negotiation Nadyanna. Always love the onboard cooking too.
Good luck with your prep for guests.
Loved the sailing and notation. You are on the right track. If you want to go really broad, dropping the main is good. The other option is wing on wing and dead down wind, no mizzen. For a big crossing, down wind, you can do two headsails!
There are plenty of sources for the theory of sailing (books, magazines, YT vids, etc) but really there is no substitute for getting out there any practicing, which is what you are doing 👍🏼my advice keep doing what you are already doing. (plus I enjoy your videos, watching you learn, just wish my kids were as interested in sailing as you two)
Fantastic video you guys I’m glad I chose to start following you a while ago stay safe
WELL DONE, KEEP IT UP. STAY SAFE. XX
Hello! I stumbled upon your channel when you were working on the engine. Nadayana was such a pleasure to watch that I went back to binge watch starting from your purchase. You are both lovely people! I hope that you are able to get your engine sorted and enjoy your time with your parents!
Your engine is difficult to start because its low on compression - ( some people would say worn out).
You did some work on the head, grinding in the valves - that helped restore compression a bit, helping it to start when the weather was warm, but as the temperatures go down you seem to have more and more difficulty getting it to go. Its time for a re-bore.
Its not that hugely expensive if you do the strip down and rebuild yourself. The hardest part is setting the fuel pump timing.
Once an engine has its proper compression it will start easier, hardly smoke at all and overheating will become a thing of the past.
As for using your sails properly... just keep on sailing, you'll find out what works best for your boat and you.
6 knots is just the beginning, Minke can go much quicker!
You are so positive guys! Love you.
By the look of it, that engine only smokes upon startup.
If that is the case, and you have good compression, try looking at valves stem seals, although I seem to remember you replacing them. Likelihood is that oil is collecting in cylinders when not running, or dumped there when valves first open. Sure that motor has life left yet. If smoking whilst running for some time could be piston ring problem. Trickier, but fixable. Either way a problem for winter.
The older I get the more of an anarchist I become!😉. I am so happy for you both that your parents are coming. I look forward to meeting them too.
The main problem with a diesel burning oil like that is you can have a run away diesel. And that is particularly bad on a boat as they tend to end in flames and shrapnel.
Jib n jigger is great in anything over a 4-5 and heavy weather balance, but try to get more from your main.. halyard tension is a good starting point. Bring the sheet off the mizzen to either a new track across the companionway or a fixed pad eye.. a heavy accidental jibe will bring the mizzen down.. play with your Jib sheeting angle, by brining the car forward.
, your leach appears very open, de powering top 1/3 of the sail.. u know what your boat feels like so don’t be afraid to play with all the fine tuning .. oh, n bring your dingy in!
Well guys I can only tell you that the best thing I've seen are electric bikes that can do 50 mph. It was a van life guy that had it and it was very small and compact and the range was good. Might be a solve for getting around on the hard.
About time someone donated a nice Yanmar, wishful thinking hey. See you next week.
They should ask, lots of people with disposable income watch the channel
Glad to hear your getting a visit from family the past few years have been difficult for traveling. Don't get to down about the engine as they are very difficult to destroy lol. By the sound of it your dad will help out with the beast of an engine. A bit surprised to see the boat speeding along in modest conditions. It looks like your sailing future should be a lot of fun. Absolutely enjoying the videos as always great fun to watch! Stay safe and the rest life takes care of itself.
good stuff
10 seconds is not enough to heat the old style plugs. Also, keep the heat on when you crank
The old engine in my yacht always needed 20secs glow. Anything less and it was a no-go.
Depends on the ambient temperature.. Another way is to remove the air-filter & apply a blow lamp while you crank it, so air is already hot, also saves the battery. Fair winds you two
They're not old style plugs tho. They are fast glow plugs he installed.
