- In this weeks episode of Barefoot Travels we crack on with more boat projects and give an update on Irie Cat, the electric conversion catamaran. On splash day they start taking on water on both engines so unfortunately had to be blocked back up for a few more days.

Yeah, watching the last video I was thinking someone forgot to put some silicone or a rubber pad between the fiberglass and motor unit to seal it to the hull. Nice to see it was an easy fix.
Miss you guys, all working great so far. See you soon.
..... well that is a very easily made faux pas .... amazing seeing Irie gliding out in stealth mode onto new adventures ... suggested by YT and have watched a few of your videos and have done the suby, belly, likey, clicky, thingy .... thx for the share, .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...
Thanks for watching!
Its great to see how easily friends are made in the cruising community and great you guys are with your friends. keep up the good work and i cant wait til next week
Awesome work - looking so so great!
Good for them! Need more videos on how the behave! Energy consumption! Range! Thanks for sharing
Will do for sure when we meet up with them again!
Awesome, loved it, give me more please!!!!!
Line slap in marina's give me the irrits.
Been looking for more info about these pods ... definitely could solve a lot of my problems
A person would think that those tiny holes will clog up with bottom growth and the engines could fail from overheating. Hope they work out. good episode.
Yes they are quite small. Might have to clean the bottom especially the motors more often?
Nice sharp paint edge
Thanks!
I’m pretty sure they’re missing the black brackets to install on top of the motor. Looks exactly like how large transducers are installed. I would fear what happens in their travels.
the new motors are nice, but I didn't hear them mention making use of hydro regeneration capabilities with those motors... additionally the new dingy, while nice and large (maybe too large?)... being completely sail driven is laughable (idealistic conditions sure, otherwise a slough if it's any distance, better bring an umbrella). it's nice to have a bigger 'car' to move supplies onboard, however without power consider how weight can impact... I would consider some power, like an electric outboard at least; it's going to be a something that if they don't apparently miss, they will when they happen chance get on someone else's powered dingy.
What there a solution to this issue? It looks like it might be a hole to allow water cooling but I dont know what's in there!
Cheers warren
First again
Crack on shorty 😂😂🎉
Erica, diesel engines/electric motors....
Knew this comment was coming
I hate to be too picky but it's electric motors, not "engines" (which is correct for petrol/diesel power)
Hey guys I really love your TH-cam channel it's very informative and entertaining! I would like to know and I'm probably trying to look it up the wrong way, where did you guys get the rolls of buy axle fiberglass @? If you all could let me know who and set up an affiliate link. I'll buy it from the link I'll have to buy two or three rolls of it and some other fiberglass too. so if it helps you guys out that works for me. so let me know if you can, keep up the great work you guys are awesome
Hey. Thank you!
We bought the bi axel from the local fibreglass store in Fort Pierce. No discounts or links for that store unfortunately.
Dumb question. How do you get the tape for bottom paint 'perfectly' horizontal?
😆 takes time. I don’t think it will ever be perfectly horizontal! Not a dumb question at all!!
if it wasn't for that wind generation, you wouldnt hear it a single bit..
Yes it’s so quiet!
should have waited and checked everything first.
Only way to know is if they splashed
Love you Erica, but you still are getting Motors and Engines confused.
wth? y'all don't have a tarp ? throw up a nice tarp it's very nice shade. easy up and down.
