Re anchoring, I'm not an expert either, but I've read that a scope of 5 to 1 is adequate in OK conditions, and more than 7 to 1 in poor conditions is a fair rule of thumb. So in Mutton Cove for example in 4m I put out 4x5=20m of rode. Easy maths for me. I always use reverse to lay it out too, these days I even make sure the vessel is going backwards before lowering as a common stuff up is your anchor going straight down to the bottom and then you pile a tangle of chain on top, and it gets fouled. So I play it out while rolling backwards. and happy when it grabs and pulls the yacht up hard. Then I know its dug in and can enjoy the sun downer beer with confidence. Great video, looking forward to following your journey :-)
Thanks for the positive comment, it is a great encouragement. Filming on your own can be a bit difficult, I discard a lot of potentially good footage. But I am learning very quickly what does and doesn't work. Love your guys videos!! Make sure you subscribe, etc if you like mine!! Cheers :)
She is actually really good in light wind. 140 percent genoa helps...hull shape is great for light airs. Water and fuel depends on your build as they were all different..mine has 300 litres of water and 35 Litre diesel. Next week my 208litre diesel tank will arrive and I will have plenty. You can modify to suit.
@@wckoek speed thing is trick as I don't know where you will be sailing or how you and I compare with sailing ability. However, new Zealand coastal, sailing with average wind range of 8 - 20 knots, mostly on the beam. My average speed is just over 6 knots. But it's hard to quantify average speed because I haven't accurately looked at it. But...its surprisingly good for the size of boat in my opinion.

I was digging the music man . Sweet video I'm about to do the same trip to the barrier. Yewwww
The Barrier, It's a cool place in this world!
Exciting times!
Nice! Would be nice to catch up at some point if you’re closer yo Wellington!
I plan to do a lap of NZ. I will keep an eye on your channel and see where you are!!
Great video! Must be hard to film with just one person

How does she sail in light wind?
I heard that Miura's have really small sail area.
How much water and fuel does she carry?

@@ryan-w The one I'm looking actually have same fuel water capacity as well, I thought it carry too little fuel.
Thanks.
@@ryan-w Forgot to ask, how fast she actually goes on average?
