Hi everyone! Sorry for the delayed release (usually I try to get a video out every fortnight on Saturday). In any case I hope you enjoyed this one, we had a lot fun (or at least "fun") beaching the boat. Check out the aluminum prints that I'm offering at art.alluringarctic.com , this print run is only available until the end of the year! Thanks for watching!
Congrats on your first successful Beaching.
Always a nervous experience.
I had it forced on me last year in a three day 50knot storm gusting to 80knots.
Beginning hours after our 400nM first Voyage to bring Wanderlust the 13 ton Hartley southseas ferro cement ketch from Thames to the Tauranga harbour.
Fortunately she proved completely unfazed by Beaching in meter high whitcap chop.
Very informative and as with all your videos a pleasure to watch
This was quite insightful thank you. Congrats on getting the job done guys. Hope you had a good night's rest after all that.
hi, very nice episode again, thank you for sharing. I did have an adjustable pitch prop and slowing is very likely due to that. ideally you have some specs on that, RPM vs pitch. you can check if that is correct using underwater camera. not sure how that works on your setup, but possibly you have a way to adjust the inner and outer shaft relative position (and therefore the pitch) somewhere where the shaft meets the engine
Don't fret, we'll watch anything from you anytime. Superb content!
Don’t ever regret your vid’s or the release time, this is a real hard core channel about the genuine sailing experience 👌🏽
thanks miq :) and for your long support!
I’m here 😉
There is no other channel that makes us feel as if we are (almost) as close as you both are in just about everything you do. Your camerwork, drone footage and commentaries are without peer. Thank you. Best.
One of the best sailing channels on TH-cam.
When tall ships ruled the seas it was very common to beach them for repair, especially ships of the line, they would beach to repair the hull damage incurred in battle. You are following in your ancestors footsteps, beaching is a valuable skill.
Keep up the fine work as you take us along on your wonderful odyssey. 😊
Indeed!
In fact our coastal sails ships in New Zealand were built to be beached on southern Ocean surf beaches and loaded with 200ton of logs or rocks by the time the tide returned.
They were also designed with rear cabin tops strong enough that up to 200ton 40m ships would lower their masts, be intentionally flooded off the beach, turned upside down and hauled up at high tide, so that maintenance such as Recaulking could be done on their bottoms.
@@Maungateitei Ayyy another kiwi! I don't envy them launching ships of that size off some of our beaches
As a young midshipman my Grandfather saw Cutty Sark ( Ferreira at the time ) beached out of the water in South America being scrubbed late in her working career , was just before WW1.
The Coast of North Cornwall has spots where ships anchored & beached where no one these days would think of it, you can find capstans marked on old maps showing that there was infrastructure made available for the coasting trade!
Your knowledge, skills and experience are incredible. Your cruising choices are so much more exciting than the typical sailing through the tropics. Choosing cold weather destinations is so daunting yet so different. Your artwork is equally impressive.
Awesome episode. Being able to beach her makes life so much easier and saves you a lot of money.
Wow! I just learned a lot about centerboard boats. I thought the primary advantage was to reduce draft, but I never considered downwind surfing and control. Thank you for the education. I'm slowly coming to realize why you wanted to buy this specific boat. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
We have a centre board. We can beach easily and the big thing is in big following seas you don't track across the face of waves, you just slide off. Much easier to steer because you aren't fighting off broaches. You do need to lift the board when motoring because the prop has a lot to do with the big skeg in front of it. I was worried about high wind stability, but it feels the same as the deep keel boats we sail. However, reversing with the board up means you don't need a steering wheel because the boat ignores all steering input and goes anywhere it likes. We go where Fountaine Pajots can't.
Just more maintenance below the water line
They are highly vulnerable to damage. Running into a semi submerged shipping container or icelogs (Alaska) isn't going to be pretty.
After the Key Bridge incident, it is time for engineers to consider emergency AI sensor-rudder control, and studying smaller boat structures would be part of the physics, electronics and mathematics.
Actually, after having sailed in high seas on larger ships, I generally took for granted a keel was best but I never worked it out with equations.
A lot safer than a traditional fin keel. The centreboard just kicks up instead of deforming the hull around the keel attachment. I had an Ovni ( similar design) which had a bursting disc in the hydraulic rudder so it also survived impacts. Two biggest disadvantages are ballast high up in hull so a lot of weight with low AVS and sails like a pig to windward as there is no hydrodynamic lift from the keel.
Totally understand your feelings - when I beached a boat for the first time it felt super awkward. After all, all the years before I did everything to avoid touching the ground! But once you've lost the fear, it's actually quite easy.
By the way: Great boat and congrats on finding a girl who goes to Alaska with you in winter! The furthest north I could convince my wife of was Skagerak in summer. 😀
This was most interesting and something as a landlubber I had no idea that beaching the boat intentionally was possible and relatively safe. I hope you never have to do it an emergency for repairs. Safe sailing guys.
That was very educational for me. I've been boating for 40 years. I have a 30 ft SeaRay powerboat, but one of my best friends is a sailor and used to live in his 40 ft Bristol.
Best of luck to you guys on your adventure.
Hi, this was a fascinating episode. I love your explanation of how, why, when, where, and the maintenance items you service, test, clean, and grease. It worked perfectly. The time lapse was awesome. My worry was bears coming for a visit. Thanks for sharing your team brilliance. ❤
Your boat is like a surfboard surfing down waves. Very cool
As a rule of thumb to determine the correct pitch of the propeller: Check the maximum rpm of the engine with the gear in neutral (or get it from the manual). Then do the same while driving the boat full throttle in calm seas. The latter rpm should be a little below the former.
I have the same impression about max rpm.
You can also clean propeller from paint - uneven surface can provoke more cavitation which means less efficiency.
I wonder if is right propeller for this specific engine (rotation , rpm , power).
Good luck!
Keep it up! The cold weather adventure is exotic in its own way.
Best sailing channel of adventure ever! Cheers from Canada!
Great video! We're sailors, but have never done anything like this. So cool to see. We continue to love your content. ❤
Wow! You guys are tough and brave- doing this in the the winter and in “the wild”, all alone! Great filming too, (as usual):👏👏👏
Well done you two! no simple easy thing, yet now you know you're ready if you must. The AK coast is relentless unforgiving and endlessly beautiful, thank you for bringing that beauty down here.
Wow! All the work and filmed too!
You two are so fun to watch!
This is the best sailing adventure channel on TH-cam. You “guys” rock!
Amazing to see the boat beached with the drone shots. You guys seemed to handle the whole situation like professionals. Well done!
Genuine content that makes me feel close to you, almost on the boat with you. Great honest work!
Awesome bay you found , great job beaching her. Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
Outstanding job beaching your boat! Interesting centerboard info and seeing the underside of your yacht. 👍
You two are so intrepid.😮 when I was 14, I worked at a summer camp and learned to sail a 32' boat, taking kids out on to Lake Champlain in NY. That was fun! But THIS is several magnitudes above! So much knowledge (that I never learned). That's why I so enjoy your vids.
Really interesting to see how beached the boat and were able to see the underside. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
given the tough conditions all around thanks for including the very interesting and informative detailed video and comments !
Very interesting video. I really enjoy when you take us along and tell us all about what you are doing. Beaching the boat was cool. Glad your boat is holding up so well. I
Excellent demonstration of skills and knowledge. A lot of variables to take into consideration and anxieties to keep under control. Good job, anf glad the wolves and bears left you alone.
Amen about the wolves and bears not interrupting. I could almost feel the stationary sets of eyes watching the massive alien on their beach. Fortunately we weren’t the only ones that knew you didn’t smell like food. Glad the low cost ‘on the hard’ worked out well for maintenance and practice. Y’all are completely awesome in the courage department. You did a good thing purchasing your sailing craft. Thanks for being so adventurous and taking us along. Hope yall have a great x-mas and new year holidays.
I just wanted to comment that it looks like you have a great 1st mate! Always working
Love to see your channel has grown the way it has ! You have a special young lady as your helpmate, she’s a brave soul❤
Good job guys! That must have been nerve-wracking the first time. Now you will have more confidence doing it again, we’ll done! Also super interesting about keel and hull shape in big waves, had no idea that was the main benefit to this design, thanks for sharing that 👍🏻
Amazing You Can Beach Your Boat Without Much Fear!
Very Nice! 😉👍
As a well past it Sailor, this edition was not only enjoyable but brought back memories of good seamanship from our travels. fair winds and safe passage to you both.
Best sailing content on YT.
That's a very adaptable boat. It should work well in the NW Passage. Good luck over the winter. Merry Christmas!
Easily the best yachting video on TH-cam.
I found your video very intense and exciting. It brings back memories.
The word “beaching“ (“échouage“ in French) has a broader meaning, close to “grounding“, which is often associated with shipwreck. So, when you do this maeuver, there's a kind of anxiety that doesn't leave you until you manage to get back out to sea !
Your boat is truly awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Being able to beach a boat is such a great capability! It's like carrying around a dry dock with you all the time!
Excellent production please value your output it is very professional
And definitely one of my favourite TH-cam channels
Wishing you all the best and seasons greetings
As many have said - incredible and inspiring. So few Canadian’s are connected or want to be connected to our beautiful North. Thank you for opportunity for us to be part of your virtual crew as you make your way through the Northwest passage. And glad to see that H/H has signed up for sponsorship. Helly Hansen, while proudly Norwegian, is owned by Canadian Tire! What an opportunity, for a brand that is part of the Canadian culture, to support your important project. Bravo! From a snowy cabin in Quebec
The vertical piece that is bolted to the stern keel area is called a ‘strut’. It hold the cutlass bearing and your prop shaft goes through the cutlas bearing. It’s very important that you do not damage the strut as they are a pain in the ass to replace and expensive. I have a 31 foot sloop with a busted strut right now and to make matters worse the bolts that attach the strut to the hull are terminating under the fuel tank which means to replace it we have to have one custom manufactured to fit our vessel, then the motor will have to come out so we can get at the fuel tank, remove the fuel tank to get at those bolts that hold the strut in place. Of course the prop shaft and propellor have to come off also and a new cutlass bearing has to be fitting in the new strut. Seriously a pain in the ass to deal with. We really enjoy your segments and are impressed with your sense of adventure, youthful energy, calm demeanour and the quality of your video including the amazing drone footage you get to help illustrate your journey and to inform and entertain your audience. Keep up the good work, fair winds and flat water to you my friends and do pop in and say hello when next you are in Ganges, Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada. xox.
thanks for actually having something productive to say. Fair Seas and best wishes on your repairs !
No, it's called a skeg.
Would the design of your boat prevent you from having one made up that, with some additional structural beefing could be bolted in place without any removal? Seem like it would be an offset in the price and much easier and less expensive in the future to do any maintenance. I've done some retro fitting on a few of my boats where the designers were just not mechanics and didn't think about the issues that were built into the boats.
I found it interesting. And your explanation of keels and dagger boards was very interesting.
Another excellent video, thank you. Having an integrated keel on mine, it's very interesting to see yours with the centreboard being able to beach. Well done!
Love to see an intelligent finnish young couple enjoying the life 100%.
I think you're very smart!
gratz on the successful beaching. This was a great episode to watch.
Great episode! Good to learn this skill before you need it! There is a box that just arrived, and the return address is “Alluring Artic”. Wonder what my wife is giving me for Christmas?
Oh you’re the lucky one. Great wife.
Great to be able to do that. A good way to check the bottom and to know you can do it in an emergancy
Such busy bunnies, calmly and efficiently getting on with it.
its the most original thing I have seen done as sailors and skiers. you really push the limits!
Great job, well thought through 😊 Love your channel❤
very interesting episode. I just got into sailing a year ago and it's so nice to get all this detailed insight from you guys. Also I really love how calm you both are :)
So refreshing to see you both embracing the area you are in. Sailing for real! Adventure for real! Well done.
You all are unique among the sailing channels!!!
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Love your video's😊 , so down to earth and just so practical to learn from your experience's👍.
Merry Christmas guys, bloody brilliant as usual. Santa wears shorts here in Australia.
You could actually be THE luckiest man in the world to be doing all this with smart beautiful Sohvi!!
would
Super cool stuff man! I am from United States, Minnesota to be exact and it gets really cold here as well, my dad sailed when I was younger. I always have loved the water.
You I have nothing to worry about getting your videos out late we all know that sometimes you can’t stick to a strict schedule and you’ll get to it when you can aargh matie. CHEERS
Only two Finns will be up for this. Great videos. Keep them coming. Great shots.
This is taking sailing to another level,proper maintenance 👍
A boat you can beach, the way to go. Bye bye till next time, and have a good Christmas!
So very impressed Juno , yall make us locals look like wimps. Hardcore professionalism. Hol fas
Probably the best video of yours yet! Different, entertaining, informative, and actually exciting, despite your measured, calm commentary!!😊 Well done for a good beaching. Don't ever worry about 'delaying' a video release, I doubt there's any pressure from viewers, simply 'cos your videos are so good! And it's your life, we're like voyeurs looking in for a while. 😊
Juho, another educational vid. very cool, always love your content. thank you
Fantastic. What a successful operation. And yes, I love the underbody of your boat. Very seaworthy.
I am surprised you don't keep the daggerboard low enough to protect the rudder. Keep up the great work!
Great video! You did an excellent job going through the entire process of beaching your boat and why.
Schön euer Unterwasserschiff zu sehen. Und eure Instandsetzungsarbeit zu zeigen.
Handctaft...workt... Meerjungfrau.....
❤❤❤❤
Sailing like.........🎉❤
Great Job, Guys!! Very educational. And, for sure, you guys go places where no one else does. Someday when I grow up and have enough money……
this was really cool :) I had never occurred to me that this was possible with centerboard boats
You are a really good instructor, I'm learning so much. It's great when I see another video coming in. Keep up the good work and congratulations on a very successful beaching!
Real interesting episode. Hopefully you can figure out what is going on with the propeller performance. Favorite of all the sailing channels I watch. Soon I will have the print of Lumi at dock at De Courcy Island, British Columbia. A Christmas present to myself. Happy Holidays wherever you guys are.
Fantastic to learn some new things about the boat. Thanks for taking the time to do the videos.
Thanks again for yet another great and wonderful episode.
Such a beautiful country. Phantastic scenerey.
Beaching your boat… you are brave…
Being able to beaching like that is really cool. 😊
i have been watching youtube a long time you are the first time i have subscribed to anyone but you guys are amazing good luck on your travels!!!!!!
Thanks!
OMG I'm so jealous!! It's looks soooo Relaxing anchoring up in a bay in Alaska in the middle of a snow storm!!⛵🌨️
Sailing in the Arctic in the winter. Classic. Greetings from Thailand.
My first good look at you current boat, very nice looking! I know you and your gal worked diligently on it! Cheers!
Lume is such a perfect adventure boat and you have both done an amazing job bringing her back from the brink of abandonment. I guess skiing/snowboarding will be next on your list with winter setting in. Amazing footage and great to learn about your experience with the 2 centreboards configuration. Thanks for your efforts putting together this informative and interesting TH-cam channel.
Welcome everyone to the Fourth Annual Sailing Channel Awards! First, a big thanks to all of our favorite Sailing Channels who helped us vicariously crew along with you as you sail around the globe. Second, thanks to all who voted and either viewed the videos or even became patreons to help keep the content coming! With that said, our Top Award for Best Adventure Sailing Off the Beaten Path goes to Alluring Arctic Sailing. Congrats on the great ideas, whether rescuing stranded boaters on freezing arctic beaches, skiing virgin Alaskan mountains while gently alerting Karhu, Karhuuuuu, beaching your own boat, or catching all sorts of fish for dinner, your filming is utterly fascinating! Please keep at it and we will keep watching.
Wow! That was incredible.....Thank you!
Good job guy's. Don't apologise for anything on your videos, we are just along for the ride.
I used to have a variable pitch prop like yours. I'd similar problems knowing exactly when it was feathered exactly or when it was at full thrust. I did what you did and took it out of the water, marked the position on the control handle when feathered exactly , then put the prop to what I thought was it's maximum thrust, marked that. Then played with it once I was back in the water. That seemed to work.
Looking forward to seeing you next time. And a merry Christmas to you both and an awesome 2024. ⛵🍷🍷
the word that you were seeking was 'skeg' - sternward projection, and for your boat, from which the propeller shaft protrudes.
I like designs that enable lower cost of ownership. Every design has pluses and minuses for different sailing conditions, but helping to keep your wallet in the plus status is always a good thing.
My present boat has a centerboard.
I found out, if you are in a warmer environment, you really want to lift and lower it regularly or the marine growth starts forming in the cavity pretty quick.
Once that happens, it may not lift ( or lower ) when you need it to.
In my case, with it raised the bottom of my boat looks like a Whale belly, and unless you brace it up it will roll onto one side similar to a full keeled boat. Just not as much.
I basically raise it to explore where other boats can't, with my 2 foot draft.
That was a Great video , interesting to see the capabilities of your vessel and crew .
looks in great shape
Great job beaching the boat. Textbook!
I didn’t know you had a rear daggerboard but it makes sense. And to be able to pull the centerboard up sailing downwind really does help while surfing 🏄 down the waves downwind!
Good job working the tides. They can vary up to 25’ here in Juneau during the spring king tides. Before you said how you were going to do it, I was saying it out loud to you while watching the video! I had a 20’ sailboat with a retractable keel and beached it often in places I knew were mostly sand. A friend has a remote cabin and there’s a great beach close by and I’d beach this boat on an incoming tide, run up and check his cabin, then get back onboard and back out of the bay! Not only did the keel retract but the rudder would flip up (mounted on the stern) and still be in the water but above the bottom of the boat. Plus the outboard motor mount allowed me to pull the engine mostly up but still have the prop and water intakes below the water line. I once ran aground up the Taku River but just jumped overboard and pushed the boat off the sandbar! With the keel and other things up, it would go in about a foot of water!
Cool idea about the bottom being somewhat flat on your boat. She was made to beach, which is a good idea of you have issues below the waterline and are in an emergency.
I didn’t know about aluminum anodes. We only have zinc ones in town but I might try finding them online this winter. I haul my Catalina 27 out this coming springs to replace the flax in the stuffing box and replace the cutlass bearing, and will do bottom paint and zincs, so I might switch to aluminum if I can find them.
Good episode guys! Enjoyed it very much. If you come back thru SE Alaska, come visit Juneau and I’ll play host!
We run a boat repair shop at the PAF boatyard in Dillingham Alaska from April to October and have anther shop over in Naknek in the Silver Bay boat yard same time of year. I repair boats and we do spray foam insulation and ar the top in our field. To new shaft logs to bulhead replacement I can do it all if you ever need help up in thise areas feel free to reach out. I always love your relaxing ways and learn alot avout sailing. I live on my 32 ft Challenger Sailboat in Bellingham Wa during the winter. And i fix the fishing fleets boats up in Alaska during the summer and live on land lol I see bears about evry week at our house in Naknek. And a greatbplace for bird watching. Eagles galote lol. Keep up the infirmative videos. And if you ever find yourseles in Bellingham Washington or up in Naknek or Dillingham lets have dinner and chat? Cheers.
I used aluminum anodes for a recent few cycles, typically needing to replace them after 6-9 months. I keep my boat in Sinclair Inlet on the Puget Sound. There is significant sea life due to regular currents and lots of nutrients. The aluminum anodes would become completely covered by barnacles in a few months, particularly in early summer. Concerned that corrosion protection was being compromised, I switched back to zinc on my last cycle. No barnacles, but no zinc remained after 4 months.
Great video! Thank you. Wishing you both a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! From PEI 👍
9:38 Sohvi looking like a toddler with the goofy walk😅
I wish i had a boat to beach. Or just a boat. Or maybe a beach. Oh well, good cheers to all, and maybe some for me.
You guys are great, excellent production quality, I love learning from your channel❤ How resiliant you are, and being such a seasoned artic sailor I'm allways amazed, you are most generous and wise.
Blessings love n light from Denver, Colorado
