Hi Baz, I've been watching your vids as we bought an ultimate 18 a few months ago and we are still working out how to rig it! We are just at the beginning, working out which sheets are which, and we haven't raised the mast as yet. If you were ever inclined to post a vid on what all the bits do on an ultimate, there's very little information out there! We are in central VIC and not far from Eppalock and Cairn Curran. I'm guessing we should connect with some other Ultimate owners to learn the basics. Thanks for the vids, they have been a wealth of useful information.
@VentureOffroadAustralia4x4 2 ай бұрын
Hi Hamish. That's a good idea, I'd be happy to do a video on all the running rigging on the ultimate 18. I would imagine there will be some differences from boat to boat but should be generally similar at least. Hope you're enjoying getting to know your new boat. The ultimate association are a great bunch with a wealth of knowledge and well worth joining. Their season open breakfast is coming up in a few weeks, hope to see you there.

If you get LKTOP Air 3 200W charger hub and use your 120W charger to power it, you'll like it. This charger hub charges all three batteries simultaneously unlike DJI charger hub which can only charge one battery at a time. I bought two 120W USB-C charger bricks for about $40 to power LKTOP 200W hub charger. The charger hub has the same functions as DJI and more. It can put batteries in storage charge and displays batteries capacity in %, temperature, Watt. Go check it out.

Cheers for the video much appreciated. Great work and a massive help! The FASK2 pack I got has the outer seal as well but I didn't see it in your video? Did I miss something?
@VentureOffroadAustralia4x4 4 ай бұрын
Hey, that's a good observation. The outer seal sits in the back of the rotor/hub assembly behind the inner wheel bearing. At 27:46 I mentioned that I wasn't touching the wheel bearing because it had been replaced about a year ago. That's the reason I didn't use or make mention of the out seal. I would only replace it, if changing the wheel bearing or if the seal looked damaged. Hope your CV replacement went well.

I would think that would be a good way to get a hernia, it looks like you know what your doing, just need to pass over the right spot, my other hobbi apart from hoping to sail some time soon is gold slucing, with a river sluice, I think Creswick is not far from you, and they also detect there as well, your garenteed to see gold, slucing in Slatey creek. Even just a pan and shovel. KZbin is your friend with that sport as well. Great to see you both out in nature on an adventure.

Hey James, I definitely don't want another hernia. I'm familiar with Slatey Creek and have an old pan, so I'll have to go for a look. I've been watching a lot of Rob Parsons lately.

I'll save you some time, folks. Here's the deal - the Fly More Combo doesn't come with a power supply for the drone. DJI doesn't mention it clearly on the box, and it's not in the inclusions list. So, despite spending $2,350 on the drone, you'll need to buy a separate power supply, costing around $129 AUD. DJI recommends their charger, but good luck finding it easily. I had to get a third-party charger with USB PD for faster charging. It's frustrating, and I think DJI needs to address this issue. Share your thoughts below and let's make sure DJI hears us.

Hey Folks, have you considered joining a Yacht Club like Geelong Trailable Yacht Club we have a few Ultimate 18’s there and it would help with your rig tuning . Also what better way to get your skills up with a group of like minded people who can assist and provide assistance on the water. We have options for cruising and racing. Westerly’s can be difficult at Geelong if you’re new to Sailing. With your shrouds measure them to confirm their lengths from each side. Looks like you have done pretty well. Last comment is look into the Ultimate Association they have a large knowledge base for your yacht. Hopefully will see you on the water. Regards Shaun.

I did take Lady Emma to Lake Eppalock for the Bendigo Classic before Christmas, so keep a lookout for that video very soon. If you see us on the water be sure to say hi. I always love chatting to other trailer sailors. Enjoy your sailing.

@@VentureOffroadAustralia4x4 We sail the ultimate on Corio bay and a dinghy on Lake Burumbeet and Wendouree. Ended up using 4mm Dyneema from a trailer winch pack (hand to cut the hook off and splice in an eye) the pack said that it was for a 500Kg winch so it should be ok (4mm Dyneema should be stronger than 500Kg anyway) the old Dyneema was 3mm. Haven't has a chance to test it out yet though! I'm terrified of a snap out on the water like you had!

I think the 4mm will be fine. Plenty of working load capacity above the weight of the Ultimate 18 keel. From the research I've done, I think the key is regular inspection of the keel cable and replacing it early if there are signs of wear. Hopefully we'll see you on the water somewhere.

I use a Bluettit portable power station model EB3A which has a 100 watt USB-C port. I mention this because inevitably you will take the drone to remote locations. Relying on your car battery and some cheap 12v adapter is not a good idea. I highly recommend investing in one of the modern compact LiFePO4 power stations. Yeh I know... another expense, but they are worth it. Good for around the house too. If the drone came with charger it would be annoying if you already owned a charger... for example, I would still use my Bluettit to charge, NOT one that might come with the drone. So I'd be complaining I paid for something I didn't want! That said, the box should clearly state "charger not included". :-)
