You really have to do something with the wind noise on your microphone.

Little fast on his shifting, nervous of course, but slow is better! Hard to see out of rainy glass.

Good insightful video. CO is deadly. Just replaced my smoke/ CO detectors in my summer home. The new smoke detector has a CO detector built in as well. 2 for 1!

If you really want to impress those who understand. Practice seamanship and boat handling like this Captain. No showboat macho movie crap. Just nice and easy. No drama.

Please use a mic with a wind muffler. Couldn't understand anything you said.

It not the same but I had gotten really sick in my home. Thankfully it was the spring so I opened the back windows of the house plus the door. The whole problem was the stove and water heater both had gas leaks. It was a real eye opener.

👍

I wouldn't do that dragging a dinghy like they are. He's lucky he has as much crew as he does. I am always trying to do something like this with only maybe 2 of us aboard, and always in a current. I'd also only try it with bow or stern thruster (or both).

I love how all your videos are short and sweet, not any extra BS.

OK so I get it. Capt. Chris does stinkpots. Which explains the "what the heck is this" stuff.

I hate to correct you publicly in one of your videos, captain however, I’m compelled to let you know that was not coconut. That was Wisconsin cheese. 😊

I think that is a Hatteras 38 DC, likely -53 series Detroit’s.

Single engine or twin? If single with opposite rotation, he may have had difficulty making turn to starboard in the narrow fairway.

I agree with previous post. Need a wi d screen on that mic.

Love those older boats that have been loved and maintained. Beautiful, classic lines 🥰

Obviously, the owner of that boat knows what he’s doing. He even had his two crew on the bow for back up. Total experience is a great thing to have on any size boat and this captain has it. Well done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sir, I love your videos, I recommend you to use a microphone, they are not expensive at all now. Thank you for your videos.

Good morning. Vry smooth opperation

Nice job Cap.

I agree with the comments below. This is an old 12-meter boat with an innovative forward rudder that was largely ineffective and, overall, a slow boat.

That's a great marina. Used to keep my Silverton 41AC there before I sold it.

Good morning

That was smooth!

Greenies and Gators yesterday. Must have been tough for you.

Don't know the scale, but it looks like a 12 meter, with a shallow draft keel. No big mystery.

Is that Tom Blackallers 1986 Americas Cup boat, USA? US-61. I saw his boat years ago at a Marina in Sausalito, CA. He lost to Connor who went on to win the Cup in Stars and Stripes. I recall reading at the time that the boat was either crazy fast or exasperatingly slow. The prob is they never figured out how to minimize the slow and maximize the fast. In the early 90s I was wandering around a marina and saw a huge gorgeous hull with a big hole just forward of the keel. The forward rudder was off the boat and laying next to it on the rack. It was clearly the forward rudder. I recall it having a very high aspect ratio just as shown in the videol.

I use a plastic squeeze bottle with a graduated, precision tip; readily available for under a couple dollars in the kitchen utensil aisle of many stores.

That's the old America's Cup challenger USA (sail # US-61), built for the 1987 Louis Vuitton Cup, the winner to take on the Aussies in Fremantle. She didn't win and the Cup race was Stars & Stripes vs New Zealand.

I wish I knew the name. We call it a squirt gun. It was a small can with a small finger pump and a flex metal hose on top. It really made it easy to fill in tight spaces.

How about an old dish detergent squeeze bottle🤗

I have one of these on my '87 hull. It has never failed me so I have never made any attempt to 'fix' it. Neither has the power trim on the Mercruiser. On my cars, I'm a sticker for fluid replacement after the correct intervals. On the boat, lower unit and crankcase every year. I have had the boat since new.

Good morning

Very difficult to see the fluid level in those when they are almost always in a bilge area that’s difficult to get to.Shadows and that black bilge funk gets on those tanks as well-and then the 60 yr old eyes really struggle.Filling it is a whole other contortionist’s operation-LOL

Captain Chris, always enjoy your stuff I believe it’s a 12 meter (americas cup boat) with a canard rudder

Good morning That looks like an incredibly fast sail boat !

That doesn't look like a p7100 injection pump. Is that common rail?

Good morning

Prime rib night?

What application would have a fuel cooler?

Good morning

Love the content. Simple, straight forward, Informative :)

Is that for sale?

🎯👍❗️

It looks like an attempt to break the boundary layer (friction) between the hull and the water. A large loss of efficiency on ships. Google states breaking the boundary layer also reduces wake which will also increase efficiency.

Guess we need to make a road trip to New Bern. Maybe find an old retired factory worker and ask them what they were for?

I am thinking stability. They would disrupt the water flow so not sure how it would make the boat more slippery. I can see in rough waves it would have a potential positive impact. Those are guesses.

Good morning Interesting design

...break up the spray over the bow?

Was there a”Crunching” noise 2 seconds After The video ended?

Thats why i only fish in no wake lakes here in Oklahoma!!!
