Hi!! No more videos? What happened? Is everything ok? 😮

[@russellneville7145]

Hi guys how's progress going on your boat. Well, more to the point, how are you? I haven't seen you for a while & was hoping all is ok in your world. I can only imagine how this project could possibly get you down. I'm also trying to fix up an old steel boat. But I'm only putting bandaids on mine because that's all I can afford at this point. I really admire how you have tackled project & how you have fully coated the inside in order to keep the rust at bay. That is something I dream of👍. Hope to see you soon. Keep up the good work 💪 SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

[@kevinmartin3859]

Hi everyone I hope things are okay haven't anything from you of late I hope you are all well and still rebuilding your boat 😊

[@steveironside7255]

Hello

[@wesm3915]

A deadly conversion, you will never have enough power to do a passage without wind, no way to make a long hard run from weather. When you do have a battery fire you can't put it out and no where to go. I love the lines on your boat, the davits are my favorite. Best of luck.

[@Jack-yl7cc]

I think they would run into problems navigating around fishing traps and pots well before they run into a problem with any storm system. Even if they aren't intentionally placed there in the first place, I've had to dodge around those float buoys even in shipping lanes before. Range anxiety on a normal electric vehicle is already enough to make me swear them off, I can't even begin to imagine the level of stress and anxiety going full electric on a boat would cause me.

[@AlanCrook]

Hi guys just wondering how you’re doing and if you’re releasing any more videos hope everything is going well we miss you

[@lanetatom2701]

Is everything alright? You have not been on in a while?

[@jonrjd912]

Are you two ok?

[@reidnolan4456]

How long have you all been working on this project for now ??

[@lahakai]

We have been working on and off for about 2 years. We had a lot of down time in the year before.

[@marcoruis]

This man is making his own little tablesaw!! 💪👍👍

[@eloynogueira]

Mais um vídeo incrível!!!!!!!!!! A cada vídeo fico mais ansioso para construir o meu! Vocês são ótimos!!! Principalmente a parte de marcenaria pois, o casco (alumínio), vou contratar um estaleiro para construir, achei melhor e que seria uma ótima economia de tempo. Mas o mobiliário e interior com todos os sistemas vou ter que encarar. Muito obrigado por mais uma vez dedicarem tempo para compartilhar com tantas pessoas informações sempre valiosas!!! Beijo grande no coração de vocês!

[@louis220558]

Its coming along great

[@nickshipman620]

Hope your all ok ??? How about a quick update just to keep us in the loop even if nothings been done

[@Davidcallard]

I think that for whatever reason this project is at an end. I'm not expecting to hear any more from these people.

[@mattamorra5175]

A cheap boat turned out to be not so cheap.

[@jbprospector3638]

Looking good guys. I know everything is moving slow, but it's moving forward. 👍😎

[@lahakai]

Little by little right? We’ll get there! 🙌⛵️

[@faitestealer]

​@@lahakai Been watching a while but never commented. Many of us concerned I think with no update in over 3 months. Hope you are okay.

[@jeffreylord8172]

You are making a massive error, even with a big battery bank, you will not have the endurance of a conventionally powered boat, in the event of country winds, and tide , your battery's will not be sufficient for a prolonged run, I suggest you reconsider , it is your not only lives you place in jeporady , but those Sent to rescue you

[@RaymondFenech-o1z]

Hi guys no more videos ?

[@kevinmartin3859]

looking great the three of you work well together

[@Juan-jm7sf]

Tena koe nga mihi

[@NapFloridian]

I think this boat sunk....

[@mattamorra5175]

Along with all the camera gear...

[@NapFloridian]

@@mattamorra5175 strange though when you see some KZbin channels and then suddenly... Gone, no announcement, no goodbye, no sorry this didn't work out... Just that vanished.

[@mattamorra5175]

@@NapFloridian Agreed, whether it's good or bad news, an update would be nice.

[@bjrnkristiansen3420]

Just wanna say that I miss you guys, hope to see you soon!😊❤

[@kptbillburkett8735]

Is everything ok? Haven't seen a video in 3 months! Are you still working on the Boat? Are Ya'll still alive? What's up? Is the channel still alive? Or did ya'll give up? Ok I will give it a few more weeks before I drop the channel. So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers 🍻

[@petmen71]

make 1 big accu bank not 8 smal one

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Go hybrid.

[@kohrsthomas]

@lahakai. Is the journey still alive? How are you guys? Hope you are all WELL. LIEBE GRÜSSE

[@louis220558]

Its gonna be a great boat keep on rolling

[@Davidcallard]

What has happened? Nothing new for 2 months, I have a bad feeling about this. Have you broken up? Given up?

[@rainfinger]

We have an electric motor, basically we are sailing without an engine except for the last mile, loving every minute under sail, going old-school. Amazon Brazil has some amazing deals but foreigners should get a CPF online before arriving in Brazil.

[@lahakai]

Ah yes, the dreaded CPF is quite annoying. Good to know you can get it online! Thanks for your electric motor feedback! Did you opt to have a backup generator too or are doing well without?

[@rainfinger]

@lahakai We have a backup generator 2000w is best, but we are using 1000w, making do until we can get a larger one. A backup is necessary Toyama generators are available from Amazon Brazil.

[@Alex_NL]

@lahakai no more video's? No communitie post, no instagrams You gave u ?

[@twostorystories]

Your videos are of excellent quality! Better than some of these high volume channels. Please keep going if you have the energy. You are so helpful!

[@Atochaf1]

The last video about 2 months ago... something bad happened?

[@guest9922]

anyone know whats going on with their project? is it abandoned?

[@spinkey4842]

you gotta add some electrolytes and salt for cardboard to release it's electricity..... your welcome

[@stefanshelenko4487]

Lithium batteries are not orientation limited due to "dry cell" technology.they have clearance issues for heat dissipation.free form the battery layout for accessability.

[@MrJerobona]

Where are you? No videos in the last 3 months! We miss you!

[@markrabone6584]

You guys must be busy - take care and see you when your back online…😄

[@ehofman7636]

Hello how are you is everything oké 😘

[@inakicarrera8098]

Por favor, numerar los videos. Gracias

[@lahakai]

Estamos actualizando nuestros videos con los números para ayudar! Gracias por tus comentarios!

[@dfhepner]

Nice way to make a table saw out of a hand saw

[@lahakai]

That Sergio is pretty clever isn't he 😉

[@lanetatom2701]

I spray cans of that plastic paint on the bottom of battery boxes.

[@Grumpyauldman503]

It’s all still coming together, well done. Can I commend the video editing. Just wondered who does it, how did they learn and what software is used, great use of graphics to explain things!

[@lahakai]

Thanks so much! 🙏🙏 Luke and I do it all 😅 We use DaVinci Resolve free version and taught ourselves. It's really straight forward and its easy to find how-tos on YT when you want to try something new.The Pro version of the software also looks great and we'd love to upgrade one day (just a one time fee evidently) but so far the free version is working out just fine! Cheers!

[@reis146]

Guys any up date please 🤔🤔

[@conradoely]

Desistam não pessoal, força aí!

[@pietoosthuizen1116]

What happend to you

[@barrygorst3613]

You need to have large drainage holes in the lower ends of the battery boxes in the hope never needed but we'll worth drilling out now

[@lahakai]

Great suggestion! Good looking out! Cheers ⛵️

[@jonrjd912]

Praying for you

[@miken7629]

See you using CAD... Cardboard Aided Design

[@lahakai]

😂😂

[@barrygorst3613]

Yes agree all videos need numbering so we can see them in order

[@lahakai]

Ah interesting, we were thinking that people just went on our page and found the videos in order. Are you watching on a TV? Is that why it would help to be in the title?

[@jmkikkawa]

When you sail those "oddly inclined seats" will make a lot more sense!

[@lahakai]

The angle of the benches would have been suitable during the most agressive heel. But since this is a liveaboard boat and not a racing boat, then the living spaces, including the cockpit need to be comfortable while at rest as well.

[@Grumpyauldman503]

What has happened to Luke and Lori?

[@ckeilah]

They put lithium batteries on their boat. ☠️ 😜

[@captainborchik3141]

electric boat is a big mistake

[@joeyblackwell6727]

Facts!

[@tylp4199]

Why?

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Even Uma has a generator.

[@joeeigo9820]

Nah.. but you need to adapt your travel style, you go way slower

[@captainborchik3141]

@@joeyblackwell6727 do a research

[@steveraleigh100]

If anyone is interested, there is an update message in 'community'. The journey still seems to be going. Patience people.

[@geoffgold6773]

Just watched a sailing video with 5 days of no wind where on a 34 ft boat are going to put enough solar panels to keep enough charge to run your boat.Well like everything else you have done on the boat you have a to do multiple times when are ever gone to lean

[@allenwade6087]

More and more people are going all electric,first , always plan trips around weather patterns with multiple days of no wind , modern weather gear provides the capability to do this. Second, LI batteries are awesome,, Third , these two aren’t stupid, they got this..

[@lahakai]

This is very true @allenwade6087 . Uma says this as well. Traveling with their electric motor is a different kind of sailing. There is a lot of planning to understand the weather and the boats capabilities. It has also made them step up and become better sailors so they can get the most out of the wind. Also, Technology has come a long way in a short period of time, and we're very interested in seeing what we can build and how it performs.

[@micheljansen85]

And they went to svalbard with it.. which a lot of these naysayers cant even find on a map 😅

[@ehofman7636]

Sergio is a very handyman you may bless yourself with his knowledge en help.

[@lahakai]

Indeed! He is a man of very many talents, and an excellent teacher as well.

[@harveymcfaull1307]

Can you put numbers in your videos do we xan see correct order. Love the videos but finding it difficult. Especialky the ones were you are fixing the boat😊

[@lahakai]

We can do this no problem! We had them in there before and removed them because we thought people could find the order on our video tab in our profile. Do you prefer watching our channel on the computer, phone or TV?

[@harveymcfaull1307]

@lahakai I watch them on my mobile. Sometimes I screencast to my tv

[@lahakai]

Thanks for letting us know! We have added the Ep# now to the titles. You can also head to our profile and under the videos tab, it default show you all of them in order from latest to oldest. Cheers!
