Thank you for the great video but I can't help but notice the metal chain being stored next to a battery with exposed battery post. 1:36 Where I work we had a truck catch on fire because people were storing metal in the battery belly bin. Metal moved around made contact with both post , heated up red hot and started a fire. I apologize for pointing this out I'm not critiquing I just see a safety concern that's all , love the videos 💕 thank you

[@brandonboand]

You two needs to stress how important it is to LIKE SHARE and COMMENT!!!!! You both deserve much better viewership ❤

[@briangoetting8120]

Your Cat makes a 5 star resort look like an outhouse. What a beautiful boat, as well as two beautiful people.

[@krisnace]

I am blown away what a beautiful boat. Thank you so much for sharing it with us God bless and safe sailing

[@bronxcapo4809]

An engineer with metal chain going all over a battery with exposed terminals. How long before we see a video after boat burns 🔥 down

[@jonathanscott550]

Great video showing your Cat. She is sure an extremely well fitted boat. four couples could be very comfortable sailing this absolute beauty. This would mean Yana and William you'd have to find area to put your belongings. The solar power and the wind power you have aboard is "WOW"!!! It's a lot. Definitely you are ready for off grid sailing. It is a lot of boat just for two wonderful people. Looking forward to next video stay safe and enjoy yourselves.

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Shes absolutely beautiful. Its more like a floating condo. I could see wanting to live aboard with all that room. I love the salon area. Its such a well planned space. Thanks for the grand tour.

[@lonner98]

Gorgeous catamaran, I am very amazed with the SABA brand! Congratulations on the updates!

[@dennyclosser8456]

Wow! What a beautiful catamaran! I can’t believe how much space is on that thing. When I get the chance to go to a boat show, I’m going to definitely do it because I didn’t believe they’d be near as many rooms just by looking at the two big hulls and then the space between. Thanks, you two!! love you guys and I will definitely be looking for more. Be safe.

[@julesmoto9022]

Hi guys, enjoying your content thanks. I am a sailor and will be watching your learning curve with interest. Good on you both. Can't wait to see you on a beautiful day with your para sailer spinnaker up. You will be do proud of yourselves. One point though. I was alarmed to see your 12 volt battery with no plastic insulator cover over the terminals to prevent some metal object like all that anchor chain or a stray screwdriver causing a short and fire which could even then set off your lithium bank into uncontrollable thermal runaway. Also hope you have a really really loud temperature alarm with a probe or 2 or 3 taped to the side of that lithium bank. Please do that immediately for your safety.

[@ryazwinski]

yea I saw that too - 12v battery, open lugs, surrounded by chain.. kinda made me cringe :P

[@helmuthwitulski1221]

Great video and what a boat!!!!!!Of all the sailing videos i have seen to date i would rate your vessel no 1!!!!The thought of having a fully equipt vessel that is fit for a king and queen!!!!!! Enjoy your sailing and wishing you both a Merry Christmas wherever you are!!!!Keep well and see you in the new year!!!!!Regards from Germany!!!! and thanks for your last reply it his appreciated!!!!!!

[@scottlessig4945]

day it's gone the battery till u plug and wrap the chain again.. There should be a separate chain that only opens a panel that goes around a neck of the part where they terminals are.. So u would be how I call it smooth sailing .. have fun. ..

Such beautiful people and my favourite by a country mile .... Safe travels and Merry Christmas ✌🌞

[@mrh7861]

Lovely boat guys! Can I offer some words of advice. I was a little concerned to see the exposed battery terminals in your anchor locker. I would strongly recommend covering all battery terminals to protect against accidental short circuit. The lithium bank is relatively high up in the locker but it contains a huge amount of energy that you do not want to accidentally release. The lead acid battery in the bottom of the anchor locker could easily be shorted by anchor chain and cause a fire. Love your videos. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you for the input. We filmed the episode before some of the details were completed. Waiting on polycarbonate to fabricate a battery protective box and building a shelf for the windless battery up high away from the chain. Thanks again. Capt W

Thank you Mark! Merry Christmas to you! 🎉

[@laurapitre5797]

Beautiful catamaran!! After seeing the tour I'm pretty sure we were on a mooring in Koh Lipe when you pulled in a few days ago. FYI those lithium batteries are very sensitive to small differences in resistance between cells. Do what you can to protect them from salt spray and mist and the resulting corrosion. Love the videos and welcome to the catamaran world!

[@DawnHunters]

Is crazy how small the world can be. Were you on a catamaran or mono? Capt W

[@waltervanderboor]

Hey lovely couple. I am sure you'll learn sailing along the way, and the boat starts to look a lot better. I am just concerned if you'd "anchor" near us as you did in this video, using a mooring ball like this? video part (1:13) Why? it's one line through the loop that can shave quickly and then you're free to drift. Instead use two lines through the loop, each back to the boat on a different side. If one lone snaps, the other will still hold. Maybe it was just a short stop...But nevertheless I thought I mention, you would not be the first to find out too late. You're in my favorite sailing area, nice like the rest of Asia but more constant wind. Looking forward to the next one. Happy sailing!

[@DawnHunters]

Hello Walter. Great advice re the mooring ball. We actually have two lines, one to port and one to starboard plus a center to the winch that can pull us closer to mooring if required. When grabbing a ball for a few hours we only use the center line. Good observation!! And welcome aboard. Capt W

[@fredbear2648]

A battery with exposed terminals with chain all around it?

[@DawnHunters]

This is out anti pirate device!!!! Lol Good observation. Capt W

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

​​@@DawnHunters Keep those cells watertight and belayed..😉🧙‍♂️ I hope they are padded as well as a boat in rough seas can be subject to 7-12 G forces. It's a good boat to live aboard and you always have the option to go hybrid power with regen In the future as you have the both skills and the other energy sources to follow that hybrid path, if it becomes viable. The big advantage of running the ice motor as an diesel electric generator is the Stoichiometric efficiency .. cleaner emissions and reduced wear and servicing of drive system plus you can place it anywhere just need buz bar and or cable link to high small light high torque transmission free ultra low maintainance silent pollution free motors that can regen while under sail 🤔.

[@pascaldervaux8389]

Hi guy's, very nice vidéo, I love it! One question!! A 48V house battery bank directly connected to a 12V windlass ??? Where is the magic ??? Grettings from Belgium :)

[@DawnHunters]

Good question- There is a DC/DC converter between the two 🫣

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Yikes, please put all batteries in a box, or at a minimum, cover all the exposed terminals. If any chain drops across the 12 Volt battery, very bad things can happen, and the 48 V battery bank has vastly more power and energy. Update, I see this is addressed in other comments, but as shown, this is not a safe condition.

[@kenberger1814]

Awesome cat! If you are going to sail do it big, I’m still looking and dreaming. About the trigger warning on age? I’m 59 and my wife is 15 years younger so no stranger to that.

[@ianbatchelor1854]

Great video very enjoyable to see your catamaran its beautiful. Where in Thailand are you?. I'm in northeast thailand miles from any sea. 😊

[@toptastic66]

You're adding so much, you'll have to haul out again just to raise your boot top. If you add more, you'll soon need a bigger boat.. not size, but weight.

[@Really2950]

Those 2 wind turbines will reduce the solar charge significantly. Any tiny shadow on the panels kills the charge capacity. Just saying…

[@DawnHunters]

Hello That is the consensus of many but very few have solar experience on a vessel. After living aboard for over 7 years and being in the tropics I designed the wind turbine height far above the panels, calculated average sun position relative to the panels plus increased 48 volt lithium to over 32kw. The sun is strongest from 10:00am to 3:00pm near the equator so there is zero shade. Then when calculating wind gen output of 400 to 750 watts day or night they far outweigh the possible negligible loss. Having designed and installed solar systems on offshore oil rigs we had to compensate for drilling tower, supply cranes, and helicopter landing pads. Secret was not to design a system by textbook but by real life environment thus over engineer and then calculate the loss. Better to have this thought process which will also help on overcast days, rainy days, and nights. Thank you for your comment. Capt W
