Outfitting Our New Electric Hybrid Catamaran

[@Tatiacha]

HH really lucked out when you chose them, the kind of coverage and info you give as you go through the build process is just something they never could of hired anyone to do for them. I think they know that too!

[@laurariley308]

How is it possible that Nikki can look younger in each vlog. Such a nice person. Both you and Jason always crack me up. So fun each time.

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

Being a Kiwi, I am really pleased to see you have gone with a Kiwi designed and built tender. Just one of the many good things that came out of your time in New Zealand.

[@55camille]

As a fellow kiwi, I concur.

[@brettcranston734]

And a kiwi anchor... a kiwi jet engine... and a kiwi designed catamaran!! Now... if the All Black's can just beat Ireland.....

Too long with filler videos.

[@johnjunior6101]

It is so nice that you could get some answers to the questions you had. And also different ideas of what you want to get yet. Also seeing that the company listened to some of your suggestions for the dingy. Have fun and stay safe.

[@sharynlynmorgenstern9594]

The boat fenders were incredible and great learning more on all these items 👍

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

The fun the two of you had in the tender during trials was a dead give away. Kiwi's rejoice! ZeroJet, thanks Neil. I love the extended throttle handle and kill cord. I hope they wear it. Finally a watermaker manufacturer that agrees a watermaker needs to run routinely instead of periodically. 👏 Zen, thanks Fabian. SLV will be green with envy when the HH80 passes their school bus yellow tri @30 knots. 😂 Excellent job showcasing products you've chosen. Thanks for sharing.

[@GerardoLiraSolis]

Great video as always guys, I guess it was very fortunate for you to have many of the suppliers of your boat in the same place and be able to ask those questions. Regards from Mexico

[@tinawildoner7725]

Posted early this morning which was a great gift. For those you spoke with, they appear invested, as you guys, to provide a reliable product and set proper expectations.

[@TangerineTulip]

So enjoyed this. Awesome to see some kiwi ingenuity in the mix. Fun vlog Jason & Nikki, much ❤ from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@BostonClipper]

Water-maker sound transmission. Through the air (your mic) and through the mounting to the hull/bulkhead (notice all the soft white foam)! Your hull/bulkhead becomes a very large diaphragm with motor vibration like a speaker. Also sound travels more effectively (Amplitude and distance) through solid materials than air. The open boat show booth with, background noises (people talking) and no mounting requirements is deceptive. Sound isolation mounts and acoustic foam on walls/ceiling of the compartment can help.

[@CheersWarren]

This is why I’m a Patreon of the Wynns. Other YT channels getting new boats is going for huge capacity water maker, but the wynns did the research and a lower capacity, quiet, no generator reqd, use everyday or so for reliability , built in emergency bypass, low amp usage ,brilliant! Thanks Niki and Jason Cheers Warren

[@scottmichaels12]

Personally I think it seems kind of silly to give KZbinrs money on Patreon when they are purchasing a multimillion dollar toy. Between the boat and the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of accessories, I think they’re doing fine without Patreon. They get sponsorship deals as well as KZbin ad sense money and with more than half a million subs, they make good money. It’s kinda like sending millionaire politicians money. But hey, to each their own. 🤷‍♂️

[@davidwheeler7503]

​@@scottmichaels12I think a lot of these youtube channels have all just become one huge marketing scheme and have all lost their individuality. Pretty sad to watch the destruction of what they once was.

[@CheersWarren]

@@scottmichaels12 fair enough, I’m delighted to support their efforts , videos take a lot of time and hard work to produce. I get a great deal out of them even though I’ve been sailing all my life and trained in boatbuilding years ago. I’m always learning.

@@davidwheeler7503 very few make much money from KZbin and ads. Patreon is direct and personal thank you from me.

[@paulwackerla6330]

I like that you are going with an electric tender. All you need is some sun for the solar panels. When your out at sea, there are no gas stations, but the sun is always available. You guys are great and I can't wait to see your new boat.

[@bobuncle8704]

The tender looks great, and 30% more range. Really like what they’ve done with the water maker too.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Like you guys, I get a kick out of meeting the folks behind the products, not just the marketing material. Unlike you guys I do this at RV shows, not boat shows. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new boat. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

Those fenders are really cool. I vote for the new logo on at least two of them.

[@BJ-zu5pz]

It's getting super excited for you two. Your new boat has been a long time coming but I am super excited for you. I have been with you on your big crossings when you lost that center section of your old boat and could see the ocean underneath, your time in New Zeeland, and so on. It has been fun going through so many of your journeys and all the hard work you put into your old boat. Now you are getting a brand new one, I am so happy for both of you. I'll be watching as you go through the ups and downs of the new boat and my prayer for you is: may anything that will go wrong happen while it is still under warranty. Have a great week ahead.

[@mattf49006]

great updates folks very informed and smart choices on outfitting the new cat ..can't wait to see it all come together ! (and the gal at the fender booth was a smoke show...memories of falling in love every half hour on leave in France)

[@syfeelingood]

The Jet tender looks like a heap of fun however it is not practical as a 'car' for a cruising sailboat. Meaning life onboard requires a reliable, go anywhere, fix-anywhere form of transport. I went through two tenders before settling on an aluminum flat floor tender with a 25 hp motor. It lasted for my 6 years of circumnavigation and could easily handle 4 people with dive gear, tons of groceries, etc. It was not as sexy as a jet tender but worked everywhere in the world for what I needed. Someone further on in the comments also hits a key negative on the jet tender... slow speed maneuverability. No rudder means using the jets to manuever. It goes fast in a straight line (although very tiring on the arm as your arm IS the rudder instead of a fin on the motor) but is hard to work with at the normal speeds you would be doing back and forth to a marina/beach/etc. Simple math tells me a 14 kw motor using electricity from a 10kw set of batteries means at full speed the batteries will empty in about 40 minutes. Also physics say that to replace the 10 kw of energy you need the full output of a 12 kw generator dedicated to the recharge or using solar panels in the range of at least 5 kw would take a very long time (assuming full sun for hours of course). Having a second set of batteries sound like a good solution until you need to swap them out with the ones in the tender. I would image each of the 5 kw batteries weighs about 30 kg each. One more negative, this tender will be extremely heavy and hard to pull up on a remote shore even with wheels on the back.

[@aliwins]

Hello Nikki and Jason! Love your channel. ❤ You mentioned you’re shopping for inflatable paddle boards…. Highly recommend Sea Gods paddle boards! They are based out of Canada but their boards are made in China, so maybe hopefully easy for you to order. Also, I think its that time of year boards are on sale. Their artwork is second to none and they make a really high quality inflatable SUP. I’ve had mine for a year and used it a ton in that time. It tracks so well and paddles smooth and easy. You can get some speed out of it too! I absolutely love my Sea Gods Diatom! If I was going to get another board I’d try the Carta Marina Cx. It is the next step up from a wide beginner board and it has a kraken on it. So cool.

[@snafufubar]

Thanks

[@sgilman1985]

Great stuff!!!! Here’s a little bit for outfitting!

[@TheAtma50]

Great choice for tender, I remember when you reviewed that tender and it seemed like a perfect fit for you guys. It must be difficult to go to a show like Cannes and not buy everything you see, I don't think that I could be trusted with the budget!! Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘

It's so exciting to be getting close to Boat-Day. You'll have all the latest technology any boat can have. All your years on the boat have given you the expertise to equip the boat with all the cool stuff. Hoping the catamaran is ready in the next 4 weeks.

[@TimKing314]

Hi Jordan, love your channel and followed since the beginning. Ive done several sailing trips to the Ionian in the last few years and I can tell you the chaos of people getting in to port and getting anchored, or tying long lines to shore, and then snagging chains and anchors in the morning when they leave is totally normal, it's actually part of the entertainment out there. I was terrible at stern to med mooring and long lining to shore, now I'm very confident doing it. It may make you anxious but it may also be because you spend so much time in deserted anchorages. I would love to have the time to sail as you guys do but i only get a week here and there, so please don't beat us charter sailers up too much!

[@fogllama]

Watching the flags whip in the background while your audio is perfect floored me. Your "dead cats" are astounding at removing wind noise!

[@jaymacpherson8167]

I am very excited for your new boat! I hope the sea trials go well and reveal any needs. My being a water scientist and engineer, I will share some thoughts on the Schenker Zen design from intake to finished water: Their schematic shows the pump as the first component. There should be a prescreen before the pump to extend the life of the pump head. Ideally, the prescreen would have at least two mesh sizes: one for course material (possibly a grate), and one for 200 to 300 µm. Those will require maintenance in the form of manual clearing, though there are designs that are fairly effective at automatic clearing, which can occur when the boat is underway. Pump maintenance: beside the manufacture-specified maintenance, the next best thing to do is record the pump sound periodically (every 3 to 12 months) and play back the previous sound segments to listen for changes in pitch, irregular sounds, volume. Any substantial change in any of these indicates the pump motor may be dying. The next component is the 5 µm filter. While that can be fine for many of the waters you will be in, clearly you’ve sailed in somewhat fouled waters and may again in future. I would add a coarser filter before the 5 µm; possibly a 25 µm that is easily changed out or manually cleaned. I suggest this because 5 µm is fairly fine and the particles you will entrain may clog it quickly. Additionally, 5 µm is not easy to manually clean (obviously ease of manual cleaning depends on what is clogging the filter [particles versus organisms]). My suggestion for a coarser filter upstream of the 5 µm is dependent on the relative costs of the filters and how often one has to replace the respective filters, versus the 5 µm alone; sadly such a cost comparison requires trying both configurations. So I would install the hardware to enable adding a coarser filter up-gradient in future, even if you choose not to add an up-gradient unit at this time when dozens of balls are in the air. The rep is correct that reverse osmosis (RO) is more efficient running constantly, or near constantly. The membrane fouls faster when water isn’t moving. As a side note, testing the efficacy of a RO unit is easily done with a conductivity meter, which is likely what is used in their monitoring device. An ohm meter on lowest setting may measure conductivity manually as a back-up. One unrelated side observation…the ZeroJet batteries are secured with webbing that doesn’t appear to contact the battery case. That leaves me wondering if they will shift in rough conditions.

Good for you, Wynns, resisting the temptation to make low puns about 'ball fenders'; I'm proud of you! What a great interview with the Shencker people! Usually 'techies' boast about the electronics, but this guy accepted the fallability of electronics and emphasized back-up and bypass systems. Hope those guys give you serious discounts (or freebies), because the tough questions you ask, and honest answers you squeeze out of them give their products serious credibility... and didn't Nikki look chic and cute amongst those snooty Frenchies!

[@larryhampton9069]

When I first saw the batteries, before I found out they were batteries, I thought they were fuel tanks that you go to shore, get fuel and take it out to your boat to put into your tanks with maybe an integral fuel pump. Empty they wouldn't add a lot of weight when empty and under the sides take up no room and frees up storing fuel jugs on the boat.

[@MikeC19100]

That looked like a very information filled show for you both. It’s nice to see some of the new items going onto your new home-on-the-water and to know that you’re getting the newest, and upgraded, versions of the water maker, dinghy and anchor. What was it like to get something to eat or drink while you were there? I didn’t see any vendors around the out er edge of the show, but I’m sure they were there since that’s where a lot of money is spent during any event like that. Looking forward to seeing your boat on the water.

[@JustinJamesJeep]

Im so glad you went with the zerojet. It seemed perfect for you in your review. Its such a nice boat

[@ernest795]

You should have OC build a solar panel integration into the topside(possibly add folding ones to setup along side topside integrated panels) so it can recharge while out. They should look into the panels Aptera is using on their solar car. The mini size of their panels mean each one charges independently so when people are sitting on the sides many of the panels will still be charging at full capacity.

[@meestahwah]

Pretty excited you went with the jet OC! When you did your dinghy tests, I assumed it was just as an exposure for the mfg rather than an actual contender due to cost. So excited to see we will get to see it put into actual service.

[@josiahhosking3211]

Thanks Jake and Nicole for Le Tour en France 🇫🇷 boat show. Wow! I am amazed to see all your questions regard to product part of your new boat and seeing how much ingenuity and design has gone into them to make thinks safe, fast, and last long especially when you need to know how things are going to work and fit in your new boat design and at what costs and so much more. So much work and effort you both have gone through to make sure that it all goes well. I love the fact you both got to meet the engineers and boat productions managers/ manufacturers behind the scene during your tour in France and getting them to show and ask questions. Good to see James Hakes , I believe is his name the kiwi engineer doing a great job and making new boat design, wow he is genius and his whole company.

[@RichardRoger1966]

Note the sound from that water pump would be amplified on the boat, as it will be self contained in an aquatic environment (20:10'ish). Similar to an aquarium and why you should tap on glass, water will amplify that sound. And though it is quite quiet on land (a solid surface), that noise level will most certainly go up in the real world setting (on a boat cat or mono). It does sound like a significant improvement though.

[@markwh2]

Owned a jet boat for 8 years for 8 years, Yamaha SX230. Enjoyed all of the +’s you mention. Looking back I would not do again for 2 reasons, clogs easily. If the water is clear your fine, any plant life or debris and you will be constantly unclogging. With the impeller only a few thou from the tube walls unclogging can be difficult. 2nd, off plane maneuverability is tough, virtually impossible in wind and waves. Throttle is your friend. Aftermarket fins did help. Hope a smaller tender won’t be as bad.

[@russjam121]

Glad you found fendertex for your new fenders. I saw Keith from sailing zatara doing a section on their video with the same lady and are going to upgrade to those fenders also.

So, you just hopped on a plane from China to Cannes for the boat show. I must be nice to be so flush! The Zero Jet is the nuts! Does the sales bod get paid by speaking as fast as the product?

Holy Mackerel, cylinders, balls, foam and bladders, lion, tigers and bears, oh my! Like that 80 footer. Love to see it when it's done.

[@larssolem2507]

With the speed of the HH44 you migth get a problem with a steady flow of water into the watermaker feed pump unless the intake is located aft in the hull. I had problems with the cooling water intake to the fridge in our Belize43 when the hull where the intake was lifted out in high speed or when we had the wawes beam on and the hull lifted and water would drain out from the pump and air entering and causing an airlock. I then had to prime the pump via a Tpeace and ahose connected to the gally faucet to get it started again - bit of a pain in the behind. I seachest with enough capacity would have sorted that out, but not enough space. Looking forward to see the boat and follow your adventures. And the WM was sooo quiet🙂
