Once when drift fishing overnight in the Gulf Stream, we had a “spot light” bearing down on us. Started the engines and took off. We couldn’t seem to get out of the way. All lines got tangled up, the other two onboard stumbled out of the little cabin shouting instructions. The panic subsided once we realized the rising moon wasn’t going to catch us. Love your videos!

Tearing out all our old 12v marine refrigeration and replacing it with a 3/4 size household fridge and chest freezer was the best decision. Far more energy efficient (SERE) and easy to swap out anywhere in the world. I can buy 13 household AC chest freezers for the price of one marine double drawer unit. 😊

That extra belt preloaded on the shaft was genius. What a great idea.

[@jerrykoedoot1334]

That was amazing foresight by HH. Maybe have 3 on the shaft, you know, just in case... ;-)

[@dale4330]

Engle fridges never die - 12 volt and 24. I have a couple that are 35 years old. Better to have two fridges -you lose less air when you open one of them. Put all the stuff in plastic boxes then you don't lose the air in the box either. Very efficient. This also means when you supplies are low you can turn a fridge off. Equally good are the Samsung 255 litre Fridges that have been in many caravans on Australian rough dirt roads for 9 years that are still going well. They chew 39 watts all the time and have a 55 litre freezer in them. Two of those would be awesome - when you get low in food turn one off. If one breaks at least you have the other one. NOBODY goes without good refrigeration to live -at the money you have spent -nor should you.

[@carolrichardi6467]

Hard to fix for sure on a boat, I sympathize I’ve been dealing with fridges issues since August. My kitchen is small and requires a 24 inch wide fridge. After putting a lot of money into my expensive refrigerator I finally said enough is enough and just bought a new one. Hang in there - I guess what else can you do! FYI, I love your channel it is such amazing quality.

[@LabRatJason]

The belt as a "fuse" is a very good feature! Glad to see they built it that way. Remember to actually take that shaft apart and loop a new belt over it later, so if you break a belt later you'll still have that backup.

[@Steve-qn8gn]

@@LabRatJason I disagree, there should be a torque converter that could handle that sudden load. The snapping of a belt is lazy engineering. Effective, but lazy.

[@Mike-ml2pz]

​@@Steve-qn8gnI'd say a clutch rather than a torque converter, but yeah. Circuit breaker, not fuse.

[@Maaniic]

Could also have shear bolts as a last measure. They are at least trivial to replace.

[@ayeartovolunteer]

@@Steve-qn8gn Same here. I was thinking a slip clutch instead. You'd want to have a dozen belts onboard in this case.

[@LabRatJason]

@@Maaniic Shear bolts are a pain in the ass to replace, because they shear at the interface between motor and pully. So you'd have to get a drill and an easy-out to remove the broken off section of the bolt. The way the engine is put together you can't access the back-side of where the belt pully is bolted on. In other words, with shear bolts, you need to be able to use a punch to knock out the remainder of the bolt, but you can't do that if it's the threaded part. Really, it would probably be best to go up a step in technology here. The belt pully should probably have a clutch as others here have said. But there is also a non-zero chance that a complex clutch mechanism fails and strands you, and belts are cheap.

Because of your recommendation, my husband (82 years old)and I (79 years old) started drinking AG1, about 9 months ago.

I wash our bottles after we drink our AG1 first thing in the morning, then I put 8 ounces of water in them and put them back in the refrigerator. The next morning the water is cold and ready to mix our AG1 in!

Such a cliffhanger! These initial stumbles with Curiosity 2 remind me of the story of one of the most exciting voyages I know, that of the Kon Tiki. Heyerdahl tells us that, shortly after leaving Ecuador and while they were suffering countless mishaps, one of the crew members said ominously "what starts badly, ends well", a phrase that became premonitory. Jason, my man, having been a motorcycle mechanic for many years, I can only congratulate you on the spirit shown in the face of changing the belt. Have a good one, Wynns!

[@amylouise9853]

I’ve grown up sailing with a family who is very hands on at fixing problems but oh boy am I blown away by the level of issues you are having with this HH boat. I’d never heard of this brand until you ordered your boat and I was so excited for such a beautiful and innovative cat. Sometimes the reality is just so disappointing. The boat is gorgeous and you are both beyond kind and patient with your retrained feedback but I am absolutely blown away with the level of issues you’re having. They seem to be constant and across every part of the boat. I totally understand that there will always be a few issues on an innovative new design and this is at a mind blowing level. On a really fundamental level I really do wonder if you can rely on this boat to keep you safe in dangerous conditions, you need to be able to rely on it. Then on top of things the issues with the warranty work was utterly egregious, damage to the boat by HH workers is just beyond belief. So far the only good thing I’ve seen of HH so far is that they can do an inspiring concept and have some pleasant staff.

[@detroitdiscussion9495]

I don't know anything about boats, but I would have told them to take the whole boat back. I find that having issues at the beginning of anything mechanical, it does not get better. But maybe all boats are big babies like this fragile craft?

[@markhale8703]

I am rather disappointed in HH. Sure their after sales support seems good but a boat in that price range should never have that many issues. Sure there can be a few things that may need to be tuned to improve performance but with the amount of issues you guys have had it's not a good indication for the brand

this is nothing compared to a certain other youtube channel with another different manufacturer that has needed a complete haul out and cutting out dry non-wetted fiberglass. a lot of these problems are out of hh hands, they don't make the fridge, they don't make the engines or the belts, or the junk seaweed that catches on their props that causes issues etc etc. part of their discount is working out some teething issues that comes with a new model, luckily there are no major problems with the actual boat.

I realize that the belt is a fusible link in that system but as easy as the trash came off the prop it wasn't causing any major restriction. If those belts can't handle that little bit of strain they need to look at a belt upgrade or look for something else causing an issue.

Fridge workaround. Ask HH if it is possible to bypass the circuit board and run the compressor (cooling part) manually until they can replace the board.

[@brianstevenson9967]

My thoughts exactly, the freezer still works, I believe you said you still have the ice maker, why the big issue emptying the fridge, it’s an insulated box and it is a drawer fridge so the cold air stays in when opened, why not just put ice packs in the fridge, it’s a pain replacing them after a while but simpler than emptying food into coolers. This seems obvious so I can only think there is some other reason why you are not doing this🤷🏻‍♂️

Sailing has been and will always be a balance of stress and pleasure. There is no other way. I have sailed a lot with my father delivering boats along the west coast of the US. Admittedly the wind was usually predictable and stable so the conditions that you are in were seldom a problem. I am amazed at the amount of fishing tackle in the water. It is a serious concern to navigate through. I feel for you with all of the new boat problems, they are unfortunately going to happen more often these days because of the complexity of modern boats. Your boat is heavily loaded with technology and you will continue to have issues for a while longer. The trick is to keep moving forward and don’t let them drag you down. I would also like to say that you have handled the problems quite well. You have good skills and experience to keep correcting the situations as they arrive. I personally learned so much from my dad during these deliveries that I have become quite skilled at handling situations well. My father was a master at just about everything that could happen. A pretty good teacher but very hard on the crew, me. Your boat is such a wonderful piece of technology and I am truly amazed at how well it sails. It is also so incredibly beautiful to watch under sail. I really like the color scheme. Best Regards, Your Pal Al

[@ryanwarner3551]

You also may be over stocking your refrigerator/freezer. There should be a induction "full" line inside the bins. If you go past the fill line it would cause a airflow or the "air curtain" issue inside and it won't be able to perform a proper defrost cycle and cause ice to build up. If defrost is still not operating properly then check for bad fuses. Usually there is a dedicated fuse for the defrost

[@WillN2Go1]

I don't think anyone reads these comments. But a fouled prop on a cat can usually be cleared with a knife lashed to the end of a boat hook from the dinghy along side. It's a touch method. You can trace the prop and shaft with the tip of the blade. I was doing this on a cat when the GoPro clip we just shot showed that the fishing line had already fallen off. So proof of concept, but wasn't actually needed. We were in very cold water so there wasn't any safe way to get into the water. (I had a drysuit, but if I put on enough insulating layers, there'd be so much air in it that I'd never be able to submerge. And re: the fridge. Sail Oceans a Polish sailing channel has a Keen 50. During a refit they lowered part of the galley floor a couple of inches so they could fit in a regular consumer home refrigerator. It was cheaper, larger and far more reliable and efficient than any custom boat fridge. After all if you are going to make a million of them, you're going to make sure they're reliable or they are all coming back. This is generally the case, whatever item is mass produced in the greatest numbers is almost always more reliable than a specialty (short run) or custom item. I learned from architects that all those amazing Sub Zero units in the kitchens of millionaires? They aren't efficient or reliable and the parts are often back ordered. But they look great. Of course on most boats there isn't room for a full height refrigerator.

That's the cleanest engine room I have ever seen.

Hi kids, the challenges you face now are the stories you’ll tell later. So keep your optimism and joy in the moment and thanks for sharing the difficulties and realities of an adventurous life. Would it be a good idea to get a hand held spotlight for night journeys, spotting mooring buoys and (Persiodon forbid) search and rescue? Something that you can recharge and point where your looking not where Curiosity is pointing. Just an idea from a kitchen chair sailor…

Thank god you made it safely to the marina. I hope they figure out what happened and how to prevent it. One admonition: make sure you have a full set of PPE on board - for one, a better face mask to protect yourself from toxic fumes.

OMG! What a crazy episode! You have to see it to believe! ...gave me a nice chuckle in between. :D

You cannot just go to sleep in the Pacific Ocean..no, you can end up capsized...don't follow..depends on the terrain and the month of travel..each travel is different.. stay safe, and keep your eye open..weather also changes anytime.

100% I would love to see all your tools and how you optimized them. What problems can you address mechanically and what is impossible. What is in between?

Thanks for another great day in the life

Try lightly coating okra with olive oil, then sprinkling on a little garlic powder and grill them. Works with eggplant as well.

Those Knipex tools are essential. Reduce your tool roll size to 10% of what you'd need without them.

Would be worthwhile putting several spare belts over the shaft so that you have more time before you have to split the shaft coupling. Those rope strippers on the shaft don't cope with weed very well!

[@littlebitofhope1489]

I thought the same thing. I would have about 5 or 6 if they break that easily.
