Man that was breezy. Not even gusting 45, but steady. Glad nothing broke.

Good to see you both weather the storm without any damage and the haul out went well. Now the fun can begin sorting all those winter jobs!!! Yes a few extra fenders will certainly help, if you have the storage space the large round ones always helpful. You know what to ask for your birthday now.

Haha excellent birthday present! One can never have too many fenders! Thanks so much for watching! Here’s to saying goodbye to the storms and heading out to warmer seas and sunny days!

Thanks so much for watching🥰🥹 Yeah we were really regretting the decision to ‘go large’ on the panels, for a while there!! But they are surprisingly/reassuringly robust😅 xx

Apparently, boats that move around a lot especially to different areas seem to develop less marine growth than those staying in one spot or sticking to one area. Scaping the crustaceans immediately after the jetwash while everything is still wet is a good idea

Oh yes we’ve actually heard that too since. Definitely a good reason for us to keep on the move! Great comment, thank you 😊

Crazy weather in the UK... It happens more often than normally. You have a massive draft for the sailing in the UK waters! We do struggle sometimes with our 1.5m and I know that on the next boat I would love to have a lifting keel. It does makes things easier for sure. Have a great holidays! A sun is much needed after such a rubbish winter here :)
@SailingIndiana Жыл бұрын
Oh yes we get all weathers here don’t we?! We think it’s definitely time to start chasing the summer sun. We hear you on the draft we are about 1.8 and everywhere we go we end up half sat in the mud!

Pleased to see that the panels are aerodynamically tuned to take howling gusts as well as improve downwind performance. Always nice to see less crudd than you feared...

Gosh we were holding our breath throughout the storm! It was pretty scary, we thought we would definitely be at least one panel down by the morning, but they held in place. 🙌🏼

In England is it customary to have a diver clean your boat's bottom? In Florida many of us have a diver come each month and clean our boat's bottom, shaft and prop. Of course, the water is much warmer here, so marine growth is an issue.

What?! This is amazing! No this isn’t customary here at all. Getting lifted out here seems to be the option for getting everything cleaned! Think we need to get ourselves to Florida!

@@roncanizares9966lots of places to dry out in the uk, alongside maintenance piles or harbour walls and can clean it off at low tide. Basically free but even if a charge then much cheaper than a diver. Doubt that would be much less than £150 just for a call out. As most owners lift in the winter anyway for maintenance then bottoms are clean then. Also the water is cold until about May so minimal growth so unless you’re a really keen racer then most people will only do a mid season scrub at most.

Bilge keels is the job, go dry with low tide, clean the hull and when high tide comes u sail away.
