Hey I'm Tymon. The last project was building a semi off the grid, tiny home on the back of a Mercedes Benz Unimog u1700 4x4 truck.
The current project - converting a 36foot monohull sailboat to fully electric! I documented the house truck build and you'll get to see the ups and downs, the end product, and will be doing the same for our boat project. Join me as I navigate my way through the building/reno process and to see all the adventures. ENJOY!

Thanks for sharing. I went electric 4 years ago, have a 550ah bank, but i went induction motor with a curtis controller, which is my only regret. The sevcon seems to be much easier to program with better tools and service, plus a PM motor would have been smaller and more efficient. I've also not been able to get regen to work. Regardless, I actually use the motor more now than I did the old diesel, for all the reasons you say. I have 1.2kw solar, so get unlimited range at about 2 /2.5knts. Trying to find space for more solar to increase that. It's the motor sailing that it really comes into its own though. People just don't realize how great it is, in light winds with a sail up going at 2/3knts and being able to add another 2knts for free!
That’s frickin awesome! Team electric 🙏
Hey, really enjoying your vids. I've also got a 37ft electric sailboat and have been using a carver surfskate as my main transport onland, though anything more than a couple of km and uphill just doesn't cut it. So been debating ebike/skat/scooter. Think you may have sold me on the skate. Out of interest what trucks does it have, could it be worth swapping out the front truck for a surfskate truck to make it more carvy? Also what boat is that, you seem to have so much room for a 36ft.
The trucks are double kingpin. I wouldn’t swap the trucks out for something more carvy, I actually tightened mine up. You need a more stable setup if you want to go at higher speeds. There is no way you’re going 40+ km/h on a surf skate. But, depends what you want the board for I guess. Thanks for the comments mate. My boat is a lavranos 36ft 🍻
I am seriously struggling to find any wall mounted 3kg washing machine in the UK. I was originally looking for a Daewoo Mini but they seem impossible to get. So I was very excited to see this. I followed your link for this one and contacted the supplier. Who was really helpful and gave me a link to their French distributor. But they were 750€. Is that right? Or am I just being a cheapskate 😂j
Wow that’s way too much! If that link is no good keep searching alibaba for a 3kg washer. The dryer part is useless. Look for suppliers that have been operating for the most amount of years then check reviews. I’d say 200£ plus postage is heaps. Hope that helps 🙏
Thanks Tymon! You are the master of laconic understatement!!! Best short I’ve seen this year! Thankfully the memo to be a twit on social media missed you by a full hemisphere. My daughters think you are my hero… They may be right. Keep on keeping on! 👍⚡️⛵️
Hahaha cheers mate 🙏
There has to be a better way than putting your neck in a noose.
(Pleasure craft Larry)
Love your vids Capt Knuckes!!!
And they love you!! 😜
These videos are just so damn good! Really appreciate the effort!
Thanks mate. Really appreciate the kind words 🙏🍻
Classic. You have it sorted! Keep learning!
Dude that's machine gun speed one liners! I love it (Got a ticket in special relativity as well)
HILARIOUS
Well, done brother! Look amazing
love port stephens
Agreed! Next video I find a sweet little spot in Fingal bay

I f**king love your videos T! Coffee in the jar! Oookbie ;)
Haha thanks Paolo!! My number one fan!! 🙏
Pros and cons, I live in a 36ft bus in the US. The Meepo voyager has served me well. 30mile range means I only charge (on my solar) once a week. I have never run out of charge on a trip with the voyager. The 500wh means I can carry weight (groceries) with no problems. The tynee would make a good spare but not practical.
Absolute solitude mixed with total silence of calm sea water, cooking meals yourself. Man, I love it/ AND ... there is no stinky smell of any walking c@nt or any joyous sometimes crying loudly five-year sperm@tozoid. It is also my lifestyle.
Tree Lopper!! 😂 🌳 ❤
Your feet are getting tingly because your riding In chucks which have a super thin outsole so you really feel everything. Soke skaters like this but for eskate it has not as many benefits to get massive board feel. I switched to vans because my feet were hurting though.
Looks like a beautiful day on the lake
It sure was!!
Interesting, I thought onewheel will do better off road, but now you had give me a second thought. Thanks bro
You’re most welcome 🙏
You should try out different propellers. Diesels usually have way too steep propellers, for electric you want large high aspect 2 blade one
Watch watched all 3 videos,,learned a lot 🙏🏻 I’m thinking of getting a boat and doing something along these lines,,probably gonna have more solar and cells,,fair play on answering most post 🙏🏻
Awesome!! Electric is the go!
What is the knot attached to the car of the traveler guys?
Knot on the traveller car? You’ve lost me. There is a bowline on end pulley (on both sides obviously) but no knot on the car that moves side to side, only pulleys.
Hey what is your climbing setup, share please?
czcams.com/video/tUAsTBgHxqk/video.htmlsi=cHY0Tv2Ud9XxEMZT
Looks like I’ll be following your lead! Pulling out my Perkins 4108 diesel and looking to do a swap for electric in my 41 Morgan OI. Similar plans to circumnavigate and surf 😎
Awesome! You should get some good regen out of that boat too 🙏
The legeeeeend!!
Lots of knots looked like fun! :D
Simple nice footage in the harbour, made me home sick, but could never live there again, to busy. Not much footage of Pittwater area. FYI - Palm Beach, near the lighthouse on the point, is the filming location for Home & Away (tv soap since 1988). Content ideas - Map shown when discussing from>too, for international/unfamiliar viewers. B&G app running in corner during sail, so viewers can see what conditions you're dealing with. 360 cam on top of mast constantly running (& others), so you never miss a thing, like 11:20
Awesome ideas. Thanks Lana 🥂
Great to see you handle a potential dangerous situation. You were in full control!! Good job😀🇺🇸
no, he wasn't, he clearly explained this in the video lol - czcams.com/video/3opiotSpJh0/video.html
woah
Sydney to Pittwater. Done that a few times. 52kts. 😱 the post sail debrief 😱😱😱
Awesome stuff lad! Living the house mind 👍. We’re just thinking about our motor just now, not a clue what we’re gonna do yet, too many ideas - will enjoy keeping an eye on ya, good to be in touch. Cheers, Chris
Cheers mate 🍻 Awesome! Interested in seeing what you come up with 🙏
COOLNESS! BRING IT (the design) TO AMERICA!
Sweet footage again! Thumbs up!
Thanks Marc!! 🍻
I have an older version of that traveller and love it. Adjust it all the time as it's so easy, it'll last you a very long time!
Agreed. Awesome upgrade 👍
I realize it's too late now but I would have recommended the Tides Marine mainsail track system, you would have been very pleased with the installation and operation at a fraction of the cost.
I did look at them. I just thought if I was going to upgrade I’d just go bearings. I’d like to use a tides marine track some time to compare for sure 👍
55F is good on land, but open ocean.... Good on ya, mate!
you've lost me... 55f?
Beautiful! Hi Lou👍
Hola! ✌🏽
beautiful footage from Lu
agreed 🙏
NEVER stop making vids! I love them!! I'm clearly not the only one.
and i never will stop!!
The legend begins! Dude following your adventures is awesome...this looks so big.
Cheers Bud! 🍻🙏
Did you apply any tefgel or duralac to the stainless bolts in the aluminium track?
Shit actually no. Thanks for picking that up Brock 🙏
Glad I'm not the only one breaking shit! At least you are getting out there.
Haha yep every time 🧐
