Boogie Nights diary: first step guide to alternative living
zhlédnutí 212Před 3 lety
A diary talking about the origins of deciding to live an alternative life on a boat and living small. From early life triggers (positive story) to a gradually shift in attitude, to living a complex but thoroughly rewarding life outside of societal norms. Sticking two fingers up to gender expectations and being brutally honest about the realities of choosing to be a bit alternative. You are invi...

Boogie Nights AZAB 2019 half way
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 5 lety
video by Marina Foti on go pro session. weather was 25 knots and increasing to a gusty 35 knots. sea state rough. after three reefs, rolling almost all of the jib away and dropping the main down the track we eventually had to run before the weather and ride it out that way.
ah I got this today :(
Lazy on the main sheet😉
bummer. still exciting times.
I moved from being a land lubba , several houses , raised the children, later huge change done enough miles to sail around a few times , been on loaddddds of yachts , after a bit I thought he'll no I work spend loads of time on them, il live on land , I took a year out had to recharge the batteries , and the live on a boat has returned .
Morning Jayne, I wish living on a boat, but in wintertime the cold and moist makes it too uncomfortable. The solution would be traveling to the south like the migratory birds.
With a good heater and dehumidifier , it can be lovely and warm and dry in winter. I've had more difficulty with humidity in the Azores than in the UK. If you find a boat you like, that suits you and your character you'll find happiness wherever you happen to be.
Hoi Jayne, good to see your new rigging is ready, have a safe sail back. Hopefully covid wil disappear soon, so we can sail wherever we wanna go.
Got a new mast then?
Yes, indeed. The jobs still not finished yet. But getting there.
@@JayneToyne Safe journey home, if that’s where you are heading.
@@markturner6008 probably will bring Boogie Nights back to the UK eventually. Nothing is ever guaranteed.
Pretty Disturbed, is this sailing with your new rigging? And still waiting for part 2 installing the lineair drive from the autopilot.
Hi, no this is an old video from 2018. I just found it again and decided to drop it into my CZcams space. The new rig is gradually coming together The linear drive story is currently drafted up but I had to go rummaging for the pictures. I'll upload that in the next couple of weeks as I'm busy editing videos that are paid work, so ya know, one pays for the other. :-)
Brilliant. LOL
Hi Jayne, I see you have another project besides rerigging. Good choice to install the linear drive. I installed one last spring on my 37 cws and it's preforming very good. Looking forward to the next episode, wandering how you make it watertight.
Hi, this video was made back in May this year. The installation was successful and the new evolution linear drive was absolutely faultless all the way to the azores. I'll be back in that locker soon inspecting everything. Including the watertight gater I made. I'll add the video to CZcams when I get a chance in a couple of weeks.
Hi Jayne, everything ok? You’re making progress with rerigging? Still looking forward to the next episode. Greetings Bas.
Good To see that the both of you are ok, what was the cause of dismasting?
Hi, I'm still none the wiser. The mast broke above the first spreader. I saw it go, but didn't see the top of the mast so can't say for certain if a cap shroud went or not. When cutting the three stays that were curved across the coach roof, they all felt very much under load and none had any sign of slack from being detached from the mast. That's not to say it wasn't, it was very dark, no moon, no light source other than head torch. The mast was deep underwater while i was cutting the stays. It could have been a stress fracture from a rivet as there was several fittings where it broke. Including a self tacking jib sheet sheave box. The previous (original) rig had some fixed check stays that would support just above where it broke, they weren't installed on the new rig (that broke) and this could have allowed mast pant in heavy weather. We had been through some very heavy weather two days prior to mast loss. Those check stays will be reinstated for rig number 3. Fingers crossed the next rig lasts as long as the first one (25 years) rather than the second rig (5 years) It's very expensive to replace a rig!
It must have been a frightful experience, good luck with rerigging and keep on sailing.
What’s the plan for getting home?
Good question. Two options: replace the prop with a fixed 3 blade and motor to lisbon then coast hop to the UK. Then rerig in UK. The other option, leave boat in azores, get new rig made in uk, ship to azores. Rerig there, then move to a more sheltered marina for winter (dec/jan/feb) sail back to uk early spring with small crew.
Jayne Toyne We were coming the other way, from Horta to Plymouth (in a Bowman 57, not my 36 CWS) and saw a couple of AZAB yachts on AIS. We were able to route north and east to avoid the worst of Miguel, and had a fast ride home - an hour over 8 days. Good luck with the next steps.
A tad chilly... how’s the wind turbine now?
I have to order a new circuitboard. I think it was the fault of the manufacturer for leaving metal turnings inside the tail fin that have eventually caused a short in the circuitboard, but the company was bought out or taken over by another. AND it's out of warranty. I don't have the time or energy to fight it. so I'll write about it instead.
Jayne Toyne bugger! Is the board itself fried or is it just a couple of components?
Ken Haylock I'm guessing it's a component. But as i skipped advanced electronics while i was training to the shit ton of other things I DID learn to do, I'm prepared to pay cash money in return for goods. In the grand scheme this year, it's relatively cheap, compared to the replacement deck panel, non slip deck surface and probably a few other expensive things I haven't thought of yet.
Jayne Toyne I have a soldering iron, care to ping me a couple of hi-res photos of the board in question, front & back? You know people who can fix this sort of thing for you if it is fixable, and if it is as simple as an exploded transistor or a blown cap, like for like replacement is quick & easy...

Well, I have always been a fan of Sterling Pro charge battery chargers... I think one of them on my boat is 10 years old (20A), the other 2 years old (40A)... They come up on Ebay fairly regularly, unfortunately fairly light on there at the moment! The nice thing about them is they have 3 separate outputs (for different banks) and you can also wire them up in parallel to get more power. Try www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=sterling+pro+charger+-to+-10+-mobility&_sop=15&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=sterling+pro+charger+-to+-10+-mobility+-sport&_sacat=0
interesting video Jayne, sorry about your misfortunes. always one thing after another with boats isnt it. im looking at getting a 100w panel and regulator for my jeanneau once i have sorted the umpteen other things that need doing first £££££££££££££££££££££££
the solar and wind turbine were some of the best investments I've made so far on this boat. Buying good batteries was another. (the first set of batteries I bought were a bit budget and they didn't last very long at all. you get what you pay for) hopefully I can get the wind turbine back up and running again soon. I'll be needing it pretty soon.
So... the battery charger... 3 years isn’t an acceptable lifespan for an expensive piece of electrical equipment, and your warranty is not your only protection - I recently had a 5 year old TV repaired under the Sale of Goods Act, and just a few months ago got a new iPhone 6 on the same basis. Obviously if it failed because of salt water ingress or something else that caused corrosion then you might be SOL, but if it just died with a common fault (like a capacitor dying or the transformer windings overheating due to a design flaw) then you should have the law on your side to get the battery charger repaired or replaced by the retailer who sold it to you...
Is that a school by Burnham on crouch yacht harbor. Hopefully getting my next boat there within a week or two. Anyway who's he, seems a bit of a nightmare. Sounds like superhans from peep show
no, he's a decent instructor. We were just doing a hove to and reefing drill. That was normal banter between two friends.
love your boat
and admire your skills
what kind of daly kwh are you getting?
+DJ Vertigo that all depends of course on how windy it is. It starts to spin at around 8 or 9 knots of wind, but only really starts to charge at 12-13 knots. I get between 4 and 8Ah out of it generally depending how windy it is. That's enough to keep the boat powered indefinitely when sailing, that means nav equipment including autopilot. Though I switch my fridge off when sailing. I supplement it during summer time with solar panels when I'm moored up, which give me additional charging when there's no wind. I can live pretty much happily off wind and solar. only need to plug into mains for heating in winter.
Happy New year Jane
