Video

Thank you for watching!

On my P34 there are large washers and nuts on the keel bolts. The last video I did on the sole of the boat there is a section where I show the bilge completely dry and you can see the keel bolts.

Thank you for watching. I will make sure I add that to the video next time. Unfortunately, the Triton 2 cannot be upgraded via WiFi. Hopefully B&G will address that in future versions.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Where would you put them?

Thank you for watching! I used 2 mm EVA Foam. You can order it from Amazon. My compartment was very smooth. If your compartment has a lot of jagged edges or other things that could cause a problem, you could use thicker EVA Foam. Maybe go to a 6 mm thickness. Best of luck with your project.

Glad to help!

Interesting information. Thank you for sharing. Will do some research on this.

I did a little research. Here is the information on the recall and the year models it affects: Jeanneau Yachts has issued a recall for their Sun Odyssey models 410, 440, and 490 produced between 2020 and 2022. The recall addresses a safety issue with the Sleipner-Sidepower retractable bow thruster modules. Owners of these models are advised to inspect the thruster area for water ingress and stop using the boat until the reinforcement of the thruster flange is completed. Jeanneau is providing this service free of charge to ensure the safety of their customers . There are no current recalls for the newer Jeanneau Yachts 55, which has received accolades and won awards for its innovative design and performance . If you have one of the affected models or need further assistance, it’s recommended to contact your dealer or Jeanneau’s customer service.

Thank you! We are very proud of him.

Thank you for watching. I will see if I can get to a 350 in the near future to do a similar video.

Everything is possible! 😀. Here are some things to consider. Having a Pet onboard will have its challenges depending on the size of your pet. If your pet has not been used to being in confined spaces for a long period of time. This is something you should consider. Adding the solar is a good option. That said, you also have to add enough battery capacity to store the energy. Do a spreadsheet of all the things you want to have on your boat and calculate the power consumption. Based on that, add another 20%, and this should give you a good idea of how much battery capacity you have to add. Also based on how many batteries, think about the weight impact on the boat and where to install them to keep things in balance. Going to an induction cooktop would definitely extend your cruising. It removes one fuel type to have to carry. Just make sure you also buy the proper cookware to use with it. You will be giving up the oven, unless you add a small convection oven that you can run through the inverter. Just food for thought. As far as watermaker is concern, I am more a fan or the portable Rainman units. They take less space, they are easy to use and maintain, and if for some reason they need service, you take them out to a service center for them to fix. Adding the extra refrigerator and an additional fuel tank, in addition to installing sufficient battery capacity is going to add a lot of weight into that storage room., which may change the balance of the boat. Something to think about. You may be able to get rid of the bench under the Nav station and find a refrigerator that would fit that space. The 349 is a nice coastal cruiser, but it is short on space. A large amount of the available storage space is located on the Port Aft Quarter of the boat, which means everything you add, all the wight will go there. I would advise you to do some research and estimate the additional weight you would be adding to the boat. Here are some examples: If you add AGM Batteries 12/105, they will weight about 66lbs each. A gallon of diesel weighs 7.1 lbs. Lastly, think of it in terms of time, Once you load the boat with the equipment, and you add your personal items, will it still be comfortable for you to go cruising? Does your cruising involves being at sea for more than 2 weeks at a time, or would you go port to port every 5 - 7 days? How will you handle waste (You have to store it until you can get to a place where you can off load it)? Hope the above gives you some food for thought to do you personal evaluation as to whether the 349 is right for you. Best of luck!

Thank you very much for that detailed lengthy reply and everything resonated with me I'm going to need a bigger boat, I think the 410.@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres

@@tonyoreilly7196 If want a new 410, we have a brand new 2024 Jeanneau 410 available for sale. We have been authorized to give a 10% discount on the list price. If you are interested in a used one, there are several 410s available for sale that I can send to you. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thank you for watching. In the early days of sailing, sailboat designers wanted to keep up with the classic look. Now a days they are using modern materials. Some use lighter colors and laminates vs actual teak. In the 80s & 90s there was a lot of veneer used.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching. There are different boats out there for different styles of sailing and different styles of living. Great thing about being a sailor is that we can all find the right boat for each of us.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Very True Jose. Though presently I am finding a problem finding a Cruising oriented Shallow Draft with no Sailboat Racing Monohull influences and dedicated to Sailing in the Mediterranean, on this side of the Atlantic. I’m not sure - yet - that I can afford to buy a new Island Packet 435, which can be built to accommodate all of my needs. My budget is restricted to Beneteau Group Cruising models which Almost have a Shallow enough Draft. I need to have the fitting out of a recent model done here in the UK, as I can get the Liferafts, Dinghy, flotation devices etc, at reasonable price here, plus work done post full independent Survey done for insurance purposes, prior to crossing over to the Caribbean. I can also have the preliminary Boat Registration done, prior to the Survey for completion in the BVI. So everything can be a legitimate Tax Free Export, as my long term Home Base is going to be in the BVI, plus Hurricane Season Visits up to my friends in Massachusetts, so commuting to and from the Caribbean. Well that’s the Plan anyway.Best Wishes. Bob. 👍🌟🌟🌟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

I think that trying to get Tax Free is going to cost you more in movement and rigging. If for example you buy a new boat in Florida you sales tax is capped at $18k USD. It will also not require a survey as you are buying a new boat and it is a shorter sail to the BVI. We have a brand new 2023 Jeanneau 490 available at a significant discount. If you would be interested in something like this, please send me an e-mail where I could send you the information.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Hi Jose The Tax Free Part comes by Default with an Export to the BVI, which I need to have as a base for about 5 years anyway, but everything Depends for me on an investment in Silver Bullion I made years ago when Silver was really cheap, and which at some point, as it is actually rarer, and far more valuable than Gold, as it is need3d for literally everything in the modern world and the Gold to Silver Ratio is very likely to Reverse ? Sadly, I had my Working Life Pension Pot Tolen, along with everyone else in the West, and I am down a minimum of £25 million as a result, as Our Governments took it to invest in China, which is why China has had the staggering Economic Boom this past 30 plus years. I do .ike the 490 Sailboat very much, and if you still have it - actually I wish you every success in selling it in the meantime- and will get in touch to see what else you have available when I have the Funds - or the metal may be extremely desirable to transact for. However, much may depend on the approaching Election Result in Britain, as if Labour Win, it looks like they are planning to turn us into North Korea 2.0, so I may end up being a Refugee heading to the BVI Anyway. Fingers crossed, the voters wise up in time. Keep Up the Great Work Jose, and my Very Best Wishes to You and Yours. Bob in Wales. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍

Worth knowing, if you ever come across one Jose, is In Decades worth of Comparison Testing, the very best Liferafts are those from Seago, and here in Britain, they are less than Half The Price of American ones, they also sell great inflatable Tenders, and a wide range of good sailing gear. So far though they do not export to the USA. It is important to me that all of my onboard Safety gear is well up to USCG standards and Specifications. tbh, I look forward to getting everything right with a Sailboat, if possible via USA, Caribbean, or this side of the Atlantic, and would love another Coastal Cruise down the Atlantic Coast of France, Spain, and Portugal to Gibraltar, which I have visited many times, then down to Cape Verde which I eould love to visit again, before crossing over to the Caribbean. But if I can Fly to Florida, and pick up a Sailboat there, no problem, as that almost happened in 2016, but then found a boat up in Massachusetts. Best Wishes. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

It actually has large deadlights and hatches, so lots of ventilation and light.

Thank you for watching! Wishing you smooth sailing on your trip to Bermuda!

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Thanks Jose, Much appreciated. Keep up the very different and useful walkthrough reviews.Bob.👍✨✨✨⛵️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

I have not had time to do that video. It is on my list. Will try to complete in the next couple of weeks.

I connected mine to the NMEA 2k network. Raymarine provided the pin configuration so I could make the cable to connect directly. The other way to do this is to get a converter from Seatalk to NMEA 2k.

The motor is screwed on the back side of the autopilot wheel. The post I attached to the pedestal provides an anchor that keeps everything static so the motor can spin the autopilot and at the same time your steering wheel. Hope this answers your question.

I was able to get it through General Propeller in Bradenton FL. Call and ask for Pablo Soto.

Thank you watching. If you ever have any questions, just message me.

Thank you watching! Please make sure you format the USB Stick with the correct format before you load the update. That was a mistake I made when I did this the first time.

I am working on sorting all of that out. I believe the only thing I will be able to do is waypoint routing, but may need one more component to do that. I will do a video of it once I sort it out. Thank you for watching!

Your videos are really helpful. Thank you- appreciate the support

Thank you for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for watching! I have not yet done that video. I will try to get to it in the next few weeks.

Headroom on the IP 40 is about 6’ 4”

Thank you for watching! Trying to share some practical information on some of these boats.

Thank you for your feedback. The boat you see on the video can be purchased at a 10% discount. With regards to the layout, builders are always trying new layouts in an attempt to appeal to different groups of sailors. This particular boat can be ordered in 12 different variations of 2 or 3 cabins. Other models or Jeanneau offer the large aft cabin with the king size centerline berth and a head. Or you could look at something like a Catalina 445 which offers a large aft cabin and a smaller cabin that is convertible to a garage. I have posted videos of that boat on this channel. My point is there is something for everyone based on your ideal boat. Thank you for watching!

It depends on the Marina. Some marinas will have a flat fee for mooring balls. Others will charge by the foot. Marina Slips (docks), are usually by the foot length of the boat. That said, recently some marinas have started charging by the size of the slip. For example, if you have a 35 ft boat, but the only slip available is for a 50 ft boat. They will rent it to you but you will have to pay as if your boat measures 50 ft long.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Thanks

Let me see if I can find one near by.

I believe it was a 2001.

Send me an e-mail I will send you the configuration sheet. This is hull 929. It was Delivered Dec 2023 for the 2024 Miami Boat Show. The new 350 is only 2 inches longer than the 349. The main change is the walkaround side decks. Also the access to the storage area is now through a larger under the seat access panel vs a hatch on the 349. You can purchase the 349 on this video with a 10% discount.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Thx 4 reply but it s too far away and too small 4 me.

@@fluffi8161 I have a 2024 410 also available at 10% Discount and a 2023 Brand New 490 available at a 15% discount. Just in case you want to reconsider. 🙂

@@JoseTorres-jn3te Thx but its too far away and i prever another modell, good luck in 2024

On Reverie it works fine with no interruptions that I have noticed. On my setup, the Nav Station is fairly close to all the outside instruments. Everything is within a 10 - 11 ft radius.

Thank you for your feedback. In doing more research, it seems the manufacturer does not publish much in terms of holding tank capacity. I was able to find the following: • Black water tank 80 L / 21 US gal, with gravity drain and deck fitting (versions A and B) • Black water tank 130 L / 34 US gal, with gravity drainand deck fitting (versions C and D). Other writings I found say it is 50 gal. Will reach out to Jeanneau to try to get a definitive answer. As far as electric consumption, I will keep that in mind for subsequent videos. Thank you for watching!

I have found it really useful to work on the amount I use in twelve hours of darkness and the most used then, before the Sun Comes up and the Solar Panels start working again- with the Wind generator often providing a healthy bonus, but with a backup generator as well. I have never exceeded 200 amps in that time- average around 140 amps tbh. But still working on 200 amps is really useful, as with a house Bank of AGM. Very high quality 4500 recharge Cycle Batteries, that means that I can easily keep them above a 20% state of discharge. Why ? Because if those AGM batteries are kept above an 80% state of discharge, and get charged back up to 100% charged asap, those 4500 Cycles Flatline, and do not get used up. That means, that barring accidents, the Service Life of those batteries should exceed Thirty Years ! It is important that the batteries have really good pure Lead plates. As an aside, a Second Bank of the most recent Lifepo4 batteries by Li Time and Power Queen, which have outstanding new BMS and the build quality to stand a 100 amp discharge and Charge rate - though Never treat them that badly - can be used to get the AGM’s back to 100% via using DC to DC chargers, while extending the Service Life of the Lifepo4 batteries whose internals have just become well up to the job. This is a very recent change via BMS hardware is a major breakthrough, and frankly a small battery bank of multiple batteries can dramatically reduce discharge and recharge loads for each individual battery, as Lifepo4 batteries hate rapid charging, and discharging them below 50% hammers their recharge Cycles. They are actually pretty sensitive to Life Shortening Treatment.,but now, it looks as though they can reach the extended Service Life that they couldn’t offer before! I’m thinking of a Bank of three Li Time Plus230 ah batteries should easily cope with the reasonable draw of 0.15 C where C is the total ah of the battery Bank and an identical charging rate keeping everything really low stressed, which formerly was very difficult and not ideal with a 12 volt system, which on boats is pretty important still - otherwise, 48 volts is wonderful onshore tbh. Sharing the loads and keeping them close, can help keep cable amperages very reasonable indeed for 22 volts. I have always liked to keep loads to about a maximum of 50% of Cable load capacity, so cables don’t even get more than slightly warm, so cable resistances never increase. Bob.🤔✨✨✨👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

Thank you for watching!

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres Ive just checked my Triton 2 in Settings and Pages and the GPS is ticked Strange but True oh well! thank you anyway like the other comment now I know I will be messing with different page options

@@sailingyachtmagnum Best of luck!

Thank you for the feedback. I made the comment that in colder climates you would use the showers. 😊

Thank you for the feedback. You would have to go to the device list on the Triton 2 and switch it so it takes the GPS information from the GPS puck instead of the Vulcan. That way it will give you GPS position without the Vulcan being on.

Sorry to hear that the Samsung Tablet did not work as good as the iPad. I have not had any problems with it and it’s stable. Just curious, is your Vulcan and your Samsung updated to the latest versions? Is tour Samsung a new tablet?

I have the same experience with all my Android devices. It's not so much the stability, but I do have an issue with image color offset. My iPad does not have this problem. B&G knows about this problem but does not help!

Not on this video. Hanse makes a wonderful boat. I’ll see if I can find one near me and I’ll do a similar video.

It saves water if you can move the shower head to the right location.😊 Interesting to hear about the cremating heads in Europe. In US you can install a Raritan system to process the waste before disposing. Have to look a little more into that.

Glad you enjoyed it! I will be doing other boats on various sizes so folks can compare.

Thank you!

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. 😀

Yes I am! The fans have worked great. A lot of times in the summer months I leave them running and use the timer to turn them off automatically. The move a lot of air and use very little power.

Thank you for watching! The tank has been holding perfectly. No issues at all.

Thank you for watching. You will need to add some weight to balance the platform so it gimbal’s properly. What I did is use a piece of PVC and added fishing weights and put a cap on each end. Then I attached it to the middle of the frame with clamps. You will have to play a little bit with it to find the right amount of weight to add and where to align it under the stove to have it be balanced. Hope this helps!

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres if you were doing it again, would you have added the weight before figuring out the balance point for the gimbal brackets

@@peterjmcgowan The trick is figuring out how much weight you need. I guess I would have added more weight than I thought I needed from the start and align it with the center of the stove.

@@HomesBoatsTravelbyJoseTorres how much did you use in the end? 1 pound? 5 pounds? 30 pounds?

I have some slabs of granite countertop from a house project, would it be nuts to throw in an 18“ x 18“ slab of granite underneath the cooktop?

Thank you for your feedback. Island Packet boats are typically more expensive than Catalina Yachts and Beneteau Yachts. While Island Packets are known for their durability and comfort, they come with a higher price tag due to their robust construction and offshore capabilities. On the other hand, Catalina Yachts and Beneteau Yachts offer a good balance of performance, comfort, and affordability, making them popular choices among sailors seeking value without compromising quality.

Not in high winds! The IP handles rough water way better. A better sea motion, better displacement ratio, and it won’t beat you up
