Hope your trip and license go well,look forward to that.Liked and thanks as always Nick..

Very interesting. Thank you. A nice boat! Cheers James

Interesting video, I use the tablet dehumidifier too , but also the wardrobe hanging ones that work well to keep clothes dry, they’re readily available on Amazon. The boat’s looking amazing, all your hard work is paying dividends. Thank you for the updates.

Liked and thanks as always Nick..

Hi Nick, (new follower to your channel). Your first family sail looked very pleasant. At least you got a decent weather window. So far the summer has spring/ summer has been very poor and unpredictable. Just watched a couple of your other videos. Very informative. Look forward to sailing adventures. Fair winds. ⛵️👍

You lot looked happy as Larry on there. Will done, no reverse crashes either is always a bonus😂🎉

All I can think of is with 3 females, do you ever get into the bathroom in the morning? I only had 2 & was in the yard more often than not....

Nice little sail out with the family, sounds a bit windy and hope it was not too cold for summer.... 😎⛵

What a way to spend a day… looking forward to many more sailing trips. 😊

Nothing better! Well, maybe a long bike trip perhaps. Boat looks immaculate! Great job!

What a great way to spend a day-out with the family. Quiet and peaceful, great scenery and plenty of fresh air. The yacht looks to be handling well and looks immaculate.

Hi Nick saw you out today I was out too had a great sail around H2 then Lune Cardinal back around F 4 and back into the marina these buoy s are on the chart should be easily spotted. Are you staying onboard, I am going out tomorrow light wind. Mike (Pagets Lady Westerly Corsair 36’

Nick you need a Smart BMV to get all battery details including engine battery

Hi Nick this is Mike we just met in the fish dock, I think you said somewhere that your charger doesn’t show the engine battery voltage, your charger should be connected to the engine battery if it has a terminal for both banks. Hope to see you out sailing soon. Mike

Looks so relaxing thank you for the insight

Questtion on this MPPT controller. I hae 2 house to start batteries on my boat. Got to the boat and app said they were floating. Showed 20v from 2 100 watt panels 0 amps. When my boat is running my battery monitor shows -1.59 amp draw? Why? The voltage is 14.8 from motors. Shunt is installed correct to a neg bus bar. All house loads are off during readings. This also has a ACR

She certainly makes use of every space available Nick,liked and thanks as always....

What do you think about the "wings" created on the terminals produced by the crimper?

What a sterling job.. 😊

Hi I’ve just found your channel I see your wind masthead unit is on the pushpit do you still have a good reading with it there, only asking I’m doing up a sailing boat without any wind instruments and was thinking of using a weather station on the pushpit. Thanks steve

Good start. Not enough for me but it gets you places. Definitely go for lithium, they charge faster, are lighter, hold more power and last longer. Totally worth it!

Liked and thanks as always Nick..

They are so handy. I just got the Aferiy 2400w for mine and other things…

Cracking little channel on boats that I never thought I would enjoy but loving it so far 👍

First World problems?.....🤔 How do I provide enough power on this 'old girl' to enable 3 ladies to blow dry their hair, have hot showers, have enough lighting, have TV, music, etc etc etc.....I've stayed on Liveaboard dive boats in the Red Sea since the early '90's to top of the range air conditioned all mod cons around 2008.... I know which I remember the most. It makes you wonder how the guy that originally purchased that beautiful boat coped don't you think? I'm enjoying the sailing more than tne bikes 😲 There, I've said it🙂

Must save you a lot being able to do all these jobs yourself Nick,impressive ...liked and thanks as always..

Happy sailing, Nick, the boat looks amazing, looking forward to following your voyages. Will you be staying around the British Isles, or venturing further afield?

Hello- I hope you don’t mind me asking what brand is the cockpit table?

What is your most ambitious voyage that you have in mind to do at some point?

Well done Captain Nick. ⛵👏👏

It's looking good Nick and ready for a voyage..

Excellent job!

disappointed you didnt record from Pwllheli through Bardsey sound, round south stack into Holyhead. Two tricky areas to navigate!

Really enjoying the channel Nick ,liked and thanks as always..

Dang, Nick. You are doing an incredible job. Your boat is beautiful. You even sanded the edges of those teak boards and they looked as if they were new.

Looking much more ship-shape now. Great video, thank you .

Thanks 👍🏻 shame I missed you when you first purchased her, I’m just down the Haven @ Neyland!! Fellow biker (Ktm 1290 S/Adv) also recently did my day skipper/sail…. Loving what your doing 🤩

Looking smart as… great job with the teak (what are you using to deoxidise the gel coat prior to polishing)?

Liked and thanks as always Nick...

The wing nuts are an upgrade so it’s easy in a seaway to change the impeller

just found the channel great few episodes , i moved to wales 6 years ago and i still cant say Pwlheli correct but here it is puh -theh -lee

Good job and she is slowly looking like a new pin. The overheating as you say could have been a stuck thermostat so great idea to replace that. Also, the sender unit maybe giving a false reading so again a good idea the change that too. I am not sure about boat engines, but if it has some form of radiator then maybe over time they become clogged and need draining or flushing through. The outside is looking much better and I was about to suggest using an electric sander but in the next caption you already had one. 😂 Keep up the good work Nick. 👍

Looking forward to following your adventures. My daughter lives at that marina you couldn’t pronounce 😂 she is a sailing instructor up there. Good luck with the gorgeous yacht 👍

Teak looks much better! I'm guessing he painted it so it became maintenance free??

Hate to say but 9 time out of 10 it will be the heat exchanger....if the 2030 has rubber end caps it's fairly easy to access. Good to see another skint man like me... I have a 2022 Bonne Black tiger 800 and Najad 373.... you cant take money with you can you.

Your experience and knowledge is priceless. Speaking as a complete novice, this is all fascinating.Cant wait for your future episodes.

Might have to unsubscribe. Getting the itch for this with 3 bikes in the garage, I don’t think I can afford a boat 😢

Interesting video nick, the boat or is it yacht is looking very nice, thanks for posting.

Just brilliant 👍

@Sailing Sea Star a comment from your last video... Your "first sail boat", single handed? This should be interesting .... You may have never 'owned' a sailing yacht, but it doesn't look like it's your 'first rodeo' if I'm honest. 😉 Here's a prediction...After a few sunny weekends in the right locations on the boat, the girls will never be nagging you to ride on the pillion ever again...just sayin...🤣 Interested to know why you chose a sailing yacht instead of a motorised yacht given your previous experience? Will you be teaching your girls to dive? Now, that would be interesting viewing for me.....(Divemaster since 1996)
