Are they still working?

I would have thrown that chain away for years goo, bur im impressed with the Mantus Swivel

Thanks guys!!

Thanks! Good job!

I have been sailing for 48 years and have never head of a GOOD swivel breaking….

I've got a Boston Whaler Inflatable needing a patch or two. Great video, thanks!

I like the way you get to the point and can't believe your followup after a year. fantastic.

Great info/ tks

You are not meant to run a a swivel directly to the anchor, you need chain link between. This is why this method doesnt work...

Instead of retracting or removing, it would probably be possible to have a bow sprite pivot to the side seeing a cat is so wide.

brother the best is Bengar Lonako

What are the minimum requirements for the Ipad/tablet? Memory? Do older generations work with Naviotics?

Rainmakers are expensive plus they take up a lot of space

It is great headlamp till it’s battery dies ….then it is useless

where is the shade for $243.

My biggest complain about Victron... There should be an online convertor or a native Mac OS app. I can't believe Victron is closing ears on this problem for that long. My solution is; remote connect a Windows pc to use ve configuration tools. Then upload new updated settings with Cerbo GX to MultiPlus... And it's a pain in the a..

Thanks for the password!! Could not change settings by typing them in but I could use the + & - and it sSAVED COME ON.

I used Navionics on an android with my pontoon boat on long river trips or the ICW and it worked fine. I still use it from time to time on my John boat when going deep in the back waters. Navionics has raised their yearly renewal price from $25 to $50 but if you are out a lot is worth it. Just be very careful....if you are putting Navionics on an android, you download from the internet. Do not go buy the chip at a marine store. The chips are for the chart plotters only.

Good stuff! How did they hold up? Greetings from NYC!

It's the zinc with which the chain is galvanised which would 'disappear'

Thanks for the video. Researching anchor swivels and your experience is great to see. Not sure if you are aware of Tef-Gel but it's an amazing stainless antigalling and anti corroision lubricant. I use tef-gel liberally. I kept thinking as you were pulling the teflon tape off how I would have just coated all the surfaces with tef-gel. Admittedly the teflon tape doesn't get all over your hands like a paste but that's not an issue, right? ha you got a new subscriber.

I kept waiting for the bushing or washers to fall off but the grease must have been holding them in place. I guess that is one reason to goop the heck out of it like you did!

did you say it is a "life proof nude case"? or new case?

Maybe putting the 6 to 1 on the side with the ENGINE? Heavier side. 5 to 1 on the BOW side...lighter side. Nice design. I try to use an ELECTRIC winch when available to assist.

I have a Mac and have gone on VictronConnect on my MacBook Pro, it doesn’t show any enable settings? Everybody keeps telling me you can change things, but I do not see enable settings anywhere??? 😩

I love the idea of this video! I know it's a lot more work and camera setups, but you could add one or two other views 'picture in picture' maybe one of your helm and another off the stern or something that would be way cool... Just a thought👍

My multiplus WILL NOT show up on my MacBook air. I spent 4 hours today and it will not show up using this. I'm so frustrated.

With such certainty only made by experience!

It has been a while ago, when you placed this video here. I hope you can answer my question..... can you tell me where you bought this PM DC motor/generator? A shop who delivers or a company who produces these motors? Thanks for your help!

Hey guys - great videos! I have attempted to follow your links to the amazon Lifeproof Nuud case but doesn't seem to be available....Any ideas! Thanks!

I just watched this video and what poor show. Don't read the instructions and do everything incorrectly. Partially inflate the tubes to stretch out the wrinkles makes it easier to install the floor. The keel is the last tube inflated. The side tubes need to be partially inflated to at most 1psi in all tubes before fully inflating so that you do not blow out the interior baffles. I know that you are trying to look cute and clever by not reading the instructions, but it just makes you look ignorant.

Nice video! What is the knot on the red/grey dyneema covers on the bottom eyelids? Would really appreciate a video about how to tie them :)

Hi , I know this was from a long time ago but do you happen to remember what propeller you used ? and did you ever measure how fast it would spin ?

These are good nav lights. If they had a usb rechargable battery pack they would have been perfect. I use them on a 12 ft ab. I used a go pro mount stuck to the engine cowl for my stern and the tri color at the bow. They get frequent use the batteries last long enough and they are well built. After about 3 years use the stern light cuts out with the shock from the chop. I fixed it with some cardboard shims.

Its almost impossible to sail in northern regions, Temperature can change more than 10c in a day and it can get to negative temperatures and no time to adjust tension. I never seen any monohull went to Svalbard or Greenland using dyneema. BUT in milk run it is much better than steel

I would have thought you would get more corrosion on the first link. So this was very informative. That corroded chain is toast. I assume you got rid of it by now. You have to re-galvanize your chain from time to time before it gets that bad. It looks like your anchor is corroding just a bit near the stainless shackle. But the anchor is pretty thick so maybe not much of a concern.

Thanks for your video... I too use ipad for navigation and i was wondering if you have found a case that provide a waterproof connection for the power cord?

Hi Billy, I’m going to put this up in the office waiting room. Ken H.

Hi guys, I love your channel and really looking forward to seeing what your new boat can do. from watching this video. It looks like you’re sailing way too deep. May I suggest that you set a waypoint up ahead and then sail to the apparent wind with the Spinnaker tack in the centre and keep your eye on the VMG and try sailing with the apparent wind at about 90 to 100°. When you point up a bit you’ll gain speed and as your speed builds the apparent wind or come forward and you’ll be away and be heading the same direction but a lot faster, and then you’ll see, even though you cover more distance your VMG will show that you are getting to your waypoint faster. It takes some practice, but it’s a lot of fun, but generally on a catamaran, trying to sail to deep is just a slow way of getting from A to B and it’s hard on your sails. Cheers Rustie.

Hi can you upload a video of the generator working?

This was SUPER helpful! I have a 1966 Islander 29 with a Colligo deadeye on a dyneema backstay. It hadn’t been touched in years and had stretched/crept enough that the mast had lost any prebend and was slightly inverted. I couldn’t find any instruction (or even a clue) how to retension it until I found your video. I actually was waiting for a rigger to get back to me. I followed your instructions and knocked it out in under an hour. HUGE thanks! The rig looks great!

Thanks for sharing!! I was getting ready to buy a pc just to change my battery settings to lithium.

I'm going this route. Wondering if s sim card loaded with store bought information could be used? Anyone

Sold... I was about to start making some soft shackles and realized that not of my scissors not knives would get through the dyneema. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Billy! How did you find this builder who works with you? I remember years ago when you toured a big Tahitian catamaran. Very cool. KH.

Had one of the lights for my kayak. Used it 5 times and it would no longer work. I emailed the company and they did nothing. I highly don’t recommend.

Poblem is that this glue doesnt have a long shelf life, so when you need ot on Mexico, youre screwed.

This poor neglected channel. Can't have been to impressive, haven't seen one on any of your boats.

STILL DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS?? And You Are a MAC USER!!!!!!!!!!!! THUMBS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously? you discovered the block? WOW
