Chomp! Chomp! Hope she liked the book :)

Another great video!!!!! Always nerve racking having boats dragging around you.

An amazing adventure with your beautiful family.

100% solar……plus 2 diesel engines.

imagine that happening at night offshore! well handled!

Still need food and water.

Respect. Real. Adventure. Excellent. (Greetings from Buffalo and Point Abino)

Watch out for pirates. I was at C.G. Base Miami in 77-78, after 74-76 at Petaluma CA. There were occassional yachts found savaged, with human blood evidence. Convoys are safer.

Awsome boat!

Bonjours, Is that a rugged water resistant tablet I saw at your helm? If so where did you get it? we are ;looking for one or two for our sailboat Merci

I watch Wave Rover on his channel!!

you want gutters.... You need to collect that water!

As a father of five and grandfather of one (so far) I enjoyed watching y'all with your children! Best wishes❤️

Beautiful scenery almost like the Netherlands with the newer buildings. Good job I. showing that❤😅⛵️🏝❤

To cure small fractures and rivelets of water and around hatches, skylightsstanchion bases, etc., try Captain Tolleys Crack Cure. It works by capillary action. The liquid is drawn into invisable fractures in the sealant and solidifies. I have used it for years with amazing results. Alan J. S/V Skol Catalina 400

This was a great video, and Cory sometimes swearing leads to Brilliance, I am sure you will get all those pesky leaks repaired after all its like everything else just when you think your all set more work shows it self. till next week have agreat sail.

An interesting place to get stuck- near the Statue of Liberty, just before the ocean- but tough days here. I think anyone can imagine the frustration with the leaks, knowing you've been working on them since the day you got the boat. If you ever solve this riddle, we'd love to hear how you did it. Kudos for helping the distressed boat. Sounds like the next day will be a big one.

👍👍👍

What do you do if your engine/motor fails?

I would love to have a cat like this awesome

One rogue wave and it is gone . Along with the rest of the boat..

I have never seen a 2-blade propeller on any boat. And torque is relatively irrelevant on a boat. Torque is what gets a dragster down a dragstrip fast. So now you have all the complication of two diesel engines, plus all the complication of all the solar/electric equipment as well. I'm sorry, but that just seems nutty.

20 miles a day! Yeah ...... most boat people would not be happy with that. And here's the problem, when you've done that distance and you've drained your batteries and the Sun is going down. Then you've got night time, so no charge. And then you wake up with a bunch of drained batteries, so you can't move until you've charged your batteries. If only there were a way of moving the boat across the water using the wind.

0:25-30. "...former educator..." The glasses gave me a hint i tried to ignore, but the "educator" couldn't be overlooked. Probable a "college" degree, ... or two, ......or three. "Academia"... ☆

"100% Solar Electric Catamaran" this is not true. @ 5:57 he states that he has 2 diesel generators "for backup or cruising 24 hours a day". Earlier in the video he states that the boat is set up to "island hop 20 miles a day" on solar/battery power.

I'm surprised that there are no sales.

Big diesel engine on board so no, it's not 100% solar.

Awesome boat, love all theheart and engineering you and you wife put into the boat. Wonder if they're looking at Starlink, it would be a useful addition for emergencies at least.

Cool

Nice!

Well done.

what about pirates?

Electric boats should be the default form of propulsion for leisure craft like cats where they have plenty of space for solar & battery. If there is an engine at all, it can be small in-line one to charge the battery or drive the motor in exceptional circumstances.

5:49 - so they have a Diesel Generator Engine.... so this is not a 100% Solar Boat... its just a gimmick... you are still relying on Fossil Fuels as the primary back up because Solar is useless and unreliable.

Amazing example of what is possible. if you replace the solar with modern ones you should get like 35% more electricity. They did some breakthrough on solar cells in the last months - which should be soon in production. If you are lucky and Avalanche works out (a company) then you can take this whole setup, scrap it and put an Orbitron on each side of the hull and have more power, 24/7 and can run the engines full power as they together give you 30kw++ (I hear designs up to 100kw each are being worked on for a unit small enough to fit on a desk)) using ridiculous amounts of fuel (100kW, 24/h is around 0.2 GRAMS). Until then - AMAZING thing.

Thats an epic setup!

The Bronx zoo looks amazing. What a fun adventure

One day those solar panels will need replacing same with the batteries and the wiring, so is it really worth it? I'd rather have the sails and the engines lol

Lovely setup. I would have Most certainly put more powerful motors in, not for speed so much, but to be able to get out of a spot of bother. - such as: Being able to steer the boat in strong winds and go against a strong wind. (to be able to relocate or even allow yourself to have another chance at getting a good anchorage) Having an over specified motor has literally saved the lives of our family a good handful of times. Enjoy your boat, would love to have done a build like this <3

I was given a shurflo pump from an RV owner who obviously had problems with it. I fitted it to my RV I have just converted from a standard van. The pump worked fine the first trip but just played up a day ago when camping. If I pushed the fitting going into the switch it would work but stop if I took the pressure off. I removed the pump and cleaned the switch terminals and replaced. It worked at first then stopped again. I removed it again and took out the switch and tested it and it seemed ok but drilled out the rivet so haven’t cleaned the switch contacts as yet. I think I will replace the terminals on the wires to make sure it has 100% contact. Let’s hope this will fix the problem! Next day…. I checked the switch contacts which were a bit burnt and dirty so gently cleaned the surfaces with a thin mini file until clean and cut old terminals off wires and crimped on new fittings and reassembled and refitted and it now seems to be working perfectly. 😀

The battery capacity seems a "tad" low.

You should add a couple of wind turbines if they are well battened down for wind

Another fun episode. We really enjoy your channel, and your family adventures

⛵⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ABSOLUTELY a great video everything was spot on, realy enjoyed the Zoo so glad you had great time. till Next video Safe Sailing.

Beautiful family, thank you so much for sharing.

Cory acting like he wasn’t checking out the hot chick in the white boots 🤣

👍👍👍

Wow, I have missed s few episodes, I will have to go back and watch 🎉. Your children are growing so incredibly fast, you are fantastic parents providing such an amazing experience for your family and all of us, thank you 🙏
