Guys. We’ve got the same boat as you. Same age too. We also had a slow sea water leak. We searched and searched for it. We had engineers on board. They couldn’t find it. No water came in over the winter when we left our boat in a marina. Eventually a young mechanic discovered that we had a hole in our exhaust which was pushing water into the starboard lazzarette and from there, it was overflowing into the engine bay. We replaced the hose, €600, and have no more sea water leakage. Great videos. Love this channel.

One thing to check as a Beneteau owner and a flaw on all Beneteaus is the shaft tube . Where the tube exits the skeg Beneteau puts a bead of 5200 . When this bead fails and it happened to me and hundreds of others , water runs in on the outside of the tube and comes up thru cracks . Beneteau puts tube in place and pours resin to fill skeg and hold tube ,as it cools cracks in resin develop. Many have had water and could not find source and this was it . I glassed my tube ( mine is fiberglass not stainless)and glassed over the small cracks on the inside under fuel tank in rear berth

That sounds scary to encounter that hidden kind of leak when you are DAYS away from landfall. I was betting it was due to a loose hose clamp around some water inlet or pump hose. Seen that too many times.

Dire emergencies are usually a combination of several small mistakes or multiple smaller problems. You three avoided this situation by good planning and problem solving. If you had lost the autopilot in the first week and hadn't been able to repair the main sail the first time and if the water leak is engine/prop shaft related and you hadn't waited for a good weather window or you had opted for a more northerly faster route then your passage may have been a disaster. You fixed the hydraulic leek in the autopilot in good weather, you found an alternative to hydraulic oil, you had the supplies to repair the main sail the first time etc. You solved the lesser issues so they didn't build into a disaster, well done all three of you and remember Douglas Adams advice from "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Don't Panic!

"Lots of excitement!" Nothing like an explosion decompression at FL 430, to be sure, but still it's a serious issue, and you all handled it well. :) As for sails, spares are good. An old sailor and former U.S. Naval Officer put it like this: Murphy's law: No matter how many other sails you have, carry both a spare for your main as well as a small spare staysail you can set farther back on the boat for balance sailing with a reefed main in heavier wind conditions. Your spares should be tried and true sails, tested at sea, but never older, worn-out sails. As time goes on, you can cycle them into primary use after you've tested and stored their replacements.

@joelagoe338 Жыл бұрын

The shaft tube leak thru the transom seems to affect all Beneteau sailboats. A quick fix is to clean the area where the shaft tube comes out of the transom, reseal the joint (5200, etc.), then slide a stainless steel collar down the tube, pressed against the freshly sealed joint, then tighten the collar. It will help protect the totally exposed sealant. I did this a year ago and hope to get at least 3-4 years this way. And it’s easy to check/replace any time you pull the boat out.

When I have found water in the bilge - without any obvious source - my priority checks are, 1. thru hulls, 2. stuffing box (when shaft is spinning it might be leaking a lot even though it is tight when not spinning, or the opposite), 3. wet exhaust (all of it from heat exchanger to outlet), 4. bilge pumps and hoses (both when off and while running), 5. anchor locker. After that, if I haven't found anything leaking I just dry everything out and put paper around the bilge (to identify wet spots to help find the leak-if any). Two common, but neglected, sources of seawater in the bilge while on passage are A. deck leaks, mostly from spray or green water but even rainwater will be salty after hitting the deck, and B. overflow from seawater ingress into the anchor locker. - - Glad you are safely in port. Keep having fun. I have enjoyed catching your daily reports while underway!

Mainsail - sandwich the remaining corner in between two pieces of plywood and throw as many screws in as you can from both sides - add Gflex if you have it too (can’t hurt). Depending on size of wood, bore a large diameter hole for lashing, or simply wrap the whole thing, best to lash to D ring if you have one. - will get you going again in normal winds. - can always put up your trysail too, tiny but better than nothing.

@MrAlexMorgan Жыл бұрын

That is a very easy fix on the sail, using a marlinspike, and lacing needle attach a webbing strap to the clew.. Now is the time to do it while there is no wind. You won't have to remove the sail!. Jade already did a great job repairing the tack!

@chrispomfret8592 Жыл бұрын

Hi Team Eva! After seeing the clew webbing close up I’d say the webbing was sunburnt. If you are looking at a new mainsail I would strongly suggest removing the in mast furler, putting a Harken or similar track up the mast with ball bearing cars on the mainsail luff. A mainsail with full length battens and three reefs is a far better option than what you have. You’ll get a far superior sail shape, more sail area due to a proper leach profile and you’ll sail so much faster. Even better it will be quieter on anchor. A boom bag with Jack lines will make sail control easier and no sunburn. This is critical in areas like Northern Australia with our extreme UV. If your budget won’t stretch yet just repair and wait a few months. Either way that mainsail could be retro fitted as a spare. Don’t forget to check your headsail webbing now. Good job on your crossing! Iona can’t leave now she has done 17 or so episodes now you know!

I think the first thing to check would be the stuffing box/packing gland around the shaft where it goes through the shaft tube. It seems you had no problem until you were running the engine. These are supposed to weep a bit to allow a bit of cooling (except for fancy dripless ones), but it looks like it could stand to be repacked or replaced.

Brett, you need proper sail makers fids - rope and wire - a sail maker's palm that allows you to drive sail maker's needles (three cornered) through a number of layers of sail cloth a clews. You also need dacron tape / bees wax to lubricate your sail maker's thread while sewing and making repairs. Then this repair of you main sail clew would be easy to do. You also need a book of proper sail making and sail repairs.

With a Hydraulic leak , you should always make a tupperware " catch " so you can keep pouring back in the fluid that leaks out. That is your ' endless ' supply.

@clark7117 Ай бұрын

I must respectfully point out what appears to be a clear case of, nope. Key safety components such as a surplus of hydraulics, oil, and rigging are crucial and should have been thoroughly checked before setting sail. Additionally, the significant corrosion observed on the boom/vang is concerning and should have prompted a full inspection of the entire vessel, including the sails, similar to the routine checks one would perform on a car before a long road trip. It's essential to ensure that all necessary supplies like extra engine oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, and water are onboard, along with winter-specific items such as blankets and other emergency gear. Moreover, they were fortunate to avoid the storm that was tracking them. It's crucial to acknowledge that sea weather can shift unpredictably and beyond the scope of modern forecasting technologies. I mean no disrespect to Jade and Brett, but it's important to recognize that their situation was not solely mitigated by resourcefulness. Believing so might lead to overconfidence. A healthy respect for the sea and your sailing vessel is necessary because, as many experienced sailors know, the sea has a way of challenging even the most seasoned among us. Never for a second believe that you control the sea.

A slow ingress of sea water sounds like a pipe clamp is slightly loose - much like your steering fluid leak. What is worst is that such a leak only presents itself when the "hose" with the leaky clamp is under pressure, the rest of the time it presents itself like a very slow drip (or a few drops). Turn on a pump and clamp leaksz turn off pump and leak goes AWAY! The best way to find such a leak is dabbing each hose end with a dry paper towel. A good form of protection is to use TWO Clamps at each hose end throughout the boat. EXPENSIVE option but small insurance on long passages, especially on hoses or inlets you can NOT reach easily.

Breaks your heart? WHO do you think is paying them? The audience viewership. By letting the videos run long, showing mistakes and engaging with criticism, they have grown their viewership. No one is knocking on Brett & Jade's door and unloading on them. This is fair play.

Great job handling your issues. Never going to be able to predict the future but handling issues calmly is the key.

Like everyone else, my wife and I LOVED this series. Great story-telling. It was a really immersive sort of experience. I felt like you'd brought me along. You should be very proud of yourselves for both the trip, *AND* the videos. Personally, I'm deeply, deeply impressed with the way you handled the various issues, with the autopilot, the sails, the water; calmly, carefully, rationally. Welcome to the Azores!
