Hello Seaplorers of Vela Nautica
In this episode we sailed first time long distance since Vela Nautica got her refit.
Unfortunately it was very rough and we encountered a storm.
The tidal currents and the continental shelf in the bay of Cadiz made sailing very uncomfortable.
Vela Nautica was thrown by crossing confused seas and overcoming waves.
It became even more diffcult as more and more traffic came up over night and made navigating more tireing.
It was not a fun sailing at all, but what they say is YOU ARE NOT A SAILOR IF YOU ONLY SAILED IN A CALM DAY.
We where bound for Gibraltar, while considering to search shelter in the closer harbour of Cadiz we decided
to go on and head for Gibraltar as we visited Cadiz before.
And as always after rain there is sunshine and we droped anchor in sunny conditions under the ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.

Uhh thanks it takes a lot every day work to keep her up and ship shape but in our eyes it pays when all systems just work. Things also last longer when keept in good shape and clean.

Forgive me for asking .. Are you supposed to leave your sail fully extended in a storm? I don’t sail so I was curious

@barrydavies2977 2 жыл бұрын

I couldn't get a good look at the sails, but they looked deeply reefed to me. So appropriate to the conditions.

Hi Oliver, why are your B & G instrument gauges covered? Teun

@svvelanautica2374 4 жыл бұрын

Hello Teun, these covered analog instruments are from our previous B&G Hydra 2000 installation that was based on NMEA0183. When the Hydra started to fail because of faulty capacitors when the age was 10 years +, we replaced this system with a B&G NMEA 2000 installation with Triton 2 digital instrument and Vulcan chart plotter. These new instruments show all what we need. But I liked the analog displays and as there was no need to remouve them to gain space I started designing a NMEA2000 controller to integrate the analog instruments in the new system. As this is not finished jet I coverd them.

@teunisbaas8888 4 жыл бұрын

SV Vela Nautica Oliver, thanks for reply. All clear - I changed in 2018 all my FURUNO equipment (in perfect condition but absolutely an electricity hog) for B & G. Can I communicate with you via Email as you have done/are doing several things on your A54 which I am considering as well. My original owner also changed in 2015 to lithium in NZ bu they didn’t change the VICTRON 5000 charging settings and all the batteries had to be replaced in 2017 and he used AGM’s. But I am considering again going to Lithium. My Email is teun@amelit.net

I know the video never shows exactly how rough it was but 30+ knots can be pretty challenging. I did notice your autopilot wasn't moving much... I've done about 8000 miles in Super Maramu up and down the east coast of the US to the Caribbean and their autopilots move 2-3 times as much. I'm guessing that the motion on the 54 is just a bit better from a yawing perspective due to the wider stern. I am going to buy a 54 but haven't sailed one yet. You were able to put up the Staysail which would have helped somewhat.. although it didn't occur to me that you have to leave the cockpit to set it up (and bring back the stays). Can this be done before you leave the harbour while you are still sailing on the big Genoa? I really love your arch... way nicer than the Emek or Atlantic Arch ones... It looks very sturdy... does it move much? You were able to put 700W of solar on it?

@svvelanautica2374 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, Yes we got 750W of solar power on the arch. There is not the slightest shiver in this solid arch. The design is computer anaysed by fenite elements simulations aginst all kind of possible wave loads. The design finds a lot of admirers on every anchorage. When we left i did not calculate that we will get this bad weather. But now I always set the backstays in place when we go out. They can just stay in place even when the Jib is used. One hint: dont overtighten the backstays, they start to swing like guitar strings. its just enough to set them by hand before the staysail is pulled out. and give them a minimal tightness by winch. The AMEL 54 is a boat like on tracks in whatever conditions. I says this now after crossing the Atlantic, its imporant to balance the pressure point of the sails and the autopilot does not need to doo much. fair winds Oliver
