In almost every difficult endeavour there are numerous catastrophic failures before the final success. Great that you're looking forward to the next iteration.

Take your time on the next one, make sure you do several trials in different conditions, especially when faults arise or modifications are made. You need to be 100% confident and in the right head space before another attempt!

@Adventure101 Жыл бұрын

I will be back and am starting the design as we speak - there are always new ideas that i am going to incorporate better into V2, mainly the solar panel side, and blending in the side pods more into the design.

Thanks for the explanation.. a couple of questions though…So the water ingress caused you to turn back? In a prior video you said it was too low in the water so a cradle couldn’t be used so you lifted it out using its structure which then failed. Why didn’t you pump the water out prior to lifting so the cradle could be used? Wouldn’t the ingress be a good time to test the capability of the pump just in case it happened at sea?

@KayakFishingCorkIreland Жыл бұрын

Water ingress caused him to turn back Overnight, while it was tied to the pier, the boat filled with water and sank Because it had sunk he couldn't get the slings under the boat and lifted using the sail structure The boat has sunk so he couldn't sit in it to operate the pump. Exhausted and distressed people don't always make the best decisions.

Nearly right, i pumped out most of it, but there was still a fair amount in it, i then as you say tied to the bow eye, and rear stainless frame. One rope went, then all the weight went onto the rear frame and then that broke the frame on one side then the rope. then the drop.

Many thanks for the technical info re the mechanical failure. Good to keep us all updated.You showed great humility in admitting it was your own fault. Good luck with the project. It is exciting for almost all of us. Don't feel bad if you feel you have to abandon the project at some stage it will be very understandable. Don't feel pressurised into making a second attempt if it all becomes too much. Honesty always the best policy. Best wishes Colin Lavery SCOTLAND

Had you gone ahead with the voyage and accepted you'd have to bail water with the bilge pump I wonder how you might have thought up some method to jury rig a repair. I can visualise water coming up the shaft from the bolts threads. I can imagine sitting in the boat with an arm tired from pumping out water. Maybe it would have been impossible to fix at sea. I'm curious if anyone could fix this at sea with the little equipment you had. It would seem there's nothing else missing now. Just wait till next year and go back with the correct bolt, jump in the boat and we'll all see you in Falmouth.

Sorry about your dad and the setback. Observation: redo this indoors so that it can be heard more clearly. You tend to clip off the ends of your words when you speak rapidly. That, and the wind, make this very difficult to understand. Good luck on the new boat design.

The vessel was dropped onto the quayside. Even if the reason for needing to lift it from the water was obvious, the dropping wasn’t down to you. Insurance claim on the crane company?

Further to my previous comment (a few minutes ago).... Very sorry to hear about your dad's passing.😢 With regard to the previous smallest boat crossing, why not use the same (proved) design and just chop off the nominal 40cm or so off it. With possibly a little tweaking to the new shorter boat ? Colin L SCOTLAND

@@Adventure101 wow thats a impressive resume.. We are just concerned for your safety.. I appreciate a self made self motivated man.. But the real taje away for you is the wind noise in the vids.. you need to have the camera close to you in order to pick up your voice and not just wind..Go back and honestly listen to your videos..In almost all your outdoor videos you cant hear anything you are saying due to wind noise. no need for a wireless mic if thats out of your wheelhouse (pun intended) , just dont put the camera so far away from you out doors.. What kind of vessels were you sailing for your other solo ventures ?? I live up in Canada where this young man and his father did a Canoe trip down to South America from here. "On June 1, 1980, Don Starkell and his two sons, Dana and Jeff, set out on a 12000-mile canoe voyage from their home in Winnipeg, Manitoba".. pretty ballsy stuff.. I am not unaware of extreme sporting stuff.. I dont think you would have survived in that vessel against the Atlantic open ocean.. Nobody wants to see you get hurt. Cant stop you but at the very least I would like to hear you speak when you speak as I am interested in what you have to say.. Take care my explorer friend. Remember that exploration to the north of Canada back in the day that they tried to do with a hot air balloon ?? Didnt end well but they had the bug and no one could tell them any different..

Wait... you thought an O-ring could seal against a *_threaded_* shaft? Please, before you make another attempt at something like this, have the detailed plans _thoroughly_ vetted by a qualified engineer. How many other faux paus might have been lurking beneath the skin of your boat?
