Hello Koon Wei, Thank you for this fantastic adventure! I also own a Tandem Island which we sail in the US Great Lakes, Atlantic and Florida Keys. I mostly live in South Africa where we have warm weather like you do. I loved your musical choices for this video. So sorry about your battery and gear. The salty sea is a tough mistress! I salute your great adventure. It is amazing how quickly you took that water aboard, and also how you were able to make headway with the mirage drive despite all the water you took in your main hull. I think the surf board also helped your flotation along with the amas and akas. How does your jib perform? Its great to have somebody else to adventure with on another Tandem Island like you have. I usually go with one of my sons. If you ever are in the US I would love to sail with you! Keep up the great video and hope you and your friend will have another chance to make it out. I loved how you ate your provisions the next couple of days and how you were able to chow the noodles and make your cofffee when you finally made shore. Kind regards, Rick Gutierrez

Dear Rick, many thanks for your kind words and encouragement. I made some enhancement to reduce water seepage via the hatches. I love to head back to sea which I havent done for more than a year. Maybe next month I will have a break. The jib is good but the fur-roller need more reinforcements and probably need a line through the mast rotator towards the rear rudder to avoid entanglement when I fur the main sail. By the way, I have a friend with the same last name. He was from the Philippines. If I ever have a chance to visit South Africa or the Florida keys, I’ll buzz you 😂.

You had too much stuff on that thing, including solar panels - useless where there is no clear sky. Replace those and the motor with a good paddle or set of oars!

@@koonweing, you must have had good reasons to take everything with you. By comparison, I had less stuff in my boat - while I had everything I needed - during my 8-week rowing trip a few years ago. Did you lose anything? What was the cost of the damage? Such trips are great because they teach you what you can learn in absolutely no other way.

@koonweing Жыл бұрын

Hardshell usually more efficient and hardy. Inflatable is probably good for shorter distance or as lifeboat. I like inflatable for the lightweight and convenience.

@fuleinist Жыл бұрын

@@koonweing thx for the reply, yes the inflatable may be deflated overtime while the 12v pumps are just getting smaller enough to be used while traveling. Then you could have all of the benefit of the inflatables without it's biggest con 😁

@dubab.249 Жыл бұрын

So many solar collectors? You also get electricity with a water turbine, you raise the sails, on the side of the blade they turn a small 12 v alternator. Kayak drilled like Swiss cheese, some parts in the kayak are filled with pure foam... Today, the Chinese produce all kinds of electronics... This is expensive, stupid, frivolous.

Love the TI sail. Looks like a fun time for all. Those currents can be tricky, especially if the wind and the currents are against you. I sail my TI in tidal waters with moderate to strong currents. I added an outboard... a big help in tough currents or head winds. Love seeing Singapore again. Keep the TI sails and videos coming!⛵⛵⛵

Tower makes a 14ft inflatable SUP that holds 700lbs...thats what I thought you were using since it looks identical but I was wrong. I easily take 500lbs out, its true to that weight. Max load was 3 people, 1 led battery, and a trolling motor lol and that was without stabilizers...

What's the brand of those pontoons with the fabric decking?

@vinny8532 2 жыл бұрын

So my setup currently is similar to this, but I have your paddleboard (same manufacturer) as the center component, a second BOTE SUP board with a peddle drive, and a side pontoon that is severely undersized judging from after seeing your video. I can max out at a 100lb thrust trolling motor and am trying to upgrade to a 48W electric outboard soon. The trimaran concept is awesome...did you find any issues with having your inflatable SUP as a side pontoon and not being symmetrical / equivalent to the actual side pontoon on the other side? Also curious to see if you have any advice on securing both SUPs together, since currently anything is an upgrade from bungie cords. Cheers and good luck out there!

@vinny8532 2 жыл бұрын

I instantly had respect for your setup when I saw one of the other videos showing the paddleboard instead of pontoon / outboard stabilizer. That thing is a beast....I know the original manufacturer and the limit on those boards are 700lbs, basically making it one of the best bang/buck in terms of dollars per pound of storage. I've currently branching out my setup to look something like this...somehow I stumbled upon it. Definitely learned some things, the sailboat decking with the fabric is a great idea. awesome stuff hope to see more

Some leakage of a heavily weighted TI can occur throught the rear rudder cord holes. It's hard to seal those completely without restricting the cords.

@koonweing 2 жыл бұрын

I thought so too but water leak from rudder cords doesnt appear significant during the test. But during rough conditions I cant say I am 100% sure that is not a contributing factor.
