@flyingfox10001 10 күн бұрын
I see no real reason why they could not tie the mast on the deck securely enough instead of scrapping it! I really think most people need a few hundred hours on an appropriate fishing vessel learning how to do things correctly and in a way that is strong or appropriate for the situation. Too many people relying on the flimsy and not suitable things when on any ocean let alone any waterway! Basically they wait to retire with money and buy a boat to get on the water and in people’s way! Like put the fish in that crate to stop it from getting away! Really! You would have more hope of the fish fixing the generator than anything else!

We think they are on the way back to Sweden , Iknow they were disappointed not to make the crossing. The rigging that failed was new 2 months prior and I think it was caused by a small component fail. The boat itself was well capable of making the crossing. My bucket list keeps growing … Our boats big enough for the two of us to run but agree would be nice to have a bigger one …👍😎

Just an FYI tip about generators in general. I know nothing about your set up but generally speaking, when a gen is not producing power, (after checking all the obvious causes) it's possible it has lost its polarity. Sometimes, starting a gen set when it is IN or UNDER "load" configuration, will repolarize the unit.
@Aequitas-sailintothesunset 23 күн бұрын
Hi William Yes I’ve heard of that affecting alternators , but never experienced it . Our Generator has a system that allows motor to crank , start ,and then about 30 seconds later allows system to slowly raise the generator output . You can see it climb up on the charge amp dial . Your also supposed to switch of the charge load allow a few seconds for engine to adjust and then shut down the engine .

Several ways to stun fish , unfortunately we had all other crew involved in hauling down our spinnaker so nobody to go bellow to get alcohol, and we’re not prepared fair comment . Once secured onboard I did stun the fish, and dispatch with a cut to the spine. Other alternatives are to use alcohol in the gills .

@@Aequitas-sailintothesunset Thanks for your answer. Ok, but next time please stun as early as possible. Unfortunately, you see far too many videos on KZfaq and in real life where people fail to stun the fish at all and it is tortured to death on the hook and many anglers grin at the camera instead of doing their job. As I am aware that fishing fleets unfortunately work in exactly the same way (difficult to do otherwise), I have limited my fish consumption as much as possible. I hope that one day I'll stop eating fish altogether, because the oceans are already being industrially fished dry anyway (not by you anglers).

We were able to see into the bottom of boat and we used binos to check as well. we went round three times. Nothing else to do ,too dangerous to put someone in the water 350 nm from land in the seastate we had .Instruction from marine authorities is to be wary of boarding , too big a chance of damage to our hull and endangering lives of our crew. Many of these boats are used by Illegal immigrants to go from Africa to Cape Verde and are then abandoned adrift and become a navigation hazard .

In a boat that size, you'd have no problem toting a homemade generator. I purchased a Sichuan Sifa MB 168F three horsepower diesel. It's 20 MM crankshaft is adapted up to one inch. A seven inch pulley can turn a Delco 10Si alternator with a 7/16 ths belt. The motor wants a 3/8 aluminum plate to mount on, which sits on a wide mount of aluminum and wood. It only has to turn out a horsepower, which is the right way to run a diesel.
@Aequitas-sailintothesunset Ай бұрын
The generator we have currently is a 6hp Nanni QMF 6 , it’s got a kubota diesel engine . Would be nice to have a spare and your suggestion looks good ,😊 but space (despite it being a good size boat 47ft) is limited and the 6hp took some shoehorning to get in . The fault with charging turned out to be a blown condenser but despite carrying loads of spares that wasn’t one of them . The Nanni / kubota runs well but electrics on boats always problematic in a salty environment.
