I will try to figure out. Because of how we run the boat we rarely have a steady speed over a period of time.

Thank you for the encouragement. 6 months ago only the ecoat was available, we used the stainless on mine. We love the swivel to be able to use for communal seating at anchor. Some people do not love that the lever sticks out when the bolster is up.

It is the beauty of docking a twin engine, you can use the wheel and throttles, the engines alone, or both.

The more you do it, the easier it gets. And, no matter how many times you dock, there will be times it gets hectic.

We have spanned Savannah to Ft Lauderdale in the ICW and over to the Bahamas. Love all there is to see along the way.

I do not think so. Length is 34’3” and beam is 11’1”. With fuel gear and fuel it is about 15,000 lbs

That is the Garmin Quatix 7x solar. It pairs with the Garmin chart plotter (i keep depth on it when we are anchored - and the depth finder is working). It also has an anchor alarm. Love the battery life on the solar, but, the non-solar is less expensive. If you have a Garmin chart plotter, it is a great tool.

It gets you all the systems of a bigger boat at a fair price. Some of the materials are lighter quality - but you know that going in. The value is really high and we love the versatility and accept the short comings. Tried to be open about our experience to help others.

Thank you. Trying to keep getting better.

Thank you. Appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you.

We uploaded the boat registration and dingy registration. If you had pet (and I believe weapons, but not 100% sure) those documents would be uploaded as well.

For us they help get loosen and get the residue off.

It is easier for sure. But, there is always the chance to screw it up.

Great comments. I am in the US, so power cords, through hulls and railing attachments are all non-standard. We do not have a joy stick, a little jealous about those. Sorry about the window. Have seen a few people with that same issue. We have been comfortable at anchor - but in protected harbors. The low dead rise (ie flat bottom) contributes to that rough ride in waves.

They accepted it as a warranty issue. They asked me to video tape the seam leaking and send to them. This is the warranty page: takacatamericas.com/pages/warranty-center#:~:text=Parts%20and%20equipment%2C%20including%20carry,years%20from%20date%20of%20purchase.

I have head about that window issue. We have had minor issues with some hinges and I have pulled screws out of fiberglass, but nothing that significant.

Thank you. Good luck with the 1095. We really enjoy the 1095. It is not perfect, but the combination of range, interior space and features is really attractive.

Thank you. That is the goal.

I appreciate it. I was not happy with the mistakes, but, the goal is to show what it is like being a boat owner. Just talking about docking while doing it threw me off.

Appreciate the comment. The whole goal is to share knowledge and help people enjoy owning and using a boat.

I am indeed!

Thank you for the encouragement. Happy to answer any question I can about the 1095. I should have gotten an electric turkey carver. But, muddled through with the scissors I had.

Ha. I have never though of it before, now I will not stop wondering.

It runs rough off shore in larger seas with how low the dead rise gets about mid-ship. We have crossed to the Bahamas in 5’ seas and wallow a little. It is happiest in seas under 2’. It is sea worthy and you stay dry in the waves, but it is not a smooth ride. The 1095 runs happiest at 4400 rpm, which you just cannot do in waves over 3’.

@@echozulucruising Thanks, we are interested in the 1095 and really enjoy watching your videos. When you say 5’ and 3’, are you meaning 5 metre and 3 metre waves?

@@echozulucruising Sorry, am just asking these questions because we live in New Zealand and wind can often change suddenly from 5 knots to 25 knots during a day out on the water

@@christopherkolose5822 sorry was going all imperial measurement - 1 metre to 1.75 metre waves. It can plow through bigger waves, but it is not optimal with the flatter bottom.

@@christopherkolose5822 we always feel safe in bigger waves, but not quick or comfortable.

Thank you. Always happy to answer questions about the pro and con. We still love our 1095, acknowledging some of the trade offs offs.

@@echozulucruising What are the main differences between your 1095 and the Antares 11 . ? I seem to recall the Antares has only 2 cabins, so you'd lose that smaller cabin you use for storage. Also, the Antares has the drop-down deck on the starboard side which is rather nice. Any other major differences?

We looked at the Antares 11 as well and liked it. A big deciding factor for us was finding a broker we trusted in Dunbar Yachts. The three things I really prefer (without the experience of owning one) on the Antares 11 are 1) the cockpit "beach mode" 2) a closet in the main cabin and 3) the bow cushions and integrated/stowable sunshade. The three things I prefer on the 1095 are 1) a separate 3rd cabin for storage (instead of the larger full berth that is both storage and sleeping) 2) the salon layout with seating across for meals (and the salon table converting to a large couch for reading and movies) and 3) the galley layout, with more storage above the galley table and with the sink in the corner, then stove, then prep area behind the helm. The Antares 11 looks like a great boat and was on our shortlist, though, we do not have boat envy over not having it (now, the 1295, that I have boat envy over because of all the space).

@@echozulucruisingThanks, really useful. We looked at the 1295 Fly as well as the new DB42 at the Tampa Boat Show recently. Both a bit out of our price range for a first boat, but jut beautiful vessels.

@@sebdewhurst7276the 1095 and Antares 11 are both such great, versatile boats. Good luck in your search.

Yes they sent a new floor a year ago and it has held up. Had to send a video of the leak, but was an easier process than I feared it would be.

Agreed. They sent me a new floor. Seems heavier. Looks like better quality overall

I guess? We do appreciate boating.

Trying to describe what I was doing rather than just doing threw me off for sure.

Thank you. My default is engines straight and just throttles unless wanting larger maneuvers, with less power. I learned on boats with fixed props and rudders. So, turning the wheel and engaging the engine is how I think of getting the most lateral movement with the least forward momentum. For example, to move the aft to starboard, spin wheel hard to port in neutral, engage the starboard engine forward briefly to give more aft walk to starboard.

Helm centered and using the gears is correct for twin inboards where the props are some distance apart. With outboards, where the props are close together, it is very effective to use the helm and only the engine on the outside of the turn. This keeps your speed down and maximizes the turning moment. Wheel to starboard, use port engine. Think of turning a shopping cart or a castered office chair. You have the ability to direct the thrust, use it.

If there is any leak below the water line, seems likely you need to get professional help. The pumps will not pick up every drop. In our lazarette, we get some water in the bilge from heavy rains, but the bilge in the cabin is typically dry. You are doing the right thing figuring out where the water is coming from!

Thank you. Added to my ever growing list of “things I used to know.”

Paperwork I have from a marketing book says 12’5”. I will post a screen shot in the posts, since I cannot here. I really enjoy the 1295 space and layout. And, the fit and finish emulates a lot that Jeanneau seems to be implementing in the Series 2 boats.

I need to put one together. Biggest part is knowing the tide and where you are going. This video was done with the tide coming in, so we knew it would only get deeper for hours. Would not be that close on an out going tide.

Fair. It was an attempt at humor for what a day shape tells about a towing vessel.

Possibly. It did not seem so. Was really trying to humorously point out that diamond day shape indicates a tow that is 200m behind and that is the first place to look when you see a day shape. And, if you are unclear stay out of the way even if the towing vessels are not showing restricted in ability to maneuver day shapes.

Trying to humorously make the point that the diamond day shape signifies a tow behind over 200m.

Good question, that i cannot answer. The generator was my initial option and assumed both the batteries were low.

The Seawalker is sexy looking for sure, with a nice layout. Would love to get on board one, but have not seen any around where I live in Florida. The Cap Camarat 10.5 is more utilitarian (or, a dad boat). The other difference, beyond style, is a larger cabin below, which is important to some people an not others. I am not sure why fewer boats in the US are ordered with teak, i love the look and feel of it personally. I remain partial to our 1095, because of the enclosed cabin and how we use the boat for both overnight trips and day boating. I am always on the look out for our next boat.

ouch

Thank you. Click2Clear is painfully non-intuitive - starting with the whole rotation number for log in.

Thank you. I need to figure out how to turn off the store on shorts.
