Thank you!

Just exactly what I thought when seeing the interior. Have been sailing on a few Swan yachts and this felt like a Nautor Swan interior. Very beautiful. All the best and fair winds from Sweden.

Have a look on the Antares Catamaran website. They have the pricing on the website: www.antarescatamarans.com/build-your-antares-44-hybrid/

combination of bad luck, high waves and lots of wind.

have a look on the Antares Catamaran website. They are very open regarding pricing. See www.antarescatamarans.com/build-your-antares-44-hybrid/

@@svLonna thank you for replying,i watched few of your videos and i saw that you got that crack on point of Lonna,is that damage because of poor quality or your fault?

If you mean the bow sprit crack, that was combination of bad luck and weather. In general we are very impressed by the workmanship and the quality delivered by Antares.

@@svLonna you are so lovely and thank you for answering my questions…..the last one you can answer in your spare time,so i don’t spend your precious time on Lonna….what would you say is your yearly maintenance on average(so it doesn’t need to be in penny’s but around thousands i would say)

@@skrbosmrdic2003 As Lonna is a brand new boat, our maintenance costs is low. for 12 month period, when rounding up, is US$ 1000. Mainly cleaning materials, (water) filters and engine maintenance (performed by Yanmar).

Dank je wel!

We are missing Suriname for sure!

Thanks heaps!

Just found you,absolutely loving your channel.

¡Gracias!

¡Gracias!

Thank you!

Dat is het zeker!

Good tips! thanks.

Yes, well over due but uploaded.

The fact that we have skegged rudders made us decide to do this beaching.

That guy is so skilled!

Thanks!

Thank you, we enjoy it a lot!

Yes, you are right. Sometimes it is easy and you can just "walk in" but some offices, like the Salvador one, they require pre-registration at the gate of the navy base.

Thank you. OCC refers to the Ocean Cruising Club. A full member has made at least a passage of 1000nm. More info can be found at www.oceancruisingclub.org.

Never a dull moment indeed.

Merci! We have a "Platinum" system from Sertec Marine (sertecmarine.com) and it was installed by the factory and checked/certified by the supplier. No worries for us when we see lightning.

Thank you!

thank you!

Can only agree! Thanks.

Thank you!

Thanks!

It is a Certec Marine, Platinum version. See: sertecmarine.com/en/#Modelos

If we use the aircon, oven, etc. we have to top up the battery bank every 4 days or so but without aircon we can last long as we get currently around 7kW solar per day.

@@svLonna is there hydro regeneration?

@@Mars21681 yes when sailing with decent wind (need some speed) the props can regenerate energy

:)

I partly agree and that is the reason why we have a parallel system. If the Hybrid fails, the Yanmar 3JH40 can take over instantly. The only modification on the Yanmar was the air intake cover. The standard plastic version was replaced by a stainless steel version. The Hybrid part is delivered by HybridMarine from the UK. A company in business for over 20 years. Fun fact, we had a small issue with the Yanmar during a night passage (oil filter was not tight enough screwed in) and I could use the hybrid instead. So when docking the next day we still had a port and starboard engine available to us. With our setup we have 2x 2engines to our disposal.

@@svLonna I should have known you had most issues thoughtfully sorted from your presentation in the video. I'm just nit picking. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the explanation and cheers.

Well noticed! We moved to New Zealand 13 years ago.

Thanks!

I agree! Lowers the stress level of new owners for sure.

Thank you!

As you know, we are novice ocean sailers. We left Argentina mid March and so far the current and the wind is in our favour. We took our time and left end March from Piriapolis, Uruguay. Took 7 days to Angra Dos Reis, Brazil where we stayed 1 month. 5 Days to Salvador where we stayed 2 weeks. 4 days to Cabedelo and stayed again another month. We will leave soon to Suriname and the current should be in our favour again. Hope this helps.

This is the tip we needed. We were looking for good stuff but in Argentina we could only find Brasso. Will search in Brazil and onwards for Collonite metal polish. Thank you!

@@svLonna You are welcome, but it is important to remember the metal wax as well. That way you won’t have to polish as often, thereby saving your arm and the metal😂

@@maldwindrummond6158 Thanks again, much appreciated!

Thank you! You made Jackie's day :)

Thanks!

Thanks, good tip! We have on both sides pre-filters (rope material?) after the water collection. I need to investigate what that is exactly. We also have a filter after the main pump and a UV tap with filter. We like clean water for sure.

We had the same, but had to watch

Dank je wel!

Yes, to be honest it was a big relief that they were all ok.

Thank you!
