  Noisy yes but very reliable ….. so far. We’ve got a topsail but have never rigged it. We can figure out how to raise and lower it whilst afloat without altering the mast beyond the mast collar.

  Another great video of Sea Jade. Looks like the 4-stroke outboard only just fits in the well. What location in Scotland is this?

• 
  @Seajade10 ай бұрын

  Thanks and yes, the Tohatsu is a snug fit, so much so that we had a new transom made to allow the rear of the engine cowling to miss the rear wall of the well. As for locations, we were on Loch Linnhe, the Sound of Mull, the Lynn of Morvern and Loch Sunart. It’s great small boat territory, lots of marina options and some great anchorages.

  Thanks Jos. The trip was good, the weather ….. variable! You can see we now have a petrol outboard so our range has increased. Not as pleasant to live with as the electric but we can forget worrying about find places to recharge.

  We have WB108 Kairos, very impressed with your sailing. Does the solar panel work well? We find our petrol engine gets too hot with the panel in that position. This year we did Bucklers hard - Weymouth and all of the little coves in between. Good sailing.

• 
  @Seajade Жыл бұрын

  The solar panel works well to keep the leisure battery topped up and the electric Epropulsion motor doesn’t get hot. But, we’ve moved the panel to the hatch top now because we want to use a petrol engine at times and it's a bit too tall to sit under the panel. The electric motor is fantastic in all respects though but it’s the range we sometimes worry about. We've never emptied two batteries and got ourselves into trouble but there's always that nagging doubt ........ I thought Kairos was WB112?

  My word, your family spend more time at sea than on the land, plus you must in the course of a season, cruise every corner of the UK. I did notice that poor old mum was left to pull the loaded trolly on her own, but guess thats one step up from being left to helm in the rain whilst the rest of the crew chill down below. Take care and keep on cruising.

  I like the way your electric outboard can be raised in the small well. I presume you've got the short shaft model. I'm trying to navigate the pro/cons between having an electric outboard on my W/B with built in power source or the sort that use a battery/s on the boat. Did anything influence your decision in particular? Thanks for another great vid. 🙂

• 
  @Seajade2 жыл бұрын

  The motor is brilliant but it can't be raised in the well. The space isn't big enough. What we do is fold the handle / tiller flat but the propellor stays in the water. We keep the battery in the rear locker and use an extension cable - again because there's not enough room in the well.

  Glad you like the videos, we certainly enjoyed making and sailing them. The Wayfarer is a great boat and with the right trailer, and trolley they are pretty easy to handle a the crew of two or more. We’ve never had any problems towing them - even behind a Skoda Fabia 1.2. As for refitting the mast and getting the boat back on the water, we can be sailing within 30 minutes of arriving at the ramp. The mast itself is set in a tabernacle so raising it (and lowering it again) is pretty simple once you’ve got the knack.
