Although a little goes a long way, I quite like the ROAM style videos - very little verbiage, a few quick labels, nice snappy action montages over catchy music. Re: Influence. Now that I think of it, I did purchase some music from the ROAM videos. Where else am I gonna get exposed to Australian bar bands? Totally agree with you, the Roam vids are a class above all the other offerings. I actually got to meet them in Fiji in October 2016, they were getting ready to head back to Oz and we were heading east. They built Roam to an amazing level of finish and not too long after launching left for Fiji in search of waves, which they scored (Cloudbreak was 10 to 12 foot as we entered the pass to clear in to Fiji !) Since that trip they have done 2 more trips, both times to French Polynesia where they are now.Wow, these guys don’t muck around. No bullshit with this couple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They just plod up and down the ICW because their babystay mount point is broken, so they are afraid to sail for fear of bringing the rig down. On this model of Moody, the babystay apparently takes the place of lower shrouds and is important to rig integrity, yet they still haven't fixed it, even after a year. This prevented them from sailing to the Bahamas. They are terrified of basically...everything. They should rename their blog "Sailing Paranoid" or "Sailing Paralysis."

Not only does this eliminate objectionable noises, your narrations are much more coherent when reading a prepared script into a mic on the computer rather than spewing a random stream of consciousness over the wind and engine at the moment that things are happening.

Thank god you and Jill don't do one of these reality style sailing vlogs. thanks for that KC For those who are not following as closely I have not only dumped the music (deepest apologies to Mrs KC) but also the voice overs as well - but only from the youtube versions of the films. I have also removed nearly all the other films from youtube listings . - although they are still all available via links on my website. This allows me to "curate" the films - rather than leaving it up to the vicissitudes of the youtube algorithm to decide what people should watch next. The result of this is that website traffic has gone up threefold, taps have held steadyish and there are a few new names I have never come across before posting comments on the website. Total youtube hits per day have plunged from around 4,000 a day to around 1,000 - but then I was earning nothing at all from the youtube hits. I have discovered that people are more likely to re-watch the films without the added prose - It is an interesting experiment with, so far, few downsides - apart from those old blokes watching via a smart TV youtube app. Dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

freewheelin 164 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I've never been able to get into this couple, though they are popular. They seem sweet and genuine, but not that interesting. I decided to give them another chance and the episode I chose made me scratch my head. No need to watch it all, I'll summarize. They explain why they went without lifelines, and they explain here that they were waiting to install a full stainless steel railing they could "trust", rather than fixing the lifelines. So they sailed around the Caribbean for years without them waiting for ones they thought would work better, trying to get quotes on stainless steel. Confusing enough. Maybe I am just being a safety nudge, but what really had me perplexed was these two parts. . @10:50 they explain that they didn't really need lifelines because they knew their boat, and how to hold on, and would clip in when they needed to. OK. But then @14:50 they cut to both of them standing on the deck, holding nothing, wing on wing with the autopilot - what looks to me like one accidental jibe from a really fucked up day.

Zora 99 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I really enjoyed their build series a few years ago. They plan to head to iceland, that will be cool to see. I'm not sure i'm on board with all the electric engine driven boats on youtube though. Does anyone here have experience with electric engine in a boat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freewheelin 164 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's interesting you mention the electric engine. The Uma video I watched right after this one was the Uma people interviewing a couple brand new youtubers discussing going electric. I was interested and looked at a video from each channel. Both videos I saw showed them not able to punch into the anchorage they were planning to in the time period they wanted because of weather. Then, they just had no idea what to do and shit hit the fan (for one of them, this was only part of their problem). It made the think, because they each cited the Pardeys sailing around the world without an engine as reasons they switched. But the Pardeys also had the seamanship to sail safely without a motor. These sailors are just starting out, and seemingly aren't doing the legwork or planning to get good enough to be safe. It seems that the electric just isn't a big enough crutch to carry them. FWIW, I am not anti-electric. The opposite. I would likely convert before replacing my diesel. But I sailed for years without a motor, and I know that the electric would be enough to meet my needs. But I can't get behind someone just starting, with little or no sailing experience, out who rips out their diesel to go electric. That diesel may get them out of a jam that they aren't experienced enough to see coming. Here are the two videos. Neither seem to have much of a clue what they are doing. So understandably, the engine is just a piece of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freewheelin 164 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 also, the boat that ran aground and was pounded so hard the floorboards came up, motor died, and they called a mayday decided they didn't need haul out after a quick visual inspection. jesus.
