International market for boats. Good prices abroad. How do you benefit? What are the risks? How do you buy or sell a boat internationally? Today at Sailing Maja we got a visit from the International Yacht Broker Rune Riktor at  ⁨@skippernyachts⁩  In this interview he tell us all about international trade for boats and yachts, commercial boats and fishing boat. What are the rules? What are the risks? Why should you use a broker, and when should you use a surveyor? In this video, Rune offers essential business advice for navigating the complexities of selling boats across borders. He highlights the significant risks and opportunities within the marine industry, emphasizing the importance of legal compliance. Understanding international shipping and potentially working with a customs broker are crucial steps for successful border crossing. This episode is very interesting for European buyer and seller as we speak a lot of EU VAT and EU regulations. Do you know the difference between EU Class A and EU Class B? What do you do if you boat is not manufactured in the European Union? Who is responsible for VAT and who knows all the paperwork you need to show? This interview is a conversation between Rune Riktor as the CEO of Skippern Yachts and Jarle "Charlie" Karlsrud, the skipper of the Nauticat 38, Maja. https://sailing-maja.com/ Disclaimer: Jarle Karlsrud has just begun working with Skippern Yachts, and Rune Riktor is his manager.

Bringing an EPRIB on a plane can be difficult if you do not have the right documents to show at the security check. In this video we go through the documents that we brought with us when we had the EPIRB in the hand luggage on the airplane. In addition to what follows the products in the box, we had the following documents: Classification Flowchart - Litium Metal Batteries MED-B Tron 60AIS (European approval, product) MED-D (European approval, Production) PSI Tron 60AIS UN 38.3 Test Summary report Tron 60AIS Declaration of Conformity, Tron 60AIS Inventory of haz mat, Tron 60AIS (2 pages/Sheet) This was all printed out on paper, and put in the tray for inspection together with the EPIRB. The security had a look at the EPIRB, and then on all the documents. They did not check the documents, so my guess is that since I was so well prepared, I probably had everything in full order.

In this video we have a special visitor on board our Nauticat 38, Maja. Norwegian YouTuber Bjørn-Aage Bredal from the popular channel @Garasjetid stops by to see the boat and join us while Maja is being lifted out of the water and placed on the hard. This is a relaxed, feel-good episode where you get to experience the atmosphere around the boatyard, see our Nauticat 38 from a different perspective, and meet Bjørn-Aage in person. If you enjoy Nauticat sailboats, pilothouse sailboats, and motorsailers, this is definitely for you. This video is also the first episode in a new series where we will show how we clean, wash, and take care of Maja. Together with Bjørn-Aage, we’ll be testing and demonstrating products used to maintain and protect the boat so she stays in great condition for many years to come.

We look at the EPIRB Tron 60 AIS with the manual bracket. Why choose AIS on your EPIRB? What is AIS? Why the manual bracket and not the Float-free version of the EPIRB? When choosing an EPIRB there are some question you need to ask yourself to find the right product for you. In this video we look at some of them, so you know more before you are ordering. This particular EPIRB will be installed in the sailing vessel "Maja", a 1982 Nauticat 38. You can read more about our boat, travels and work here: https://sailing-maja.com/ An EPIRB is an essential piece of safety equipment that can be crucial if something goes wrong at sea. In an emergency, an EPIRB or PLB automatically or manually sends a distress signal via satellite, with an accurate position, directly to the rescue service. This provides rapid notification and precise location, even far out at sea or in areas without mobile coverage. For many boaters, an EPIRB is the last and most important lifeline if you have to abandon your vessel or find yourself in distress alone.

To activate manually: Remove the EPIRB from the bracket, pull the release tab, and slide the switch to the ON position. The strobe light will then start flashing, indicating the device is active. The EPIRB features both visible white strobe light and infrared (IR) light; the IR improves visibility for night vision equipment and search-and-rescue (SAR) operations in darkness. Key Features Approved to the latest EPIRB standard (IEC 61097-2 Ed.4 and compliant with IMO/SOLAS regulations as of July 2022) AIS target-tracking/homing technology for faster localization by nearby vessels Return Link Service (RLS) via Galileo GNSS IR LED light for night vision devices and assisted SAR Excellent visibility with a powerful top-mounted strobe light (360° coverage) Tamper-proof design Compact and robust build Total battery lifetime: 11 years and 3 months Weight: 715 g (approx. 700–715 g depending on source) Operating temperature: -20°C to +55°C Storage temperature: -30°C to +70°C Safe compass distance: 0.8 m Material: Glass-fiber reinforced polycarbonate Antenna: Flexible, rubberized with integrated strobe GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System (supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo – 72 channels) What is an Emergency Beacon? An emergency beacon is a simple radio transmitter with worldwide range that, in a distress situation, is activated manually or automatically to send out a distress signal. In Norway, the signal is received by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (Hovedredningssentralen). EPIRB An EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) is a vessel-mounted distress beacon registered to the boat along with its VHF MMSI number. It transmits vessel details and precise position via satellite. The Tron 60AIS EPIRB includes built-in AIS and GPS for extremely accurate positioning. It also emits a powerful strobe light to aid in locating the distress site. Additionally, the Tron 60AIS features IR light, easily detectable by rescue helicopters and similar assets. An EPIRB typically operates for at least 48 hours after activation, with battery life usually ranging from 5–10 years. On the Tron 60AIS, it exceeds 11 years. The expiration date is stamped on the unit, and it is critical to return the beacon for battery replacement when due. Manually activated EPIRBs like this are typically placed near the stern deck exit or, on sailboats, on the pushpit at the stern. The Tron 60AIS is also available in a float-free version (Category 1) that is placed externally; it features a hydrostatic release unit (HRU) and will float free and activate automatically in case of sinking—but can of course also be manually activated if needed.

Our hydraulic steering broke down. When we fixed it, we made it better. In this video you can see how we have made a by pass valve for the hydraulic oil, so we can use the emergency tiller. We also changed the hydraulic pump on one of the two steering wheels that the Nauticat motorsailers have. In this case the boat is a Nauticat 38, and the system it made quite similar on other Nauticats and other boats with two position hydraulic steering. Another important step in our boat restoration! This video covers boat maintenance and how to use improve the boat safety. Learn how we tackled this part of the restoration process.
