https://uk.himiwaybike.com/sailingmelody We're steadily prepping and upgrading our old, once abandoned, Bluewater classic, into a state of the art, modern mean machine. And this week that means we crack on with the installation of the Accelerant Lithium batteries, the Victron Multiplus 2 and the amazing Himiway Fat Tyre Cruiser E-Bike. To buy the AMAZING Himiway Cruiser, click our affiliate link below and get a huge £50 of the price by using the promo code SAILINGMELODY https://uk.himiwaybike.com/sailingmelody But does a big fat tyre bike like this work as a means of land transport for live-aboard? Well that's what I want to find out. So to test that theory I set about loading the bike into the dinghy and heading off to the beach for a trial run.

UPDATE 9/11/18 - just in from Boris Best from the upwind bouncing bam bam bam. All good here so far.Liebe grüße Tech talk: I had broken a lashing between the mast and the block for the mast rotation purchase. I left the mast rotation loose as upwind it aligns itself usually pretty nicely. This morning around 4 the boat was suddenly starting to act weirdly. I checked the wind angle display but i was upwind, although the boat was jumping over the waves and reaching at 2 knots. Heeled over a lot. I felt quickly that it was wrong with the wind instruments. I switched on the B system and find out that was broken. No surprise that the wind vane on the top of the mast was damaged after all the slamming. My heart beat rises imagining sailing the rest of the race with no instruments like in the TJV. It means a big penalty in performance. To figure out what was going on i swapped over some elements and could find that on my main system only the mast angle sensor had broken, possibly as a consequence of leaving the mast rotation open. I repaired the lashing, adjusted the mast to this upwind angle and gave the instruments a manuel input for mast angle instead of the sensor. That way my A system is now fully up and giving nice wind data again. A small issue but in the darkness and upwind - slamming is quite annoying. So happy now that i still have one functional wind vane at the top of the mast and can sail with autopilot following the wind angle… that helps a lot!
