After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

Der Prusikknoten hält nur dann zuverlässig, wenn Material und Anzahl der Wicklungen passen. Je glatter und dünner das „Seil“/Material (z. B. Drahtseil), desto öfter musst du den Prusik herumführen, damit genügend Reibung entsteht. ➡️ Weiter geht’s im nächsten Clip: klick auf „Ähnliches Video“ (unter meinem Namen). Notfalltraining (Praxis): https://sporedo.de/dl/notfall-training/ Gesprächstermin: https://sporedo.de/gespraechstermin/ Hinweis: Das ist eine Übung/Training und ersetzt keine Ausbildung. Übe nur sicher und mit Crew. #segeln #prusik #knoten #MOB #sicherheit #skipper #sporedo
