We’re approaching the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait—one of the most notorious chokepoints in the world and a place sailors don’t take lightly. But just as we prepare to pass through, I’m suddenly below deck battling in the engine room. Instead of calmly approaching the strait, we’re trying to keep the boat running. And as night falls, we learn there is a warship operating in the area that’s aware of our position. Just another day sailing one of the most intense stretches of our voyage. Full episode now on Bums on a Boat. #babemandeb #redsea #sailingadventure #sailinglife #sailingvoyage #lifeatsea #engineproblems #offshoresailing #oceanadventure #circumnavigation #bumsonaboat #sailboatlife #adventureatsea #maritime #shorts

Louison vous fait découvrir son métier de chaudronnier et ce qui l'anime au quotidien à travers son témoignage. Il est toujours assez étonnant de voir d’où commence la naissance des OVNI et des Cigale… L’arrivée des plaques d’aluminium prédécoupées sur palette… De cette forme initiale, plane, les hommes lui apportent rondeurs et formes autour du mannequin. Le savoir-faire de nos compagnons, comme Louison, réside dans l’assemblage par soudure-pointée. Ces feuilles d’aluminium de 4 à 10 mm d’épaisseur sont rapprochées et soudées entre elles pour devenir une coque, un pont et enfin un voilier d’une robustesse incroyable. Il faut compter 10 semaines en moyenne en chaudronnerie avant que cette unité en aluminium rejoigne l’étape de la peinture. ENGLISH PRESENTATION Louison makes you discover his job as a metalworker and what drives him on a daily basis through his testimonial. It is always quite impressing to see where the birth of the OVNI and the Cigale yachts begins ... The arrival of pre-cut aluminum plates on a pallet ... From this initial, flat shape, men bring curves and shapes around the mannequin. The know-how of our companions, like Louison, is in the assembly by point welded. These 4 to 10 mm thick aluminum plates are gathered and welded together to become a hull, a deck and finally a very sturdy sailboat. It takes an average of 10 weeks in metalwork before this aluminum unit reaches the painting stage.
