BBC Earth has asked me to participate in their Real Happiness Project. The aim of the project is to inspire people to enjoy nature because a study has shown that being exposed to nature, even if it is just virtually, makes people happy. Here's a little contribution on how living on my sailboat Karl / the ocean has brought so much happiness to my life. Comment below how nature makes you happy or share this video to spread the word :) thank you!!! And thanks to BBC Earth for letting Karl and me be part of this awesome project! Enjoy and Ahoy, Nike & Karl

This Beautiful 19,60 m long Motor Wood Gulet was built in 1988 by J. Akdenniz in Turkey. It is registered with German Flag. This gulet is lying in Ibiza, and viewings are available through Network Yacht Brokers. The boat is used privately by a family that sails around the Balearics and Spain from May to October. During the year, the boat stays 2-4 weeks in the yard and 11 months in the water. The owner wants to sell it because the boat became too big for them as the children grew up, and they no longer follow their parents. A gulet is a perfect boat for coastal sailing in the Med. The hull was built between 1984 y 1987. Commissioned in1988. In its life, the boat had approximately five owners and only sailed in the Med.

Mudar de chumbo para lítio é um dos melhores upgrades que você pode fazer no barco, mas exige mesmo esse cuidado com o carregador. Como as baterias de lítio têm uma resistência interna muito baixa, elas aceitam muita carga de uma vez, e se o carregador antigo não tiver o perfil de carregamento correto, ele pode acabar danificando as células ou nunca chegando à carga plena. Ter o controle pelo celular facilita muito a vida a bordo. Por meio do aplicativo, você pode monitorar a corrente de entrada (amperes), ver exatamente quanto de energia está entrando do cais (220V) e saber se está com 80%, 90% ou 100%. O lítio é sensível ao calor excessivo durante a carga rápida. Como o lítio carrega muito mais rápido, o carregador vai trabalhar em alta intensidade por mais tempo do que o antigo trabalhava. Vale dar uma conferida se os cabos que conectam o carregador ao banco de baterias estão bem dimensionados e se os terminais estão bem crimpados para não aquecerem. Se você for deixar o barco conectado ao 220V no píer por muito tempo sem usar, não é ideal manter o lítio em 100% o tempo todo. Configure para manter a carga em torno de 50% a 70%, o que prolonga muito a vida útil. Instalar isso você mesmo economiza uma fortuna e garante que você conheça cada centímetro do sistema elétrico do barco, caso algo precise de ajuste no meio do oceano. #victron #vidaabordo #manutenção #veleiro #mar

► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
