This is what Svetlana Morris, HR Manager from London had to say about her British Virgin Islands trip, hint Tom Rider experience was had :)

Step inside the engine room and discover the essential checks required to keep a marine engine running safely and reliably. In this video, we focus on the key elements of engine maintenance, highlighting the critical areas that technicians monitor to prevent issues and ensure smooth operation. From overall condition checks to detailed inspections of piping, electrical systems, and fluid levels, every step plays a role in keeping the vessel operational. You’ll see how corrosion is assessed across equipment, why properly secured hoses and clamps are essential, and how simple checks can prevent long-term damage. We also cover the importance of bilge pump condition, electrical connections, and monitoring engine and gearbox oil to detect potential problems early — including signs of seawater contamination. Whether you’re a yacht owner or interested in yacht maintenance, this video offers a clear, practical look at what it takes to maintain engine reliability at sea. #YachtManagement #BoatMaintenance #MarineEngine #YachtOwnership #Sailing

Take a closer look at one of the most important systems on board — the batteries that power comfort and daily life on a yacht. In this video, we explore how battery systems are maintained and managed within a professional charter fleet to ensure a seamless onboard experience. From lighting and refrigeration to essential onboard equipment, reliable power is key to both comfort and safety. Our teams carry out annual battery testing during the winter maintenance period to monitor performance and anticipate any issues. Depending on the type of battery system — including gel or lithium — replacements are planned strategically throughout the yacht’s operational life. When needed, we replace the full battery pack rather than individual units, ensuring consistency across the system and maintaining optimal performance. This is a practical look at how proper battery management supports reliability, efficiency, and comfort on board every charter yacht. #YachtManagement #BoatMaintenance #YachtOwnership #MarineElectrics #Sailing

Take a closer look at the inspection and maintenance of standing rigging — a critical component for both safety and sailing performance. In this video, we focus on how our teams monitor and maintain rigging systems, including cables, turnbuckles, chain plates, and mast fittings. These elements are essential to the structural integrity of the yacht and require regular attention throughout the season. Routine visual checks are carried out frequently, including after charters, to quickly identify any signs of wear or damage. During the winter maintenance period, rigging tension is carefully measured and adjusted using specialized tools to ensure optimal performance. In addition, independent professional inspections are conducted annually, often in line with insurance requirements, providing an extra level of verification and safety. As part of the phase-out process, a final detailed inspection ensures that all rigging is in proper condition — ready for safe sailing and the yacht’s next chapter. #YachtManagement #BoatMaintenance #YachtOwnership #Sailing #Rigging

This week on SV GOAT: a Furuno SCX-20 satellite compass joins the nav suite, the TZT XL 13 gets its latest firmware, and the Harley comes out for a run down the Spanish coast. First up, the SCX-20 install — mounting, wiring, NMEA 2000 integration, and why a satellite compass quietly outperforms a magnetic fluxgate on a boat full of steel, lithium, and electronics. No gimbals, no deviation, no recalibration after every alternator install. Then a walkthrough of the new TZT XL 13 software update. What changed, what didn't, and whether it's worth sitting through the install. And to close it out, we trade the dock lines for two wheels — Harley out, coast road, Mediterranean sun. A reminder that not every good day on the water happens on the water. 🛠 GEAR IN THIS EPISODE Furuno SCX-20 Satellite Compass Furuno TZT XL 13" MFD Harley Davidson 110 2016 Slim S ⛵ ABOUT SV GOAT Liveaboard life on a Lagoon 400 catamaran in the Med.
