Cosa tratta questo video
Jorman tours the exterior and deck of his Westerly Falcon 35, a 35-foot bluewater cruiser he and Yendy have lived aboard for six years.Watch The extra foot over the standard 34-foot model comes from a custom stern platform added at the factory, which doubles as a swim and fishing platform with a fold-down ladder.36:23 A Bruce anchor replaced the original CQR; at Porto Santo it buried half a meter into sand during a storm and held so firmly Jorman had to dive to free it by hand.1:41 All navigation lights have been converted to LED, cutting total electrical draw to one-fifth of the original single incandescent bulb.1:12 A 100-watt flexible solar panel, lashed with Dyneema and stainless-steel grommets rather than permanently mounted, powers laptops, cameras, and appliances for liveaboard use.21:45 All halyards and control lines run aft to the cockpit, allowing single-handed sail management without leaving the helm.16:03 Original Ariant winches remain in service.31:40 Safety gear includes a six-person offshore liferaft in a rigid canister on a dedicated stainless-steel stern mount, and a secondary VHF antenna serving the AIS system.37:01 A GPS antenna provides position without internet.38:51 The teak toerail, now over 30 years old, requires only monthly pressure-washing.3:21 The interior tour is deferred to a follow-up.44:28
