Sailing Vessel Arianrhod. She's a 1979 Morgan 38.2 that has sailed around the
globe once already and she is our mobile floating production studio and our home
and today we are going to give you a tour, but we have some heavy weather
predicted so, first!
Arianrhod is a Celtic mythical
character. The Silver Moon or the Fair Maiden and she is also the mother of Dylan.
This is our sailboat and right now we are docked with six dock lines cuz...
Welcome to Sailing Vessel Arianrhod.
Approximately 215 square feet depending
on how you count of modernized retro amenities. In the fo'c'sle we have a
glorious v-berth modified to get the maximum storage. The fo'c'sle serves
mainly as storage for extra baggage, bedding, clothing, and laundry. Moving aft
into the cabin on the starboard side we have the closet. Aft-ward the closet is
the head equipped with this standard marine pump toilet. Not being equipped
with hot water we boil water, put it in the garden sprayer for a shower.
In the salon we are kept warm with our Cubic Mini wood stove and instruments for Kumbaya.
Food storage.
I'm a Dometic refrigerator.
I'm the same model, but set to freezer mode!
STOVE!
Welcome to the Navigation Table.
Where I creatively endeavor on my archaic computer.
Equipped with a new Beta Marine 38 engine
Arianrhod is a complete home on the water.
After living in a van for nearly two years
Arianrhod provides ample space to work, live, and travel the globe in
comparatively stylish luxury.
Arianrhod is a sloop rig that has been modified into
a unique cutter
as to be able to carry two different furling head sails
making her an incredibly versatile vessel.
Our forward most sail is our Genoa
and our biggest of the primary sails.
Aft of the Genoa is the Jib which
has significantly less sail area than the Genoa.
Attached to the mast is our main sail
which has three reefing points for heavy weather.
We also have a
Spinnaker and a Storm Jib which stay stored below.
Recently equipped with
davits we store a 9.9 HP motor in our dinghy astern.
Arianrhod is equipped with a slew of equipment: PFD's, a life raft, as well as an
extra 35 gallons of diesel bringing the total carrying capacity of diesel to 75
gallons providing 150 hours of engine run time. We also carry a total
of 10 gallons of petrol for our dinghy. On the bow we are equipped with a 20 kilo
Rocna Anchor and two hundred foot of chain. We have held with this anchor in
30-plus knots of wind. We have drug anchor in the record-breaking 80
nautical mile an hour Bora. Our second anchor we have actually never used and I
don't really know anything about it, BUT it probably would have kept us solid in that Bora.
Let's haul her out and take a look at under the water line
Arianrhod has 30 feet six inches on the water line.
She has five feet on the draft.
She's designed with an elongated fin keel
with a skag attached rudder.
She's ballasted with six thousand eight hundred pounds of lead and in the aft
portion of the keel there's a 15 gallon waste holding tank.
With her voluptuous curves
she displaces seventeen thousand two hundred pounds of water.
Arianrhod is a well functioning sound seafaring vessel but is by no means perfect.
The AIS sometimes works.
The radar doesn't work.
The MFHF transceiver doesn't work
This stereo doesn't work.
This battery monitor doesn't work.
I took out the water heater because when the engine was on it would dump all our potable water.
I've never used this monitor.
Some of the outlets don't even work.
The horn doesn't work.
The speakers kind of work.
The important part of the autopilot does work
most of the time. The anchor control from the cockpit don't work and the
depth gauge does work.
The wind indicator is literally only working because
we're filming it, it NEVER works. And the knot meter works as well as a knot meter works.
The water maker doesn't work and I can't figure out why. The shower doesn't work
but we have an alternative. Forward burner on the stove that doesn't
actually even exist.
The other traveler stop...that goes lost to the sea.
With a 300 watt poly-crystalline solar panel and a 200 watt wind generator, an alternator
a generator, and occasionally shore power we are able to keep our 750 amp hour 12
volt flooded lead-acid battery bank alive but we are soon in need to upgrade
to lithium polymer.
As is nearly all things in life Arianrhod has a laundry list of things to do.
Now it's time to Explore Life Together.
I hope you're excited because up next is our first sail after four and a half months of
turmoil on land.
This is how we do voice-over in Arianrhod.
