a Sustainable Sailing New Year 🙂
Plus a big cheer for reaching 50 subscribers (21 of them in December!) 🙂
Month: December 2021
90 days of YouTube progress
In September we decided to put some effort into YouTube, the first video we put up was on September 25th and announced here: Bow roller progress and it’s on YouTube!
We have published 18 videos since then. We have grown from 10 to 47 subscribers, and had 100 hours of viewing spread over 1230 views.
It is especially encouraging to see significant growth month on month. For example when we look at the last 30 days compared to the previous 30 days we have seen Views increase by 155%, Subscribers increase by 183% and Watch Time by 193%. Our most watched video is the Dyneema Rigging Q&A with 278 views:
As well as subscribers we would love to get more interaction in terms of comments. Come and join in as we build a community interested in Sustainable Sailing 🙂
New breaking dyneema video
Our next video is available (somewhat delayed because due to a bug in kdenlive I had to render it 3 times and each one takes 12 hours now that we are producing it at 4K resolution).
Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Load tested our Dyneema Chainplate loops to over 4, 000kg
We have just finished testing our Dyneema Chainplate loops to over 4, 000kg. They didn’t break, although something did at about 4,175kg.
Hopefully we have caught it all on video which will be out soon 😊
For our UK cruising, a guide to cities to visit
Interesting (free) article from Yachting Monthly on 10 UK cities to visit by boat. Wonder how many we will get to before heading to warmer climes.
Regular Thursday reminder
After we forgot one time we now stick this on the front door on the days we go to the boat.
We put another Bow Roller progress video up yesterday.
Great Sailing Uma TedX talk
So Kika spoke at a TedX event in Cowes. A really good talk that fits very much with our philosophy here at Sustainable Sailing with our subtitle of “SUSTAINABLE: Environmentally, Financially, Mentally, Physically”
So highly recommend this short talk:
Dyneena chainplate testing video
Our next video showing our new chainplate loops being tested is now available (took 9 hours to render because we have prepared it at 4K resolution).
Hopefully this will make the way our chainplates will work far clearer.
