AIS & Funkanlage eingebaut! Meine Elvström 38 wird blauwasserbereit
This video marks a big step towards my bluewater sailing adventure and circumnavigation! I'm installing the new radio system, as well as the AIS transmitter and receiver, in the cockpit of my Elvström 38. Reliable communication and visibility at sea are essential for safe offshore and bluewater sailing. The AIS system allows other ships to spot me early – a crucial milestone on the way to my planned circumnavigation. But not everything goes according to plan: During the work, I get an unexpected visitor and a rather grumpy swan hisses at me! Join me as I continue the outfitting of my sailboat and embark on my great adventure: sailing around the world! Join me as I continue to upgrade my sailboat and embark on my grand circumnavigation adventure! Topics in this video: • Installation of the radio system • Installation of AIS transmitter and receiver • Cockpit rebuild on the Elvström 38 • Preparation for bluewater sailing • Safety and visibility at sea • Unexpected encounter with a swan If you enjoyed the video, I'd appreciate a subscription, a thumbs up, and a comment! 👍 #Sailing #Circumnavigation #Bluewater #Elvström38 #AIS #RadioSystem #SailingYacht #BoatLife #Sailing #SailingLife #BluewaterSailing #Refit #Sailboat #Adventure A heartfelt thank you to all viewers!
