Have you ever seen a lithium mine? Do you know how photosynthesis works? If carbon dioxide levels are too low there will be a less photosynthesis which means less food. Petroleum is much more beneficial for the planet earth than lithium batteries and the extremely toxic substances in solar panels.

Can you describe the details regarding going overboard? If you don't mind it would be helpful for us solo sailors to hear it.

I was going forward carrying fenders to prep the boat to arrive at my dock. I knew I would arrive at night so wanted to prep before it got dark. Moved forward, was tied into jackline as I always dowhen I go forward. Boat hit a wave and I took a headfirst dive from starboard side to Port side. Crashed into and broke lifelines. Had I not been tied in on port Jack line, I would have had a three me swim to shore, and the rest of my life to complete it.

I learned from Berry on Adventures of an old sea dog channel that it’s better to have your jack line going down the center of the boat, that way you don’t go over the side. Nice boat I’ve always liked the Flicka. I just picked up a O’Day 20 I’ll play with for a while

Thanks for watching...I always travel forward on the high side. This gives me a little extra space with the safety line to keep me on the boat. I have it measured making it impossible to fall off the low side if hooked in on high side . Down the middle doesn't give me extra space. Regardless....key is to always be hooked and measure the length of the line to keep you on the boat...staying attached but still overboard only solves part of the problem...trying to get aboard while being dragged is its own challenge, and one I strive to avoid.

Hi there, iv'e enjoyed your videos here in England. I just wanted to ask, did you hand steer all the time, or did you have an auto helm or other means to help steer the boat. I have a home built Flicka ( i built her from a set of plans in 1993 ). Best regards, Oz.

I used a Raymarine 2000 tiller pilot for probably 90% of the journey. Key is to reef head sail at around 15 knts and that limits weather helm making it a breeze for tiller pilot.

I started from Hernando Beach FL. I love my Mantus Anchor. It is greatly oversized for the boat, and as a result I had to install a bow Roller for it, but.....when I drop that baby, I do not budge....and that allows me to sleep well at night. I believe it is the 23lb mantus.

Hello, it is the first time to contact you. Trying to find an owners’ group on web and If any exists, please advice👈🏻, thank you. We own FLICKA20ft (manufacture #: PCS 2040 2C090) here in Japan. There is no dealer deals with FLICKA 20ft anymore in Japan so, looking for some info bellow: 1- The best set position of the anode for the propella. 2- About a gudgeon and a pintle of rudder (For an order for the future) →the cost? how long it takes? or any dealer exists to whom we need to place the order directly? 😊 Thank you.

I will never forget the picture of a flicka anchored at palmyra island 1000 miles from honolulu. Picture was in earl hinze landfalls of paradise. That started my dream. I almost bought a dana 24. Back in 1988. Tbe flicka was impressive. But i wanted more. Ended up with a yankee 30 and i missed palmyra landfalling in fanning 150 miles south of palmyra . I have a tayana 37 since 2005 . Itss as small as i would go at my age 60.

Hello- I have a 1985 Pacific Seacraft flicka 20 with a 1 gm 10 diesel. I’m wondering how the 3 hp e-propulsion outboard works for your flicka especially in the wind ? I’m interested in changing to electric propulsion my only concern being power. Nice video. Cheers- Erik

I replaced my 1gm 10 with the e-propulsion Navy 6.0. That will operate at max of 6000 watts. I never operate at that level, there is no need. 2,000 watts will push the boat 4 knts in most conditions. and frankly I normally run at 1000 watts in my channel, and will average 3-3.5 knts depending on wind and current. Bottom line, with the Navy 6.0 I can generate similar thrust to the 1GM10....I just cannot do as long. I also have 3 X E80 batteries for total of 240 AH to run motor. It has never been an issue on multi-day cruises....but....if I were to do a 30 day adventure, I probably would wish I had a 4th battery.....so that is why I carry a 2K portable generator and 2 gallons of gas as a backup.

Also an owner of an '85 Flicka with a 1gm10 and an ePropulsion Spirit as a dinghy motor and theoretically it should push the big boat about 3 knots with about an hour of range. I will come back to this when I test it.
