Naked Watermaker Repairs. 🤭 Flashing Lights. 🚨🚨
Welcome to our channel.
We are now in season 7
In 2018 we left the UK to sail around the world slowly. After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far.
We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
We do have a second channel YOUR DRONE TV It is a mix of music from classical to blues, from Opera to Punk all with stunning drone footage.

In the latest episode of SV Impavidus, the team dives deep into replacing valves on their shore flow pumps as part of a comprehensive maintenance routine for their naked watermaker. This detailed process is crucial to ensuring that the watermaker operates efficiently and effectively.
Naked Watermaker Repairs
The team notices a drop in pressure and flow rate from their water maker, prompting them to inspect the pumps. Recognizing the need for specific valves, they reach out to one of their patrons, Joe, who brings back replacement valves from the UK at £85. After cleaning and installing these parts, they find that the pressure and flow rates improve significantly.
Exploring Valve Replacement
The episode offers a step-by-step guide to replacing the valves, highlighting how this process can dramatically affect the performance of the water maker. This informative segment is perfect for DIY boaters and professionals alike, providing insights into identifying issues with pump mechanisms and taking corrective action.
The Flashing Lights Debate
Despite successful repairs to the watermaker, the team at SV Impavidus encounters another nautical challenge – the use and regulation of flashing lights for marking boats in anchorages. The discussion delves into whether these lamps comply with navigation laws, sparking a debate among viewers.
The Law on Flashing Lights
In their research, the crew consults various navigation rules and directives to determine if these flashing lights are legal. While they find that certain signals are allowed in specific conditions, there is ambiguity about using them as marking devices for boats or nets. The debate continues online, with viewers sharing their own experiences and opinions on the matter.
Making Your Boat Stand Out
Having experienced a close call with another boat in poor visibility, SV Impavidus adopts flashing lights for their own safety and visibility. They highlight how these markers help distinguish their vessel among crowded anchorages, making it easier to spot at night or during unfavorable weather conditions.
The Conclusion
The episode wraps up with a call for viewers to share their thoughts on the use of flashing lights in anchoring. The team encourages open and reasoned discussions without rudeness, recognizing that everyone has different perspectives on this contentious topic.

I Couldn’t Save the Cat!
A peaceful afternoon at anchor suddenly turned into one of the most dramatic incidents I've witnessed in years. What I first thought was a catamaran anchoring too close to SV Impavidus turned out to be something far more serious. With nobody on board, the yacht had dragged its anchor and was dr...
The Night Malta’s Fireworks Shook Our Boat!
We were expecting Malta’s fireworks to be spectacular. We weren’t expecting them to explode directly above Impavidus from morning until after 11 o’clock at night! The thunder flashes and maroons were so powerful that they shook the boat. By morning, Impavidus was covered in burnt paper, string, fir...
Moving on.. She’s back!! 😁♥️😁
In this Weeks video, we take a look at the market in St Georges bay. Has it changed or is it still the same? We take a gentle sale round from St George's Bay to Manoel Island. I go to the childless to pick up some gear and the boat gets a jolly good tidy up why because Cindy is on her way back....
Is Your Boat’s Shore Power Safe?
Have you ever plugged your boat into shore power and simply assumed everything was safe? After an electrical fault aboard SV Impavidus, I decided to investigate exactly how marina shore power works, what reverse polarity actually means, and whether our boats are really as well protected as we think...

After a slight navigational detour leaving the harbour to avoid a restricted area, the day quickly turned into one of those passages we all dream about. A spectacular sunris...
