This system cost more than average boat. Nice to have tho

Erik, do you have a clear view forward when the headsail is set to starboard? Cool gear; But it also costs €6,759.00 without the cable and switch. Plus another €480 for the Scanstrut Mast Mount.

Would it pick up a submerged shipping container?

What is your power consumption for all these instruments?

Erik, thanks for the review. It's an amazing system.

NO. Because we are human. Someone will switch it off, spill liquid on it or blow a fuse and never look to see why its off. How many more things do we need to nanny a crew, GPS AIS many other boat monstering systems working through different variant of NEMA.

Brilliant…..

The only thing missing is the ejector seat.

problem is that it's still chart based..... so you won't hear uncharted bommies

in case you are not aware, you seem to have a cotter pin on your backstay which is not properly inserted. Noticed it as you swung camera passed as you are explaining anchorage and return test. Best regards.

Thanks for sharing

such a great video

Nice that it networks with your existing Raymarine equipment via their network backbone. Plus it uses bathymetric data from your depth sounder, so basically it reads the chart data for obstacles and the sonar for depth. I remember that accident during the Volvo OceanRace. I guess they didn’t have their charts zoomed in close enough for it to show the reef that they hit. Human error for sure, but I wonder if your system uses all the data layers available on Vector charts, even if you’re not zoomed in closely on that chart…

Aanderått :D

You didn't just neck Bhunnahabhain as a shot hahahaha

good luck Erik! I will be attentive to the news. Hug from Argentina South America!

Couldn't the system go one step further, and in the event of extreme danger and action by the crew, steer the boat away from the obstacle using autopilot and even egine controls? It could compute the less dangerous heading. Maybe sone law restrictions here, as this would be loke some IA being able to cibtrol de boat, but, probably for a v2.0 in the next years (if it is not done already...) I can envision IAs specially trained to control boats, even sailing yatchs, being able to accept natural voice commands, and answering in natural language, and even being able to optimize the sail trimming automatically, on those yatch with full push-button sail controls.

hitting large flotsam was always my biggest fear on longer passages (tiny probability I realise) - I wonder if this could be integrated with a forward scanning sonar to warn against that?

Hi Erik, nice sailing ! Love your adventures and videos ! Simple tech question : are you happy with these folding winch handles? Thank you ! Gregoire

hello what is the brand of your boat ....thank you

Terrain.....pull up pull up !

Нихуj вас качнуло, вы там аккуратнее.

great video but i'm not sure 30 seconds is enough ! Love your videos, awesome stuff

From the engineering perspective, this is a very nice system with lots of potential for sure. From the sailing perspective, it does give me some mixed feelings..as in, at what point do we become so dependent on technology that 'seamanship' becomes redundant because the electronics do it all for us? And what happens if, after becoming so dependent on it, the technology suddenly stops working for whatever reason? Then again I had seen ads for this system and it was very intetesting to actually see it in action, so thanks for that, Erik. :)

Thank you Erik, I love your down to earth video presentations with all the necessary information imparted. go you good thing. 👍 from Australia

Very good Episode

So, great , but is there a switch(es) that overrides the system? During daytime not all is required.

Connect to radar to track and see ice…?

Yikes. When he goes up to get engine on, in the dark, with not gear or LJ on...

How does it preforme to moving obstacles? Radar/ais data? Great review on stationary objects 👍🏻 Love your Chanel! God tur til Grønland 👊🏻

I usually use a handwounded eggscookeralarm to stay awake or getting awaked when i take a nap……..

I like the Vestas Example 😂. Thanks…

Hello from Australia. I enjoy your shoes.😁

6:52 fyi the backstay splitpen doesn't look secured.

An obvious omission of the Watchit web site is the unit cost. That could have been included in the FAQ you provided for the firm Eric. Also I wonder how would it cope with weed such as kelp? It can be a serious hazard.

Woooow. 😮 craziness. Amazing how these boats roll so much but don't go over 😮😅

Watchit needs to be a standard feature on all boats. Even when there are multiple people aboard, accidents still happen. I like that you are open to safety features now, Erik. You were KILLING me with stress when I would watch your other videos! I only watched because your cinematography is impeccable, my friend.

GRENLAND !!! YAY !!! .... it is very good to have that peace of mind allotted by the collision alarm system.

Very cool! The next step would have a system connected to the boats rudder that makes it take aversive action. Not sure how I like that idea though, it's like self driving cars, they wierd me out.

Mucha suerte Erik en este nuevo intento, muchos éxitos !!!!!!

After hearing the Siren i was waiting for "pull up, pull up"

I have several of your long-sleeved and short sleeved T-shirts, but I love the one you are wearing in this video with the sword down the back and the Norwegian flag on the sleeve. Unfortunately, this is not the one available in the online store. The only one available does not have the Norwegian flag on the arm of NBJS on the other

When I was young I wanted a catamaran, but the older I get the better I think a sailing boat is if want to do crossings. Catamarans I think is great for costal sailing.

That was cool! I intend to solo sail next year over some vast distances and I only asked if there was something on the market like this last week on my channel. And what do you know, Erik, to the rescue! We had an auto pilot that had an occassional glitch, and it would be great if watchit could keep an eye on the course whilst i slept too... So I have one question: Can Watchit be set to let you know when you are going off-course?

Greenland here we come'!

Eric has some mean video skill! I love this show.

Will the next version go full Airbus and turn you away from the obstacles?

Nice. Will definitely invest in system: need another boat first;)

Good luck with Greenland trip.
