I tried to reuse a cotter pin, it broke on the THIRD time while removing it ~ I think there are more variables involved to simply conclude that the 487 times in your test has any relevance to real world applications... I would HIGHLY suggest using a new one EVERY TIME unless it's on a one time use project/disposable item.

CQR!

Here's a conundrum we sail Cornish Pilot Gigs two masts main and much smaller mizzen, Lug rigged the only stay is on the main and changes sides with the lug. Mizzen mast is through the cox'n s seat stern hung rudder. Not considered a yawl.

You two are doing a great job with your channel. I've watched several of your videos. I just bought my sailboat. I noticed from one of your old videos that you stayed within line of sight of my marina. I'll be at Oriental Harbor Village Marina:) Cannot wait to begin the journey...

Converting a Sloop to a Cutter is called a Slutter conversion

So I'm 10 minutes into a 14-minute video titled "Monitor Windvane Explained," and I have yet to see or hear basically anything about how a monitor works.

Thanks for the clear explanation!

Hank on jibs can also be reefed.....Consult your sailmaker.....

Thank you, totally makes sense and I think you just saved me some money.

Island Packet is the best blue water ....full keel is a must and the layout is a very solid for upkeep and fulltime living. Being a true all American build it's overbuilt and over engineered.

Thanks, very simple and practical method, much easy then classic splicing.

Awesome video! Extremely helpful. Thanks!

Very good explanation but you should also include in this context the 3/4 or 7/8 rigged sloops which share some features with cutters (like backstays). They are quite common.

Why no sock made from crimp-hose over that part that goes true the hole. Make sure it doesn’t fray at the first time

Ikea realised this was very handy and subsequently changed the voltage to 24V. They will have nothi,ng to do with people who make use of their products.

That trip has to be scary at certain moments. Well done land Mass to land mass.. for continent to continent.

Papagaios de contrabando??

Same here although I do like my electric self steering as well. I went for the beautiful windvane, the CapeHorn. What I do like a lot as well are the foldable winch handles. So easy to be able to let them on the winch while tacking.

Some of your most ridiculous work. Others have covered its ridiculousness in the comments, suffice to say, just because you have a hypothesis doesn’t make it so.

Isnt compression no longer an issue ?

What material is used for the backplates?

I knew that a cutter had the mast at 50%, BUT in the hey day of the cutter they had bowsprits. Does that figure into the number.

Thanks you two. As always … informative and no b.s. chatter blah,blah… Nature’s Compost seems pricey. Seems one could use a simpler type DIY and use a garden trowel to “stir.” Another sailor I met just used a Home Depot bucket and added a standard toilet seat. (I think she pees in a different type container?).

In my next life, I'll build a cuttoop - mast exactly at 60/40 point!

If you drilled many holes in the boat, had a bad whoopsie, and the boat still floats and you felt joyful in the end ... call it 100% a success

I agree …. Great content no need for background music.

Ok ok, this drilling has to be perfect ... let me do it in dark real quick :D (no worries, we have all been there)

Looking great! Bummer to see the rain affected the cure on the polyester resin but at least you didn't need to remove it and start over!

Great video! I have some catching up to do on your videos

I’ve always heard that backing plates should have rounded corners to reduce pinpoint stress points. Any reason you didn’t round them?

Shouldn’t you have drilled oversize holes so that you could fill them with epoxy, then re-drills the size hole you want so that the perimeter of the hole is all epoxy and won’t rot out the area of the hole you drilled?

You forgot to mention a headsail foil which is like a hank but has a groove or even 2 grooves like a furling genoa. To be seen a lot on racing boats. The foil double foil allows for really quick sail changes. We used to do it during a tack sometimes.

👍👍👍

Wow, that is a really awesome boat! I feel as if the previous owner took good care of it. It is amazing to be able to get out on such a light budget, and with a lot of style.

Re: Dull drill bit. That's what you get for not using pilot holes. BTW - It would be quicker to sharpen the bit than to buy a new one. A useful skill that you may need, when the nearest hardware store is several days away.

Those are some beefy looking chain plates. Pretty friggin cool there bud.

👍👍👍👍👍

The music that caught my attention reminded me of the music from "Master and Commander". I liked it.

I must have missed the reason to not go with Carbon Fibre?

I suddenly like Bronze ( or is it Brass ) chainplates better than Stainless. My friend who did the job used Stainless and he sure couldn't drill through it like that. Personally I prefer using spacers to keep 2 surfaces parallel. Whenever I just use measurements I somehow screw up one hole. Oh my tip with cordless tools on the boat is they are cheap. Then if they fall in or are stolen you don't feel as bad.

I’d love external chainplates on my Tayana37! I wish we had a local Baltimore meetup to hangout with other blue water sailboat owners!

Happy Father's Day, Herby! Nice work. Reading the comments, wow, it seems like bronze attracts trolls! Lol. I enjoyed the video. Were you using cobalt drill bits? They're much better than high speed steel and stay sharp longer.

nice plates

How long did the motor last until it died?

Happy Day to You 😜Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

I really love the external chain plates. I think that was such a good decision. Always learning something new from your videos.
