Loved this video, got all the information I needed. Clear, engaging and enjoyable! Cheers mate

single line reefing cant go wrong

Why wouldn't you just magnaflux them?

Did you ever do a video on those rope fenders. Love to know how to make them.

The Count of Monte Cristo is awesome and good for at least a week of sailing, no?

That was helpful. I have a 2 burner alcohol stove on the IP i just got, no oven not gimbaled. Was thinking of upgrading to gas and gimbaled. the only thing I don't like about the stove I have other then not gimbaled is the fuel cost. At 9 to 10 bucks a quart using the gaskets I just learned about from you how long will it last? I will work with what I have and see because 400 bucks for a new gimbaled Origo 3000 is about 1/4 the cost of a complete gas conversion not to mention having to create a safe/legal propane locker. What do you burn in your cabin heater with no need for diesel or propane other than you outdoor grill. O and the screws backing out.. did you try some blue lock tight on them?

Beautiful !

My boat (a 1974 Dufour 35) has its stock entering the hull above the waterline. It was a major buying point for me. No freezing in winter and zero risk of sinking because of a rudder dropping out.

Just one thing, how you figure out the length need to be of dyneema before you attach to deck , before stretching ?

This 2p4s setup is rated at 200ah right? Bms is 120a. Meaning it can charge and discharge at a rate of 120a. Correct?

Yeah, I see a couple potential problems...

We have a better option for showers at sea. We bought a portable camping shower from Amazon ($33) for our cruising shower. It requires a charge (via USB) but the charge lasts for a long time. It has more pressure than the insecticide sprayer, doesn’t require a special purpose container, and takes up almost no space. We heat up fresh water in a sun shower bag, pour it into a standard bucket and hose down our salty bodies. Makes for a refreshing shower at sea.

Makes it look easy but it rarely is. I've done loads and only 70% come out ok. My top tip is its much easier with new, loose rope where there is some space between the cover and core. Old ,used super tight rope us almost impossible. I find .😊

Thank you so much it helped me so much!

The storm jib could still follow the naming rule if you switch to French.

It would be interesting if you could tell the difference in ringing between the SS chain plate with the suspected crack, and the ring of one that looked like it's not cracked. Theoretically, a crack would make the plate sound flatter. Probably would have to be clean though...

First rule of Engineering - No one knows if it is too strong.

What was your kvp and mas if you don't mind me asking

Great show very interesting

Great interview!!! Though the obvious advantage with a wooden hull for me is its aesthetic appeal even though the material isn’t the best.

I have a way to help prove or disprove the earth is a disk or spheroidal. I am a skipper and have an opportunity to to a vessal to antartic waters for 4 months. I can take the time to navigate from latitude to latitude at relative speed. I can record GPS, dead reconings, compass, and celestial and any other methode requested. If anybody would like to fund this data collection.😊 I am sure I can have witnesses and take footage. For a few hedred k/million we could probably carry enough fuel to aviod bad weather and circumnavigate the ice waĺl while we also hunt down illegal fishing.... anyone interested? With enough interest I will direct it to the ships owner!😅

the humankind lost a remarkable dentist

Leave it to a dentist to use a very expensive drill to do the same thing the rest of us would do with a chamfering bit on the end of a cordless drill. I might have even used a deburring tool on bronze to get the same results in a fraction of the time. But, those shots and music with the dental drill looked a lot cooler than what I could have done.

your own invention? are you on drugs?

Which Grease?

Another awesome video Herbie, could you share the company you got your bronze from in PA? I'm replacing my rudder gudgeons this year....

I recommend chamfering the bottom edge and using countersunk bolts. I didn’t when I switched to external chainplates and the sheets catching on them is so annoying. I ended up fairing over them with epoxy but its ugly.

Thanks for muting the sound of the drill😅

Did you xray the bronze ones for a benchmark? Thank you

Great video. I have been following your progress on the chain plates with great interest

This was awesome. I'll have 8 bad chainplates to play with in a few months.

Good job. Looks like that crimper has seen better days though..😅

A cheap counter sink bit would make perfect bevels around your holes and would take one second per bevel.

Personally, I would never have chamfered the bolt holes by hand with a dental drill. The chamfering is uneven and produced sharp edges, both of which are highly undesirable.

You would never get this many views if you weren't mocking people with a controversial worldview, stop riding the coattails of something you hate. You should be thinking God everyday for the flat Earth otherwise you'd never have 47,000 views on one video. Take the video down or give proper credit to your success. You're just being exploitative. Unappreciative prick

2 words. Nikon 900. You'll brush it off with some bullshit because you can't explain it. Obviously a documentary on Netflix is going to be made to sensationalize one extreme or the other, if you're going to base The credibility of your knowledge upon a documentary on Netflix, not only is it sad but you also naive and pathetic. Also your experience has zero credibility because obviously what u see or feel isnt what's really going. You say we're moving and it's a globe and all this, but a neutral observer would not say we are moving, so just because you think you have sailed around the earth doesn't mean fucking thing because what you think you're seeing isn't really what's happening. You're contradicting yourself and you don't even know it. Watch out we got Mensa alumni over here

What's really sad is a couple of smug, condescending cunts who think they know more than everybody else. You don't know shit.

Doc, why do my teeth taste like copper after getting a filling?

Your new chain plates do not have the rigging attachment end angled to align with the standing rigging. Won’t this put a misalignment between the chain plate and standing rigging?

Bevel and polish the edges of the drilled holes to reduce sharp edges. Sharp edges are stress risers in metal for cracking. The bevel will also retain Butyl bedding compound around the bolt and plate interface.

Sponsor me into the illuminati 😂 🧱

👍👍👍

Always wondered if x-ray would show chainplate issues. They use it to inspect the spars on the Beech 18. Another idea might be eddy current testing. They use it on aircraft propellers to find micro cracks. I like the idea of beveling the holes to better bed the butyl but a counter sink would make nicer work of it.

The closeup work with your dental drill is fascinating. What is the RPM of the drill? What metal is the bit? Was the bit a standard bit used when drilling a tooth? Thanks for your time. :¬) Webhead USA

Of course since your stainless chainplates lasted around 40 years or more, you could have simply replaced them with new stainless and likely gotten another 30-40 years out of them. Presumably the original chainplates were made from 304 stainless. In that case upgrading to 316 would give them a even longer life since 316 is significantly less susceptible to crevice corrosion and corrosion in general than 304.. Even though 316 stainless is more expensive than 304, 316 is significantly cheaper than silicone bronze (likely less than half the cost of bronze) and generally much easier to find. Then there are the fasteners. 316 stainless bolts are much cheaper than silicon bronze bolts.

Just use a little trig to find the angles Herbie. Right angle(ish) from the base of the mast. You have mast height. Angle will not change (similar triangles). You will be +/_ a a degree or 2, should be fine.

Alas but I tossed my cracked chain plates. They would have been perfect for you to test. My father was a professor of metallurgy and he suggested to ring each piece. Hang it by a fine thread and tap with a hammer or similar. A good piece will ring nicely. Anything with a crack will sound dull. I'm curious if your one suspect chainplate might ring differently than the others. Mine did.

If i might make a suggestion ... what you did with the dental drill will work, but if you used a a carbon steel fostner bit you could create an actual shoulder to fill with Butyl tape with an even circular shape and a flat bottom. This would in effect create a natural Butyl washer once the chainplate was attached and tightened to correct specifications. You can order the bits through Grainger.
