Thanks for posting this.
Hello, which brand acrylic did you use, and how ir works?
Hi Fernando. I’d have to go back to the supplier to get an actual brand. It was just one of many they had in stock at a local plastics business. All the windows are still secure, clear, leak free and looking good.
3 years later, would you have done anything different? Was acrylic the best material to use? Great video by the way!
Thanks Brock. No leaks no movement. The windows are still nice and clear. I wouldn’t do anything different
Great video guys and terrific looking trip thx for posting from Sailing Momentum & Great Coffee.😅
Thanks for the comment. What are your plans beyond Momemtum?
Great 'landing' at the end!
Thanks - great crew!
its been 3 years. how is it holding up?
Hi Mark. No movement, no leaks - so far so good!
Nice. What’s the boat hook you’re using in this video as well as the mooring one? You should set up an affiliate link.
Standard aluminium extendable boat hook. I use a bespoke (home made) attachment for the spring and a modified eBay product for the rope threader. I’ll make and post a short to explain.
Probably quicker to email me at svtbline(at)gmail.com and I’ll send a photo or two
Wow this is some great camerawork. Do you mind sharing what your drone and other camera setup is?
Thanks for the feedback John. DJI Mini (original) using Litchi software which has some very useful follow modes. INSTA 360 ONE x2. Some iPhone 14. FCP-X for editing.
I’m picking up my new to me boat in Plymouth. It’s taken a lot sailing with Sailablity for 3 years & courses. This video this is one reason why we do this. Thank you
Thanks Chris. Congratulations on the “new” boat and the journey to get to this point - what did you buy?
@@bottomline4284 sorry late reply I’ve gone for a Fisher 25 there is something a little bit different & special about them & safe & with a good strong engine
Just found your channel - very much like the simplicity the sailing and complete lack of drama 😉
Thank you - appreciate the feedback!
nice drone footage single handed mate👍
Thanks. Litchi software - a number of useful modes. Cheers
Great video but I wonder at the decision to fill the screw holes. Surely screws there for for a reason? Great adhesion but would this be sufficient to withstand the marine environment long-term?
Thanks for the feedback. Good question re long term resilience. I’ve taken this approach having read reports of the marine industry on the east coast (Australia) using VHB tape and no screws in many new build boats. The commercial building industry also use it even for skyscraper windows. The new windows on this boat have lasted three complete seasons (summer and winter (cruising and racing) with no adhesion issues or leaks. Time will tell I guess. Cheers
Also windshields on cars are attached this way…
Nicely done !
❤
Just watched your video. Really enjoyed it. You would have seen a few RSAYS boats at Black Point that weekend. We were involved at the SAWKR taking spectators out but would have loved to do that trip. We are SV Shanti, a Jeanneau 39DS. We have AIS so hopefully one day we might cross paths. Cheers,
Thanks David. Look forward to seeing you out on the Gulf!
Anna, yes. I now have Dollface in the West Basin of CYC. As far as info, I like distance, time, that sort of thing. Truly first-rate video.
Absolutely excellent video! Remarkable quality, although not much info.
Hi Kelly. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video - what sort of additional information would you like to have seen? Were you sailing S/Y Anna in the pacific a few years back?
Having never sailed before, but having a growing urge to explore the SA coast lines and gulfs... This video is dangerous, to my wallet and my marriage! I hope to buy a boat one day and enjoy the rugged beauty of SAs coast.
Thanks for the feedback! SA is a great cruising ground, and yes, sailing around it is addictive! If you are keen to get into sailing, local clubs have intro and advanced training options (eg: cycsa.com.au/learn-to-sail/). I know of at least one couple who completed some training and went on to buy a boat in Qld and sail it back. Cheers
Nice job on the fridge, just had mine done. Where did u get your plastic baskets from?
Thanks for the feedback. Baskets were from Kmart. Extra holes drilled in the bases to help air circulation.
I'm just planning to relocate the heads on a Adams13. Love the idea of gravity drain to sea, great schematics and the whole project looks to be of a very high standard. I can see myself revisiting this video as a source of reference. Thankyou.
Great video! Very clear and concise. This project is coming up for me. Thanks for making this.
Bro patent it and start 3d printing, great idea!
Really great video and nice shots of the set up. What downhaul are you using as the innerstay the sail is hanked on to in the bag?
Dyneema stay connected to the spinnaker downhaul which runs through a block attached to a deck fitting strengthened with a beam under the deck. The sail is hanked on and stowed in the bag with the line running forward to the block and then back to cockpit.
Looks awesome. Have you got much feedback on how the windows have performed after 2 years?
Still in place and leak free!
I've just tried this on one of four windows I need to sort out. Only difference was I used sikaflex. After a week of installation, I'm seeing a problem. Where the sika flex meets the VHT painted surface, it is causing the paint to separate from the Perspex. This is happening up, so difficult to explain fully, but it seems that the sikaflex is reacting with the paint. No problem on the bond between VHB tape and paint though. I used 291i because I had a tube and was waiting for 295uv to arrive. Maybe this is the difference, but I think this first window is going to fail.
@john Wilde Can you follow-up on the other windows you did? I will be installing new windows later this year and I want to know if the sikaflex was the problem or the paint you used?
@@jordimuller8521 hi. So I did complete all of the other windows, but I decided to sand back the painted surround where the sikaflex was going to be applied, allowing it to create a seal directly on to the Perspex - but left it where the VHB was bonding to retain the UV protection. I used black 295uv for this and from the finished side, it was almost impossible to see the difference between the unpainted sikaflex and painting area. I went back to the first window and scrapped out some of the sika from the worst areas and reapplied it - this time using 295uv. For that first window I was using white sika 291i and I still think this reacted with that VHT paint. Having said that, it and all other windows have been water tight. They have survived the flexing while the boat was craned back in in April and I've been for a couple of sails. However, should note that my standing rigging attaches to the hull stringers, so don't apply much load to coach roof. Also- the coach roof my boat is pretty stiff (being old 80s lay-up). So far I am very happy with. Just having no leaks it nice.
Snug Bay looks beautiful and SNUG - could stay there a while. Great boat and crew handling on your return to the berth - good show!
I definitely need to bring my trailer sailer to SA. Looks like a fantastic place to explore.
It is a great region - well worth the visit! The local trailer sailer association has organised trips there in the past so may be worth consulting when you come. www.tsasa.net/events/55908/
@@bottomline4284 thanks. Great info.
Great video: very inspiring!
Thank you! Awesome region to cruise
We’re you guys in port Vincent this weekend coming from wirina?
Not The Bottom Line I’m afraid. Enjoy Port Vincent
What is the UV rating of that double sided tape. How long could that possibly last?
I’m sure 3M will have UV specs on a PDS but it is designed for exterior glazing work. www.3m.com.au/3M/en_AU/p/d/b40065672/

@@bottomline4284 That is more than I thought. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful clean lines on your yacht. I have a Cole 23 (also a Northshore product) and I can see the similarities although much smaller.
Many thanks to the producer of this excellent instructional video, I have followed this method using the exact same VHB tape in changing the windows on my 1979 Leisure 27 sailing boat with no problems apart from having to dodge the heavy rain showers here in Uk. I used 5mm dark grey tinted acrylic and the results are fantastic.
but you did not screws your new windows, just tape it?
Correct
@@bottomline4284 oh wow and the windows gonna hold? Lol i don't know if i should do that i have a 1983 jeanneau 30 ft
@@sunsriseinvestment so far they’ve survived two summers and winters, two racing seasons and several cruises without an issue. At the end of the day you should do what you feel comfortable with. Cheers
@@bottomline4284 right, the problem is my windows are super long like 20 inches large and 6ft long at least 🤣
Great video - We went across on a night sail to Black Point in our Duncanson 29 in mid-August then back next morning. Always surprises me how few boats are out over winter when forecast is good
I used two house size 330 watt panels as the targa roof with aluminium flat bar riveted to londitdinal sides of panels for a bit of added strength.Rigid solar panels have far greater longevity and no need to fabricate a roof!
Much appreciated. Great concise video.
Really nice work. That new vanity setup looks fresh and modern. I have similar void under the vanity which I think could be used for the holding tank. Thanks for sharing your setup, given me ideas,
All the best with your installation!
Another great example of how to get the job without any fuss, satisfaction immeasurable! Thanks
Great job of the installation. I am the new owner of a NS38 based in Hobart and would like upgrade to the same. Is there anything you would do differently in hindsight? I wonder if we could have a discussion at some point. Cheers Danny
Hi Danny. Congratulations on becoming a NS38 owner! At this stage the only thing I can say I would do differently would be to have made the upgrade far sooner - it has transformed the boat and made longer short-handed trips viable. Very happy with the B&G system and happy to discuss if you have any questions. Cheers.
If you are not already a member the Northshore Owners FB group is worth joining. Active membership happy to compare notes. facebook.com/groups/NorthshoreOwnersGroup/?ref=share
Many thanks for the reply, thank you for your insight. I will upgrade during the winter months and look forward to the improvements. I have a list of contacts of NS 38 owners in Tasmania but wii join the FB group Cheers Danny
5:44 even a visit of an UFO haha
I did my small cabinboat exaxtly like this. 6mm acrylic. Much better than before with the plexiglass like the old system in cars. It was loose inside this and now with this strong tape and Polymer its strong as h*ll haha. Txn for sharing this!
Thanks for the video. What type/brand of drain valve did you use?
Hi Chris. Under the holding tank is a PVC ball valve (Philmac) from the local hardware store irrigation section. About AUD $30. It attaches to the bottom of the tank via a through hull fitting. The other valve in the system is a Jabsco Y valve to send waste directly overboard or to the tank.
Is there a materials list for this video???
Hi Chuck. No materials list but happy to answer a few questions. Cheers
What about having a 2:1 on that downhall? Through a block on the dyneema forestay then back down to the deck.
Hi Jack. That would certainly work. To date tension via the winch has seemed adequate. Will be using the stay for a staysail this winter so will see if more tension is required. Cheers
Beautiful. I'm thinking of replacing my aluminium framed deadlights using this 3M VHB tape. Do you think it will withstand boarding waves?
I have no experience with deadlights so can’t really offer an opinion. My initial thoughts from pictures would be that they are heavier than plain acrylic and sit proud of the mounting surface. Both the weight and surfaces that could be caught by waves may not be a good combination for the tape but as I say, no experience on this one. Sorry.
Ok well thanks for the response, I'll probably do this method anyway and just be prepared for emergency repairs.
I'm thinking of having the storm jib made with the stay sown in so I only need to hoist the stay and sail together, would upgrade the spinnaker pole halyard to dynema as well. Any thoughts.
It would certainly keep things simple. We opted for a seperate soft stay to have the option of a white staysail as an alternative in stronger winds that were stable and unlikely to reach storm force
@@bottomline4284 You happy with the tension you can get
@@gregorpopp4245 yes
Oh wow ! Love the targa - and how,lucky that Ron was available to do the s/s work!! I’ve been through the same process with the same chain plate ‘seals’ and loved the way you dealt with them. And I’d love to know what type of tint you used with the kiwigrip please. A really useful and inspirational video. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback. The colour is Dulux Tranquil Retreat.
Thanks. Water based acrylic tint presumably?
@@svserafina7356 Yes - same tint as Dulux water based acrylic. Bunnings will tint the KiwiGrip for a small fee. They make the point that they take no responsibility for how it turns out. I’ve had three batches done (2 x 1 litre and 1 x 4 litre) and each turned out fine.
Fantastic incredibly useful videos for any NS38 owner. Thank you. Totally agree about grey not suiting the boat and keeping the colour close to original.
How lucky are we here in North Haven? Great sunrises AND sunsets! Nice video
Hi like the look of your system, where on the top end of the mast do you attach the inner forestay and halyard. Very interested I have an NS38 in Brisbane Cyrene 3
I use the spinnaker pole uphaul as the storm jib halyard. The top end of the inner stay is removable and the fitting is located a few inches above the sheave for the spinnaker uphaul. With the deck fitting located just aft of the windlass the inner stay is roughly parallel to the forestay.
@@bottomline4284 Thank you, who made the bag
@@gregorpopp4245 the bag in the video is a prototype which I made out of shade cloth. The intention was to have a sail maker replicate it in canvas (or similar) but so far the prototype has worked fine so haven’t had another one made.
@@bottomline4284 thank you so much
Looks very difficult to get someone injured back on board, a great video and food for thought. Thank you
Thanks for that have been thinking of a similar system.
So are you using the existing spinnaker pole topping lift as a halyard with temporary inner forestay forces counteracted by the existing swept back lowers?
Hi Jules. Correct. Selden publish mast data that indicates that the vertical distance between the attachment for the soft stay and the lower stays (fractional rig so as you note the stays are swept aft) is within an acceptable range ie: no need for running back stays.
