Carbon Fiber Hardtop Bimini: The Ultimate Rain Catcher and Solar Power for Our Sailboat (9)
Building a custom bespoke carbon fiber bimini seems like a great idea. We have a Beneteau 49 sailboat and the bimini is falling off, so why not! This is the first step in the ACTUAL hardtop, everything leading up to this point.
Shorter episode because well, the next one is exciting :-)

It seems like a great idea, build custom carbon fiber legs, for our sailboat! Also, carbon fiberglass dodger arch, mainsheet arch traveler combo contraption. Stick with me while I catch you up to speed on Eva, it's been a LOT of epoxy :-) Sit back enjoy and subscribe!

Billowing Smoke - Broken Turbocharger - But at least it got upgraded electronics! (6)
Просмотров 49 тыс.4 месяца назад
Putting on a Smoke Show for the Marina wasn't planned for today. We worked to get the new Arco Zeus up and running, and it is a beautiful piece of kit. But something we realized while testing, when I brought the throttle up to the higher RPM's was, well there weren't any higher RPM's. Just smoke. So let's pull the #turbo and see what's going on. I realize I did a pretty poor job and telling you...

Let the Project BEGIN!! Our First Time with CARBON FIBER (3)
Просмотров 58 тыс.6 месяцев назад
They make it look so easy online! But really this carbon fiber stuff is slick looking! Wetted out nicely and only had to fight it a little bit. Still haven't perfected the vacuum bagging part, had a tiny little leak but definitely better than a wet layup! @ExpeditionEngineering Thanks for the love and support everyone - please make sure you subscribe so we can make sure this channel sticks arou...

Просмотров 58 тыс.6 месяцев назад
We're embarking on the ultimate expedition enclosure and we're so stoked. Bust out the saws and ear plugs, we're going to DIY our way through this one like always. I know you're all on the edge of your seats waiting to know what happens next with the washing machine and batteries and I PROMISE I won't make you wait much longer :-) Thanks for the love and support everyone - please make sure you ...
I Came THIS CLOSE To Conquering All Four Projects (1)
Просмотров 54 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Welcome to @ExpeditionEngineering Everyone!!!! I am SO proud of you finding your way here. We're on a journey to fix EVERYTHING on this boat Eva and it starts today. And I come THIS CLOSE to conquering all four. But alas. But really the goal was to sort out the problems with out #lithium battery bank. Because we're in the process of installing an #induction cooktop along with a @NinjaKitchenUS ...
Question: where do you do all these works? Do you have a trusted contractor?
Watched every video on both channels once I found yall... whens the next video coming? Waiting impatiently😁
Where are you guys? Haven’t seen you in either of your sites in over a month. What gives? I miss you.
Awesome episode!!!
I admire your effort but I think you should cut your loss. I don't see how this is going to work. If you hang an inflatable from it and then heal over you will get a lot of sideways stress that will be transferred to the deck by what looks like 2 inches. Think of it as a 5 foot crow bar! How are you expecting this setup to handle the sideways stress of a pounding sea on a heal?
🤔🤨🙄
What will be the dementions be when it finished ?
Looking to see the finished product. Bet it will be great. You guys work great together.
You can add paint to epoxy to make marbled glossy colors like the one Jade made with the nail paint. There's a lot of RUclipsrs who make fake marble countertops and shower enclosures with this method. It's beautiful, quick, cheap, easy, lightweight.
You can just wrap it with cheap regular vinyl film wrap, like what's used on car wraps, to cover your amateur non-prepreg carbon fiber part. Then it's waterproof, lightweight, and beautiful. Super easy fix and every color you could ever imagine, glossy or matte or whatever you please just like car wraps.
Have you thought about making a Stainless plate to epoxy iin the base asa washer to hold bolts in place and spread the load?
Love watching ya'll's engineering vids. Can't wait for another. It's been 2 weeks already. When will the next one come out? 1/2 million followers are anxiously waiting...Rock on!! ~One love
HORRIBLE MAINTENANCE,now that I have everyone's attention. This is for people who have sailboats,what I see is a motor that is way over fueled. Go on a VW tdi site and look for how to clean your injectors and after that go to a country that has a certified mechanic that knows how to run the rack on the injector pump. most of you are in places that are considered third world counties, just because someone said that they know how to work on a motor does not mean they can do it correctly. everybody should look up their engine and familiarize themselves in case of problems that are a simple fix or at least keep from getting raped by some of these so called mechanics. Remember AAA does not go everywhere.
What's with the gag inducing posturing at 0:30 ?
It looks like a wing. Have you engineering in the load at hurricane force winds?
random question since I love your videos but know less than nothing about sailing...will the new hardtop compromise the stability of the boat as far as wind goes?
You should watch videos from Spear It Animal channel. They have same boat class and added a new hard top like that, but they raised their boom to get it higher so more room to stand under. Also added a stripper pole on top lol.
Geez man, you need to learn how to properly set the outhaul. This has bothered me going back to your first sails. You set the main with far too much depth. You need to put some tell-tales on the leech, and set the outhaul and boom to have full flow over the main. As you have it, the entire back half of the main will be stalled *all the time*. And that is just drag.
Next project - passerelle!
I'm so impressed with your engineering skills, a little confused over the waffling effect, yet am positive!
"Words are hard" LOVE THAT Saying and use it all the time! It's a common saying that another youtuber I love to watch uses and has actually started making merch of it. @evanandkatlyn <3
I am so happy for you both. So excited to see the progress. Some day soon, I hope to be sailing.
Looks good. Hopefully is all works out for you. Keeping the weight low is a thing on those boats.
I love your approach to problem solving! (Maybe that should be "approaches" as you have tackled MANY problems!). Kudos!
VERY INFORMATIVE! Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Removing that peel ply looks almost as fun as picking a scab.
SO INFORMATIVE!!
Thanks for the support for my little island of Grenada 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
Comment, commenty comment, algorithm balborithm, YOU GUYS ROCK!
CONCERN CONCERN!!!! Bret, your bolts on your Carbon Fiber wings attachment to the boat, need a metal stock plate that you screw into. Inside your wing and under your boat fiberglass. Currently you have a 1.5" washer/bolt. Over time those fibers are going to wear. Take anything plastic and move it back and forth enough times and you will have 2 pieces. Same theory with your 2 bolt holes for your carbon wings.
Now that I am aware of the second channel, let the binging begin. While working .. of course..
SO EXCITING
This learning curve hasn’t been steep, been vertical! You guys are amazing. Love the MacGyver factor as well as your planning and execution. ❤
🧗
kind of reminds me of Spear it animal's Hard top project a few months ago.
How has Jade been feeling? She really looks like she has concurred her bout with her earlier sickness. Love watching ALL your videos ever since beginning. LET’S
Good on you for helping the recovery y in Grenada!
Thanks for sharing the Rise Grenada link & making me aware of what is going on down there. I believe they need help now, so will donate before the live stream this weekend. Hope they can rebuild soon with everyone’s help
👍👍👍👍👍
You 2 are awesome! have been watching form the beginning - if I need someone to do fiberglass, I'm call you 2!
I originally thought yall were replacing the Bimini with a hard top as well.
As I got older I had the odd Senior moment. Now I have the odd Junior moment. It’s all to easy to get your mords wuddled at times.
Mould, mold in the USA, go girl !
HEY! Doing 2 channels while trying to build, modify, and repair a boat is probably too much...but now I know why I lost track of you on Expedition Evans! You are probably drawing this same conclusion! FIGHT ON!! Keep at it - I thoroughly enjoy you two and all that you do.
THIS IS GREAT!! I LOVE the methodology to problem solving! Looking forward to more!
👍👍👍
Impressive. Can't wait 2 c the final product installation. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic project progress! Great job! Mold/mould/moulde is a tough word
Been missing you guys! Sorry - I'm a bit slow with tech, and somehow skipped this channel!
Love your work. Keep going.
