Thanks you. We'll see how it all looks in the spring. Thanks for commenting.

Yessir. Purchased by a friend of mine to start his sailing journey. Thanks for commenting.

@@newfoundsailing well good on ye for making the sale! Hope it got you a bit ahead.

I agree that the transom is probably the best place for the exhaust. I might end up putting it back the ultimately for ease of refuelling too, since I don't have a diesel engine and therefore no tank except the small one one the heater itself. I'll check out that location. Thanks.

Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing this boat on the water all spruced up. thanks for commenting. Take care.

Nice to hear from you in Marystown. Thank you.

Thank you. It's one of the better viruses going around lol. Good to hear from you.

Also I thought it maybe higher vibration, yet i looked it up and this is the response "These engines ( 4 stroke) are quieter and produce less vibration because they don't fire as much as two-stroke engines. "

The way it was explained to me is that it's not just the weight of the 4stroke, it's also the torque. Now I have no idea what that actually means, and a 2stroke bracket would have probably been fine. However, I was putting a brand new 2000$ engine on it so I didn't want to take any chances. I opted to go with what was specified for my motor. As for the 5hp, I think it would move it in and out of the marina, but I'd feel better with at leas the 8hp in case I ever had to bring the bow around in a bit of wind. The 8hp pushes my boat at about the same speed as the original inboard engine did (5.5 ish knots). I think the 5hp sail drive has a different prop and has more push, so it might be fine. I guess you'd have to try it to be sure. Thanks for commenting. I hope this helps.

Do you have a Bayfield 23/25?

@@newfoundsailing No, a Sandpiper (1300pounds) with a new 5 horse mercury sail drive. I gave that boat to my son and they use an electric trolling motor instead of the new gas engine, so I have a new sail drive motor 5 horse. I have looked a few Bayfield 23, 23/25, and the 25. all are about 3500 pounds. All have engines that are questionable and replacement is about $6,000.00 for a new engine on the low side. So I really want to purchase a Bayfield this summer to do some sailing on the great lakes, yet will not do it with the existing motors as I just do not trust them, the engines are all pushing 50 years and are beyond their reliability life span. I saw you are using a 6 not an 8 horse motor, and was wondering are you at full power? If you run an engine at 75% load it is happy, so if you are using your 6 at 50% load then my 5 at 75% is producing about the same thrust. My decades of sailing the sandpiper tells me that I would never sail with the motor dragging in water, so I would use a raising mount. I have asked my home insurance firm about insuring a Bayfield with an existing 6.5 or 8 horse desiel with a 5 horse backup kicker and they are not sure if they would provide insurance on an older boat built in 1975 to 1984 years, yet they are happt to insure my Sandpiper from the same period. They sat purchase the boat then we will decide about insurance, and that is why I have been on the fence with a Bayfield 25 purchase. Marina's will not lower the boat into the water without insurance.

@@brianferguson6278 Sorry, just seeing this now, You are correct. I have 6hp. Sorry about that. It pushes the boat at the same speed and the original Vire 7 2stroke engine.

Thanks for commenting. Good luck with your B29. From everything I hear they are fine boats. Funny you should ask about my B29, I just last evening secured new standing rigging for the it. I haven't done anything with the actual boat since I hoisted it out of the water last fall, but have been working on the engine and looking around for a few items that I know I'll need. I'll post an update video in the next couple of weeks. Thanks

What type of engine is in your boat?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I can see your concern with the fin keels etc., but this one is full, and sturdy as a tank. I understand BC is a beautiful place to sail with a much longer sailing season than here. All the best.

@@newfoundsailing Hello, yes my comment was more for all the peoplewatching your video with fin keels that might be at risk! Yep I sailed and races from Québec, Lake Ontario, USVI, but BC is definitely special 🙂. Fair wind.

So when on the hard what do they sit on? A full keel boat just sits on the keel and the supports on the side are to keep it upright. Do they need some kind of cradle?

@@danielboughton3624 I think this might refer to newer, fin keel types. I have no answer to your question as I have no knowledge about this. Maybe Coyotehello might have some information, or check with the manufacturer. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

@@newfoundsailing I have a full keel boat so I was curious. I don't think that I've seen fin keels in cradles but then I haven't paid much attention.

Yes, the engine was seized. I did get it unseized, but the valves etc. are a pretty good mess. I'm sure it can all be reconditioned, but I'm not sure if that's the route I'm going to go. It's a 12HP which might not be quite enough for the B29. I think later models were equipped with a 15HP. I have to check further into this though. I'm hoping to have the engine issue resolved by next spring so I can put it back together and launch. At this point I'm thinking I won't be reconditioning the YSM12. Thanks for commenting and for the starting motor mention; I'll keep it in mind.

@ kk

A submersed engine is not uncommon. I’d say regrind the valves and head, install a new injector , new starting motor and you will be good to go… Were you aware that there are 5 or 6 Bayfield 29’s at the yacht marina in Lewisporte. Lastly , no , a 12 hp engine is not too small for a Bayfield 29. The classic rule of thumb is 4hp per ton of boat weight. Lastly Nelson Dawe of Cupids once owned that boat, he is a great person, and a good mechanic, I would contact him if you need any advice.

@@edwardfinn4141 I was not aware. I'll have to get out to Lewisporte sometime to take a look around. I'll have to take the engine somewhere and get a good assessment of it. I'd say your right though. Where are you located?

@@newfoundsailing Carbonear.

I didn't know. Great information. It's very interesting to learn about how things are done in other parts of the world. We don't have huge tides here so the idea of a boat laying on the seabed isn't something we normally consider. In other places its a normal twice a day event. Thanks for the comment.

Agreed, the potential is there, but in this case it went ok. Need a soft, muddy beach so it just sinks in. Thanks for commenting.

@@newfoundsailing Note: Beaching legs are adjustable supports attached to the sides of a sailboat, designed to keep it upright when it rests on the seabed during low tide. They typically consist of sturdy metal or wooden legs, fastened to reinforced points on the hull. When the tide is high, these legs are removed or retracted to avoid interference with navigation, then reattached or adjusted when the tide goes out. These legs are particularly popular for sailboats that anchor or dock in tidal waters with significant fluctuations, like those in the UK, Northern Europe, and parts of Canada. Beaching legs are useful for maintenance, hull cleaning, and mooring in shallow tidal areas where the boat would otherwise tip onto its side. Example of a boat with beaching legs: The Cornish Crabber is a popular British sailboat model that often uses beaching legs, as it’s designed for use in shallow, tidal waters. Cornish Crabbers are known for their traditional design and practical features, making them well-suited for beaching. Some models come with bilge keels as an alternative, but beaching legs are commonly used as well.

Thanks for commenting. Sometime ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Gerald is old school; job done while everyone else (me included), is discussing how it should be done lol.

Haha. Thanks for taking the time to tell us that story. A nice memory for you too. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much for joining us. Glad to hear I'm not alone. We might have to start a support group haha.

I agree. The keel did drop though. Sorry I forgot to mention that in the video . Thanks

Thanks Scott.

Sorry about that. lol. Yes the keel did drop and retract freely.

Yes that's the boat. I did not know there was Contessa 26 here in this area. That's one of the boats I have admired for a long time. Sad if I missed it.

@@newfoundsailing it was on a trailer, located up behind the Harbour masters house, I forget the harbour masters name,,,, The contessa 26 was parked on the trailer up beside a large summer home, overlooking the Ocean… I didn’t see it in the water…

@@edwardfinn4141 Interesting. sadly, I don't know where it is now, nor have I ever heard anything about it. I'll keep my antenna up though. Thanks

I think that's a great idea. How long is your boat? In the old days, my grandfather would have used what we call a sculling oar. It would go out the back of the boat as well but would be probably 15 feet long depending on the size of boat. I like your idea.

Haha.. I didn't think of that lol.

Thanks so much. The 29 is still on the hard down at the marina. I'm going to try and get the old diesel engine rebuilt this winter. Maybe next summer she'll be back in the water. Take care.

I hope you get a Bayfield someday too. I'm fortunate to have one. Thanks for commenting.

Watched it excellent I didn’t miss me lol

The motor doesn't attach to the tiller. When the outboard is installed, adjust it so that its pushing the boat straight, and tighten (should be a tighter bolt on the shaft somewhere) so that the motor can't move side to side in the way that you'd normally turn the outboard to steer. the motor will push the boat straight and you use the tiller to steer like always. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question. BTW, the Vire is the same motor I removed from my boat. Mine still worked too, but it was very difficult to perform maintenance on. All the best.

You are very welcome. All the best with your install. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

Thanks so much. We'll check into it. All the best.

@@newfoundsailinghello, as the other user suggested, not only it have a hole on it but on a boat with longer exhaust line as you have there is no need of silencer, also the flow without it is much better and heater combistion will benefit. No boise at all, noise issue is with 50cm pipe mostly straight on cars or vans, on a boat when you have 1 meter or more with couple of bends the exhaust noise is non existent

Thanks so much. Hopefully we'll get a bit more content up over the next few weeks. Take care.

Yes I remember you folks. It was nice to meet you as well. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Newfoundland. Nice to hear from you and all the best.

That is indeed true. Moose were intentionally introduced via ship, to the island in the early 1900s I believe to provide another protein source for folks. Since then they've multiplied to substantial numbers... I think around 100,000 at some point (don't quote me lol). These days they are as a part of Newfoundlandia as anything else is. The down side is that they do wreak havoc on our highways as many people have been killed or injured due to collisions with them. Thanks for connecting. Take care

You guys still kissing the codfish? You know car vs moose was a big part of the plotline in the book"The Shipping News". Good read If you're into that... take care.​@@newfoundsailing

Thank you. Nice to hear from you. Take care.

Yessir it was a good day indeed.

Greetings to you from Newfoundland, Canada. You as well... . I have a 22' Sailmaster that I believe was designed in Demnark back in the 1960s; a future referb project. Thanks for connecting.

Thank you. I hope you're having an awesome day.

Not a bad idea. I guess more rope is better. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@newfoundsailing not more rope, I meant put the rope thru the eye a 2nd time… Making a double loop. Preventing chafe I think.

@@edwardfinn4141yes that’s an option for sure and I did have chaffing before I added some clear tubing to the Bow cable zero chafing ever since. Nice chatting with you and appreciate your ideas!

Good to hear from you. I remember my grandfather would, on occasion, bake salt pork buns. They were like raison tea buns with pork instead of raisons. I think it was the only thing I ever saw him cook or bake. I guess nan refused to make them for him lol.

Yes it was pretty good. bottled is probably the best way I like moose. Thanks.

This is something that we have talked about, but haven't gotten around to doing yet. It is a great idea. Will do. Thanks for the reminder.

Well now if you make it to Dildo drop by and say hello!

All the best in your travels. If you make it to Dildo, drop by the marina. One of us will probably be there for a chat. Take care.

They are exactly 60 inches long. Take care

Yes, same here. I think all 2 piece paddles are like that. It's ok if the water is warm lol. Take care.

Do you mean on the pump? If so, yes the attachments comes off easily and then its difficult to keep track of. I lost mine for a while. When I found it I attached it to the hose better. Take care.

Ahoy to you too...

27 here today great sailing weather!

It's good to try new things. 🙂
