Upgrading SV YOLOs Furler system...homemade
If that anchor isn't fixed to the deck it can fly off. It should all be in the anchor locker
Would you rather him piss on the boat??
Great solution. However, the way the jib is connected to the stay at the upper part of the must is not clear. Could you explain please with more detail?
Interesting design. SV YOLO is a small trailer sailer. What is the largest boat anyone has tried this DIY YOLO furling system on? Would it work for 25, 30, 35 foot sailboats?
well done
Great system, simple and affective. 'The KISS method, who says yachting is expensive.
Hi guys, nice video. Design and idea is great, one thing I notice is that forestay needs to go of for sail to be taken out. That would be the only safety issue i would see, besides long screws.
I'm going to add a canoe to the fleet sooner or later.
We've sailed for many years and have never been able to get back into these areas until we got the canoe. We are loving the ability to explore more.
Probably the best diy design ive seen. Only thing i would do is use shorter fastening screws to not risk them scoring the stay. Good job
Are you making sure not to screw through the forestay when you're putting all those screws through the pvc? If you make sure you don't go through the center you can miss the cable. You don't want to go through it or rub on it with your screws..
Only problem I see is the screw on the top of the spool ... if it comes in contact with the stay inside it could rub and fray the stay ... should have at least shortened the screw by grinding the point off of it.
Absolutely a great video that covers the whole process. Thank you very much. You guys are a hoot. Hopefully we’ll run into each other not literally someday lol in the wind 😎🤙🏼 Perry and Isabel Saint Augustine, Florida 18 foot Sanibel.
My gosh this is a much better video on making a roller furling , was hard to find a decent video on this , awesome instructions on making this , great job, thank you guys for sharing , thumbs up . 👍
Screws are too long. They can damage the stay as it all spins and the foot of the sail is held by just the pvc ?? What is the top attached to that allows the rotation?
I watched your video on the construction of your pvc roller furler. Being a retired shop teacher, I give you high marks on your presentation. In this video, I notice that the furler is still in operation. Could you please comment on any issues that you have encountered with the furler? What modifications, if any, would you suggest? Thanks for taking the time to make your videos.
great video
Thanks! We really enjoy making them. We're glad you liked it.
Sadly your sail is not on tension in this way
The shackle at the top of the sail pulls tight to attach over the PVC cap. It has tension, but its not adjustable while up.
cool I didn't know there was an abounded campground there
Hello all, has anyone on here done this system & can answer the questions that i have posted here ? If anyone can, I thank you !
Spacing of Hanks on my head sail is 12". As for your question regarding how the caps were attached, after putting the turnbuckle through them, l just simply glued along the edges of the 2" cap with PVC glue.
Thank you for the explanations ! The gluing of the 2" cap to the 4" cap makes perfect sense ! however ypur reply about the hank spacing of 12" apart does not seem rght to me because if your mast is 30' you would have approx 28 hanks but i can only see 4 or 5 of them in your vifeo. Please clarify this because i cannot afford 28 hanks.@@Adventures_4_Us
Hello, I posted 2 replies to your reply to my questions about your video but you must not have seen them in the reply section so i am making a new comment.I am sorry to be a pest but i am stuck in the middle of this project & am relying on your answers so please bear with me. I am wnting to know how many jib hanks are on your system & how long your mast is. my boat doesn't have jib hankz but rather a plastic luff with a slot in it that the luff tape slides through(the system went overboard ,long story) Also i asked about how the 2"cap attaches to the 4" cap at the bottom of the drum,not the top of the drum like you replied about. Also you don't show a hole in the bottom 2" cap or mention what size the hole is. Answers to these would help a bunch & thank you for replying !!
Sorry, one more question,how far apart did you space the hanks ?
Thanks for your question. We just matched the spacing to where the hanks are on the head sail. We did this just by measuring the distance between the hanks and notched out the holes on the pvc.
@@Adventures_4_Us Thank you for the reply ! My macgregor 25 has a luff tape sewn onto it& has no hanks on it because it had a cdi furler on it which got dropped overboard & could not be retrieved so I am attempting to duplicate your system but I need to know if you can please tell me how far apart yout hanks are spaced (approx.) Thanks again !
Hi, I don't recall the spacing, but I will look at it today and get back to you this afternoon
Hello,excellent video,thank you ! 2 questions please, at 1:48 of the video what attachs the cap to the 4" cap ? Also, how do you lower the head sail when it is attached to the headstay with the hanks ? Thanks again & I'll be looking forward to hearing back from you !
The part that attached to the 4" cap is a 1" glue to 1" threaded adapter that goes through the 4" cap and into the cap with the female thread on the inside. This furling system is made for a trailerable boat so it's meant to take on and off when the mast is lowered.
@@Adventures_4_Us Hi, I am sorry that I didn't ask my question more clearly. Also I posted the wrong time on the video. I am reffering to the 2" cap that you have in your hand @ 1:50 of the video & how does it attach to the 4"end cap that the furling line attaches to ? Thanks
Thank-you for sharing your work. Creative and resourceful.
Thank you for this
Great idea sir Works great too 👍
Great info great music great job very well done
Thanks for sharing this !! And well done !! 👍🏻😊 you got me thinking of doing this on my sailboat.😁
Hello from Florida. I just came across your video and was very intrigued. Your video is the most detailed of any home made furler video that I have seen, and would like to build one for my boat. But have a question. What happens to the jib halyard in the absence of a swivel when you furl and unfurl the jib. In your design it's connected to the head of the jib, so it will need to turn with the jib. Am I missing something?
I have the same question. If the jib halyard is supporting this whole rig, how is it attached. I want to build this but need an answer please.
@@50jim1 Looks like the jib halyard just twist a few turns. Perhaps a swivel at the end of the halyard would be the way to go.
I thought the same thing but found a better solution. I can not figure how to post a photo but will try to explain. I made a plate with a hole big enough for the pvc pipe to fit loosely. I attached a “U” shaped ring with nuts on both sides of the plate. I then slide the pipe though the plate and attached the pipe cap with 2 screws for future removal. I the attached the jib halyard to the ring and lifted the whole devise with the jib attached. I made another modification at the bottom caps. I first attached the line to furl to the bottom cap as per video, but the line would wrap below the cap. I then attached it to the upper cap and it works perfectly. Hope this helps.
The rotation of that sleeve is completely over and independent of the Stay/Halyard by the look of it.
I wonder if those 2" screws are abrading your headstay...
george jackson are you referring to the 2” bolt at the foot of the Genoa?
I thought the same thing, I'd be wanting to polish the threads off that bolt where it's inside that torque tube and only use screws long enought to lock the PVC with no protrusion into the interior of that tube. You dont want any sharp edges rubbing on that stay.....
EXCELLENT! And....You can call those "shanks" "doo-hickey-majiggy-diggy-doo-dad-thingies" D:
This Old Boat lol too funny
@@Adventures_4_Us I think I need counseling. I have the dreaded "boating disease" and I'm throwing money into a boat I really don't want but I can't help it! How do I stop?! D:
@@Adventures_4_Us I have discovered those doohickey majiggy thingies are called "Hanks" who would have thunk it? :-)
very good you save us big money thank you very very much
Nice video of sailing Lake Lanier. Thank you for caring enough about the environment to pickup some slobs trash. I can't for the life of me, understand litterbugs. I know sometimes things get lose, but some people are sad. The amount of trash thrown out of cars right in front of my house is unbelievable. Thanks again. Uh' It may be time to think about a larger collar for Strawberry, just saying maybe not.
I love the innovation of this and appreciate you folks posting this. My only comment about improvement is for the woman to stop repeating the same things over and over. After a while it just gets annoying explaining such simple concepts repeatedly. Thanks
Does the top cap need a slot or could it just have a hole and slide up to top of forestay first?
yes and yes
Are you still using a jib halyard like normal ?
Hanks
That learning curve is something. My videos are horrible. Lol. It amazes me when I consider how much goes into a video from a top channel. One step at a time I guess. Anyway, hope you post more.... oh that lake looks amazing. Do you sail there allot? Gonna be checking that place out more. Might be worth trailering down to for a vacation.
Lake Allatoona is where we sail the majority of the time. Lake Lanier is more of a get away for us. But we puddle hop so we try and check out all the lakes when we can and eventually we will be traveling the US checking out different lakes to sail.
Great video. I have a mac 22 and a balboa 26 so I love the videos of smaller boats. On small suggestion. When you hold your camera up and down in portrait it makes the video small especially on phones. Landscape works much better but just my opinion. Subbed
I agree on the videos. I am still learning the camera and editing. Thank you for your suggestion and I will give it a try.
Ingenious!
Hello just subbed ya ☺ Best wishes
I absolutely love it. Thank you, Thank you
