BROKEN CROSSBEAM BOLT While UNDERWAY in OPEN OCEAN - Split My Mast & Installed A New Anchor Winch

- this episode I head out to the reef after being in Hervey Bay (K'Gari) for over month.
after a long anticipated weather window we set off into open ocean with a split in my mast and a newly installed anchor winch and drama that was about to unfold which I had no idea about!
I had never been out onto the open ocean before with my dad so I was soo excited to share this experience with him as we sailed alongside each other.
although some wild stuff went down I still felt filled with joy being at lady Musgrave and knowing that I made it there in one piece!

Great Video Sagey, Dad was totally cheating lol, and had to laugh at the “ bickies” comment. Sailing into darkness and wild seas is very brave. So glad you made the passage safely.
thanks mum! yeah it was a pretty exciting moment. glad the boat held together!
Love these videos. They are not only entertaining, they are also informative. Great work Sage.
I love your videos and wish I had discovered sailing when I was your age. I had to sell my Precision 21 here in the Houston Texas area a couple of years ago. It just got too physical for me at 73 with a bad back. We just don't have the beautiful waters here you have in Australia. Your very lucky to live where you live, and to have a Dad that trained and influenced you. Live the dream and enjoy your life every day for us land dwellers, that have responsibilities that keep us from living on the water. God Bless you Son!
thanks for the comment! yeah I fell very lucky to have found sailing so young. ill continue to live this life and share it with everyone. I hope you enjoy :)
Awww…Dad, the old salty dog up to his tricks. Great vid “Sagey” Hope the repairs to the cross beam, mast & hull don’t hurt to much….OUCH! Good on ya for Keep on keeping on👍
Thanks mate, appreciate your comment. All is ticking along smoothly 🤙
Love your old mans sailing tactics heading into Lady Musgrave....... what a legend
very classic ay! made for a hilarious moment!
She was a decent sailboat, but she's not made for heavy long sails, and she's falling apart at the most critical areas. Time for a new boat!
Some tips:
1) Those wires on the new windlass I hope you insulated them so they don't arc together and tied them up so the chain doesn't tear them out, there is more length on the new one than the old one. BTW the old one is probably repairable (new motor?)
2)I know it's a temporary measure but you should wrap some electrical tape or similar around the bast underneath those metal straps you put on the base of your mast, those metal straps are stainless steel and your mast is aluminium, aluminium is the weaker metal so will corrode quickly from contact of dissimilar metals.
3) The way you strapped down the beam bolt would do nothing but hold the bolt in, but if it has sheered like that, you will want to replace all of them, the rest are probably about to go, also they look rusted, so you need to figure out how the heads of the bolts have water, they should not be wet.
FYI Pearl is based on a Wharram Pahi design with some modifications, normally the beams are lashed on rather than bolted James Wharram stopped using bolted beams and even in his older designs the bolts had rubber blocks to absorb the shock loads: www.wharram.com/faq > Why do you lash the beams of your recent designs, and is it safe?
Hi I agree with Bryan Ford. The Wharrams were designed for components to be lashed. The way those bolts went vertically into the hull deck seems very contrary to the Wharram system. I strongly urge you to speak to someone with some good structural knowledge. My Wharram Pahi 31 was more as per design and used bolts similar to the one you showed us, but very differently to how it is on your boat.
Anyway, I would also like to add that your Dad is a very, very naughty boy.
Have fun all of you and keep sending the Utube stuff.
thanks for the comment.
yes i'm very aware of the opposing forces and continue to keep an eye on the joins and bolts.
if I had it my way over it would be different. ut I just have to learn to live with what I've got until I upgrade....
@@TheMerTheMan that is great, knowing the weakness gives you a better chance of making do until you can do a better fix.
Good luck and fair winds..
Happy New Year's to all from Siesta Key Florida
Thanks very much 🙏 you too!
Stainless is only rust proof when air /oxygen is available. When salt water gets in a gap and stits there with no air it will rush though. As it did. Seal it up. Use ct1 or some water salt proof alternatives. Possable locktite or epoxy that is not so strong. Oxidation of the chromium in stailess is it friend so needs air.
👍👍👍👍👍
well, well, well. Pirates do cheat but that's OK mate, we all know who has the fastest boat. CHEERS!!
We sure do Cleon! And it’s pearl 😂⛵️
Really enjoyed your sail and how you made the temporary repair. Language, you are a sailor and sailors are salty. Your ‘bad’ language is minimal.
I’m very glad you enjoyed the video. A lot of energy goes into recording and editing them!
Once salty always salty. Plus the dynamic of a father and son is always alittle different compared to the rest of the world
Tie it off fella, them Wharrams were designed for lashed connections originally anyhow. Who-ever built her done you wrong there...
yes I well and truly understand the flaws in the design. although there are opposing forces with the bolt replaced and the boat more shipshape im still very confident in her capabilities
ha ha I won
Great video sage. I have got a few mates to subscribe to make up for the stupid comment by "John Hoag" Keep on keeping on brother.
Cheers for the support 🙏🙌
I’m keepin on keeping on 🤙
That method of bolting the beams on is bullshit. Too much point load.
The beam needs to have a cap made that has a flange each side.
So imagine draping a square of wet fibreglass over the beam and for about 100mm either side and the width of the hull, now make it 5-10mm thick and bolt through the existing holes in the beam and either side. Also reinforce underneath the width of the flanges and down onto the hull sides.
You won
Dad cheated.
I have to unsubscribe from your channel due the language that you have decide to allow. May be fine for others, however it is not something I enjoy hearing.
What bad language 🤷♂️ I’m halfway through and haven’t heard a thing…
