      i would install 3 3 inch tubes either side of the cockpit then gets slightly smaller alcatene pipes that go from one side to the other in a half round circle with canvas sewn around it you can take it away and then put it up when ever

Great to see Mom & Dad in this episode, they are truly awesome parents. The overhead can wait, will certainly improve conditions when finished. Mostly, enjoy your Christmas at HOME.

    I think you need to put a roof over the cockpit, that way when things get rough you have a place to control the boat. You just never know what the ocean is going to throw at you, it's best to be ready instead of not being ready and she decides to pummel you.

    I'm so accustomed to a monohull that I forget you've got two hulls in one boat, and lost track of the fact that you've been living in one and haven't really touched on the other in many videos. Or you have, but I lose track of which hull you're in. It makes sense, when you're singlehanding, to live all within one hull - sleeping quarters, kitchen, and head. The other hull can be the guest house and workshop? And you have the deck between the two as your patio, dance floor, and bathing beach! I remember seeing one of the Wharram designs with an optional, lifting walkway down to the water level for swimming access and recovery.

      The wt of that boom will need some heavy duty boom preventer kit . It's already at a risky height if it swings wildly, whilst tacking or was to break loose from a fixing. There's more than one sailor that's been killed maimed or seriously injured by a swinging boom. And the boats have been damaged or sunk in the following actions.
      A husband and wife couple
      lost there lives onboard their custom blue water monohull because a boom preventer ripped loose before they could reef the main.. the man suffered a compound fracture of his femur.. and despite having two experienced crew they couldn't get the main back under control ...and had to be helicopter rescued at extreme range in a storm ..they both died on the return flight to hospital.

  • @MikeBanks2003
    @MikeBanks2003 Месяц назад +4

    If one is still worried about rot, buy swimming pool salt and toss it into the bilges and on to any ledges where water may have ben in the past. Osmotic pressure will pickle any rot or rot-prone area. Cheap and effective--but does not fix any damage although it stops it getting worse. I would glue polyurethane or PVC foam panels under those ceiling panels you are replacing. Strong and one can not have too much insulation, but it might as well add strength as well as insulation. In the tropics one will be glad one did.
    Repelling Orcas is probably better accomplished with underwater speakers and playing them Bach's music.

    I'm sure the guys have thought of it, but that belt would benefit from a sprung tensioner :) Another great vid, love the progress.. Also, Mum is deffo a poser. Bet she's always on the 'gram.

      So you can tension the belt using the groove assembly. But a tensioner will greatly reduce the service life. We thought of it, but the added value is to low compared to the added cost, complexity and wear.

    11:40 - it seem that the step edge colouring is getting away a bit. Maybe consider borrowing a thermo camera, filling the hulls by hot air and checking the hottests spots from outside for leaks. Might help in future. Good luck with your travell plan. And stay safe bro.

    hey man, you could have just pressed the foam into place with the extra fixing points, even its bigger than the hole, foam is made of air pockets, if you had just put the wood cover and screwed it in, the foam would be press fitted into place! Love you videos!

    I think I need this type of auto pilot set up! Can you do me a favor and dump continuous buckets of salt water on it while it's an operation and tell me if it's still works after a day??😀
