Dammit. After bing-watching 20 videos I caught up with real-time. Never catch up with real time! Thanks for the great video guys and keep up the good work! Moar videos!
I’m presently binge watching and this is where I’m at. I’m anxious to see the progress but don’t want to run out either. I did see the recent run aground video, it was almost like a spoiler, lol. Super glad that worked out well though 😊
You guys are so positive taking on these "seemingly endless" projects with those setbacks. Great job! All the best and get out in the water as soon as possible.
Had to go look back in your videos. You got it 8 months ago. and now about ready to go back in the water. Congrats on all the hard work and expense to turn it around. We all watched and helped and learned along with you. Great video series.
Another great episode. Hint- machine screws that extend beyond the mast wall can potentially abrade antennae cables, lighting wires and internal halyards due to constantly slapping against the screw. If they are in conduit then you're ok. Rivets are smooth shaped mushrooms when properly set and do not represent a problem.
Our wiring is in conduits. Not the line though. If we notice any chafing we my replace with rivets. We have since purchased a better riveter we could use.
The other nice thing about rivets are that they are easy to remove (with a drill) when the time comes. The locktite will help a little, but, eventually, the SS screws will corrode to the aluminum mast and not be removable. Drilling a SS screw out of aluminum is a PITA (the bit always slips off and digs into the softer metal). A better rivet gun is not that expensive, or you might want to look into Rivnuts that are a threaded sleeve that goes into the hole.
Definitely pair the umbrella hat with the jorts. Stoked about your mast; a great milestone in your refit. If you aren't careful you'll miss working in cooler weather. Cheers.
The pedestal area is thicker, due to the extra force that will be put on it, as you push and pull in big waves. Hopefully you matched the strength of the original design. Good luck!
TefGel, Aluminox(?) or similar goo designed just for that job is mandatory, really. And it is a PITA but simple enough to cut those screws down to length, but you know that. Make haste slowly, you're taking shortcuts that can come back to bite you.
You'll be fine you used a plastic washer, that will act as a barrier to keep salt water out. Besides the corrosion these people are talking about is Galvanic corrosion. That can happen even when using aluminum screws, depending on the alloy content. Keep up the good work you guys ROCK!!
@@mikesmalley87 the potential difference between any 2 aluminum alloys is exceedingly smaller than the difference between any aluminum alloy and even carbon steel and the differential is even greater with stainless. That's why stainless bolts tend to seize in aluminum far more often than cad-plated steel. The biggest worry here is that it's the aluminum that's sacrificial not the stainless, so the danger is corrosive loss to the expensive mast rather that the hardware.
Gotta say it... 316 stainless screws in alluminum are a corrosion no go. The designers have supplied pop rivets as they tighten on both sides. A new rivet gun will be cheaper than watching the radar come down in a storm, not to mention the rattling noise you will be living with very soon.
WOW 2 years already? Your skill level and confidence has greatly improved in this short time. The work both of you are doing now will pay off when something breaks in the future. You are doing a great job! I can't Waite to see you on way.Its getting close.
I have the CDI Furler and have been pleased with the exception of the aluminum sheath bottom edge opening. That is like a blade! I have cut my hand on that twice now and as a safety engineer, there has to be a better design to hold the spool. Enjoy Annapolis I love the Chesapeake Bay and keep Excalibur just south of there.
Aw man! That stinks. Jordan handled that part mostly and luckily did not get cut. We've loved both our previous furlers from them. Can't wait to get a sail on this one and get cruising!
Have been following you guys for awhile now enjoy watching and learning as you go along have checked out about a dozen other channels but just think you guys are the best of lot keep it up and look forward to the reward stage where you are out on the big blue
Nice one guys, would have loved to have seen more of the mast going up, but guess I'll see it when all the rigging gets put on. I was thinking the same, "pulled pork" lol, and "why did they wait to do this now?". Good idea with the reinforcement of the cockpit if your taking out some of the wooden support. Oh those summer rains in the south, (Gulf Coast is twice as bad), It's gonna rain every afternoon close, the percent is just is it on top of you or down the street. Wonderful channel and you have come a long way with the DIY!!! PS stainless steel and aluminum don't work well together.
Learning the Lines The unexpected liberation of libations took our group down a very specific path that brought the festivities to an early conclusion. I hope you enjoyed the show :) Keep up the great work and see you next year, or on the blue.
Hey guys, love the videos (been binge watching) just wondering roughly how much the rigging cost, I'm looking at an older boat/adventure and was wondering what I should budget for it. Thanks, keep up the good work!
It is on my list to buy some LTL garb!!! - Awesome! BTW's you guys are starting to look less like DIY'ers and more like pro's!!! At some point you're gonna graduate!!! - One more sail in VT this weekend. And then.....a lot of youtube arm chair sailing while the snow flies!!
I was sad and beautiful yesterday. Zero wind. No sailing. We just started breaking her down, sharing our highlights low lights and next years hopes. We wrote two Lake Champlain verses to "Leave Her Johnny" After a few beers we got in the kayak and paddled away singing "for the voyage is done and the wind won't blow.....and its time for us to leave her......" We didn't sound this good but the spirit was there: ruclips.net/video/HBNt3ALLcLQ/видео.html
We spent a few days with my (Randi's) cousins this summer and they were all about the pirate / sea shanties so I heard this one quite a bit...also not sung that well. Lol. That does sound sad, but I like that you guys are already thinking/dreaming about next year.
What should it cost to be on dry dock ,for a 37 ‘ sailboat in Florida it looks like it’s time for my bottom paint my first sailboat this large so many different quote’s I got ?
Man you two are really moving along! Wish I could make the Annapolis Boat Show to meet you, but being on the West Coast and in the middle of a home repair project I'll just wish you a good time and safe journey. Thank you for the video update. PS: Can't believe I was the first comment! Wow!
Thank you for watching! We were worried when we had to wait so long for a comment. Lol. I guess because the video was a bit longer we had to give more time for people to watch. :)
I wanted to go to the Annapolis show but "things" are keeping me here in N.C. I specifically wanted to talk to the guys from Sailrite but it'll have to wait till next year. I wish y'all had used a synthetic core material. No core is completely problem free but plywood is the worst of all the options. Depending on your glass work, it'll last for ten or so years. I have not put up my awning yet after Hurricane Florence and my A.C. is running triple overtime during the day to keep the inside of the boat below 85. Believe it or not, it will also help to keep the evening mist and morning dew/fog off the boat as well. Trying to glass that large of an area in direct sun light would have been a speed run nightmare so if for that alone, it's good you put it up. It's not a bad idea to "engineer" something that can be stowed away and put up easily when pier-side or on anchor. It can also act as a rain catcher down in the Caribbean where fresh water can cost more than gasoline. For viewer info: There are two reasons the core plywood is put in as 6 inch blocks rather than a solid plywood sheet. 1. It's easier to conform to curved surfaces (which in this case is not a factor). 2. When applied in the factory, the glass tech is actually doing this from the other side while the part is still upside down in the mold. The plywood is laid into place and the glass and resin spray gun (called a "chopper gun") is sprayed "resin only" first to soak the plywood and allow it to run down and puddle up between the tile separations, hopefully to help seal the edges of each tile (it never does). Then a layer of chopped glass is applied over the wood and usually a layer of 20oz or 24oz cloth over that. There are only a few production boat builders left in the U.S. with limited roll out numbers, using plywood as a core material. No matter how careful the glass job, water WILL get in and the plywood will de-laminate and rot faster than any other core material. This is about 60 years of industrial experience and failure that cringes to watch a couple of 18in by 24in sheet plywood going down as a solid core material.
3DPDK Yeh couldn't agree more . I was building fiberglass boats in late 70's on and I remember we all kept saying 'just coat it in resin and it will last for ever' Ha! how wrong we were. I see nothing but wood rot in fiberglass boats including the balsa that rots like crazy too. I have a lot of small boat and recently bought an old motor launch , inboard, that actually has no internal wood in it , built 1971 Yeh! I think if they take all the precautions with drilling hole that we know about now they should be ok, what they had lasted 40? Years so ...... Oh and quality foam core , yup that takes up moisture too , just doesn't rot like wood! You can't win....... Cheers Warren.
3DPDK I totally agree that plywood core is not the best solution here. Given our circumstances however, it seems silly to put in something else here when the entire rest of the deck is plywood. We already had the marine grade plywood on hand and we figure if we take the appropriate steps to protect the core (like drill-fill-drilling all the holes) I think it should hold up for a good while. At some point i think this boat will need an entire deck core replacement. When that time comes (and if we still own the boat) we will probably use foam, coosa, or something else better than plywood. Warren we ended up going to ibex on Tuesday. Were you there?
Jordan: I understand your choices and why. I'm not really criticizing the choice to use plywood here, but I wanted to explain to anyone who takes the time to read my comments the reason this is no longer done in the industry. It's a common method used by the DIYer and my intention was to let them know that the industry tried for 60 to 70 years to come up with a way to make encapsulated plywood work, but couldn't. This material as a structural core will always require replacing sometime down the road.
warp21drive; Yep, balsa is just as bad. I use polyurethane foam core. No matter how proficient you are at laminating, water will enter into the cavity and at least the polyurethane will not rot.
dissimilar metals on a boat! be careful with the ss screws on the aluminium mast, it will be fine for you guys but the next poor sod who does a refit will have an awful time :)
Thank you so much. Great work on the vids too. I'm up in North Florida bracing for the storm. Y'all stay safe. I would send a fond "fair winds" your way too, but that doesn't look likely in the near future :)
You really should have used much more thread lock than that. Tefgel is better, but you can use thread lock too. But whart you want in the end is to totally electrically insulate the stainless bolt from the aluminum spar in betwee those threads. If not isolated electrically, each bolt is going to eat that aluminum mast up like a battery, and the spar will turn to a white furry mush and pit all to heck all around each fastener. You were better off with the rivets. Stronger than threads and easy to drill out and remove if it comes to that.
@@LearningtheLines you should see our boom where someone threaded SS fasteners for reefing blocks and the damage it did over just a handful of years. Looked like someone was dragging an arc welder all over the aluminum spar or a very strong acid got spilled on it in dribbles around each SS bolt..
I know it's hard to film when you are rushed, but could you shoot a few seconds of the completed "whatever" that you say you are going to work on? Not a big deal, but it would add context. Thanks!
Why are you in such a rush to leave the yard ?? I thought it was much cheaper (rent) and easier to work on the boat then at the morning. Don’t rush it take your time and do it right.
When I was still living in hell . I went home for lunch one winter day. The good old wday weatherman said there was a 15% chance of snow flurries. That means a few snowflakes. At that moment I looked outside and we had a whiteout . That means you can't see your hand in front of your face. It lasted 3 days. The snow drifts were as deep as 30 feet deep. A snow plow hit a semi buried in a snow drift about a mile from my home the drift across the street in front of the house was 15+- feet they had to bring in front end loader and dump trucks to open the street. I never ever believe a weatherman.
@@LearningtheLines Ah! "Plan" being the key word in that response! You sitting on a dock in Morocco after a storm craks the mast.... LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love the videos keep em coming.
Andrew Rose if they’d used rivets as initially intended that would have required a drill to remove also. Drill out a rivet, drill out a screw, same difference?
Why would I want to have new rigging that is an exact duplicate of the old rigging. Sounds to me like "you should replace your mattress every 8 years". Who's opinion is that? The rigging salesperson or scientific proof of material fatigue.(and if it is material fatigue, then why is the new rigging the same length as the old rigging). I'm just saying.....
The last thing you have to worry about is stainless fasteners falling out of aluminum. They will rust them selves together and you won’t be able to remove them.
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering about the consequences of dissimilar metals. Will a protective coating develop over the fusion weld, or, will rusting continue to penetrate into and weaken the metals until failure? Should rust stains streaking down the mast be expected? I ask because I have no idea.
Aluminum is the anode in the stainless/Al relationship, so the aluminum will tend to corrode around the stainless fasteners (the Anode goes Away). That may be reduced somewhat by the Loctite they used.

Thanks for the great video guys and keep up the good work! Moar videos!
Lol it is always sad to run out of binge watching material. Luckily we are planning to start doing multiple episodes a week. 😉
I’m presently binge watching and this is where I’m at. I’m anxious to see the progress but don’t want to run out either. I did see the recent run aground video, it was almost like a spoiler, lol. Super glad that worked out well though 😊
You guys are so positive taking on these "seemingly endless" projects with those setbacks. Great job! All the best and get out in the water as soon as possible.
Thank you! We are trying to see the silver lining. 😊
That umbrella hat though! lol LOOKING GOOD GUYS!
We're willing to send you one to protect Beau's beautiful bald head 😂
LOL!
Had to go look back in your videos. You got it 8 months ago. and now about ready to go back in the water. Congrats on all the hard work and expense to turn it around. We all watched and helped and learned along with you. Great video series.
Thank you so much Brian. We've certainly enjoyed your comments along the way :)
Good call on the cockpit sole ;-)! Going to turn out great!!

Really great video! We will be replacing our core in our cock pit as well so It was valuable to watch your process.
Good to see the luff extrusion unrolling easily. Those things were real finger busters to roll up. Looking good.
Must admit I've been super nervous each time, but we're very careful. Lol
The progress looks great. You guys are kickin butt and la laying glass.
Lol thanks!
Have fun in Annapolis, looks like you deserve a break after all that work.
Lol thanks! Definitely need a break.
Definitely pair the umbrella hat with the jorts. Stoked about your mast; a great milestone in your refit. If you aren't careful you'll miss working in cooler weather. Cheers.
Lol I know. We want that cooler weather. That would be one killer outfit.
You guys both def seem more natural and relaxed when talking to us in front of the camera!! Great video, looking forward to the next!
Thank you! Its finally starting to feel a little more "normal". Lol
Looks like a lot was accomplished...! I hope the weather fairs up in your favor, and you'll be finished soon! Keep taking small steps! ;P
Thank you!
The pedestal area is thicker, due to the extra force that will be put on it, as you push and pull in big waves. Hopefully you matched the strength of the original design. Good luck!
Stainless bolts in aluminum is a recipe for corrosion. You need to coat those bolts with anti-seize
TefGel, Aluminox(?) or similar goo designed just for that job is mandatory, really. And it is a PITA but simple enough to cut those screws down to length, but you know that. Make haste slowly, you're taking shortcuts that can come back to bite you.
Lyfan Deth love Tefgel
Better yet use aluminum hardware in your mast. That's why they gave you aluminum rivets. You can get aluminum screws!

I've been watching you guys since the beginning and will be in Annapolis this weekend as well. Hope to meet you there.
Awesome! Hope to see you there.

I would offer my boat as a place to crash, but you would be more comfortable in the B&B. Lots of nice ones in the Annapolis area.
Oh that would have been great. We are excited about the little place we found though so it all worked out. :)
YAY, a new video!!!
😁
Hopefully may see you guys on saturday
Awesome!
If you guys like Bar b que there is a place by the dinghy dock called Mission Bar b que really good and good prices
Have been following you guys for awhile now enjoy watching and learning as you go along have checked out about a dozen other channels but just think you guys are the best of lot keep it up and look forward to the reward stage where you are out on the big blue
Thank you for following along and the positive words! We appreciate it. :)
“The mast is going up tomorrow”. Video shows of dropping the mast😂
Lol
Have fun in Annapolis kids! Don't fool with the Midshipmen too much.
Thanks!
Darn. We’re going to Annapolis on Sunday and Monday. Less crowded.
It was soooooo crowded Saturday lol
Learning the Lines Sunday was pretty crowded as well. Monday was very nice and overcast.
Nice one guys, would have loved to have seen more of the mast going up, but guess I'll see it when all the rigging gets put on.
I was thinking the same, "pulled pork" lol, and "why did they wait to do this now?". Good idea with the reinforcement of the cockpit if your taking out some of the wooden support.
Oh those summer rains in the south, (Gulf Coast is twice as bad), It's gonna rain every afternoon close, the percent is just is it on top of you or down the street.
Wonderful channel and you have come a long way with the DIY!!!
PS stainless steel and aluminum don't work well together.
Thanks for watching! Rain predictions are always fun. Lol
Wish I could see you in Annapolis, but we're going on Friday. Have boat work to do on Saturday...
Aw man! Sorry we'll miss you.
Great video! :-)
Thanks!
See you tomorrow!
Are you still here? Dont think we saw you.
Learning the Lines The unexpected liberation of libations took our group down a very specific path that brought the festivities to an early conclusion. I hope you enjoyed the show :) Keep up the great work and see you next year, or on the blue.
Randy ... i am your biggest fan ... ;)
Well thank you! 😊
Hey guys, love the videos (been binge watching) just wondering roughly how much the rigging cost, I'm looking at an older boat/adventure and was wondering what I should budget for it. Thanks, keep up the good work!
I know you probably did it outside of the video filming but just in case, remember the cutter pins for the turnbuckles in the fore-stay.
Oh for sure! Those are not something we want to forget.
Doing a great job. Just a fyi you could use a hair dryer to dry wood and thing's , it's up to you just wanted to let you know
We ended up using our heat gun to do it. Lol
Hey guys, had the same thought on dissimilar metals. Without insulation you will get electrolysis. Not sure if loctite will insulate.
We're planning a follow up video so stay tuned!
It is on my list to buy some LTL garb!!! - Awesome! BTW's you guys are starting to look less like DIY'ers and more like pro's!!! At some point you're gonna graduate!!! - One more sail in VT this weekend. And then.....a lot of youtube arm chair sailing while the snow flies!!

Bad idea with threading in aluminium. Have exactly the same problem, the thread will not hold.
Will be at the boat this weekend would come up there but no truck parking however you could come down for dinner after your done with the show
Are you that close? Maybe if we have time. We're still trying to figure out if there's interest in meeting up after near the show.
23 miles or so
I know it's hard to film when you are rushed, but could you shoot a few seconds of the completed "whatever" that you say you are going to work on? Not a big deal, but it would add context. Thanks!
That is definitely something we should do. Going to try to slow down a bit to improve our filming.
Why are you in such a rush to leave the yard ?? I thought it was much cheaper (rent) and easier to work on the boat then at the morning. Don’t rush it take your time and do it right.
We've been talking about that a lot recently. We will have an update in our next livestream.
When I was still living in hell . I went home for lunch one winter day. The good old wday weatherman said there was a 15% chance of snow flurries. That means a few snowflakes. At that moment I looked outside and we had a whiteout . That means you can't see your hand in front of your face. It lasted 3 days. The snow drifts were as deep as 30 feet deep. A snow plow hit a semi buried in a snow drift about a mile from my home the drift across the street in front of the house was 15+- feet they had to bring in front end loader and dump trucks to open the street.
I never ever believe a weatherman.

Coosa board......
Love what we've heard about coosa board, but we had leftover marine plywood from our other projects and couldn't justify the expense because of that.
"Rigging doctors" channel are at Annapolis Boat show, I don't know if they'll be there on Saturday but it'll be interesting if meet up happens.
They actually reached out to us today about that, but unfortunately they will not be there Saturday. Thanks for watching!
thread locker+aluminum+stainless...... so in like 5 years after electrolysis happens those screws are never coming out without a drill bit.
We don't really plan on taking off the radar mount.
@@LearningtheLines Ah! "Plan" being the key word in that response! You sitting on a dock in Morocco after a storm craks the mast.... LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love the videos keep em coming.
Andrew Rose if they’d used rivets as initially intended that would have required a drill to remove also. Drill out a rivet, drill out a screw, same difference?
Why would I want to have new rigging that is an exact duplicate of the old rigging. Sounds to me like "you should replace your mattress every 8 years". Who's opinion is that? The rigging salesperson or scientific proof of material fatigue.(and if it is material fatigue, then why is the new rigging the same length as the old rigging). I'm just saying.....
The last thing you have to worry about is stainless fasteners falling out of aluminum. They will rust them selves together and you won’t be able to remove them.
Lol we were having that issue this week trying to remove a pad eye from our boom
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering about the consequences of dissimilar metals. Will a protective coating develop over the fusion weld, or, will rusting continue to penetrate into and weaken the metals until failure? Should rust stains streaking down the mast be expected? I ask because I have no idea.
Aluminum is the anode in the stainless/Al relationship, so the aluminum will tend to corrode around the stainless fasteners (the Anode goes Away). That may be reduced somewhat by the Loctite they used.
