- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Today we assess our lines and anchors, and replace some mooring lines! The Team learns how to splice double braided lines, and we conduct a pull test to check there strength!
Welcome to our journey on restoring 1943 HDML 1392, we bought this historic vessel on eBay with the hopes to get her seaworthy again in time for the 85th anniversary of D-Day

I remember those breezy days. I live on the Yorkshire moors and remember you couldn't leave the house.
Shall never forget the neighbours flying 🐑.
Gem this is a great idea 💡
Maybe you could suggest a video with each one you have put up like you have done here.
That would be fantastic and double your views/revenue 😃
I'll be going straight to the recommended video after this one.
It's good for people who enjoy the channel but maybe joined halfway through or just lately 👍
Robo's a Gem of a Chap. Always there, Mucking in.
Team Robo 🙏 💪
Years ago I worked on an oceanographic research team and spliced hundreds of lines. Really loved it. If you're doing the types that require stitching, get a sailors palm to push the needle. We also had to pre-stretch many of our lines and would lay out hundreds of meters at an abandoned airfield, tying the ends to vehicles to pull. Be well!
Gemma is a fer real marlin spike sailor! Good girl! Barry.
Don’t forget to mouse the shackles with some monel wire. Over time they the stresses and strains can unwind the pin.
Wow!! I was super impressed watching you two driving that screw anchor down 10 feet!! SUPER glad you didn't "test to destruction". (next video funeral) . Excellent splicing ♥
You do not realize just how much energy is stored on that line. If it breaks it can easily just snap your head off. Been doing steel cable testing many years, and I know. Do you realize how much force it takes to bend that bar that way?. You are very, very lucky. May luck keep on preserving you. Your Guardian Angel must be doing a lot of extra work hours, LOL...
Cheating with the splicing lol. Those modern platted ropes are dead easy. The traditional ropes are an art to splice 😊
Started binge-watching in November, and finally caught up. Now, what am I going to do ;) Keep up the good work.
Well done on replacing anchor lines to all.
Happy birthday Robert!! 🎉😊
Have a Happy New Year, Simon and Gemma! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, we are all looking forward to the new year with lots of great videos! Thank you!
Hi again. I learned how to splice rope and wire rope the old fashioned way, with a marlin spike. The new technology is pretty amazing. Thank You.
Nothing quite like playing in the Mud. Always advantageous to change things about every now and again. Nice to be outa the bilge for a change as well and doing something else. What a cracker of a Winters day as well. Keep at it now. 😁🤪😎😷
Enjoying this channel a lot. Never know what'll happen next. Ship happens, that's what!
Just wait and see what happens next week! 🫣
'Pipe Up All Hands' Nearly New Year, well Eve. Splice the Main Brace. All I'm sayin is, Do you own the shed? So if you mess up and put a hole in the roof, will the landlord chuck ya out for breakin stuff? Nice goin m8s, thanks, and it 31/12/2022, so Happy New Year, to you CPO Robbo Paddy and Patrick an Emily and Mason
Looked like a Monty Python skit when they were putting that anchor in the groung...lol.
Happy Birthday Robo
Those are some awesome splices Gemma! Looks very very professional! Congrats for Robbo, and happy new year! Best regards again from Holland, Arjan
Thank you! 😃
Almost 2 years... to be honest I didn't think you'd ever make it even this far - I definitely admire your tenacity! Is there any timeline where you think you might be done or at least get the ship sea-worthy?? ;)
Of all the vids I have seen today, yours is the best. Keep it up guy . Love your vids!!!!!!
I learnt the real splicing in the scouts and spent winter nights splicing eyes and stop end for Lazy Days. Also spliced a bell rope with different splices Bill who crewed for me, an ex-fisherman and merchant navy gave them the thumbs up.
Never tried the sheaved type of rope splice as they came readymade, but only used them as working lines not as pretty ones. Well done and the decks are a lot less cluttered.
'One Simon' is now am international unit of measure.
Great work, just to reassure you Simon, you've now got more mooring lines for Sarinda than the Winter Hill TV mast! Was up there today and counted 15.
Jemma looks like she is a professional. Can I get you to come to NZ to help me with mine!!!!!!!!
Extraordinary knot tying Simon. I've always said "if you can't tie a knot jus tangle it up"
All the best for 2023. Guys, looking at your mooring system, all I can say is bondage in your bedroom would be a wonder to behold. Love you guys and your channel and can’t wraith to see what 2023 brings
Lot of fun and hard work
Just remember how hard it was to pull a welly out of that muck and you'll have no worries about that screw anchor pulling out...
Getting that Second line across is where the "Monkey fist' and heaving line come in handy.
Simon showing why men don't live as long as women! 🤣 Love watching you guys!
As dirty and nasty mud work can be, from the freeze her in Norway this was just what I needed: an epic day with nice sun and good friends/helpers. Happy new year to all.
Happy New Year to you!!! Exactly at your midnight!🎉
All the best and health and happiness for 2023!!!
Happy new year! Thanks for seeing the new year in with us! Xxx
@@ShipHappensUK wake up at 5:00 am and send me a happy too!! Georgia USA. Go Dawgs ( college American football!!!)
A Happy New year everybody
Jolly good. CHEERS
Learning rope work like knots and splices is an awesome skill to have and will help you throughout your life 👍 Well done to you all. And happy birthday! You don't look a day over 60! 😉
I wuz just thinking about you guys!!! Yaay. 🤗
Happy New Year to you all, all the best for 2023.
Happy new year!
Nice to see that roof is still gorgeous!
hi you need to mouse the shackles to make shure they cannot come undone but keep up the good work its bringing back memories of the two hdmls i have been involved with alan
4:50 one of those classic "To me, to you" moments…
I'm Knot 🪢 impressed lol, get it? Lol
Great job Gemma, and yall 👏
I don’t know if anyone has warned you. But those lines (ropes) get enough tension on them to snap. When that happens there is enough force in the line to take off a leg and if the line is is the size of what you are change if our they could cut a person on half. So alway respect the line.
It one of the first things your taught in the Navy. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the show.
😂🤣 some people will believe anything.
Happy New Year to the Ship Happens crew! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊
Happy New year 🎉
Well done
Happy new yaer for you all
Splicing double braid line isn’t difficult especially after you do a couple splices. I think it’s easier than splicing three strand line. You’re doing a good job!
Boys will be Boys 👦 🤣
Thank God there's a sensible woman around 🤣
look to the jack tar's. the sailors moor to a pier with six (6) lines, so do the same on each side to make 12 lines so you can be rock steady.
Happy birthday to Robbo Happy New Year
I learned to splice with my grandads Manual of Seamanship 1937. When i was in sea cadets. But old type rope where you needed a marlin spike to open the stands. Happy new year.
I’m going to start measuring everything in units of Simon from now on. 😂
Happy birthday Robbo, and Happy New Year to all of you!
You have more lines than the Queen Mary!!
Very nice splicing Gemma! Bent that bar Simon, that's a pretty tough line. Happy New Year to you all!
Chop up the old lines and sell them as merch!
Literally money for old rope. 😂😂😂😂
I was waiting for Gemma to pull her hair in with the fid.
If I had any hair I'd probably do it by mistake too.
🎉happy new year. I follow yous
Happy new year!!
Great Job!
Always enjoy watching your videos ☺️. Happy Holidays 🎉🎊🍻🎄⛄
Hey it’s the Gemma and Simon show ….. love these guys🍻
Thanks!
Thank you so much Greg xxx
Belated happy birthday Robbo
Happy Birthday Robo, and much love to the Big SH family.
So much fun to watch creative boat people. Happy New Year Thanks for a fun 2022 and looking forward to seeing how (they will) the new anchor points hold in 2023. Thanks
One high Simon
The rope is strong she did a good job give her a parrot back 💪
well done all, HAPPY NEW YEAR
It's time to watch a cleat tying video Simon! Full loop around, then the turn and a turn back on itself so that the two lines lay flat and parallel. Also did you serve those shackles? You should run a piece of wire through the hole in the pin and back around the shackle throat to insure is doesn't work itself free over time.
Hi guys, screw anchors are best put in, in line with the line. The rod will bend over, weakening it. Also impossible to get out when bent.
Cor Blimey …. Don’t you two ever take a Kit-Kat …. Hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄….. and let’s all wish you a Wonderful New Year 🎉🥳🥃🥂🍻🦊
It looks like it was a gorgeous day to be outside and I absolutely loved the way you tested the strength of the splice. I hope the fork lift has recovered lol.
Happy Christmas to you all xx
I didn't. I have seen dozens of those lines snap. They are incredibly strong and are factory tested rated by English braids. They will never fail within their specs. That test was lethal especially when Simon plucked it. That bar would have taken his head off on its way up through the ceiling.
If he got behind the mast and knocked it forward with a sledge hammer it would have gone up so fast he would not have even seen it.
Used that very size and type of line in movie making for years. We tied all sorts of boats to all sorts of cranes, JCBs, boats, trucks, winches, excavators, tractors. We filmed storms crashes wrecks overland shots underwater battles scenes. We tested that rope everyday possible in every weather condition. We probably wrecked about €10,000 a week of that stuff. It's absolutely brilliant stuff but it has its limitations and you can get caught out very badly when things go wrong so no I do not recommend ever trying that stupid stunt with it.
That rope it rated higher than his forklift so he probably would have blown a hydraulic line of stalled the forklift before it would have broken if he hadn't killed himself first.
You guys are like Linesmen for the County!
SIMON YES YES LOL I FELT THE SAME WAY YOU DID TO KEEP GOING LOL BUT BUT AFTER I THOUGHT ABOUT IT I RATHER YOU BE SAFE IN EVER TIME & NOT GET HURT THANKS 👍🏽❤️
You're such fast & enthusiastic learners! Well done. 😁
Great work Gemma and Robbo too. Good looking splices. And of course, Simon screwing around in the mud is such great content. 😂❤
Happy New Year.
A sb spring from the bow backwards also stop the forward moving. Now you only have a portspring from the bow backwards.
Happy New Year. Thanks for bringing us along on your epic adventure.
Happy new year to both of you. Good luck in 2023 and can’t wait for more progress! Thanks for 2022!
Happy New Year ! Fun as always ! And thank you !!
You can now splice the main brace Have a Happy New Year
Add floats to mark anchor location and keep lines out of the mud
Good job you guys I have learned so much from you all. Thanks Roy from California.
Gemma, you made a lovely job of those new lines and thimbles, well done.🙂
Are you using electrical tape to tidy up the rope ends or to stop fraying?
Electricians Heat Shrink tubing is not expensive and makes a neat job. You can get it in a massive range of sizes and colours on either Amazon or Flea Bay. You can either use a gentle blow torch or a heat gun to shrink it. (Personally I think a heat gun is better and safer).
Happy New Year to all the Family and the dedicated crew of helpers.
Reckon you could do it with 8 good lines. Two bow, two stern with a fore and aft spring on both sides.
good see you put vid thanks lee
Thanks
Thank you so much for your support Bruce xxx 😘
Lovely video happy New year to you and your family⚓👍
I bet there's some engineers and shipwrights out there in the audience willing to come out and help you tackle projects like the salon roof and decks, etc.
What a crackin' day for replacing the mooring lines! Just idyllic. 🌅 Nice tidy job on the rope splicing, of course. Gemma and Robbo make an excellent team. Happy Birthday to Robbo! And Happy New Year to everyone. Looking forward to another year of progress, learning and fun on Sarinda.😀
I had a fishing boat years ago that was moored in the river within a mile of town. On one particularly high tide I decided to go check on the boat and on getting there found kids had cut the lines with a penknife or something. A friend of mine gave me a long length of hemp rope he was throwing away. It was huge and big enough to moor a battleship. Except for the fact I could barely handle the stuff it was problem solved :-)
Brilliant episode - fascinated by the splicing. Happy Christmas guys!
Happy new year to you both ,, the tides for January show a 10mtr plus on the 23/24 be carefull if it’s accompanied by a storm surge like in 2014 . .??
Do you wire the pins of your shackles so they don't come undone ?
I woulda greased the threads on those shackles mate!
Have you ever thought of when the tide is in. To run your engines fore and aft to open your hulls bed in the mud
You and your family must have a really good New Year's Eve.
Best regards from Norway
Great job on the boat so far have been following it for a very long time. Is it possible we could see a time lapse from sunrise to sunset from the bow of the boat? Have a happy new year❤❤
Italy: "Let's put out an extra line as there's a storm coming..."
UK: "The sea of the north has summond hell to swallow all who floats upon her... we must prepare for battle!"
Love the measure whats two simons one jemma.
