Idea for hull life and longevity. Before fiberglassing and epoxy use Sho Sugi ban wood preserving technique, used by the Japanese to stop wood rot, repel wood borrowing critters etc, new product on the market as well that could replace fiberglass, which is basalt
Hi Mate , Great work you do ! Very great project ! Congrats on the birth of your Bub ! To you both . We’ll follow along watching progress ! Love c&h nth Qld .
interesting that the beam is so narrow compared to the trough. I guess that was to make room for the bolt/rubber of the original design? I guess that lip is to allow a plywood cover?
Yeah they were very large troughs on the Narai to make room for the original brackets, makes the beam look small but it’s definately not ! And yeah the lip is for the deck Thanks for watching along
Looks like an interesting solution. It may be an idea to feed the rope through the eye bolts from alternating sides each time to eliminate the turning effect that large loading would have on the bolt with the current set up. I imagine you plan to frap on both sides of that beam. Please keep posting on your progress, so cool to see more Wharram stuff on the net.
Mate that must of been heart breaking ! What did you make the replacements from ? Onto our next beam now and a bit more rot on this one, unfortunately I was told that our beams were Oregon when I brought the boat… I have now discovered that there just pine glue lam …. A lot of working going into sealing them now
@Sail Malolo I went an unconventional route and used "Glulam" beams off the shelf. They were taller so wouldn't fit under the deck covers of the Mk4. It then did 8 Atlantic crossings without issue (maybe more now with new owner)
This lashing was just for demonstration until we get the new rope. We have made a wooden leverage tool that we will use when we get the new rope the same as they used on Katipo for there voyages around Polynesia, we based our setup off his after conversing about it for quite a while and will use the same method as they did to tention 👍
@@sailmalolo the tension does not come from the lashing itself but from building many layers of frapping. That squeezes the lashings ever tighter and tighter.

He cool idea, maybe it’s possible to cnc cut a Wharram from basalt and epoxy it together less rot for sure.
I'm a knot expert. I was going tell u a better way to lash that but, then I relize, don't be a dick mate.
No im not i put 2 cleats on each beam, run it over to that with a leverage knott,

Thanks for following along Chris 👍
Hey guys you just popped up so I will go back and watch in sequence... love what you are doing! Crack on. SUBD + LIKED!
Great thanks Artiz 👍
I'm a recovering asshole

Luckyfisn shows how the polynesians showed him to make super strong lashings

Good idea thanks mate ! She is cranked very tight with sika flex but the forces of the ocean can always suprise!!!
Bit by bit…
That’s it small victory’s for now
You were lucky, when I bought our Narai the beams had rotted so had to be replaced...
Are the masts & sails good?

Great filming and explanation of the process 👍
Thanks mate slowly getting the hang of the camera stuff 👍
Awesome project boat!! It,s going to be a ripper!
Thanks so much :)
Aye m8s! I'm a bit worried (no criticism) …are you sure you'll get tension enough on these lashings?

Great! Looking forward to see all of this!
Thanks mate cheers for following along no advice is ever disregarded 👍

Good to see those big jobs getting done..I Know the boat so I'm really looking forward to seeing it all come together...👍😁⛵⚓
Thanks Pete :) any history on the boat is always great! Got some good stories off a previous owner
Can’t wait to bring her back to
Life
i,d like ta see a tourneqet twist stick incorporated
Please explain ? …
@@sailmalolo a modern tourniqet has a twist stick attached to fine tune the tension google it . would give u total tension control on yer spars
@@sailmalolo google it
goggle it
