Morning Tom! Always great to wake up to one of your videos! I can't lie, I've missed your DIY style videos! I'm really glad you're feeling better and back into content after all the delays. Hopefully the new vac and orbital sander will last you this time round! The new makeshift shed looks sturdy, fingers crossed! I'm loving the videos, and I'm already counting down the days for the next one! Stay well Tom!
Nice progress Your spreader system interested me a lot cause I have to do the same I am surprised by the mast rack when you Check shrouder position It is supposed to be far on the back isnt it ?
@@robusa4301 I would say the same mite the rack better it is So I guess the most important for the spreader is to dimension them based on the used rack And the one shown in vidéo looks far forward. Just an observation, nothing more ;)
I probably stood the rig up a bit too far when I was fiddling with it there (right before the 10 days later part) because my temporary side stays were too long. I’ll set it up with more rake when I make the proper stays at the end 😀
You can use carbon to reinforce (make stiffer)glass, but it doesn’t make much sense to wrap glass over carbon. The glass will bend until the carbon picks up the load then the carbon fails. At that point the glass takes over and fails. So the limiting factor is still the carbon. In other words stiff over flexible, not flexible over stiff. Real world is side stay reinforcement on a glass hull. You can use carbon uni to locally reinforce and spread the load. You can’t combine carbon & glass uni . The glass will bend until the carbon fails.
Yes, I think you’re right. I mainly used it because it was something light I had on hand that I had to tidy up the whole job, I probably could have got away without carbon or glass but I figured it was safer to build it strong!
It wasn’t too bad, but I did need to be careful that I didn’t turn it on and then put it against the hull because it was easy to go a bit too deep. I found it was safer to put it on the hull, then turn it on
Glad to see you're back in action so quickly mate, awesome work!
Thanks Matt!
Enjoying the videos. FYI the youtube playlist for this series is in the wrong order.
Thanks for pointing that out, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I have no idea how I’ll fix that, but there must be a way!

Thanks Finn, hopefully a few more boatbuilding videos and then I’ll be able to bring it to Sugarloaf!

9 degrees is the baseline for the mach 2 and exocet. I think its 8 or so for the new boats. Moth go faster with more rake.

Im looking at repainting my boat. How was the sanding process? Im worried about cracking and denting the hull with a rotary.
