    Just a tip on cutting line on boat: put a couple of firm wraps of tape around it before you cut - now cut through the tape so core doesn’t fall apart.
    Then burn the ends. Rigging 101.

    James, check your motor mounts on your generator. That motor seems to be rocking just a little to much.

    • @garye4145
      @garye4145 3 года назад +7

      I also noticed that. It was rocking pretty good when it was starting.

      @@stelioshondrocolos1869 Why the hell are you so offended? I never questioned his qualifications and there was certainly no intention of insulting James abilities. I was only observing what I saw. I was wondering if it's normal for a diesel engine to rock that much as it is starting.

    • @johnlifton-jones8365
      @johnlifton-jones8365 3 года назад +1

      If a diesel is struggling for fuel it rocks more than a rocking horse till it gets sufficient fuel...

    Every sailor felt your pain when that halyard came apart . I wire them together with a bit of mechanics wire . I poke it through both lines an inch or two back loop and twist together facing away from the direction it is going then tape them up to be one line so no spot is two lines trying to get through the sheave . Like a link in a chain - the lines do not overlap and the tape makes it a smooth transition with nothing to get hung up.
    Won't break, fits the sheave because the line is not doubled up and you can tug on it more than with other ways . When done pull out the wire and put it back in the tool box - everyone should have a bit of mechanics wire in the tool box .

    James, I have been following you you for several years now. when I first found your channel I thought you were a bit of a Jerk. But when ever I searched on how to make certain repairs your videos keep coming up. I found myself coming back to your channel. You were always able to get things working in most harshest of conditions and in most cases with what you had available. Your videos have gotten 100% better from the first one I watch. I have become a Fan and look forward to your videos each and every week now. 👍

    • @thelastpirate

    At the end of the video when you thought you had it threaded through and the splice obviously gave way.
    That look of you staring up at the mast says it all.
    "S#*t".
    We've all been there many times....

  • @forgetn
    @forgetn 3 года назад +3

    Impressed with your progress. Your rigging looks “ok” but you know that, as long as you sail in good weather only with divert ports the boat will be fine till Florida where the cost of major upgrade will be so much lower. You know this better than most, take your time, wait for weather windows and enjoy the ride

    For your lines, a snake works great. It's works with the same idea of a finger puzzle the harder you pull the more it grabs the rope or cable. Something to look into if you like. Great job though. Good to see you back like the work your doing take care be safe..

      Dyneema (Spectra, etc.) is best cut using a ceramic blade. Steel blades get dull very quickly on those materials

    It always comes apart easier. When I was young my uncle had a 76 triumph in about a 100 pieces all around the house and garage. I asked my aunt once about it and she told me it cost a lot to get it tuned up and rebuilt....well that bike has yet to be rebuilt and I asked the question 30 years ago. At least you got those furlers to work in a lot less time.

    @myinfinitestate1586 3 года назад +6

    G'day James, I reckon your rigging needs attention mate. There were several lines that were chaffing and need replacing. The rigging looked to be on its final passage, assuming you're not planning on bluewater, open-ocean cruising with these dodgy lines. Your current lines are roasted. Due you have access to new Dyneema, Spectra, or Vectran lines. Plus, those winches looked spotty as hell. I don't know if you have access to newer winches like Anderson, Harken, Lewmar, or Atal? I watched you clean your furlers ~ it was obvious, the bearings and seats were rusted. Unless dismantled, you don't know the extent of internal damage and corrosion. Good luck getting Zingaro cruising mate. Be safe and enjoy. Cheers from Margaret River, Western OZ 🇦🇺.

    • @johnmayer3433
      @johnmayer3433 3 года назад +1

      The balls in the bearings are made of Delrin (Polyoxymethylene POM) and the housings are cast aluminium, so no rust. James analysed it correctly as being dust, sand, etc. that has accumulated in the bearings over the years.

Things are getting better for you. We are all exited to see more videos of this quality and enthusiasm. You are great. As you are able to create more time, Zingaro is coming back to life.
