Building a 41ft Boat!! Fuel Tanks, Wet Exhaust and Cockpit Fibreglassing, ***Episode 34***
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Episode 34.
In this episode it is time to make a start on building the starboard side fuel tank framing below the pilot birth. Once the birth is framed out i can the get the 3D tank template made up so we can trial the installation through the narrow gap into the birth. Then i can deliver the template and give Uplands the go ahead to make the two new stainless steel fuel tanks.
Another pleasing job to get completed was to finish installing the wet exhaust.
Passing through the bulkhead into the aft end of the port side pilot birth i run the hose up to the custom goose neck Uplands beautifully made for the boat. From there it is time to drill the biggest hole in the boat yet.
This will be for the through hull for the exhaust outlet.
Finally it is time to get the cockpit fibreglassed!!
Another exiting step forward is to have Izzy join the team to help out with the editing of these videos. Really looking forward to seeing how progress will unfold now i can focus on the work whilst Izzy is producing the videos!
Thanks a lot Izzy you've done a great job!

See you next time.
“hoover it up” translates easily to vacuum. enjoyable guy to listen to
Liking the new editing. Top job Izzy. Great to see such good progress on the boat to. Steaming ahead!
Now that Arabella is in the water for sea trials and Tally Ho is not to far behind, your channel is my fix for yacht refurbishing. As they say, I like the cut of your jib. Cheers from 🇨🇦
KP from Arabella is restoring a boat she just recently bought, Don't forget her!
@@TheRealGraylocke what is her YT channel name?
..and Finn is ex Tally Ho, so she completes a circle.

You definitely have not got to worry about have i made things strong enough or not. The bulkheads under the fuel tank are well beefy. Far better that way than not being strong enough. You seem to be getting the videos out more frequently which is good news and having someone to do the editing should take a lot of pressure off. Both you and the boat have come a long way. Without doubt this is going to be a very well put together boat.
Keep going Finn. I have followed you since you were with Leo. The boats coming along fine.
Good to see you posting again and making progress.
Thanks Finn 👍🍺
More to come!
Good content and commentary!! Thanks!!
Dear Fin, like your vids. Your boat needs a name? Clouds
I remember Finn from Tally Ho. I am here, I now follow you and Leo.
Thank you.
Well Done!
The editor did a fantastic job! But she can't edit what you don't film. 😂 Great video! A lot of great progress. Thanks Izzy!!
Thank you!! 😊 yes editing what isn’t there is tricky! Izzy did a grand job of what she had!
Love this channel. So good you have help on the videos. Editing is one of the hardest things about video making, a real skill and Izzy is a great addition to your team.
She's coming right along.
Good to see the progress you are making Finn 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
She’s really coming along!
More spectacular carpentry, Finn. Great to watch your progress. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍
Just got me some Leo time and then low and behold a Finn video…..I am off to buy a lottery ticket…….today is my lucky day
Ship happens..sailing Yaba..also pearls in them own way about ship building
Good luck!
really great job take care
A Finn video! Whoop! (It's like watching Leo when he first started)
You're doing a fantastic job with the boat dude.
Absolutely top notch.
Nice one fella!!
Thanks 👍
I was hoping for a new post and hey presto!! Glad to see more big progress being made and things to tick off the endless "To Do" list. Great work Finn - it all looks plenty strong enough to withstand the rigors of sailing. Keep at it mate!!
Well there you go! Thanks Philip! Feels pretty great!
Finn, one thing I learnt many years ago and always do since.. is I Double clamp any hose fittings just in case the first clamp breaks or comes loose..
There will high torque hose clamps doubled up on ever connection. Thanks for the advise
I like the fast speed you used to go through each process, we viewers get to see the whole build without being bored. Nice job keep up the good work. Thanks for the video, Dan.
Thanks 👍
Good work as usual Finn, I always enjoy watching 😊
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks always for the great video! Your new editor seems very cool plus the Bluegrass soundtrack is always a favorite... / Fair winds, Cheers
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks a lot
Looks great ! cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
you got this brother!
This was some good boat building content. :)
Might I suggest several well placed signs: “Keep calm and turn on the bleedin’ camera!” 🇬🇧😊
@19:58 I'm happy to hear this. That is the correct way!👴😉😊
People usually tighten it up right away pressing most of the "gasket forming" caulking out...👴🤔🤨❌
Hi Finn, well done on all your many and varied achievements to date, not least the beautiful Silver Lass you worked on (Episode 26) that in "my" latest Classic Boat Mag May 2023 - (needless to say we are running way behind down here in NZ!) got highly commended for restored Power Vessel. Slightly off topic, Western Flyer which I am sure would have been there in your time at Port Townsend got overall winner, but it was most odd how those wonderful videos put out by Chris Chase abruptly stopped, whereby Leo actually did the re-launching video on his channel.....? Nevertheless, wonderful to hear (for all us "gluttons") we will see more of KnotFINNished thanks to You and now Isabelle. All the very best Finn, you are doing great!
Great to see the amount of work you got accomplished in this video, keeping up the great work should be easier now that you have editing help.
Good to hear that you have help from Izzy to help edit the videos for ya, Welcome aboard Izzy looking forward to see you be able help Fin produce more content. Cheers Fin. Ya have to get yourself an alarm Fin to help remind yourself to record your videos ...so we can have more content to watch. LOL
I’ll put up some signs to remind myself to hit record
Awesome! Can't wait till she sails!
Me neither! ⛵️
Hello Finn, it seems all my favorite YT Sailors/ boat builders are dealing with/building their cockpits at or about the same time, with in 6 months maybe. lol Cheers from Sequim! Nice to see the dream still alive.
Nice Work
Thanks
Paused it to read the back of your shirt - _ARB_ ! I'm a retired climber - NCH-Arb.! Resto-modding my '98 Merc bus. Still at the weld/fab stage (filthy) right now - can't wait to get stuck into the more decorative woodworking part of the project. Will be stealing your plywood template idea for my tanks as there's _NO WAY_ any engineer's will be able to translate my dodgy measurements!!
_CHEERS!_
GREAT WORK-NICE AND NEAT ALSO!! Cheers, Rich
Many thanks!
Great work lad, appreciate all the effort you’ve made.
To Isabelle
I followed Finn over from his stint at Tally Ho. I watch both channels for woodworking etc skills. Finn is quite skilled.
Verbal descriptions, however ,are less skilled. They could be rehearsed for terseness. I am so glad you are helping him get back to building.
I love the little rough edges on his videos though.
@@cabanford❤
Get lost 😂 fin doesn't have to meet your standards, he is perfect the way he is.
We’ve got to start somewhere! My communication with the camera after three years is still probably the hardest part of the project. Feeling comfortable having a conversation with a camera is not easy! I am trying some new techniques to feel more relaxed in front of the camera! I.e having a friend near by so I talk to them rather than the camera. Seems to help.
@@knotfinnishedyet9170 Heya Finn - no stress, you're doing a great job 👍⭐😎
Nice one Finn also nice to see you again
Hey, thanks
Finn, saw your video and Leo’s video at the same time…. Guess who I chose first? 😊 Great progress and this Oyster Ketch is in the right hands and will see water for the first time in its life because of you! You and Leo just may sail side by side sooner than one thinks! (Need a video of that btw… ) Fair winds good sir!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love it keep it up as always 💘
kudos finn, on being resilient and finding the path forward. godspeed.
Nice work!
Nice steady progress, good.
Nice!
You have matured as a person since you started this project and your skills have improved. Well done. You will love this boat 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Lots of progress! Love your work!
Thank you so much 😀
You and Leo would make great pirates...
Many thanks for this nice video. Hope to see more progess soon👍
Fine Business!!! CHEERS from HERE!
Good work Finn. Looking forward t seeing the new tank go in.
Dear Mr. Finn
👍👌👏 A lot of work/progress happened in this video. Congratulations 🎉 Hope you will put on some pounds of weight soon (you are still looking pretty skinny).
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
Thanks a lot! Don’t worry about me. I’m looking after myself. This is a very active lifestyle along with the added exercise that comes with a puppy!
Great work as always Finn.
Thank you very much!
Great work Finn, she’s looking ace!
Nice mate. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for watching!
What a great start to my day Thanks for the video Finn and Isabel
Glad you enjoyed it
Cant wait to see more content,you are doing an awsome job love it ,cheers from Australia .
Thanks so much!
You are Knot nearly Finnished yet but getting there with some quality work along the way as we have come to expect of the build, can't wait for the next installment.
Love your new style of content, keep up the great work, cheers 🍻
Thanks, will do!
Nice Tuareg music.
With fittings like that you’ll sail circles around that old barge Tally Ho. Great video. Great narrations great pacing great editing. Cudos to your new crew member.
Thanks 👍
I love watching your videos from Philippines, I picked up on you when you were with Tally Ho.
I think it's great to have help with editing from Izzy, but I have a problem with the very fast framing shots to show the whole processes in a short time. I should also voice a concern for anyone watching with a tendency towards epilepsy, the flickering can cause them issues.
Thanks for sharing the great work. Martyn
What a huge improvement to your video production! More interesting, more exciting, more enjoyable. Wishing you a million subs.
Thanks a ton!
Good practice to put two hose clamps on anything connected to an overboard. Also good to have a valve on any overboard
As mentioned in the video, the jubilee clips are temporary! High torque exhaust clamps will be doubled up on every connection.
FYI...Love the videos. Just a suggestion. Decrease the volume on the music so that it matches the volume while you are speaking. Every time you go to music, I have to turn the sound down since it is so loud, and then turn it back up real quick when you start talking again.
Noted! Thanks for the advise, it will be something we work on going forward
👍👍
🤘!!!
I forgot to hit the like button, but it is just like the others! Record, like whats the difference?
👍
ps u r amazing
Thanks! Very kind of uou
Finn be sure to include tank mounts integral to the tank which would then bolt to the structure. Don't rely on holding the tank to the boat by sitting it in some kind of wood cradle.
Don’t worry. I did mention in the video that there will be some tabs on the top of the tank to allow bolting down to surrounding beams.
I was looking for you in the crowd at Port Townsend, Wa. at the launching of Tally Ho; did you get to go?😊🎉
👍👍😎👍👍
I really enjoy your site. I wish you well with it, you seem to know what you're doing. I'm an old US Navy vet from the Viet Nam area and love the ocean. By the way where is your dog?
Thank you very much! I’m glad you are enjoying the project!
Koda was around making sure everything goes to plan!!
Finn, not sure of your time line, how much progress is there in real time, but if you haven’t finished the coach roof have a think where you are fitting cabin lights and if you can hide the wiring in the roof beams. Guess why I suggest this?
⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
Great editing Izzy, even if the cameraman is a little forgetful.
Nice music too, but to be picky, a little loud in places compared to the soft-spoken Finn. The music over the credits at the end was perfect!
Thanks for the tips!
Hi finn great work from a tradesman boat builder, have being watching Leo from the start and you as well. the yellow foam on the inside of the hull... if it is some sort of foam? would that not attract dampness inside the hull? growing the black mould etc ? regards Warren Owen....
New Zealand
Thanks a lot!
The inside of the hull was spray foam insulated before I purchased it! I would like to think this will not suffer from damp
She’s built like a tank, nice fuel tank. You may get some wood burn from the top of your exhaust U bend, we stole some metal heat guard from a car wreckers, off an old Truck manifold all of £5!
Those hatches in the bottom of the cock pit, will they have any lip off the floor to stop sloshing water going down? Have you thought of moving them to the side walls instead? A pain I know chopping out holes but would be dryer. I don’t know what the hatches lead too. Love the music as always, going well!
Yess, we haven’t finished with the exhaust yet, still bits to add! Some protection to the surrounded wood will be part of it!
The cockpit hatches have been purchased. Compression seal hatches will be fitted! With a cover to go over the top of them. They are to access the locker under the cockpit behind engine bay. There are ball valves to cockpit drains beneath and extra storage.
@@knotfinnishedyet9170 I knew you’d be on it. Fine work, great to watch
Maybe a silly question at this point but is this a ferrocement hull or what?
finn can you tell us about insurance as ferro are pigs to insure
Port lights or holes in the sides of the cockpit for light in the berths?
There will be some type of port light going in the cockpit sides indeed! One step at a time
has Finn ever shown us a sailplan ? with those chain plate holes so far aft is this a yawl , ketch or is it a sloop ?
I have not showed a sail plan as of yet, but it is under way. As we speak our local smack builders years, Testers has a sailmaker on site, together we are making plans and drawings to design the perfect rig for the boat. I will be making a video specifically talking about our rig plans very soon!
Just curious; but don’t you need a syphon break at the top of the gooseneck?
There will be an anti syphon installed between the heat exchanger and the water trap!
Good, but keep your unic style in videos. At least I like the way you tell us the things that are happening etc. So keep on the good work.
So you are using a closed cooling system?
No, there is a raw water intake to the heat exchanger. Then put through the wet exhaust
Why not put the fuel tanks in the aft cockpit opening or farther back in the quarter births so you can have storage for tools, food, clothes etc under the quarter births..
The tank are going below the quarter births to allow easy access to install component to connect fuel lines to engine. And to reach access hatch. The space at the aft end of the births will still be accessible and be plenty of storage space.
Nice. Nothing to do with the boat itself, but the music level is too loud compared to the voice level.
i would like to know if the tools are ur personel tools, if they r u got it going on.
They are my own tools, many years of working hard to collect a good collection of useful tools!
I hope liz will continue using the same type of background music that has become your standard. It really adds to the meditative effects of watching you working, cheers.
Finding music is challenging, finding music that works with the videos is even harder! We will try to keep the same standard up!
Much to much speedup…makes it difficult to watch. But..it’s good to see the work on youre boat again.. 👍🏽
Nicely edited, but the music segments play at a much louder level than the speech, forcing me to keep turning the volume up and down. Other than that, nice detail work, your floating cement block will be as strong as it will be comfortable!...
Sorry about that, we will be working on all of these little niggles!
I swear I saw an episode a few days ago, titled "there is a hole in my boat". Now I am confused. Have you changed the title?
That is this episode, you read that on the video thumbnail.
Hey Finn, if you want to improve your on camera delivery, stop speaking 'to the camera' better to think of a good mate you really want to update on the incredible shit you have been up to. It will help temper your obvious nerves on speaking to camera. You are however in a fairly unique position with your appearances on leo's vids way back when, to look at your delivery both 'to camera' and the stark difference to your informal speech patterns. Leo is a natural, you will need to work on those nerves. Men of Kent, stand proud!
I’m working on it man, I feel more and more relaxed every video I do! Leo is a natural, it will come with time I hope
@@knotfinnishedyet9170 Yeah, Leo is a natural (smug git!) I used to do 3 hour live spoken word radio shows and the only way I ever sounded 'natural' was when I picked someone I knew was listening and delivered the whole show as if I was simply in conversation with them on the phone. Did nothing to stop my cold mic stage fright, but you'd never know if you heard me after hitting the 'live' button and opening the mic.
I really don't know why yachters use fiberglass cloth there is no unilateral strength in using cloth. if you use 1.5 Oz Mat you double the strength of the fiberglass. And in my opinion it's easier to work with than cloth. If you come to a sharp edge you you can bend the fold to break down the fibers of the mat and it will tuck right in closely . I've worked with fiberglass for over 50 years most of the people that say use epoxy are selling it to you for how many dollars per compared to polyester which is easier to work with than epoxy and far more less money and will do the same job
Surprised that you did not include a sea cock, at the exhaust thu-hull. As is, you are just one hose clamp away from sinking.
There will be a ball valve fitted to the inside of the skin fitting for extra safety. Just has not yet been delivered hence why it was not in the video. Also there will be two high torque hose clamps on every connection rather than just jubilee clips.
Thanks for the comment though 🙌🏽
@@knotfinnishedyet9170 Cool! Would be pretty annoying to lose your boat to a hose clamp 🙂
Too long Finn id prefer 10-12 minutes videos and more of em
Noted! Will be working on some shorter video to release more frequently
Too much hi-speed video. Establish what it is you are doing, show the start of the process, speed up any repetitive work, but show the detail of the installation. Speeding up from start to finish in consecutive chapters is just annoying. Hi, Izzy! In no way meant as destructive criticism, just one viewer's reaction. It's a new project; you'll have it nailed in time.
Thanks for the tip, there will be adjustments and improvements as we go along I’m sure.
