This is one of my insta-watch channels.
Nice to hear it, mate!
Same. So good.
Yep. Takes priority on Friday.
Same! Love it! 😂
Me too.. Just about my favourite boating channel, although I follow Quenet Yann closely too.
"becoming one with dyneema" while having dyneema hair was a crack up
Thankyou 😊
it,ll be fine
I buy & sell shackles as part of my chandlery & I know how some from dubious sources fail.I have to make it clear to customers when selling some cheap shackles that they are not tested & should not be used for high load applications. Even so they still do & I have seen things like mainsheet shackles break. I bought a batch to sell very cheap but have now dumped them. If I were you I would pay the extra & get Wichard shackles or some of known SWL & be sure of the quality.
You're a funny man buddy...😂
Mark you are doing a great job
You seem to grow in confidence and ability with each week. I often picture your Ma and Pa watching thing back home, reading the comments and nearly exploding with parental pride. Carry on Mark, you seem to be living your best life.
For sure!
You’ve gone from snow , ice , rain and now heat.
But then look how far you’ve come
For what its worth, I sailed around the world with a 46 foot steel ketch. Weighed 16 tones. I started with 10mm chain of 20m length and increased that to 30m later and then polypropylene rode 25mm. This let's you anchor almost anywhere while keeping weight down. The polypropylene advantage is that it floated free of the bottom when slack and thereby eliminated bottom chafe in gravelly or corally situations..
Cheers Peter.
Good info
That's a very helpful comment for us, thank you.
@@abovetheroses-3799agreed 👍
“One with the dyneema.” 😆😆😆
Great Video
Brilliant mark, look how far you’ve come since you left north wales & sailed through the French canals! Well done! 👏🏻
That rusty anchor is called ¨pool-anker¨. It does work but its holding-power to weight ratio is low.
Secondhand Delta-anchors are a reliable purchase. Better still invest in a modern oversized anchor. (Mantus, Rocna)
Its worth it.
Good tip, You'll always worry if your anker is too small. But you'll never worry that your anker is too big :D
I second the Rocna anchor. I had a Vulcan and it was a great anchor.
Best to go with the right sized Rocna. A second anchor is useful as a stern anchor.
I was going to say to him, please invest in a modern anchor they are a world apart from that c. QR and whatever that other thing is. We have 2 mantus onboard. Rocna you can not disassemble and our second is a storm size that is broken down and stored below. There is no worse feeling than anchor drag at night on a lee shore in a storm. Mantus plus anchor alarm and you will sleep well.
We use a Spade anchor and we never use an anchor alarm. Been cruising and living at anchor for 10 years with a Spade anchor. 40,000nm. Get the right anchor and you don't need an alarm
Nice one!
"Becoming one with the Dynema!"😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep on keeping on young fella.
Im hooked on a few boat building channels. This one, Magic Carpet, the Duracell Project and Tally Ho. The difference is, the other three are building their boats more meticulously. Tally Ho and Magic Carpet are works of art, True craftsmanship. They do it like I wish I could. You do it like how I would. Not sure if I'm doing it right, but knowing it will serve me anyway. Boat is looking good. You should be proud.
Have a look at the boat by the river too, they’re building from scratch, you will enjoy binging on all the progress videos. They really are good.
Don't forget Rann Sailing a true Master Craftsman and world sailor. What a wonderful family 😃
Good Job and great music
Here's what I learned making the replacement chain plates, for my Narai MK I, out of 316 stainless bar stock. When you drill the stainless you must use the correct drilling speed and plenty of cutting fluid. If you don't, the bit will dull, the stainless steel will heat up and harden, and you'll destroy the bit. My rigger mentioned to me, that any place the stainless is heated, whether by drilling or welding, needed to be finished and polished to a high shine. He didn't know why, but a little research on my part, revealed that the heat drives the chromium from the surface of the stainless steel. The chromium is what makes the steel "stainless", and by polishing it, you bring it back to the surface. This is why you'll see a lot of stainless fittings rusting at the welds.
Additionally, if you drill your holes to the exact dimension you want, your bolts or shackles may not fit or be too tight. Once drilled, you should apply a reamer, of the correct size, to make the hole just a little bit bigger.
Mark! Serial here, if you need my work benches in the shop, you're welcome in Bussum!!
One word….FANTASTIC
Love the dreads man
Don't worry man, she'll be 1000% more fabulous with the mast up and all that blingy new stainless, dyneema and sails blowing around in the wind! You're doing good work. Cheers!
Bro is like if bob marley was caucasian 🤣🤣 love the part where you put the rope as dreads
I was thinking of Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge's old partner, when he was walking with the chains over his shoulders.
Don't forget some locking wire on those shackles! I've had too many of those fail..
I noticed you added wood on the bottom of your mask. You need to consider spreading the weight of the bolt heads over that wood even if it means adding a strip of stainless steel with matching holes otherwise the bolt area will be under too much stress for the wood.
No not really its totally ok if you calculate it .
Well done buddy 🙏
Great jazz🫶🏻
Amazing video
Hi Mark, your anchor is your best insurance from getting beached , so put your money where you are going to use it every day. The CQR anchor was invented in 1933 . My friend has one and drags all the time. I have a Rocna and have never dragged. I think a lot of technology has helped design anchors . I wouldn't want you upwind of me in an Anchorage.
I have CQR Anchor for 5 years now an never dragged
Is a 40” ferro sail boat and for 2 years i’m anchor day and night 😊
entertaining, factual, humorous and just plain nice.
Great stuff🎉
I would suggest acorn nuts for anything that protrudes upwards. Keeps the rain / salt out of the threads. Like those mast bolts, for example, pointing skywards.
This Mahi will be truly your boat Mark ❤. I don’t even mind watching the commercials 😊
loving the summer samba!!
lmao the casual dyneema dreads outta nowhere
😂
Getting close for anchors⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️away……smooth sailing and fair weather matey……⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Mark , maybe there ought to be a S.Steel Plate under the mast bolt heads on the wood Washer Wedge . Massive forces and vibrations ocean sailing will compress and split the THIN wood wedges ?
Kudos! You're doing an amazing job!
Love your work ethic- so looking forward to the hoisting of your mast 😉🫠😉🫠
I like the samba. I admire that you courageously drill holes without worrying about using a drill guide
You’re almost there !! Our must watch channel, it’s great to see your skills and finish improving week by week. Painting the deck would be the icing on the cake !
Buenas noches para ti también Marcos.😄
Wildling is the first channel I watch on a Saturday in Aus and todays Samba is a bonus
Can't wait to see you sailing!
Mark I think you're dyneema rigging will come out fine. That 30 centimeters lashing you have on the end of every stay should be more than enough to come and go on. Am really liking your work and looking forward to the mast going up. 🐟 😁
You can never have too much ground tackle, best insurance.
Getting closer every day. Nice job.
👍⛵
I will have to say I've been watching you since you first started and really didn't know how to use a screwdriver 😂😂 now seeing you work is a lot better!! You come a long way!!!
Well done, you are getting there, and the rigging experience will generate an income in time
Well Mark i have been silent as long as you've had your show... I have to say that I didn't think you were going to get tihs far in this amount of time but you have and I am amazed. Also you have grown in your knowledge base and humbly go about doing extremely complicated things that you make look simple. Bravo!
So good. Can't wait
Mount the spare anchor on the rear aft starboard cabin or the port, on the outside and use as a counter weight as well as an emergency stern anchor.
Well done, your knowledge curve is gaining. It's all good☮️.
your doing just fine👍
being out of your comfort zone is a common frequent feeling for sailors…it makes the adventure even more exciting and memorable and builds character
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
dyneema doesnt stretch. it creeps over time. what you did was to remove what we call "building stretch", which is basically cinching the whole of the stay to eliminate the bulging created by passing the fid thru the 12 strands ie, you force the strands to move one over the other till they reach their final position, which in your case was an additional 100 mm
So close! Stoked for you bruthah! Get it sailing 😎
Love the future view of Mark in the Southern Ocean in 10 years time with long grey hair .... focussed & happy!
looking forward to the mast going up 🤞🤞🤞🤞 on the stay lengths, good good good 😊
No worries 👍.
You could always just post a short when time is of concern.
¡Excelentes avances! Saludos navegante.
So nice to know there are more people out there that appreciate GOOD music.
Well done Mark 👏
Progress is Fantastic
Looking forward to seeing it.Sailimg 😅
I feel that some Cuban jazz would go well in your fantastic videos. Great work Mark keep going!
Nice, I’ll try and find some
Keeping the dream alive!
Howdy Mark I’ll gladly come to a sanding n painting party to help out.
I'm in the States so a bit out of reach 🤪
I love this channel mark I never miss one episode hope you take us all on RUclips on a great adventure all the best mark from Scott in Scotland uk 🇬🇧.
If the mast falls due to the bolts, it's not your fault, it's the nuts and bolts, all your doing is the best you can, and that's all anyone asked of you.
Good luck with everything next week Mark. 👍🏻
Good choice not to go too large with the dia of the dyneema . If you go too large it will never stretch out and you will find it will not hold tension, keeps stretching ( less of a problem with this flexible boat , low rig tension design) .
Cheers Warren
You go laddie, can't wait to see her under sail. Keep up the good work.😅
One may want to start with the longer stay so that with any mistake with length there is still the possibility to use the material on one of the shorter stays.
If the stays do come up long you can always cut them down, splice in a new eye and just use a real long lanyard. They will stretch and keep stretching but it’s all good.
Brilliant stuff
You can totally re-splice the stays if they're too long! Just tape up the tapers with electrical tape.
There's got to be a small metal fabrication shop near you that can easily and affordably be able to make those tangs you need
You're amazing. Keep up the great work.
I love your argument for the weight savings of dyneema, while sitting next to a cast iron bbq. Those should balance eachtoher out 😅
You can always shorten a stay... adding length is more of an issue but you can have longer adjustable tensioning sections to join them to your deck fittings.
You are amazing with the splicing well done.I can't wait to see the Mast up
Always look forward to seeing the progress, the boat has come a long way!
Fire rope skillz
Plenty of scope for adjustment in the lashings - better to have short stays and long lashings than no room for adjustment 'cause the stays are too long.
_Keep on ROCKIN'.!_
Thanks for posting and sharing. Best wishes going forward.
Keep up the good work you are nearly there
Hi Mark, this is getting more exciting, you are nearly there. After the rigging yourself it means that you now have a skill that could get you out of trouble at sea. Simply brilliant, thanks for sharing.
You amaze me my brother. Keep up the stellar work. And remember ...Safety First... Cheers from the flatlands of Alberta. Take her easy
It is just amazing what skills and knowledge this project has given you. Amazing and great to watch.
Nothing wrong with a diversion project which provides your brain a rest from calculations. Good idea 👍 Start again fresh.
I've lost too many anchors to not have a spare! That "pool anchor" is a great anchor... don't chuck it, keep it als a spare (store it more in the middle). Anchor chain is soo important for holing power, have as much as you can, I've been in the meltemi and mistral, being awfully happy with "too much" chain.. Remember when the sh*t hit the fan it's your last resort, your anchor gear is the "critical equipment"...
Well a very well traveled multihull sailor advised the opposite.
Minimum of chain, the nylon rode, as thin as you dare.
That gives maximum springiness against gusts.
@@markthomasson5077 I'm not a multihull sailor, so I might be wrong about chain and springiness. Nylon scares me a lot when it stretches, crazy amounts of kinetic energy waiting to slash at you ;-), but I guess it could work for gusts with a multihull! In my work we rely on the chain that get's lifted of the seabed, and the anchor actually keeps the chain stretched.
I'm probably not telling you something you don't already know, but since comments help the algorithm here goes. How about using the shorter chain length for ordinary situations then have the option to double it for deep anchorages or strong winds.
👍
Great idea, but it sounds like he'd be happier getting rid of the added weight.
To the best reasonable extent, weight should be carried low and centrally. Meaning neither bow nor stern. Total weight is still important on a multi hull, but I am of the opinion that the safety of extra chain and even an extra anchor stored in the right place is worth the weight. I think Mark's own experience dragging anchor in his previous cat backs that up.
It’s a quite a bit of work to splice the rode off and on the chain each time. You wouldn’t want to do that at sea probably.
Mast up, sails up, yes your prioritising the things that will get you out of the yard, then you'll have more cash for parts and supplies when you don't have to pay yard fees 👍 It's easier in the yard yes but it's also costly and you have solar panels and those big batteries so you'll be fine working at anchor.
When you were working with the anchor and then suddenly you were sitting there with a rope being held by your teeth, I had a moment where I was thinking “Holy hell, he’s holding that anchor chain with his teeth!” 😅 The mast base looks great and very stout!
So close, so close. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see her sail. Doing superb Mark.
Even if there are issues you are doing great work man and the journey is entertaining. Don’t be so hard on yourself! ❤
Hey Mark...I've been watching your channel since the get-go. I would watch it for the humour of the fumbles and mess ups, since I was doing the same at the time, and made me realize I was not alone. In the last few weeks (months) you have gone another level. I think the charts and measurements brought it home. A rough quote "It should be 3 degrees, but if the halyard stretches 4 centimeters that would bring it to 2.78 degrees which is within tolerance". Gawd love you pal!
Do what you got to do , love the videos ,. when you complete a job this size you'll have a great sense of accomplishment and joy. And we are waiting on this as much as you , and then let the good times roll .
We will be out of the football don't have beer put a video up your content is really good and will miss it if a video doesn't come out all the best have a good week
