I did say a few videos ago that in a video by the old sea dog he was in a river in New Zealand and one of your sister ships was there it was not long after he arrived in New Zealand he is a lone sailor from England sailing around the world I think he is still in New Zealand.
Suggestion: It's a wooden boat. Rather than cleaning problem areas with a pressure washer -- try a sandblaster with a tip for coarse medium. And use crushed walnut shells for the medium ! Cleans everything perfect. Doesn't wear down the wood. It comes out perfect. In the military we used crushes walnut shells to clean JET engines (Lycoming T53L13B) by injecting the medium into the intake stage and letting the medium blast clean the interior of the engine. I never forgot that. Can't say enough for it. Dry. No mess. I would avoid repeatedly saturating a lot of the old wood with pressurized water...
Thank you so much. I'd completely forgotten she isn't just a cool wooden boat/ship, but a cool MTB type costal military patrol vessel. A huge piece of history. Thanks for reminding me, and taking us all along on your historical restoration. It's a fun ride.
Patrick in the bilge: "Why is it so heavy?" Classic Si: "Cause it's ballast!" But, seriously, Simon is such a wonderful and patient mentor, teaching Patrick to drive the tender (among other useful skills.) This week was a great learning video overall, including the Southampton Boat Show. As work progresses, it's helpful and interesting being able to compare Sarinda with her sister ship, the Medusa.
The look of fun and enjoyment , Patrick will remember these memories of helping to rebuild sarinda for the rest of his life ! Simon and Gemma you are lovely the way you interact and bring Patrick into the restoration , he’s obviously having the most fun !
Here's an idea for that lovely insulated bag you have... take an empty milk jug, fill it almost full then freeze it. It won't leak in the bag and will keep the contents cold. You can even drink the cold water as it melts. We use this idea in the US after a hurricane.
Brilliant on so many levels; young Patrick's obvious joy in experiencing life afloat, the direct caparison to Medusa. You guys just continue to knock it out of the park. Thanks for allowing me to watch your great journey ☺️
With the bag if you freeze bottled water and put the bottles in the bag it will keep the milk fresh longer ,and as it melts you’ve got water for you’re tea .👍🇬🇧
Simon, Simon, Simon, you must wear chain mail, respirator, 2 pairs of eye protection, fire protection and 6 layers of Kevlar and nomex....or just your Brazilian banana hammock when grinding.....
Bit by bit your getting there, It's going to be hard work but I'm sure your the right people for the job, And when you get a little low just look back to see how far you've come, you should both be very proud of yourselves
I saw the Ray Green sign on the fishing boat, Ray was a very good friend of the Hansen Family. We owned a speed boat that Ray made in his factory. My Dad and I was there to watch it being made. After Ray passed, I think his son took over the business. I remember the Quansit Huts that he worked out of in Toledo, Ohio. I think he moved to Florida and we lost contact.
looks like poor old Simon needs a pair of new trousers bless him, A great video love young Patrick learning new skills you never know he could become a shipwright when he grows up looks like you have a ton of work to do but I think once you have got the hull done the rest will follow on quickly as Simon has some mad skills in woodwork so it will look amazing when finished and a boat which will envy everybody can't wait to see her progress on so all the best from john from Rugby Warwickshire UK.
My suggestion, If you're keeping that old Shot ballast, break it down into smaller manageable units So have you ever have to move it again It'll be a little easier.
Supper vid though you make a mess cleaning up the bilges. Salindra just keeps getting better lots of work done so less to do from here on. love to listen to your accent takes me back i was born in Huyton 1941. stay safe and well all of you and your great helpers Ed 40 S of Vegas.
You two continue to amaze me. Those bilges are total disaster and you make them look so good! Keep up the good work. What you have done looks amazing!! That fishing boat ....wow!
Simon & Gemma, 10 out of 10. Young Patrick will have this experience throughout all of his life👍👍 I wish there were more people like you both in the world. You are the best example I have seen in my life as teachers you both are exceptional. Patrick is one of those children, like both of yours, is going to do very well in life and the more you encourage, will bring them to the stage where they need to be,well done and please keep up the work. From a grandad of 59👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Ingenuity and perseverance are your hallmarks, it's how you deal with adversity and setbacks (and shit water !) that inspire me at my old age to have a go at stuff. I have a technical background but since retirement have lost so much confidence, this kind of stuff that we see your doing every week has re kindled my ambitions (to very good effect so far but I won't bore). Thank you !
Hi Dave, as a possible fellow Septuagenarian may I offer my own ethos; Go as far as you can, for as long as you can, learning what you can, sharing what you can. Peace!
Sarinda needs the ballast to compensate for the six twin berth caravans which have been plopped on her deck. The superstructure raises her centre of gravity above her centre of buoyancy making her unstable and would cause her to roll like a sick cow, making her uncomfortable and unsafe in anything but a windless, flat calm. The added ballast corrects that problem. The large profile of the deck-house also makes her very susceptible to the force of the wind which could cause her to drift to windward in any sort of breeze.
Apart from breaking the River Test Speed limits of 9 knots in the channel and 6 on the side of the channel, I remember how Southampton Boat Show started before the big business moved in and took over. It used to be local river users, selling of surplus equipment, local boat builders selling new boats, nets, floats, etc etc, it was free to enter Mayflower park back then. Southampton use to have a very healthy fishing industry
This craft, this dying entity, is a tremendous/herculean task, taken on by youse insanely driven individuals at the point of if's last leg standing, you've picked it up-carrying it out of despair and I can only say that you have the one thing the rest of us don't and would've quit by now...and that one thing is...MOXIE !!!
Simon & Gemma, thanks for the interesting content. I know I am an Ole salt from Maine but as someone who loves history and has a passion for it I am always teaching youth from my kids to those I have coached over the years about history when given the chance. Thank you for being such great mentors.
As a retired long distance truck driver, , i used to put my bottle of milk in the freezer on Friday night, then take it out monday morning on way to work, it would thaw out a litlle at a time, so enough for a brew throughout the day, and it kept itself chilled.
For my onboard cool box I fill 1 or more used 2L milk containers with water and stick them in the freezer at home. When used n board it keeps the cool box nice and cold without water sloshing about then you can bin the containers when your done
Another excellent episode. It was really great that you were able to look into 'Medusa's' bilges to compare important details of the HDML's construction.
I really enjoy keeping up with your progress on Sarinda. It’s amazing considering I’m thousands of miles away in Kentucky. I had no idea that the ballast was so stuck in place and difficult to move. The worst jobs are always in the bilges!
Great way to save energy Gemma 😁👍Being offgrid with no fridge I am happy it's Ice-cream on the porch season soon :) Simon my back hurts watching ya man!
That "fishing" boat was awesome! How cool was that man to let you both "have a go" at it too! Pretty soon sarinda will be eatin' the waves just the same.
I watched another boater take the metal pellets of balast and put it into 6 inch pocket pipes with oil and seal it. Made it easier to weigh, handle and place in the bilge.
Ever watch the film the Great Escape? What you need to do is to tie bags of the shot ballast to your upper thighs under a pair of baggy trousers. Then walk on to the saltings and, when the Prison guards aren't watching, untie the bottom of the ballast bags and walk around in an inconspicuous way occasionally shaking a leg to free up any blockages. That way I'm sure you'll be able to hide a good few kilos of ballast without anyone getting suspicious and remember...if challenged in English reply in German. Your chances of escape will be massively improved. Viel Glück!
About that lack of water: If you guys drove a sand point well in -- of course it would just be another anchor -- you would have clean water whenever you want.
Drop a freezer brick or two in your cooler bag. Works really well. Also you don't have to deal with melted ice water. If your deck beams will take the weight, lash an IBC forward and one aft then plumb to the rainwater pipes. Less reliance on cartage/pumping. You could use 55 gallon barrels alternately.
Crazy idea but because you are going to be there a long time rebuilding. What about building a conveyer belt to lift all the ballast out of the boat onto the land for temporary storage until later ??
I never thought fish would be able to swim as fast as the "fishing" boat. 🤣 What a great bit of kit that is she can cut through the water as a fair old lick. 👍👍
Another great episode, Thanks. Here a thought to ponder. When you rebuilt the rest of the topside, if you reduce the height and weight above water (smaller Aft saloon, more sun deck, no fly bridge, less heads, lower heavy stuff), the less ballast you will need, which then means less draft in the water.
Omg I love your content in repairing sarinda but your coverage of the boat show was fantastic. I now really want to go next year. I haven’t been since I was about 12 yrs old which was a long long time ago now. Thank you!
I think what you are calling a gun support is a structural subsoul bulkhead. They aren't as good as a full watertight bulkhead so usually they come in pairs about two to 3 foot apart and form a cell to stiffen the boat from racking torque.
Check sailing Yaba for ballast solutions. The filled custom cut, pvc pipes with some sort of shot and sealed them up to be used as ballast. Might work for you?

Every kid should have a mentor like Simon. His teaching that young fellow how to operate the boat shows how mentoring should be done.
Yes right and i do/try the same for my kids. Sometimes a stressfull job, haha.

I really enjoyed every part of this video, especially Gemma driving the fishing boat!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it x
Love sailing melody crew also. Great minds think alike
Removing the ballast. What a thankless task. But, as always, tackled with a cheerful enthusiasm. When finished she will be a happy boat

Great to see teaching your lad what about a lifejacket.
He had a lifejacket on!
Ghost Suzuki outboard is absolutely awesome. Wow!
hello. To pack the ballas, the best are 4" thin PVC pipes with welded caps. Good luck.
Another reason for the ballast is the house works that have been added to Sarinda, which raises the boats center of gravity

Who remembers that tv show, some time in the 70's, with the boatyard, and the old chap who wouldn't build the 'modern' way? I cannot recall the title.
@@hamshackleton Harold way, filmed on the Hamble river
I like the cut of young Patrick's jib. Quiet, attentive, and watchful. A man in the making.
So much work done. So much more to do. Every step in the right direction is a step closer to seeing her on the open water, motoring along

It was great to have him back!

Looked fun in that v6

So enjoyed this establishment of ship happens (still makes me chuckle) looking forward to the next installment. stay safe J.
Hey guys you should watch Yaba they had the same problems with ballast and made a pretty neat way to put in the ballast. Excellent work keep it up.

I believe iron causes oak to rot. Added to rain water leaks, it’s a surprise that you don’t have a lot more rotten timbers.
Great vid and loved the boat show and thast cruise on the fishinh boat. Keith
Thankyou

What a day and your trip around the Medusa will give you an insight for what’s to come. Great video and pencil me in for Simon’s small boat lessons.
скоро 100 эпизод надеюсь что-то необычное покажите)))))
Great episode guys. Don’t envy you emptying all that ballast. Will ring you tomorrow to arrange coming to visit lol
Nice mix a bit of work and some play, always look forward to Friday's episode, you do need the machine guns, got to look the part.
need some pvc plastic pipe 4 inch with caps on both sides fill the shots from bags or ballast easier to move less mess
I think that you are both an absolute inspiration. The positivity and general attitude you display is highly commendable. Well done.
Suzuki, for when you feel the urge to fish really, really fast! Love the videos.

Hi Brian! How are you? X
You all show more dedication to Sarinda than I can imagine.
It is fantastic how all HDMLs were constructed differently in different yards around the world, well done too you all, history in the making.
It is amazing how different they are, just goes to show there is more than 1 way to build a boat!
@@ShipHappensUK what also be great when outside of Hull done put/paint some Draught marks on the Bow, Midshipman and Aft. Lovely historical edition.
that was like watching a real bad archeology digging

Great episode guys, really interesting.😊
Use UHT milk last all day with out frigid 😊
I freeze a 2 litre bottle of water and it'll last for at least a day in a cooler bag.
you might consider ear plugs while working in enclosed spaces
That mess just doesn’t stop 😢

Very interesting and informative vlog today! Keep up the great work!
In the winter leave the milk outside ya div 😂
I hope you are protecting your kids from all the lead ballast.
