- EP28 - To get ready for our drydock period in september, we're preparing the ship for the installation of a bow thruster. And we find two rare anchors that match the one we have!
Schoener Tijgerhaai (Tigershark) started life in 1944 as a canadian built tugboat and she has been in my family for almost 50 years. Together with my dad, I am rebuilding this beautiful sailing ship, to get her ready for new adventures!

Ep 28 Watch THIS Before Installing A Bow Thruster On Your Boat 
Авто/Мото
I see Tygerhaai is coming on nicely. Good to see Father and son working together.
Love to see father and son working together . Lovely boat and best of luck from the U.K.
I like how you are floating around on some bushes.
We call that nature inclusive building :)
It's great to see you guys back. She is coming along.
It´s really great to see a refit project done by people you know how to it with the tools to do it. Good with it. Oh and good luck with the Euro as well! But not too much as this time it´s our turn again =D Greetings from the host nation.
Hahahah thanks, and yeah we're eternally greatfull to have you as our host ;)
Great teamwork moving all that heavy equipment around . The bow thruster will make life less stressful for sure well worth the labor and expense .
Thanks! It better be!
Everybody need a Bow Thruster, it is called SAFETY.
Hmm, I thought it was called manoeuvring aid
@@tigersharkboatworks yes, by the weekends & TikTok sailors.
😂
I can’t wait to see this under sail either in the tropics or the poles.
Neither can we!
Mooi ‘staaltje’ werk heren !!!
So happy to see the latest update. Always interesting, and informative. Also great discussion on bow thrusters
Thanks! Glad to hear that :)
Bow thrusters make it a bit easier for small crew to dock with ease (in normal conditions)
great update 2x👍
Thanks, I completely agree :)
So wise , Thank You for sharing . Father and Son working togather a fine thing
when i was 8 years my father dropped the anchor like this one on his foot, he had to be airlifted, still remember the dent in his foot was as deep, as his foot was high
Oof, that sounds horrible!
Did you consider using a hydraulic bow thruster, or was it too much of a hassle like the diesel system?
Ah yes, forgot to mention. A hydraulic bowtruster will require a hydraulic pump that needs to be powered by something, either a diesel engine or an electromotor. All these extra steps mean losses in efficiency, so that option died very early in our orientation :)
YOU AND TOUR DAD ARE AN AWESOME TEAM AND I LOVE YOUR VESSEL! Good to see your channel and that you are steady at it! Be Blessed and Continue your great progress
THANKS A MILLION!
Really enjoy your videos. They are so logically arranged! And you two seem unafraid to take on any challenge. Full speed ahead.
Thank you! You're never to old to learn I guess :)
Cool great work worth another round be back in Holland before you know it
Thanks! See you around I guess ;)
De boegschroef mis ik nu in ons nieuwe project, goede keuze van jullie om er toch een te nemen👍⚓⚓
Hahah er kan nog wel een motorplank bij voorop ;)
Great teamwork and design thoroughness !
Thanks!
Nice content. She is a sailing ship coming back to life. Well done> Love the team work and construction details. Hello from Alaska.
Thanks! That's very kind :)
Nice😊
Your work raft needs a little mowing.😁
What about nature inclusive building? :)
Great to see another episode germo!
Bedankt Marcus
👍!!!
OK, have yet to watch the vid but going to put my opinion in already.
1) You never NEED to have a bow or stern thruster, you can manoeuvre your boat just fine without them.
2) It does not hurt to have thrusters, the extra manoeuvring control they add is a nice safety buffer for avoiding collisions in tight spaces like marina fairways.
3) insurers might offer lower premiums if you have them due to the extra control.
yes, they are not required but other than the costs of installation and maintenance they are basically free extra control for the hull.
Hahah good to start with that disclaimer, I fully agree with all your points :) now go watch the vid!
@@tigersharkboatworks I did, right after posting my comment. :p
I would also add a yacht-controller besides both bow and stern thrusters as a not required but nice bonus to control item. Wireless remote engine, anchor and thruster control letting you shift to best sightline for the current situation yet still have active control of the vessel.
It looks like quite a big modification to make everything able to be controlled wireless, but I'll look into that :)
@@tigersharkboatworks yachtcontroller is brand name of original model, multiple versions and companies producing them now.
The benefit of the original is they have an optional conversion module available, to convert old mechanical linkage engines to the digital wireless.
The wireless systems are more commonly put on motor yachts but they are just as useful on a sailing yacht.
Too funny - last week I asked about the weight of the anchor and this week is an anchor special.... - maybe you should start a mind reading business, in addition to your regular business. Very interesting video as always, thanks a lot for sharing.
Hahah I know right! Coincidence? I think not :)
Wat mooi om alles aan boord te kunnen takelen. Gebruiken jullie de spinakerboom?
Yess, maar we noemen het de passaatboom(en) omdat we geen spinnaker voeren maar 2 genua's
Best of luck with a fast and efficient installation of the bow thruster tube. Would it aid installation if a sacrificial plastic pipe was cut to size and used as a template since it would be easy to shape to fit, or are you planning a different method ? Best regards, and good luck to you both.
Smart suggestion! But we're gonna use a different method. First we'll cut the holes, then slide in the complete pipe and weld it in place. After that, we'll cut away the leftover material :)
@@tigersharkboatworks A better alternative for you obviously. The video will be interesting to watch, and planning is everything isn't it ? Good luck.
Another 2 hour job
We're SO fast
