Thanks Doug. It was the double stack block that my dad gave as a kid that led to me becoming a professional tree climber 20 years later.
Doug, I love your method of solving problems. Seeker is going to so great when she is done. Well done.
I learned about blocks and tackles when I was a kid. I had no choice. Mom had me moving heavy boxes to the attic back when things were changed out for the season. On the fold down stair, I built a box that would sit on the stringer and with a use of a 2:1 cheap block I would hoist all that stuff up there (or down) in one move. I also had a tree house; same solution.
It's nice you have lines tied to each tool that might be donated to Davy Jones. I learned that lesson from the top of a radio tower. Once is all it took.
Seeing that ultra calm morning bay shot warms my heart Doug. Loved the explanation and the fabrication to the rigging. While I was in the Navy on the USS Constellation CV64, we did catch all repairs, and modifications during what we called our shake down cruise. I think your right in the middle of it right now and well underway. Been watching your videos since almost day one and it never gets old mate. May you always have the sun on your face and the wind to your back.
Double Seeker time! Once on Patreon and another on YT. Keep 'em coming Doug. Great discussion on the block and tackle. Have a great week.
I failed intro Algebra the first time, but once I got the hang of Distance = Rate X Time math started making a lot more sense. Very versatile equation whether it's pulleys or hydraulics etc.
It totally amazes me to see how complex all that rigging truly is. I cant imagine that a person will ever be happy with all of it at the same time!
The end of this video brought back a great memory for me- when i was a kid my grandparents bought me a block and tackle for a birthday present! My grandfather passed recently, was really nice to be reminded of those fun times many years ago. Thanks Doug.
Wow - what a job to keep this boat going! I have to wonder if it is more work now to do all the additions and fixes than it was to build the boat!
If you want to be lazy, you don't even buy a boat. But if you love building and creating there are few things better than a home built boat.
That little green Oliver tracked rig is pretty cool.
Easy decision yep be a pirate for a week, no brainer. Awesome video Doug on block and tackle and Rigging. always learning something on your channel good stuff...Doug. good stuff. I knew absolutely nothing about Junk rigs till I started watching your channel. Learn a lot thus far just listening to your rasional and troubleshooting and solving solutions to develop a more efficient system. keep up the good work guys.
Glad you enjoy going along for the ride. I’m enjoying the learning curve too.
Smarter every day has a really cool video on block and tackle rigs
Looking pretty comfortable at the top of the main mast!
Howdy Doug. He was.
I was a young teen the first time I saw block and tackle among the stuff of my father, I can't remember why he was using them. But I was past the age of tree house.
Then I tried it with a couple of Mecano cranes that I built.
Here, Thailand, they use a very basic version of tackle when they use a rope to tie down a load on the bed of a truck: they tie a loop on the rope, then run the rope through the D ring on the truck bed, back trough the loop and down the the fastening point. It introduces a lot of friction, but still allow some mechanical advantage.
Oh and the sun rise is worth waking up early.
Your heavy breaching reminds me how much I miss sailing.
Something you may want to try for solo climbs to the top of the mast is a counterweight attached to one of the lines going over the top of the mast.
Well I've heard you folks talk a lot about the beauty and simplicity of the junk rig, but I have to be honest, what I'm seeing seems to totally contradict that! :-). Yes, I do know that this comment is not overly positive, but there comes a point..... :-)
It’s all just sticks string and cloth and none of it makes any sense till we get it in the pond and start sailing it.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Hello there!
As usual, great video which shows craftsmanship, creativity, joy and happy people ! Thanks for the video. I'm working in my house at the moment, i've meant to send you pics but I've been so busy lately ^^ Perhaps it's a good thing isn't it ?
gotta get acorn nuts for the top of the solar panels to go along with those nice sweeps
Don't think it will help much with that. But they sure look dam cool. : )
A pulley in the neighbor's tree fort is how I broke my arm as a kid...I did learn something I guess 😅.
What kind of life have you lived if you have not healed from a few injuries?
Hey Doug, see you've been using that black fingernail paint again. Greetings from down under Townsville.
Really enjoyed the video, Much like yourself I can build or repair anything so relating to your passion is easy. Have fun and keep your fingers.
I was expecting the "solution" video. I'm dying to know what you did to fix the slapping conduit..
I sure do miss the deep blue sky from my childhood. The white streaks are very ominous.
So I guess the stainless in the spool gun wasn't half bad... That's a hell of a benefit for you since you've already got some crazy long leads on that. The electric die grinder and fuckin around and finding out was both extremely relatable but also extremely nerve wracking. I was sure something was gonna fall in the drink.
grind off a bit of the rubber on your mig pliers and weld on a ring so you have a solid place to tie to on those!
Not sure how you're gonna get a good tie off on a die grinder but I'm sure you'll find a way. Maybe just some high strength kevlar thread or something through a hole in the battery well or something.
I think Delrin or brass bushings are going to be far better than ball bearings in any application on your boat where you can stand the lower speed and little bit of extra friction. Otherwise I think fully seal bearing with the rubber seals would be best. I hope you sail a lot and get really strong. Have you seen what professional grinders look like? Those guys are huge!
Yeah, I agree. Plastics.
18:30 Maybe its the Tito's talking but how do solar panels react to weld arc?! Is it like a super charger? No effect? Should start a company selling those flexible solar cells as welding curtains 🤔 😂
Captain, I have two questions for you. One is , have you considered using two pulling points equidistant from the mast so they pull together evenly and take half the load on each side. the other is have you considered using double or triple blocks to east the load as you pull the sails up the mast? I look forward to your sailing adventures when you get everything the way you like it on your ship thanks
When was the last time you pumped out the holding barrels? Or are you just dumping overboard?
I have been inundated with request for my shit and I've been boxing it up and shipping it out as fast as possible. I have a waiting list, but I'll put you at the top Bill.
@@SVSeeker It's a serious question about an important part of living aboard a vessel. Regardless of how sensitive the topic is.
@@bmill775 Are you living a sad, lonely, and pathetic life that has driven you to become the social poo police? This is a serious question. You may need to seek are real life at once in order to save yourself.
@@SVSeeker it’s a good question, those estuaries are fragile ecosystems. If your gonna make these videos and show the world you’ve gotta be ready for scrutiny and criticism.
@@Propaneo-insaneo Seriously? You think that because I make videos you have some right to pry into my shit. Literally? Don't you think that's more than a little fucked up? Because I do.
I once was told that bearings are for low load and high speed, and bushings are for high load and low speed. Seems to be the same mindset as the makers of those shieves(?).
Bearings do both but bushings are cheaper
i would sub out the stainless sleeve for brass sleeves
We are hating these sails more and more everytime.
Modern fabrics and carbon fiber rods might make them somewhat manageable.
How do you prevent rust on the steel parts you install? Do you coat them with something or plan on sealing them later? If it’s aluminum, is it resistant to salt water? Thanks! Love your stuff. Can’t wait to see that thing in the Bahamas or Cabo
No steel parts in this episode, stainless and aluminum.
Paint the steel, or grease it and nothing for the aluminum.
I use Lanolin from the manufacturing company in New Zealand called Prolan, bare metal (preferably lightly corroded) treated with rust neutralizer and then 3 coats of their Extreme product have given excellent results in the anchor locker and the lazarette. I heat lanolin grease to brush it on as a fluid after it cools it is an impermeable waterproof semi-solid, the grease is an excellent anti galling lubricant for stainless steel threads and I use it to lubricate and corrosion protect the rudder stock and gland and on battery terminals. Totally natural and non hazardous and it is good for your skin. I believe there is a USN MIL spec for lanolin and I bought some of a different brand in spray cans from O'Reillys for truck under body protection.
Why not use am electric chain as a sail hoist? Like a garage door opener mounted on the pole that raises the sail up and down?
No where near enough power , garage doors have balancing spring to assist the door.
I wonder how many foot pounds of torque it takes to turn that to raise the main sail?
Hey Doug, America's Magic guys AC40 couldn't help you with rigging? Fancy speed guys...😂
I have seen a photo with your vessel in front in their video.
Thanks for your video, just wondering if enough wind ,you need to drop sail will it always come down as pressure against mast maybe have to pull down sail.
You turn into the wind to drop sails.
Ha, in what episode do you tear a strip of hide off the back of your left hand?
Need some skateboard wheels where the golf balls are at
Did I miss the video telling about the fix for the slapping wires inside the mast?
No. I think that one is up next.
@@SVSeeker Thanks
That batton coming down, I thought it was going to smash the solar panels! Close shave?
Wounder who's 4-8-4 Loco that was
Ouch what'd you do too that hand
Angry Pelican
Looks like you hit your hand with a grinding wheel. Ouch, Done that several times over the years.
Attacked by a pelican
@@SVSeeker Holy cow that had to be one ticked off pelican.
Hi seeker crew, Do you plan on going to the arctic?
did I see a grinder wound on your hand?
It was a Pelican mother.
Why don't you get your Milwaukee power drive for those wrenches
What’s the difference between a car and a giraffe? A car has high draulics.
Don't you need a yard arm longer than 3 feet?
Saw your hand. Grinder accident??
👋👋
Please make sure that any heavy things you hoist to the top of the mast have some kind of backup security so they won't come crashing down on someone when the main line turns out to have broken due to chafing.
Yes Mother
You've never been on a sailboat before, have you?
@@riverdolfi2846 How so? I just see some extra risk on this DIY boat with heavy steel battens. I hope safety comes first.
If safety was first, nobody should be in a boat.
True. Safety second then. I love your project and I love sailing. I just find those steel battens scary, thats all.
i tried lifting my self with dads old wooden block n tackle
Pirate all day long!

Christ, Doug, what happened to your hand?
Angry Pelican
the problem with the bearing is dis cimuliar metals, steel bering aluy pully = rust
Actually that dissimilar metals can cause galvanic corrosion. I think that is just good old oxidation. And the saltwater will speed up both.
What happened to your hand
Angry pelican.
nasty burn on your left hand Doug. Take care of rhat
Yes dear.
And the Chinese had that shit down pat one K years ago. Alright then.
17:48
What happened to the back of your hand?
Shark Attack
Just scares me cause I'm stupid.
First
getting too fussy.... go sailing... enjoy life... boat work is never done
Not quite fussy enough. Snagged a line on the crutch on the last sail and broke it. It's all about taking enough time.
