It's called a prop shaft "stern tube" and not a tunnel, the tunnel you will find on large ships where it will lead you to the inner shaft gland and stern tube and prop shaft
I must say, its wonderful, half a year ago i definetely didnt believe that you all make it. Excellent. Now i see forward to that day you were crossing the caribbean even the atlantic ocean. A huge woow. When i see back to my life i did never such a big thing, such a pretty boat. When i was younger i built huge cnc lathes with modern computing machines, so i was astonished how the guy turns the old prop shaft to a perfectly balanced peace of metal nearly by hand. Absolutely congratulation to this guy. Really a specialist. Greets to you all from germany ;-)
Thanks from Nova Scotia Canada, For sharing your adventure rebuilding Yaba. So impressed with the skill people working with you and how much you are learning
As someone who used to build custom/classic cars the machine work is always cool to see. I also spent 10 years as a professional cabinet builder so this channel has been awesome!
Gosh guys has it been over two years? I joined you when you left to bring this boat to where it is now, hope I am here when you put it back in the water. I am 71 and cannot wait
What an incredible difference the interior of your boat is now than when you sailed over the sea to the shipyard. It was a cavernous dark leaking grimy terrifying space where you coaxed the engine to take you to safety.
How long has it been since you’ve seen Roberta and Duca? Maybe the boat show in the U.S.? Do you have plans to meet up when you set sail. The 4 of you are great together! ❤
Tradesmen are a joy to watch them work. We had a bent 2-inch shaft and the company had a 1,000-ton hydraulic press so the operator put it into a jig and gave it a few light taps and it was as straight as when it was made.
Well , that purple wood truly is amazing . In 70 years I've never seen anything like it . Balencing the propshaft obligatoire . Huge progress since the last time I saw you guys . Won't be long now until splash day
Love MP's technical jargon 😁 The process of welding up metal is welding up metal UNLESS you use brass, then it's called braising. But you can say braising with other metals to indicate you are welding up a part only to cut it again. I know, English.
This is the second time I’m watching todays video, you guys are so blessed with a group of fantastic craftsmen. I have started watching the entire series over again. I’ve already used some of the tricks I’ve learned. Absolutely love your videos and especially the both of you and of course your pup. So much fun to watch. Love you guys
Wow I’m loving how beautiful the boat is turning out to be. I can’t wait for a tour when complete. I’ve been watching since the beginning!! I had no idea I would get so invested in someone else’s boat life. Lol
Good morning favorite UA-cam folks (and Caillou)! While the prop shaft segment was rolling, Tyson heard Caillou bark in dog Portuguese and responded in dog English. We hope all is well with you guys. We like the grab rails in Purple Heart. Good choice. You make good choices all the time. We’re proud of you and your 2 and a 1/2 years of hard work! Closer and closer!
It's all very precise work with such details that all the craftsmen did together. It's awesome and delightful to watch it come together. I cannot wait to see it all finished up and splashed again. Stay safe always 💞, from the Philippines.
Great to see the progress 😊 you guys rock together and one wants to follow in your step for a new adventure. MP is super cute, the way she handles the mech tech stuff. God bless you guys 🔱😊👍🙏🇮🇳
The more i see of the talented Brazilian tradesmen , the more i'm impressed . The mechanical side of Yaba is going to be rock solid , straightening the shaft the machinist working wonders on those heavy pieces of steel . Yaba is becoming a legend the boat that went from a rotten hulk to a fine sailing vessel . A epic story indeed .
Dear Claude H. 👍👌👏 Very well said, very well indeed. I wanted to comment similar but fortunately you already did all the writing work. 😁 ;-) Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 Thanks , i've watched from the beginning and i was originally very skeptical that the boat could be restored . The word Amazing is often over used these days , but Yaba & crew are truly amazing . Take care my friend . Claude
@@claudehopper9813 You're welcome, it's my pleasure. 2) Since 2017 I watch several other channels with sailing boat restoration content. For instance Sampson boat Co (Tally Ho), Acorn to Arabella, Sailing Melody, Sailing Magic Carpet etc.. Therefore I unfortunately could see what all was done wrong respectively could've done significantly better on Yaba. For instance: The planks are nailed on, I've seen no using of bedding compound (for instance Dolfinite) etc.. The craftsmen are pretty amazing but I nevertheless guess, that they don't build boats that last really long. Maybe because their wooden fishing vessels are completely worn down/out after 20 to 30 years anyway? But this is just a guess. On the other hand: The repairing of the hull might be done just good enough. In Europe or North America nothing like this restoration would've been payable. Especially not for a young couple. They work really hard for their dream and I wish them all the best. Sincerely yours
I absolutely love the contrast of the purple heart and other woods types. It’s a beautiful contrast. Worth all the time it’s taking to see Yaba coming together 👌🏻I’m really looking forward to seeing more and the final finished boat 👍🏻👍🏻
sempre desconfiel que um de vocês era Br. no video passado eu confirmei com vc dizendo "que Show" na pintura da turbina. como eu assisto sempre pela tv quase nao comento. mas sou um fã da serie. qdo estiver pronto passem por Arraial do Cabo - RJ
Hi guys! Me again! Your "telescope" is the "Cutlass Bearing". It's held secure in its housing (the casting, usually bronze), which gets bolted through your stern post. The piece of metal which locks the prop shaft to the flange is called a "Woodruff Key". A very common method of transferring rotation. 😀 Having some glorious sunshine here in Scotland!
@Jack Patteeuw Hi Jack. I clearly could've done a better job, but your opening sentence is exactly what I said in mine. In the video, MP describes the finished shaft as fitting "perfectly to this piece", which at that juncture is the cutlass bearing. I know she's talking about the unit as a whole, but the cutlass bearing is the only part in contact with the shaft and I thought it was what she was trying to describe.
I found that since the 'Packing gland' only touches the shaft with the packing, and, while it uses sea water for 'lube', the sea water doesn't need to move any further into the boat than the packing itself. So I spun a meter or so of 'Teflon' tape into a cord and wound it around the shaft atop the packing. This stopped the 'weeping' of sea water into the bilge without preventing water from keeping the packing cool. There was still the occasional drip, but it was way less than just the flax. Our twin 350 Mercury inboards ran for much longer than your engine ever will and hardly dripped at all...
man ya honking along now. Yeah get miniture Lathe pop it in engine room. Great to see you highlight these craftsmen in the Shipyard and the contractors keep at.
Taper. He is tapering off the shaft. Purple Heart. I love that Purple Heart. I thought about using that purple heart in one of my guitar building projects. I wanted to use it on the fingerboard. The fingerboard can be Rosewood, Maple or Ebony. I thought about as purple heart which would look beautiful. And those Machinists work with Zero tolerances (0). They are very precise. I'm always fascinated by their work. I love your work station. Good job guys. Great content. God Bless.
Your (tunnel) is called the prop shaft TUBE normally. It is called the prop tunnel on ships where you can actually get in to inspect the shaft, bearings and inner seal. It must be hard to produce a movie in English when it's not your native language. Especially when the subject has such wierd names etc like boating does! You are doing great work, keep it up. FyI different lathes use different numbers etc to designate the different thread pitches it can cut. Every manufacturer seems to come up with different gearing methods for the lead screw (this moves the carriage along) thus cutting the threads right. Machining is a fascinating subject. I have been playing with lathes for 45 years and am still learning. Computer controlled machines scare me though!
Great video, as always. It's so nice to see finished cabinets and walls inside the schooner. How exciting this must be for you. It is for me!!! ( just love the purple heart wood)
The words you ate looking for for the "tunnel" is stern tube , the tunnel is an enclosed space on a larger vessel which the propshaft runs through from the stern tube to the engine room amidships
@@SailingYaba Every Sunday, I love watching your vlog. We are a French-Dutch couple living in Miami Beach. We lived 8 years in Rio de Janeiro, loved it, and kniw Brasil well.
Hi kids, Love the lathe machinist master and his story of resilience and sticktoittiveness. There must be a German word like this.

Quick tip. If you're struggling to screw a fastening in, use a spanner on the hexagonal part at the top of the blade. Unless it's a cheap screwdriver, in which case it probably won't have one.
I was really depressed when I saw the boat in the first episode because I knew what you would encounter and consider how little experience you had at that time with boats and specially big wooden boat made it even worse. You and the yard exceeded my expectations by far and I am very impress with what you and the yard have accomplished and how much you have learned during this process. I am looking forward to your sailing adventures with this boat.
que buena historia la del tornero, cuando quebro la empresa donde trabajaba pidio la maquina y se puso a trabajar en lo que sabia con la misma pasion y no fue a trabajar de uber o se puso una pizzeria, aun queda gente apasionada por su trabajo y gracias a ello podemos hacer esas piezas maravillosas
Hi guys! Were you familiar with lathe work and shaft unbending? We are still so impressed with how everything got done!
The tunnel of your prop shaft is called a 'Shaft Alley'.
👍👌👏 Great. But please no distracting, unnecessary and not fitting music (10.38 min) next time. Thanks in advance.
Shaft, shaft alley!🤔 Let's keep it clean ! 😉
It's called a prop shaft "stern tube" and not a tunnel, the tunnel you will find on large ships where it will lead you to the inner shaft gland and stern tube and prop shaft
what a great craftsman the lathe man is
Wow what a fantastic story about the lathe operator.
Wow…the propeller guy is a master! It’s been 2.5 years watching, well time flys when you are having fun ;-)
Wow this was such an impressive video, so many changes.
Forgot to mention is my last post the shaft unbending. So impressive, that guy is really skilled. Keep well and safe. James.
Your machinist was impressive. Great job on the shaft.
That engine is really looking good!
Thank you Michael! 😍
Major progress!! As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Thank you so much for watching Douglas! 💕
ENJOYED, the learning curve was very interesting . Inside looking awesome 😅😊

Super interessant cette façon de calibrer l’arbre d’hélice. J’ai vraiment appris quelque chose de neuf. Bravo et courage à vous deux. 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much Duane! 😍
Incredible to see the metal skills in this video, wow removing the bend, amazing. And of course the woodwork skills, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed! We found it all so impressive! Thank you!
great to see an old school lathe and he REALLY knows how to use it!
Agreed! 🤩
Wow that man man is certainly a master at what he does.
Indeed! 🤩
The lathe and it's master were extremely interesting!! So cool that he managed to get the lathe when the company expired!!!
Right? 😍
Very cool, great progress. Keep being awesome team.
Thank you! 😍

Saludos muy buen episodio
Muchas gracias Cesar!
If that Metal turning equipment was a violin the operator would be a virtuoso. Yaba will be incredible.
Thank you John!
I've been with you from the beginning, I can't believe it has been two and a half years. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Michael! 🤩

Gosh guys has it been over two years? I joined you when you left to bring this boat to where it is now, hope I am here when you put it back in the water. I am 71 and cannot wait
Thanks Rodney! We are working hard for it!
The interior is stunning guys. Not dark brown, shiny mahogany, but lovely textured and light coloured wood. And, lots of light coming in.
Thank you! We’re glad you think so 🥰
Great job 👏
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for watching! 😍
In the business the cone shape is called taper (tay-per) We use them on fits that we want secure beyond just a keyed fit.
Thanks for teaching us!
Yaba❤
Jonas! ❤️
great update and please have a wonderful week ahead. see you guys on next weeks video
Thank you so much!! See you next Sunday!
What an incredible difference the interior of your boat is now than when you sailed over the sea to the shipyard. It was a cavernous dark leaking grimy terrifying space where you coaxed the engine to take you to safety.
Fantastic to see some more mechanical bit reinstalled on Yaba. Great update 2x👍
Thank you! 🤩
wow so awesome!
PALHAO, IS AN ARTIST WHEN IT COMES TO THIS TYPE OF WORK. HE IS ONE WITH HIS MACHINE
How long has it been since you’ve seen Roberta and Duca? Maybe the boat show in the U.S.? Do you have plans to meet up when you set sail. The 4 of you are great together! ❤
Hi Judy! It has actually been too long already! ☹ We can't wait to be together and we definitely plan on being boat buddies when the time comes! ❤
So interesting to see how MP helped to straighten Ben’s shaft before he splashed.
Tradesmen are a joy to watch them work. We had a bent 2-inch shaft and the company had a 1,000-ton hydraulic press so the operator put it into a jig and gave it a few light taps and it was as straight as when it was made.
He truly is the lathe master !!!

It won't be long before YABA is in the water. Excellent. Be safe stay healthy enjoy your week thanks for sharing this journey.
Thank you so much Kenneth! You too! 😍
Very nice. Thank you
Amazing that the machinist has been running that lathe for 38 years. It is a honor to see a master craftsman at work.
Right? 😍
I’m very glad that wasn’t my lathe, but I understand needs must.
Um forte abraco a Voces.😊
Your both super cool a great job 😊❤

Quick tip. If you're struggling to screw a fastening in, use a spanner on the hexagonal part at the top of the blade. Unless it's a cheap screwdriver, in which case it probably won't have one.
