We took down the collapsable mast on our 70 year old, 21ft, gaff cutter - in preparation for moving into a shed to begin restoration work. The mast was heavier than expected.

Thanks! That's the plan :)
Beautiful! My fave vid yet! And not coz its short lol

Brings a tear to my eye!
'we need to do this quickly' - Quote of the Month. And that shed!
Time in the yard , on the hard stand. Yeah , its tough. You are doing your bit for history preservation. She is a nice old Yacht.
There are few things in life more rewarding than saving something which was originally built with care and has fallen on hard times. Sure, there are loads of boats out there but you just need to identify the one that floats your boat.(ouch!). I hope you have the stamina for this one, it's going to be a long haul. The dividend is that you will know it inside out and it will be all yours. Watching with interest from the other side of the planet.....
Haha this boat does float our boat :D and yes knowing it inside and out once it's back on the water is a real motivation
:O found my new comfort channel
Morning team :) How cool, Oslo is going inside and then the fun can really start. Best wishes from the North, def catch up when down your way in April :)
Sounds good! Hopefully we'll be settled into the new shed by then!
@@oslosaga Awesome :)
Very much enjoying your episodes… congratulations on the shed and 10k views! 🙏
Thank you!
Yay! A shed will make it all possible in your sub-Antarctic climate! I might live long enough to see Oslo back in the water. (Not a joke at 77!)
We'll do our best not to take too long haha!! Once we get the move sorted we're really going to crack on with things :)
I did it. It was a mistake but I enjoyed the work. Sometimes a persons gotta do what a persons gotta do. Good Luck!
Thanks! Yeah we know we're going to enjoy the work whatever happens so in that sense it feel like worth doing :)
Good Luck with your project. Keep well and stay safe.
Thank you! :)
Just do it , everithing will be fine, greet from Holland i like the ship
Thanks! That's what we keep telling ourselve too :)
Great job! Hope the move goes well!
Thanks! There'll be a moving in video when we figure out how to make it happen
Hi. Great to see progress being made. Just re how you are supporting Oslo Saga as you remove the mast, that's putting a lot of trust in the rubbing strake and the planking your props are bolted to. Have you thought about adding some supports from the bilge to the ground or the cradle as well? I appreciate that so long as the boat is sitting upright on its keel there isn't a lot of weight going sideways, but I'm thinking that if something failed and boat lost its balance there isn't a lot of redundancy in the current propping set up.
PS - great news on having a shed. It will be a mare getting the boat in there, but the ability to work out of the pleasures of Dunner's climate will be a real boon.
Hmm yeah, very good point there isn't much redundancy right now. Hopefully it's not going to be for too long but it it's going to be like that for a while longer I think we will pop in some more supports from the bilge
Lets gooooooooooooooo
