Love David’s wittiness and comical banter with the crew. If you haven’t watched his UA-cam channel yet, I highly recommend going over to it and checking it out.
@@roberta4989 I for one welcome our new David Shih overlord. Can’t hate a man for wanting free sails, I want free sails and I don’t own a boat. His videos are actually pretty entertaining though if you do want to take some time to watch them.
Drill the end of the tread and put a split pin through, so even if nut come loose they cant fall off, nyloc nut as well, you also need a catch pin or bar , so that if chain comes off sprocket again it cant drop all the way down.
One thing about it when you and Jamie had to take your boat apart to fix it you learned every nook and cranny and system and where to look to fix things! Good job!
Good job in keeping a level head. Colin, you're a good officer and it's clear you take your responsibility for the safety of your boat and your crew very seriously. Your leadership also manifests in conscientiousness to other mariners - in the great and time-honoured tradition. Tough sail, but it was great to see a tired smile after safe arrival. I look forward to following your adventure. And whenever you come past South Africa, try to time it with The Rugby Championship - I'll sponsor tickets to 1 x Springboks vs All Blacks and 1 x Springboks vs. Wallabies match for you and the crew as long as I get to join in... 😁👍🏉 And if you guys don't care for Rugby I'l settle for drinks!
I’ve used jam nuts for over 40 years and never had them fail to hold if properly jammed together. There are multiple kinds of locktite…. Don’t use red unless you are willing to heat it with a torch to loosen it. At least one variety…. green I think can be applied after tightening. My favorite is plain old blue locktite… The most common. Not only does it hold well, but I use it as an anti seize. It keeps moisture out, and by doing so prevents rust and corrosion. I prefer all metal lock nuts to nylocks….feel they hold better IMHO, though they may not be as easily found. Rudder failure is a very common problem, and spade rudders while efficient and well balanced can be virtually impossible to repair at sea if there is a strike. If you cannot jettison a bent rudder and stock it can make it virtually impossible to control the boat. The Gunboat Rainmaker is the classic case, but there have been many others.
Parlay, Colin, every time I watch your next adventure, I learn something. I am taking my family our first ever yacht charter this summer, around the Greek islands. Just done my day skipper and I have the squeaky bum, but totally excited for it. This is as a result of your opening statement to each of your vlogs; you’ll regret it if you don’t try, Cheers. 🤟
Crossover question… when will you have Cptn Glenn come sail with you, he can be a deckie, he’s so straight backed but chill it would be great to see him IRL outside below deck.
Colin, When I read your title I did not realize that there was that many backups. I am so glad that you did. I want you to know it would not be Sunday for me without your video. If I was younger I would love to travel with you all. But I suspect there is no room for a great grandfather. So I wish you all smooth sailing. Have fun and be safe. ⛵🤗
Try keeping a bottle of removeable Loc-Tite in the tool box. Helps keep nuts and screws in place until you want them out. You and the crew have been through this enough that your trouble shooting is quick to find the problem.
Colin even when others would panic….you stay positive and work through the problem. I hope your crew and friends appreciate how knowledgeable you are. I would trust you with my life any day. Stay safe and enjoy all that you have worked so hard for.
Great video Colin! Incredible crew! Awesome how everyone pulls together to fix the problem. Like you said "a blessing in disguise" before setting sail again. So glad Dave got to join you this passage! You're a huge inspiration!!
Another bonus to dyneema line is you can repair it with a bury splice. I snapped the dyneema line on my winch when I was off-roading. I thought the only solution was to replace the whole winch line. I was pretty pumped when I discovered how to do a bury splice. I was able to repair the line and lost very little length. You can barely tell where it was repaired as well. Check it out. It might not be a bad tool to keep in your back pocket.
Great work and attitude addressing the problem. Great crew as everyone works together. Fix idea: Seems the best way to keep those nuts from coming completely undone is to drill and pin the shaft. Simple cotter key will keep them from backing completely off the shaft and creating all the other issues associated with losing tension.
That is exactly what I was going to suggest - however with the addition of some loctite liquid threadlocker - I would use the blue and then jam nut it like you had - the threadlocker should keep the nuts from vibrating loose and the pin will prevent it from completely falling off if it ever does loosen.
Coolest guy on the ocean, superbly handled, all the way right from the very beginning when you went quiet, I could see you working the problem, awesome
Colin is always looking on the bright side of life... Keep up the great work champ some people are living there dream watching your vids keep them coming... And taking people and sharing your boat with other's is awesome.....
I think I would probably be very calm knowing there’s a mechanical genius on board and he’s very “Chill”....Actually, it’s just so great to see you guys finally getting to hit the water and enjoy yourselves, not that you aren’t always having a great time...... ⛵️
Murphy's Law: Anything that can happen will happen. Good thing there is redundancy. Thanks for sharing, Parley always brings a smile to my face, you've got a great crew.
I’m thinking that once you turned on the auto pilot you lost tension on the nuts and they vibrated off allowing the chain to fall.lock nuts or some locktite (red) Panama Canal!! WoopWoop!!!cograts Fair winds ⛵️
Great attitude when the SHTF stay calm, engage brain and solve the problem. Great teamwork. It’s so important that you know your vessel inside and out.
Loved this video, loved the trouble shoot of the steering issue. Loved Dave's addition to the video, his commentary is fresh and exciting, very special.
Thanks for the info, I was wondering what the timeframe was...I see Colin has replied to another post that they are in Costa Rica now, so we get to see the adventures of the cruising around that coastline, which should be fantastic...
*Phew, so glad that you got your main steering sorted... you da man Colin who knows his stuff... I hope David is learning all this, for when he goes back onto his boat and continues his sailing with all his learned new found knowledge*
Mateys, I have been watching you"all for the past couple of years I live vicariously through you guys I'm 72 years old and enjoy every minute of your adventures. I am a Vietnam Veteran and was a member of the SAS. Being Kiwi you probably know what that means? My trade in the Regiment was water operations. Which involved water demolition, diving, and small craft operations. So I know where you guys are coming from. If you put a washer or spring washer between your nuts, you may find they keep tight.
Hi guys thanks for the wonderful video again I really love all your adventures even when things fail and you always have a solution for them , the good thing is Coleen has dealt with a lot of stuff like this before and the biggest boat Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Love the attitude when faced with the steering issue; be thankful it wasn’t a dangerous situation, know you have back ups, stay calm and fix the problem. 🤙🏻
My saying "out bad comes good". You learned how to as a group to get thru a tough situation. As well as taught not just the crew but your followers a possible fix. Some one will feel the good coming out of bad.
I am sure that you must have a calm demeanor when comes to sailing. I would have personally freaked out if my steering had gone out! Ole "cool as a cucumber" Colin just smiling like a Chesshire cat!
If one side of the steering assembly comes undone there's still tension on the other side via the wheel sprocket. Vibration and movement is tough on normal hardware. as others have said Nylocks can damage the thread and plastic/rubber ones will corrode in your environment. On the railway we use locking washers called Nord Locks? maybe worth a try. glad it wasn't the Dyneema as that's only just been installed! Happy sailing
No Dave, that is a problem but not the worst possible thing. Collin,s approach is perfect starting with positive thinking, analysis and in the end repair. Great job! I believe in redundancy as well. We got 2 auto pilots and an emergency tiller similar to yours on our boat.
So nice to see a sailor that keeps a level head and works through the issue at hand. Now tp limit Daves screen time and you will have your channel back on track
hope you put a nylon locknut to prevent this issue from happening again. Or drill a small hole through that bolt and put a safety pin to make sure it doesn't come undone. But yeah, definitely the right mindset, knowing that this could've happened in an anchorage next to a reef, or worse in a marina full of boats, definitely gives me chills.
Well everybody's comments covered with part I wanted to put but I'm glad everybody is okay on that passage. All of you stay safe and healthy out there and as good to see you having fun David where is your boat David?
Maybe putting self locknut as a safety to avoid this from happening. Good that there are 3 layers of rudder. Good job on keeping calm and looking for a solution. Like you said Colin it’s best when it happens in the least damaging situation.
Colin, I'm still incredibly impressed with how well you handle pressure and find the positive. Because you know your boat so well, you were able to fix the problem quickly. Annnnnnnnnd,, if I recall, that cabinet was a huge problem to remove the first time, so you would have had a lot more trouble fixing the steering if you had not previously torn the boat apart. Also, I am glad to see that you got the tiller arm ready just in case, so you wouldn't have to scramble. You are an awesome captain! Awesome episode! Dogs, beach bbq, catching fish, risky business with the bike, catastrophe at sea, boat projects, sailing!, talk of cannibalism, and teamwork! You got all the best stuff! ❤
itd be a lot fucking better if there was no david, and we were watching @colin, and @jamie do the work and make the jokes. that's what im paying for, and I'm getting fucked.
@@bmunday I don't know why you have chosen to denigrate a good guy who keeps a positive attitude and is quite funny. So what if he often seems to fly by the seat of his pants?
@@divekatdreaming because offshore isnt about good guys. its about effective or dangerous crew. most of the time its normalized, and then... its not and the weakness is clear- but that clarity doesn't come until the problem or damage has happened. I seriously doubt @Tom is looking at David as a tolerable problem. I'm sure he's planning his 'out' until the david problem resolves itself, while he isnt onboard. Here's the why, @divekat, cause 100tonne experience. which @colin is trying to promote, and so is @jamie. shenanigans like that fool are a distraction from business. Flying by the seat of your pants is fine- i have a 5 day rule. after that I need a down day, and need you to be on the hard. @colin is pushing his crew through extreme's with that douche. There is no payoff, except his camerawork that comes with an out of band noob voice. he freeks out, cause he cant tie a line nor handle radio. he should focus on sailing on-shore with his family, while pursuing licensure, and captaincy, I have no doubt his antics will provide him a community that IS NOT IN DANGER, once he gets some fucking accomplishment.
Boat Gremlins.. You can almost hear them giggling in the distance when the wierd shit breaks or stops working 😂 they are good friends with Murphy.. glad it was fixable and no harm situation. You're right, it could have been worse and you solved it without panic.

When a nylon lock nut is placed on a bolt, the nylon fibers expand to grip the bolt.
I was a bit surprised, that there were no self-locking nuts on this threaded rod or at least. 2 nuts on each side, to lock them. But all went fine and you stay calm every time!
Howzit Colin 🤙 awesome video as always ! Just a thought, can you drill a small hole through each of those tensioner thread rods so that you can then put a cotter/split pin through them that will keep the nuts in place even if they come loose? Same principle as a castle nut on a ball joint basically. Anyway looking forward to the next video, hope you guys are all well. Cheers🍺
Good calm response to a sh*tty moment. Happily it happened on the open sea with conditions that could be much worse. @15:37 and 16:00 Maybe a little locktite wil help? I think the second (which ever) could become undone because the bolt(s) could vibrate freely when loose. (There could be hours in between the two)
David is a fun add to the team. I know he can't stay, but fun while he is there. Great episode Colin.

Bravo Zulu. Knowing every detail of every system of your home saved the crew from being stranded a few days at sea
A mark of a true leader. Being able to keep your head while those around you are losing theirs... Great job Colin. Fair winds bud.... ⛵

@@roberta4989 go away troller

Vibrations from the rudder loosen the nuts so use nylock nuts or locktight
So glad you made it. Now on to the Pacific.
Thank goodness for good friends and a good crew. What if you had lost steering at night near all those big ships!!!!! Nice job!!!

Hey Colin, BOLO potential hurricane headed your way! Take care of yourself and your crew!
You might want to inexpensively invest in some lock-nuts. There are several types of lock nuts, the most common of which include metal lock nuts and nylon-insert lock nuts. Metal lock nuts feature a crowned top that can be crimped to secure the nut in place. In comparison, nylon lock nuts feature a layer of nylon material covering the interior threading. When a nylon lock nut is placed on a bolt, the nylon fibers expand to grip the bolt.
Give old Dave a wrap, I reckon he's doin' alright!
This good stuff. Great to see you sailing.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
