Really good to see all these steps of progress. You can be very proud! Although I'm a polyester freak/specialist, your little ship is a product of respectable craftmanship. Always good to reinforce whereever you think it's neccesary. Hello from The Netherlands, Marco
More good progress. For the hatch, I'd be tempted to go for an off the shelf hatch (with a hinged lid) as that's a big hole if the G10 turn-blocks holding the loose-fitting hatch lid became loose/released the hatch (and it'll happen when you can least afford it to happen). Just my 2 cents.
Off the shelf hatches don't work because they'd be either too large or too small for this spot, it had to be custom. The latch won't be loose fitting at all once the gasket is installed, everything will be tight. But that has to wait for after paint goes on.
The plans change too often to put anything out there yet, for now I just give the general answer that I will do an ocean crossing. First things first I get her in the water 👍.
Holy crap dude! That's a lot of glass! Just wondering if you're tapping your fairlead base or are you using a captured nut? Are your screws/bolts going completely through? I'm trying to make my mind up about how to mount my new deck hardware and stanchions. I am trying to limit all holes through my cabin top and decks. This means moving my chain plates outboard to the hull sides. I am changing my entire mast and sail plan to do this. So G-10 bases are a given, but I think I'm going to actually have 2 bases per mount. One is suspended in the core material and the other one surface mounted with champhered edges directly under each piece of hardware, then drilled and tapped for each screw or bolt. I'm also eliminating my old rub rail with 1.3 million bolts and rivets and bonding and tabbing that joint. I sincerely despise bolt holes, hardware and unnecessary-yachty, blingish stainless steel.
Really good idea to get rid of the rub rail and it's million screws into the boat. For anything that will have some forces pulling on it I use bolts straight through the deck/hull to a backing plate or at least large washers. i wouldn't trust tapping. You can make it waterproof with butyl tape.
@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat Yes on the butyl tape. I made new windows from polycarbonate for my last boat and used it with no screw holes by epoxy gluing the frames I made directly to the cabin sides...gotta love modern bonding materials. I'm really looking forward to the day that I get to build my own new boat. Hopefully after I finish updating this one. Thanks for blazing a trail! I can't wait to see you pulling that one out of the shop so we can see a walk-around.
Yes I see people putting so many bolts in deadlights for their boats or hard dodgers and I think it's unnecessary. A formula 1 car's windows don't fall off in extreme conditions and they aren't bolted on, just adhesives 😉.
You know Harbor Freight sells small bench top drill presses for under $100 -- I bought one for my shop for the same reason (limited space) ... it has worked out pretty well. My wrists really appreciated not having the hand drill catch and try to break them, and it is much nicer to know that the hole is perfectly perpendicular to the work piece. Keep up the great work ... loving the regular updates. Sven mention you in some recent updates ... I think that he is a fan!
Love the clip you've added to the end.
Day 7 of commenting on OCSS short videos.
Good to see you back Capt. Perry!
This is an algorithm booster! ⛵
9K 👍👍👍
nice to see small updates.
Very nice work.
I love this project so much. I cannot wait to see it sailing.
Nice work!

Hello from The Netherlands, Marco
Thank you, very kind. The Netherlands is a beautiful place.
Good Update! Fun to see even small steps as long as they are in the right direction.
sailboats looking great
👍👍
Enjoying the progress, as are you I hope
thanks
👍😎👍

Hello there
Looking like your gonna hit 10k subs before you finish!
On track to reach 10K in May! The boat I hope is finished some time this year. I have to keep up the pace.
@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat gonna need to start thinking about the next project!
Not for many many years I hope. After such effort spent building her, want a decade of adventures in this. 😁🏝
@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat sounds cool. Don’t know if you’ve ever said specifics about where you plan on sailing.
The plans change too often to put anything out there yet, for now I just give the general answer that I will do an ocean crossing. First things first I get her in the water 👍.
friendly comment 🙂
That's what I like 👍

Was going to mention the Sven shout out to Capt. Perry as well!
Thanks! I'm always happy to have Yrvind's support.
👍👍👍
nice to see small updates.
