As a father to 2 daughters, I understand your dad's devotion to helping you. what a blessing for you. My skills are wood flooring and all kids have been helped. I love the fine woodworking and Aladino's attention to detail.
I've been following since the 1$ boat.
I really love seeing your dad helping with the project and how knowledgeable and kind he is. My dad always helped me with my projects and was a really experienced mechanical engineer and yachtsman. Sadly he died in 2017 although I still hear his advice when I'm working on my own boat.
I bet that your dad and Alidino get along real well, they are both so precise with their work
It is such a pleasure to see a teamwork with decorum and good communication. The pleasant jabs and teasing is so nice watch-if only more could have this healthy banter! Just adds a bit of goodness to a world where words are so often unpleasant. Love your guys videos.
15:57 If you remove the hatch door, you gain almost 2 inches of valuable space for the engine mounting. Great channel!
Did almost exactly the same thing when replacing the engine in my sailboat, i lenghtened the engine bed, landed the engine and just slided it into it’s final position. For measuring the new engine beds i made a dummy of the engine from plywood to be able to figure out where the propellor shaft would be in relation to the new engine.
Thank you. Once again I have learned a new technique for moving and placing heavy objects into small cavities. Between Aladino and Brian they make a great engineering team. I can't wait for the next episode.
The level of attention to detail is impressive. Nice work.
I'm missing Maya playing her fiddle.
I'm a part of a small fiddle group on a Small island in Denmark, we have our own folk music and dance and we also have a "sister" island which is Cape Breton in Canada. We travel there some times, and last week we had 5 very talented musicians from Cape Breton visiting us. I talked a bit about your channel with my group and which the guys from Cape Breton and we would love to hear you play some Cape Breton tunes if you know any.
Keep up your fantastic work
Kasper Denmark 😊
This reminds me of wondering whether my new washing machine would fit through a tight basement entrance with a right-angle doorway off a narrow hallway. Exactly the same technique I used, make a cardboard template of the dimensions. It fit, tightly. Yay!
i love seeing my favorite sailing channels come together even if they haven't sailed in years. it will be an awesome day to see you come together and raft up in some amazing BC fjord.
18:04 Hi Maya, this is a simple comment, but I liked that thing you did with the audio there overlapping the voices, simple but cool effect to express all the work that was happening 😉💡
I really like how dad/father in law manages to rarely opine but rather just adds value/progress in some critical areas.....
Thanks for continuing to share so much of your life with the world/me.
I agree with the transmission forward suggestion. Once it's just below the overhead in the cabin you'll have room to rotate it 180°
I wish both Duracell and magic carpet podcasts were on every day because it's the most satisfying watching I do every week.. New Zealand 🇳🇿
you 3 do what others don`t. Make me smile all the way through. well done, regards from the UK.
Am I the only one who thinks removing the transmission might be easier?
Great episode! A fine example of adhering to the "6 P's". Prior planning prevents p*** poor performance...Ha! Great to have an engineer in the family.
looking forward to seeing the engine actually going in. The rehersal is another example of clever planning. Keep up the good work!
Good preparation, with a little more effort, is simply the key to a good solution. I have admired this attitude from you since the start of this extensive refit. The result is overwhelmingly good and beautiful. My compliments. - And by the way, everyone wants a father and father-in-law like that.
Re dropping an engine through the companionway: My father was a custom boatbuilder in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area. I sure can relate with your challenges. Even with a new build we had to manipulate the engine through similar contortions; although, we didn’t have to worry about the finished trim around the companionway as much.
Loved seeing the folks from Duracell on your channel. Hoping to see both boats in the water some time soon.
Love your and your Dad's interactions. Affection and respect, but not cloying and overdone. Adult. Quite rare, it seems to me. MCII is emerging from the cocoon. Soon she will take flight. I'll be following happily.
Harry from Toronto here. Once again you deliver a very satisfying segment, BTW, love how your decks turned out. Your colour choices exceed expectations. Very classy!
Mock-ups are always a good idea.
It was a pleasure, as always, and your boat is gorgeous. We hope it's not too long before we see you next!
The volume of the interior is very nice, it must feel quite satisfying to make this corner. Congrats, she’s going to show why she is such a satisfying craft to sail and live long distances on.
Quick way to template the engine in 3D - take the Beta drawing to Staples and have them print it full scale. Glue each view to cardboard or basement board styrofoam. Cut out then hot glue them together.
I've already agreed with a few others here, but I am really impressed with the motor mockup, which makes perfect sense to me. Good planning on the procedure for dropping the motor before actually getting surprised by the actual, very heavy motor, and then trying to figure its entry mode. Excellence from beginning to end. I love it so much!! Be safe from the Phillippines always.
The quality of ALL the woodwork on your boat (topside and down below) is outstanding. It's really great to have Dad's engineering experience to help you. You're getting closer and closer to launch day. Good to see two of the three best boat project personnel together, the other one being RAN sailing.
It will be nice to see more red color added to the engine room. Sail-on!
Sad timing that the engine mockup could not have gone home with Duracell for their cat. But as always, the diligence and professionalism in your work is very, very impressive. Bon courage.
It’s a lot of fun to watch the cardboard playing. You approaching the engine mount in a very intelligent way.
And as always, the music choice is fabulous. It lifts the tension…
Very exciting to install the diesel - that will be another huge step resolved. Keep it going, you are getting so close to the finish line!
Love the UA-cam crossover!!!! Two of my favorite channels!
Love the problem solving to get the engine on board through that hatch. Very intuitive thinking with all the actions that need to take place. Should go smoothly butt I'd bolt to the tranny and drop it straight down in one move . Then settle it below and orient it on your skid rails. I even lubed the skids once to move an 800# unit. Even better is thin metal plates on top of the skid rail and it runs almost by itself to your mounting spot. Looking forward to your next video as usual. Us arm chair engineers and mechanics are cheering your efforts on.
Love these episodes with Matt & Yani. Would love to see a dingy race between Matt and Aladino. Of course Matt would have to spot Aladino a couple feet.
Dad is an integral part of the process, amazing skills!! Watch your fingers as you get that engine thru the companionway hatch. Great job!! Cheers!!
Planning is the key to success! Maya, great editing of that clip with your dad and Aladino testing how much clearance there is for the engine.🙂
Great video, building and using mockup brilliant. Thanks
Love the detailed planning and mock up to make the engine install as drama (and explitive-free) as possible. It's always lovely to see Brian and Aladino working together - what a great team!
Amazing how the boat is coming along-nicely produced episode!
Getting pretty excited to see this in the water soon. Looks great!
I’m probably close to Brian’s age, but I still consider him “Boat Dad” in the same way some consider their mother “Class Mom”
As always, I really enjoy the video and Maya’s musical selections
I noticed the hinges on your cabinet doors were made by ABI. If your looking for more to match, The Blue Pelican marine consignment store in Alameda CA has boxes of new old stock ABI hardware in the back of the store. Just an FYI
Your boat is looking really great!
Thanks for the tips!
Hi from New Zealand, I am not sure if I am missing something but as a suggestions why don't you lower the engine in with the gearbox facing forward. Once its clear of the hatch you can then move the lot forward and continue to lower away and turn it once its in the cabin. She coming along nicely. Cheers Ian
Was thinking the same thing
Exactly
Drama required for punters. 🤫
Without rollers and a turntable of sorts, a bit too heavy to simply "turn" in the confined space of the cabin, IMHO.
@@michaelcallahan4561 If the hook swivels just do it while its still in the air inside the cabin? Cheers Ian
Having done this exact maneuver on my boat, it’s far simpler to just unbolt the transmission and flange from the flywheel housing and bring the transmission on board first, then hoist the engine. This way you don’t have to mess with tilting the engine and makes the lift simpler and safer.
Now everybody needs to go help John finish up the flood damage repair in his shop so he can get back to Antidote 😊
Aladino and “Dad”, fortunately it is always “beer o’clock” somewhere in the world. Cheers from Oz…. The home of beer o’clock.
I would want to get it right with the least amount of damage to the excellent work already completed as well. It's always better to be safe than sorry. You are on a tight schedule as well.
Hi, similarly a comment from NZ. Drop the engine in and rotate inside is much easier than what you are trying to do. Cheers Peter.
I just love the episodes with your dad Maya. It brings back so many memories of my dad who was a boat builder and sailor. He was a lot like your dad and Alidino rolled into one.
That planning and mock up will go far when it is time to install the engine! Good video!
Great people doing amazing work! Thank you.
Yes Maya, it will be interesting to see Brian at work after seeing those cap rails.
I am enjoying this journey so much...I can't believe what a monumental project this continues to be but your perseverance is "soon" to be your reward....I can't wait. The boat is gorgeous and I can only imagine your thoughts as you will be studying the beauty of your work while you sail around the world! And I love your Dad, Maya!! He is SO proud of the work the two of you are doing and his advice and expertise is obviously much appreciated by you and Aladino. God bless you all....the future is phenomenal, I'm sure of it ❤.
Another interesting planning session with the cardboard engine. That was really cool to see the method that was used to work out the necessary angles and connection points for the real thing. Looking forward to seeing the engine put into its final working home spot.
Watching Brian painstakingly making an accurate and quite rigid cardboard facsimile of the engine reminded me of one I did to confirm bring out a large cabinet I'd plan to build in the basement shop of my former home. Unlike Brian's, mine wasn't rigid enough and flexed just enough to give me erroneous confidence in my ability to easily bring the completed cabinet out of the shop via the staircase with its 90 degree turn at the top. The cabinet was able... just barely and with a lot of shoving denting of the drywall (and yes more than a few choice words...) as it exited the basement. Good job, Brian! You're a wiser man than I!
Maya's dad is a cool dude. His assistance with working out the engine install will be more appreciated when there's a 500# weight to deal with! I haven't seen him second guessing Aladino's work methodologies, so that's always helpful, especially when AL has done such excellent, painstaking work from Day One! I think dad will be pleased with the boat once it's back in the water! AL will surely feel a sense of pride whenever guests go sailing with him on his beautiful boat. Maya will, too!
Some dads are great❤
Watch your careful work every week. Great work! One thought, did you consider lowering the engine transmission first then rotate it 180 once it clears companion way?
What a great team!
The finished pieces look terrific. I think the dry run with engine mock up went extremely well.
Great vid. And, your Dad is probably about my age and the tasks he undertakes are clearly skilled and a great benefit. But more than that .. British sarcasm would say he's "like a pig in s**t" .. in other words he's enjoying himself to the very utmost and he's where he belongs!
You had me at Cape George cutter... what a great choice!
I like the approach you guys are taking to plan out the engine installation, better to know the issues before you have the weight on the hook! Well done!
All your work and finishes is excellent and good looking, but I really liked the wicker. You are an amazing team.
Looking forward to seeing the real engine go in! And super cool to see Matt and Yanni. And, of course, your dad.
I love the planning, and attention to detail that is involved with engine installations. I have two sons and two daughters. It is often said in the family that the males handle projects with confidence, but no finesse. The women approach projects with an eye to art, preservation, and cleanliness.
Great job with every thing.
loving the channel.
have you considered putting the gear box in pointing Fwd and turning the engine once inside the cabin?
Cheers
Neil
I suspect Brian might be becoming a youtube star in his own right!
Your dad is sooooooo coooool and of course you guys just rock love from australia
That would be an awesome collection of my favorite channels... Duracell, Magic Carpet, Salt and Tar, and Yaba.
Your work is so cool
Awesome work guys! Always nice to see Bryan coming in to help! Keep it up
Brian (Dad) knows this is called shoe horning that engine into place, with prior deliberation which, in Canada, is completely optional. Then you pass through a place where desperation and stubborness work together to leave divots. All good!
"We'll try to keep the expletives out of the filming."
I have been trouble shooting and fixing problems for 40 years. I think your viewers can handle a few cuss words in a nod to authenticity in keeping with the finest naval work traditions. After all, it is a well known fact that steps one and two of any boat project is first to cuss at the problem followed shortly thereafter by giving it a good whack. Real pros can do both in one move. It is only after these two steps have been accomplished that thinking, problem solving, and solutions are to be had. LOL
😂
Loved the episode, so varied this week. Always good to see your Dad.
Thank you all! Very good progress!
Dad representing, BCF, Quinsam Q of Surrey and Q of Alberni my first ships..35 yrs later retirement, good memory's.
Brian you do beautiful work, and the engine puppet is brilliant, fun to watch.🍻🧡
It is really cool to see "The Duracell Project" up for a visit. They are my other favourite boat renovating channel.
Nice to see how your dad gets a life boost from your endeavors 😉🙏🏻👍
I have always been amazed at the level of detail you both are putting into this project. I also wonder how much off shore big sea experience you both have? You might want to do a crossing with crew who have that experience. Great luck to you both. Also your videos have surpassed most TV shows.
Brian is a true sailor. Very good use of Duct Tape
I guess having a tiny YSE8 engine has its advantages, even though I wish for more than 8hp every time there's more than a 5kn headwind with the tiniest waves!
Bravo Brian!
9:14 my two favorite sailing or should I say 'refiting a yacht' couples 👌
I would consider a large U shape lifting attachment particularly for lifting the engine onto the mounts. Also, removing the hatch, as mentioned below, and adding protecting rubbing strips all around the surfaces in the vicinity, that will prevent the dings that a heavy engine would inflict on the mahogany, and make the lowering less stressful and swifter.
Getting in reverse position ( transmission fwd) and make 360 inside. Is more easy without need tilting a big angle. Good luck.
Great planning, and beautiful work, and I love the detail. 👍
I remember moving my couch to a basement and doing all this kind of pre-thinking and then you just have to get it done. I just don’t want you to hurt that boat.
“Dad doing some CAD” (Cardboard Assembled Design)
Great episode you guys.
I always put the transmission in first and rotate the engine once it is below decks. The alternative in many cases is removal of the transmission--something to be avoided if possible,.
Spotted a well known pharmaceutical product from Australia often taken to alleviate anxiety and depression - Cadbury Dairy Milk.
It looks to me like there would be more space if the transmission went in through the companionway first. There looks like there is enough space above the benches to rotate the engine before lowering. Hopefully I'm right and it makes the job easier.
Incredible amount of work. 💖
Good morning you 2 😻 , I'm wondering just how much the new engine weighs ? ( approx ) and when you think you'll try to put it in
the compartment ? I can't quite figure out how you'll pull it off with the boat shed cover being up - even though Aladino is a very clever fellow !
😸🙏
You have to put the blue tape around the edges to prevent any scratch.
I saw a comment about removing hatch door, good suggestion. I can't see the unit but if you can remove the transmission you would reduce weight to shift and tilt needed. Just put it in first and bolt it back on inside. A few minutes work could save lots of adult language! Good luck.
keep on trucking I really enjoy your endeavor.
