    A trick I was taught for cutting bolts was to run the nut down past the point you want to cut the bolt. That way if you do mess up the threads a bit when cutting the bolt, when you back the nut of it will clean them up for you.

      @freyja4954 2 роки тому

      Proper tools would help a lot to. I have a split die's That pretty much allows you to do that if you forget or if you're doing it on something or can't run the bolt all the way down like a piece of threaded rod.

    You two are doing it right. The last thing you want to be concerned about at sea are fundamental components like chain plates, through hulls or rigging. You have an excellent boat for this kind of upgrade/maintenance. It's a solidly built boat.
    I did a gut job on a 1966 29' Columbia Sloop in Seward Alaska back in the 80"s. It took me a whole summer and my wife almost divorced me over it but after I was finished nothing failed. The last thing I wanted to happen was to have that boat to have major problems or sink out from underneath us 100 miles from anywhere in the Gulf of Alaska. This was long before satellite communications or GPS. Thanks for the video. Upgrade On!

Good point you made about the 316 verses 304 grade and also the water jet cutting verses the pressing. Stainless steel is strong 💪 but can be brittle in certain situations. Love your work guys. 🐟

  • @markcortes8764

    Nice work guys. She is looking amazing. Quick tip with cutting the U bolt shorter. If you have a nut on the thread before you cut it, then after it’s cut you can unwind the nut, and it will clean the thread as it comes off. Just helps if you accidentally nick the thread.
    She’s going to be a beautiful yacht.

    Once again, another great video. Jordan, great explanation on the chain plates mate. I reckon 316 SS is a better quality steel, especially, for corrosion and pitting resistance. 316 is a better all around stainless for marine applications, due to the addition of chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. PS did an amazing job with the new stern / solar arch, and davit system. It looks absolutely stunning. Cheers 🇦🇺.

  • @navyretired230
    @navyretired230 2 роки тому +1

    Tip: When you grind Stainless Steel (with a fairly clean uncontaminated grinding wheel) watch the sparks. If they are like little darts it is most likely 304. If the sparks slightly explode towards the end of the dart it has a higher carbon content and is 316 stainless. A magnetic sticks slightly harder to 316 SS than to 304SS. The internal corrosion you mentioned is call: Inte-granule corrosion as a result of internal stress from bending, welding and punching. It is most prevalent in welded joints unless the technician annealed the area with heat after welding. You will see rust like on big container trucks at the weld joints and rust and many sharp bends.

Good call .... lot of work but well worth it when you're halfway across the Pacific ocean all alone.

    The davits look nice! And those brand new chain plates will pay many "peace of mind" dividends on heavy weather legs. Don't forget to consult with Athena's video on his solar panel arrangement. Mads has slide out outboard panels to double his array when he can. They aren't mounted yet so you can also watch that one when it happens, but we've seen it in its construction.

    Jordan, I notice you were wearing a seiko 5 sports watch. Very good choice. This tells me you are some what of a watch guy. Watches and sailing are very closely linked. Robert Redford wore a seiko skx in the movie "All is lost". Perhaps you could do a short episode on your passion for watches or how you came to own the seiko 5. Seems to me your started the channel with a casio then moved to a seiko 5 field watch in cream color. So you must have some interest in watches. Perhaps this could even lead to a watch company sponsoring your show. I am looking forward to you guys getting under way.

    What is your rationale for not epoxying the holes for the chain plates, redrilling them, then install with the calking you selected? Do you have room for a wind vane with the new davits in place? The new chain plates and overhead rig looks fantastic. Can't wait to see what kind of material you cover it with, before installing the solar panels.
