Hi Mark, Just ignore what those geese said about your work they are just jealous 😂
Those geese that are swans you mean??
@@kevinturner8343Swans are just posh ducks anyway.
That one was pretty rude about Mark's face.
@@kevinturner8343right you are old chap, geese are just as rude 😂
There's even a fairy tale about people confusing swans for other birds.
That's what you need mate, a beautiful Dutch girl who is skilled with fiberglass...
Mark, good video, admire honesty of needing a break, you've a lot on your plate. Pause and reflect, recharge your body and head atteries, you'll feel better for it, mentally.👍
Bro, you're killing this boat build! I can only imagine how proud your old man is watching you go head first with tools and learn the skills he has! Enjoy your week off and I'll be looking forward to the upload in 2 weeks time! Hands down my favourite channel on youtube!
May not be a bad upgrade some day to build an angle bracket from steel or wood. Use it as a backing plate for chain plate that ties the gunnel to the interior bulkhead. I'm afraid any foam coring will keep you from bolting plates tight enough also. Movement is usually followed by breakage.
As much as I'll miss your video next week, I'm so happy to hear you're taking a break because you deserve it !
I don't think I've ever met a goose that wasn't an ass. You're doing a great job, love watching you go!
Nobody has ever met a pleasant goose.
Are those not mute swans?
Swans with cygnets.
Even if, still don't feed them with bread. It's bad for them. If you want to feed them, then try vegetables, fruits or oatmeal. Usually feeding them isn't really necessary.
They are swans and as stated previously bread is very bad for all birds. It fills them up but has no nutritional value for them.
Mark, you do realise you can get scraper blades for those multi tools? And they're brilliant.
Dear TAC
👍👌👏 Yes, there sooo much different and useful attachments for those multi tools available. Some even especially for boat building purposes. Of course the brand Fein has the most stuff but unfortunately also the most expensive attachments. There are also electrical scrapers existing (I own an older one from brand Bosch. Newer ones are called PSE). Pretty helpful devices, even pretty good for carving.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
The next time you go in the wood store speak Mandarin!
Mark I seriously anticipate all week your video uploads. Good on you for getting her in the water!!! What a huge accomplishment! Do you keep a journal? Its nice every now and then to remember just how far you've come, to motivate you, and remind you that... You've got this m8!
i just want to say....iam loving the chanel and it's content .......but i hate the choice of musik......but other than that you are doing everything right,
keep it up, !!!!!
greetsz from friesland....max
😊
Good thing you were able to retrieve that mask step lucky man, Yep nothing wrong with taking a break, you've been at it for quite some time mark, Boat's coming along well. .
When you are laying glass/ epoxy, once wetted out, place a sheet of polythene over it and smooth down.
It gives a smoother surface.
It helps stick it at edges and around corners.
It should avoid the moisture causing the milkiness
There's a technique for getting people to speak to you in English when they refuse to speak English to you, switch to another language you're comfortable with (e.g. Mandarin), quickly they realise that English might be easier. I was taught this by an Icelandic who learned it when travelling in France, as soon as he tried speaking to people in Icelandic they suddenly could speak fluent English 🤣
@wildling Sailing
Hello Mark,
can you tell me which Ral colour code that beautiful turquoise is ? Love your vids. Thanks
Always a pleasure to watch. We all need a week off from time to time, so take it. I think your work is better every week and Mahi is looking great. That step looks the business and I'm pleased to see you getting some good help. Here's hoping for favourable autumn weather.
you deserve a bloody break lad, you've ran full tilt at her for months, and get those sponsors in, if it helps you out then I don't think any of us will mind the product placements 😉👍
Ive had glass go milky like that but with poly resin it's a no go.. It means the cloth is wet, its not good. With epoxy moisture prevents it from impregnating the cloth. I would say grind it off is proper, but im bodgey too so i never have. Still floating. P.s. not grinding it off if it's on the wood will cause rot if it's in-between laminates will cause weak lamination
I've been following you for a while. nice to see how you finished the cat. I am also a sailor myself and have a lot of stuff in my workshop. So I thought maybe you still need sails. I still have a mainsail of 12.00 meters high and a boom length of 3.5 meters and a genoa of VL 9.60 meters AL 9.30 Ol 3.30 all for free.
Glad to hear Thomas is coming back to us on his channel. Nice work on the repairs. It's nice how with this type of boat you seem to be able to do things a bit piecemeal.
Van Leersum you can get everything wood wise dude. I am restoring a wooden ketch from the uk. Good luck if you need more advice just ask.
Looking forward to your upper deck build. Kiwi Sam
'Milky' epoxy resin from moisture interacting with it while it it is curing, in my experience, the resin seems to stay soft when cured. Push finger nail or other into it and you will make an impression without much fuss and it won't sand easily e.g. clogged sandpaper.
im think of what i would to for an engine cause i think just like build huge contraptions for haging 2 out boarders to it seems like such an unelegant solution and i think since you have and probably will have lots of solar an elektric solution would be nice .... i really dont see super nice long lasting way of doing that properly that kinda makes me thing you sould have thought about it while the boat was out of the water actually ... damm ... i didnt think of it either... i mean you talked about it with once of the planners of this boat so it will probably be fine i just keep thinking about these submerganle 3 efoil motors ... but even tho they ment to be under water still they dont like saltwater ...
Hi Mark. Wow the intior was fairly wet. It's Great to finally see her on the water finally. Keep it up bro. 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
I've yet to meet a nice swan. The worst one came about 100 meters across a river and took the half eaten pasty out of my hand, badly bruising my fingers in the process. It knocked my drink over too.
Thinking back, it happened not far from the Wharram's house.
Keep up the good work. You're getting there.
A swine of a swan.
I mostly make friends with swans. They just need to be educated.
Getting that mast step is a great bonus. Until that clip, I couldn’t picture how the mast will fit.
Great work.
I love your enthusiasm for this boat, but i wouldn't take a brand new one out of a river let alone across oceans!
As always, a great watch. You deserve the week without stressing about getting a video out and I'm sure the next one in two weeks will be epic!
Good Job Mark...you've come a long ways...hang in there...in the end all that hard work will be worth it...fair sails ahead...⛵
When this boat project is finished, which really isn't, you will be a pro at patching and repair Mark.
That's why the most reasonable name for ANY sailboat is 'ENDLESS LIST'. 😊
After seeing all the rot I would highly recommend getting a moisture meter and really checking things. It is highly likely there is hidden moisture and rot in process in other areas m
You could at least have some footage of your lovely assistant in your absence. Dont burn out.
Respect for your motivation to keep on restoring this big wharram cat. I like wharram cats, but i am too much lazy...lol, and minimalist (my current boat is a 26 ft monohull), so even a tiki 30 or tanenui in good general condition would be fiine for me , even for living on board/travel (and less maintenance..!) . But if it is your dream boat , stay focused, rest and go the distance! Take care
Good to see you using the Nature Valley squaring tool, a must for all on the go tool kits.
these videos always have the best vibes. awesome to see the boat back on the water again!
Aah, my Saturday morning therapy Mark. Yes, take a break, balance life activities is vital to remain mentally healthy as well as physical health. It’s all looking so good.
The wildlife and the wet core were terrifying.
Great luck obtaining your mast-step!
Loving your progress and attitude. Just a mention bout the geese. I had my own brood that would meet me at meal times right near my lazarette when I lived onboard at Shelter Island. Instead of yeasty items that swell in their gullet and can cause injury I gave them dry cat food. A tasty alternative. Thankyou for all the great vids. Monty in Canada.
Brilliant Mark. Going to miss you next week . Keep up the good work😉
The best place for the chain plates are near heavily gassed in bulkheads. Structurally stronger.
Always a joy to watch you channel. Keep up the amazing work. Catch you in 2weeks time. Enjoy your peace.
Looking very professional now , just feed us a few tidbits and crack on we all want to see you sailing this year 😃🍻😊
I'd be getting a book of swan recipes..... hissy bastard things
Great job mark big thanks to tommhas But all the things you tackle will be a tick on the list and soon be there 🤓
Take it easy Mark, sometimes you need a break and come back fighting. Andy UK
Don't sweat the milky epoxy. I'd only be worried if it was an under designed, racing on the edge type build. This is a Wharram, it was designed with sub optimal conditions, materials and workmanship in mind (not that all of those apply to yourself of course!)
Love the videos and I will be waiting for when you have enough footage!
“with the help of my glamorous assistant…” 😊 no one seems to go unacknowledged in your videos. You’re a good egg.
Acetone leaves residue denatured leaves less of a residue
You need to burn that boat and go fishing. Its a piece of garbage
Well done Mark.. It needed to be done well & that's what you did. With where you are and what you have to work with it very few people could have done any better.
Wow! Lots of progress and a wind fall find of the mast step, huge!
That's quite a bit of rot and moisture to find but gives you the opportunity to tie the fiberglass into the bulkheads better for extra strength especially for chain plates.
Good luck and it looks awesome!
Enjoy the week off and maybe just shorts for updates. 👍
Great work Mark, the rotted sidewall wood reminds me of what we have been dealing with throughout our 52ft Endeavour Sailboat project. Its a shame the builder didn't do a little better quality on that area of the build. Chain plate structure needs to be dry and solid. Those swans were not very polite as you hand fed them. Enjoy your break from boat projects for a bit.
If strength and durability are needed, you do not need to use a beam from a whole piece of wood. The glued beam glitched from bars will be much more reliable and stronger!
Good job on this one. Your repair skills are definitely improving! Keep it up. You WILL eventually get it done.
Properly. You’re doing it properly. So proud of you. Wonderful!
Hi Mark
I wouldn't feed those swans again they seem very angry! Who was the young lady helping out with the epoxy?
Enjoying seeing the boat starting to look good. Keep up the good work.
Haha,,,yes, pray tell Mark!!!😂
Love the duchies on min 19:35 "goeiemorgen, blijft mooi jongens. Nou veel werk heb ik gezien"
Thomas: "Ja nou hij werkt vooral, ik kom gewoon helpen"
Translation:
Good morning, it is looking good boys, a lot of work that I could see
Thomas: yes, but He is mostly working I'm just helping
Thank you Mark.
Great video
How good is Thomas.
Top bloke👍👍👍
Looking forward to watching his videos.
So many helpers there willing to give you a hand great to see.
Enjoy your break
Well from making videos at least.
Cheers
Hi Mark, all coming together and looking good. Love the new footage, and you deserve a bit of a rest, keep going, cheers Craig UK.
You might try choosa board under the deck soft spot. Its like steel after using marine epoxy
Coosa?
That would be great to reinforce the area where the chain plates go.
Ive just done some work on my mothers home, in and out to the shed to get tools, paint, parts But! thats nothing to the amount of times you have walked / clambered in and out the boat 1000s of times I suspect, even dropping things in water. Behind the scenes will be more painful than what we see. Well done mate, keep up the good spirit.
Super Cool you put yourself out there like that ❤ looks like good fun Rockin Roll ❤
I suggest that you get a rotating mast, its much more efficient and your boat will go faster. Just a thought!
Making a rotating mast is difficult and the mast has to be very stiff. He would have to have that mast base welded to the bottom of the mast & make a ball & socket attachment to the boat. Young barnacles has set one up on their catana using a salvaged AC carbon fibre mast, then again he is a carbon fibre master that has many years of experience sailing and building America's cup race boats.
Thanks for posting and sharing.
So glad that you got that beam done!!! Congratulations!
Having a massive powerbank for each hull sounds like perfection... could they even drive hydrogeneration electric outboards (Navy 6.0 Evo - 9.9HP)... finding a sponsor like EPROPULSION would be ideal for you and Wharram Designs too of course... nudge, nudge!
No worries bro! You busted your ass all summer. Take the time you need, we'll be here when you get back! Great job so far! 💪🏼👊🏼
Perhaps a moisture meter Would be a definite purchase!
That styrene foam is a bloody catastrophe in the making. I removed every bit of it wherever I found it--it is USELESS because it is not adherent to the plywood, and is a rot greenhouse. Apart from cracks allowing in rain water, that foam-hull gap actually pumps water into the space. On a hot day the trapped air expands and escapes through pinholes and cracks, and when evening comes, the air in the space now contracts and sucks in moist air which condenses against the hull. It is a problem faced in telecommunications, where water diffuses into air-filled non-pressurized plastic PVC sheathed polythene insulated cables and gets trapped in there, and augmented every warm day with more moisture drawn into cables and condensing. The trapped moisture always travels uphill, and requires drains every time a lateral cable is spliced to the main run. There is only one solution, that is to occlude all air by using a petroleum jelly,. In your case, an adherent polyurethane foam with closed cells and bonded to the plywood. Waterproof, no voids, and no absorption.
Back to your problem. If foam insulation is required, there is another way. Use the contractors who spray-on polyurethane., and before spraying it, I put some laths of timber, about 10 or 15mm wide by about six millimetres thick One stands them on edge. Space these edge-on laths about ten to fifteen centimetres apart, tacked to the hull ply at about 300mm intervals using fast-cure 5 minute Araldite. Once these have set, run a little medium-speed cure epoxy-Cabosil fillet on the upward side of each lath, and as you put it in place using a popsicle stick, puddle it a little to try to push some into the crack below the lath--but it is not essential. Epcxy-Cabosil mixture when set is extremely strong and adheres well.
One sprays the polyurethane foam between these laths, and when the foam is set, one planes or sands it down to the tops of these laths, which will strongly support the cover plywood if you use it. Personally, I liked stick-on vinyl for easy wipe-down. Adding more plywood makes little sense apart from adding a little more hull strength. Glued on acrylic carpet using double-sided sticky carpet tape would be warmer. and much cheaper.
Mark, there are numerous solvents you can use to alter your resin's profile. Acetone is very popular with little merit. For starters, most solvents alter the more aspects of your bonding mediums in negative ways. And most are expensive. Acetone is a known carcinogen, yet boatworkers seem to love using it as often as they can! One of the more fortunate things about de-natured alcohol is that it is none of the above! It's much lower in cost. It's much safer for you. It doesn't screw around with the bonding properties. On top of all that, it's a much more effective diluent!
Love what you are doing here, good on ya. But I believe the chain plates were in that position because they had cross bracing reinforcement them from the stringer going across the boat.
Just a thought.
Thanks for the video! Of course we understand if you take a week off.
New deck patch, insufficient struct ure support. Will buckle. Deck patching: Grind ancient glass wood and rot out to good structure. New wood, glass, etc. tied in to solid old or replaced structure.
it's not a big job, it's just a hundred little jobs. Mahi is looking better every week. enjoy your catch up time.
Mark you have come a long long way from the boat yard in port Saint Louis and Minke I agree with brandon2103 your Dad must be really proud of you....keep up the good high quality work...cheers
To be honest I would have zero faith in the deck you have lashed down, far too flimsy, remember you want to cross an ocean, firstly you should router off the sharp edges and put at least triple lashings, if one lash fails you still have 2 holding, but it is very spongy between the beams, I just hope you have a good eperb and life jacket, sorry but I had to say it🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, watching you do this has been zen for me for the last few months, given me peace of mind and motivation to follow my dreams and keep on swinging for the fences so to speak. I wish you the best man.
Not sure I'd make a very good sailor ...man I was feeling seasick after watching ..😂 just keep it going mark . Balance it all out you'll get there .. maybe a good time for a good break we'll still be here and the boat will be too 😜🍻🍻🍻✌️🇬🇧👍
At times it seems you are going forward but that boat is too compromised to go around the world sail, more for off shore sailing.
Yes! Exactly what my long winded comment was trying to say!!!
Your fibre glassing technique has got so much more efficient, well done. Re hardwood for the mast, I've heard of people laminating shorter lengths where they need a long piece. Making a square and knocking off the corners to round it. Seems quite time consuming though.
Look up birdsmouth mast.
And hardwood is too heavy for a mast use Douglas fir or spruce or ….
The outdoor living area could be massive with an aft deck and a trampoline between the bows... amazing, that is a huge boat!
I’m sorry but how can this be safe? When it comes to let’s say crossing an ocean, I can’t imagine feeling safe with all the random “jigsaw” pieces of wood replaced. A lil fiberglass here and fiberglass there….from the videos it seems like u are constantly finding rotting (sections of) wood throughout the whole boat, and just cutting that part out, replacing with random miscellaneous sizes and pieces of wood or whatever kind of filler, topped with fiberglass, then moves on to the next rotten section. (Wash, rinse, repeat).
Sorry dear, I been cheering u on for a while but now it’s to the point that it just doesn’t seem safe whatsoever.
Or is it your intention to make the boat seem unsafe and un-sailable? Idk anymore.
It will be resold within a year.
If the work wasn't done - it would be unsafe. If you know anything about the strength of mechanical and chemical bonding of resin it might ease your concerns? I recommend having a look as west systems demonstration of the strength their product offers. Fibreglass is very tough when supported with the correct thickness.
Is it an idea to look for good wood ( thick oak and teak f.i. ) in furniture that is sold secondhand on Marktplaats and in Kringloopwinkels ( recycling shops)
Remember to use a mask when sanding epoxy🙂
Thank you brother about the warning about the advertising coming up. That's the best way to do it. I will grin and bear it for you.❤❤❤
But seriously that's a cool way 👍
Take your time to do it right and to stay in the groove!
Thx for showing the details on the work you are doing . I'm learning a lot from these videos. Especially how important having friends to help is.
Just wonderful seeing all the progress. Blessings to you and yours coming at you from southern oregon
Sometimes you have to step away from a project in order to not burn out , and any one who says it's not a thing obviously hasn't worked enough hours on some task to know , good show mate , you will be more productive when you come back to it
Great progress…. Are those outboards going to be strong enough to move that boat in current?
2 9.9s will be plenty. She’s very light
Was thinking early on it might be better to just cut top off and make new.i dont know why all the rot if it was epoxied
Hey Mark,
That was a good find for the Mast base. Great to watch things coming together.
Well done on your videos.
Nicely done on a tedious and likely frustrating part of boat work. See ya in a couple weeks. Cheers!
ALWAYS GOOD TO TAKE A BREAK. DON'T BE HARD ON YOURSELF. WE ENJOY WHAT YOUR DOING WITH PASSION.
You definitely have earned some days off. Don't forget to take care of yourself :)
Thanks! It's amazing how much time it takes to keep yourself alive during these kinds of projects.
That’s a fantastic place to dock your boat project, right next to shore. You don’t need to trudge the pontoons with your supplies 😊
Loving’ the groovy music Mark👏👏
