Excellent tutorial video - I have +50 years of sailing experience and I learned a few things by watching your very detailed video. Carry on Captain James❤
i think you are just plain wrong about HF, HF cant be turned off by people 7000 miles away... HF doesn't require an account HF gear is typically user serviceable you think starlink cant be turned off you should talk to the folks near gaza, they would assure you that is can be turned off from afar. dont get me wrong i like starlink i think its great, and i understand not wanting HF on your boat but HF is the safe reliable option
I know if l were to do another passage from Australia to South Africa & beyond , HF would be on my list....l believe it's called redundancy...paper charts & sexton for sharpness of mind & fun between crew😊👍
So your argument for this technology is solely "Nobody can turn it off?" That's not a good reason to spend $3k on an ICOM rig. For what? So you can have a backup? Name me ONE person in the last 10 years that was saved on a boat by calling out on the HF radio? Delorme, Iridium, & Starlink are the options, not HF. Same thing with paper charts, they are a dying tech. I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who decided not to print them anymore. I was a Navigator in the Navy, my JOB was to interpret data for dead reckoning on paper charts. I've probably prepped more charts in my life than you have ever seen. Does that change the fact that they're being phased out? I do own a couple sextants, and I've got a digital version of the worlds charts. I'd be happy to share those with whomever would like them. I also have a Delorme in my ditch bag so I don't have to fucking Dead Recon my way across the Atlantic Ocean in a liferaft with a signal mirror and some 15 year old flares.

Even with all the modern technology, HF & UHF/VHF is still employed as backup emergency communications when everything else fails. HF for long range, UHF/VHF for short (line of sight pretty much). There are HF maritime mobile nets still active for those with Ham Radio licenses which IMO every blue water sailor should obtain.
Since they are having trouble learning and retaining all of the proper sailing nomenclature they need to attach gay terminology to easily remember the proper nomenclature. For example the back stay can be called the bare back stay.
Thank you very much Captain James, for these clear and informative videos pt.1/2 and pt.2/2. They are in fact perfect tutorials for diy riggers like me. On my trailer sailor 23ft boat, I have to lay down the mast every time I take her home on the trailer. I use the aft lower shrouds and the forestay when lifting and lowering the mast. For the upper shrouds, back stay and a second forestay I use dyneema in the way you have desribed earlier (works perfectly!). Next I will replace the old steel (lower) shrouds and the steel forestay. Very helpful is your advice to use screwed trminals for steel 1x19 wire! Thank you so much!
Nice rigging job. Yes, I really like the new style pieces for rigging better than the old style. I've had a few failures on the old style on smaller racing boats.
Dear James, Thank you for this amazing video. Only one think I must share and sugest you, next time you climb to the mast please take a second rope to secure yourself once you are up. There can be the diference betwin anecdot or drama caused by causual and unexpected failure of the main rope that hold you. By the way, great video, thanks a lot.😉
Your videos are great as always but I miss the intro with ana saying ahoy that was classic.. Maybe I'm the only one anyway the key to spanish pronunciation as in saying ana is to learn how to correctly say the vowels in spanish, once you get that you are literally 80% there as spanish reads as you see it with just a few differences such as the h is silent and a j sounds like an american h.. Cheers
A benefit to HF is you can have a net with several people/boats and have conversations running about weather, gear, fishing, mechanical or whatever is on your mind. Think of old fashion "party lines" for the phone. Cannot do that with Starlink. Oh, use white electrical tape to cover safety wire and cotter pins, to prevent snagging on sails/clothing/skin, lines or anything else.
I dunno. I have starlink, but paused it, and still use my HF radio with winlink to get my gribs , weather, email, and check into the nets. The nets have a offshore social piece to them and check ins. I’ve sailed all my life, but did IT for 37 years. Still do HF for the weather and, and mail, and nets. But my antenna is a separate shroud going from the mizzen shroud base to the main head with dynema strops on the ends… Just me.
Next time you undo something and there’s a possibility it might fall onto the deck or someone’s foot you can put a restraining rope onto it to allow it to fall be suspended of the deck!
Here I was thinking I was going to see an actual set of lock wire pliers (you know the whole Navy Nuke MM1(SS) flashback happening when I saw "Lockwire". 🙂
Learning about all this is great background information for myself since I'm (hopefully) crewing on a JPK 11.80 (Atomic Blonde) from Hobart to Perth on January 1 after it completes the Sydney to Hobart race which begins on December 26. This is all assuming that it makes it to Hobart safely. I'm nervously excited.
Top class video James, glad you pointed out this was a 4 day project on the standing rigging alone!
Cheers Warren
Yes it was!

A lot of good information here James. Thank you. Btw, my beer fridge is full again. Just saying. Take care and atb from down here in Nz.
@SailingTakitimu A fitting name for the boat would be the "Glory Hull"

I literally click away when he talks or mugs!
Maybe someone got a bit hurt 😂.......
Your knowledge of everything boats, and sailing is simply amazing!
I love these DIY/ Tutorials! Great job Captain James!! 🙏❤🇺🇸⛵👣🤗
Over tightened rigging causes rigging damage
5/8should be around 80#
3/4 about 100#

Great mini series James, one question (that will vary boat to boat) How do you know what tension the stays and shrouds should be? ❤
Exceptional video! Very informative and useful. Cheers
I hope this standing rigging holds up better then that Warhammer. I'm seeing a lot of cringe worthy stuff. Even the cotter pin install was wrong.
No lock tight, hand tighten stuff w allen keys,
Whimpy boots
Really well done series James, this will be a great DIY reference for years to come!
Next time you undo something and there’s a possibility it might fall onto the deck or someone’s foot you can put a restraining rope onto it to allow it to fall be suspended of the deck!
So you didn't consider dyneema? You were pretty keen on it when you had your catamaran.
Selden says” do not use gue (rtv) on these cables ends “ .
Where does it states it must be done ?
Any rtfm on this ?
THE FLAMING DUDE WOULD AGGREVATE THE SHIT OUT OF ME! EVEN WOMEN DOESNT ACT LIKE THAT!
Is this the last we get of Mario? 😢 I hope not! Is there anywhere we can follow him?

Had a pair on my cat, and on the sub (of coarse). Still building my toolkit back up. ;)
Having random people on your boat still seem like a good idea lol?

Why do you need those speader boot cover things?
what purpose does the leather spreader covers serve?
Protects the sails when they rub against the spreader ends.
@@thelastpirate $100 for two pieces of leather??🫨
I really learnt a lot, in a entertaining video, thanks James. "top stuff" from Australia! Go the Plucky....
Safe travels lads...
Where is the splicing video link?
Great watch. Learnt some valuable info. Keep up the good work my man. 💪👍
Seems your boy enjoyed jail
I learned a lot. Thank you.
Thanks a lot to share James, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱!
Hola hermano! Gracias para mirar!
Thank you so good content !
Tks. 4 video zingaro your friend are blessed 2 have your help and experience
Great video and series on rigging James, even better series on the psychology of patience...wow you got it to spare...
It was amazing to watch you work James I say what a perfectionist bro such a good watch 😊
BTW, love rolling hitch knot. Your a beast for sure.
James, great job, you are very impressive with getting it done. You have an interesting helper there.
Aa very dense and practical video, thanks for the huge effort ..
James you are going to miss these guys when they are gone. You are the best "straight man" since Martin and Lewis.
Great video
❤❤❤
Overbent
hello and greetings from Paris France .. good luck to all
Great video. Thanks for the practical info.
Well done James and Crew! Love the boat work videos!!
Good day James… Big fan!👍🏼
G'day Cliff! Thanks for tuning in! :)
Who make the leather spreader boots
Edson
Thanks for the lessons James. You teach me how to maintain and sail a boat. La Vagabond teaches me how to spend one million dollars.
2 million...
Good video. Love this series
Where is the girl in baby?
Well done James
I LOVE being First]
