I started watching because of the work videos, and I’ve stayed because of the adventures! It will be cool to see boat work again, and then we’ll be ready for more adventure. :)
15:14 - Britt, you are now officially a mechanic. We all smash our knuckles at one time or another. That chain winch is a beautiful piece of engineering.
NZ, not only the most beautiful country, but also saturated with the most inovative engineers in the world. Love the resourcefullness of that small country who invented the Hamilton jet and Stabi cract.
Love the way Colin just pulls apart the new winch drills a few holes tightens a few nuts & it all going to work fine. Me still trying to open the box to get it all out.
Thats called the magic of editing, the reality is he spent tons of time measuring, drilling, epoxying, test assembling just like the rest of us, but the magic removes all that. BUT, I hear ya, Colin is my idol too! 😊 Amazing amount of work they do on the run….
Good stuff, the end gave me a fright, that it ended just after that job. Great to see Britt back, she looked beautiful in her best women dress. Another good episode, yes Colin, always good to see you guys on the tools. How confident you and Jamie are on glassing etc ... mauriora
My home town, Whangarei... nice one mate... im currently in Esperance, Western Australia working on my own 64ft ex trawler conversation into a private vessel to start my own life on the sea... love your channel
Im not sure how I got here but so happy I found your channel. What a great group of lovely people. What an adventure to sail with you! Of course Brit is a fellow 🇨🇦. ❤️from Vancouver Island 🏝
To drill a larger hole where there is already a hole. Install new larger hole saw on pilot drill. Now attach a hole saw the same size as the hole on the deck. The smaller hole saw attached on the inside of the larger hole so I will act as a guide/pilot.
Load sensors!! Colin forever making Parlay better and better is so satisfying to watch and by the way I hope the marina using salt shark!! Another brilliant episode!!! Cheers 🍻
yeah i think one of their major goals should be to establish distribution to and via marinas, and have regular large shipments to marinas / dock yards. would be a good logical place to start for consistent volume sales.
Tom Hudson just made the news Canada-wide for rescuing a Great Pyrenees (Ivy) in Manitoba while on his cross-country canoe trip. You should be so proud of Tom and his actions.
Hey Colin, two hole saw blades should be able to fit together on the same arbor. In the future if ya need to drill a bigger hole, mount the size required on the arbor then find the current size hole saw blade and mount that on the arbor on top of the larger blade. The small blade should fit snug in the existing hole and guide the bigger hole saw blade perfectly.
Welcome home Britt. Here I was thinking that with all the work you have spent with repairs and rebuilds you would have been ready for Fiji. Oh well keep up the great work all of you and have some fun along the way.
Great job on the windlass. I went with the quick Dylan because the holes lined up, but that windlass with emergency backup is a beauty. Well worth a little modification!
Happy Sunday, Morning Parlay. Welcome back, Brit! Great work on the sail drive dampner removal. Welcome to the gear head life. You have been crisinded by the sacrifice of scrapes and cuts. I am not sure exactly where you are today, but I hope it's in Teahupo'o for the surfing comp starting at 10 am PCT. have a great week. I can't wait to see your Fiji experience, hopefully some Kava, with a good wash down for the crew and yourself, and a lovo cooked meal, nothing beats cooked food dug out of a hole in the ground. Till next week have a safe and wonderful time. A Lindo & Mcfly episode is need before the boys come home, I miss seeing them.
Big relief you replaced those failing thru hulls before you found a huge leak at sea ! Colin, if you have to use hole saw again, you can also use pucks of disposable material hot glued or CA'd to hull in 3 or 4 places to guide saw until its embedded.. This also allows offsets if needed for positioning... The pucks will come off with a good hit from a mallet.
It's awesome how much I have learned with these types of episodes. I just hope I can remember when needed, lol. Thanks for the lessons and another great episode.
Do what I do, revisit the repair videos occasionally. I'm definitely learning without the scraped knuckles although I manage to tear some flesh on an almost weekly basis.
Thanks Colin for sharing this with us. The amenities in the haul out yard were amazing! How nice to have lovely area to sit and chill at the end of a day of hard work, or even to take a lunch break! New windlass looks amazing - anchors away!!
When I first bought a boat, I saw the prices of charters and thought “who would pay that much money ?”. The definition of B.O.A.T is real people. You pay for that life.
Now that Anchor windlass is truly a thing of beauty not alone from the visual perspective, but the robust well though out design and construction...especially with that Nuclear option built in , so that if things went South you could still hand crank that sucker...meaning you're truly sorted , what's that they say about Value, "Accountants would know the cost of everything , yet the Value of nothing." Great Upload.
Switching out those bad thru hulls was a life saver. My dad had a 38 bristol , and kept a large bung tied to each one , so as to have a plug in the event of failure. They also had a ground wire linking them all together. OOOOH that chain set up is a thing of beauty. Looks like this haul out was well worth it. Looks like your anti foul holding up good. Now a rigging squealer. What a world. we just had a bat. Keep up the good work. Just love this channel.
Awesome work guys that new windlass is amazing!! Colin always assembles the best crew and awesome work to the girls pulling those parts off the engine for the sail drive!! Be safe out there.
little trick with the hole saws ! when you want to saw a bigger hole with a hole saw but you have an existing hole ! the attachment thread where the hole saw goes is so long that it can take 2 hole saw blades on top of another, take the drill bit completely out and twist a smaller hole saw (depending on the size of the existing hole) inside the bigger one in the same thread ! then you will have a correct size quide for opening holes👌
I am a marine engineer that used to cast, machine and fit those nasty leaking, seizing, corroding gunmetal/magbronze/phosbronze/alubronze seacocks and skin fittings. They were the best option at the time (last 100years or more). The nylon composite alternatives available now are far better in every way (Wooden boat varnishing, english pub dark interior, teak decking stuck in the past wizards aside), Trudesign are world leaders. Great choice!
I don’t know man, I’ve been offshore tuna fishing for 40+ years. I do NOT want plastic (that what they are, PLASTIC!) thru hulls anywhere on my hull, especially below the water line. You’re one small crack away from sinking. Imuse nothing but STAINLESS steel thru hulls. I’ve never had a failure , EXCEPT for the nylon seal inside some of them around the stainless ball (on the ball type valves). Go figure, the plastic fails while the stainless looks brand new.
Nonsense comment like usually when it comes to this. So many old geezers have a hard on for metal. Eg some refuse to believe that gluing is stronger than bolting in most fiberglass applications. If you add in glassing it's not even a discussion @@Machria23
@@Machria23 An arguement never to be won bye either side. I am on your side though. I do wonder if two lightning strikes could have anything to do with the state of the throuhulls here though.
Colin I thought you were at the top of your game. Plastic ummm through Hull fittings o no😬 you should be looking at stainless or what was on there. It's very unusual to see them in that state. Do you not have sacrificial anodes for the reduction of electrolysis as these are of a softer material. That the electricity that moves throughout the water in mariners and alike areas. And on or around your craft... I've watched your videos but never really noticed any... Happy boat fixing.. love your videos look forward to Sunday evening. ❤🍻🏴🏴🥂🤔
That winlass, winterlass, windlass, did my head in!! I used to watch my Dad work on many handyman jobs in the house and learned a lot from him, but this was way above my pay grade!!. And well done Britt....
Looks like the through holes work was just in time. So glad the rough seas didn't damage any as you went on your Kiwi circumnavigation. Hope you're sailing again by now.
Was wanting to say the same thing. Bees will out-compete indigenous insects. Must plant lots of indigenous pollen producers. Love Hervé. Sure we'll see him again 🌼🌺🐝💨
Great to see the boat work as well as the adventure of sailing, very informative. I really appreciate the human aspects that are highlighted as well. Great to see Britt back on the boat.
Man, upgrading that maxwell was so satisfying. Honestly. Nice bit of kit, I hope it has the same lifting power and speed as the larger motor from the previous unit. It's not a major but we've all been in situations when you need that power, generally with a lee shore and a sudden squall... Well done team.
Wonderful to see everyone together. The girls are amazing; good job rescuing the drip tray Jaime; and that new Windlass is bad-ass beautiful. So very happy for Herve 🐝❤
I'm certain that the maintenance is not nearly as much fun as the sailing but I really enjoy watching you, Jamie and the gang as you solve the puzzles of keeping the ship afloat.
Just as interesting in dry dock as on the ocean! You are really showing the nuts and bolts it takes to maintain Parlay. Amazing work, a team effort all around! See ya next week.
Great teamwork on the boat with maintenance. I make similar molds for plastic machines that made your valves here in Perth. Did my trade in NZ early 2000s as a toolmaker.
Absolutely beautiful winch! Love the composite valves, nice. I don't know about you Colin but putting that winch on a Lagoon deck without a doubler plate gives me pause. Probably be fine because the old one didn't rip out but still, can't help the thought. Safe travels, love the channel.
Hi Colin, and wonderful team Parlay wow that is pretty amazing that you never sung with that through the whole way. It was just usual. Sometimes we put our life in little things like that anyway it’s good to see you caught up with it all and it’ll be like brand-new again , Cliff from Australia
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I love the positivity and your attitude during hard times. Your crew members are amazing and Jamie is a one of a kind person. You don’t meet too many people in life like him. I’m glad to see Herve is getting his bee business going. Best of luck to him! I hope to become a Patreon by the end of the year to help you on your adventurous journey and the people you help along the way. Keep up the positivity, great work and adventures!!
That emergency on windless. is awesome. as iv just watched captain sandy lost all power had to leave the anchor behind. yes i know much bigger. but way better then having to link up to the othere windless. especially if ya dont have a 2nd. anyway happy safe travels yall
Every boat should have wooden bungs (that fit) in your emergency bag in case of emergency at sea, could save your life! Parlay gets younger every time you work on her!$!
Hey Colin, love your work as usual. Gutted we couldn't help you out with some fabrication work this time around. Next time, mate. Im glad to see you using the tru design products. i was working for them as their maintenance engineer while they were designing the though hole and three-way valves. It's great to see them being used here and around the world. All the best to you and the crew. Ben at Cotton Fabrication Ltd.
Hole saw tip, the arbor will thread two hole saws and the larger saw is typically not as deep as the smaller diameter saw. Thread on the larger saw then thread on the saw that fits the existing hole. I use this method regularly as an electrician.
Colin Terry a New Zealand born Maori from Whananaki you’d know but for others 35 km north east of Whangarei by road. Bro been watching your travels now for the last 2 months. First time I checked in when you guys started repairing parlay. I h ave travelled and have now resided in Australia for the last ten months, anyway I was watching the first episode and I thought that guy sounds like a kiwi, when I heard your surname I thought ok dads a pakeha Scotsman, and thought yeah he doesn’t look Māori maybe mum was islander? Wasn’t until I saw the episode of you visiting them on Aotea that the penny dropped. Anyway bro what I really was wanting to thank you for as in my eyes because you are unknowingly or good on you if you are knowingly promoting “Gods own “ we kiwis , know that to Aotearoa , land of the long white cloud. Anyway what I was saying in today’s modern social network society people like yourself whom are followed world wide are a in my eyes a role model for our people and country. And finally multi media types like yourself are finally making a concerted effort to pronounce Māori names correctly, and finally finally I hear someone pronouncing my hometown Whangarei correctly, and low and behold that pakeha Sheila ( that’s kiwi lingo for Caucasian girl ) fluently lets Whangaparoa flow from her lips . So thank you as you can see from your positive influence not only are you letting people hear the correct pronunciation of Maori words but it also shows in your pronunciation of Polynesian, malanesian names. So Mr Mccrae from a former merchant navy seaman keep the good work. Just a side note, I would only go to sea , with, New Zealand, Australian or English companies because of safety standards , and you are right from the old days of tuna boat refits in Whangarei in the eighties I meet a lot of kiwi chief engineers, must be that old number 8 mentality, they were all good at their jobs to the point as we all do as fellow seafarers trust them with my life. I wonder if all those non seafarers realise how much responsibility a captain has, whether they the captain’s word is the law . That comes with the responsibility of their crew and passengers safety. Sorry I have rambled on. Last thing again thank you for the educational side of your videos, and between you and me I’d go to sea with you Captain/ chief, Kia kaha ( stay forever strong ) and Aroha ( love ) to you and your whanau & hapu ( family & extended family ie crew & followers) to you all be safe take care , finally be good, if you can’t don’t get caught lol haere ra ( bye till time)
What the hell, was that a short episode or was it just so interesting I lost track. Lots of tips and tricks right there and great to see Britt back. Rock and roll.
18:09 - "ITS LIKE THE STANLEY CUP!" Got a hockey fan on board! Nice
Amazing life brother, so happy that you had your dad there.
Good work, Colin.Lovely giving back to a man, making his dream come true.Full circle he helped your dad ,you helped him as the next generation.
Can't understand why you aren't at 1 million subscribers 😢 you're the most interesting youtube to watch ❤
Everything about this channel is wholesome! People that appreciate everything and each other.
I started watching because of the work videos, and I’ve stayed because of the adventures! It will be cool to see boat work again, and then we’ll be ready for more adventure. :)
As much as I love seeing all the places you travel I really enjoy these episodes and seeing the thoroughness in how you care for Parlay 🤙🏻
15:14 - Britt, you are now officially a mechanic. We all smash our knuckles at one time or another.
That chain winch is a beautiful piece of engineering.
It's a work of art.
Dad always said no mechanic job was complete until blood was shed.
@hydewhyte4364 the sacrifice MUST be made to the mechanical engineering gods
Hi Colin, a very nice touch bringing Hervé out to NZ. So nice to see you still remaining humble as ever. Great work from your crew.
Cheers mate!
Another great episode, thanks for continuing to bring us along for the journey with such a positive outlook.
Safe travels Parlay!!!
Love the bee keeping story , beautiful
NZ, not only the most beautiful country, but also saturated with the most inovative engineers in the world. Love the resourcefullness of that small country who invented the Hamilton jet and Stabi cract.
Yeh, don't think I'd be bragging about the stabi craft
You forget we also split the atom (Ernest Rutherford) although I’m not sure if that was a step forward or back 😊
@@Luke-ly6od How can i be bragging? i'm not a KIWI.
What a great reunion for your dad and Vivay(sp).

The wood work your Dad completed looked amazing! Always enjoy watching your videos.
Always love the boat work episodes. Very cool that two of the products are made in NZ!
When I first bought a boat, I saw the prices of charters and thought “who would pay that much money ?”. The definition of B.O.A.T is real people. You pay for that life.
Whoa, I get overwhelmed looking at a work list like that. Love how bright & shiny the new windlass is. 😂

You have not lost a step in the yard Colin!! Master engineer at work imho! That Maxwell looks like next level stuff, thanks for a great episode!
It's Sunday... It's Colin Day... YAY!!!
This channel is solid proof its better to have a friend with a boat
I enjoy what you and Parlay crew gives to all of us followers. It means a lot that yall treat everyone the same. Thank you
Thanks for the pro tip on drilling that hole larger for the windless and the bung trick. Cheers!!

faaaaaark, been doing this all wrong 4 50 yrs.... plurry great tip cheers, 2 min later.... huh?
Exellent video and choices of replacement gear, Colin and team! I love the A Capella music too.
I am a marine engineer that used to cast, machine and fit those nasty leaking, seizing, corroding gunmetal/magbronze/phosbronze/alubronze seacocks and skin fittings. They were the best option at the time (last 100years or more).

I don’t know man, I’ve been offshore tuna fishing for 40+ years. I do NOT want plastic (that what they are, PLASTIC!) thru hulls anywhere on my hull, especially below the water line.

have him buy some flowers and veggies to plant all around his island to help the bees
Was wanting to say the same thing. Bees will out-compete indigenous insects. Must plant lots of indigenous pollen producers. Love Hervé. Sure we'll see him again
🌼🌺🐝💨
Great to see the boat work as well as the adventure of sailing, very informative. I really appreciate the human aspects that are highlighted as well. Great to see Britt back on the boat.
Those through hulls and fittings were sketch!! Glad you are replacing them. Can you imagine the chaos that would have ensued if you had to close one!
One big trough hull and a pipe inside the hull connecting any thing needed.
The best cruiser channel about remarkable people on a journey of the heart.
Man, upgrading that maxwell was so satisfying. Honestly. Nice bit of kit, I hope it has the same lifting power and speed as the larger motor from the previous unit. It's not a major but we've all been in situations when you need that power, generally with a lee shore and a sudden squall... Well done team.
Wonderful to see everyone together. The girls are amazing; good job rescuing the drip tray Jaime; and that new Windlass is bad-ass beautiful. So very happy for Herve 🐝❤
The only thing I don't like about Parlay Revival videos is it ends too soon! Needs to be at least an hour or more longer!
100% agree. This much work deserves a 60min directors cut
I'm certain that the maintenance is not nearly as much fun as the sailing but I really enjoy watching you, Jamie and the gang as you solve the puzzles of keeping the ship afloat.
When you go sailing stuff breaks and you hope you can either fix it or make it in to a Marina to fix what breaks.
Just as interesting in dry dock as on the ocean! You are really showing the nuts and bolts it takes to maintain Parlay. Amazing work, a team effort all around! See ya next week.
Nice trick for drilling out those skin fittings from outside 👍👍👍your very lucky with the state of those skin fittings that the boat hasn’t sunk!!!
Great teamwork on the boat with maintenance. I make similar molds for plastic machines that made your valves here in Perth. Did my trade in NZ early 2000s as a toolmaker.
The ladies deffo seem to be very able crew ppl. 🙌
That emergency backup is amazing! I can't tell you how many small sailing channels that are actually pulling their anchors up by hand. Great video.
Perhaps, they are competent.
Ahhh, Sunday morning and Parley. Thank you
I’ve never been on a sail boat, but I love the repair videos
15:12 Wear some durable gloves when wrenching. You can't always predict when a wrench might slip or your hand might slip or something might give way.
2:22 Its human stories and gestures like that that put this channel head and shoulders above any other sailing channel on UA-cam.
Can't wait for the dogs!!!
Absolutely beautiful winch! Love the composite valves, nice. I don't know about you Colin but putting that winch on a Lagoon deck without a doubler plate gives me pause. Probably be fine because the old one didn't rip out but still, can't help the thought. Safe travels, love the channel.

That emergency on windless. is awesome. as iv just watched captain sandy lost all power had to leave the anchor behind. yes i know much bigger. but way better then having to link up to the othere windless. especially if ya dont have a 2nd. anyway happy safe travels yall
Thanks for making my Sunday morning Colin. Just great stuff, as usual! Great video
Rumor has it, 2 DOGS found a shipwrecked boat, they learned from best and fixed it, Last seen on way to Fugi to surprise Colin ❤ OLD sea dogs
I'd leave the shark bite and cover with clear epoxy to keep the '46S' designation of the boat :)
Every boat should have wooden bungs (that fit) in your emergency bag in case of emergency at sea, could save your life! Parlay gets younger every time you work on her!$!
Hey Colin, love your work as usual. Gutted we couldn't
help you out with some fabrication work this time around. Next time, mate.

Hole saw tip, the arbor will thread two hole saws and the larger saw is typically not as deep as the smaller diameter saw. Thread on the larger saw then thread on the saw that fits the existing hole.
I use this method regularly as an electrician.
I can't believe you left us hanging to see the windlass working! 😅 That is one beautiful bit of kit!
Jamie going in the water had me rolling. You guys are the best
With all these people building new boats, I can see Parlay being upgraded in the future! Would be keen to hear your mid to long term plans.
I bet Colin had no idea what the "Stanley Cup" is. Big thumbs up for you Brit!
Cha ching $$$$$$$. Sail drive, windlass, seacocks and fittings are all game changers.
The fiber glass Kings are back
Hey team great vid, love the work going into Parlay. Colin that piece of stick propping the forward cabin window open at 21:31 😂😂😂
Love Yard episodes! Brit, I smiled at the Stanley Cup reference.

Anyway what I was saying in today’s modern social network society people like yourself whom are followed world wide are a in my eyes a role model for our people and country. And finally multi media types like yourself are finally making a concerted effort to pronounce Māori names correctly, and finally finally I hear someone pronouncing my hometown Whangarei correctly, and low and behold that pakeha Sheila ( that’s kiwi lingo for Caucasian girl ) fluently lets Whangaparoa flow from her lips . So thank you as you can see from your positive influence not only are you letting people hear the correct pronunciation of Maori words but it also shows in your pronunciation of Polynesian, malanesian names. So Mr Mccrae from a former merchant navy seaman keep the good work. Just a side note, I would only go to sea , with, New Zealand, Australian or English companies because of safety standards , and you are right from the old days of tuna boat refits in Whangarei in the eighties I meet a lot of kiwi chief engineers, must be that old number 8 mentality, they were all good at their jobs to the point as we all do as fellow seafarers trust them with my life. I wonder if all those non seafarers realise how much responsibility a captain has, whether they the captain’s word is the law . That comes with the responsibility of their crew and passengers safety. Sorry I have rambled on. Last thing again thank you for the educational side of your videos, and between you and me I’d go to sea with you Captain/ chief, Kia kaha ( stay forever strong ) and Aroha ( love ) to you and your whanau & hapu ( family & extended family ie crew & followers) to you all be safe take care , finally be good, if you can’t don’t get caught lol haere ra ( bye till time)
WOW! Great timing for a haul out as only your good karma was holding those through hulls together!!!! Cheers!
Good job Brit and team. Your bloody knuckle ✊ full respect 🫡
I'm a bit jealous of the sweater-shirt, seems super comfy while not having sleeves get caught on anything!
What the hell, was that a short episode or was it just so interesting I lost track. Lots of tips and tricks right there and great to see Britt back.
Rock and roll.
Looking Good.....Take care of your boat.....so it can take care of you.....
