Dear E and L, fantastic videos. I love your channel. Great to see your lovely boat here. I loved visiting with my son 2 summers ago (red Woods Strider). Very best. Dan
Hey Dan!! How goes it down in the south?! We have literally just sent you an email, as you hadn't got our previous reply. Hope this one gets through (check your spam folder?) Anyway, so pleased you found the channel and are enjoying it. Tomato update please.... :)
We are planning to fit soft padeyes instead of a Genoa track (reduced cost and fewer holes in the deck). I don't have access to a lathe (or skills) so planning to use my router to smooth a hole through an Acetal disc bonded to the deck. Where loads are lighter the shackle knot will be indented into the underside of the disc. Then not as strong (epoxy glue strength of the disc to deck) but no hole in the deck.
@@SailingWildHoney Yup, will do some pull tests. We are using a through deck solution for our chainplates already and will continue to do so for all the higher load situations. See ua-cam.com/video/gVSKUtglriI/v-deo.html
Nice watching your composite work. What materials did you use for your daggerboards ? Were you concerned with making them able to break away if the hit something ? I’m needing to make a new daggerboard for my 47ft cat. They are 3,9m long and 60 cm wide
Thanks - so pleased you're enjoying the channel. Sounds like you've got an awesome big project there! We'll deffinitely check out your channel. Good luck with it! :)

Sounds interesting but be sure to check out the acetal / epoxy bond strengths, as you'll be relying completely on this.

Is the point of the graphite in the resin lubricate the rope if the carbon begins to wear away?
It's actually to reduce friction on the already slippery Dyneema :)
Found you because of the cedar strip planking video, awesome boat! You might like our channel as well, we just began our project, a 70ft cedar mono!
