That was innovative and impressive! Apparently not a big deal for you but I would hire you!
Captain "macgyver" well done in a sticky situation. Best regards from Jarle
Thanks!
I've broken three forestays and one upper shroud at sea, but I've never pulled a chainplate! I'm impressed by your repair at sea. Good job skipper.

Great video, thanks for sharing!
Impressive repair on the fly!
Thnx Mark, watch our next movie to see how we solve the problem permanently in Suriname. Where everything is scarce, especially a nice piece of aluminium. The building material of our boat, Bolle
Happy sailing, really great
wat een avontuur op zee. hopelijk ook leuke avontuur in Suriname. be safe and enjoy
Just found this. Very nice. Keep up with English. Good voyaging!
Great video in English or Dutch! Nice repair on chainplate and thank you for sharing your adventures.
great video , thanks Phil
Great video! Just saw it and have subscribed! Thank you and happy sailing from Sierra Leone, West Africa
thank you so much for sharing a wonderful video
Yes, I enjoyed your video.....thanks for translating into English.
Nice video,good JOB .bravo.
Keep the English coming! Great filming, and great resolution.
Super Mooi - Looking forward to following your travels - Thumbs up and subbed. Fair Winds from Sint Maarten
nice fix!
We call them white caps here in Florida.When seas foam up on the top of waves.Cool adventure
there is an advantage to having a wooden masted boat where it goes through the deck and onto the keel. One advantage is it is almost self supporting, and it takes a lot of stress off the stays and chain plates. I have a 38 Seafarer Javelin. 1961 built in Amsterdam. Some of the hull is 2 inch thick glass. It weighs nearly 16000 lbs. Wood mast as mentioned to keel. Enormous wooden boom with low aspect sails to keep it flatter under heavy winds. A boat designed by Bill Tripp, and none of his boats have been known to have lost a rig. Good sailing, it's always the things we don't check, that fail us.
nice jerry rig on the chain plate... scary stuff
This video popped up in my recommended videos, instead of watching it, I first i went back watched all of your videos from the start today, in spite of the fact that I don't speak dutch!
Your sense of humor made them enjoyable and your boat is really nice, but I couldn't help thinking that if you added some English translations that your videos appeal would be broader and that your audience would grow, you seem to have come to the same conclusion.
I was subscriber 75 and now you have 91, if you stick with this format i think you will have 1000 before the end of May. Regards, Dave
Thnx Dave. We'll keep up the english versions and I'll even try to speak english while she's filming the next disaster :-) Thnx again for your reply
Just found you....you guys are great. Love your boat! She's a beauty. Subscribed and looking forward to your adventures. Peace & fair winds
We love our Bolle too ;-)
I was next to you guys a couple of times, in Grenada I think. My boat is a Van De Stadt 36 called White shadow. I crossed to Bonaire a 2 days ago. I'll say Hi if I see you again. Safe sailing.
Hello White shadow, yes we spotted you. We almost sailed together to Carriacou I think. Have a nice time at Bonaire and after that Curacao?
Adventures of an old Seadog hello mate I love your channel!! I wait very Friday for your videos!! Hope your well brother
Please keep on in English. Great repair!
He is good sailor .Have evrything o board.To rescue .Am suscribe and up
We have a lot on board, that's true. And we are very happy with it :-)
Thank you for this video :)
This popped up for me - probably because of the English title. Great stuff! Subscribed!
Thnx a lot. We'll soon post the video containing the repairs and our stay in Suriname. Should be interesting as well. It's an aluminium boat.
heerlijk om deze video te zien. beetje m'n eigen taaltje en het engels er door gemixed. zal jullie zeker blijven volgen. Veilige vaart!
Leuk om te horen.
Wow great video guys and awesome sailing!
good job...lyks' vir my alles is reg? what type of boat is she?
It is a converted lifeboat.
Nederlanders op zee! leuk!
Nice video. Groete
What, exactly, is a 'chainplate'?
Hi, They are steel plates, bolted to the hull. The wire stays are attached to them at one end, and to the mast at the other. The stays support the mast.
If the Chain plate had completely come away from the hull, the whole rig would have come down. Very serious, and they did very well to repair it on the fly.
No windvane in your boat? Why?
I wish we had one. A vane on a double ender with a tiller rudder (Colin Archer style) isn't easy. It's a 61 year old boat...
Still there are feasible solutions. look here: www.windpilot.com/n/wind/en/foto/heck/colinarch
(Download the free book in this site, it's very interesting.)
En dat gruns volkslied! 😁😁
yes please share your sailing adventures in English.
Hi , Just found your channel. Whats the make and model, Year of your boat? Thank you for sharing your adventure,- As I sit in a Cubical wishing I was there! Peace!!
chain plates need to be serviced / replaced , at regular intervals
I've never seen anyone cutting an undamaged, good looking chainplaint out of a metal (aluminium in my case but steel same same) boat, just to service / replace them. Nevertheless, you could be on to something and start a new trend.
I really like your boat. It is not clear to me what happened to your chainplate. Did it break in the middle? Are your repair straps connected to the remains of the plate? Are your plates internal? How old are they?
The chainplates (deck fittings) are made out of 3/4inch thick aluminium flatbar. They go trough the aluminium deck and are welded to a substructure under deck. Obviously they are welded to the deck as well, to make it watertight and pretty. One chainplate broke loose from its substructure and was just holding on to the allready cracking welds of the deck. Please watch ua-cam.com/video/oiuRZQh708Q/v-deo.html for the repairs and some more explanation.
Thank you for responding. It seems odd that the plate was not secured by a series of bolts below the deck.
Je hebt een Fijne stem in het Engels. Hoe lang heeft de oversteek geduurd?
Veel plezier in Suriname.
Hi JP! It took us 18 days to cross but to be honest, It could be done much quicker. Don't breake your chainplates is my advice
wow sailing is new trend?
Goa deur!
never use rolling sails furler etc
@bolle are you guys okay? It's been a while. Regards.
Yeah, still here. New video coming up soon. Cheers!
Hebben die mensen niets anders te doen dan een beetje op een bootje rond te hangen? Op die leeftijd ging ik gewoon naar mijn werk!
Hahahahaha, en dat vond je leuker? Mooi man.
Almost every video I have watched of people sailing ths oceans, there has been some sort of mishap. Somd even resulting in having to cut short their journey, or finding so port for repairs to needing rescued. Does not look like relaxing fun to me.
Jullie boot lijkt me een Lemsteraak, correct? Hebben jullie echt met een platbodem de grote plas overgestoken?
Nee, het is geen Lemsteraak. Toch net een wat andere bodem. Ben wel nieuwsgierig of er mensen zijn die met bijv. een Lemsteraak over zijn gestoken. Hier een link naar wat meer info over Bolle, de boot - bolle56.nl/de-boot/
Ben eens gaan kijken. dat lijkt me een lekkere boot die jullie hebben. Tot op het water!
It might be ok it it would play, no sound no picture
That is strange. I just checked it and it works fine. Let me know if there is still no sound and/or picture.
Still will not play
The Captain is not careful and works with metal tools around electrical circuits without
properly protecting them.
Metal aluminium shavings from drilling may cause future electrical/electronics failures.
Take care.
This repair was a desperate attempt to hold on to the main mast in the middle of the flippin' ocean. Who cares about interior works or wires at a moment like that?
leonaks1 your an idiot,
OMG, they're Dutch.
Thank God for ratchet straps.
Minus the music your vid's are great. I can mute it. Be safe.
Thank you Blugrasssful for your reply. What kind of music would you like to hear on our video's?
I like the natural sounds or ambient sounds. The mechanics involved. The technical parts that a wishful sailor like me like to hear and see. The wind ,water commentary from you folks that help create the pictures you take so well. Music is fine and I watch many sailing vid's and whish I could be there but sometimes the music's far to heavy for the whole 15 or 20 minutes. Don't worry about me. It's your adventure and I'm just happy to chill in the evening and watch them. Keep up the great work and be safe. Thanks.
We'll keep your comment in mind when we make the next video!
the music is fine. nicely done.
Another money begging sailing couple can you believe that?
Hahaha, you are funny 😂😂
