Good to get that finished- the photo of her with new life lines was beautiful! She is coming along nicely (even considering you are working back and forth between both boats now.
Initially, I was thinking that this episode is just another boat work.. But, things got interesting when you tied the ropes... And even more interesting, when Sid tried to adjust your shorts and you push it back!! Hahahaha... Ty, you guys are awesome.. I was wondering about the length of the rope.. Then suddenly, you realized the mistake and said it out loud!! This is the reason I love you guys... Your concept - "Accept the mistakes and correct them immediately..." I really enjoyed this episode... Thank God, I did not skip watching this.... Loads of love from India...
Hi Ty!! Thank you for loving my comment... Once you start your travel, please do come to India.. My wife and I will cook the best Mom's food and serve you.. If ok, I can even come on board with you! I don't need a room, coz I can sleep even on floor..!! Sending loads of love from India...
Sid really rocked the 2-piece.... Didn't even recognize the clip till I read the title... I envy you all getting to do it all your way... Gotta figure out something people want to see so I can join the club...
So learning a lot from this family! I really don’t know where to begin be it solar, lithium, fixing a sunken boat….good lord they are so in tune! Video crew, you both are loved! Greetings from a flaming hot playa del Carmen…on vacation from white rock bc, Canada
A tip when bedding deck hardware which maybe you do and just did not show. When putting whatever compound in hand tighten and cleanup the squeeze out. The next day or so go back and tighten down fully there might be further squeeze out to be cleaned up using a knife or razor blade. This method ensures that there is more or whatever compound sealing the deck.
Tiegh (sp?) having spliced a few lines (from 1/4" to 8", though none Dynema though), one thing you can do (especially on lines that get 'worked (stretched and slacked (like life lines)) is put 'thimbles' (C shaped metal fittings that go inside the eye between the line and the splice. They are little finicky, and can cost, but they will keep eye-splices from fraying out. A second thing I learned is TWO SHARPIES (or buy one with a different color on each end) because there are more times that you will mark/remark/remark lines to splice/put eyes in them (as a matter of fact one team (USN) each guy had his own pair of colors (as part of our tool belts) in the sail loft (though it was all motor craft). When you go to whip the eyes (which also helps if you have put thimbles in the eyes) the stuff we used for whipping was thin 1/8"? waxxed nylon on a sail needle (along with a palm, if you need to drive the needle though the line). P.S. in nearly three years with her aboard a couple of different boats, how many times have you had Stella fall, slip, JUMP into the water! (lol) I had a friend with a lab who finally had to train her (when she got up in the morning and got out of the cabin (to go to her spot (she was trained for that too)) to find her people and get her life-jacket (she hated it but her people were strong and would NEVER let her out of the cabin till she did! (and a FRANTIC half hour in the North San Francisco bay trying to find a chocolate lab in the setting daylight) taught US!)
Good episode. Sometimes I watch on my cell phone and the volume seems lower in some videos. Appreciated of the CC,s so I can understand the tutorials from Ty. Another thing Ty when working w tools over the water. Take an umbrella open it and use the handle to hold it on the stanchion. Tool hopefully falls into the open upside down umbrella not into the drink. Lol Looking good. Carry on Crew.
You guys are great 😊 I have been watching you for some months now. I binge watched to get caught up so I have seen your journey with this boat from the start. I hope to meet you guys one day and maybe drink a beer or 3 or 4 and have the opportunity to say hi.
I love you guys and really admire your achievements and work ethic. That being said those splices in the lifelines should really be Brummell splices. Ain't called lifelines for nothing!
I agree the locked brummell is foolproof, but they did stitch. I see the dilemma of trying to brummell splice lifelines with a piece of hardware that is supposed to go inside the eye. This way is cleaner then brummell splicing eyes and lashings - who knows what is stronger...
Not great so far. We have skimmed bottom a few times and we got two bent blades. Also, it seems to be pulling the boat down instead of creating lift……. I uninstalled and the performance increased. I may have installed wrong and its possible the a degree or two is a make or break on success. Keep an eye out in upcoming videos as we are giving updates as we go along
Really enjoyable episode. I loved “ I just effed that up”. 😂. Also, “I have a cramp… can tell where… it’s my left leg.” Good stuff, great family, thanks for sharing the expertise on tying lines. ( See what I did there?) 😉
Interesting video. A few questions and xomments if i may: Why aren't you drilling the holes larger, then filling with epoxy and then drill to correct size? The whipping will look good but it will not have the full strength needed for a safety line.check regs. It looks like you don't need to add 11/2 ". Live and learn 😉
Good question, we had already drilled and filled when we painted the boat last Fall. Even though we don’t race (needing to qualify with the regs) we still have proper tension/deflection.
hey! do you know who makes the hardware you used? I was just looking at some options for this today and didn’t really see what you used which is what I was looking for.
Why not use a Brummel splice on each end and make luggage loops on both ends. You can use the original SS loop end in the turnbuckles. The luggage strap ends to make it easy to remove and doubles up the line where it makes the sharp turn. One end may need a Brummel lock-splice with one side fixed if you have to tread through a stanchion. No need to stitch the splices. I don't trust the aluminum to stainless steel threaded studs ends. I've done all my lifelines that way and I'm putting my family's life on them.
Thanks for watching and Good question. Both splices are sufficient especially considering the size of line. I don’t care for the look of the Brummel personally and 60:1 long bury maintains the line’s 7700lb working load adequately. The stitching is a nice touch visually and we just need to prevent any shift while the line isn’t under load. As far as the alum/stainless goes, generally I’m not a fan either but the fitting is pressed an all of the threads are stainless on stainless and C.S. Johnson makes quatlity hardware and I trust them.Th
Every time I see tools being used outboard I always think if it was me it would wind up in the drink. Have you acquired a cat crew member or is that just a visitor?
I recommend using a Brummel lock splice instead of the standard splices you are using. With the light tension you have on this splice, it could release as Dyneema is rather slippery. It is a little more complicated but could save your live! ua-cam.com/video/4WW7Qvg3VjI/v-deo.htmlsi=M-jxiaNTtje9trp7
Sorry to add a critical comment but I really enjoy your videos and hate to miss anything. The volume level is to low for me to hear well. I'm listening on an ipad and ear buds in a nearly silent room and I can barely make most words out when I cup my ears. I have the volume turned up to max. I
Seems you didn’t follow their entire journey, but jumped in recently? They built their business from scratch and sold it to purchase the first boat (which was storm damaged) to rebuild (no prior boat experience). When almost complete, they had an opportunity to buy another sunken boat to redo. It was always their plan to sell one boat, and they decided to keep the larger one. Now as supply chain issues allow, they are working on both boats, but once all projects are done on their first boat, they will sell it to finance finishing the larger boat they decided to keep. It’s like redoing a house and selling it; if you have the skill set, why not keep the larger boat. The time and money it takes to produce the content is not insignificant and of course that is where the support from viewers is crucial if their channel is to survive. I like this channel because they earned their place on UA-cam by 20+ years of building, then successfully running construction and then catering companies, which now informs their ability to take this new direction in life. They now have to figure out how to keep going forward with their boat project, make a living on the water, and enjoy the (hopefully travel and adventure they have worked so hard for) and I will be watching every episode so see how it all turns out, and yes, I do contribute to Patreon so I can continue to watch their story😎
I love when you show you are real people!!!

As soon as he set the Allen key on the deck, my inner carpenter was screaming that the tool was going overboard.
☑️👍 Ditto!
You have to learn to embrace the fear 🤣
So learning a lot from this family! I really don’t know where to begin be it solar, lithium, fixing a sunken boat….good lord they are so in tune!
Video crew, you both are loved!
Greetings from a flaming hot playa del Carmen…on vacation from white rock bc, Canada
Thanks Tom! Don’t forget your sunscreen!
I work with sikka all the time! Magic cleaning whipes are your best friend!! They clean off the sikka really nicely!
Good tip!
At 24:45 "I cut the darned thing twice and it's still too short." lol Been there, done that, got & wore out the tee shirt.

Yes we do, sorry i didn’t mention it

Hey! The whole video! Awesome! I was on the edge of my seat waiting!
From now on, each job must have a beer rating!!!
Always enjoy the videos of all the work you do.
Great lifeline video!!!
Syd is the best!
☑️👍 Love the Stella update!

I hope to meet you guys one day and maybe drink a beer or 3 or 4 and have the opportunity to say hi.
Ty for another fun video.
Did you consider using an "eye" (metal thimble) so that you had metal to metal contact and no sharp turns and edges to cause abrasion on the line?
No, the contact points are very smooth.
I love you guys and really admire your achievements and work ethic. That being said those splices in the lifelines should really be Brummell splices. Ain't called lifelines for nothing!

Another great video.
I noticed you have a hydra-sheild on the tender. How is that going for you? Are you happy with it?

Shim tape, just have a couple of beers and cut the can and use the body as shims 😊
LOL!
Just a tip on the gloves not sure how much the "sailing" gloves are but might want to looking into cycling gloves as well just to compare
Interesting video.

Good work as always Ty and crew. Ty, what was the adjustable locking hardware called and where did you get it?
It is by C.S Johnson and we purchased them from Defender marine
hey! do you know who makes the hardware you used? I was just looking at some options for this today and didn’t really see what you used which is what I was looking for.
CS Johnson makes them and we got them at Defender Marine
Great, I’ll take a look!
Did you guys get the dynama locally or did you buy it from China? Between lifelines halyards and other lines that’s a lot of rope!
For this video we used Amsteel Blue made right here in ‘Merica! We will be sourcing future UHMPE from @premiumropes in Europe
That is why I only start drinking after lunch

He was just a visitor! He is an inside at night outside during the day cat and he loves to be the center of attention!

Please check your audio levels before you post. Thanks
Why did you post this video twice.
More to the point, why was it posted, then a few hours later made private!
It was a mishap. Lol it was supposed to be for their patron channel.
You tube glitch, it didn’t upload the entire video and then it posted it early! We had to re upload the entire thing again!
Little painful to watch.
1. Always use TefGel on stainless screws.
2. Yes, you add a Brummel Splices on both ends.
Same videos last time
Similar content but finishing up with lifeline project and we see the finished boat pix!
Why, in God’s name, is anyone still using slotted screws? Especially when you need to apply that much force.
If you have two catamarans and no mooring costs, why are you begging on Patron?
you have done this comment before go somewhere else dont be so rude
