    A cute sailing couple
    with oceans under their keel
    use fenders they made
    which don't come with a bill.
    Clean used tires lashed round
    with beautiful knots;
    they'll last forever
    until the rope rots.
    Just 2 and a 2x4
    can fend you off a rough wall.
    And when dragged off the bow
    they make great drogues in a gail.

  • @tmack1
    @tmack1 Рік тому +1

    The pull cord extensions are a super idea... cool.
    Next , tiller.... you should have a tiller piece that attaches to the rudder arm, not a pivoting tiller piece on the rod that ties the rubbers together. Why??? Leverage. As is, you have to pull or push the tiller, and if the tiller is wet, your hands could slide down the tiller. By have a solid piece attached to either port or starboard rubber ( or one on each), you will get more leverage by being able to lean or put body weight on it. The tie rod will make the other rubber follow whatever you're doing to the one you are leaning on. As is, in heavy seas, you would wear yourself out too soon.

    Concerned the outboards will hit something putting stress on the wooden mounting system which may give way at the corners - consider putting metal plates alongside the wood, "sistering" is the carpentry term, I think, to strengthen the mounting system. Aluminum L shaped or T shaped flat metal the width of the wood, drill through the metal and wood, place large washers, then smaller washers then lock washers on both end of the bolts for flexibility. Bravo - donated rope & hand tools.

    20:33 one thing i would've added (at this stage) to the deck, would've been a linoleum sheet over it. Like the thicker type you use for hospital floors (they're a "hard traffic" type). Whenever you'd have work to do, you'd roll it on, and you could work without fear of stuff falling over AND because the linoleum is on top, it would've made a slightly better distribution of your weight on the boards. Would help you from going through if you jumped on one leg, but it would save your leg if you did. :) Source: i use two sheets of the stuff on top of wooden scaffolding. It makes cleaning and other affairs much easier.

  • @boosted4runner86
    @boosted4runner86 Рік тому +1

    Love the fact you have a dream and are following it. Best tip to give on this video is to just commit to some decent drill bits as the cheap bits will cost you more in the end. One decent set of Sutton bits ( not sure what brands are good over there) and also the trick is to slow the drill down. Even though they say high speed if you go to fast it just burns and makes the bit go blunt. One decent set of drill bits and a drill bit sharpening aid and you will be set. Also not sure if you doing a solar setup but those outboards with an electric moter instead of the gas engine would give you some free population

    Great Video! Cheap drill bits can be a pain, but if you keep the RPMs low and slow and use cutting/drilling fluid you can do almost anything with them- even more so if you learn to resharpen them ( the cheap one are easier to sharpen- not as hard- which generally also makes them not as brittle and less likely to snap if you sideload them accidentally).

    Hi Mark,
    It’s for me quite funny to see how you’re starting to love our country. Very good also that you’ve made so many friends in the Netherlands but that might be caused by the fact you’re easy to deal with. Weesp is completely at the other side of Amsterdam but a lot closer to Amsterdam as where you are now although the center of Amsterdam has almost in the same distance. I know the boat yard you’ve visited but to respect your privacy I won’t say the name of the boatyard. This boat yard offers you the possibility of doing all kind of repairs by your own so I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you that you can be there very soon. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love

    Your channel has bought me many pleasurable hours, I've followed you from the start, I'm a fellow sailor and have always enjoyed the Netherlands boating visits and will definitely be returning, I find your latest project far more interesting and entertaining than watching someone go aboard their fully finished boat, this is really going to show people that boating fun can be had on a modest budget, damn I might pop over from the UK sometime and give you a hand for a few days, I'm refitting mine and next job is to run the two new exhaust systems, by the way your Dad is a star for all his efforts and your Mum with box cushions and cleaning lol, keep it up, you have a fan here for sure!
