@@patrickjames9165 Hi Patrick, hope you are well. I'm not entirely sure what a true sailing channel is but I make no claim to be one. I'm just a person who builds a few things on water, converted a few boats and happens to do a bit of sailing and I make no claim to be an expert on any of the above. I do happen to watch a few channels and agree that Parlay is a good one :-)
I dont think ill ever be in a position to own a boat, let alone sail one but ive bloody loved watching yours and your friends journeys that for myself have offered a unique perspective into the ownership, maintenance and love that comes with owning a boat.. Always awesome content. Thanks man. I hope this comment finds you and you loved ones well, safe and happy. All the best and a happy and prosperous new year to all at Sailing Parlay revival. RD
@@MagicJohnston777 you don't need experience just turn up at a sailing club show willing and you will sail. Folks are always looking for crew on race day also most club members would only be too happy for you to day sail with them to learn. Well in my club anyway
We tried to build a much as we can on water, lots of nature, interesting living and the other upside is... it's cheap, so you never know if you balance your ins and outs financially you may find that you can afford that boat. But we chose a boat over a house but everybody is different and I totally understand your views on spending your entire life fixing things, I totally get it ;-)
Hey there love your channel! A few tips from a hardened glassfiber guy, for future use for you or anyone else on similar endeavor : Use compressed air to get the laminate to release from the mold, even if you use nylon or wooden wedges, you remove mass (coating) from the mold. Even the most used-poorly waxed, beat up molds, release the laminate with a 5mm drill through the laminate (fixable with filler and a drop of coat) into - but nu through - the mold and compressed air. Often you can get the laminate to release by blowing from the side, and holding the released sides down with your hand. Alter-Alternatively you can use HP water to remove the laminat from the mold, since you are already using water soluble PVA that is a small barrier on top of the wax that you apply to the mold. If you have to remove something that isn't hardened like in your vid, you can use simple guitar strings, high tension fishing line, piano strings, steel wire - or even go to an auto glass repair, and buy the string they use to cut out windshields from cars you can probably cut off the laminated nonskid even if the epoxy is hardened. What went wrong? Well my first thought would be wrong curing agent. Second, curing agent wasn't used. But since it seemed like you had "some" hardening going on, i would suspect temperature fluctuations or massive humidity - Marine epoxies are normally not that squeamish about such nonsense though.... Marine epoxy have no solvents, so nothing could evaporate from it. I've had totalboat resin and hardener in open jars/cans for weeks without issues.
I know this is done already but when using a notched trowel always orient adhesive in parallel straight lines, no perpendicular or curved trowel grooves. This allows you to completely compress the adhesive and not trap any air. Results in better and more complete bond, flatter surface.
I'm a builder and over the years had to explain exactly that to lots of guys. One time, a project manager came and asked me to have a look at one of the houses that was near completion. We walked in and every mirror in every bathroom and toilet was smashed on the ground. We looked around and when he asked what I thought had happened, I told him "whomever installed the mirrors probably applied them in circles or something like that, so that air gets trapped in side and when the glue cures, it might have shrinkage so the air pressure builds up looking for a place to escape.
For trying to carefully remove the nonskid, a trick I learned from removing emblems off of cars might work, a bit of braided fishing line can be used to "saw" the adhesive between the two panels.
Love the discipline you guys displayed when the epoxy didn't harden. It would have been so easy to get overly pissed off and just try to quickly tear that non-skid panel off in order to get the mistake behind you, which would have inevitably meant ripping the panel. Patience was absolutely your virtue in that situation.
Two things I admire about you folks. First, your attention to detail, strength and SAFETY. Second your ability to go barefoot in all situations. I would go stark raving mad going bare footed when and where you folks do!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Colin and crew including the pups ! We all took a vote and would like to see more of your girlfriend in the videos ;>)
Epoxy hardener reacts with humidity and organic material in the air. Leaving it open over night at the border to rain forest jungle could certainly have been the reason.
Years ago while my wife and I were younger we went on ski trips every year. We went to different countries and skied multiple mountain ranges. We always took time off to explorer the area and learn some of what was there. To this day I can still put my mind onto one particular slope, get goosebumps every time. You are 100% right, I never regret those places and the things we saw, and the things we did. Health reasons have ended those trips. There is still more to do but now we go to the sea, more countries, and so much more to see. No regrets!!!
I grew up on Lake Erie. Just 2 miles from it . It was a big part of life . Always had boats . Became disabled 10 years ago. God do I miss the water . Wish we were able to afford a boat big enough I could go on. Small boats kill me . I watch the show and often smell the water and memories flood back . Thanks for keeping some of it alive for me .
Learnt so much watching your show Colin, especially working with epoxy, fibre glass, resins etc... Thanks bro. Nice to see the new love in your life. Love that dog too and your team.
Its the Colin 450!! That sonar is killer. You'll be stoked with that. Ive watched guys use em to search for missing people to help law enforcement. Awesome tech stuff.
All the Guys comments on this video are fabulous, supportive, and inspiring, guys really love hardware, repairs, and toys! You’ve got quite the following now Colin, hindsight is a wonderful thing, Australia and N.z have been under a lot of duress.. You have a stronger boat, larger audience for all the sacrifices of not getting back to Nz sooner.. bittersweet I’m sure..
Colin takes a bit longer to do things the correct way but the quality of the installation of these scoop extensions are incredible. Better then factory installed quite frankly and look so professional my friend. Cheers to you and the Parlay Team, looking good and every day getting closer to having her back in the water.
I’m wanting to buy a cat or trimaran but I’m 69 and slightly inhibited! I seriously want to experience everything including the mechanical preparations and then being totally gratified with learning to sail with the best !
Being on a cat, owning a cat, sailing a cat singlehanded and being close by (St.Martin right now) its a pleasure to see you guys finishing your boat. For sure, its more fun to work, if you have buddys around you. Good luck to all of you. And thanks for sharing experience.
I think I heard a wise man once say that, "You will learn far more from your failures in life than your successes". Well done as always Colin and crew. Thank you for taking us along for the whole journey, not just the successes. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
Professional sugar scoops. The 3D transponders are interesting tech - usually a super-yacht thing but more interesting to see on a small draft vessel like parlay.
Saw the Instagram post that you've already splashed her...can't wait to see the video of her going in the water and you beeming with pride from a job well done!🍺🍺
How frustrating to go through all that detailed work and not have it cure. Your demeaner is admirable and you guys are to be commended . I enjoy watching the process... thanks
And now everyone knows what not to do which is one of the reasons I love this channel. Fuck ups will happen we all learn and move forward. Thanks for the education, entertainment, and for documenting all the fuckups along the way!!!!
My dream for years has been to sail the world, return home for work season than back to sailing. But living in South western PA, not much opportunities to learn to sail or rebuild a sail boat. So a dream it will stay while I enjoy watching you live yours
That non-cured epoxy clean-up is a rough job. I've mixed it with too little harder, and it's so hard to get off. I used vinager and hours of elbow grease. Glad to see the job got done in the end.
Looking great! Can’t wait to see you guys get back in the water. I found this Channel like a mouth ago and it been pretty much all I have watched, a little sad I’m caught up because now I have to wait for everything…
I didn’t realice how big the scoops are until you guys put all the water jugs and batteries on top. Great. I am really looking forward to see them in action while sailing. To my knowledge you have changed the hydrodynamics of you now 48’ Cat, in a good way😀
S*** happens! You did get lucky really, I would say your ahead of the curve getting the non skid up in one piece. As always it's a learning experience watching Parlay. Stay happy and safe everything else is a gift. Thanks
My dad always told me that if you don't make any mistakes it means you're not doing anything. By that standard there are days when I'm exceedingly busy. :D
We all have problems..... Finding a solution is the hard part.... I do believe that is one of your Strong points... I wish a Great 2022 for you all :-))))
Love what your doing …simple tip. To cut behind two delicate surfaces use heavy fishing line or on your case a length of wire with cheese cutting handles and see saw it across it’s how car body shops remove emblems from paint work.
Another episode in the books, another step closer to getting back on the water! Thank you for sharing, this channel has always been a bright spot each week when sunday comes around!
Hope you, your Friends, and Family all had a wonderful Christmas. The boat is looking very good, sounds like she's about ready to splash soon. Can't wait for more actual SAILING videos! 🙂
Colin & team, love the transoms, all the way through from design, build and even so far as the non- skid process. It seemed just a few simple minutes on YT. However the lessons and teaching you did for all is huge, thank you. Keep doing what you doing and having fun doing it.
My chemical background is not coatings but I am pretty sure that leaving the harder out allowed some components to evaporate. We have B n G"s forward facing sonar on Elysium and we love it on our end.
Hardener will absorb moisture from the air and that will mess up the mixture. I've had parts go thru a 250 degree oven and not cure up because no one noticed the hardener had been left out for too long.
This is the reason why it didn't go off even the smallest drop of water in a bottle of hardener will ruin it alway test first saves time and money if that was gelcoat you would be cleaning it off with acetone and as you noticed if theres scratches on the mold wax it up more it will reduce hight of the non skid pattern and will hide the scratches
I know people want or like the original look, I in the other hand have seen this things made out of stainless tubing and they look great, easy to bolt on or off and they work just as well, well actually to me they work even better, no messing with boats hull, they are light, strong, all they need its a good non skid platform and done. 👌👌👌👌😏😏😏😏
When I screw something up and get to enjoy a second chance to redeem myself I always say, 'Let's try this again without the oops.' We all get to enjoy the shit happens moments, it's how we react that is important, either we learn or we repeat, thanks for showing us what happens with leaving the hardener out, I will learn from your oops moment. Peace.
I appreciate your channel so much, because of being a hands on person myself. I have always said even if I had millions in the bank, I would still be trying to do things myself. I hope one day to have my own boat and be traveling the world just like your doing. Although I am not as young as you, but I don't want to let that stop me.
Wow, that would be scary cutting a (2) hole that big in the hull for the sonar. I think I would look at making a bracket to hold the transducer to test before I cut those holes.
Distant Shores gave you guys a nice plug! Hardener mixing with lots of air & humidity before use will definitely kill it. As lessons go, this one wasn't too bad. Keep at it. Love the echo pilot! That will definitely be a very useful tool. I would invest in a few extra screens to keep up with the new toys....
The Sugar scoops are looking awesome and will no doubt increase the sailing characteristics of your boat also. Those Forward looking sonars look great and it is certain that the company has confidence in not only in their product but your channel and yourself since they are big bucks. There is only one drawback of them as another great engineer said "You canne change the laws of physics" their range decreases in shallower water, in other words when you need it most. Having said that they will definitely increase your safety.
Was thinking about your epoxy issue as well - we had a similar thing happen wih our two pack polyurethane paint. The comp b / hardener tin got so smashed up the lid didn’t seal properly, so our final coat on the aft port deck never cured. Spoke to the manufacturer and they advised the lack of seal meant something had flashed off, and so the remaining comp b was trash. In the end we let it dry for two days (Spanish summer heat helped) and then overcoated with a comp b rich mixture... that interacted with some of the original paint and it worked.
I think the forward looking sonar is used more on superyachts. But super interesting to be seen on a cat! With the two spaced hulls will give you some good separation and keep those keels from bommie scratches! Also....the dad in me living vicariously through you wanted to see the new squeeze! Keep up the great work bro!!!
i like the random egg/grocery delivery in the time lapse :-)

Great explanation/discussion. What is HP water? Hewlett Packard water? Hydrogen Peroxide water?
@@silasmarner7586 just guessing....High Pressure water
@@silasmarner7586 Oh sorry, HP in maritime maintenance is usually understood to be High Pressure water, and UHP Ultra High Pressure.
I know this is done already but when using a notched trowel always orient adhesive in parallel straight lines, no perpendicular or curved trowel grooves. This allows you to completely compress the adhesive and not trap any air. Results in better and more complete bond, flatter surface.
That sounds reasonable but I won't believe it until it's tested by Project Farm. 😋
@@djmips If you are interested. Landberg Tile TV and a few other channels have allready shown this by using an transparant glass tile.
I'm a builder and over the years had to explain exactly that to lots of guys.
One time, a project manager came and asked me to have a look at one of the houses that was near completion. We walked in and every mirror in every bathroom and toilet was smashed on the ground.

Forward looking sonar? That’s too cool!
Keep up the great work
Colin, you kept that relationship on the down low..... And I can understand that. 😉
A private life is a happy life!
Jamie let the cat out of the bag months ago when he said Colin was in love

We are always learning. One for the books
Having been on a ship that hit a bommie in the Java sea in the 70,s I would have loved to have the 3d sonar onboard.

Great job Colin. You’ll be splashing soon with a boat that is more than seaworthy.
Looking good guys can't wait till the voyage begins
