Cute baby enjoy them while they’re small they grow up so fast

Brilliant help as always. Just did this myself and fixed a leak.

Thanks for sharing this boat repair project. Your excitement for seals, o-rings, and saving effort and money is contagious, as usually.

Killer videos

Thanks!

Great content. Great patience and consideration

Great video. Anything you buy for a boat from a marineshop or from the official supplier is far overpriced. Same thing with anything you buy for horses. Having a boat and/or horses means you got money. Some forty years ago the standing rigging on my first boat needed to be replaced. I asked for a quote and was shocked. Went to the local hardware store and got the same materials for 10% of the quote.

I too mourn the loss of those bells, and all the history - and knowledge - held within them. I've always thought that sound is underrated and am glad to see that science is beginning to catch up with Ancient understanding of its medicinal and spiritual uses. Yes, its a little odd perhaps within a sailing video but thank you for having the courage to voice the thought. Those pauses for that thought are much needed, and never more so than now.

Thank you my friend, for the smiles at the end. The only possible improvement would be to repeat that performance on a unicycle. I have one handy if you ever make your way to Wick in Caithness, Scotland. [bought for my old enough to know better husband, never used past the first few attempts, oddly enough] As an afterthought - the work people once did is extraordinary - or, rather, their ability to do it is.

Yes mo videos😊

Merry Christmas! :)

I can vouch for the o ring splice kit it really is a great bit of kit. I used one many times while maintaining foundry injector machines (molten metal injecting) And Rams holding dies together at 100/200 ton pressures Worked a treat and much better than some of the kits with pre made rings that were never the best quality. Merry Christmas to you and the family. I hope you have a great time.

Thanks. I had no idea.

thanks as always Chris

Hi Chris, used the O ring kit as a temporary fix on Warrior and Challenger tanks. (REME) They really do last longer than expected. Great tips, thanks for posting.

I am so very glad to discover that you are back, although I see I have missed by some months! So much for KZbin notifications. I was also delighted [but not very surprised] to see you appreciating the benefits of nettles - I keep plenty of those and other such garden/hedgerow medicines to hand and swear by them. Yours is an honest mind and I know you will keep it that way - thank you, for being such a one. x

a couple of handy tips just in case... - try to find a new seal that has a stainless steel spring inside it. Especially for salt water use. -make sure your impeller doesn't run dry when you start up the engine after repairing this. Sometimes it helps closing the seacock and pouring some water in the strainer first. -After a while these seals eat into the shaft and you get a groove where the lip is. That's. when you buy a new shaft. -when the inside of the pump lid is marked by the impeller you can put the lid on backwards

lovely happy Christmas great new year it made me smile which is something I have missed over the last fifty years smiling is so very nice to do happy days to the family

Great video and gave me some things to check on my 2003 Volvo penta however it appears no blow-by on my injectors. The handle stay flat on top of the engine block. My symptoms are hard to start, once started idle is low even with 3/4 throttle set and white smoke from exhaust. Eventually revs come up and all ok however when put back to idle, white smoke and engine sounds like it is stalling. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thats awesome .

Dear Chris, I found the "old-school Britaly KZbin clips" back with a smile. Thank you for sharing these technical videos; they inspired me initially to subscribe to your channel and become a patron. I'm almost embarrassed to ask for more technical content, as it would mean something on your boat needs to break down first 😁Keep up the great work!

I think when you are British in France it is easy to get lost in translation. The French never were fluent in any foreign language. When I studied English in Holland there was an exchange with the Sorbonne. Funny thing was that we had to adress them in French as their English was complete gibberish to us. Furthermore I have a feeling that Brexit made the French make it even more difficult for anyone speaking English, on purpose. A Brit and a polish woman are travelling the canals as well. Good deeds sailing is their youtube channel. Might be good for you to follow their season 2, in order to see what you are in for. In episode 16 I saw sth that was absolutely hilarious.

Very nice, like ! ! !

The police thing was very funny 😄

Fathers generally don’t want their daughters to date until age of 30;or older and then only with supervision

I love the life lines with the netting around the deck,I only have double lines ,I may install netting would save losing things overboard, the sound of the bells are soothing

I have watched you channel with great interest from the start. I want to take my boat through the canals too. So I am very keen to see how you do it. I really appreciate the technical content too. May I ask what your Yacht draws, mine is 1.52 meters and I think that will be too deep for many canals.

Im a belgian myself and normally like 80% or so of dutch speakers understand the english language fairly well, so in terms of communication there should be no problem.

about that first railway bridge...on the bridge itself is an orange light. When that's on you are allowed to go under it assuming there's enough space. When the bridge is in operation it will turn off and you have to wait until you get the big green light on shore. VHF 68 until Budabrug in Brussels. Switch to 20 for Budabrug. They will take your information. It's also likely that canals/locks in the centre of France will be closed for winter. Best to plan ahead for that so you can pick a nice spot to wait it out.

Regarding your first bridge: when there is a white light over the red light(s) it means that you allowed to pass under the bridge when you safely fit and the red light(s) only appear to vessels which can’t pass under. When there is only one red light it says „bridge is preparing to open“ Two horizontal red lights says „passage forbidden“ and indicates that it will not be opened soon (here you need to call the bridgemaster and when successful they will change the light to one red) In contrast to the above: when there are two red lights on top of each other it says that the unit is permanently closed (i.e. for maintenance)

Next on the Britaly cooking show, The crisp sarnie.......

I thought about fitting one of these but went for refreshing the old set up so very keen to see what you think of it after the summer. Good fitting job mate, not easy.

It would be "Shar-luh-rwa"

Thatts Minnie Bannister , from the Goon shows 😅😅😅😅😅

I suspect the red light is only for vessels that need the bridges raised

:)

I feel like this is quietly the best sailing channel on YT, a genre that has become either hackneyed or mired in product placement. You guys never get above yourselves, have perhaps the best maintenance tutorials and, since you started on this canal journey, really good travelogues too. Well done for keeping it real.

😂 You passed where I live (Grimbergen). I walk and bike near the canal almost daily

You propably know it by now but you can’t rely on the info because it’s always something with “ het hellend vlak van Ronquiere “ .and the proper pronounciation of Charleroi is shallerwa 😂😂. Loved the vid.

You you have a fender boat for your boat? Looks like wit would be helpful.

Yes, cautiously and always be polite. You are in a foreign country and cannot speak or understand the language. The last thing you need is to be blazé about these bridges and end up fined for being a danger or hazard. Good call, you are in no rush. Buona fortuna 😊

You are a few months ahead of "The Wynns" who are also traversing the canals in Belgium whilst their new boat is having work done on it. Looking good Chris.

I do it your way Chris, safety first. It's not like you're in a big hurry.

thank you

Looks like a great family friendly adventure Chris

Once again finding your old videos saves me stuffing up and reinventing the wheel. I had started splicing dyneema for our stays to prevent excessive movement of the new solar panels which live on huge (very high) extensions to our original 2” stainless tube davits. I ran out of time and just grabbed some nylon rope and turnbuckles (which do work but it’s not the permanent solution we sought). Fast forward a few weeks and Linda found some loose ends in the middle lifeline, meaning it needs replacing. As we all know, the stainless wire lifelines in a boat most likely are the same age. The others are probably suspect too, whether we can see this or not. I personally remember the shock of a mast coming down while sailing my first boat as a young teenager. Never saw it coming. So, that means replacing all the lifelines and I’m so pleased to be watching your video tonight. That’s the great thing about nowhere to go while spare parts are delivered. Our high pressure injector fuel pump is dead. So many small jobs to be tackled while we can’t sail off. We love the rigging doctor too. Thanks very much for making this video Chris. Separate subject: Your travels along the canals give us a practical reason to not go with a multihull once our time is up with this mono. Those canals are surely too narrow to permit the beam of a normal 35 odd foot cat through.

Nice work.

Ottimo vidio...il prossimo mese lo faro' nel mío bavaria 35 👍grazie
