Good to see you back 👍

I do the same, plus i check on Google maps what the harbour looks like irl

nice!!!! regarding the use of the paper log in case you loose electronics : how would you know how many nm you did to know when to change heading?

How did they hold up in terms of corrosion?

Nice job; did the same with gasket set which was cheap at parts4engines

Thank you for sharing ! Your videos will help me to complete the job this weekend...

All my life since I was a little kid I've wanted to sail round the world solo, I'm x Commercial fisherman, x forces and Lorry Mechanic been watching you tubers for years about solo sailing, but just recently watched costs :( I am looking for a sail boat seen a few but not perfect for me, but been getting disheartened about the costs, but today watching this has brought me back up to being excited again, thank you so much for all of the info on this I have been subscribed to your channel for a while but only just come across this one, thanx once again, happy sailing and omg Emma is a treasure, Huge smiles here xx

It’s nice to see that Emma still has her ‘lovely laugh’, she was an engaging baby and now she’s a beautiful child. Emma’s all over the boat and is clearly delighted to be ‘on board’, thanks for sharing.

As a Blacksmith who only uses coal, as it should be, I appreciate the Engineers words of wisdom when it comes to the coal, it must coke really nice. I also used to refurbish steam locomotives so i can appreciate the boiler tending work.

A method to get the sail drive lined up to the housing is really long bolts. Then swap them out for the correct bolts as you line it up.

Very good. Do carry on.

You are a very unusual person. You have skill, knowledge, pertinent experience, guts, and true grit. Good job.

Fawk thats ugly.

What a shame that this channel has not uploaded for some time now. Chris has an amazing way of providing such helpful advice. Advice that I have used on my onwn boat. This channel could have absolutely blown up to hundreds of thousands of subs (still can) I wish Chris, Rosella and Emma all the very best and hope to see you back on the channel one day soon.

Hi Chris, love the vids, weve been binging for a week now! haha. Can you recommend a DIY boatyard in Magra?, which one did you guys use?

I wonder how people can preserve this kind of stuff

Thanks for this long video. Really great. Although I have done this job some years ago on my little 22 foot boat, it was nice to refresh it all up again. I will be removing one of my seacocks next week and fitting a tru-design composite. There is space enough. Take care

I love the redundancy measures whilst keeping it simple, well done mate

I have 3 separate tanks that all have seperate valves to open to switch tanks how would this set up work

I truly enjoy your thoroughness and frugality from California. I too now have boat but ive been watching your videos long before

in retrospect, how often did you find yourself moving the panels to follow the sun, vs. leaving them flat?

Very instructive, thank you very much.

Thanks for this, exactly what I was looking for this year, too many water bottles and too much plastic waste, this will save us plenty

👍👍👍

Great vid thanks!

Clever idea for a video, very useful.

Hello, thank you for the upload. It's cool to hear the telegraph outside of the tugboat. Was this vessel used in the retrieval at Dunkirk or was it deemed too important as its main duties required it to stay in port?

When ever sailing alway do what in your faver. High winds short sails. Use engine. You get there when you get there this what sailing all about play it safe at all times. And you cannot go wrong. You did well mate thank you for this video we need more videos like this sail safe

Thanks so much - really helpful.

Exactly what happened to me 2 days ago... was cleaning around big seacock of the sink, basically bumped it and it broke in half...BELOW valve 😢 was a helluva battle to stop the water and not sink the boat, as I was alone.... got it sorted tho. TIP!! Keep these cone shaped wooden thingies CLOSE to the seacocks... trying to find them almost cost me my boat... Great video..thanks 👍🏼 😂

The Anchor is always free!

Good job, great vid. Thanks.

You

What about breaking waves over the stern? 🤔

I learn something new everyday, thanks for the class! I wonder if you can do this for an on board freezer? I seen a guy that had like two lay down fridges and two freezers under the dining area seats , wow !

How much does it take to build this ship?

I think its fantastic keeping history alive and not forgetting good job to all involved

I use the same technique, but with some differences. I use a small piece of rope around the mast, specially if is windy or someone could make waves around me. This line should be tied to the harness loop, not to the carabiner and you will need to untied when you reach the spreaders. The other difference is, I have a rope loop about 2 foot long from the harness to the carabiner, in this way the carabiner is always close to your eyes and I can avoid snags it with my clothes or something else and accidentally open it. I implement this after found the screw gate loosen

Fantastisk god video tak jeg har selv en bandholm 27 dansk sejlbåd med samme system

Thank God that lovely old boat was saved ! Bloody good.

I want to moor my boat on lake Guerlédan in France. Could you please help me to find the mores costs for April 1st to October 31st and if the have space please. My boat is 5mtre, quicksilver 505.. Im not finding anything.. Can u pls help urgently

Thanks for this Chris, and the link to your homemade copper based anti-foul. It would be great to know more aboutthe galvanic isolater system you made too.

Hey Chris, great videos. Hope you get back to making more soon!

I have one at home a necessity i think, but never thought about having one on my sail boat, OMG Thank you for this, you could have saved my life. I will def pass this on xx

Thanks for this video gave me the courage to do it. Just climbed the 20meter mast of my sailboat safe and sound. Quite the workout tho

HI. Great video. Wanted to ask... did the CT1 for the rubber under the hull hold up and would you recommend it even today?

Thanks, will be using a few of these ideas

Like the rudder. The prop is not very well protected against trap lines. Enjoyed your video on going up the mast. Will do it
