Snow on the water ahh Canada Tks for doing the whole winter thing for those of us lucky enough to have snuck away !!

Good to see you back at the boat renovation!:) looking forward ti watching your progress:)) Thank you

I just heard you referred to as a pirate. Is that because of your independence and the way you have lived as an independent nomad? BTW I was so excited about seeing Old Dog out in the open water but the definition can’t wait to watch the passion shift to Peri. I found you through magic carpet, fount sailor Barry through you. . . All of you have spurred me to find my place in the Great Lakes marine life.

Great episode Simon 🙏

Supporting comment. Bless you Simon.

Finding Simon

So nice to meet you, Simon, and have you join the first ever Creators' Booth at the Van Boat Show! Was a good time!

Been using Renogy equipment for 2 years now on an off-grip property. Nice setup and no issues so far.

The winter wonderland shots were amazing. Thanks for taking us along to the boat show so we don't have to do all the leg work. Just the fact and process of content creation is artistry in and of its self, the editing time alone is daunting let alone all the shot blocking and story boarding. Thanks for all you. do.

I love being cozy warm on the boat with the wood stove on while it's snowing

The ideas youre sharing are amazing! Were also working on a huge refit of our 65' power catamaran, and its so motivating to see others tackling similar projects. Keep up the great work!

Good to see Tangaroas crew getting a look in ... The man is a hell of a welder and Diesel engineer. BC Canada is home to Edison Motors and their Topsy hybrid electric logging truck and pick up conversions ..they also do offgrid solar generator towers ..

Good to meet you at the show Simon. Nothing like a back-to-work hangover to get the work weekend started. Haha.

Your level of need for hippy gimmicky electric motors and devices will be your downfall for long distance cruising. You will roll your eyes at this and ignore my outlook, but you will have a couple moments in your life where you will drop mad f bombs and understand. Still love your content tho.

Hello Simon. I totally agree too shiny, too expensive , I am a good old boat owner,a 1973 Islander 30. Up here in Powell River British Columbia.

Nej va för śøk 8gen

7:25 That was brutal! 😂

The heat shielding in your engine area (?) looks so neat and tidy!

Ta Mate. Love your style 😅 ☝️❤️✌️🌍🇦🇺

Excellent video as always.

Excited for some more regular "Simon fixes the boat" content!

leep up the good work! cheers

I'm about to take the same adventure. Buying a 34 foot project with good bones, and going to sail her around the world! Cheers!

Your mom is looking down , happy that you're back to being happy again ! Keep on keeping on Simon! Love you.

If you will have a simple diesel heating stove like the Dickinson Antarctic, you can plumb your engine fuel return line into a small tank (40 - 60 gal) that is 6" or so higher than the heater and you can gravity feed the diesel to the Dickinson heater and no fuel pump for the heater is necessary. We've had this system on our boat for over 40 years, and it is the best piece of kit we have - absolutely no maintenance, and that's saying something for a boat. You and your channel are getting more interesting for me.

Going full in on this vessel was definitely good for you Simon , your looking happy again, and doing a very good job

I'm loving this. Been hanging out for every episode for five years now, you're the only KZbin channel I follow. Awesome stuff.

This might be a dumb take but how about converting Old Dog to your canvas shop once you get Peri ship shape. You could strip it down a bit and you should have enough solar to run a the shop on the ship. Plus you cut out the overhead of the shop on land. This way you never have to mix business(canvas) with pleasure(Peri)

Really enjoying this!

lots of work ahead

Ptfe maybe not a good choice for diesel

I have a M/Y, this is the only sailing channel I watch. I’m enjoying this channel so much, that pump must of been made in Germany. Put that coin back, it’s for good luck.

Great progress ! Loving the refit series . She’ll be ready for the deep blue in no time at this rate 👌⛵️

Great stuff Simon 😎

Watching every episode! You’re killing it. Progress, but man its been cold, that heaters putting in work. I picked up my dad a usb heated vest for working in his garage and you can just swap battery banks but they last hours keeping your core warm if all that labour isnt.

Keep'em coming !

Also nice episode dual fuel filters almost setup like a fuel polishing system not really but same way I would set it up great work

Simon fuel line from engine called a banjo fitting

Real visible progress! Love it!

That fuel line fitting you showed which connect to the engine is called a BANJO FITTING Let them explain>>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKbFlYN6esqrm7c !

Great progress Simon. You've got lots accomplished and a video!!

This is so inspiring!! Were also in the middle of a massive rebuild on our catamaran, and its been so much fun seeing others share their process. Keep it up!

Great episode, Simon! I also really enjoyed the music.

I really like new videos

So so so so good to see u back working on a boat for you man, I'm absolutely frothing to watch you bring Parry back to life and set sail 🎉

That’s your good luck coin. Please drop it back in the tank for safe sails.

Awesome stuff bud. Ill see you on the high seas 🥳

Goodonyas!!!

Something to consider as you build your system: One time, I owned/lived on an old mahogany plank Grand Banks Trawler. Tanks were a mess when I bought her. Did what you are doing. I ended up putting in a day tank w/ fuel polishing system (pump, 2 raycors, filter) between main tank and small tank. You fill your day tank through the polisher. (polisher also has a Y valve so you can choose to retur clean fuel to main tank for cleaning that as well) Dirty fuel/filter issues will inevitably come up with a diesel and almost always at the worst time. There'll be no issues- then- first time it happens is under power in a seaway, heavy weather stirs the sludge up from the bottom and your engine dies with dirty filter. Having a small, easy to maintain/clean day tank with all its fuel having been polished = peace of mind and has the bonus of easily monitoring fuel consumption. I used a Gulf Coast filter.... proven/been used working boats for a looong time, works great and uses a filter you can get anywhere in the world for super cheap- a roll of toilet paper. (Gulf Coast Jr uses toilet paper, their larger filter uses a standard roll of paper towels. Can present a conundrum if you run low on paper. Do I wipe my ass or clean my fuel? Keep going! Loving your channel brother.

Loving these new videos and the process of you getting the boat ready for the blue water adventures!
