Chop It, Grind It, Butyl It [Adventure

[@mykinchesapeek]

11:45 Thought that dinghy was going to get away from you! Thanks, guys, always nice to see real sailors dealing with real struggles on a real budget.

[@webbrowne2291]

Great job on the Traveller, I have seen all types and this is the best job.

[@GB36CL]

Bless you when you tripped. Hope your ok. All the best to you both.

[@KennethRayable]

Ty, you knocked the haircut out of the park. Well done.

[@rickczainski9856]

Too often I forget to hit the like on your videos. You guys are doing great, jeep them coming. Hillary, watch your step! LOL

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Thanks and cheers!

[@blugrasssful]

And he never let go of his side of the boat. Cool man in a moment of uncertainty.

[@captainbob406]

oooh Hillary.... That must have hurt. Hopefully, your shin didn't take too much of a hit. You both are doing great. Makara is really coming along. Good job!

[@darrylnelson6264]

Boy! Hillary when you fell carrying half a boat I screamed! I'm wearing headsets so that only means the scream was louder than I thought it was. Geez. Be careful.

[@beverlyvo728]

Good job on Hillary's haircut Ty! Back in the 70's my hubby cut my hair too. He hasn't done that for a long time now😎. Always enjoy your videos. We live in WA, on the other side of the Cascades. Take care.

[@karitane]

Thanks guys. I stayed interested because the whole vlog covered different subjects. Nice one.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good vid ya'll, looking good so far, it does look like there is a lot of water damage where the traveler bolts were coming through.

[@inapinch2518]

Use the router left to right not right to left. You'll have better control that way. Unless you're in the southern hemisphere ;)

[@yeelinli1]

A great Coiffure you look beautiful Hilary ,and the boat's not looking bad also !A very Happy New Year to you Both , Fair Winds

[@seailive]

hey guys Just a small suggestion , I noticed that you didn't renew the stainless bolts on the traveler. Stainless gets brittle after 20 years, and those bolts looked they had already started to deteriorate. Just thought you would have replaced them. cheers

[@claramorton9442]

Please use a dust mask when sanding, cutting etc. My uncle refurbished a canal boat in the UK and failed to use a mask. Cancer resulted from the fine particles. He then lost his sight due to Radiotherapy, which in turn meant that the boat had to go and he could no longer sketch. And then in time he lost the battle with cancer. A little discomfort from a mask is minimal in comparison.

[@oaklandmax]

I’m a huge fan of butyl tape for deck hardware fasteners. I’ve had to re-bed a couple of stanchions and did it very similarly to how you did with countersinking and wrapping the fasteners. The shorter haircut is very flattering! Good job Ty!

[@Kit2Canada]

Yes, nicely done. I used thread-sealing tape/PTFE around the threads with dollop of Sikaflex. Nice to see an alternative! Thanks!

[@dianeswift]

Nice hair, great to see your big new boat coming together!

[@artsmith103]

Looks like plenty of amps are getting from the battery bank to the windlass :-)

[@onepolarman]

I am impress with the hair cut, well done.

[@GeorgeGraves]

The new hair looks great! Short fits you.

[@chasemixon6327]

am I the only one who said ouch! when you slipped at the end?

[@bryonensminger7462]

Ok that is official the strangest dingy I've ever seen you guys can break it down and have your own dingy race with just the 2 out you hahaha 😂😂😂🤣

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Haha, we love it!!! The back half can be easily paddled, the front half doesn't work so well on it's own

[@kunstmol]

we didn't really get to see the haircut finished. fashion shoot!

[@BillTiemann]

Ooo, hope you didn't hurt yourself in that little stumble 😥

[@SailSmileReDo]

Hope Hillary's OK. Take care

[@thall0790]

Great Hair cut!

[@MrRJBooth]

Interesting vlog guys . Cool hair cut for a 1st attempt ,lol. Many fanx for sharing your time with us fair winds an swallowing chicks :-D

[@danieloliver20]

Butyl tape, I love it! Btw, I used a bench, disc sander to adjust the thickness of my main sail slugs, p.i.a. but worked. I've gotta see the table saw jig set up you used... happy New Year!

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

ooh Hillary that had to hurt!

[@huber0105]

I hope you didn’t get hurt when you fell down, Hillary. Also, did you plan the timing of the lyrics in the background song? If you did... well played. If not, go back and watch where you fell... and listen to the song lyrics right afterward. :-)

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Good catch, I figured it was the perfect song to use when I heard it ;)

[@solarsail56]

Thanks for another great video. I appreciate the step by step with Butyl tape. I’ve been playing around with it for years, just using the doughnuts and have been getting mixed results. I have not thought to put a collar around the head of the screw. That trip had to hurt - and I didn’t hear any sailor language. Can you tell me the model of your dinghy? I watched you build the last one and am intrigued.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

It was some slippery ground, but luckily the dinghy helped to break the fall.. This dinghy is the Danny Green Chameleon, which is what we had originally hoped to build but couldn't get access to the plans.

[@ChrisMcEvoy]

Great video as usual :)

[@MrRourk]

Hope she is okay? That was bad. Good haircut.

[@ahbushnell1]

your hair looks good.

[@justlooking2222]

Ouch ! great video, Happy New Year !

[@misswildlife7905]

Any bites on your other boat?

[@mikenewzealand4525]

Have you sold the other one yet?

[@simonhantler8062]

surely the boats designed for anchor chain up front. do you have to go below and flake chain each time you leave anchoarge? that would piss me off.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Yes, need to flake everytime. A bit of a pain, but we think if balances the boat much better, less chance of the bow digging in. Unfortunately, boat builders/designers don't generally take into account how a boat will be used/loaded, especially when outfitted for more rugged cruising. Typically, boats wouldn't be expected to carry an all-chain rode - 100 feet of chain and rope rode is probably standard, but adding an extra 200 ft of 3/8 chain is a lot of extra weight.

Well you have nice weather / that's a good thing , stay warm

[@edwinwilson629]

Hi guys was wondering if you had a link to the plans of your dinghy...thanks

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

This one is slightly different than one the we built, but is the one we WANTED to build but couldn't get plans for. It's the Danny Green Chameleon - he will send them by snail mail only.

[@billkaroly]

Ouch!

[@ahbushnell1]

So 3.5 mm not 3.5 mils flange. :)

[@georgelambertson300]

Hillary your brave letting Ty practice on your head of hair surprisingly your haircut lo oks fantastic...Ty however looks like the South end of a Mule Heading North...LOL Txs for sharing...

[@misswildlife7905]

Hope you're friends with Ty to leave that type of remark.

I was saying that her hair cut looks great and joking with Ty Miss Wildlife maybe you need a Haircut...

[@waynemazan7485]

eye protection please....

We're getting better at this, but still not perfect!

[@redroofretriever]

He won't clean a fish, but he'll cut his wifes hair... hmmmm. Whats the deal man?

[@mbranniff875]

I see you two people hunched over a hatch cover using a router with no eye protection. Eye damage is oft times irreversible. Eye protection please.

[@gatoryak7332]

YES! EYE PROTECTION! Also hearing protection. You are crazy if you ignore this advice.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

We are trying to get better at this!

[@mbranniff875]

I mean only the best for you two nice people. I had an unprotected eye injury and it is a scary thing. You can get better or you may not, as it may be. Its not a matter of always getting better; many times its an irreversible injury. Eye protection can save you from catastrophe. Best Regards.
