And it’s been playin in order all day 🔥🔥🔥☄️🥇

[@divekatdreaming]

Hi! I just watched Colin's episode (Parlay Revival, but you probably know that) where he had to do some repairs at the top of his mast. If I had a boat.. (I don't) and I had the mast on the ground... I would add footholds to the top and a place to clip my harness into, so I could stand up at the top of the mast above where the halyard would allow, so I could see and work on the stuff at the top. Just a random thought, because everyone seems to have to replace hard to reach things that, they can't see, at the top of the mast at some point.

[@4GH440]

Great suggestions Divekat, I was just about to make a seperate post with same suggestion. I did this on my old cats and it makes a world of difference when working at top of mast. You do need a belt to hold you in close to the mast but gee it makes such a difference.

[@SailingDauntless]

Ha! Great suggestion! I actually did that on this mast. 2 folding foot pegs and two grab handles. I can’t wait to use them.

[@andersonautomotive]

Biggest new generation anchor that fits on the boat is always the correct answer.

[@dougpatterson4593]

It was really nice meeting you guys at Sharky's! I put a 100 lb Ultra Marine Anchor on my 47ft cat. Really like the way it sets and holds. You are welcome to come barrow it to see how it might fit in the L50.

[@freedomrider30]

Been loving this rebuild ever since the first scoop of sand came out! Big progress!! A+ guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@rickhudson6890]

Ty, your whole "What had happened wuz" story's are priceless!

[@Race353]

Yacht Zits ...... so much fun.

[@petergibbons9168]

We have a 55kg (121 lbs) Rocna on our 52 foot Cat (27 tonne) and it has been flawless thus far.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, I’m with you I put the biggest anchor I can get on the yacht , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

[@MikeJohnson-bu4gl]

All you need is a mule and we could plow the spring garden....would love to have had one of those 50 years ago!!!

[@tomwood6989]

I so love your opening. Keep up the great work and you will have smooth sailing soon.

[@alimitchell5346]

Interesting as always 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@carlnewton1126]

You guys do a fantastic job, can you give us some more info on your lightning protection system ie, what you have on the mast, how it works, how you protect your electrical system, how you ground the lightning protection system etc 👍👍👍

[@SailingDauntless]

Coming soon!

[@allan80supra]

Would have used some Deutsch HD30 bulkhead connectors to bring your wires out of the mast to make repairs/upgrades easier in future

[@jamieblack9349]

I hope that with all this amazing working and the hard work you all have put into the quality of your work. You keep the same even with the sails. I’m hoping you aren’t following every other KZbin channel.

[@tomazosenar5277]

It is nice to see progress. Have a Nice dat 😁

[@davidfinley14]

Anchor, bigger is always better!!

[@rickhudson6890]

Setbacks are temporary. You'll get her ship shape and bristol fashion in no time!

[@jimlofts5433]

28.7k - hope it goes 30k plus after the show - stay safe and enjoy

[@SailingDauntless]

You and me both!

[@willumverberne9663]

I would get a bigger one of the original anchor

[@Equine_moon]

Hi Ty, those flood lights look exactly like some I have, if they are the same, they aren’t very good. Have you tested the light pattern? If not, please do before you put the mast on! You might regret them! Love your videos!!!

[@neilwilson584]

Another great video and very intrigued for next with the lightening deterrent system! We have a L50 arriving in June, (Doug is our sales manager), we are from Castle Rock Colorado and are always interested in what's next for the Dauntless Crew. We'll be at MIBS from Thursday to Sunday and would love to meet in person.

[@SailingDauntless]

Congratulations! We will be there and would love to meet you! Keep an eye out on social media for our location updates

[@rickhudson6890]

I vote the 125 for New D!

[@basanke]

there should not be tape around vhf cable connection. water gets under anyway and stays longer, rain des not wash, the contact point is wet longer. unless it is not heat shrink with glue, the rest is only worse

[@SailingDauntless]

We added glue lines heat shrink to the VHF connector

[@MrJerobona]

I guess size matters! 🤣 (anchor of course lol)

[@matthewsellers82]

Old Indian saying "Him strong like bull, hung like chicken"

[@Mechone11]

Z spar is in France..polyester? or vinyl ester ?? Most top manufacturers use Vinyl ester , polyester is cheap, epoxy as you know is the best

[@tomatobrush3283]

Surely at some point I would think anchor weight and size becomes too big when it is not required and is only adding unnecessary weight.

[@mvcaroline]

It is actually called pre-bend

[@kimmacdonald8873]

125

[@WeZoN_nor]

i wonder what will happen once you get to a point of "done". Will you be able to enjoy it, or will you buy another fixer upper ? xD

[@SailingDauntless]

No more boats!

[@Capterikhansen]

@@SailingDauntless 😂 you say that now.

[@stephen2346]

Where's Stella

[@paratyshow]

👍☑🏝good question, I miss seeing her in the videos too.

[@btrotta]

You can see her briefly at 16:08 walking under the bows as they look at the blister repairs.

[@tikiviktor]

Why does the mast need a bend and rake

[@btrotta]

Pre-bend helps with the shape of the sails. Pre-bend, combined with a sail cut to use that pre-bend, allows you to flatten the shape of the main to reduce power in higher winds by increasing the tension on the backstay. Since most catamarans don't have backstays, you set your pre-bend by adjusting the rigging as Ty is doing in this video. Mast rake allows you to move the center of effort for the sails relative to the position of the keel(s). Generally, the more rake you have the more weather helm you have. In boats that sail heeled over, like monohulls, it is usually faster upwind to have more rake in light air and less in heavy. Rake is usually set by moving the position of the base of the mast fore and aft.

[@euroroadtrip2010]

We put 60kg on a 50 Privilege

[@derek8838]

Anyone else taking their “captain’s”license?

[@paratyshow]

👍☑🏝

[@henna696]

You are criticizing the manufacture of your boat. I thought they were so kind to you during the repair period? Do they supply bad anchors on their boats?

[@BillB23]

Here's a gratuitous comment for your analytics.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

Nooo your videos go by too fast.

[@pleclerc1]

Great video guys!

[@SailingDauntless]

Thanks so much!
