Fibre Lifelines and Lazy Jacks PLUS Pascale's Pantry Revealed - Free Range Sailing Ep 166

[@pitdoctor]

Another idea for people that want to use LED strip lights like that, there are lots of options on the market that have RGB LEDs with the ability to have multiple colors and multiple temperatures of white light as well as dimming abilities with any color. And it can be done with just one strip and very low power draw including kits with a USB type A plug for power if you want super simple.

[@torstenhansen4308]

Calm and understated competence on display, what an excellent video! Thank you for posting and adding to my long list of ‘must implement’ ideas.

[@jaysoncody8716]

I really like the bag you made, with that nice shade material! Those would make for nice durable, breathable, beach, or boat shopping bags! I would think! Just put some Dyneema handles on them, and a white embroidered "Free Range Sailing patch", on the side, or both sides. Sale them in the show notes, for patron support, or gift them to your best Patrons?

[@firstmkb]

I actually had to double check whether you bought a new boat when I saw your new interior. What a beautiful refit!

[@matt_kildea]

Ok this is video number 43 of my "I want to buy a Free Range Sailing hoody" campaign Cheers Matt

[@passinthru4328]

Interesting demonstration of some of the art of rope splicing and their application on your boat. Nice to see castoffs being re-purposed for a longer useful life. Love the use of hateshrink.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

The world needs more hateshrink! 😄

[@tdk1246]

All for Wide Rope Replacement (WRR). The D I Y aspect is the number one seller for me. I can easily splice a new stay at sea without special or expensive components or equipment. Thanks for showing this, I'm learning a lot from you two.

[@remyyamabushi1473]

merci pour toutes ces idées très interessante de recyclage et d'aménagement. Vous faites un travail remarquable sur votre magnifique bateau.

[@jderrida69]

What? Its over already?? Boy that went by fast! It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and you teach me something in every one of them !!! Thank you.

[@justinstubbs5922]

You two are priceless. Pascale's smile itself makes me feel good. Well done!

[@jaapjanstevenhagen8605]

From what I can tell you guys did a brillant job refitting your old lady, must be such a joy sailing her! cheers, JJ

[@johnrathbun3641]

That you guys very much for sharing all of your projects and it gives me ideas of what I will be doing on my boat.

[@johnnydfred]

Fantastic explanations and ideas for practical rigging and stowage. Great job folks, keep it up!

[@gswilkie]

Nice work! Loving the tip for using heat shrink on the end of the shock cord 👍

[@davidharlem6824]

You are both perfectionists and that is why you have such a great product. Truly awesome.

[@joecat101]

I love the way you both explain things, the two of you mesh together very well. Outstanding episode, thank you FRS.

[@Mark-tu9mi]

You guys are very talented. Always enjoy watching

[@olavthyvold2288]

Great video!. You two are so fun to watch. Your pride, ingenuity and "can do" attitude shine through. One of my favourite channels

[@raymclaughlin4919]

Hi Guys, The weakest point of lifeline system is the small welded loop where the lifelines are attached. We use the welded loop to fix the position of the lifeline but run the lashings around the actual stanchion. s/v "Horizon"

[@justsomeguy6474]

Mirrool really has been transformed. Great job both of you.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

They give sailing courses at yachting clubs. But if any club had Troy and Pascal instruction for hands-on, "Maintenance and Best Pactice", you could fill their banquet rooms full of students Friday-Sunday and, "Nautical Shop Basics", Monday-Thursday.

[@skookumjack]

Just brilliant you guys, that was a lot of thought gone into those details and extremely well executed. Such a pleasure to watch perfection in action..... where did that 20 mins go?!?!

[@anthonybeck2384]

The jack lines are a thing of beauty 👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

I installed Dyneema dux lifelines and so far after 2 years they are still looking new. I put shrink sleeves where they go through the stanchions. So many similarities to what I have done. On my lazy jacks I had some round bronze thimbles which worked like the rings. Those Ronstan fittings are very neat, off to the chandlery…. Love your videos and the practical videos. Andy UK

[@1240enzo]

You guys really have put a lot of clever thought into the details in the makeover of your boat. Really impressive. I would imagine she would have to likely be one of the very best Clansman 30s out there following this refit. Well done to both of you.

[@bbraonain]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@nellyther5017]

I wont have to go sailing anymore ! I can get my fix right here ! Hehehe! ... You guys are way cool!🙂 Cheers! for all the great info!

[@theswabbie30]

I enjoy watching yard work as much or more than the actual sailing vlogs.

[@chrispomfret8592]

Cracking good lazy jacks! So impressed with using modern racing style systems for a cruising yacht. Normally people over build cruising boats with weight. With the difficulty of pulling the pantry Lee cloths to attach the hooks you could add a piece of folded in half to form a loop webbing or old sheet casing a few inches away from the eyelet along the top hem. That will give you a little extra spring in the shock cord. Or... cut a slice in the hem turn down so you can slot the shock cord from one side to the other. It would look like the string in a hoodie. As an ex sailmaker I was impressed with how straight Pascal got the stitching. Kudos!

[@TasmanianViking]

I love the soft and work light combination. The finer details like this make such a big difference, I hope you are both well.

[@CorwynGC]

I like the black lifelines; if you start getting chafe you can always serve the line where it passes through the stantion. I would call the eye splice through the chock, a 'ring hitch' and thus ABOK 310, but the point is well taken. Can't wait to see her back on the sea.

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very informative and I love the approach towards functionality and simplicity...

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Loads of brilliant ideas here

[@gkeyman565]

great work, I bet all that rope rigging has made it a lot quieter, no clunks or clanks of cables and connectors, should be nice peaceful sailing. Also since all the storage places are secured with covers no spillage of things in rough seas. Less worries , less stress. Have a great day!!

[@andersjakobsen9906]

In the end, - it most have been a fun project. At least it was for me 😊 Looking forward to a long episode next week 🤗 Fair winds,,, /),,,,,

[@oceanictranquility7782]

Aw Mate(s), I happened on your latest just 1 minute after you UPL it to KZbin. Thanks for your informative, entertaining and community vidde. I hope you are both well and dealing with the pressures of lockdown and 'living' in the job, so to speak. I think I've come to appreciate your style of presentation and the vast reservoir of knowledge you both have. Whilst you've been away from YT, I've had the opportunity to watch other sailors and their efforts, none of them have your 'can do' 'mend and make do' or budget constraints which inform your episodes. Again I've learned a lot from your experiences. Keep sailing, David High Seas Raider.

[@phillipobrien7365]

As usual lots of great practical ideas. I especially liked the one LED strip covering the whole pantry, well thought out. Also "bin bargains" aren`t they the best ? All my sail bags and mainsail cover are ex camping gazebo`s which always got damaged in storms and dumped at the campground I worked at, and fine flywire for hatches from dead tents dumped as well.

[@sandaysunday7997]

The boat looks so, so nice! You both are brilliant people. I, like many here, I imagine, cant wait till Mirool lifts her sails again. 😊💕

- and in the UK it's skip diving; and about half the really useful things in my daughter's workshop came from things other people had decided should be thrown away. SO much better than looking in a catalogue or hardware store for things. Repurpose, adapt.

[@sailingarista]

Thanks for sharing great details.

[@mtrezaie]

Please make a review of your synthetic rig compared to the normal one. I would assume many are interested in it now. How do you deal with tightening it every so often? And how often? And what temperature?

I'm sure there are more things you'd have liked to have done with Mirrool, but I think she's looking pretty shipshape.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

The saying is true you can teach an old dog/biker new tricks.. I never thought about using heat shrink at the end of my nylon ropes I been just burn the ends to melt it. But sometimes it don't work so good. I never thought about putting heat treat over the endsit that looks like it's almost guaranteed to stay. Thank you for that awesome tip. I sure do enjoy your kids' videos we all got some mighty good ideas I had to make different things work. . So let me see very big thank you for taking time making these videos... Much loving prayers you kids be blessed in Jesus... BBE 🤗🤗❤️♥️

Really like everything in the refit, bringing everything up to date and improving it. It looks like you should save a lot of power as well. I really love the rigging I've been interested in synthetic ropes etc like paracords, dynamic tow ropes and winch lines so I can't wait to see the new rig in action.

[@harleydavo1099]

Great vid, Mirrool looks fine. Regarding chafing on life lines, your setup would allow you to slack one end and tension other periodically to move wear point.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Yes you are exactly right. Most lines are looped at the fore end but lashing each end allows us to 'freshen the nip' Just like an anchor rode.
