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

Summer easterlies and the associated stormy weather at our marina in Kettering, Tasmania had us focusing our attention on the rainy day jobs of sewing, splicing and fitting Mirrool’s lifelines, lazy jacks, lee clothes and sheet bags. As our list and the days grow shorter, this week we talk you through their installation and some of the innovative solutions we came up with along the way.

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

[@theswabbie30]

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

[@justsomeguy6474]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@matt_kildea]

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

[@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?!?!

[@brianmardon7123]

Glad you guy's are back .

[@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! 😄

[@firstmkb]

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

[@danielbuckner2167]

Smart enough to pass the bar but thrifty enough to dumpster dive! Who else would match so well with a bloke that makes his own aglets!?

[@victorbitter583]

It's a match made in heaven that's for sure. Not that I'm religious.

[@Mark-tu9mi]

You guys are very talented. Always enjoy watching

[@jonnyrowland]

Boat is looking so damn smart! Also, I say smart now because of you two.

[@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.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers mate

[@davidharlem6824]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@fransdriesen1311]

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

[@johndate1776]

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

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

You are going to have some magic boat👍

[@gswilkie]

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

[@tomwaite4594]

So very elegant with well thought out simplicity ! You two are the best.

[@taylor152]

you guys are incredible! So great watching this.

- 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.

[@DAMusicalHQ]

Yeah!! Soooo many terrific details. Looks incredible!!

[@joecat101]

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

[@anthonyexton7243]

Hope you are all well, better soon

[@uthumanhameed]

Happy to see you guys!...Great 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?

[@chrisbeansailing]

Some great ideas, ....gonna steal them!!

[@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

[@sunshinecatcher8779]

Boats looking great guys

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Loads of brilliant ideas here

[@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.

[@gems34]

So nice to see how everything is coming together, wonderful job!

[@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.

[@jemmainthegym]

Great to see this pop up this morning! Looking forward to watching this after work tonight!

[@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.

[@KevinRob77]

love this refit series

[@mattthewanderer5029]

Awesome as always! Thanks for these videos, helping to keep me sane in an insane time!

[@shaunglendinning]

Everything looks very neat and well thought out! Can't wait to see you back on the water again!. Cheers.

[@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.

[@brianpeterson9348]

Great DIY project ideas. I love the creativity and attention to details. Love the channel!

[@carlamerritt490]

You guys rock. Love the channel and really love the "new boat". 🙂

[@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"

[@Goldfinger140]

You are doing it just right!

[@surlycycler2213]

I really like the way you do things. Some really brilliant ideas. Thank you for sharing them.

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. 😊💕

[@kxdirtjumper]

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.

[@richevans1270]

Splicing level ."EXPERT" well done sir .

Between you two and Sail Life, I learn soooooo much! Thanks! PS. Background noise is never an issue!
