PREPARING TO CROSS OCEANS! | Replacing our Standing Rigging... Ep 356

The end of the boatyard is insight as our NEW RIG arrives and we re-step the mast! www.sailingnan...
The long one month in the boatyard is finally coming close to the end. We first hauled out Nandji 2 to complete 3 major jobs in preparation for the year of sailing ahead. With a gnarly Indian Ocean in front of us, we need to make sure the vessel is up for the task.
Hauling out, and wasting no time, we removed the mast the following day in order to replace the standing rig. With the mast on the ground, we got an accurate pin to pin measurement of the wires, a rig plan then created and then sent through to Hamma in Australia where our wires were fabricated by Josh and the team at Arcus Wire.
Whilst we waited for DHL to get our new rig to us in Thailand, it gave us time to sort the other 2 major jobs. Below the waterline was was being attended by the team at Yacht Blast, firstly dustless blasting the bottom and revealing the true integrity of the hull. A million tiny holes were then subsequently filled n faired and the butt re anti fouled to keep those barnacles away.
With the other major jobs underway, it gave Bonita and I time to concentrate on the 3rd task, our teak deck. We scrapped, sanded and vacuumed, sanded and vacuumed some more for weeks on end, finally reaching a finished stunning new deck that not only improves the appearance of our home into super yacht status, but is a functional, water tight deck.
With the new rig arriving into Phuket, the final task of replacing the mast is in full swing and the end of the boatyard is in sight!!

[@johneveridge3714]

Your Daughter will go on to do amazing things. I had a friend named Craig who grew up on sail boat. This was late 70's. He was so far advanced from us peers from his experiences. His Father wrote a book about their adventures . It was good.

[@Stakman1]

Don't let this go to your heads, but it's always a good day when a new Nandji vid drops! Nandji 2 is looking sweet!

[@mattcarroll106]

The level of excitement in your voices is palpable. Love the enthusiasm, safe travels!

[@MaMa-st2eg]

God bless Nandji 2 and its crew. Bonita, Talulah and Yosh we adore, respect and hope the best for you as you have blessed us with your unrelenting spirit . Our family has said, of all the sailing people, our favorite is your family. God bless and safe journeys. We home schooled both of our kids. All of their peers respect, cherish and desire deep friendship. They have no issues with developing relationships because they know NO stranger.Talulah will be the same. Her life experience will be one if fulfilling your dreams, conquering fears, accepting everyone and do things yourself. God bless, we look forward to all your journeys ahead.

[@nffremote]

From the Qld coast, to old smoke and the Singapore straits, being on a reef, and now with Nanji 2, what a journey. Congratulations to you both, and thanks for allowing us to be on board for the journey.

[@loisphillips5826]

Nandji 2 looks great! Super yacht! Yea, a washing machine for Bonita! Thanks for sharing.

[@roslyndarcy8710]

Looking great,exciting . Lisa's book "Facing Fear" is amazing ....

[@steini6771]

She`s rocking!. Come to think about it, you all do. Thanks -

[@tigershark7682]

Been a lot of years since y'all started.yall are a rocking family.god bless

[@juliazentner681]

Omg I'm so in to same things as you! Watching this at 2.25am and so cracking up! Woke the husband up!

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

Thats your home, and it is looking awesome, well done guys 👍

[@chrisclarke3670]

Looks like great upgrades to ease your minds during rough sailing ahead. Looks great!

[@michaelcousins2526]

From the drone's eye view it is stunning how tall that mast truly is!! WOW!!

[@njbaskipper]

Yes, that girl TAYANA definitely makes you very happy and that's very good. You did it, well done. Congratulations 🎉🥂

[@juliazentner681]

Quickly became my favorite channel! Cant wait to see your upcoming adventure! Super Cool!

[@cutaway7405]

Oh Wow Wow Nandji looks Beautiful and is Ready to see the world and whatever Nature presents!! All your hard work did not go unnoticed.....Long hours, problem solving, blood sweat and tears...All Behind You now....Ready for Action now!! And it couldn't be a better start than with Tallulah and Dad doing the Pirate send off!! We Love your Family!! Fair winds and calm seas!!❤❤❤❤

[@mezanian]

Hamma, thanks for your refit. Im less worried about these wonderful people and Marley crossing the oceans.😅

[@petercaras3696]

You already have the counterpoise and the SSB HF radio, if the antenna is the only reason you are bailing on the radio, may I suggest the Gam/McKim split lead antenna. No insulators required, it snaps onto a backstay or shroud and has a lead that attaches to the tuner. Not cheap, $450.00 US, but you may find you enjoy keeping in contact with other boats and , who knows, you may hear a mayday from someone that couldn't email you on the starlink.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks Peter! This sounds like a possible solution! Will look into it further for something to do down the track. We don’t want to get rid of it!

[@davidrawles5732]

Totally agree . What if you get a knock down a the other means of communication is Knock out the HF has the range to get help

[@patraic5241]

With everything you learned about the status of your old rig I'm Really Glad you replaced everything. The old was probably ok for coastal sailing or tooling around Indonesian islands. Not for crossing powerful oceans.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Exactly!!!

[@kristaready8812]

So happy you guys did these upgrades before your crossing!! Now I can watch and not worry about the sea worthiness of your vessel!! Plus she looks great too 😂🤗💞

[@fxpthl]

Wow kids. What a huge upgrade in your rigging! I hope you were given some monetary relief from the rigging company for all of your positive feedback. I5 must have cost a ton!

[@robertnixon3816]

Really first class upgrade to that standing rigging! I'll bet Bonita is as excited about the washing machine install as all the rest! Good job to you all on this yard period for all the upgrades. Safer, stronger and more beautiful yacht! The Nandji way!👍😊❤️

[@kimmullin4864]

Your knowledge, experience, and safety above and beyond ensures a great trip. We will keep watching for sure.

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends!!! That new rigging by Hamma sure is sexy. I feel it Yosh! Nandji Two is looking amazing and will take good care of you as you head towards the Indian Ocean. Tully Bug is so cute. She is going to be an amazing sailor some day. Thanks for sharing. Yew!

[@dmttday3030]

Style points 10 on this channel

[@kashaNorth]

Nice bit of kit that

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

I really enjoy your videos. Cheers

[@larrylegg8245]

Your safety concerns for your boat show me you are a skipper I would sail with. Good sailing, mate.

[@shreksswamp9001]

Well done guys. Great job. Are you going to be taking crew with you across the Indian? You were before. Now you have a very young lula, you really need someone to give you a hand looking after her, because all the other channels that went across there have had to contend with some huge seas at different times. Mind you, Sailing Nahoa did it recently with a broken catamaran and a couple of rug rats. They were bloody game if you ask me. Anyway, great video and well done. Cannot wait to see the journey.

[@jeffhorning7667]

Pretty cool 😎

[@user-yf2oy6ob1i]

Hi, i am form East Marine have a good trip. 😊

[@Fantic156]

Insurance mate. Replace before it breaks and upgrade every time, way to go you legends! 😜

[@lyndeebrider2340]

You guys are so happy with the new boat. Great work all of you. Love watching you Aussie kids and your travels ❤

[@murphyrp01]

Some serious “barring up” Yosh. Great to see the improvements to Nanji. Love your work

[@animaphoria4074]

Happy for you guys! 🎉

[@creativecutter]

BRAVO! Nanji 2 is looking SPARKLY! Nice episode!!!!

[@shoop4040]

I love the Happiness in you all Gosh, Although it has been a while since I've watched your channel,I've been watching your channel since your 4th episode & I don't even sail. Heck, the open Ocean scares me. Your transformation has been incredible. May you all continue to have safe sails and the time of your life.

[@garysankey4618]

Boats looking amazing topped off with that new rig..she's sound 👍 Well done guys, looking forward to the episodes to come.

[@stevenmoran1196]

❤️the blue pants and white top kat ❤️💋

[@lerato1894]

I'm not a sailor but have been watching you guys from South Africa since before Lula was born :) I'm so excited to follow your journey through our oceans :)

[@Sommers234]

Much love to the Nandji family.🎉😂❤

[@franksmith3602]

Great job....she looks new.... Just a , tip... Buy extra rolls, of stainless steel wire. More, hose clamps... Double up, all your hose clamps. I saw, a few cotter pins, all new... With a weak bend... Rule of thumb, use, stainless wire,.. go round, the cotter pin head...not the legs, like a fly fishing, lure.. round, two times, with needle nose,. Pull the head, slightly, into the, pin.. then, on the outside, of the cotter pin hole...bring, the stainless, wire , down and go, around the cotter pin legs...not, where there bent... But right where the pin comes out the pin hole.. It, will stop....all shaking, bouncing, it will, keep the cotter pin.... 😁 Happy... That's a joke... But, do double up, all hose clamps... Lock in the cotter pins. Also... Before, you leave...with a bright,...color...paint marker.... Go..mark.... (((All.... Bolts,. All motor mounts, all thru holes... ))), mark..them all with a line, from the bolt..to the hull, or what ever... And make...a map...drawing.. You MUST...MAKE, A DAILY CHECK LIST. A WEEKLY CHECK LIST.. AND A TEMP, LIST OF THE MOTOR. AND GEN SET... THE SOONER...YOU KNOW A BOLT IS BACKING OFF...THE QUICKER, THE FIX... BUY,...A HAND HELD.... TEMP GUN... DAILY,..CHECK, GEN SET TEMP...WRITE IT DOWN. KEEP A LOG... KEEP A MOTOR TEMP LOG...EVEN WHEN THE MOTORS NOT ON... GOOD LUCK.... IN 20 YEARS....YOUR DAUGHTERS....GOING TO BE....( A CAPTAIN RON, IN THE DISNEY MOVIE.HAHA, ) OR, SHE BE CAPTAIN OF A SUPER YACHT...MAKING A MILLION A YEAR....).

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

THANKS for Sharing .....you ALWAYS make me Smile the WHOLE time Beautiful rigging 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

I don't even own a boat, but I feel the need to purchase some of that awesome Hamma Pro ... it is so pretty! With the new rigging and the beautiful renewed deck, Nandji II is an absolute stunner! I'm so happy for you guys!

[@adrieaaneveraers1300]

So happy for you guys. What a rocking boat. ❤

[@bentrueman9880]

I have always used Teak oil great job well done both of you

[@ianprice2298]

That is some pretty cables and hardware!

[@philgawthrop2518]

"It's lighter, stronger and less stretch!" You are right, she looks great.

[@danielguppy8310]

5% discount everything he mentions it

[@chriswedding1]

Well done.

[@joeybryan7065]

I waited for this drop. You guys are by far my favorite channel

[@jamesrhodes6462]

That deck looks great. The rigging is battle proven. But that decks makes that boat looks like a million bucks.

[@simoncaselton9020]

Squeaky clean.Good job

[@barcrusher]

Absolute champions.

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Nanji 2 is looking *very* sexy with all that new shiny glitter and bling! ❤ Nice work legends!

[@danleach6828]

All that shiny bling! She looks sharp! I want to be sure I understood you correctly, the new Hamma Pro wire is stronger, lighter, and has less stretch than the old rigging! 😎😂😂😂

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Nailed it

[@joeybryan7065]

She growing up so fast. Wow.

[@Kevinplettenbergbay]

Now that your done.....Are you ready for the fishing off Madagascar and the rest of the Indian ocean?

[@johneveridge3714]

Had a 27 Beneteau . First thing we did was replace standing rigging. We were fresh water. You guys rock

[@victorbitter583]

Nice staino porn Yosh. From someone with interests in fast cars, homebrewing, boats and a former high performance exhaust fitter, I absolutely appreciated it. cheers.

[@kendallwheeler53]

Diamonds are a girls best friend, and shiny new boat parts are a guys best friend.

[@pablosdog2808]

That's some beautiful hardware. One funny little thing....earth can't be a globe...the surface of water defines level...always. Yeah I know....crazy stuff. That and we see way too far....from 8 ft elevation above the water the "horizon" should be at ~ 3.5 miles and should hide a 1400 ft island at 50 miles. Does it? Sure...things will get hidden at the lower elevations due to local seas n waves...perspective (limit of eyesight angular resolution...vanishing point) and light refraction like inferior mirage. Gets worse when observing closer to the surface. So...there your go....some fun facts to keep in mind on your journey. Cheers y'all.

[@wow.sailor.]

Good job ❤

[@shanec.7105]

You'd think this guy is Hammer rep. having mentioned stronger, lighter, less stretch for how many times.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Bringing sexy back😂❤ Perfect example of getting expert products for safety and use. Smartest water couple to follow and admire❤❤ I'm tickled Bonita is getting a washing machine! The Tallulah coin drop segment was beautiful! Memories being made❤

[@karelcuchal9813]

😊

[@user-gz9ty9md4v]

Arrggg! Sealife does set ya apart from mere landlubbers...

[@rvrebel2209]

Hello. Thanks for your Video of re-masting I’m not a sailing person but I sensible learnt a lot from your explaining everything. Thanks. I do have a question: I think that the main deck is now or when sailing that it will be under strain. How do you know that the main deck to cables are capable of taking the strain

[@KeithBaileyEsq]

So on balance, would you say that Hamma Pro was quite good? 😊

[@mcd858]

Yosh, you're an absolute legend!!!

[@MrJackwork]

The highest high is a sense of accomplishment. (Tom Clancy)

[@mikemoxley9477]

Great content !!!

[@darrenykema979]

Sexy rig My ocd kicked in 😅 when I saw the gap on the forestay pin - turnbuckle bracket. I'd have a set of spacers to prevent side slop

[@mattschaal5578]

Out to sea just in time for the heatwave.

[@PamsTravelwithdogs]

Would love to know how Marley is going when is she coming back on the boat

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Marley is good, he’s been back for about a year.

[@123ClassicBeat]

Hope to run into guys in Cape Town for a few 🍻…

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Do you plan go to Gran Canaria?

[@pauljackson5010]

Pour on the sauce!!!!

[@bridgetandmarckaitlyn2930]

Did you guys replace the chain plates? Good luck with your passage!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We didn’t replace but removed and inspected by the rigger. We are lucky as they are easily accessible and can check their condition

[@TG.34295]

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@thephantomBJ]

Hey I am getting rig quotes currently… what made you get rigging fabricated & shipped from QLD, and/or hear about this “Hamma”?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

If you do some research into sailboat rigging, you will quickly learn of Hamma! We wanted the best possible option for our own piece of mind at sea. It was a no brainer for us 👌

[@genieclarke7346]

A seriously sexy rig. Just checked Hamma to see if it is available in South Africa, but alas no.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Write to Hamma global in Australia, I’m sure it could be!!!

[@billbaxter2914]

Looks awesome. Very shiny and very sexy….well done.

[@robertdayton5503]

Hammer Pro warranty is terminated in Australia due it's a high rust area, as shown by your video.... next project, a new a/c system....otherwise, you have a great time....thanks for allowing me to enjoy your videos since the toothpaste hair and caravan

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Where did you find this fact? Hamma has the longest warranty on the market in Australia with a 10 year warranty

[@robertdayton5503]

It was on the back side of the coin Tullia put under the mast....I guess you should have read it......but what could go wrong

[@stevenichols4639]

I’m not clear is the new rig stronger lighter and has less stretch?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

You got it! 😉

[@theoceandragonfly]

👏🎉🎉🎉

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Nandji's 2 rigging is very sexy!

[@freerangehuman7016]

Is Nandij 2 coming to America?

[@joannabrown2995]

mostly mumbo jumbo to me, skipped a bit but great to see it all done.

[@Richard-R-S]

🙏🏻⛵🐬🐕🦘...

[@R.E.HILL_]

Hurry up and sell it...

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Did you mean sail it?

[@R.E.HILL_]
