Hallberg-Rassy 312 "Ellös": INSTALLING LOFRAN WINDLASS X2 & CLEATS

[@daviddailey4959]

You are just never going to get that attention to detail in a production boat. Bravo!

[@sea4see]

Detail David ars the difference from to be great or to be to normal... I like detail of I didn’t pay attention my eyes later always look the mistake🤣🤣🤣

[@joanneshellings5457]

Great job again Gabriele...you didn't steal your name for sure (meaning:"God given strength"). Thank you for sharing this awesome renovation with us!

[@sea4see]

Thx mate !! Nice to know💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@clifficus]

Just stumbled across your channel, Gabriele, and your attention to detail is simply amazing, wonderful to watch and certainly gets my subscription, bravo👏

[@sea4see]

Thx Clifffor subscribe my channel ! Happy you love detail!!💪🏻

Another great video, where I learned a little bit. I'm also completely remaking a steel sailing boat, just at the beginning of the adventure, and I really like to see how you work. It's always with a lot of care for details even with small mistakes. Keep up the good work! You have my thumbs up!

[@sea4see]

Thx Pal for your 👍🏻! You are on the business now!!! Boat to restore new life!

[@mikewillis2934]

I love your attention to detail and that you continue to work to a high quality standard.

[@sea4see]

Thx Mike quite difficult but I try to do the best!!!

[@Scramasax]

Perfect again! I think you need to make a polished stainless steel plate on the deck where the anchor can hit the teak.

[@sea4see]

Ciao Mate! I’m still thinking best solution for that.. steel plate? Support? New to figure out how to solve...

[@chmodman]

Gabriele, I am curious, did you add a shelf to lift the anchor chain off the bottom of the locker so it stays dry? Or do you just let the chain fall to the bottom of the locker?

[@sea4see]

+Kurt Braun yes I make a shelf that permit the water to drain below and it maintain the chain about 2/3 cm lift from the bottom is made by plywood and paint with double components paint epoxy

Looking fantastic my friend

Nice job again Gabriele!

Thx mate! Hope so....

[@nena4215]

Perfectly installed, beautiful job!

[@sea4see]

Thx mate take care!!!

[@marchagemann7381]

Amazing work and very neat. Just to ask, I'm busy installing exact same windlass. The manual says 40mm max thickness on deck. I see your deck and profile is beyond that thickness. If the windlass is too high, the key does not fit all the way into the motor. Is this a problem or not??

[@sea4see]

Uh uh …. Depending of how much the key will fit it… how thick is your deck?

[@marchagemann7381]

@@sea4see the deck is currently 25mm and the teak profile is also 25mm plus also have a 6mm ss backing plate and 6mm ss top plate that goes on top of the teak.

[@marchagemann7381]

@@sea4see it's the same lofrans x2 vertical windlass that you installed. At the moment the key on the shaft does not slide all the way into the motor. Does the key really need to be all the way in???

[@sea4see]

Let me check… I will come back to you

Great work

Thx Ben!! 💪🏻

[@slowjams307]

I need help with a lofran x4 when using the drum to release ropes not the anchor . When releasing the mooring ropes the drum start making stuck noise and won’t realease it’s like if it was straining but when pulling in mooring rope which is more pressure it works perfect

[@sea4see]

Hello thx for write! Never happen to me but best way is to take out the drum and have a look inside could be something inside it

[@MrR6pilot]

Lovely job 💪👏

[@sea4see]

Thx mate!

[@DWAJarrett]

Great to be reminded of the Blue Steel. Is this the name it is sold under?

[@sea4see]

Damon... sorry the Blue steel Is a epoxy resin that I fill the hole and tapered later...

[@tarivard]

I suggest a Rocna anchor - I have one and it is awesome

[@sea4see]

Thx Tim! I know that Rocna is wonderful but also Spade is great I used both !!!

[@normanboyes4983]

Beautiful work - we expect nothing else from Gabrielle.😀👍 Why were you tapping threads into fibreglass for the cleats was this just for those cleats you could not gain access to inside the hull?

[@sea4see]

Thx Norman! Yes true no access inside. 2 trough bolt 2 treads on fiberglass

[@M31AutumnMist]

Hi - love the channel. Great attention to detail :-) We are planning to fit a lofrans windlass aswell so found this very helpful. Please can i ask - it looks like you have 40mm thick deck + 20mm teak pad on deck so at least 60mm thick in total? Did you get a special version of the X2 from Lofrans as the manual for the standard one says it can only do a 40mm thick deck in total? Many thanks for your videos - looking forward to seeing Ellos in the water and glad you have recovered.

[@sea4see]

+Chris P ciao Chris! Thx for appreciate my work!! Don’t worry regarding the bolts! You don’t need to buy from Lofrans but you can buy a M8 stainless steel 316 threaded bar and cut it at your need.. is better this way because you can make your own custom made installation believe me is a piece of cake!!

[@M31AutumnMist]

@@sea4see Many thanks Gabriele, much appreciated. We've just ordered our new lofrans windlass so looking forward to getting it installed and testing it this summer (fingers crossed ;-))

[@martinedelman6004]

​​​@@sea4see But do you only need to change the bolts if the deck thickness is greater than 40 mm? What about the main shaft? I'm in the same situation with similar boat, but from Najad. The total thickness needs to be about 60 mm.

[@sea4see]

I will show you a photo under deck so you can understand but at the end I got same thickness teak plate + windlass+ deck thickness is more than 60…

[@martinedelman6004]

@@sea4see thank you, that would be very helpful with a picture.

[@scyz2807]

Gabriele, I figured out the best way to watch your videos! I imagine that Ellos is my boat and you are the person who is fixing her up for me! : - ) I am so glad you do excellent work making my boat even better than new. Plus, I never have to pay you AND you make videos of your progress. What could be better than that? The only problem I see is how do I get my boat from Italy to the US after you are done? Hmmmm. lol Leaving my imagination behind, it is very nice to see the progress you are making on Ellos. Scott W PS - At 4:22 I noticed your friend Ed came back! Seems like you want to do something very nasty to him. haha

[@sea4see]

You never know you can bring your boat here and work together!! Ed come more easy now.. I hit my head something happen🤣

[@sjp52047]

Very nice work Gabe. As always, but you need to clean your face more often when polishing. LOL! Dirty work indeed. Regards, Solomon

[@sea4see]

Ciao Solomon! Yes true but I discovers my black face at the end of the polish session!!!🤣

[@sykendu-twanbiemans7586]

In case you still have the original cleats: I would like to buy them from you when they are in reasonable condition...

[@sea4see]

Let it go... gone and corroded the mid cleat was the only in good condition except anodisation

[@sykendu-twanbiemans7586]

OK, thanks. My mid cleats on my 36 are corroded and some holes are cracked.... And like you said: they don’t sell the original ones anymore at HR Parts....

[@sea4see]

Yes they are try to make but they gave problem with the polish so they refuse to buy the new old cleats... I speak with them they looking for other factory that could make the correct fusion...

[@bobbob6472]

@23:45 That drip looks like a head.

[@veikopiirsalu8466]

How can you open your anchor locker in future ? Isn't the chain in the way ? Greetings into Italy!

[@sea4see]

Ciò Veiko I need to install a handle on the lid , the chain is faraway from the lid

[@veikopiirsalu8466]

@@sea4see ok, from the video it looked like chain is going directly over the lid and preventing it to open in the future.

[@sea4see]

Yes off course sadly you need to alighting the chain with bow roller so chain run over lid.. don’t care I will leave open when at anchor
