INCREDIBLE 🏆 Mistress' NEW RIG 💪 Ep 176 Building my steel sailing yacht

[@maxellison55]

So much forethought and planning that we armchair Captains can’t fathom. I am continually amazed at how much pre- planning has been involved in this project! Well done sir, well done!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hey thanks very much for your good and encouraging comments AND good support Max, much appreciated sir 🙂👍🏻

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Congratulations on yet another hurdle overcome. The milestones are just flying bye these days. Well done Bruce. Best regards from Jarle

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Jarle, appreciated and all the best with your good sailing 🙂👍🏻

Tell you what Bruce, I'm so jealous of your mast mate. Not only is it a work of art but so functional. Well done the manufacturers for an awesome job. But good forward planning. Can't wait to see it all rigged up.⛵👍

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Understood Donald and yes agreed, as I said, I was actually blown away on re-seeing this Rig, it IS impressive! 🙂👍🏻

[@radams009]

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks RJ, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

Excellent! Another mad boat builder. I knew I wasn't alone. I am also singlehanded building a 53 footer. I am looking forward to binging a bunch of your videos! Keep up the great work, Cheers from steve and Maple (the new boat pup)

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Hahaa, yeahh, one needs to be somewhat 'outside of the box' to undertake a boat build Steve! BUT, you are not alone! 😁Thanks very much for your good comments and for watching, appreciated and all the best with your boat build 👍🏻

Bruce, it looks like you and cookie there put a ton of planning and forethought into the mast. I am so happy for you, pretty soon you will be on the water doing the shake down and then the fun will start.😊

Merci beaucoup Jean, thanks, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@rolandtb3]

Well taken care of. Cookie is not even the slightest worried, very reassuring.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Yes indeed Roland, Cookie is highly experienced, thanks 🙂👍🏻

[@R.E.HILL_]

Nice mast.. I would have added a couple of foldable mast steps near the top of the mast so one can stand up not having to work with your arms above your head... Anyways, looking forward to your next video..🙂👍

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks, appreciated and yes, 2 steps at the near top would be handy 🙂👍🏻

[@jaygee5693]

Quality, strength, and BEAUTY.

[@captainborchik3141]

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Beautiful rig, Brucey.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Ross! Where/who are you getting your rig from?

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

We are having it made by tempo in Sydney, interesting having a block and fully vang, I am considering that also as the gas strut version are troublesome with corrosion and failure.Cookie seems like a good egg. ​@BuildingSYMistress

[@BuildingSYMistress]

@@LifeOnTheHulls That sounds good, I kind of like the idea of dealing with the not so big names, where as I did, I imagine that you are getting great, local and professional service and at a better price?! Cookie is Gold, SO easy to deal with and Professional! 👌

[@Andre-yu3qs]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Andre, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@chefmichaelt]

Very exciting!❤❤❤

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks Michael, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@2dogsnight]

Huge , beautiful mast! Getting so close!

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Good on you, thanks for your good comments, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@rl3898]

Very smart Bruce, only fitted Radar units from some years ago and the cable was a massive co ax multicore , it would not have fitted through that gland on the mast let alone your steel pipe. I guess now it's power and 2 data cores only !

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your good comments rl, appreciated and it's just 1 power and 1 data for the Radar 🙂👍🏻

[@latitudeash]

Coming to get her now

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Yes, the Rig is all sorted now, thanks, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@SAILBOATJACARANDA]

Looks decent mate.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Good on you mate, thanks 🙂👍🏻

[@latitudeash]

All I would add is a vidio camera at the top of the mask. One pointing down and another pointing forward. If room put a wind generator at the top of the mask.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks for your comments, appreciated 🙂👍🏻

[@87xfute]

Very cool Bruce, great vid mate. I was just wondering, is Mistress a twin keel and will she be able to stand on say sand at low tide so you can clean her hull. Thanks mate. Seeya Rob

[@jaygee5693]

It's a long time since I saw Mistress's keel, but she's a Van de Stadt 40 Caribbean which has a fin keel.

[@BuildingSYMistress]

Thanks very much Rob, appreciated mate and no, Mistress is not a 'bilge keeler' (twin keels), she has what's called the 'shallow draft' fin keel 🙂👍🏻

[@BuildingSYMistress]

@@jaygee5693 Thanks Jaygee, appreciated and btw her keel can be seen in the opening intro. 🙂👍🏻

[@jaygee5693]

@@BuildingSYMistress 🙄Then I've seen it a hundred times.
