Last minute glassing over thru hull

[@davidc6510]

Sam Holmes... Single Handed Sailor ... Single Handed DYI You Tuber ... Single Handed Awesome Sailing. Shout out to super Larry the amazing helper - thanks mate!

[@twistedlv]

Don't forget single handed videographer. He does projects with one hand, that would take me two hands and a foot!

[@TotalBoat]

You are making some great progress, Sam!! Nice work!!

[@gravityalwayswins1434]

man u have done an eff ton of work on your boat. nonstop no holds barred get after it. I retired last year after 47 years carpentry. That was my deal as well. Good job Sam!

[@sailingelectricgitana1286]

Don't forget to have some sandpaper and paint ready to touch up the spots the keel is resting on. You should be able to get access when the boat goes on the trailer and it will dry on the drive to the water.

[@Jeff034]

Move your seacocks to where you can get to them in an emergency mate. Good on you for perseverance!

[@gilbert6803]

Looking great, kind of sad to see the projects coming to an end, but know you’re ready to be back on the water!

[@WalkerKlondyke]

Get a couple desiccant containers to put inside of the electronics box to soak up the humid air.

[@nearlynormal]

I thought the same thing. But where would you dry out the desiccant? Maybe keep a small cloth bag of rice in there that can be rotated out as he cooks it. Another thought; With all the work he'd done, the inside of the boat is likely to be much drier than before.

[@spencyg80]

FYI, you probably won't run into any problems but that steaming light LED won't pass USCG approval due to the necessity for a 225 degree viewing angle on the white light. This is why all the steaming lights (and all the other navigation lights, for that matter) have lenses which protrude out from the mast/cabinsides/etc. You need to be able to see the light from more than just directly in front of the boat, and the led strip you mounted will really only be visible for maybe 50-60 degrees off the forward centerline.

[@curthook9622]

Put 3 up side by side

[@mylescripps6566]

Might not be a bad idea to to install a uscg approved steaming light. I am no pro but i remember hearing a story about a drunk power boater hitting a sailboat . Sailboat guy lost the case because his steaming light wasn’t uscg approved.

[@saltlifejunky5168]

Coming along nicely. You do some good work. Fair winds and following seas Sam.

[@SteampunkSammy]

This kind of lifestyle is what I dream of, Fantastic update as always!

[@jaimeparra27]

Yeah, me too, Mr Sam is a very talented person!

[@adriennef1770]

Sam, when you removed the frozen seacock, did you plug the hole or just glass over it?

[@davidgadbury1832]

It will be nice to see the boat back in the water and new adventures beginning.

[@n3xu59988]

Loving these daily updates! Its just enough to get my fix for the day before the next update tomorrow! Before there was a 2-3 day SH drought! lol

[@samholmessailing]

Great to hear! I

[@rhett7716]

@@samholmessailing well done Sam !!👍👏💪

[@heinrichderbauer2897]

Nice Sam 👍🏼 You get the like without asking. And I don't skip ads, I just watch them completely. 😁 Cheers

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Thanks Sam for sharing another update. So excited to know that you only have a few days until you splash. ⛵️⛵️🌊🌊⛵️💕

[@craigrelan2346]

Check the COLREGS requirements for your masthead light. The reason the original ws placed a bit in front of the mast was that it met the 22.5 deg abaft the beam. Just saying

[@sailingzigzags6511]

Super excited for you to be back in the water

[@wildbillcodyswildlifeprese7291]

Really enjoyed being part of the boat revamp projects with you! Learning a ton...Looking forward to setting sail!

[@paulhardie392]

The boat is looking great sam

[@kman-mi7su]

I wish I lived closer I would volunteer to help you get rid of those tires. We could load them in my F250 pickup and rent a big trailer to load as well and haul them to the local dump.

[@robs715]

Strange man

[@pmnfernando]

the steaming light has an arc of visibility of 235 degrees. by installing that you are misleading other boats.

[@annmcwilliams1230]

Love the Dailey’s great

[@toddgustafson277]

Good idea with electronic box......

[@redwood1957]

Did you glass the inside? Take some acitone and auto trans fluid 50/50 it will free most anything. Worse cases more acitone.

[@danceswithcarsdc]

Mast white light to LED conversion: what angle can you see the replacement v. The original... Little pinpoint lights aren't tail light/ headlights even if the same Lumens. Have to see from the side, etc. Kewl aside add LED light to the thru Hull... Might want to keep the handle, as a go bag, rapid exit to life raft/escape pod... Car body goop work in Marine environment? FibreGlass but ... Idk Guess find out miles from shore...

[@danceswithcarsdc]

At $750 for n sheets plywood, wondering about cost v. Solar panels...

[@danceswithcarsdc]

And oddly, Warm Showers Hut...

[@fuzzyjax]

Sam I’m loving these daily vlogs. I’ve been watching but now that you’re close to getting back into the water, have you disclosed your travel plans for the upcoming season? All the best to you. I’ll be watching.

[@chuckleber3484]

You should use a metal case for your charging station so that you have a Faraday cage to protect from lightening strike.

[@SailingKitabu]

Easiest way I found to remove thru hulls is with a dremel, from exterior, cut inside the thru hull with small cutting wheel, mushroom falls right off, minimal efflrt required

[@pjorgerod522]

Hello Sam, I have been watching your channel. Great insight for a CD28. I am potential buyer of a CP28 similar as yours at initial state. Can you tell me how much did you spend in rigging, standing and running? And until now more or less your all investment in the boat to offshore? Thanks in advance and always great sailing, Paul

[@Jack-ne8vm]

2:50 wonder if diaelectric grease inside the heat-shrink tubing would keep moisture out better

[@TravelinLight303]

Have you thought of the heat generated being in an enclosed case? You may want to consider that so you do not have a battery fire.

[@danceswithcarsdc]

Looked up locally Home Depot $69/ 4'x8' sheet pressure treated plywood...

[@sailingelectricgitana1286]

Let's see you play that keyboard!!!

[@jayybone6227]

Doesnt he play sax too? He should sit in with bands when he stops for food :)

[@DLJ2890]

Do you use peat moss for the toilet? and do you vent it with a fan?

[@freakdawg8109]

Keep up the good work man

[@samholmessailing]

Appreciate it

[@rustyheyman1521]

Sam keep it up my brother! Quick thought maybe before doing something, especially something big, post what you are planning to do. You might get some good insights from the collective group think.

[@Sp3ktral22]

Fucking impressive work ethic Sam. Bon Voyage!

[@jimlee3840]

What engine do you have in your CD28? I have a CD30 Cutter with a Volvo Penta MD7a.

[@dentxn]

as always, excellent videos man

[@Ash-cy7yw]

Sam what is that little hand held lighter/torch/flame thing you have?

[@colehankins]

Say Hi to the Banjo crew when you go back in the water. They are at Deatons

[@jayybone6227]

High Five LARRY

[@TheCorsair]

That steaming light solution doesn't meet the tech requirements. Won't have a sufficient angle of view.

[@edwin3928ohd]

Sam, I have been watching you for a few months now. Before you go on your next Journey, I have a few questions. Are you able to get any satellite internet access at all in the middle of the ocean? If so, are you aware of the GOES satellites? There are two of the satellites that will cover the Pacific and the Atlantic. Not only do they provide imagery, but also precipitation estimates so it could be used similar to weather radar. I am a trained storm spotter for the National Weather Service and I'm developing a web-based app, but if you are not aware of the potential of this I can show you how to use the imagery anytime. This would be using free software, of course. I'm only saying this because if you are not aware of it... it is an amazing tool to have out there.

[@deibertmichael]

No mast pipe? What kind of snake was that in your garage?

[@truthalwayswins3078]

Steaming light/decklight combo would be better. That led light doesn't conform to Col Regs.

[@leztog]

Great to see these daily updates. Did you ever get Starlink setup?

[@samholmessailing]

I ended up canceling it and going with the iridium go. hopefully star link will come online for boaters at a reasonable price soon so I can switch.

[@skippy9214]

@@samholmessailing apparently a mobile version will be coming out next year. Delays are probable, but it will apparently be deigned with campers, RVs and boats in mind. The current version takes a ton of power and a while to set up, while being locked to one address.

[@bhartley1024]

Starlink Martime is supposed to be coming out soon, but the price is insane at the moment, $10,000 for the hardware and $5,000 per month for the connection. Makes sense for large commercial ships and billionaire megayacht owners, but not for little guys like us.

[@fredziffle6843]

THis is why you used Never Sez, so hardware does not get stuck

[@koltanweaks6167]

How can anyone dislike these videos, they're always cool to see the updates and progress.

Wake up with Sam and fiberglass dust!!! WTG

[@garynolan5240]

Sam will you be painting the interior

[@tjeerdveenhoven]

I love your channel! I got a little bit sad when you threw the plastic cable in the grass. Sure those will end up in a disposal bag somewhere. When we walk, sail or climb we collect trash because plastic has no place in nature. It are the small bits that do much harm. Good luck with your great project!

[@calvingarrett3245]

Can't wait to see you get back on the water Sam good looking God bless you stay safe buddy from Ray Garrett Roseville California USA

Sam, you should change your channel to "The One Handed Refit" channel ;) Would someone please buy Sam a GoPro Bite so he can use all the limbs at his disposal!

[@StickingCruel]

Anyone else notice they're at least 3 potential "that's what she said" jokes in the first 30 seconds?

[@jimarmstrong1458]

Too much SCS (shaky camera syndrome ).

[@B82828]

Maybe sell the boat for fire wood?

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Oh dear, your friend who does car repairs needs to be a long way away from you. There are correct ways to do through hull repairs like this and right from the get-go you got it wrong. Good luck when afloat, hope your pumps are working well.

[@Ash-cy7yw]

Can you elaborate on what is the correct way?
