Nice video. No blaring metal music. No mindless chatter. Down to business. You do nice work and Kudos to whomever helped you film. Steady with good zoom.

Thanks Jonathan.

You should do more handyman videos 🥰🔧

Nice job, the use of this kind of standing rigging is already history: synthetic rigging, such as dyneema and the like, is now the standard.

[@gypsysoul1719]

Dyneema is great for racers, not so much for the average sailor. I just watched a video of expert rigger replacing a dyneema shroud. It took him about 10x time to do all the splicing and the ropes must be constantly adjusted and replaced each 10 years, perhaps less if exposed to tropical sun. For the average DIY sailor, SS is convenient, reliable and long lasting.

I just got back from the rigger and ya, I went with 316. I know Dyneema is getting popular but I’m not comfortable with all that yet. I’m brand new, just bought my first liveaboard ‘83 Endeavour 40CC and I’m RE rigging the boat by myself. I’m curious about the silicone though? My existing Norseman and stay locks have no silicone but I’ve been told to use it. The rigger also said lack of oxygen corrodes SS, so which is it…. Silicone or no silicone?

[@mishpatim123]

@@Snookbite24 That's right, SS must 'corrode' in order to protect itself. Use loctite to seal thread and (internal) nuts in the Norseman fittings. It'l keep out water, which might freeze thereby creating microcracs on expansion. Dyneema is grea though, the UV damage is only done superficially and is a minor problem if the outer coating is not damaged. The inside of the rope is not affected by the UV because of the coating. Always take diameters largely enough. Happy miles !!!

Just got a boat with Staylock rigging. Looks ok but is a few years old. I am wondering if I unscrewed the fitting can I inspect the wires inside, then refit, without damage?

[@BrentonWalkerSailing]

G'day Mark, The swageless terminal ends that I'm aware of, this includes Sta-Lock, are designed so that you're able to disassemble, inspect and reuse. That said, the manufactures will advise that it's important to use a new cone when reassembling. Always best to consult the manufacturers advice. That way you can be confident of achieving a good result. Hope this helps.

[@swalemouth]

Seems to me that you need the threadlock to be fail safe more than you need to exclude water from the body of the Norseman so liberal amounts of silicone seem a bad idea.Is the silicone recommended by Norseman ?

[@harbrbum]

Ss deprived of oxygen corrodes

[@markthomasson5077]

If you leave it open you can spray with lube every now and again

[@sitipie7955]

nice and very useful video..if i may help where can i buy a tool like yours...?

[@JohnWright-fb4db]

Thanks. Very helpful.

[@Halfawoof]

I noticed that you had about 200mm of bare wire above the fitting. Does this allow corrosion?

[@BrentonWalkerSailing]

Hi Chris, The black plastic poly pipe was put in place to help protect the main sail from chaff when sailing downwind. The wire in this video is a back stay on a catamaran. As the wire we are using is 316SS, there is no requirement to prevent contact with the water. That said, corrosion of SS does become a problem when Stainless Steel is starved of oxygen whilst being exposed to moisture, hence why a sealant is placed inside the terminal end to help prevent the ingress of water. Hope this is helpfull.

Recommend watching Drake Paragon's video on rigging. Good stuff.

[@yusufaaron5238]

@Willie Vihaan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@willievihaan6643]

@Yusuf Aaron no problem =)

[@haydngrosvenor4948]

Fix tech is better solution than than silicon I feel

[@firmanbali]

Can i buy it from you?
