Replacing the MOST IMPORTANT PART of a SAILBOAT! Ep 355

With 3 major jobs to be done in the boatyard, we haul out and remove our mast to start the standing rig replacement! www.sailingnandji.com
We got a gnarly ocean in front of us, this year we plan to be sailing some of the most treacherous waters in the world. To do that, it is all in the preparation. We need to make sure our boat is solid and safe. We plan to be replacing one of the most important things on a sailboat. The standing rigging
Through our own records we learnt that Nandji 2's standing rig is 15 years old. The working life of your standing rigging is said to expire at 10 years, with the sailing we plan to have in front of us, this old girl needs a shiny new upgrade to make the boat ready for the ocean.

O my it was so wonderful of the Australian Hamma crew to share video on making your rigging lines! How interesting! Plus to see the delivery at the end of video! So excited for you all!

[@user-gs5zz2do5f]

Why these lovely folk don’t have a million followers is beyond me, we absolutely adore them, thanks for sharing 👏👍❤️❤️❤️

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

As far as I know, the only sailing channel that has over million subs is SLV. About 1.8 Millon. Delos is second with 800K. Next? Nahoa or Wynns? Sailing is a rather niche activity. I follow about 30 channels regularly.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Wow, Thanks so much 😊

[@acptelford1307]

Watch Sailing Florence as a comparison

[@user-gs5zz2do5f]

We are not really interested in comparing channels, we love what we love, these folks are totally relatable and we love it 👍

[@keithbrandon8540]

​@@user-gs5zz2do5fAgree 100%

[@dustylense]

Yosh inspires me to be more through and do it yourself. What a champ. Rugged and sharp as a tack.

[@robfinney9289]

Bonita, I swear to God, you are the best Mom I've ever seen. You should be proud of yourself. Amazing!

[@jamarie1972]

Great job guys, Nandji 2 will be ready for action. All the best to you all from us in England

[@SplashF15E]

Ha. "Spit the dummy", never heard of that one. Had to look it up. Love it.

[@kimmullin4864]

Love it when the old man gets into a project. Your explanations are perfect so even an eighty two non sailor can pretty well understand. Thank you. Oh, and mom as well.

[@MaMa-st2eg]

Wow, So glad you could take care of even the smallest details and have confidence in your boat. Talulah is so happy and learning the importance of teamwork, hard work and doing one's best. She sure is growing up fast....I just smile so big watching her she is adorable ....I am patiently waiting for a grandchild....

[@benshore7357]

Looking good 🎉 I would say that you have for sure done your research on rigging. That will be good peace of mind to have it done 🎉

[@robertnixon3816]

That whole episode is a demonstration of doing a job the right way. Paying attention to all those details will pay off in many ways! Good job Yosh and Bonita! I think you have your hands full Bonita with Tallula in the boat yard. She is busy! Cute beyond words! Carry on! In the final mile in a long , safe passage!👍😊❤️❤️

[@ausi14u]

Mate that rigging is a work of art. It's a good thing you know what you're doing, as complex as shit. You go guys.

[@jackrolfson312]

Bonita I hope you have A happy mother's day, And that you will always have the wind in your sails! Travels to you and your family.

[@barcrusher]

Of all the sailing channels I watch,gotta say you guys are the best.Down to earth,educational,entertaining.Being Aussies and yous 🏄‍♂️ surf helps .Genuinely hope to meet you guys one day. Kept the stoke alive .

[@acptelford1307]

Nice explanation on the rigging. Ta

[@ianprice2298]

That is such a huge job, but is commensurate with it’s importance.

[@creativecutter]

AWESOME EPISODE!!! So VERY Exciting for all the new gear and so VERY VERY odd to see her in the water with NO Mast, Sails, or Rigging. Best of everything to you all 🤩

[@superwag634]

It’s not “braking strain” 2:55 it’s “breaking strength”. Strain is elongation. Best wishes from your friendly mechanical engineer

[@kristaready8812]

So happy to see you getting all this important work done before you take your precious family on a long journey! 🤗💞

[@haroldbevins393]

You're like a child on Christmas morning with all the shiny new stuff for the mast.. lol

[@patrickandmichaela]

That new rigging is going to look so fantastic! Y'all are really making Nandji 2 shine :) We do a lot more sailing (and boat work) these days than watching vids, but still love catching up with your journey ❤

[@FlyBrent]

Thanks!

[@debradelpazzo2619]

Nandji is going to look and handle like a new boat! Can’t wait to see you all back on the open seas on new adventures and making unforgettable memories 😍! Talulla is getting so big and is such a well behaved, happy boat kid and that’s certainly a credit to you and Yosh, Bonita. Looking forward to seeing the “new” updated Nandji II sailing in the next couple of weeks 😀🤞👏!! ❤⛵

[@jonathanscott550]

The mask and the new rigging are going to look fantastic. Thanks for sharing your journey with us .

[@thomasw5430]

Great video. With the family onboard safety is of utmost importance. For a non sailor it’s interesting seeing the engineering part of the masts and what keeps them upright.

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends!!! Nice to see that standing rigging get replaced especially the parts that looked a bit modified. Another great video. Thanks for sharing! Yew!

[@markfoster6110]

20 out of 10 for the hair stylist!! Go Bonita !! That boy has natural beauty.. fantastic team you have .. better get another kid going to help the team .. hi from down under

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

A little spit and elbow grease from the Trident Trio and that mast will soon be sparkling in the Indian Ocean sunlight! Go Legends! And momma trident carefully lookin out for your little one's happy heart shows Soooo much love ❤️. Put some salty water in my eyes - the good kind.👍 xxx

[@TvInspector]

100% agree, you guys should have way more followers 🎉 hardest working family there is and always with a smile 💚

[@steini6771]

Love watching professional workmanship! Great episode (as always). Thank you all -

[@chrisclarke3670]

Great updates on your sailboat. It looks like Nanji should be in good shape for your upcoming sailing plans. Great work and videos.

[@patraic5241]

I'd say the hull is the most important part. The mast and rigging only if you actually want to go anywhere. 😉

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

As we were watching the video ... my accountant husband was interested to know how much all the amazing mast/cable work cost. That boatyard looks fantastic!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

It is not a cheap process!!!!!

[@pablosdog2808]

Wow...much progress! Looking awesome! One thing comes to mind after all the bare handed exposure to liquid chemicals and aluminum....and other bits of toxic materials / irritants. Detox!!!

[@SweetSurrender-qr1ic]

Sweet! you're almost ready to go far and wide for the next 10 years.

[@williammolley6684]

Hello you guy’s ! Luv your videos. Tallulahis growing so fast ! How time flies Question to Josh those wire rope lines as the go into the bottom sleeve would it be a good idea to shrink wrap some rubber around sleeve and wire to stop water getting in the sleeve. Just a thought !! Enjoy the evening cheers

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Good thinking although then you are also trapping the water that gets in. Water will find a way in that is for sure!!!!

[@williammolley6684]

Well ! Without it it’s definitely soaked with sea water when traveling. Then sitting in the hot sun. Probably helps it react to the wire. How about put silicone or something like that on the top of eye bolt and up the wire to where rubber sleeve will stop. Preventing the majority of salt water getting in the knuckle Over years it would stop an enormous amount of salt water getting to the strands in the eye bolt. Again it’s just a thought and maybe every couple years replace the rubber sleeves and re - Silicone. Ok Josh it’s just a thought. You guys have a great day Cheer

[@williammolley6684]

I live on Vancouver island 🏝 Campbell River we see the results of stuff outside living close to the ocean salt water and metal spells rust

[@danstevens5782]

Good job, guys. Stay safe and have fun! Hugs

[@arthurme1911]

Don’t forget to have mom time moms need a break sometimes

[@nickband2072]

Don’t forget the chain plates

[@Mr6599]

Good old WD-40, great!

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Hey capt my theory is there is some 90 year old lady who has your sunglasses while you are wearing hers. 🤓

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We can only hope 🤞

[@ianpledge3891]

Outstanding work

[@darrenykema979]

You want shit done, get an Aussie Well done on the rigging Don't forget to place your coin when you step the mast

[@Lana_Warwick]

Was anticipating the title to be pun for replacing the toilet. I believe "the most important part" is a suitable anchor. Considering all this & previous work/cost, might have been a good opportunity to modify to external chain plates (prior to renovating the deck). Some Dyneema Stays would have reduced top end weight.

Did the episode cut short after the wires came out?

[@beckygunn7014]

Enjoyed the video, as always. Such a sweet family ❤ The ending was a bit abrupt, did something happen to the download?

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

SWEEET

[@joshsheedy7383]

❤

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

🤩

[@markosterman9815]

Did you inspect / replace the chain plates? The only part of my rigging that actually failed was a chain plate that broke just below the deck surface.

[@Lana_Warwick]

Recommended to replace them every 10 years, but few do 🤷‍♀

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

I love this Tayana. My dream boat would have a heel-stepped mast. Love you guys! Yosh, Y look great in those are sexy tortoise-shell sunnys. 😎Safe travels. ❤

[@lhollybow]

You need a haircut Lucy. Good info on the mast , stays , and everything Josh.

[@walterwinn2842]

Abrupt ending guys 😮

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

It ties in with the next one 😉⛵️

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, Nandji looks so naked without her mask anyway it’s good to see you’re doing a good thing looking after the old girl and she’s back on the water where she belongs cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia

[@erichoffman8671]

please don't take this comment the wrong way because i think everything you guys do whether on the water or on the hard is great content but have you ever added up all the time you've spent out of the water since the first time you sailed just very curious

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

No we haven’t, but you can’t have a Boat without the work. Unless your rich

[@MrRedeoarknot]

What would something like this cost?

[@superwag634]

Last time I quoted hamma wire for my boat, it came to over $10,000. Fititings of chrome plated bronze from ronstan that much again. So around $20,000

[@micheldawes1]

Hey guys, long-time subscriber and haven't commented for quite a while, but have just been watching this episode and Yoshi, something at the 6:30 mark concerned me big-time! The mark on your right jaw-line, just below your ear-lobe. If you haven't already had it checked, BY A REPUTABLE SKIN SPECIALIST, HERE IN AUSTRALIA, please get it checked out! I'm just about to get more of a melanoma on my back cut out, after the biopsy revealed that 'they' (Skin specialists) didn't get it all! Yoshi, I'm like you, spent all my life in the surf and have worked on boats (Recreationally and commercially) since I was in my teenage years, so my skin is rooted! (Constantly getting chunks cut out of me...) It only takes one mark on your skin to turn cancerous and your pretty much toast. Please do it and get a second opinion soon after, it could make all the difference! Cheers, Mick, from Avalon NSW (P.S. Lovin' your episodes! Quality content!!!)
