Rigging Our Sailboat (Part 2 of 3)- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 62.

[@gutto192]

A necessary stop for maintenance. Go Delos!

[@HELLHAMMER1605]

You all are truly an inspiration! I've always wanted to retire, buy a sailboat, and travel the coastlines. Thanks for sharing your experience, it has been an honor to watch and gain a better understanding of what my future holds. Everyone on Delos past and present are all awesome in my opinion, but Brian, i'm sure you must get this all the time,... You are exceptionally amazing to watch, listen too, and learn from. Thank you for keeping my dream alive! Happy sailing, I can't wait for episode 63!

[@svdelos]

+Matt Hood Cool Matt, thanks so much for that. Really appreciate your positive comments and happy to hear you're getting something out of this amazing experience as well. We just posted 63 at patreon.com/svdelos today so should be released on KZbin this Friday. Fair Winds! Brian

[@mgs8747]

Rewatching this series. I admire your spirit. The heat there is quite a lot to bear. We were there a few years ago. Walked right down the same dock. You guys make me smile every video. Thanks.

[@talon4x4]

Merry Christmas guys and gals!!!! What an awesome gift to all your fans. Or at least I was super excited to wake up to an alert of a new video on this morning.

[@Chris-dp3rp]

Nice Work Guys, it is good to see other sweating down south as well. Is not all way paradise but can always be fun in the right company

[@tysons1851]

What you do with maintenance allows you to do what you do. Me too. Make it happen, Captain.

[@somedaysailor7913]

Well I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for inspiring me to someday get my own boat. Thanks for making me spend all my time on Craigslist and YachtWorld looking at used sailboats. Thanks for sending me down a path that requires I educate myself on a wide variety of subjects. Thanks for making me rethink what I really want. Thanks for giving all us land lovers a taste of what real freedom is. Lastly, thank you for giving me something to look forward too every two weeks. In a crazy world where Kardashians are popular, it is nice to see genuine people sharing true reality! You guys Rock! Merry Christmas!

[@svdelos]

+Someday Sailor Right on man, appreciate that message. Wanted to with you the most awesome of New Years and best of luck in your future plans. Brian

[@teddykgb3865]

I think I enjoy the "fixing stuff" episodes more than the "seeing stuff" episodes. Great work guys!

[@1450JackCade]

Yeah, Brian is a bad ass. "Well the mast didn't fall over. I was pretty sure it wouldn't."

[@mikeskor6230]

This process of changing the rigging seems amazingly complicated. Kudos for attempting it. I like how the crew are all pitching in. Thanks for the pics showing what each piece of rigging is.

[@pete49327]

Having watched all the 60+ videos more than once, I thought I would find these rig replacement videos boring, but not the case at all. I guess I am hooked now and vicariously feel like part of the crew. Very interesting can not deny. Thumbs up, way up, thank you.

[@svdelos]

+pete49327 Cool, thanks for that! Really appreciate the comment. Fair Winds! Brian

[@Buck1954]

Working on your own rig (whatever it is) is always more satisfying than letting someone else do the work. Plus, you know where the problem lay, and possibly how to fix it it quicker. I have always marveled at the old sailors of the wooden vessel days hauling their vessels onto the beach and rolling them over to get at damage.

[@johnfife3062]

You guys made my Christmas day! Big hugs and many thanks. Your Frenchie at Rolly Tasker is an epic hero for showing you and us how it's done. Much love to him, too.

[@svdelos]

+John Fife Ha Ha David was really awesome. A totally cool dude to teach us a few things. Happy Holidays! Brian

[@mearcat74]

Very game Company that made your new rig, thanks and fair winds,

[@TheSchwillKing]

It's content like this that really sets you guys apart. I'm sure we all appreciate the T&A we get to see blurred out. For the sailors and boat fiends we love to see what it actually takes to own a boat. This is definitely one of my favorite episodes.

[@wildaltarose]

I am amazed that you have taken on this project....you are incredible Brian!

[@gunjunky7520]

It's videos like these that make your channel really stand out. Very educational and we'll put together. Thanks guys!

[@vanialeonard7731]

I can't believe how easily you figure out what needs to be done. So cool.

[@oruwatching]

Brian, I've said it before, the repair work you guys do is amazing. That was a job well done by everyone.

[@robertorzech2466]

Wow I can't believe that guy used that grinder without eye protection . Great video , Loved every minute of it. Can't wait for part 3.

[@svdelos]

+Robert Orzech Ha Ha yeah, Thailand and Asia in general is pretty funny sometimes. Fair Winds! Brian

[@ronabernathy6568]

It's amazing how whatever happens to break, Brian figures it out and fixes it and doesn't looses it.

[@FreeAmerica-sc9hu]

Amazing filming. Perfect film school material.

[@Mg-nx2cv]

Again, always amazed at how nobody shows snippiness to each other in these confines. I realize most of it is editing but, really, never see anyone get short with another.

[@rknielsen100]

I admire all of you delos. I have a 22ft sailboat. I am new to the fixing of boat things and have more confidence seeing you guys do this. thank you for your videos, and taking the time to show us the cool parts.

[@svdelos]

+Robert Nielsen Right on Robert, my first boat was a Catalina 22. All the same stuff, just a little bigger on Delos.... Fair Winds and thanks for watching- Brian

[@hocbao]

Great video! I like all your videos. But, I especially enjoyed the technical nature of this one. If it doesn't bore your subscribers too much I'd like to see more technical information about cruising - how do you navigate; how do you monitor the weather; how do you trim the sails, etc. I have always been impressed with Brian's ability to manage the technical elements of cruising. Please share more. Thanks!

[@svdelos]

+Hocbao Cool thanks for that! More of these coming so stay tuned :) Fair Winds- Brian

[@dickydaly]

Excellent work, I never travel without tools, even in my airplane, mechanical stuff is exciting and you save a ton of cash That probably saved you guys a month or more of cruising cash

[@brians48now]

Very cool video guys. It's going better than I thought it would but sounds like the next episode will be interesting. Stay safe and good luck.

[@heathermcarthur3164]

Great job illustrating the rigging removal. I'm not a sailor but I'm a tradesman. I can appreciate a well planned job. "plan your work, work your plan"

[@sumnerwaite6390]

Well said

[@drx1xym154]

nice to see the 'other' side of sailing ... yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

[@billyabroad8057]

You ladies and gents never cease to amaze me with your dedication and imagination. Long may it continue!

[@JGCBarnett]

Yay new vid to watch while I am at work today!! Merry Christmas Delos crew!

[@danielmoss2394]

You guys are f*&king machines! Awesome job boys. Having fun going back to watch from the beginning.

[@deonbrugmann7547]

I really like watching the repair work. such a big part of the journey. Brian is such an inspiration to stay calm and push through the unknown.

[@SVELFARO]

Thanks, and Merry Christmas

[@jamesdillon3320]

Great job guys and girls!! Very interesting to see hands on and behind the scenes. Just great information and experience for future projects. Stay cool, happy safe and well and keep us entertained! Great job! Oh and Bryan, you are a friggin McGyver machine! Good on ya! Jamie

[@merkindonor9039]

Merry Christmas!

[@MikeKrumbs]

This was an incredibly fun episode to watch. How cool to see the entire process, and a ton of appreciation to the master riggers allowing your crew to not only use their space, but to patiently show you the way. This was an awesome episode!

[@FrankTibbetts]

Merry Christmas from Nova Scotia, Brian and Delos crew, fair winds.

[@williamtell985]

I really enjoyed watching this process. So 18 cables 10k dollars. So it's like about 5500 per cable. This is all very inportatnt stuff for anyone thinking of getting a big boat like yours. Thank you for this valuable video !! Cheers

[@JCrook1028]

Um............may want to recheck that math.............. and knock it down 10x.....

[@justfly2525]

Awesome.... Thanks for the little drawings of how the rigging goes together! Great job as always...

[@jimmieusaf-pol2639]

All these videos are so addicting to watch...and after watching enough of them, the Delos family feels like family to me, even though they have no idea who I even am. Such a good job on all the videoing and editing...it feels like being there without the smells, heat, problems to solve and hot sweaty work...but watching the process is very entertaining. I feel your pain with the heat...after many trips being deployed to the Middle East, working 12-14 hr days...you just do what you've got to do, to get done what you've got to get done...and hydrate somewhere in there as much as possible.

[@iainholder8785]

Very interesting. Loved it.

[@drjuluka]

Fascinating, educational, wonderful work!

[@jmb1805]

Karin: "I'm sweating my balls off here." LOL. 😂

[@michaelmcnair007]

There is so much crap on "TV" these days. I love watching you all. Good luck. Happy sailing!

[@dtonvista]

That is really cool, I already know you are in South Africa, so all the work must have been good this is a great learning experience video, cannot what to see more! Doug

[@daverunner3397]

Brian you work like a beast brother!

[@ShawnMichael121277]

Another great video. Keep it up.

[@castaway123100]

Great video, guys!

[@tommoss7223]

Another great video guys. You continue to inspire me. Not only do you demonstrate the guts to tackle a project that most would leave to experts but you work as a team and take the whole world along as well. Well done!

[@Mr1jimmer]

There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves...May Peace be your gift, and your blessing all year round!!!!.... Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas....

[@svdelos]

+Jim Holt Hey Thanks very much Jim, wishing you the happiest of holidays! Brian

[@knut761]

Merry Christmas to all of you and to all of you tuning in I hope you get to have a great Christmas holiday!

[@starringchristopher]

love you guys...... fantastic odyssey!!!! thank you!!

[@ColinCren]

So impressed you guys are so game to try these things on your own.

[@escope1959]

The captain went up the mast. WTF? That was really cool to see how the rigging is put together. Thanks guys for another great episode...

[@dbjamaica4520]

Thank you. Fascinating and informative!

[@cloudstreet100]

Thank you SV/Delos! Perfect timing for me as I also own SV/CloudStreet, a 2001 Super Maramu. Currently in the Bahamas and getting ready to climb my mast for the first time to replace some lights. Your close up of the top of the mast gave me a great view of the block & tackle so now I'm sure which line I'll use as the main and which for the safety. Just had my 14 yr old standing rigging replaced by Nance & Underwood in Fort Lauderdale this past June. That was so interesting to see the shop at Rolly Tasker and the swaging process. We love your videos and look forward to crossing paths someday. Merry Christmas & Safe travels!

[@svdelos]

+Joe Nance Hey Joe- Very cool, glad to hear that! Hope to cross paths with you someday as well. Happy Holidays! Brian

[@roadracer4life]

Very cool guys.. I know It cost bunches but I am a huge do it yourself type person.. I love all the technical stuff in this video.. Merry Christmas everyone..

[@undrasta1010]

more addicting then Netflix to watch you guys

[@DaveNoyesrealestate]

Merry Christmas Delos crew! Thank you for rekindling my cruising dreams.

[@jerryharlan4060]

Wow, what a job

[@Taisen_Des]

Josje's face (mixture of curiosity, wonder and satisfaction, when she becomes a rigger woman in the $100,000 swaging machine): priceless. For everything else there’s MasterCard. ;-)

[@charlie.charles]

"they slide out of each other smoothly"! You Boys!! hahah

[@luminosity2083]

Love the team work. Good episode.

[@paulogorab7047]

Hey guys, have a Great Xmas!! Thanks for you videos! See you next year!!!!

[@Flipperwi715]

Merry Christmas to the crew. Thanks many many times form this person in the Wisconsin cold. You always make me smile.

[@penguindh]

really ace vid on so many levels, really informative, well put together with the rigging diagrams, great communication of the heat and difficult working environment (must have cursed the camera at times when you were hot and tired) and smooth, relaxed banta between you all. really wonderful.

[@svdelos]

+Chris Houston Right on Chris, thanks so much and happy to hear you enjoyed. Part 3 coming out in just a few days so stay tuned! Brian

[@karenwilliams2380]

I always enjoy the great videos you post. I love the music and narration. What a great group of sailing friends, Hope you all had a nice Christmas. Looking forward to following all of Delos adventures : )

[@svdelos]

+Karen Williams Thanks very much Karen- wishing you happy holidays and an awesome New Year! Brian

[@kleinbiker1]

I've watched most of your videos at this point and I never realized how much of a gap there was between filming and posting video here on You tube. Keep up the good work!

[@svdelos]

+Chris Knapp Yeah, we're about 9 months behind..... Mostly because we try to put a lot of love into them, and of course we're sailing more than editing of course! The good news is we have some really great footage to work through :) Fair Winds and thanks for watching! Brian

[@DDixon3121]

Once again you've published a wonderful video that not only is entertaining but educational as well. Although I've sailed for forty years and worked for a sailboat dealer as a rigger while in college, I had never heard of Rolly Tasker. What an impressive company; I checked out their website and although I support local sail makers, I'll definitely ask for a quote the next time I need a sail or rigging replacement. Your reminder to check rigging was great as well. And now for a confession: I'm not a financial contributor to Delos because I own and sail my boat on a tight budget but you're dedication and professionalism in sharing your adventures and challenges continues to tug at my wallet. One more note: it's Christmas morning here and it was wonderful finding your new video...your timing was perfect....thanks for the gift.

[@Ivanator-21]

I was in Thailand a few years back and this brings back great memories. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's Delos crew. You guys are awesome!!!

[@svdelos]

+Ivan O Hey Ivan- Happy New Years to you as well! Brian

[@MrTatts64]

Merry Christmas guys and great work!!

[@SailingSVEasy]

Merry Christmas from SV EASY to you all. Thanks for the instructive video and all the previous videos which help me getting through the non-sailing season at the Baltic Sea coast in northern Germany. Keep up your good spirits and good luck.

[@patm8844]

Merry Christmas Delos & Good Health!

[@kestrelfeather]

Good work you guys and gals, you're a good team, you should be proud. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! Safe sailing!

[@fowlerflap2443]

Extremely impressed!

[@MrPaddy1000111]

I love these technical videos. Im watching all the series from the start but the technical bits are amazing!

[@jacquestardif5848]

Merry Christmas from Ontario Canada!

[@LaurenKellyPianoLessons]

It's so amazing and blows my mind how you guys are so capable of doing so much of this on you own. Brian, you're a master!!! Brady too. Such capable people - so inspiring!

[@Ilsabug1]

Thanks for posting. This is in our very near future. Thankfully we only have 2 stays and 6 shrouds.

[@svdelos]

+Michael Howell Sugar Magnolia Oh man lucky you should be much less work then. Fair Winds! Brian

[@trackerkan]

I've never been more convinced to only own sloops after watching this video.

[@JCrook1028]

If you learn anything from Delos is that this exact style boat is what you want for a safe comfortable cruiser. :)

[@safethamzagic7226]

wtf delos cant stop watching you guys....im gonna have to buy yiu guys beer no two ways about it

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

Simply Fascinating!!! ... watching you guys & GALS truly confirms how pathetic & uneventful my life is. 2015 has been one of the worse years on record for me (now EX destroying my life), but woke up this Christmas morning with this great video as my favorite & only gift, .... Merry Christmas to all on SV Delos!

[@svdelos]

+Anybody But Hillary 2016 Oh no, so sorry to hear that but 2016 is almost here and hopefully things will be looking up for you in the New Year. Wishing you a kick-ass 2016! Brian

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

SV Delos Sailing thanks my friend.

[@thomaspc2]

This was a nice xmas present to wake up to

[@TheGstip]

Living vicariously thru the crew, love it.

[@andrewfelcey3928]

been waiting for this one!! big balls but bigger Brain's .Merry Christmas .good luck.

[@myogdenrow]

We are very impressed with what you guys are capable of ... looking forward to seeing the project completed. Bud

[@jamieosh70]

Really interesting and great to see boat work videos too :)

[@sm94126]

hi guys Thank you very much for your lovely video. It's a pleasure to follow you adventure. Mary Christmas and Happy new year from Sandro (Italy)

[@svdelos]

+sm94126 Hey Sandro- Happy Holidays from Delos! Brian

[@johnnyg8105]

Pro job guys on all fronts

[@DownInTheIslands]

I just replaced all my standing rigging. Its was nice to see how they press the swage fittings.

[@sjur2108]

Thank you once again. Fair winds and a happy new year of sailing 2016, from Norway!

[@johnh.8906]

Great video Brian and Crew! You all sure as hell know a lot more about rigging now hay. GREAT SKILLS TO HAVE. Do-it-yourselves, thats the way to go on a boat. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone. John Huntley B.C. Canada

[@stevengagnon4197]

Merry Christmas guys! Great job on the rigging. I'm sure you have that little more pride for your floating home when you do it yourself! I definitely learned something about rigging today when looking for a used boat. Good thing nothing happened to your forestay. Obviously you made the right call to change the rigging before your Indian Ocean crossing. Looking forward to the next video!!

[@jamesvanriper6334]

Frida and Max getting a lot of work in, rather than a sailing adventure so far.

[@bradkuether3561]

Awesome video. I am exceptionally pleased, got exactly what I wanted. Kudos to you guys for the DIY. Sorry you had to leave the marina. When Brady was dripping grease on the VERY CLEAN dock, I was like, wonder if that is gonna get them in trouble. Sure nuff. Can't wait for the third one. Also looking forward to your crossing of the Indian Ocean.

[@mobiltec]

I wondered about that. Many marinas did not allow us to work on our boat except for washing and basic cleaning. Hope it all works out well. Happy holidays to you all.

[@joez9839]

It amazes me how absolutely reliant you are on electrics. I realize it allows you to sail a bigger boat, but we lived on a Columbia 26 MKII for 15 years and I chose the boat because for my wife it wouldn't be an overwhelming challenge. We had the room of a 30' boat in a 26' package. And whether it was sails or anchor, she could muscle things through. Don't get me wrong. I'm not being critical. And I'm not anti-technology by any means.

[@tristanmiller9571]

lol congrats?

[@ALiquidLife]

Excellent video Mates! I just watched the video on my boat in the freezing Boxing Day weather. New rig is going on the Golden Hind in a few months before cast off for the Solomon Isls next spring! Glad you chose the personal inspection and replacement. That proves you are the master of the ship.

[@svdelos]

+A Liquid Life Oh cool, Solomon Islands. One of our favorite places! Say hi to the PT-109 Bar in Ghizo :) Happy Holidays! Brian

[@chopped27]

Very cool to receive this on Christmas morning. I love watching your videos and checking out all the cool places where you guys go. What an incredible experience you are living. Keep it up be safe and Merry Christmas to you all.

[@MicahMelnyk]

Love learning with you guys, thanks!
