SNAPPED Thruhull and Taking on Water Sailors NIGHTMARE

[@sarahtyster7342]

It's rare for me to be as realistic as your videos make me - much as this is going to be a great boat, omg the amount of work, is stunning. it's doable, but it's a LOT. and unlike many viewers I totally cannot see myself doing this now as I'm too old, but honestly I could never have gotten through it without getting overwhelmed and not finishing. that's the key isn't it, it's a marathon not a sprint. etc. it's an elephant, a teaspoon at a time. so MAKE SURE YOU CELEBRATE ALL THE WINS, including this one, or you'll grind yourself down dude? excellent dealing with crisis. etc. thanks.

Dude, this video was KILLER!!! I'm happy for you man, this ship will get you goin' on your goals to sail around the world. Kudos to your electrical work!

[@Nerd3927]

Excellent job on the wiring panel! Very nice and tidy!

[@Morrisfactor]

Wow - that broken thru hull has to have a pucker factor of 10! Glad you got the new one in and that you will replace ALL the rest of them on your next haul out.

[@patrickmartin2826]

You are so lucky, you are living my dream for me, thanks for the great video.

[@ttriff9892]

Great job, Simon!!!!!

[@dmmaddex]

I was as relieved as you , when you plugged that leak.

[@backwoodsentertainment358]

It's really good to see you having a purpose. Reminds me of when you first got old dog...I really miss the original old dog 😢

[@SimonElenor]

Always carry suction cups! Throw one on the outside and it will stem the flow if not stop it!

[@Kerry_CYWG]

trick maybe, for temp, plug for is to also use good old wax toilet gaskets to jam into the plug and rags used. Cheap water ingress emergency supplies.

Finding Simon

[@theroguelesstravelled9042]

Well it’s certainly an eventful life your having Simon :D

[@OhhellTiff]

We have the same flavor of anxiety 🎉. Excited to see the rest of this build.

[@GalbraithDesmond]

This reminds me of having to rewire my little 25 foot Tanzer. I thought maybe one afternoon - pfft. Took a week.

[@ThePjl110]

As Gilda Radner used to say, ' it's always something' ! And she never owned a boat! :-)

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Water outside of boat...good Water inside of boat...bad! Mission accomplished!

[@findingsimon]

These are the simple rules I live by

[@NexusTrimean]

Mission Accomplished! You are no longer actively Sinking!

[@swollensquirrel8275]

“Today I’m wearing my brown pants” 😂 Good move

[@findingsimon]

Come prepared, for every eventuality.

[@MatthewBradley1]

You’re really making a splash with this project. You should probably rewire everything to ABYC spec. Future Simon will be happy you did.

[@findingsimon]

Yeah I’m coming to that realization the deeper I dig. Can’t really keep anything

[@jolly1084]

I think you handled that well. I would have panicked 😆

[@findingsimon]

after you've been at it long enough, it stops overwhelming you. I don't know if that's healthy but hey

[@Roger-lf6ln]

Expansion plugs.personally if I was sailing I would stock them just an idea

[@Roger-lf6ln]

Like on most smaller boats.We use them in our radiator shop and they can handle extreme pressure

[@findingsimon]

Thanks, I'll be sure to pick some up!

[@sudoboat]

try a headlamp. You're welcome ;)

[@bryrensexton4618]

🤘!!!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

$1 boat... nothing more expensive!!! Happy day to what will someday be a fine voyager of a sailboat... keep bungs and hammer handy always is lesson learned. Is Flossie still editing for you? because the videos are far more professional and enjoyable now.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Mostly...ha!

[@findingsimon]

It’s all we can ask right now

[@initdeit]

Never realized how much or how hard we use our big toes until I broke one myself. 0/10 funs

[@findingsimon]

Do not recommend

[@PrettyOkayAtBoats]

Definitely seems like you’d like to rewire the whole boat, but don’t want to do it. Future you would love it if you redid it all probably…

[@findingsimon]

I’m looking at laying conduit too. So yeah it’s all getting replaced.
