SV Triteia Finally Splashes after being on the hard & Camille gives an offering of Rum to Poseidon

[@tartansailor]

Yes indeed, Launching, hauling out and mast work are always stressful, job well done, Cheers, Rivchard

[@UUBrahman]

James you just gave that boat a whole new life - good looking too.

[@greenwaveproductions6991]

Well done, guys! You’re so inspiring and a joy to watch.

[@maatje4]

Great work!! Fair winds and following seas for you great people!!!

[@davidbrymer1230]

Solid work! Your passion to make it all happen is impressive.

[@sollasollew3208]

Well done guys!

[@guyfox68]

Great job getting all that work done in 5 weeks. Bet it is nice to have the boat back in the water. Now time for some more great adventures.

[@SailorJames]

Such a relief

[@thejourneyofmalu3495]

5 weeks on the hard? Sounds like heaven. My complete and total refit has taken 15 months so far with probably 3 more to go. I’m sooo jealous.

[@SailorJames]

Our refit is into year 3, just the bottom haul out took 5 weeks, I feel ya though

[@thejourneyofmalu3495]

Sailor James we’ll your boat is looking good. Hopefully I’m not far behind you...

[@SailorJames]

You’ll get there !!!

[@redwood1957]

Found you two watching utube on TV . Had to put u on my phone good job

[@tedfaber]

Enjoy your fruits of your labor

[@randywarren6925]

Congratulations guys 🎉. You put in alot of hard work 5 weeks might seem like a long time but it's finished go enjoy her. Again congrats 👏.

[@danknox9986]

Happy for you guys.

[@jerrylynch5611]

Looks great folks, love your work!

[@paulhudson4481]

Great video as always, straight up and no bullshit

[@petergeen2198]

I’ve always found haul out guys to be very obliging and helpful. I think they understand the pressure skippers go through at such times.. Enjoy the extra few knots you’ll get for a while, it will be quite noticeable.. ⚓️

[@SailorJames]

It has been dreamy !

[@orm865]

Thats awesome the boats in the water, I remember seeing it in the yard

[@phillipobrien7365]

Shit-hot !! Enjoy the fruit of your labour. Hope all goes well.

[@mattdabney4109]

Awesome video

[@Cruiser2B]

How did you know or why did replace stern tube? I own A30 #248 , she a 1967. Anyway, thank you in advance and job well done!!!!

[@SailorJames]

Because my stern tube was just a cutlass bearing someone had welded a bronze plate to, making it impossible to change the cutlass bearing without having a new custom stern tube made.

[@Cruiser2B]

@SailorJames thank you...I'm pulling my boat in a few weeks...looks like there is some seepage down by the stuffing box, but shaft seems dry...your videos have been helpful

[@garygreen9824]

WAY COOL ! SAILS UP !

[@davidnelson3411]

You guys worked hard but with all that time out of the water it seems like you would have had the time to paint the bildge before you put the new shaft and seal in. Great video.

[@SailorJames]

The bilge was painted two years ago, just needs a wipe down

[@Viralvid2024]

Is that dripless still in action, or have you had to replace it by now (four years later)?

[@SailorJames]

Zero problems ever

[@Viralvid2024]

@@SailorJames that's encouraging. I have zero experience with this dripless seal and surprisingly there's nobody else in my Marina using one so you are the only one I know of that has used it for this long and have had good luck with it! Thanks again for taking the time to respond and spread the knowledge with a less experienced guy on the path where you once stood yourself. I appreciate you brother, stay safe out there!

[@richardgooding498]

Love the black and gold color scheme but what about the brown wood. Lol. You guys did a great job

[@SailorJames]

Not sure what you are talking about

[@richardgooding498]

@@SailorJames I was just referencing black and gold from football. That's all. You guys are great. Looking forward to your next adventure

[@tl32246]

Hey guys enjoying your feeds. What year and model is your boat?

[@SailorJames]

1965 Alberg 30 - Hull #55

[@tl32246]

Thanks!!

[@tl32246]

She’s beautiful!!

[@Hindukushsailing]

Sweet!! How did you like that Festool Hepa filter system on the sanders?

[@SailorJames]

They are amazing, the boatyard requires them and we were able to borrow two of them from friends for the haul out

[@alvin1984fiji]

Hey..just noticed...your thru holes were not bonded to ground ..any reason not to do it

[@SailorJames]

Bonding thruhulls has been proven to be very dangerous, it basically links all of your fittings meaning that if there is a stray electrical current in your marina it can cause corrosion on every fitting. When they are not bonded the are naturally isolated.

[@SailorJames]

Some sailing channel on KZbin zingo or something? Just live streamed his boat sinking because he installed all plastic thruhulls to save money and one of them broke off, might look into what type he had before you go with plastic, I would never have anything but bronze ever myself
