TESTING THE BEST ANCHORING SETUP IN THE WORLD! 👀 - (Episode 274)

[@davidfisher268]

I am a retired old fart who has been restoring an MGA over the past 5 years, starting with a new to me frame. I can appreciate your moments of doubt in your own repairs, so important to get it right the first time and somewhat rewarding when you do! You and your team are an inspiration .

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Nice David, I restored a 1966 Triumph Spitfire, removable hard top.. Found it on a farm vines, damaged rear but ran after battery / clean gas / found a pcv cover someone used a dunkin donut coffee lid elec. tape wrap.. BTW oil had none just water.. cut oak tree dried it 7 months used for the dash, and door panels..

[@davidbenji1]

What is an MGA?

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

@@davidbenji1 MGA is a British sports car that MG manufactured from 1955 to 1962. The MGA was a significant break from tradition for MG, with a contemporary design that differed from the pre-war T-Type cars. The MGA had flowing lines and was available in two-door roadster and coupe body styles. MGA is one of the most iconic British classic cars great car to drive,, like a go-cart but bigger faster

[@terryandhope]

Sounds like a great car. My brother in law passed away last year but he loved MGs.

[@sundance2005]

Rechecking your work is not lack of confidence, it's smart. As you pointed out about the fuel pump, even the expert can make mistakes.

[@ParlayRevival]

yea I've lost count of how many times I've screwed up!

[@tatman8240]

Wow ​man. I agree. The process is what got us the light bulb. Everything I have seen all of you over the past few years is discovering that limiting factor.

[@JIMPETERSON-n7i]

And how big of that expert (regardless of mitigating variables) to admit to making a mistake! Far too many are f-a-r too eager to blame anyone except themselves when things go wrong. :(

[@antc5010]

Yes, always check your work no matter the experience level. But I'm surprised the injector shaft key was not more robust / positive in terms of fit like a woodruff key. Either it's lined up and fits or its out. That could have been spotted when it was removed and the original put back in place. Clearly the original pump has a better key. Good work getting back in the water with everything dry.

[@corycollier]

came here to say this! :)

[@jimbeekhuizen423]

Jamie cracked me up at 20:25 while installing the solar panel. Love his sense of humor.

[@danfadden]

Colin’s empathy for Cory is how everyone should be. The world would be a better place with more Colins around.

[@hempandseaweed]

Man I love polished bright work. Congrats on the nice anchor setup.

[@ParlayRevival]

Its pretty nice right!

[@hempandseaweed]

@@ParlayRevival 100%. And Happy Birthday to Britt!

[@sergealary9756]

Whoa, what an episode. So much going on! You guys and gals make me laugh. Another great cliff hanger into next week ;P

[@victoriasmith1897]

Wow I had no idea how much work you were doing in Whangarei. AND you still made time for the Patreon meeting. Sooo many gadgets and tools on Parlay now. Fantastic! I have watched Parlay for years and so enjoyed it. You helped me get through the Pandemic, but now knowing and loving you makes watching the video's so much more important and enjoyable. Love you guys!

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks Victoria! We miss you!

[@srhintz]

It's cool that your Pops was able to be part of the boat build and leave a physical reminder that he was there with you. Good memories.

[@Farmnflyin]

No such thing as someone who doesn’t make mistakes. You know someone is good when they own up to their mistakes

[@barbaralane9825]

Nice - Jamie for the bunny ears win 🐰

[@ParlayRevival]

hey barbara! you ad Jim going to be at annapolis show?

[@doggonedk]

It's always great to watch you and Jamie work together. You two are like a well-oiled machine You've worked together for so long each one knows what the other doing. And I know Jamie plays it down, but he's one sharp dude. Great video can't wait to see what happens next week.

[@zx1100a1]

Hey Colin, those load sensors are pretty dang cool.

[@ParlayRevival]

Yea yet to really test them but so far so good!

[@juergenzenner4219]

Reunion with you 2 dogs coming soon. They will be so happy to be back on board!!!

[@rickburton72]

Man I love this channel I always look forward to waking up Sunday morning to you guys you bring so much joy to my Sundays love guys

[@johndw66]

That was a fun night in Auckland, boat show was good too.

[@ParlayRevival]

Yea was well worth the drive down!

[@ceramicnurse]

One of the things I enjoy about these “dealing with boat repairs” videos is the new ideas they spawn for fellow boat owners. Always captivating! 🧠⛵️

[@gailbernhart1389]

Glad you’re doing what you can to keep Parlay and it’s crew safe! Have you heard about Sailing La Vagabond’s structural issues?!

[@soggybottom3463]

Damn, but Riley looks a little pissed. I'd say he has pretty bloody good reason. Plans are great, but if your intallers are lowest bidder.....They better sort him out. New, very high profile owner? Hull #1? You price that shyyyte in. Or go out of business.

[@bobram94]

Happy birthday, Brit!! Welcome back Barb, hope you enjoy Fiji as much as i love it. I'm glad the timing issue was resolved and was not an issue with the engine itself. As a mechanic, if we don't dout our work, we're not doing our jobs correctly as my Master Mechanic used to say during my apprenticeship. Keeps you from making too many mistales, and preparsd for when shit happens. Could their be another upgrade in the future to hydroregenerarion or wind turbines? Not sure about the practicality of doing so. Have a great week and can't wait to see you guys in Fiji.

[@leosarrade8995]

Well, I know I don’t typically do my best work hung over, haha. Glad it was figured out and resolved. Nothing broke, so it’s all good!

[@ParlayRevival]

I think none of us are at our best hungover haha

Happy 32nd Birthday Britt! I wish you many more! 🎈🎈🎈🎂🎈🎈

[@zmanindy]

Cool seeing you so stoked about having everything ship shape. Safe sailing.

[@gyzmopower7599]

You guys somehow make boat repairs look interesting with useful sharing of tips and tricks. Enjoy them nearly as much as the sailing adventures. Love the new fender covers they look super heavy duty.

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Colin, well done on a very brief but necessary word about mental health. By the way, the police officer that pulled me over did not think it was necessary to push my car engine all out. I told him Colin said it was necessary. Needless to say, we are not friends.

[@soggybottom3463]

😅 Try to perform this essential maintenance out of sight of special needs observers next time 😂

[@whalleyish]

Happy Birthday Brit

[@donaldhauptmann1533]

I always look forward to your weekend updates!!

[@Віталій-життєвий]

Congratulations Colin and the Parlay Revivаl team, have a good trip.

[@lionelubc]

Still requesting the directors cut (1 hour long) for each of the past 3 videos 😁 Especially the through hulls. After the misery we experienced doing them on our Yamaha 30, it's nice to watch someone else and imagine how it could all go smoothly.

[@caliaccarino4416]

Your work videos should be instructional videos! Good to see the care you guys take to make sure things run properly.

[@ParlayRevival]

haha we can only try!

[@paulrhame9634]

Another great video. As a retired navy man and shipyard worker. I appreciate all the work and upgrades you are always putting into Parlay. Great job as always.

[@Lifeat90]

Mate your doing it..big shout out from australia.im going to build a cat in the near future.apart from everything you have achieved.from 1 normal person to another.im proud of you and Jamie 👍

[@wildaltarose]

I am totally useless when it comes to motors, however every time you fix something I learn a little bit more. So now I have a tiny bit of knowledge about thru hulls as well. it’s so nice to Have Brit and Barb back. Happy Birthday Brit 🧁

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

I'm looking forward to more Cyclops load sensors data. 👍 Getting a keyway off by 5°, while a bit foggy, is a bummer. Admitting your error is commendable. Live and learn. Thanks for sharing.🫡

[@AlbertDBurch]

Great to see you guys back on the water again. Be safe and God bless 🙏🙏 I enjoy watching your adventures.

[@soggybottom3463]

Boss, I am a city and guilds plumber. We have all been humbled sooooooooo many times that nothing is taken for granted...Everyone gets leaks. The difference between a pro and an amateur is that the pro doesn't panic, and has a back up plan, Tranquillo.......👍

As per usual another great video. Thanks to you Colin and your crew for such great times. Being in my 70's I appreciate al your work. You take me with you so I can enjoy all the trips, the problems and the smooth sailing.

[@danadawson4381]

Great content and even better sound track.....so vicarious...

[@arnoldbogya3181]

This channels true strenght is all the repairs and restorations, it makes it stand out among others. Everyone can`t be La Vagabonde even if something happened there aswell that shows how low quality the boat builds are from the factories.

[@davidkenny3611]

Keep an eye on your stainless steel chain. My observations over the years is that the stainless chain hardens and the links fracture. The most recent pictures of stainless steel chain I have were for a commercial catamaran that after 18 months not some but metres of the chain links were fractured. The chain didn't fail but the pictures make for interesting viewing.

[@sailingmurdina]

Parlay is looking in brilliant shape and so glad you got the fuel pump sorted. Ah well another whole week to wait now to see what the second haulout is for.

[@kajlauritsen9729]

One thing you need to know, it's a term we use when riding. chrome don't bring you home. Stainless chain does not have near the strength of g4. So to me being safe and keep the other people aboard.is more important, that and the cost is outrageous.

[@priit47]

So, so thankful. Just love the work / technical / how-to videos and shared wisdom. Wishing you all the best and looking forward for next video!

[@susanbowman1566]

You're not wrong. You have all the bling up fo'rard now 🎉

Colin - the product placement king

[@stephensimpson5283]

Power and water are KING!!!!!!

[@williamhamill813]

These things happen. Fresh rebuilds sometime have a split O'Ring or misalignment. Bench testing a injection pump is kind of important to be sure you have even delivery.

[@Carlbritt]

You and your crew are awesome, you've built a perfect boat..

[@samparker2828]

Thanks!

[@ParlayRevival]

Legend!

[@jefflangs1228]

Can’t wait to see you guys back on the water. Cheers

[@Kiwifarmerboy]

Hey bro love your channel have been watching for years, I actually noticed that you have never done a paid promotion and I always respected you for that as I hate seeing those stupid cheesy ads but on the other end I feel like you're leaving money on the table lol keep up the mean vids bro!!!!!

[@jehines3]

You are serious about power consumption when you want to free fall your anchor to save the electrons. Very cool bit!

[@mwrcrft]

Colin I am the same way when it comes to repairs, I know that without a doubt that what I did was above and beyond what a paid contractor would do but every job is a shake down till the anxiety passes. Van Morrison songs carry such a great message. Let the water run over me ,I will still stand here. I feel for Cory I have been there as a machine repairman, over thinking is a problem with the more experiance you have my brain has more ways to resolve the problem but it doesn't always start with the easiest. my ego has gotten in the way of KISS keep it simple stupid. lol

[@Rainmaker60LM]

We just did a 50-60 knot thunderstorm on our 60KG Ultra and i could not be more happy i bought that anchor. The boat had a 60 pound bruce on it because the previous owners never anchored and it was the first thing i changed out after we bought the boat because we like to anchor.

[@OurCabinInThewoods]

Ah man you know how to keep somebody in suspense LOL. Great video guy's and i will see you next week be safe.

[@michaelrobinson8915]

The checking is a part of the confident captains blessings of assurance...bendiciones...m

[@adrenalineissues]

Not sure which Ketten Walder chain you bought. The 316 can pit in warm water. The 318LN is much stronger and pitting resistant. I recommend isolating both the negative and positive from the windlass with a switch / breaker if you want to guarantee chain life. Also helps with lightning isolation. If you want to go all out, negative isolate your engines like we did on Razzle Dazzle. No electrolosis. Anodes last forever. Jamie knows RD.

[@ParlayRevival]

Yea it's German 318

[@Oddjohn69]

Good job guys, looking good.

[@judycook1918]

Your adventures make me want to sail so badly. It’s been forty years since I sailed and I’d love to do it one more time before my time on earth is done and I do my sailing in heaven. Maybe I’ll try to make that work somehow. We’ll see.

[@johnabriggs6044]

Another great yard time and nice to see you keep improving your Boat with shelve and through Hull upgrades, Was thinking is would be good to have an update on how well all the solar changes made before the crossing from Mexico serviced you crew through the trip all the way to New Zealand even with one panel broken. maybe a nice point to talk about it after you replaced the broken one in the yard.

[@DrRob-rt2lf]

He was a cool dude when he was on the boat.. cool he was able to give back and open his cool house for a visit

[@thatoneguy688]

Not sure if someone suggested it to Shark Boy yet, but you all may want to look in to the Salt Water Aquarium industry. Salt creep is something that happens when any saltwater evaporates around the outside of your aquarium. Would be a case for selling smaller portions.

[@a1qcaguy]

How do you keep so positive during repairs? I spent several hours working on loosen two bolts on my water pump. My wife was nice enough to come deliver lunch and I was so mean to her. I apologized and she forgive me but I felt so bad to take out my frustrations on her. Peace and love from Iowa, United States.

[@williamoorejr]

ya- he is a pro. I worked for VW for about 5 years- and they had an audi 100 come in for valve guides. nuff said.

[@jonathanscott550]

Great video once again. Loads of work done the finish line was right there, but you decided to not cross it and take another lap. Glad Shark Boys and your business went well at the Auckland boat show. Great guy Cory taking the blame engine problem. Like you said even the best make mistakes. Hell Jamie makes mistakes a lot lol. Colin your father did a fab job on the shelves workmanship at it's best. Looking forward to next video. And Britt Happy belated BD.

Game changer new windlass with a counter 😁😎👏

Great video Colin! Do I sense a brand new sd 60 in the air?

[@ParlayRevival]

Haha you read the future Chose?

[@mikeskelly2356]

'I hate eels!'... The Russian Dedushka (Grandpa) next door to us would catch, skin and smoke eels in his backyard. I helped him tend the smoker ( I actually probably just got in his way), and he would give me one of the finished eels. Dark brown, oily and smoky, they were better than any Unagi I've had since... You braved that 'Goop' when you crossed the Equator, be brave and give it a try!... 😋

[@sailingEV888]

Would be interesting if you talked about maximum loads under sail on those sensors. Will it tell you when to reef sails?

[@ot0m0t0]

hAAAAh. Called it! Pump was out of clock. Thank you FarmCraft you made me a keyboard mekanik :)

[@ayitsyaboi]

Salt Shark can be HUGE in the midwest. People just do a basic wash during the winter season with salted roads and it destroys our vehicles. Gonna have to grab some before the season and see if I can talk some people into it.

[@ParlayRevival]

Would appreciate that!

[@patriciabowe2817]

What a cliff hanger!! Good one

[@brianohehir9792]

Even a bit of Van Morrison.. very nice 👌

[@hyime69]

Hi Colin watching you talk about you Superyacht engineering and working in "Feet" we are the same in Aviation we still use Imperial and Inch tooling so everything is "Inches and Thousand of inches"

[@meandmybuddy964]

Have you seen a cut out version of those rigging tensioners? I hope they are not a failing point in the future.❤

[@stumccreadie1287]

Great ground tackle set up! Good size chain you have too. I dare not tell you you "you're wrong" about having the best tackle and gypsy bro. Your Ss chain is usually not my jam. But you've overkilled the size to compensate by the looks. Great set up. Congratulations on the very successful splash. Go the sica 291.!

[@billhanna5455]

I noticed a little pooling on your solar panel in the corner , Not a problem as long as the sealant is good , Gotta agree Best angkering set up ( Just hope it's not the thailand S/S chain , Good for a month ) Fair winds

[@SailSoCal]

Loving the content!

[@Catalina58601]

Im thinking of getting some of that salt shark for my husbands semis. Lots of salt used on the roads up here in North Dakota. Causes so much erosion and that leads to rust.

[@ParlayRevival]

It's perfect for that!

[@Catalina58601]

Ok, got one on the way!

[@lowellmccormick6991]

Colin: "I don't know why we're not more confident in our own work." Me: Craftsmen and artisans tend to focus on the imperfections of their creations. That's because they know where the imperfections are in their work. Meanwhile, the unknowing public sees the creation and thinks, "That's perfect". We are our own worst critics.

[@finlaymunro5942]

Hi Guys, used to 'master' a 80 foot ex German patrol boat, converted to a survey vessel. 3 X V12 MTU diesels. 1000 hp each. Had survey for average 78 hours at 1400 on one or two engines. When had to go home I used to run all three engines at 2500 rpm. The smoke!!! for five minutes, wow.

[@ninaanetteassarsson4328]

My dad had a wood boat in Sweden. Every spring the same nervousness....is it gonna leak or not ! The one year it really did leak...tons..was when the marina had change the engine lol.. By the way...a great episode again ❤

I have one SD-50 and one SD-60, mine sound exactly the same. Coincidentally I replaced my crapped out 50 in Opua five years ago. Currently in Thailand, Lagoon 400S2 😎

Hope Corey brought you a carton for that. 😂😂 Classic stitch up that one

[@allanrab]

for the load sensors, is the goal to have even on both sides? if so, how far out is acceptable?

[@ParlayRevival]

Yea we want them relatively even both sides but we still dont feel its necessary to load up to what the manufacturer says,

[@californiakayaker]

Wow, really interesting to know that timing can do that with an injector system. Wasn't my (research) guess.
