Our boat had leaky internal chainplates. To fix the leaks we are installing external chainplates which require a ton of holes to attach. How do you install external chainplates on your boat?
If you have any projects, be sure to use our link for Totalboat: www.Totalboat.com/riggingdoctor . It's the stuff we use on our own boat and it helps out the channel :-)

The music that caught my attention reminded me of the music from "Master and Commander". I liked it.

Looking great! Bummer to see the rain affected the cure on the polyester resin but at least you didn't need to remove it and start over!

You two are doing a great job with your channel. I've watched several of your videos. I just bought my sailboat and noticed from one of your old videos that you stayed within line of sight of my marina. I'll be at Oriental Harbor Village Marina:) Cannot wait to begin the journey...

Instead of trip to hardware store to buy an expensive drill bit, use a angle grinder to sharpen the dull one. Your skill as a Dentist will make freehand drill sharpening very doable. I really appreciate seeing your efforts to care for your boat, home and family.

External chains plates are the best design. (The sound of a drill remind me of you being a dentist.)

@bakters 29 күн бұрын

Re: Dull drill bit. That's what you get for not using pilot holes. BTW - It would be quicker to sharpen the bit than to buy a new one. A useful skill that you may need, when the nearest hardware store is several days away.

@RiggingDoctor 27 күн бұрын

The issue with pilot holes is making it line up perfectly with the bolt hole. If I’m off by a tiny bit, the full size hole will be off center. Is there a trick to center the pilot hole perfectly?

@bakters 27 күн бұрын

@@RiggingDoctor In this case I'd start with the full size bit, make a small recess, then switch to a small bit. It should not wonder off anymore. (You can always use a center punch in addition to that, in case you are paranoid about uneven lines... ;-)) Also, you wanted perfectly parallel chainplates. Cut two spacers of the exact same size and clamp one chainplate to the other through them. The spacers could be glued to the boat. The best trick for that is the superglue "double" sided tape trick. You take a regular one-sided tape, put the tape on one surface, the other strip of tape on the other surface, then you glue both tapes back-to-back with superglue. It holds better than a double-sided tape and it's very easy to remove. It's a really good trick.

Happy Father's Day, Herby! Nice work. Reading the comments, wow, it seems like bronze attracts trolls! Lol. I enjoyed the video. Were you using cobalt drill bits? They're much better than high speed steel and stay sharp longer.

@RiggingDoctor 27 күн бұрын

They are the Cobalt ones, and only drilling through fiberglass! I was surprised at how quickly they dulled.

I suddenly like Bronze ( or is it Brass ) chainplates better than Stainless. My friend who did the job used Stainless and he sure couldn't drill through it like that. Personally I prefer using spacers to keep 2 surfaces parallel. Whenever I just use measurements I somehow screw up one hole. Oh my tip with cordless tools on the boat is they are cheap. Then if they fall in or are stolen you don't feel as bad.

@ronauger 27 күн бұрын

If you drilled many holes in the boat, had a bad whoopsie, and the boat still floats and you felt joyful in the end ... call it 100% a success

I’ve always heard that backing plates should have rounded corners to reduce pinpoint stress points. Any reason you didn’t round them?

@RiggingDoctor 22 күн бұрын

You are correct! I made sure the end of the backing plate was well tapered onto the hull, but I ignored the corners. If it were a thinner build, I would go back and round the corners. Being how it is very overbuilt, I am just going to keep an eye on it. On Windpuff, I will be sure to round the backing plates. Thank you!

@bjswope8797 26 күн бұрын

What material is used for the backplates?

@RiggingDoctor 25 күн бұрын

It’s like G-10. One of my Patrons made it. It’s CSM that is cooked in an oven under a 100 ton press. I can tell you it was also incredibly hard to drill through as well!

@Roger-og2ty 28 күн бұрын

Shouldn’t you have drilled oversize holes so that you could fill them with epoxy, then re-drills the size hole you want so that the perimeter of the hole is all epoxy and won’t rot out the area of the hole you drilled?

@RiggingDoctor 28 күн бұрын

That is the correct procedure for cored hulls but my hull is solid fiberglass so there is no need to make an epoxy compression tube.
