Awesome video as always! Thanks for the shout out :) I'm replacing the standing rigging in the not too distant future too.

Don't worry about not polishing the chain plates. Once the protective corrosion layer sets in they won't be shiny any more. I shook my head when I watched Mass do that. To each his own I reckon.

Excalibur, I am the chosen one! That was a good one!

I know this is late but I'm just now watching this video. In re-installing your chainplate, I think I would have sanded and epoxied the wood you mounted it to down below. Any moisture that is in the wood will seep out and provide a source of moisture that will be in constant contact with the chainplate and it will lead to corrosion again like it was before. And any moisture that seeps down the chainplate will soak into the wood and cause it to rot.

Of course everything is getting done the Captain(Carly) is in charge! I hope you guys are safe and well too! Cannot wait for you guys to get under way. Cheers as always!!

Yes seem to look a lot better now lovely

Really enjoying the easygoing style of your channel and your enthusiasm to learn. Regarding chainplate maintenance - from my experience you can be certain that there is rotten core where the chainplates pass through the deck. It might have been a good idea to take measurements with a moisture-meter on the fiberglass underside of the deck (as the topside teak deck covering would provide misleading readings). A more general recommendation would be to buy a moisture-meter and get experience taking readings wherever possible. Core rot is the cancer that slowly destroys older sailboats. Any progressive core rot must be stopped in its tracks: (a) wet/rotten core removed/replaced, or (b) wet/rotten core dried out and then saturated with low-viscosity epoxy. Each approach is a massive amount of work, which must be done under cover. You may have taken into consideration when buying this boat that if/when you find elevated moisture in the core, due to leakage around screws penetrating the fiberglass deck upper skin, you will have to remove some/all of the teak decking to remediate this problem. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Good to see Pav briefly, keep him working and hope all is well. Look forward to the upgrades,which should be interesting. Andy UK

Love your comment about Mads... ;-)

Your video's are absolutely brilliant.....thank you for sharing your boat life..

Nothing more satisfying than cleaning up old metal. Nice peace of mind for you! I always edit with a drink 😂😂 makes it so much more enjoyable! Off grid essentials..... water maker, solar, wind, FRIDGES FOR BEER, water heater 😅

Arthritis pain is nothing compared to waiting for this video to tell you something!

Hi folks , we have just started following your channel, subscribed hit, bell rang all the normal lol, great to see more UK people doing more sailing video channels. look forward to your next posting, great job , Sonja & Andy.

ha ha ha... the t-shirt is really funny... 😆

Hi .glad to see Hank is over seeing all of this ,he must be logging all this down for when the Admiral,s inspection is due and you both could get your good conduct stripes ,keep it up ,were waiting for the BIG OFF complete with your new strips on display . ttfn

Great stuff as always. 1. high anxiety over the small bit of cereal cream on D's beard in the first segment, 2. So glad to know your British History lessons took and you connected with Excalibur (very dramatic moment!), 3. And that amazing wooden vessel you are rafted to, and 4. A wonderful perspective on global anxieties...and a vision for Cadoha's future. (5. Never seen a chainplate so carefully cleaned!) Well done and Cheers, Peter

You guys are doing an amazing job so far! Keep having fun, being funny and interesting and your channel will BLOW UP! And don't forget about Hank!! He is the star. Ha!

Awesome again guys, you are getting so close to living the dream now. Carly just do it, that beard and hair has got to go before the 4th! I was near you guys last week helping a friend pickup and deliver a boat, completely forgot to pop by and say hello :( Take care and all the best, look forward to the mast going back on and seeing your planned upgrades. Paul

Love your videos and always look forward to more. Good job!

Very interested in the upgrade stuff! Bring it on.

Great video guys, as always. Really like your planful thinking regarding your future videos too. Always something to learn about and pass on with boat stuff. Now, be careful with those scissors....the wild and woolly sea going look is what you’re after.....yup!?

Aye m8’s, I just love you guys. I’m into a hard working period right now but I have to prio your vids, just because they way you fill them with joy. Thnx for all your efforts making them 🙏🏽

“…like trying to take up Excalibur. I am the Chosen One.” Your kids, if ever you have any, are going to be subjected to some dreadful dad jokes!

A watermarker is an absolute MUST Dom

Damn I was hoping to nick that mast pole thingy.

Awesome bruh. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Love the shirt! Unfortunately, I hurt my back standing on my head, trying to read it! 😆

When u did this video we all so had Brexit so that’s why we had the so call panic 😱

Along with all the new stuff we need to get you SOCKS 🤣🤣🤣

Love the videos guys. I also sail the south coast from Portsmouth Harbour and have a Viz. He's only been on the boat a couple of times for day sails, so we're taking baby steps - any tips on how to get him to go to the loo on the boat (preferably where you want him to...!).? Thanks,

I see you're using butyl tape around the outside of that cover, it's good stuff. Do you think you should have surrounded the inner opening as well? Love your videos, keep them coming.Lots of good tutorials on boats here.

Trim Carly's hair I think the deal was lol. Already following on Instagram now (SV Jazzi Girl) Hoping to get my mast back on in a couple of weeks. They just dont look right with them off. I need mine on so I can build my solar arch. Always something to do ... Glad to see you are all well :)

hello have a ook at wildings sailing its a trip though the french canals with a small bilge keeled boat half the depth of yours

I am the chosen one LOL

I would be interested in the budget for all the rigging work you’ve had done.

I know what to get you for Christmas. 🧦

Did the dog get his own Cabin? AW C'mon!

NEED.......MORE......HANK

I just love your channel. Good energy. Fast paced. Your videos have a purpose. I like that you don't have a schedule. When you have content you put it out and it's always creative. Great job! You mentioned storing food for the apocalypse; have you seen Emily & Clark's Adventure? They have a lot of different material and one in particular is how they preserve their food in the tropics, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9VznN2W3rGdnIE.html. It's about 10 minutes. Take care, Geoff

What language was that guy speaking? It was amazing that she understood him.

Regular uploads, Otherwise it’s going to take forever, or don’t bother with my advice. Either way.. good episode. Kind regards Trev, (KZfaq Sailing channels) a Facebook group.

also time for a trim of hair and beard Mon Capitaine, otherwise loved your video,Again !

you will be sailing into freedom soon

Hi you two, we're loving the channel but just got to ask what's in your beard scene one? Best wishes, Angie & Rob

Rough cost of new wires?

Scissors at the ready

Go to Garry crothers to see a real sailor. 💪

Really subscribe..... the entire video was about telling people to subscribe the only thing that saved it was Carly making an entry at the end ..... to tell us to subscribe

:)

Stop promoting yourself so often...... It will also scare people a way.
