Salvaging a sunk sailing boat

Рет қаралды 125,318

In this video I do a quick job using a chain to secure a lifting line to a lost swing mooring then head over to the other side of the island to help my friend Carl raise his sunk sailing boat.
To raise this boat I dive down to put a line on the bow which Adrian and Rob use to lift the boat to the waterline with a crank then drag it into the shoreline where they can pump it out.

Found myself tutt tutting seeing the young crewman, (and others) wearing massive boots and jeans but no lifejacket. Maybe get him to try his luck wearing that gear in the local pool to show him how bad a choice that is. First thing me and my mates were made to do on day 1 of our sailing training " you lot go into the water, wearing whatever fashion victim attire you've elected to wear to my training school." Nearly had me and many of my mates at the bottom of the Thames within a few minutes. Coughed and spluttered our way through the swim test (all strong swimmers) I've never worn jeans on the water again, ....let alone boots. Working on the water I now feel as naked without a life jacket as I do getting in a car without a seat belt.

I had to trim flight feathers on them once, then they learned they were safe in the pen and coop. I throw them veggie scraps, fruit and have feed in the coop if they want it. Water is always available as it is shocking how much water they drink on hot dry summer days.

The electric motor makes 147 hp. ( I need 2) But I can collect (approx 5-7) Lithium battery packs from Leaf cars & use them the charger & the inverter. Each complete Leaf battery pack will drive a Leaf motor approximately 3 hours. The motor spins with 10,000 rpm but if you use the transmission axle drive it is 1350 rpm. Perfecttt.

the main point is I loved the water and fishing. The funny thing is I have not had an engine boat until the last 3 years. (A little tinny) The intervening time I spent squandering my time with white water kayaking, canoeing, and rafting. With a little land time shooting archery with my son. :-) If I end up with a boat that has a piolet house...... it's all Stu's fault! maybe a little pocket cruiser with a small Yanmar. ;-)

My own 1930s wooden fishing boat sank a few weeks ago; luckily I was alerted by the remote bilge alarm, and was able to get it towed to shallow water before it went down on the mooring. One of the planks had opened up (rotten copper nails) and the bilge pump burned out trying to cope with the leakage. The diesel engine went underwater at the next high tide before the boatyard could crane it out, but the boat is now safely on the quayside awaiting inspection.

Yup, looks like a Yngling to me. I thought it was a Soling at first, parts of the boat are extremely similar. I worked at a sailing club that had a ton of Solings when I was a teenager and we definitely had a few sink and the subsequent recovery operations by the boss. Never any foam or watertight bulkheads to keep them afloat if they got badly swamped. We actually had one get knocked down in a freak squall during a sailing lesson. It got swamped and sank and the instructor and students had to swim to the nearest island! Students were...a bit freaked out. Boss would usually recover them by taking deflated orange mooring balls down and inflating them with a spare scuba tank to refloat the boat. Good stuff! Definitely enjoy watching you dive to recover a sunken boat!
