So there’s Dom cooking dinners for a pound and carley is like “let’s just replace all the rigging” 😂 your videos do bring a smile to my face

Costs would be way more interesting than pancakes and fancy shots. you know that's what you would want from a video like yours

new to the channel and still catching up. You two are wonderful and a blessed viewing for an old man. Im not a sailor, a small motor boater. Your lives and safety are paramount to me. I consider you family and love your adventures. I also worked all my life and know the value of a dollar. Shop wisely, but NEVER pinch a penny where your lives will be in the balance. Best wishes and prayers. Don and Terri

Good news on this! You are so smart to check the rigging thoroughly.

I am really enjoying the daily videos. Brings back memories of refitting my Westsail 32. Comfort in knowing your boat when "out there". That ocean is a really big place. One small thing. I spent (if I recall correctly) about 6 nights in the O.R. Finger repairs take hours and hours done correctly. Amputations don't take so long. Please look up "de glove injury". Rings on sailboats are not my fav. Sailboats on the water are unstable and unpredictable so falls are common. Catching a ring on a corner cabinet inside or a small broken stay wire outside will stop a person falling rather rapidly......and NOT in a good way. Even at the dock it can happen. Most just don't think it will happen to them and you would be surprised how often it happens. It is really bad when it involves a thumb. Being the only opposing digit. Makes the four fingers much less useful. Look at the pictures and think about being way out there, days away from port.

It’s a warrior 38 ! What a fabulous craft!

Phew!? what a relief eh??? good thinking to have it checked out.

Quite pleasing, even though a second opinion would be more necessary if you where about to cross the Atlantic now. Since you're going to the Med and through the canals it's not current situation. The only wire related stuff that looks a bit sketchy are where strands are broken, not the dented parts. But as said, postpone worries until you're about to do an ocean crossing, if you don't get an offer now you can't resist.

If you have the money change all wire stays, with confidence in your rig you will sail further and with less stress. The equation is not how much longer you can make you rig last, it’s how much more relaxed you’ll be knowing it’s done.

Hi guys a few thoughts for you that we hope will help.....? Running rigging. (soft rigging like your halyards) you can do yourselves. Very quick, very easy. You just need to learn how to end splice or draw a new line in. We do this every year on our halyards over winter. Replacing with mouseing lines and drawing new/old lines in every spring. The UV in the Med is so much stronger and the red dust from the Sahara is abrasive so it makes sense to protect your lines/halyards. The goose neck: Go for teflon washers. Nylon will degrade very quickly in the UV. Teflon also has a low friction coefficient. (its slippery) and is more UV resistant. The standing rigging; Any strand that is damaged or misshapen needs to be replaced. You can lose up to 30% of the strength with what appears to be just one strand damaged or broken as Stainless Steel has properties that make it stretch under load and work harden (become brittle). In particular the swaged ends where micro cracks only visible by dye testing can occur. These are prone to failure before the SS wire..... It's not a bad rigging survey, and you have some good pointers.However, we would want to look a the causes of the issues highlighted. IE why has this happened and what do we do to prevent it in the future? Just loving your channel and we hope our comments help or give prospective. They are certainly not critical in any way. Sail Safe guys. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.

Great news!

I'm pretty cautious about maintenance items. That being said, I would definitely replace the standing rigging. If something breaks, it is likely to be in high seas and stiff winds. That is a bad time to have a mast in the water. (Voice of experience.... lousy experience, but a good story.) If you are going to have your mast raised in the med, maybe find a shop down there? Might save you some pounds to do it all at once.

I really like your channel... I am even beginning to think that is is better than SLV......! BUT.... I am also contemplating a 1980s boat purchase and would love to know how much what you have chosen to repair/replace would cost!

Glad its not as bad as first thought, oh and when Hank howled the Dalmatian I am pet sitting went scatty :) Ps loving these short vlogs :)

Imo, I d be looking to change out all the standing rigging and probably the chain plates ........are they accessible or reported on. I d also change out the running rigging which is something you guys can do

If you don't attach a go pro to hanks collar and have dogvlogs. Well, you're just wasting everyone's time. 😂 keep up the good work.

Good choice 👍🙂

glad that was not too expensive ,, tho ( i would think ) broken wires and flat spot should be replaced right away ,,,,,,,,,,,, ( oh btw ,, engine managment , esp and another warning light on the dash !!! )

Your pancake slot looked like an M&S advert! X

Nice video

Try Pav @ Rigit in Southampton will be much cheaper used him for a full rig replacement two years ago ...... having been through a dismasting the insurance company doesn’t pay for new for old they say there is a betterment value and you end up having to pay a huge lump my thoughts it’s no good in bank when your out at sea ...... malc

Looks like rigging is good for a couple of years, so, unless you are going to do serious offshore cruising, maybe wait and save up?

i look so forward to your vid's,you are my new favorites,plus your british

Before buying CREO why didn't you have a proper survey done? They would have inspected everything and made out a detailed report.

Depending on how old the rigging is you may want to change it out.

Phew! but at least you got your priorities right. Pancakes first. We cheatedand had Scotch Pancakes, with Banana and Blackcurrant Jam.a

Nothing in what I saw would cause me huge concern. It may be more an issue for your insurers if they saw the report and insisted on certain things being done, mainly the wire rigging. Halyards you can do yourself, learn to splice and to do some whipping. End of reels rope on eBay you can get for a bargain so don’t pay silly money for rope from a chandlers in Hamble. You don’t need fancy Dyneema or anything. Wire for the vang should be pretty cheap to replace. Take whole vang off and take to rigger to sort. I bet the inner forestay was pulled back against the mast and caused the chafe up top and it was bent at the bottom causing the flat spot. I would get your chainplates checked over if you can see them and maybe red bed those cover plates where they go through the deck with new butyl tape to stop leaks. Can you share your pancake recipe as it looked yummy and probably better than the mix I bought from Sainsbury’s.... Andy UK

if you can find 2 or 3 friends out there, you can change the rigging yourself. after all delos did it and they aren't exactly clever :-)) or maybe contact the riging doctor. another YT channel out around portugal way.

Sailboats dont sail well without a rig , %5 - %10 cost of boat for safety & wellbeing , It's worth it . Then 10 to 15 years peace of mind & you never know when you might have to beat off a lee shore in a storm THATS when youll be happy to know your rig is up to it.

Gotta tell you two, uh three (I forgot Hank), I'm enjoying the hell outta these daily vlogs.

Rigging looks fine. Get a second opinion. Fix it when it fails. That's how it generally works?

All I want to know is if that was real maple syrup or corn syrup (asking for Hank) 🇨🇦

Hi I still have another boat at HPM and a storage unit there and inside I have a drum of 10 / 12 mm braid on braid happy to let you have as much as you need for replacing some halyards F.O.C ....... if you interested PM your number regards malc

You had me at " pancakes"......then lost me with fruit and creme. This is about pancakes.....pancakes need maple..straight out of some tree..Pancakes DEMAND maple syrup. Jst sayin....😔 Other than that...Enjoyed the video !!

Hi, love your videos but your bubble cap with real fur is a no go..... fail to understand why people who love dogs buy such a creepy product....
