Wood in holes, terminals on wires, a boat in the Baltic, a winch service, and two muddy angels!



This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build.

These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated. You make a real difference!!

it's not pretty

i'm tony this is sv departure we are

building this

cruising sailboat and uh going to start

somewhere that may be a little

unexpected

this week because as you may be aware

we've been working out on the on the

bimini framing structure quite a bit

recently

but uh you know building this boat so uh

sort of attacking on several fronts as

is the nature of these sort of projects

one thing i'm stood here in the galley

on my right here is the heads area and

one thing that's been going on

and needs doing indeed is to get the

heads area finished

uh i just moved the camera

because here i am in the heads um one

thing that's obvious is that there's no

door at the moment missing

and

covers behind me and below me around

about they're also lacking doors but the

sliding doors

in there last week but

so

we've been making doors and there is one

that is designed

and made to fit in there

uh it's fitting but the door is done

and hopefully won't fall on my head

another one here for the cupboard under

the sinks

one more to do for this cover that's in

front of me that is obviously off camera

now

but yeah

making progress if you get some hinges

catches

and get that fitted

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

already

very nice hey

what a lovely morning that is

nice spot as well

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Applause]

[Music]

i think you'll see that actually that

female bridge

we just set our course 185 towards that

lighthouse which you probably also want

to see over there

copy

now

[Applause]

yes

[Applause]

[Music]

so

while we're talking about

putting bits of wood in holes also

made up this board that uh obviously

blocks up the blocks off the engine room

there ninja room hatch access hatch

it still needs some bolts on it but it's

done it's glass both sides painted in as

you can see

and does rather change the look of the

place that has to be said

it's come out well i'm pleased with that

and

glassing ply boards it's one of the last

pieces of board that i would need to

glass and i may have said that before

but i still got that the bimini hard top

will be glassed and

but we're getting there it's a very nice

feeling to be

glassing what was

one of the very last pieces to be

glassed at least

get in there

[Applause]

foreign

no way it can be numbered

yeah that's good

it's suddenly gone quiet hazel yeah yeah

because the engine

engine is on

look at that that looks nicer doesn't it

delightful let's give you a bit of sales

i'm talking to you with sunglasses in my

mouth that's very effective

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

now just drop that board out and uh show

you something in there

trying to come in gently

just did a bit of wiring on this battery

isolator

um

the wires that run all the cables run

through from the battery isolated

through to the two batteries

installed running through and the ground

cable on that is also installed

just needs one more cable down to the

alternator for the charge

input obviously to that

and coming on quite well

the engine room's looking very tidy

still got a bit to do in there

stock cable the instrument panel is not

wired up

exhaust not in so there's a few things

to do in there

but a bit more progress

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

in order to run those cables through i

could put one

terminal end on in the shade in the

comfort of that

but to run them through the

very bulkheads and whatever

i didn't want to have the

other terminal end on so i wanted to run

just the

cable diameter through the

bulkheads

and then put the other

terminal on

as the cable was in position so

these terminals when you look at them

and they're very good quality tint

terminals but they're um

quite bulky

and so uh you know the cable i've used

is a tinned cable i've grabbed the krept

awg tinned cable and tinged terminals

very nice

but to put them on i bought this

little

butane torch

and it is really good really good i

couldn't film me doing it because i'm in

the engine room there

um

it's impossible to get a camera in there

and me and this but a brilliant little

soldering torches butane torch it's not

very expensive great quality got a photo

ignition thing on there

absolutely fantastic tool brilliant for

soldering

so in my collection of old boat stuff

i've got one of these winches it's a

south coast number five winch all bronze

chrome plated i guess but a bronze winch

beautiful winch

so i uh i gave it a clean up and the

grease up um it's really nice works

beautifully

the only problem i have is i haven't got

a winch handle for it it's a

three-quarter inch square on there so

it's not your normal standard winch

handle so if anybody out there in viewer

land has got a winch handler they'd like

to

sell me i'd be very very pleased to hear

from you

south coast number five winch

uh

you don't like it

it's beautiful

so

nice

first off

and

well i've got this winch so i thought it

might as well mount it there uh being

junk rigged we don't really need much

into our winches i've got the um

capstan and and gypsy winches going on

the forward mast for anchor chain and uh

so it's got the rope capstone on it as

well so

um that would be up forward winch

possibilities and i thought i'd mount

this one aft

uh on the coach roof probably

uh because i got it really

so i've started to make up this pad

because usual thing will have some deck

crown

and also just raises it up that bit to

get it out of the out of the wet and

whatever and perhaps give you a slightly

better working angle on it

um usual thing a couple of layers of ply

laminated up

cut with an angle smoothed up will be

glassed not yet

so to finish off this week we're gonna

do something a little bit unusual um

hazel and karen are here

hazel unfortunately is feeling a bit

under the weather because she had a

second covey jab yesterday yeah and uh

you've been on better form yeah

but then yeah we want to talk to you

about something and i think carrots can

say a few words

yes well thank you

um

yeah i don't normally show up in front

of a camera i'm more

behind the scenes

kind of woman

but i wanted to address something that's

close to my heart which is um

cancer breast cancer and if you remember

tony has mentioned

that i had breast cancer in 2018

which is

three years ago now

i

did go through all the the works i did

the

surgery chemotherapy

radiation and the hormone therapy and i

took care of my

health sophie sports and

dietary and

yeah

everything i could but unfortunately it

reared its head again this year and i

had it again breast cancer

which shook my world

and

wow

shocked everybody else in the family as

well

but

i know it's

fairly well treatable it's

some

every seven or eight woman in the world

has breast cancer and i think it's

about 90 treatable that's right um

so i'm i'm

in good hands i think

i'm still going through chemotherapy and

the surgery

but

it's getting better yeah

you're going to do an event soon yes yes

well hazel and i

we are going to do the muddy angel run

in hamburg yeah which is kind of a

charity towards breast cancer

but there's all sorts of

mud runs or charity events all over the

world

you probably know it best you

in your country

in your vicinity

you can help anywhere donate anywhere so

we're not looking for donations here

we're just asking you to help

anywhere support cancer charities

wherever you are yeah

well basically to be aware of your

physical

look after yourself yeah

checkups do the checkups exactly

um look after yourselves

live healthy as helpful as you can

obviously as you want

but there should be some fun in life as

well so not just healthy and strictly

but

yeah

fun is important i'm sure laughing's as

important yes but

and then we're hoping to go sailing soon

we are indeed

and we'll finish there

thanks for watching

uh it could be bimini next week you

never know

all that youtube stuff we'll see you

next time

bye bye
