2024-11-24 05:57:58 +0000 UTCActually it seems that when you are screwing in the bolts they are within the zinc and difficult to start and get threaded. You screw it in until the bolt is fully seated and looks to me like the head is hard to get to. My idea was like an extended bolt with an extra head to tighten that you could more easily hold with your fingers especially under water

2024-11-24 03:49:16 +0000 UTCYeah, itβs not really too much of a thing here except for us Americans living overseas πΊπΈ
Sailing SV Delos
2024-11-24 03:48:43 +0000 UTCYes, I have a gut feeling that some basic marine electric fundamentals and best practices were not followed on their boat as well π₯²

2024-11-24 03:46:10 +0000 UTCIn regard to the warranty, pretty much the same as any builder. There is a hull warranty and then each component bought (fridges, inverter, batteries, etc) have their own warranties.
Sailing SV Delos
2024-11-24 03:40:06 +0000 UTCThere are multiple ways to check the welds. Xray and dye checks are cost prohibitive and not suited to check areas that are tight like in between stringers and bulkheads however weβve had a lot of success with soapy water and compressed air followed by real world water testing.
Sailing SV Delos
2024-11-24 03:38:38 +0000 UTCLast I checked there were some capacity issues with composting heads. I believe the urine is separated off at some times so I think you still need to have a blackwater tank. But Iβd be open if we could find one that would serve our purpose. If you know of any decent brands please pass them on.
Sailing SV Delos
2024-11-24 03:33:07 +0000 UTCYep, they were MIG welded inside and TIG welded in the outside so on both sides for sure!

2024-11-24 02:11:03 +0000 UTCYep, sure did! We moved her on Thursday. Right next door, it was just a short trip from shed 6 to shed 7!

2024-11-24 02:09:27 +0000 UTCHey Courtney, if I'm understanding what you are saying I think we have done something very similar. We actually used a hole saw to cut rounds portions of 5083 hull plate, then drilled and tapped the centers. These were welded to the hull which means the threaded portion is indeed the backing plate. So no loose nuts, and the bolts are the correct length to be flush when inserted all the way. This has the added benefit of keeping the zinc a little bit off the hull, which means we have more of the zinc in contact with the water also (the back side). Is this sort of what you were thinking?

2024-11-24 02:06:22 +0000 UTCBrian! Bro! What's with the porn-stache? You are living in your Ron Burgundy era? LOL... you do you man...
Justin W Kraemer
2024-11-23 06:08:28 +0000 UTCHey Brian for your zincs why don't you get a bolt that, when totally screwed in is flush with the outer surface of the zinc. Then weld a nut in position on the bolt so when you screw it in, it tightens. underwater, this will be much easier to handle. Cheap and should be easy to make plenty

Allan
2024-11-21 16:35:23 +0000 UTCSo boat moved on 20th? To where?

2024-11-21 06:42:56 +0000 UTCOh my, the mustache. π
Eray Ekici
2024-11-21 01:49:17 +0000 UTCI hope you plan to weld the backer plates from the thru hull fittings to the hull on the edge in the holes and not just on the inner surface of the hull. If you donβt weld the edge of the hole to the hole edge in the hull youβre creating a stress point. Itβs not a hull failure issue, just that hull flexion can cause movement of the plate in relation to the hull and eventually crack the backer plate inside welds. Also, it exposes the space between the backer plate and the hull to moisture and eventual oxidation. Just giving you some experiential info. Boat looks awesome!
Greg Zivic
2024-11-21 01:12:53 +0000 UTCQuestion pops up: why would you not consider a composting toilet? Is it a realistic option instead of a black water tank? And how are the welding seams checked for eventual capilar leaks? Further, how is the manufacturer warranty on the boat? Because you are also working on the Boat? How does that work? Thx for the weeks update ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»

2024-11-20 11:23:03 +0000 UTCI'm watching all your episodes round two. it's so much fun to see your trip and all the old comments on them. especially when you know where you are today. I want to get more updates like these π When are you going back to Sweden?
Mattias Persson
2024-11-20 07:44:15 +0000 UTCSierra is correct. I appreciate the Movember cause but the moustache bros give me the creeps. Maybe guys should shave their balls or something instead.
Peter K. Noone
2024-11-20 06:55:05 +0000 UTCSo tomorrow is boat move day?
Albert Howes
2024-11-20 02:40:32 +0000 UTCI think this may have been recorded a couple Fridays back as he said a week and some change.
Juan David
2024-11-20 02:25:59 +0000 UTCAfter seeing the Wynn's stray current issue, it's good to see all those large anodes protecting the boat.
Lowell McCormick
2024-11-20 01:08:58 +0000 UTCMe too. I thought it was grease grooves Brian was showing us.
Lowell McCormick
2024-11-20 00:51:31 +0000 UTCI wonder, do the Australians have anything like Thanksgiving? That's only a few days away in the US. Oh but I just realized that would be in their Autumn so more around May. 8 - \
Scott C. Wise
2024-11-20 00:08:20 +0000 UTCwonder if they meant December 20th?
Scott C. Wise
2024-11-20 00:06:07 +0000 UTCSo the move is tomorrow? Would need another update soon
Juan David
2024-11-19 22:27:04 +0000 UTCThe update was a ton of information. Thank you!!! It has been great learning of all the details of structure and function that take a boat a couple more levels up the excellence scale... absolutely fantastic. I send my love to all!!
Spencer Norby
2024-11-19 22:04:30 +0000 UTCLove the updates. Hope you feel better soon Brian. Kids schools are rough!!!

2024-11-19 21:50:44 +0000 UTCI had to look up "chockfast"... I had no clue what the heck that was! Thanks for the update; coming along for sure!

2024-11-19 21:30:25 +0000 UTCIt must be so satisfying to work with brand new parts!
