Mark It wasn’t clear to me what you mentioned you are doing for measuring the lengths of the mast standing rigging. Basically you need can only measure the length of the stays from a ‘true plane’ view, which you do not have. Using the mast height only works if the attachment point at the bottom of line is horizontally in the same plane as the bottom of the mast. If your attachment is 15 cm lower than the bottom of the mast it needs to be factored into the calculations. You are making a right angle triangle with lengths A, B and C. Length C is the hypotenuse which is your stay length. The top view gives you the short length of the base of the triangle. From the side view draw a horizontal line at the upper and lower attach points. The distance between the top and bottom horizontal lines is the height of the tall side of the triangle. The short and long sides are at 90 degrees. The equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2. This gives you the total length from the stay including the attachment points and hardware. Subtract the hardware and tensioning loop thingy for the length of the dynema. If this is what you said great and sorry for the post. Nice to watch your videos. I’ve been changing holding tank lines on my boat so I need a pleasant break and watching your vids fits the need. Thanks.

Keep your spirits high. You are learning so much.

Reach out to Herby Banavent (rigging doctors) he'll give you any advice you need with Dynema rigging

You should watch ZigZag Sailing, they built a Tiki and I love their painting theme!

Mark, enjoy your parents while you have them. I hope you realize how great they are, you can tell they love you and care about what's best for you.

You must pacify the stainless after welding to stop corrosion

There's a solution for your matress. It's specifically for vans and boats. I'ts kind of a wirey mat kind of thing you place under your matress in stead of slats. I use it personally because i had the same problem and im really happy about the results!!! It's called an anti-condens mat and you can order it quite easily in NL for about 50 euros. Good luck mate keep on rocking!!!

Overcharging a battery is a matter of voltage regulator, NOT a bad cable as far as I know, a voltage regulator limits the voltage that goes to the battery, current follows voltage -> more voltage = more current, a voltage regulator makes sure the battery never gets a voltage that the battery can't 'handle'.

Can't wait to see you sail her.😉😄

Hey Mark. Why are you not using stainless steel cable for the rigging? Just curious. Thanks. Peter

You're getting close now!

15:43 I recommend a ferrex multifunctional sharpener from ALDI for sharpening drill bits. Saved me heaps of dollars.

interesting 🤔

Kudos for the stuff you are undertaking. Dyneema is new to me but it looks like you got the hang of it. Also, you are doing so well with working with stainless under less than ideal shop conditions. I have never had the success you are having with all that drilling and cutting. Well Done.

Instead of measuring your drawing why not measure the actual boat?

Try contacting Ran sailing. They are in the process of building a 50 ft. boat and they may be able to help

It will all come together and will be worth the struggle when you get the mast stepped!

Bolts have protrude beyond the end of the nyloc lock nut by at least one full thread to work correctly.

a²+b²=c². For a right angle triangle. a is mast stay attachment point. b is distance from chain plate to base of mast......c will be the stay length

Not sure if it would work but maybe try heavy duty ratchet straps on your mast sitting to pull in the curve ?

Love all ur vidos. Keep up the good work

When you off sailing

8mm by itself should be fine

For the tangs, I would go with the triangular pattern. They're solid.

Bonjour, you can use Google traduction. J’ai une bonne expérience du gréement dormant en dynemma. Pourquoi fais tu une épissure bloqué sur tes oeils ? Une épissure simple est bien plus propre et résistante. Ton gréement sera toujours en tension donc pas de risque que ton épissure coule. Il suffit de faire une fois l’œil réalisé une petite surliure ou une petite couture en attendant de le mettre sous tension. Porte toi bien et bravo pour ta chaîne et tes travaux. Bonne continuation.

One can cut dyneema easily using a ceramic kitchen knife availed in any house wear shop for one Euro.

Are you planning on adding mast steps ? Very handy when solo sailing! I've done it after seeing White spot pirate video about it and also followed Sailing Britaly tips. I used aluminum profile 40mm wide and 4mm thick, had them pre cut at 430mm length, 26 steps, bend them myself, glued with 5200 equivalent and 4 rivets each. Just be very careful of shroud angles to not have them jn the way (I had to cut one step because of that). Currently sailing north, will probably make a stop in Amsterdam, I could show you :-) Anyway, you're doing great ! Can't wait to see Pahi sailing 🤘

👍

Looks great and it is encouraging to diy a little more than I had courage to do, thanks great job man!

Generally it was a good idea to go for a Dyneema standing rigging because it is DIY friendly and got superior properties over stainless steel. Dyneema is best cut using a special scissor (~40 €) or a ceramic knife (~5 €). So far your preparing of the mast looks good to me. I installed a solent stay on my Selden mast two years ago and did some research iot make it alright, mast is still standing;-) . Depending on your budget Colligo Marine from USA is manufacturing quite a number of special dyneema fittings. Also I would go for Wichard from France for all the shackles and stuff like that. Best you can buy.

Stick with 8mm . Welding work hardens the material, as you found out with your snapped Cobalt drill... Besides those welds will introduce crevice corrosion in a place which is quite tiring to inspect while working alone! Meaning you will almost never inspect it in practice.

It coming along nicely. Cont wait to the sailing adventures

Groovy Learn to sharpen your drill bits and go slow speed high pressure/ good pressure, pulse the drill with breaks to let the bit cool when drilling stainless. Engineers will disagree but I tell you it works very well for keeping your bit sharp , sikaflex under those plates on the mast .the double plate tangs ate better

So cool

Hacksaws are two handed tools...

Why won't you set up a drill in a stand so that it will drill in a straight line? You'd break fewer drills and be able to control breakthrough and just simply be more professional.

So many times I've told u - NEVER HACKSAW STEEL. A thin steel-cutting disc in an angle grinder will go thro steel like a knife thro butter. But still I see u hacking away with a hacksaw ... Why ?

Answer the question wife beater.

Are you a wife beater?

I like to watch. I have to ask . what happened to wife. z????????? Did you hit her?

Hi mate invest in a good quality step drill and slow the cutting speed let the drill do the work great show BTW

Freerangesailing has some good info on dyneema. You might wanna talk to him. It might save your life

Nice work!

ATTENTION MARK I believe you better build a wheel house at least big enough for two to sit inside out of the wind and rain weather. If you don't do it you will be sorry. You really do need a wheel house.

NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS YOUNG MAN, IT'S YOUR LIFE AND AS A NOW OLD MAN, I PROMISE YOU THAT, IF YOU KEEP TAKING THE CHANCES TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS, YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT.

Very tricky but important work. Hope it all comes together
