IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT I'M STILL HERE! ***Episode 38***
EPISODE 38
Sometimes life can get a bit much. Trying to manage a full time job along side a full time project to build a dream and also have a life on top of it all can take its toll.
When unexpected situations arise then the best thing we can do is give ourselves the time we need to be able to deal with what ever comes our way.
The last few months have been really tough and if i'm honest i was beginning to really struggle so i had to make that choice.
Unfortunately this meant the boatwork had to slow right down and i needed to give myself some space.
I have been working hard to get back on top and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But the work did not stop completely! In this episode i touch on a few of the exciting things that have been going on and will be coming up in the next few months and episodes.

    Nice to see you back fella... looking forward to seeing your vessel continuing to take shape even if it's at a slower pace than you might like. My first ever attempt at public speaking was a presentation to my P5 class (48 years ago) about... drum roll.... ferro cement yachts!! My dad who was an engineer was delighted (he was a sailor too) but my class mates and teachers in my landlocked home town were slightly bemused...! Concrete that floats? Surely not...

    Stainless steel fuel tanks are a mistake I have had the sad experience. They stay shiny but develop pin holes. I don't know what stainless I had. I see now that 316L is best if stainless is used. What ever you do, do not use copper tubing for the dip tube. I had it corrode away and break off. I wound up fully encapsulating the stainless tank with fiberglass and resin suitable for diesel fuel.

    • @knotfinnishedyet9170
      @knotfinnishedyet9170 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Don’t worry, the company that made that tanks specialise in manufacturing stainless tanks for big ships. It is 316 that has been used. I have faith in these tanks and I have spent a lot of time researching.

    Finn, been wondering what you have been up to, figured you were either working extra so you can have more funds for your boat or that life had just gotten in the way as it often does. Glad to hear from you and I really love your project especially when it's the only major ferrocement sailboat channel around.. you ever checked out a boat by the river, they're building a pretty cool sailboat also that's designed much like yours only they're using the cold molded way for construction.. they're a small channel on one of the islands of New Zealand I believe.. take care of yourself and your dog. You will look back on your younger life remembering when things were simple and you were single and you will smile about this period in your life..
