Sailing Mother Ocean - Ep 7 - Boatyard Blues Part 5
Some tips on prepping for mast removal. Then, the mast repair is complete so it's time to paint, dump the old music player and replace it with an adroid unit, finish the wiring and instrumentation at the top of the mast, replace sail track screws, and start putting hardware back on the mast. New chainplates go on as well. Mother Ocean is a Cheoy Lee 44 built in 1980. (this replaces the original video which had some rendering glitches in it)

Applicable info for the replacement of the most common sailboat sink faucets. Video was filmed on a Cheoy Lee 44 cutter built in 1980.
@sailingmotherocean how much is the cost of that boat?
In today's market, I'm not at all sure...
Thank you for your video. I'm having an issue with my motor speed. I have a 6HP YAMAHA on my 11-foot inflatable boat. Previously, I could reach speeds of 25 km/h with two people and 30 km/h with just one person. Now, under the same conditions, I can only reach 19 km/h with two people and 24 km/h with one person. I took the motor to a YAMAHA dealer and spent $140 to have the carburetor removed, cleaned, and flushed in an ultrasonic cleaner. They also drilled out and removed the EPA plug, adjusted the idle mixture screw, and tested the thermostat. Despite everything checking out, I'm still experiencing the same issue. I'm at a loss for what to do next and would really appreciate any advice or help you can offer.
I'm no expert but what I would check is that the main jet is clean but it sounds like you had that professionally cleaned, next the throttle linkage to ensure full travel (so the throttle is fully open when you expect it to be), ensure you have a clean fuel filter. Aging fuel? Maybe put some known clean fuel in the onboard tank to see if there is a difference. Any propellor corrosion that could reduce its efficiency?
Would be cool to see that schooner from topside and the interior layout.. how long was it?? Video throws things off, some average size boats seem larger and larger seem smaller than they really are
Working from (dim) memory, I'd say 40-45 feet-ish. I walked by it often but never caught the owner there (I would have definitely asked for a tour :)
Thanks for videoing the tiny spring on the float bowl pivot- it had me stumped. I'm having a lot of trouble reconnecting my gear shift clamp that behind the round rubber grommets. I've done it before it just takes a little patience- the rods refuse to line up with the grooves in the clamp.?
Me too - took many tries. Everything is the perfect length to "just not reach" with human fingers :)
Our boat, the Nightwind is in Seward AK and we have had her since 2018. Same boat as yours but built in 79. Would love to talk about our boats.
Sounds great - would love to exchange experiences. Sorry I didn't notice this comment sooner!!
Very well documented, i know from experience taking video in confined spaces like that is difficult. A very worthwhile upgrade too. Dave
Looks good mate. I'm just about to do mine so thanks for the tips.
Hopefully you post another video sometime. I’m buying a 1980 Cheoy Lee 44, identical to yours. Hopefully if the deal goes through tomorrow. And then I bring it home to port Townsend! It needs a new mast, Maybe I should make a video when I build a new mast for it but I’m not a TH-camr either. I really appreciated your videos though 🙏 you should do another video, I want to see it under sail!
Did you get the boat? Are you, by chance, the one who stopped by and called via my boatyard neighbor's phone?
Enjoyed your channel! Just Subscribed.I’m trying to convince my wife that a circumnavigation is a great retirement project and went so far as to even start a little channel (@NavalGazingatCampDavid) to sell her on the life style….desperate times and all that. Lol. Thanks again for the great content. I have a whoooole new appreciation for the time and care it takes to create these episodes!
Thanks - and good luck to you! Checked out some of your vids - nicely done (mine are a bit thrown together :)
Is this the same mother ocean sailboat that is beached way up in reedsport Oregon?
Thankfully no! :)
That old 60s Chevy you have is cooler than the hippie vw van in my opinion which isn't worth chit
It’s a great truck!
@@sailingmotherocean and has a very iconic look..they sure don't make trucks like that in this era
That purple hardwood comes from Africa?? I know that it's extremely hard.. the young man restoring tally ho used a large piece for the keel if I remember correctly.. he's quite the ship builder after taking on the huge project
Google says: Purple Heart trees grow from 100′ to 170′ tall, with trunk diameters up to 4′. It is not a threatened wood. It is found throughout Central and South America, ranging from southeastern Brazil to Costa Rica. My yard neighbor, a skilled wooden boat builder, saw my dilemma and cut the wedges for me to use.
Was the mast painted white when new or did a owner along the way paint it?? I can't help but think how beautiful it would be all varnished up and shiny.. I hate when people take a beautiful piece of wood and slap paint on it.. if it's stained to dark for a person's liking then strip it and stain it lighter..
In the 40 years prior to my ownership it had been painted white many times. I started to take it to bright but feared taking to much wood off in the process. I have no plans to paint the boom!
That old piece of wood looks great and there's no need in replacing it.. society has gotten to a place where we throw it away and buy new.. problem I have is the new is quality nor does it have the character like the older stuff
Agreed!
I've always used mink oil for leather.. not the liquid but the paste that's the consistency of Vaseline..
Yep - I use it on motorcycle boots to keep the rain out. Tried this method per the vendor’s recommendation - likely won’t go forward with it.
You 2 from Minnesota or Wisconsin?? Just guessing.. I couldn't agree with you more about the lines and look of Cheoy Lee sailboats.. from bow to the transition they're beautiful.. I've got 5 years before the youngest is out of high school and I can do as I please hopefully the wife will adventure out with me..
MI for me, WA for her.
I've just recently started reading and learning about sailing.. one of my favorite top 5 boats is some of the ones that Cheoy Lee produced.. nice boat you have..need to find me someone close to me who would like a extra hand fixing things and teaching me how to sail
If you are near water where sailboat racing happens, volunteer to crew on one of the boats. You’ll start out doing simple stuff like grinding a winch but it’s a great way to learn and work your way up ! ( and someone else making the boat payments 😂)
gorgeous boat.
Thanks!
Always just a hole in the water that you throw money into. A dearly departed friend told me that he practiced for his Cheoy Lee by stuffing hundred dollar bills in the shower drain, and when he got really good at it... he got his boat! Enjoy it. Life is so short.
Indeed! We don’t buy boats once… we buy them twice! 😏
Those Cheoy Lee's are always worth doing the right maintenance on. If you take care of her, she will absolutely take care of you! I'd love to help you if I were closer! Hope to see you on my way south in early 2023! I'll be right there.
I have too much glass work to get done before the rains/cold so I may still be here!
Great job on the repairs, she is looking good. Andy UK
It’s coming along - got one side painted this last weekend, one more to go.
Some skilled work going on there. Andy UK
Just found your channel. Beautiful boat you have there, Bob Perry does pen a lovely boat. Lots of work on the mast but will look great when redone. Andy UK
Thanks for stopping by Andy!
Normally I would have to remove the curtains to do any job on our boat, followed by deck head covers, floor boards, sliding blinds, fly screens etc. Then after I have repaired the other three things I have found, I would go to the hardware store to get the right size nuts for the pipes. So all up that 15 minute job would only take 5 days.
Ain’t it the truth! 🤣
Very interesting part about the mast splice work underway.
Thanks. The next video will take the repair work to completion!
Do you plan to varnish the mast so you can keep an eye on it?
I started down that path only to find the paint wasn't applied over varnish so I would have had to take too much wood off. I did go down to bare wood in all critical places (joints, screw/bolt holes, etc) and only found 4 screw penetrations that I drilled out and plugged with spruce bungs. The mast head will be entirely new when done so overall, I have full confidence in the mast. As soon as it is done and fully painted, I will put together another video covering all the work.
The. Black t a r substance is butyl
Thanks for the opinion!
The only inconvenient thing about Port Tonwsend, is when the wind blows from the mill! Just subscribed. I look forward to seeing where things go. Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks so much-lots of video coming - finding editing time is tough 😏
The timber boat looks like Salt & Tar youtubers, Garrett and his wife built it all by hand by themselves say hi, there really nice people. Enjoyed ur channel😉🇦🇺
Thank you, I will definitely check out their channel!
The black rubbery stuff might be Butyl sealant? It comes in tape and tube forms. Good stuff.
Thanks - I have used the light colored tape but have not seen the dark tape or tube. Appreciate the comment!
I am astonished that a 1980 boat of this size has a wooden mast. I would get that replaced with an aluminum mast asap. a wood mast of that age is now 40 years old plus...time to go to better materials.
I’d encourage you to look around Lantz, there are many out there and many quite a bit older than mine with strong wooden masts. A future video will show the repair of my mast, a clothes pin repair of the entire masthead but the remainder of the mast is rock-solid!
@@sailingmotherocean I have been a sailor since 1982 and rarely saw a wooden mast and stand by what I said. Wood that old has to be less than a good choice from several perspectives. To each their own
Those Cheoy Lee masts are just fine! I've been in 14 different countries with one, and that was the thing that never failed us!
I really like these boats, this one looks to be in great shape....but what I did see ...and I think it's the most important thing ....is the look in your eyes, and the smile on your face..... congratulations 🎉
Thanks... that was a great day!
Congrats on your new boat. I just purchased a 1980 Cheoy Lee 44 (ketch) this past summer as well. Yours appears to be in much better shape than mine! I'm working on a refit, and would love to get some pics of your boat and collaborate on this great cruiser.
Absolutely! I hope to do an interior tour video before too long. Happy to correspond as well.
