Brisbane Wednesday night Skate
We have 50 cent Passes for public transport at the moment so I take the train to Brisbane trying out the new FR 4x80mm complete UFS frame kit from Bay-side blades . Big Hills and fast speeds plus the darkness made for some challenging and Exhilarating Skating .

This is the very first trial run on my new Atmosgear frames , Apologies for the swear word . I waited for these for so long its nice to finaly try them out . I installed the frames onto a brand new pair of Remz HR boots no problem using the original mounting screws .

Great to see you on the Wednesday Night Skate!
simply brilliant

hi, that's look a lot of fun !! is it possible to hide the cable inside the pants ?
You could , but you don't really notice them at all anyway .
Just now came across this; a brilliant solution!
Thank you for this excellent idea. I’m going to give it a try.
First real test of the atmosgear electric UFS skates setup . The inital results were certainaly positive , I feel like some improvements to the cable system could be made . The motor cable could be a little longer so that it can be attached to the top of the back of the skate instead of having the right angle at one end of the cable , overall i think the system works well but certianly has some compromises . The best way i could decribe it is that it skates ALMOST like a normal skate when not driven by the motor and works ALMOST like a dedicated electric scooter when using the motors . Overall i think atmosgear have done a fantastic job with these and i hope soon to try out a more powerfull version .
RADICAL
I use gin lines vs a rigged structure. My latest thought is to recycle used bike tubes as gin line bungees. Great idea you had, though. I like the idea of not stressing the stays.
Very nice!
DR, thanks for the idea. Mine works great. Starting with an elevated mast is critical IMO.
agreed :)
G'day. I think thats fantastic. How long dose the lifter have to be The mast on my boat is 25 ft, The base has an hinge system. the mast is a little on the heaver side so i need to make an lifter to support the mast. Gerard.
Every boat is different and will need slight adjustment to suit. But you should be able to watch the video carefully and copy the design.
@@Dailyroach My boat dose not have an solar ray over the stern. Will i still need to make an support for the back of the mast to lift it above the horosontal plane ?. how long would the lifter have to be aprox ?. Gerard.
@@svlittlegem24 You will most likely need something to support the mast as you start the lift yes .
What length are your 2 aluminium arms & are the 50 mm square..2 ", I broke the Aluminium mast footing recently using a Very heavy Gin pole ...I'm an Old Guy and can't go sailing till it's fixed but still have to raise the mast on my own ... I you required payment let me Know the cost .. Cheers jimbo ..⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵
It is custom fit to each boat , you can use whatever you like as long as it's strong enough to take the weight of the mast . It is helpful to have large roller on the end with correct profile to roll smoothly against the mast.
can i get info pertaining to the item? really nice. I'm late 70"s and am finding it harder to step and unstep the mast. GREAT idea!
What did you want to know ?
What are the dimensions or overall length
I just made this. Heading off to boat to try out this weekend.
How did it go? Can you post video? I’m in the process of building this.
Still haven’t had time to try it!
Thanks! I made one using a mighty-multi folding aluminum ladder. I'll be posting a video on my channel (and giving you credit for the idea). I have a Northstar 26 with a 100 pound, 31 foot mast and I can step it by myself with no worries. Great Idea Ricardo!!
I am thinking I will build one of these but my question is about the wheels. Would a large bowroller work instead of wheels? Is there a reason you chose them? thanks for sharing!
Basically just wanted to get the profile correct so that the mast doesn't rotate , it sort of sits in the channel between the two wheels and they y spaced in such a way that the profile of the mast kind of locks into the groove so to speak . This also means the weight is not on the mast track but rather on either side of it so the mast track doesn't bend .
@@Dailyroach thanks! Makes sense!
@@TheKenFrazer no worry's ken happy to help 😊
@@Dailyroach one more question? Where do you find those little brackets that you have attached to the wooden base? Do you know what they would be called?
@@TheKenFrazer they're simply 90degree galvanized steel angle from Bunnings you could also use alloy or stainless just make sure it's of sufficient strength because those two hinge points take all the weight .
This is genius
Are close ups still available?
where do you stow it after?
It is designed to fit on the floor under the cockpit 😉
I made one of these and it is awesome! Thank you for the video and sharing your knowledge
You're welcome 😊
This excellent! What size box section and wall thickness are you using?
just brilliant! stopped looking for ideas. thanks
NIce job. Well done.
I repaired mine with 4 mosfets 34NM60N BUT NOW THE IRF3710 the input of the panels to the transformers have been damaged, I have to put more voltage or higher amperage
I ended up giving up on it and scrapped it for parts . There's gotta be a reason why it failed but I couldn't figure it out .
my rover move in a circle im using apm 2.8 Firmware 2.51beta or external compass with gps module and servo for steering but if i select auto mode car move clockwise circle if i select guided mode its turn in a anticlock wise direction so what should i do plz help. Me?
Finally a way to manage the side to side mast movement. Wonder if the modified A frame could be rigged to a device placed in the mast slide channel and the A frame legs attached to deck each side of the cabin or to the cabin to give better force geometry.
Mike H Having something lock into the track proved to problematic both for design and getting jammed up . Having a permanent mounting on the deck is certainly an option however in my case it would have required drilling holes in the boat . Something I really wanted to avoid .
Dailyroach what is your tool's length ratio to mast height ? My mast height is 28'. thinking of adapting section of an extension ladder as the tool frame. Could you share photos of how the companionway base is secured. Is the block 3 to 1 or4 to 1. Thanks. This will save me from climbing the mast when I need to service the masthead single handed
Mike H standard mainsheet fiddler block from ronstan it's 3 to 1 ratio I believe the length of the tool would be about a third the length of the mast I just experimented till it "felt" right . The timber block in the companionway is not fastened down it simply slots in and weight holds it down the idea being quick to set up and dissasemble .
@Mike H - This is the set up that I have on a 30ft Viking in Western Australia. I use two spinnaker poles attached to rings out by the toe rail and they connect to a fitting that slides up and down the mast channel.
@@downwind_davidi would love to see photos
do you have a parts list needed to build this mast stepping tool or plans on how il to build it please send to my email at tikitutt@yahoo.com thank you
howard tuttle Hi thanks for your interest , In answer to your question i am sorry I don't have a parts list or plans all parts were sourced from a local hardware store and I made it up to fit the boat . The first prototype I just made from some house frame timber and a couple of boat trailer keel rollers to test it and get the dimensions right for my boat .
I made one of these for my universal montego and I love it.. I’m a 63 year old widow and wasn’t able to raise my mast safety by my self. Using this one I can.
You are awesome! I'm going to do the same!
Thanks for sharing: seems like the safest method of mast-raising I've seen. What are the dimensions and thickness of the alu. tubing ?
Dailyroach - Thanks for sharing a great design! I have always used a gin pole, but even with side stays, the risk of sideways movement is always there. This looks like its completely eliminated with your design. With the dimensions - how long is your mast and how long did you make the tool?
The Mast is about 27 foot long and The tool was built as long as would fit below the cockpit floor so I can stow it .
Really like your system. Would appreciate details on the wheel assembly. I assume some type of spacer to hold the wheels apart so they hug the mast. I like the lateral stability this system gives! Cheers.
How is the base built, where does it attached and how is it secured?
Al Butkus it's a peice of 100x100mm hardwood post with notches cut out of each end to slot into the companionway . 4 x galvanised steel 90° angles are through bolted to form the "hinges" and 2x 10mm bolts are used as pins that slide through the galvanised angle and holes drilled slightly over size (to allow for easy insertion/dissembling) the whole thing comes apart in secconds and is stored below the cockpit allowing for dropping the mast for repairs or travel under bridges (in calm conditions )
Just to I'm clear. You are saying that the base is not actually secured to the companionway. All that holds it in place is the notched Harwood post?
Al Butkus correct the weight of the mast holds it down . So there's no need to drill any holes in the boat . It's completely removable.
Could you email me a few close ups, especially the assembly setting in the companionway. My email is "abutkus03@sbcglobal.net. Great tool. Thanks.
the one i built has a base thats an upside down "u" shaped section of wood as wide as the lower companionway opening. the "u" slips over the bottom of the companionway fiber glass. then is held there with rope to the centerboard winch, which is just below it.
So ... I found some replacement MOSFETs and soldered them in along with a new fuse and thought everything looked good . As soon as I plugged in the mains the fuse exploded . So I bought a new inverter and I'll keep this one for parts .
I love your system. How long is your square tubing. I’m making one. I just don’t know how long to cut mine . My tubing is 8ft. In length.
Elizabeth Hall , I worked it out by trial an error with some cheap timber from Bunnings . Once the wooden prototype was performing well I moved on to the alloy version . I'll get back to you with some dimensions.
icucomadoc I am happy to send you some close up photos of you could provide me an email address .
I really like your system. Do you have any drawings of your design, photos or more videos?
icucomadoc if you send me your email address I can send you some close up photos .

I wouldn't want to use that same number again because it is an insulated plastic case. The heat transfer on those is terrible. That is a 37A FET, but the power of that package drops from 278W to 35W. They used that package to make assembly easier. Go with something with metal tab or better yet a 247 package which is larger and buy some sheet silicone insulator. You probably only have two that are shorted. I'm looking for some cheap replacements now for some. When I say cheap, I don't even want to pay a buck for one. Any 600V 20A FET would be more than sufficient. Get back to you in a couple weeks when I get back to my own project.
Thankyou for your advice I agree that this should be a better component and heaps cheaper .
I would look up the data sheet of a 20N60C. I'm going to buy a few of these 15A 600V FET which is the larger 247 package. I've mounted FET upside down, run wires and drilled new holes in some cases. Most of my GTI are 120V which makes it easier to find a higher current with lower voltage. How do I find a FET? I just get on an ebay seller and search MOSFET 10PCS. Find a number in my package/price range and google that number for a spec that matches. Time consuming but educational. Should be able to find some for $10 a lot. Possibly fakes but that is less common in cheap parts. Not that hard to make a FET and who makes all of them anyway. This application is not that critical. You might find my latest video interesting on grid tie inverters. th-cam.com/video/tr4JsKuH_Pw/w-d-xo.html
This is brilliant! Love the ingenuity! I've never seen anyone do this before.
Brandon Thompson thanks for the compliment
Okay, it's pretty cool. Now your mast is raised - But what do you do with that ladder/raising frame that's bolted onto the middle of your boat??
It's not bolted to the boat the timber block simply slides into the companionway . The whole unit quickly detaches and is stowed in the unused space next to the quaterbearth under the cockpit floor.
stept it again!!!!!
stept the farv bro. jump it and it will look sick.
@CocaPlex yea not bad skates hey are the comfortable
@CocaPlex im skating in remz 08 03s at the moment but i might break out my 09 ones soon
@CocaPlex its not very often that it happens tho and most of the time they are just messing around and if you dont snake them or anything u should be fine
@CocaPlex sometimes but im bigger than most of them lol so i just laugh
