Thanks as I brought out our 20-year-old kittywalk outdoor safe place for our girl the netting on it's last year as I bring it in during the winter but our girl loves it as it makes her feel safe. Just looking for replacement netting.
@@youngbarnacles Thank you, I have followed you for a while. I have done som big projects on my boat in GFK, but I am very impressed with your Carbon skills. So thank you for explaining the details of what you do
Awesome job. Why didn’t you connect the upright of the bow spirt with the guard rails, for safety, for your children? That could have presumably been a +1 day job for a person with your skills? I admire your craftsmanship as a Royal Navy engineer of over 11 years. May fair winds always be in your sails to you and your family. Much love and best wishes to you all!
Hi Steve. In answer to your question about safety, our thoughts are as follows - we want our children to be safe on all vessels not just in ours. To this end we think it's better to teach safe boating practices rather than relying on fencing etc. We feel our children need to understand where they can sit or stand to be safe while sailing. We have a few rules in place to help with this - lifejackets and tethers must be worn when outside of the cockpit and secondly no-one leaves the cockpit between dusk and dawn. We have set up Paikea so that all sailing can be done from the safety of the cockpit so (with the exception of the trip line or spinnaker deploy) there is no reason to go forward of the mast when potentially dangerous manoeuvres are taking place. From a performance point of view extra netting in this area would create technical issues with windage and going through waves. As an interesting side note, because we have taught our children how to be safe and useful crew members they have been able to join us on various other yacht deliveries. It's great that we can take the children on such adventures and it gives them confidence in their abilities
Thanks for the informative video. For those of us who can't splash out $2000 for couple of dyneema nets, what are the second best options on the budget in terms of keeping the net stable (not squishy or bouncy) and as tight as possible? I've heard people had good experience with generic knotless nets (like those for golf and fishing and various industrial purposes) - some reported 12 years in salty UV conditions, and cost them less than £100. Cheers!
I was sceptical at first about spending so much money on trampoline netting but Shayne was adamant about it. I have to admit that he was right (🙄🤫 omg don't let him see that comment 😅) I'm yet to see anything comparable to our dyneema netting. Yes it's expensive but we are years down the track now and it still looks and feels as good as the day we installed it. th-cam.com/video/M7BBDdhfVL4/w-d-xo.html
Atlantic 57! Nice boat 👍👍 Trampoline tensioning is a personal preference of course but if you are finding it difficult to walk on it's definitely due. I would recommend checking the lashings every season at a minimum.
Loved you video I would like to do this for our cat. How did you get the right size i am guessing we would need to cut it smaller for the stretch? I would love a lot more info about this…
Have a look on our website www.youngbarnacles.com for more info. There should be a link to the blog in the description of this video. Let us know if you have any questions 👍
Would really be interested in the name and brand + possibly where this net can be purchased. All I got here in Germany was a non suitable knotend fishing net which they called a dynema net but was total rubbish. Thanks for any advice…
Looks really good, could you list the materials that you have used (thickness of rope for the different areas and net type). I have to replace on my Atol 57 next year and I think this will be the right solution for me :-)
Thanks for the great videos. Great timing for my 30ft tri resto. I’ve ordered the netting from the US but having trouble finding the covered dyneema in Syd. Where did you guys source yours? Found some 6mm supercable 78 in NZ. Is that the same? Cheers Martin
Sorry for the slow reply, currently sailing at gunboat 68 across the Atlantic. The rope for the perimeter can be un covered, it is just nice if it can be covered. Any SK78 is fine, this should be easy to find in Sydney. I have a mate that has Skiff ropes in Manley he will be able to help you out for sure
no, but if you want to know more we have resources on our website to help. We are in the process of developing a few online courses aswell www.youngbarnacles.com
@@youngbarnacles Awesome. Been looking at your site and videos and appreciating how much information you are all shedding off. Some of the best material on modern high end boat work available. Hard to get this kind of thing outside of certain dedicated circles. Thank you for sharing!
I've got a space that is roughly 8' long in the fore/aft direction, and the front beam is 14'-4", the front of bridgedeck is 12'-6". The net that net-sys sold me is 10' x 20'. The sales rep suggested it would stretch enough to cover it.. but seems no problem if I stretched it 0-90 degrees fore/aft and side to side. But others are suggesting I do 45/45, and the sales rep I think was suggesting same.. saying he thought it would stretch to cover those dimensions. Looks like you went 45/45 - is there an advantage or cosmetic? Suggestions for me? Thanks!
@@youngbarnacles Thanks for the reply and help! I went for it finally and am pretty satisfied with the job - however my gap is larger than I wanted as I did not have experience. But as I look at pics of other cats, it is well within some of those. (maybe 5-6 fingers or so). And I'm not done stretching, though now it seems pretty tight.
Wow! Looks Amazing! Great job. Inspiring.

Thanks for this. About to look into a net for my 30' cruising cat and wasn't really sure how the lashing was done. Got a better idea now.
Glad it helped. You know you've done it right when you can't feel your fingers at the end of the day 😂
@@youngbarnacles Thank you, I have followed you for a while. I have done som big projects on my boat in GFK, but I am very impressed with your Carbon skills. So thank you for explaining the details of what you do
Absolutely awesome
Looks fantastic Shayne. From a cool spring in AKLnz
Cheers!
should have got a piece of marine ply and layer across the dingy to give you more support when standing and putting the net in

I liked this video. Seems like that kind of netting would be double awesome.
We love it! Glad you enjoyed the video too

Nice progress! 2.5 years cruising my Atlantic 57, haven’t tensioned the spectra nets yet. Maybe I’m due?!?!

Hi, how did you join the rope you used as hemline? Sewed together and lashed to the net? Thanks!
Looks really good, could you list the materials that you have used (thickness of rope for the different areas and net type). I have to replace on my Atol 57 next year and I think this will be the right solution for me :-)
I've added the materials list to the description. Good luck with your project!
@@youngbarnacles Is it 20mm mesh in the net and what thickness of the net ?
I'll have to check but yes mesh is either 20mm or 25mm and thickness is 3mm

@@shayneyoung4801 thanks Shayne. 👍
more Shaynanakins for the win.
😂😂 too funny
Are there any good rigging books for this kind of high end work?
no, but if you want to know more we have resources on our website to help. We are in the process of developing a few online courses aswell
