- EPISODE 31
Time to meet the newest member of the Family!! "KODA"
In this episode we begin the process of connecting up the engine while we still have plenty of space inside the boat. Some of the components, like the water lock exhaust system are going to be fitted behind but also below the engine, so while the area is free of other systems or components i've decided to get a few things fitted now, making the job easier now rather than having to do it later.
I also begin the task of building the cockpit well. Templating and dry fitting all to satisfaction, it's time to get the last of the superstructure fitted closing off the deck!!

As always Finn, great job.
You are probably going to do it anyway, but I will mention it.
Two hose clamps per joint on a boat that has water running through the pipe. Well that's what my apprenticeship called for.
You might want to add an additional locking nut next to the one on the end of the throttle cable to prevent the nut from vibrating off at an inopportune time.
What I really like about Finn, is the way he approaches everything, neatly, methodically, and precisely, not least, how he comes across as a focused all-round nice young guy, who endeared us all, - right from the first "meeting" when working on Tally-Ho, and now to follow him via his great videos on his own boat back home in the UK is fantastic. Well done, Finn, from New Zealand.
Like the music!!!!!!
Yes it's great to see the great metal inside the concrete, gives you more confidence in her strength and long life. It's a beautiful sailing boat, I love those working boats. Kev in New Zealand
A little late to this party but, excellent work Finn. As one who watched you with Leo on Tally Ho, and since here, I have to comment on your attention to detail. Moving the throttle cable on the engine was inspired. If I may give my tuppence-worth. I would double nut lock the nut at the end of the throttle cable on the engine, to stop possible vibration making it loose.
Portland Cement reigns. I will now follow this channel
Dog's happy and likes you!
👍👍 Nice work and music - thanks !! And your new companion is beautiful too .. ❤❤
Hi Finn:
What a carpenter you are.World class.
I am very pleased to follow your boatbild on your videos.Untill the end…
Greetings from Sweden
Bye
Hi Finn, great video and progress on the project. Thanks for all the effort you made to bring us this episode. Cheers
Well done, Finn lots of progress being made in this video
Top vid Finn, nice to see you getting another step closer, and wonderful to see you sharing your life with a pup too
You're a good man youngster, much respect from Scotland
Big fan. I remember when you were on the TallyHo ❤
PUPPY!! 😊
Propper job Finn, she is coming along nicely, I like the format of time lapse and chat .
Finn! You are the icing on my layer cake of stacked up boat videos. Thanks for bringing us up to date. Love watching your progress on this fascinating project.
Well Finn-Your long awaited Video was so great to view. Nice new pooch also! Great work on the parts in this video, well thought out projects that were completed WELL! Keep it up and we await your next progress report! Rich
Every GOOD man needs a Good dog with him….I am very familiar with Dutch Shepards……gonna be fun!
Massive progress Finn, so much progress made, well chuffed ! The dog is a major coup, doggos make life complete. 🐕
I love your boat. She looks so comfortable as a home on the water. A boat to trust and cherish that you put yourself into, finishing her. Cool dog, too. Good job. Highest Blessings
The old trick to quickly cut through the reo was to use a stick welder on high amperage. It would just cut straight through with minimal heat to the hull. Just don't set the shed on fire😁😁 Lovely work! Greetings from down under👍.
Amazing work and best music on the boatbuilding channels.
Excellent work as always Finn, love the fix on the Morse cable attachment to the throttle body. The whole project is looking great and it will be nice to have a shop buddy around while your working.
Finn, You’re so real! Really enjoy watching your progress! Remember you from Tally Ho build. Cheers
Woof
It's a great joy to watch you working.
Dear Finn
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! Sooo incredibly much progress Congratulations! 2) I like your dog very much and the new pup looks great. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. 💚
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Starting to look like a boat again. Well done that man!
Good work on the cockpit!
Superb video, music, dogs!
Coming along nicely Finn. 🇨🇦
Really taking shape Finn..she's looking good 👍
Super enjoy your work Finn 🙂😎⭐
Great progress Finn.
Excellent work sir! So much progress and a load of jobs ticked of the list. And your new crew member looks right at home!
Wonderful to see you back...my favourite site.
Props to you and your family on stepping up to look after Koda!👍👍 Boat is coming on well!!
Finn, think your decision for only 1inch pipe to drain the cockpit needs a rethink. If you get some waves into the cockpit, you're going to need much larger holes to more quickly drain away the water. Refer TH-cam: Lahakai Sailing experience.
Fabulous Finn, enjoyed this one immensely. Thanks!
What a lovely purple engine!
Sweet pup!
Great work once again, Finn. Enjoyed every second, you quite the talented chap on the QT, aren't you. Love the new Pooch, too. Thanks for sharing
Finn the boat is coming on nicely looking great I see you have your crew already two well behaved dogs
Very nice episode! Love music, boatwork and dog!
Bravo on the progress. Having a working engine in place must be a relief compared overhauling or installing a new one.
good progress and nice dog 2
Well worth the wait for this video. Lots of work done lots more to do. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Cheers from Sequim. Looks like your making good progress and will be cruising in no time.
Progress. stoked to see it. what a great pup. godspeed finn. looking forward to the next vid.
Another lovely video Finn. Your new 4-legged friend is great.
Its starting to come together man, keep it up!
Thank you for rescuing the dog.👏👏
Love the new member of the crew!
That's a lot of progress in one episode, well done Finn.
Great Video Finn!
Just a quick comment, I'd advise using a router to round off the edges of any holes through bulkheads as otherwise over time vibration will cause the edges to chafe away whatever is running through the hole. Your flexible hose for example. And yes, I know this from experience !
Coming along nicely Finn, thank you for the new video x
Lots of fab work, Finn! Most impressive.
As always....awesome Finn!!!!
Welcome back. Nice work,
Great video as usual. Having a teak grate in your cockpit is the best way I know to accumulate all sorts of filth and crap, bits of food, anything you drop ends up moldering there and ultimately getting caught in the drains. When you drop anything small it’s impossible to recover without lifting up the whole grate which invariably then scratches the varnished sides of the cockpit. Much better I think to have just a non skid cockpit sole. But then what do I know?
Cheers Finn,, 🍻😎👍👍
Your video’s are getting better and better! 😎👍🏻
Coming on nice.
Have you seen Sailing Magic Carpet, their refit? He had some good ideas to prevent water penetration through the screws and fittings getting into the deck by drilling and filling with epoxy holes, then screwing into these with smaller diameter screws than the epoxy plugs. Also glassing over the end grain joins between. Did the same for any deck gear, windows fixed into any wood. May be an idea to make some sort of flange to protect the exhaust through hole, water always condenses out and runs down the pipe, gets into the wood. Double clip all pipes, hoses, learnt that one the hard way, lots of swearing and wet feet!
She's looking good Finn, the vlog is both entertaining and informative.
Great job Finn, keep em coming!
Very interesting viewing as always with lots of Knotical terms thrown in.😂
Finn, coming along nicely! keep up the good work!
Good stuff
Love the straight forward style of your videos.
Looking great!
Thanks
You certainly had a lot to show us this episode it’s good for your own morale when you can see progress.
Big up from NYC
Would be cool to see a boat built with geopolymer, using modern methods by geopolymer institute, keep up the work , cool boat!
Great job and progress Finn, Coda look like she loves being o the boat!.
Great to make steady progress towards your goal of life afloat!! Nice work and enjoy your pleasure at another milestone out the way.
Love the progress. It's looking more and more like a boat!
We need to see you more often.
First Law of Sod! If you drill into reinforced concrete, you have to strike steel! I love the background music when you were fitting the cockpit floor. Who is it?
Love your work. Watching
Great work!
Cute puppies!
Great Job Finn!
Really nice 👌 job so far love your videos
Great work, love it!
Just today I had a discussion which made me re-watch some of your shed-building videos. Feels like at the moment you visibly (!) begin to live up to the promise from those time. Very nice to see!
Nice progress, hope you are able to continue with more like this over the warmer months.
Looking good Finn!
