I've been following your channel for a few months now and it finally convinced me to buy my own sailboat which I did 2 weeks ago . Keep up the great work!
My whisker pole stores on a 1.25” t-track on the mast as well. You’re going to love the ease and safety of deploying it. Adding some jam cleats on the mast for your topping lift gives another level of security/safety. FWIW - If you didn’t fuse the positive cables for your chargers, you need to so you avoid risk of a fire. Look up the max amperage for each positive cable and size above the max total amps for the devices charging and below the rating of the cable. Great video, keep up the good work.
I can see the joy you have after each project. Freeing up the side decks will give you more mobility around the boat. Looking forward to more of your projects!
Hi Sam, The tick from your motor is fine it sounds loud on the video as the frequency response is enhanced in the speaking range causing the tie to sound louder than it does in real life. All diesels in boats tik and sound loud normally compared to gasoline engines and modern Mercedes diesels. Having said that you could check the vales again but turn the motor slightly one way then the other to see if the gap gets smallerr both ways then you know your on top dead centre. There is usually a fuse in the cigarette adapter so best to add one if they did not have one. André
Something to grab but something to bash your head on too... 🤕 So removable is nice. Like joists what's behind where you are drilling? Epoxy/ Molly bolt like it in? Marine screws? Or later corrosion problems? Fishing pole/shotgun, other possible things there too (whip antenna)...
Sam you should use backing plates where you're life lines and the boat hook are mounted and do away with those self tapping screws . Right when you really need those they will pull out causing you injury or death . You may try talking to someone salty for guidance and never listen to other newbies . Have fun dude and stay safe 🤗👍👍🇺🇸
Great video Sam, watching you complete these projects give me confidence that these projects are possible for anyone to take on, I’m learning lots watching how do these jobs. It’s inspiring me to get on with buying our first boat.
Hey Sam add some fuses on those chargers! You always need one. Don't risk fire on a boat or frying a whole group of things in the middle of the deep blue.
I think your valves are fine. I think maybe people weren't used to hearing diesels. They have a little more valvetrain noise. They're also probably hearing other things rattling around the boat.
I like the simplicity that you do your projects and how you solve problems with simple solution looking forward to you up coming adventures and love the project videos too...great job
I love watching sam sailing very much i m just a student studying medicine when i start to earn i will be definitely donating sam on my first salary because when i see his videos i get peace and relaxed folk's I really love you sam I m big fan 😘😘❤️❤️
Nice job setting up your boat so it fits for you, Sam. I am doing the same with my 1969 Pearson 30 purchased last year. I really like your idea of setting up a charging station for phone, iPad, etc. - will be doing the same now that I have seen you complete that project. Thanks. I am looking forward to seeing more. Cheers.
well, if you're on the way up the other coast of FL and need to make a stop in Jupiter lemme know! One fellow traveler to another has got your back if you need. keep up the awesome videos! Cheers!
My wife and I bought our future home without ever having sailed.Really enjoy watching your adventure.Live in GA. on the coast.When you get here would enjoying getting together if you have the time. Safe travels
I am new to your youtube channel I loved when you said " Bob's your uncle" I have 't heard it in long time!! :-) you are undercover Mcgyver couple holes here and couple wires there , you make sailboat lol, love it , i have 38" Downester sailboat been doing lots repairs, it is on hard , but i like your thinking fixed now and enjoy, rather making it perfect and takes every job 6 months!!!!!
Yanmar diesel is known for their "clickytyclack" ticking noise. They have higher compression than other diesels and that is also why they don't have preheating. They start on the high compression alone. Downside is they are a bit more noisy.
Sam, as you are making your way up the coast, we have a house in Holden Beach NC and there is a free transient dock with an AMAZING restaurant right across the ICW called Holden Beach Provision Company. Be awesome to stop by and if you have some parts needed, we could arrange a drop-off. Wilmington isn't too far away and has the WM stores and the like.
Wouldn’t a stop at the bottom of the mast rail be a good backup to relying on the length of cord to stop it? Just another washer and bolt? Love seeing the projects.
8:55 When you stick in those "adapters" you should apply a bit of dielectric grease to goop everything up with a protective layer and make it extremely resilient to corrosion. Be aware this wouldn't be good with connectors you regularly plug/unplug though since the goop will accumulate dust/dirt/debris that will clog up and be abrasive to your connectors.
the click experienced when adjusting the valves while rotating the engine over is likely produced by the mechanical injection system, likely related to injection timing.
Sam, your valve adjustment is similar to a vw air cooled 1600. Check out those valve adjustment videos. If the engine starts sounding like a typewriter (go look up the sound :( ), then you need a valve adjustment
1:02 scotch brite works, but if you ever need to remove a rough metal surface emery cloth is magical also. Say after a rough cut or need to smooth out a surface. A roll from lowes is not expensive.
Thanks Sam. It's quite relaxing watching you poodle around doing little odd jobs about the Pickled. I was just wondering. Do you think you will ever cross the Atlantic?
Ya know if those valves are good spec... Clean the lash adjusters, they get gunked up with coke and all you need is to depress them in a container of diesel with something like a paper clip and you'll see the gunk come out.
Another great video on boat projects. I like the idea of using the boat hook for dual purpose. I noticed Free Range Sailing does the s as me. I'm installing mine also. Thanks.
hey sam :) been following u since under 50 subs. this virus delayed my hitting the oceans. ill be out there this winter. best wishes man. i hope to run into ya on the oceans :) be safe
Sam I would not listen to a lot of people who say things like your valves need adjusting just because your engines making some clicking noises chances are most of these people don't know what the hell they're talking about if you have a friend that is mechanically inclined or is a mechanic I would ask people like that probably save yourself a lot of grief. Be safe out there CHEERS🍺
Magnetic connectors are great when they stay in the device, I've had to put a small drops of glue to keep them from pulling out and losing them forever.
Sam, that cooler you installed, can it keep stuff frozen reliability? How many amp does it use on 12 volt? I've got a Engel 40l on my boat now which is fine at the dock. I had 300 watts of solar running it at a cabin and it worked fine as a freezer with a 300 amo hour lead acid battery bank. Here on my boat (28 Cape dory like yours) I was going to mount 2 , 100 watt panels, and 200 amp hours lead acid...so I could probably use the Engel as a fridge but I like to freeze food so I d9nt have to go to the store often. The Engel is also taking up a lot of room. I have thought about just building it in ang adding to my galley counter, but its alot of space and juice and everything. Also, what stove are you using and how it is working for you? I am thinking about the non pressurized alcohol (Kenyon, a old one) so it will just drop in the hole that has the pressurized alcohol stove in it now which I won't use as it needs repairs and they are sketchy. Thanks!
Hi Sam, the clicking noise is your fuel injectors popping as they spray fuel as the engine is turned. I liked the magnetic charger ends, where do they come from? Your engine is a Yanmar 2GM20F, yes?
ANOTHER AWSOME AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO. GREAT JOB SAM! ARE YOU GOING TO SAIL INTO CHESAPEAKE BAY? WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE PICKLED HERRING ON THAT BRACKISH WATER.
Love the spinnaker pole mounting, looks much easier to deploy single-handed now! I wondered if you could tell me what you call the grab bracket thing at 10:08 ?? They look super handy, would do well on our boat! Cheers :)
Hi Sam - I’m curious why you installed the Whisker track so high up your mast ? I’ve never see the mast side of one being higher than 50-60” off the base of the mast when in use. Yours looks you added 2 - 6 foot tracks ?? Help me understand the benefits & uses. Aldo I used the Dyneema line trick. I’m thinking to switch to the “ Track & Car “ setup as opposed to 2 stationary mast bases I currently have
@@samholmessailing ahhhhh for storing it there vertical and tight to the mast when not in use BUT ready fir action when you do want it. Okay. Cool. Thanks Sam !!!
Hey Sam, love the video! It is a bad idea to rinkel up the cabels in nice round O´s! It will make a coil and dampen the power comming thrue. Figure 8 or just mess em up..
On my solar powered electricity supply, everything is solar powered EXCEPT my geyser and the airconditionair as these draw too much power for the battery storage to cope with. My electric oven and hob were replaced by gas powered appliances since these normally draw far too much power from the batteries that the solar panels charge. I know of others in Mtunzini who installed about 3 times as many panels just so they could run the A/C, geyser and cooking utility when the Eskom supply is off - a reason that I want solar to start with! I have uninterrupted power 24/7. They howecer can afford to generate the power needed, and are not on pension!
Did you have a 22' boat prior to the '79 cape dory 28' ??? If so what was it's year model length ??? Are all your vids on the '79 28' cape dory ??? Did you have previous boat ...in your vids? I thank you .
Hey Sam . I'm curious ... whats sticking out of your instamic ? Adapter ? lol .Never mind I watched like two more seconds of the vid . How do you like using the mic ?
Its a bit of a hassle to set up. Adds an extra step of paring and setup. I also don’t like that i have to use the filmic pro app to film instead of the iPhone native camera app. The audio seems fine. I lost my windcover though which was the whole reason i got it. $20 for that little thing 😧

I like to have free side decks. Thats why I don't clutter them up with bikes, kayaks and surfboards.
I would put a 2.5 or 5 amp inline fuse for the 12 volt lines.

concur with the backing plates...necessary there
+2 on the use of backing plates.
Great advice.
11:05 --- ..."I'm going to be adjusting the valves, which are...I don't know where they are.... I guess I better read the book"... Lmao!!...
It's pleasure to watch full of passion videos of yours.
2:30 "It's not perfect, but it's good enough!"
Anyone who has ever owned a boat just felt that deep in their soul, myself included.
Great video Sam, watching you complete these projects give me confidence that these projects are possible for anyone to take on, I’m learning lots watching how do these jobs. It’s inspiring me to get on with buying our first boat.
Like the way you think Sam. I also like the way you can share advice and take advice, that's how it works.
Those magnetic cables are very cool. Thanks for another great video Sam!
Hey Sam add some fuses on those chargers! You always need one. Don't risk fire on a boat or frying a whole group of things in the middle of the deep blue.
You can do everything. You don’t need any assistance. You are the man!
I love the whisker pole configuration. Thanks for sharing.
Nice idea with the boat hook grab rail. Fine, fine work.
Thank you very much!
I think your valves are fine. I think maybe people weren't used to hearing diesels. They have a little more valvetrain noise. They're also probably hearing other things rattling around the boat.
Real good diy The USB ports and whisker pole was a great idea have fun Sam.
It's nice to see the birth of a new great sailing channel. Just don't go buying a million dollar catamaran anytime soon.
That motor sounds fine the valves are always loud on a deasel engine
I like the simplicity that you do your projects and how you solve problems with simple solution looking forward to you up coming adventures and love the project videos too...great job
I use Knipex tools too, they're really great! Loving all these project videos! Can't wait to see you sail the Atlantic in this beauty!

Wouldn’t a stop at the bottom of the mast rail be a good backup to relying on the length of cord to stop it? Just another washer and bolt? Love seeing the projects.
Im using an old spinnaker track car as a stop at the bottom. I tie it off so it doesn’t slide back up.
A diesel engine usually has a sound to it that many might take as a "tick".
8:55 When you stick in those "adapters" you should apply a bit of dielectric grease to goop everything up with a protective layer and make it extremely resilient to corrosion. Be aware this wouldn't be good with connectors you regularly plug/unplug though since the goop will accumulate dust/dirt/debris that will clog up and be abrasive to your connectors.
Really enjoy your videos. Picked up some good ideas. Just realized you have the same sunbrella material in your saloon as my boat😆
Those rockers and and valves look like new, Reassuring to see. gary
Dig these vids dude. Project work is what I like to see and you're gettn 'em done.

nice haircut sam
Watch out for hurricanes, Sam!
Always make sure you oil in the Engine is just under half way full and carry diesel engine oil not normal types as should be in the Manuel.
Your adventures inspired me. I hope to go sailing next year. What boat are you using for adventures?
Great vid! The new gyro really ads some polish :)
Handy man you are!!
From an older video, but wondering id you ended up replacing the plywood doors you made, or paint them white, either way they look great.

All the time. On my first boat I had more failures than successes but I'm getter better the more I try.
@Sam Holmes Sailing What is the brand track and car you used? Looking at a similar setup for my boat and Forespar wants $500-$800 for just the car!
I believe it was a nautus. About $70 for the car. Maybe $150-$200 for the track
