Really great presentation style mate. I enjoy these vids quite a lot and you showcase some really unique products that I actually look forward to. Cheers mates.
Awesome video guys, soo smoothly done... The fact that you can travel backwards down an escalator whilst filming in a single take amazes me 🙇♂ I spent three days a the show and still learnt more from watching your video than I did being there 😆 It was also great to briefly catch up with you guys there!
Having your personal videographer lifts your channel above the pack, the way your boatbuilding skills do. Congratulations and warm regards to you both.❤🇦🇺👍
Tried to develop silicone anti foul in the late 80s and it worked a treat in some environments and in others the silicone became a route for bugs to grow into the coating..
That’s super interesting. What in earth could live in silicone ay! So when you a route into the coating. What coating are you referring too? I would love to know the company name? What happened to the research? I believe silicones have changed over the last ten years or so or at least there are new areas being explored, what re your thoughts on these new derivatives? Do you think they could work.
@ I believe the silicones came from a company named Bramite (couldn’t tell you where they originated maybe US) or perhaps that was the silicone brand. We were a gelcoat manufacturer and had some success putting it into gelcoat they already had a two component urethane I believe. We ran some trials around Auckland and had success with the urethane but in a particular river we found that the growth grew into the silicone coating and it looked like it was growing in the long polymer holes of silicone. I.e. soft silicone in hard coating allowed the growth to follow and push the silicone out of the way. Same in a gelcoat. I had some fun and built an opti with the coating that was slippery AF. Also coated my caravan roof with it and despite being in a wet area where algae used to grow quickly we were able to wash it off no problem time after time. Other key issue was repainting and sanding the silicone coating…. Silicone in paint shops is death and nothing likes to stick to a cured coating and getting rid of the dust was death to any other coatings for a long time. I was keen to try it in tooling gels but not my boss lol… Also played with copper clad in the early days I think you guys had it in the UK through Scott Bader who were our early polyester technology partners.
Company names… we were Stratos Chemicals, became Ferro Stratos in NZ when bought by US ferro. Then they bailed NZ market and Nuplex bought us who eventually purchased the global resin business of Akzo before being gobbled by what is now Alnex. This research was done by a couple of kiwis who are no longer with them and long retired… too many economists accountants in the business now to get real research done, lol in my opinion!
Thanks! Stoked to be sharing these cool products with you guys! There’s so much to see at this show it was hard to pick what to shoot! So… stay tuned for Pt.2 coming soon!! 🤟🏼
14:39 Any penetration of a boat hull is a vector of water ingress. To integrate furniture into an inner hull shape or to glue anchors unto hulls without eroding them is a useful technology. Also boats come with gimbal stoves, but never with traditional 'gimbal bunks', the hammock - as if boats never roll or keel, possibly triggering motion sickness... the glued anchors can refit that design without second thoughts.
Sone great points there! I’ve have toyed with the idea of a gimballed Bec for our build but I am not sure it’s worth the hassle, the weight and the loss of overall space. Still though, a simple trial could be an interesting video for us!
@@SailHub "a gimballed Bed" The water bed, insider the river bed. That's what I thought of a double sized hammock (even with a bug net and under kilt) which can be taken down and stuffed in a moment. I also fantasize about filling vanilla inner hulls of pocket cruisers (guess, the 'salon') with knee high warm water like a tub or flotation tank... Ya.
Cheers Noah! Thanks for the feedback too!! We’ve got Boot Düsseldorf coming up in January so we’ll bare hybrid in mind!! In the meantime stay tuned for Part2 from METS… no hybrid but we do touch on regen!! ✌🏼🌊🔋
Love the Karver clutch. We were looking at the Ronstan constrictor clutches for our halyards. These might be better as so much shorter. The Ropeye monster loop is basically what we have done for our DIY chainplates and our mizzen stood up to Storm Bert in North Wales :-) All it cost us was the offcuts of the dyneema shrouds and a bit of time.
@@SailHubLatest update is that our Mizzen is still up after Storm Darragh. A neighbour recorded 84 knots. No issues with our diy dyneema chainplates 😁
Handle with light is so stupid ;D I mean yeah, you need light. But come on, you can have headlamp or just install lamp anywhere. So many more better options than you winch handle. It feels like either product would suck or you will pay way too much extra because of that led.
You can, but then you have either the hassle of fitting one or have it on your person. I think it’s around €10 more than the standard handle. To me that’s pretty good. If they were charging a fortune it would never have made it int in the video.
Sure, that’s likely nylon. It’s swells slightly in water, it is common for domestic water to utilise hdpe too. Both materials are great and they are cheap too but they are not suitable for marine usage at all. The Tru Designs are made from a fire proof material similar to delrin, This gives a bunch of other benefits and one being that they don’t seize.
That rophub thing may stick in your northern climate but down here in Northern Aus I don't rate it to last more than a couple of months. 35 to 47 degrees C with crazy high levels of UV will kill it in no time and if the anti foul boys need to leave a yacht painted with their fancy stuff in Gove (Nhulumboy) for a month or three to see how it survives. This is where I found marine life eating in to my Hydrovane rudder so good luck with that. Bring that stuff down here for testing to see how long it lasts.
Criekey Nige, sorry to pop a bee in your bonnet chap! Yeah, we have some pretty horrendous marine life up here too, and the main issue here is the cold and moisture regarding getting things to stick, but then… epoxy, I’ve not really had an issue with it in extreme heat. UV, yeah mate, that’s the bugger. But then these things are super cheap to replace, I their best seller is less than €10 Anyhow, that’s the plan for the channel mate, put the sales pitch to the test so you don’t have too! Let’s see how it works out ay 👍⛵️
Well done Chris very slick presentation, unfortunately though I have to report the Peller clean you showed at the start is even more slick than you and not in a good way... It all slipped off within a month on our Max prop! I followed the instructions to the letter but it all peeled. I usually use Velox which easily lasts 2 years and then just needs a top coat for another 2.
Hey, cheers Steve, nice to hear from you! We were ran ragged at METS this year mate! Now, was that’s the tie coat or the silicone that wore through or both!? I ask as they put a lot of development into it over the last few years… We’re looking at doing the bottom of our new build in Seajet’s new silicone…. Would be good to hear your thoughts.
@ the silicone fell off the tie coat so I don’t think it was my prep. I generally like Seajet stuff, Seajet 33 has worked really well as an antifoul for us. I was hoping you guys would make it to Annapolis this year, guess you’ve got your hands full in Scotland. We’re actually looking forward to getting out of the heat of the tropics, I know you probably won’t want to hear that!
@svfairisle not sure fella, probably going to give it a whirl, the hip should be less effected by the issue anyhow, prop speed however is obviously pretty quick in comparison! Cheers guys!
@svfairisle for real, where are you heading? Mate, I’m not one for the heat. It kills me! Mind you it would be a welcome change for a while! Annapolis would be fab but we have our hands full already, Jenni and I would both like to catch up at some point for sure though!

Yeah mate, I think the silicone may be the answer?! The problem with Teflon it’s a killer for the environment and the cost is insane for such an area. The silicone has some amazing reviews so we’re going to put it to the test when we launch the boat and see what the score really is!

For sure! We all do it to go sailing, many loose track of that! I guess it depends on what your building and why? Mind you, I’m not likely to replace something with old tech any more.
To be honest.. not any real sailer wont saildrive nowdays .... old bad tec..
Really? Are we going to the “real sailor” debate? Any how, a lot has changed with sail drives but I’m keen to known reasoning behind this comment?
Interesting but too much talking!
@jean-bernarddemilton8577 Cheers for that, point noted. Mind you, would it still be interesting if I was not talking?
I’m giving you my insights as a shipwright, sharing that knowledge and experience I’ve gained. It’s hard to do this without speaking.
I could give you a sales pitch in a flash but is that really what you want?
Any feedback is much appreciated, cheers,
Chris
I disagree. I would like more information on the products. Unfortunately the people at shows are sometimes not knowledgeable about sailing or products.
Thanks! Don’t you worry, we’ve got plenty in the bag for you. Give us a shout over on Patreon if you want anything in particular covering or help making any decisions for your boat 👍
I agree, talk too fast too. Need more talk into details. Too much other talks.
Sorry chaps, it is what it is.
