This episode has packed up a lot more work than it actually showed, thanks to the magic of film editing. Steve, "The Anchor Guy", gave an invaluable masterclass to all of us, and he seems like a really wonderful, most generous guy. But we must not forget the world's greatest mom, who, in her elegantly discreet manner helps out this project more than we can all imagine! Mother! Mother! Mother! Txchun!
When it comes to naming the boat I think it would be wonderful to name it after your mom. What a great way to honor your mom and all the support and hard work she's put into this boat and raising you to turn out the type of man you are.
Hi Matt, Judy and Janni, so good seeing you guys every week even though you’re so far away and see all your accomplishing each week I might get to take a trip in that boat yet if you get it finished in time that would be nice.
You guys have come on by leaps and bounds - both in respect to building one of the coolest boats out there and in the way you manage to capture the transformation. Your channel has become my favorite - and you have become a firm fixture of my Wednesdays.
I'm in awe with a) the number of trips you made in and out of the boat doing the layup, and b) the fact that you did it in the same pair of 'epoxy rich' gloves!!! Really nice work!
Interesting video. I'm an old powerboater but wish I had followed your path when I was much younger. I certainly learned a lot about sailboats by watching your videos. Thanks.
You know you are spending so much time with your Mum on this project I think it will be a sad day when you sail off into the sunset without her. I think it is so awesome that your mum loves helping her wee boy out on his boat, she just exudes joy and pride in everything you do. A very special bond.
Be careful with a roll bar anchor, it may not come up correctly oriented. If that happens it won't slide over your bowsprit but rotate and crash into the side of the bowsprit instead. We really like the Mantus swivel, very simple and robust. I also believe you'll have to remove the anchor when passaging. The surface area of these new anchors is very large and when you dive through waves, as a sixty foot boat does, the anchor puts an enormous load on the bowsprit. We've bent the solid SS anchor support provided by Mantus. We sail a 60' boat with a 124 pound Rocna as our primary anchor. We remove it when passaging and store it below.
I'm surprised that some iconic leisure wear company hasn't picked up on this channel and offered to 'dress' Matt and his Mom for their endeavours ... perfect advertising opportunity 😊
Hey guys, loved that little conversation about the chain plates, haha, one can never get enough chain plate action but I guess there is so much more going on that we don't see in this project. Anyhow, great video, long live the chain plates and here's to more amazing footage of more great projects ahead. Wishing well....Neil 😊😊☘☘
People forget that non-metal resin, fibers, glues, etc are often stronger than steel; inch vs. inch. Super glue and 3M bow in shame at the altar of the humble barnacle or chimney swift and it's amazing natural glue / spit. In my business, we learned long ago that animal urine and the elements can eat through steel in a mere 6 to 8 weeks depending on the critter. But, use the right resin or polymer? And it will last for 50+ years. You are a fiberglass artisan my friend! Everything is looking great! If I was a younger man, I might have gotten into the fiberglass game. It's play-dough for adults.
It still amazes me modern epoxy can provide enough strength that no physical attachments (bolts) are needed for the chainplates! Wonderful job again and I'm loving the design for bowsprit and anchor.
The comment of the anchor guy about wanting the ability to use shackles if the swivel connector fails is a very good one. As a compromise, could you have a wider opening in the anchor slot, forward of the chain plate and say only 6 inches long, that would allow you to get a shackle through? It might not self stow or easily drop - you'd need to be there to guide the shackle through by hand - but it would give the fallback option. This might also help with using a chain hook for a snubber for short stops when rigging a full bridle is too much hassle. Also, note I say shackles plural. Everything I've read says use two shackles - one onto the anchor and another onto the chain, with round bit of the two shackles onto each other. This gives much of the articulation that the swivel gives. Great episode, and compliments to your mother - despite many family sailing holidays, mine never joined in when it came to maintenance!
Anchor system: 1)anchor 2)swivel 3) chain [for 2 or 3 feets] and 4) shackle and again 5)chain. It is only my personal view taking care your first idea, of the area and place on the bow. (hope that my words are clear??) Thank you for teaching this technic for ""plastic"". Bon courage and stay safe.
Kevlar was used to strengthen the composit fordecks of many ocean racers "back in the day". I was foredeck boss on a big Peterson IOR boat named Bullfrog. We were loaded up and in the middle of a jibe when the topping lift parted and the pole punche a huge hole in the deck. We had to dowse the chute andcwithdraw from the race because the integrity of the bow was compromised. Later, as the repairs were being made, she was reinforced with kevlar over-laminates. She was an aluminum boat with a honetcomb aluminum cored deck.
10:10 Am I the only one, finding this part of the video extremely enjoyable to watch? all the way to 13:35 ish, we get a short intro to what we are about to watch, then we get an interesting question that leads to us listening to a cozy and fun conversation... just brilliant in my humble opinion
So many choices. I think the more people you talk to and the more videos you watch, will just keep adding to the mix. I am looking forward to how you will do the bow sprit and anchor.
1:03 hi, loving the series about Duracell’s restoration and plans for a new life! I’m a structural engineer and so am paid to dream up faintly possible load cases and then provide belt and braces to deal with them. Regarding the Code Zero anchor point: have you considered the prying force from the sail pulling the chainplate forward, which might overload the epoxy glue at the top and maybe progressively rip the chai plate off (think how you pull a plaster off)? Maybe this prying force will be resisted by the way the chain plate will be bonded forward of the deck bulkhead?
I’m pretty sure that Practical Sailor has removed their initial approval of the Mantus swivel and chain hook which, imho, was the best load rated swivel and hook on the market. Of the “experts” like your visitor, it seems to me the consensus for best practice is “load rated shackles”. I’m not ready to discard my Mantus yet because where I cruise here in México it’s unlikely I’ll ever be in a situation to overload it. However, I am weather diligent and knowledgeable so should a situation arise I am set up to make appropriate changes.
I made a mock up of the Vulcan and bought one based in the mock up fitting. But the real thing just didn’t fit well and mainly because it wobbled around so much due to the profile. I swapped it for a Rocna and couldn’t be happier.
Hey, Matt, I’m not a “boat guy,” just a construction superintendent. Why couldn’t you use a shackle turned vertically so it would fit into the bowsprit slot(and not foul when being raised or lowered) if you put a welded ring through the anchor eye? Do they make a stainless split ring big enough to put through the anchor eye with enough room to slide a shackle through, too? Just a thought.
The old swivel debate seems to have three camps; I would always, I would never and I don't know. Me personally I use swivels. Mantus makes a robust one. I've also used galvanized eye & eye swivels for years with and never had any issues.
Your discussion on further carbon fiber chainplates made me curious: have you thought about adding two facing aft through the transom for a Jordan series drogue to attach? Your videos have me thinking about doing that for my own boat, which otherwise has no chainplates (it has freestanding masts).
6:42 could ya get any more “FUNKY” with the tunes? (I think not!) been following from the start. Don’t comment very often but had to be a smarty this one. 🤪😇. Thanks for sharing.
The circle is complete. I found you guys after Mia and Aladino first visited you. They are repairing a Cape George. The anchor guy works at Cape George. Coincidence? Great craftmanship on the chainplates. Out of an abundance of caution, would you consider inserting some 1" solid carbon rod dowels glued through the chainplates and the hull/stem/knees so that you are not relying solely on the adhesive strength of the epoxy ?
Politely as I can - that's nuts. You don't want to disturb the laminate. Folks, it's not a metal plate you bolt on. It's bonded on. Carbon chainplates have been used for >20 years with excellent results. Would you tell those F1 car designers "hey better bolt those pieces together, you can't just glue them" (or Boeing 787 or Airbus 350; both have literally tons of carbon fiber glued together)
Love the carbon chain plates. Why didn’t you stack the carbon layers and install all at once instead of individual layers? Also, don’t like stainless underwater (I’ve seen stainless swivels corrode galvanized shackles).
Very interesting and compliments for the professional work. A question: wouldn't kevlar added to carbon make the chainplates less brittle and more resistant to traction?
You should study it?! My first catamaran was built in 1979 with 2 layers of Kevlar49 included in the sandwich polyester balsa construction. It made it practically unbreakable.
Question? The forward most chainplate (the one that is just glued on? From the video it didn't look like direction of the shroud is going to be parellel to the chainplate? This would cause forces to not only be in sheer? Assume you probably have accounted for this in the math and just mispoke in the description, but just jumped out at me as a potential problem
@@TheDuracellProject Figured you had accounted for it, and the explantion on video was just the simplied down version. Been a VERY VERY long time since I did stress/strain analysis in composite materials but I remember how quickly things got complicated, and those off axis stresses ramp up quickly depending on fiber orintation, and angles involved. Sure your guy doing the math is on top of it. Not sure I would have made same design choices, but enjoying seeing your process.
@@TheDuracellProject I believe it is compression on its glue side and stretch on the front side from the bending moment, which creates a likely small lifting force right below the top edge of the glue surface and everything below will be shearing load. Not ideal, but no issue as long as the loads do not exceed what the material can do. I wonder if the Kevlar was meant to distribute the load of the knee to deck and hull. Not sure how many viewers would be attracted or bored by showing the forces and how the FEA diagram looks like, but I would enjoy it. :)
Where are you sourcing all this carbon from? I don’t even own a boat yet and I’m ready to make carbon chain plates. Might put some chain plates on my truck.
@@TheDuracellProject was it the engineer that made all the decisions of weight, weave, and thickness of of the layup? I remember you quickly went over all of this in an earlier episode, but how would anyone else go about doing something similar? And if it is the decision of the naval architect, how does someone go about finding one of them? I realize these are all rhetorical questions considering I don’t have a boat. To say you have inspired me would be an understatement. One day, when I grow up, I hope to find myself in a similar situation as you.
@@martinbruckner2109Well.... maybe the designer was worried about hitting an iceberg at speed. I wouldn't use Kevlar these days on a deck. And you should use Kevlar on the inside of sandwich, where its higher tensile strength is useful. In an impact, the inside skin is in tension.
So I just don’t understand why you aren’t looking at ultramarine anchors, from all the in detesting they are considered the best and also very beautiful

I love seeing people take the time to overbuild stuff! A boat is the only thing between you and the scariest place on earth! Build it right!
The shot with carbon fiber and waferwood is just so....interesting. ;) many thanks.
It still amazes me modern epoxy can provide enough strength that no physical attachments (bolts) are needed for the chainplates! Wonderful job again and I'm loving the design for bowsprit and anchor.
Nice mixture of Coosa board and the carbon chain plates Matt, especially where you need that stiffness and strength. Wish you ran for an hour, mate.
Great work as always and really enjoyed seeing a bit of the town as well. Awesome job guys, love seeing this family project continue.
I'm anxious to see the bow complete.
Love your channel and always enjoy your choice of music. Your channel is very inspiring.
I like the way that it all turns out so smooth after all the surgery and reassemble work is done. I'll see you Saturday. Thanks for the video 😁😁😁👍👍
See you soon, Jim!

Maybe too strengthen the deck against water,swell and ice falling down in case of an impact?
So many choices. I think the more people you talk to and the more videos you watch, will just keep adding to the mix. I am looking forward to how you will do the bow sprit and anchor.
Oh bringing the funk out for this montage. Very Bad Obsession Motorsports of you.

It being a code zero there won’t be a high load peeling force. That’s a light wind downwind sail.
I enjoyed the episode guys. Loved the music when your mum was wetting out the carbon. Your due diligence will pay off ten fold when shes ready to sail
So good Man! Awersome.
I want to see the Matt’s A-Z Airbagging Guide episode. Including timings.
I’ll never get bored of your meticulously made carbon chai plates don’t worry!
I’m pretty sure that Practical Sailor has removed their initial approval of the Mantus swivel and chain hook which, imho, was the best load rated swivel and hook on the market.

You can even make your own anchor, that wouldn't be your hardest job.
Just like “more COWBELL”, more carbon CHAINPLATE!! Nice work guys. Carbon use seems so exotic somehow
I made a mock up of the Vulcan and bought one based in the mock up fitting. But the real thing just didn’t fit well and mainly because it wobbled around so much due to the profile. I swapped it for a Rocna and couldn’t be happier.
Cheers from Brazil!!
I really enjoy the project Matt
Hey, Matt, I’m not a “boat guy,” just a construction superintendent. Why couldn’t you use a shackle turned vertically so it would fit into the bowsprit slot(and not foul when being raised or lowered) if you put a welded ring through the anchor eye? Do they make a stainless split ring big enough to put through the anchor eye with enough room to slide a shackle through, too? Just a thought.
because if the anchor were to come up turned 90 degrees it could still jam in there. As for your second question, i don't know!
I always watch all of Steve's video's. He has great info.
Looks like Matt got plenty of exercise that day.
Great video
Well done.
Could you install a raised channel to allow a shackle to run through the bowsprit and maybe just widen the the end to let the shackle drop through?
I think I’m gonna widen the channel
The old swivel debate seems to have three camps; I would always, I would never and I don't know. Me personally I use swivels. Mantus makes a robust one. I've also used galvanized eye & eye swivels for years with and never had any issues.
Calling in the Experts is a great way to go.
5:34 “would you just look at that” 😂
👍for the music
I'm mystified by balsa spots vs foam. But knowing Mike what ever was lying around free went into the boat.
that's a good hypothesis!
Your discussion on further carbon fiber chainplates made me curious: have you thought about adding two facing aft through the transom for a Jordan series drogue to attach? Your videos have me thinking about doing that for my own boat, which otherwise has no chainplates (it has freestanding masts).
i hadn't thought about it until now
You should do a colab with Leo (from Tally Ho youtube chanel) ! It would be very interesting to have your opinions on the two boats you are building !
You could try two parallel plates with two bolts, one threaded hole in each plate, button head bolts too. ???
6:42 could ya get any more “FUNKY” with the tunes? (I think not!) been following from the start. Don’t comment very often but had to be a smarty this one. 🤪😇. Thanks for sharing.
This boat MUST be either named for or christened by Matt's Mom.
Watching you paint over the carbon fiber hurts my soul
Pretty gool episode, Matt. I, for one, think carbon chainplates are cood.
Grool mate
sv panope is the reason I bought a Vulcan. great channel.
What do you mean? I'm a structural engineer. I love chain plates!
The circle is complete. I found you guys after Mia and Aladino first visited you. They are repairing a Cape George. The anchor guy works at Cape George. Coincidence? Great craftmanship on the chainplates. Out of an abundance of caution, would you consider inserting some 1" solid carbon rod dowels glued through the chainplates and the hull/stem/knees so that you are not relying solely on the adhesive strength of the epoxy ?
i think i would piece of mind in a big sea
Politely as I can - that's nuts. You don't want to disturb the laminate. Folks, it's not a metal plate you bolt on. It's bonded on. Carbon chainplates have been used for >20 years with excellent results. Would you tell those F1 car designers "hey better bolt those pieces together, you can't just glue them" (or Boeing 787 or Airbus 350; both have literally tons of carbon fiber glued together)
i very liked the podcast like voice while video was sped up
Awsome !!
Love the carbon chain plates. Why didn’t you stack the carbon layers and install all at once instead of individual layers?
Also, don’t like stainless underwater (I’ve seen stainless swivels corrode galvanized shackles).
You could - but likely better removal of air bubbles and smoothing down all the layers.
Are you sure you want/need checkstays? Can't you get by with aft swept spreaders?
the spreaders are not swept aft enough to not need them
Very interesting and compliments for the professional work. A question: wouldn't kevlar added to carbon make the chainplates less brittle and more resistant to traction?
i don't know, i have very little experience with kevlar
You should study it?! My first catamaran was built in 1979 with 2 layers of Kevlar49 included in the sandwich polyester balsa construction. It made it practically unbreakable.
The crowd begins to chant: "We want MOAR carbon chain plates!" "And when do we want them?" "NOW!"🤪
y'all are crazy ;) Even WE are sick of chainplates!
Did I miss the kitty? :) Didn't see him this epsoide.
the inspector is on vacay this week. she'll be back next week with a vengeance i'm sure
Question? The forward most chainplate (the one that is just glued on? From the video it didn't look like direction of the shroud is going to be parellel to the chainplate? This would cause forces to not only be in sheer? Assume you probably have accounted for this in the math and just mispoke in the description, but just jumped out at me as a potential problem
you're right, but since it's on the forward side of the stem, the other load direction is in compression, but it's mostly in sheer
@@TheDuracellProject Figured you had accounted for it, and the explantion on video was just the simplied down version. Been a VERY VERY long time since I did stress/strain analysis in composite materials but I remember how quickly things got complicated, and those off axis stresses ramp up quickly depending on fiber orintation, and angles involved.

what type boat was your old boat you guys lived on. thanks
a home built 40 foot sloop named Louise. We loved that boat and many of duracell's interior design features are inspired by Louise.
I like the stainless steel chain plate
I want all the carbon chain plate action.
Can please explain what the vacuum back does for you?
makes the final product stronger and lighter
Where are you sourcing all this carbon from? I don’t even own a boat yet and I’m ready to make carbon chain plates. Might put some chain plates on my truck.
good idea! ;) I get it from fiberglass supply here in WA, but you can get it many places
@@TheDuracellProject was it the engineer that made all the decisions of weight, weave, and thickness of of the layup? I remember you quickly went over all of this in an earlier episode, but how would anyone else go about doing something similar? And if it is the decision of the naval architect, how does someone go about finding one of them? I realize these are all rhetorical questions considering I don’t have a boat. To say you have inspired me would be an understatement. One day, when I grow up, I hope to find myself in a similar situation as you.
I think you should lean into it and just make the whole boat from carbon chain plates.
Interesting!
👍
in out in out in out
Naff music choice.
Neat work on the carbon fibre job.
Followed you since your beginning, but I don’t remember the stats on the boat. Can you or Mrs Duracell please revisit?
60 feet LOA, 15 foot beam, around 15 ton displacement, current keel draws 12 feet
Wider track for the anchor and build the bowsprit out of kevlar.
Nobody uses Kevlar these days. It's really weak in compression. Carbon or E-glass if you can't afford carbon.
Yes but it peobably keeps the bow from ripping open in case of an impact by distributing the load even after the resin matrix has already failed.
@@martinbruckner2109Well.... maybe the designer was worried about hitting an iceberg at speed. I wouldn't use Kevlar these days on a deck. And you should use Kevlar on the inside of sandwich, where its higher tensile strength is useful. In an impact, the inside skin is in tension.
So I just don’t understand why you aren’t looking at ultramarine anchors, from all the in detesting they are considered the best and also very beautiful
we can't afford one
