After all that…IT DOESN’T FIT. Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 408

- It feels like everything lately has been one step forward, two steps back, including one of our most challenging projects of the haulout: Replacing our furler motor. As difficult as it was though, I really enjoy projects like this that involve a lot of creativity. A lot of stars had to align to make this one happen including tracking down a retired Swiss guy who used to make the original parts and getting him to dig them up from his basement and send them to me 😂 and I'm super happy with how it all turned out in the end. We had a lot of victories in the yard, but lots of set backs as well, and as is usually the case with boat projects everything was taking longer than we had hoped for. So with the clock ticking we decided to bust out the big guns, and we welcomed Super Ryan back to save the day.

That motor story is amazing. From the retired guy to the patrons helping you design and fabricate that part -- all virtually. Amazing times we live in.
I know 😁so much help from all over the world to get everything to come together, so awesome!
@@svdelos I forgot to add the fact the Brian was able to actually take that thing apart, re-assemble it, and manage the whole process... it's inspiring.
I think you need o co template a new sail boat, I follow SV Delos, and another they upsized to a newer 44 footer with the Help of their supporters
@@svdelos would it be nice to have "digital twin" of Delos? XD EVERYTHING as combined cad files in one place. :D I was in KSA and they were talking about this.
@@trangenusa yeah they aren't going to do that because they aren't scumbags
After 13 years at sea, it's amazing how things break and he still manages to fix them.
After watching Delos and few other sailing channels, I’m honestly amazed at the kindness of complete strangers. Offering to help design and then create a custom part and ship it to you. If more people approached life like this, it would make the world a better place.
This is exactly what makes this world a better place. If you see a place that is not a great place then the kindness of people working together did not occur.
do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
The sailing and boating community is second to none.
Good luck guys. Seeing Mormor and nugget reunions always touches My heart. ❤
Me too, Mormoor and nugget reunions are super cute ❤
Mormor is just an incredible woman and the poster child for what a grandmother should be!
Glad to see Mormor and nugget in videos. She will always have them as treasures when Mormor is no longer around! What a wonderful lady!
I like the video when they're sailing offa the coast of S. Africa and poor Mor-mor gets seasick, but she's a shield-maiden and she recovers and the next day it was "Skol"!
Is Nugget bilingual (Swedish & English)
I think it's pretty safe to say that everyone loves Mormor! Love seeing her and the nugget together.
A well-deserved shout out to the Swiss gentleman, Chris, and Jeff for their combined mechanical engineering/machinist skills. Mike and David, for your boatyard, assistance with the furler. Delos is in good hands with Mormor to the rescue, Kazza, and Ryan in the mix. Thanks for sharing. BTW, it's great to see the Trautman family together in Florida on Instagram. ❤️
OMG YOUR Patrons/fans are the best. that's gotta feel pretty good! cheers.
That's a nice whistle," "yeh". My heart melted. xx
We'll guy's you never know who is going to offer a helping hand Brian you seem to attract good people to always help, I see when you're a boater people like to help so Brian cazza, little one you're in good hands will people helping be safe guy's looking forward to seeing ya'll back on the water 🤙🏾❤️
Brian, the old saying of “keep it simple” comes to mind while watching you faff about with the furler motor. My furler rollesup the genny when I pull on a line and the genny unrolls when I pull on the sheet. Keeping it simple!!!!!
Jack of all trades does not even come close to the skill set Brian has aquired in the adventure that is Delos. Repairs are never cheap but being able to do so much yourself saves an incredible amount I'm sure.
Friday morning and already get a visit from the Delos tribe.. priceless..
Nothing in the world like Grandma for precious Sierra 😍🌷♥️💞💓🙌🎉WOO HOO Sierra 🎉🥳🤩💞💓
The way you guys embrace family, remain positive, and always strive to push on is a true inspiration. My heart warmed and grew 10 sizes watching MorMor and the nugget. Keep up the good work Delos & Tribe🫶👏👏
So enterprising in making the furler adaption and I know from experience modifying gear because spares are unavailable is basically redesign without the facilities.
Be proud Brian you are the Man.
Grand mothers and grand children, are a beautiful thing.
Brian and Kazza, your videos are so thoughtfully put together. They're entertaining, informative, and personal. Keeping it real, but always motivational. Thank you for so generously sharing your adventures and glimpses of your family with the world - your sincerity and hard work continues to inspire people around the globe to reciprocate.
Oh loved the Mor Mor and Sierra part!!! Such a special bond. Thanks for sharing,
MORMOR CAM WAS AWESOME!!!!!❤ ❤❤
very beautiful moment with her abuela..
I’m reading my crisp new Cruising World magazine, in the middle of Behan Gifford’s story of refitting S/V Totem in Mexico, and there’s Delos’ bow peeking into the picture of Totem’s new engine being hoisted aboard. Way to get that free advertising!
Wow! Great video! The editing evolves yet again. Well done! Loved the screen shoutouts to volunteers and patrons. You are appreciative and it shows. The split screens of Mor Mor and Sierra had big grins on our faces. So much love there. Take care and trust bringing in Ryan will expedite your timeline.
Probably the one thing i love about boatlife is that most of us are willing to assist when help is needed ⛵️
I think more people know more about sailing than maintaining. I especially like these project videos. I’d love to see a video on your tools.
The furler story was a highlight of the episode. I am so impressed with the amount of maintenance work that continually needs to be done on a boat and how well you guys get it done. The sea is truly a harsh environment for all the systems.
If one is not mechanically inclined or wealthy they should not plan on owning a boat. A boat is nothing more than one giant never ending project.
No matter the frustration , you killed it.
All that hard work, designed by utter genius then it’s brought to a juddering halt by a hole, or the lack of one !!!!!😮
Keep up the good work. Nice to hear One Tox at the end. Going to go back and look at those old videos.
I'm just starting my sailing adventures on a 1976 Ericson 36c. Launch from a foreign harbour just got set back by a week which lost me a crew member, I barely have enough money to get the crew and boat back to my harbour, I'm not even sure if she'll be fit to sail lake Erie. However, watching all the shit you guys have to go through gives me confidence that I can get 'er done. Thank you for that
That's an amazing story of calling the retired Swiss furler motor guy up and procuring used parts from him 😆.
Great job Brian especially the furler between contacting the original machinist who built it and getting those spare parts and the adapter plate and even doing a tad of engineering your self. Also just going through your list while Sierra remains blissfully unaware of your drama. With her grandma here to help and new help arriving everything is under control.
We heard about the Swiss guy as well and were thinking to get the furler parts, but I guess you needed it more! Great job, lots of success! greetings from Greece
I am constantly amazed at how much work you need to do to keep your boat in top sailing condition. Thankfully you have good friends and family to help. I can’t help but wonder would a newer boat be as much work keeping it in top condition? It seems that you have a hard time getting parts, thankfully you can almost always get help online. Great to se Mormor come to the rescue again.
Superstar Ryan back. You guys are blessed
Mom saves the day, you guys are great!
Sierra is really something else! I just love watching her grow up, she’s just so beautiful, smart and she’s really FUNNY! Dancing in the kitchen was hilarious….. She always seems to make everything better and everyone feels important, she’s an amazing little girl, you guys have done a wonderful “parenting” job, which is really saying a lot currently….Congratulations!!🏆🥂🍾
Never fails- when you get something all put together there is a show stopper and you have to go back to square one! Its great that you fully understand every system. Working in small hot spaces isn't fun, your patience is amazing.
Omg 😂 the amount of work! I'll never complain again about my job.😂
Dear Delos crew,
I'm so happy for you, that you were able to get everything done, without having to clear everything from one corner to the other and that day after day.
Children need a lot of exercise (I now that because of my kids), so your shore leave was quiet perfect for Sierras urge to move.
Did Sierra finally got to use her bike on land too? 🚲
Regarding the 'Sailboat Furler Systems' I don't understand one thing at all:
Why do manufacturers keep changing the furling systems for sailboats? In this case, the design has even been significantly degraded: reduced from 3 mounts to 2. What about the distribution of forces? (Never touch a running system - except for maintenance purposes...)
Anyway, it's great that Delos community were able to help you so quickly! Well done!
I'm already looking forward to your next videos and wish you a nice crossing, good winds and stay healthy!
PS: Awesome timelaps (starting at 10:38) and wow, what fantastic sky colors!
Many hugs from Austria🤗
Hooray, i nominate Ryan for a cruiser academy award for best performance in a supporting role!
Mormor and Sierra montage made me tear up a bit. Priceless ♥️
Absolutely crushing all the work guys! How crap it’s practically a new boat!
It is great seeing the family come together. Super Ryan and Super Marmor join us for this episode. This is not just any rescue, this is a Super Episode! (Echo...then fade...) Also a shout goes out through the universe to Ryan's wife, our often unsung hero, without her giving up important events like their 17th Anniversary and many other special holidays, this Super Team would not be able to come together. As for Ryan, she is the wind beneath his cape. ❤
The best part is boat fixing which shows a true sailor.
Got the SV Delos long sleeve shirt a few days ago. Got a healthy rolling of my wifes eyes, oh well. Us Sailors need to stick together! Love all the repair and replace details.
Hahaha, love it 😂 Glad you're enjoying the boat work vids!
Kaz, Mor Mor is a Peach! How nice of her to come and help you out!😊
Nice music edit transition into Ramukanji! Thanks for keeping that crazy song for us! Cheers, and love to Grace. Hope she's doing well!
I like that big rusty ship in the drone shot . looks like something out of waterworld
The boat work videos are always my faves!
Great to see the nugget getting some good grandma time
Warms my heart to see Sierra with her grandma
Love boatwork with Brian, and moments with Kazza and the Nugget! Be well ❤️
As a technician i love this project episodes.
That song will forever be the song of Delos. Can't help but groove with it every time and I'm so happy you guys still find a place to throw it in. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your great adventures.
Always feel less manly seeing Brian basically build everything he needs on Delos! Crushing hard Brian!! You guys are awesome!
Brian, you are the main man at sailorizing the shit out of anything!!
Welcome back, we missed you guys!
Great team always on the standby for helping you
Wow guys, if it is not one thing it is another, we are going thru the same thing during our refit, I hear you when you say so something easy to give you a boost. Thanks for sharing guys take care
Left frame at 18:58 is a spectacular shot! PRINT!
What I love about this channel is the creative "can do" attitude. It is a rare person who would bother reaching our to a guy in France, retired, on the off chance he had a pile of crap in his cellar. Coordinate with other folks to craft a bespoke part and solve a problem. So many folks, just go for the easy rather than the creative. Kudos to Brian and Kazza!
Aw thanks, yeah we definitely had to think outside the box on this one 😂
Good to have the old distinctive Delos tunes back!
Take care yall loved every minute of your show!!!
Love you guys! Thanks for the smiles!!
Can't believe how big Sierra is getting!
How bad am I when Brian say's I can't find the hole, I instantly think "that's what she said"!!🤣
I think the best sailors have to be renaissance people. Not only do you have to know how to sail and navigate the boat, you have to know how to repair and maintain all the systems, manage a limited budget, provision the boat, deal with bad weather/breakdowns/injuries/illnesses, manage stress/frustration, pace and take care of yourself, and keep a positive outlook - all while remembering to pause and enjoy life once in a while.
I can't imagine what it takes to keep Delos afloat after so many years of sailing. Delos isn't young either so work required to keep her going isn't small I'm sure.
Brian, as we sailors get older every maintenance task we do gets harder and more frustrating to accomplish. That is perfectly normal. When we were young we could do 4 tasks in one day, yet as we get older it takes 4 days to accomplish one task.
Mormor and Nugget are the cutest together.
Grandma's joy at spending time with Sierra is palpable. I know how she feels. I have grandchildren the same size as Sierra. No matter what they do or say it creates a wave of joy which warms the heart.
It's life affirming and cancels out almost all of the other shitty things we have to do to get by.
They are pure joy.
Great video, love that night, transition, time laps, and grandma is getting good at filming!
The sea is your friend but it is also your enemy. Do the Nuggs dance!
I commend you guys for sailing the oceans for years. It has been fun watching you guys from time to time. Are you going to consider another boat when more parts become obsolete and difficult to replace?
I wish all the best to you and love watching your TH-cam channel
Seeing Mormor & Sienna together & hearing Siennas sweet cackles of laughter with Mormor… that was so heartwarming.
Appreciate the timelapse sky.
Sad to see the chemtrails.
Keep filming that please. 🤙🏽
Great to see a visit from Mormor. Tough times on the water cooling. Hope the fix goes well.
That's what she said 😂😂😂😂 great video like always
That shot of your mom sitting at picnic table on the beach with Sierra sitting on top is a great shot. You need to print that one for your Mom!
Sean. Astrophotographer
Project Galore😜 Are ya gonna get “Starlink”? Several Cruisers I follow have already installed & seem pleased…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎
Hey Steven, yep we got a Starlink since our old system won't work in the South Pacific. So far its been working great, and we've been hearing some promising things about coverage in French Polynesia
Groovy video. I think over the years of watching your channel, I have seen most of your boat get rebuilt. I think most of the movable parts have been replaced. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Sierra is one lucky young lady to grow up on the Ocean with such cool parents.
(*huge fan from the beginning)
Mor Mor cam! Yea! Great to see you guys. Enjoyed the update.
Im getting to be a softy in my old age, but I always get tear in my eye when Sierra and grandma get together. So sweet!
Your mother is so cute ❤ great grandmother!
Aw, so glad Mormor and Ryan are back to help you all get your boat work done.❤
There's a TH-camr, Electrical Engineer, Vanlife guy out of the Check Republic (Ladi & Margaret) who built in a 3D Printer in the space above his driver's seat in his Sprinter Conversion. He fabricates his own parts on the road in Timbuktu, and it works!
Very cool to watch - you guys have the best family and friends in the world. It's amazing to see other people help out with their skills and knowledge even though they are in different parts of the world.
Loved that little mormor segment! Kazza is so lucky to have her mom visit.
How in the world can you repay Ryan for all of his efforts!
I love Sierra's "whoo-hoo" on her bicycle. Gets me every time. Too sweet!
this entire episode was filled with "thats what she said" jokes. literally haha
Kazza came back to Delos at the right time for Brian, sooooo glad the neighbours had left for the day was a an understatement I bet.........🙂
the part with murmur and the nuggs brought tears to my eye's :´)
Great job Brian!!! The little things...then one big thing. You figured it out, no problem. Shmuckin Fart. ;). It's good to be on land for the little one, she looks like she had a blast. All the best. Always love the videos.
"That's what she said!" .... (beer out the nose) ... 🤣😂🤣
❤❤❤❤ can't wait to see crossing of the Pacific
Love these. It’s so nice to see Brian share the hard work maintaining the boat you love. Makes me appreciate your work and videos more. Also I love that you still include the Nuggets bike crash woohoo clip. Makes me smile every time!! 😀
Mor mor is just the best! ❤❤
Lot of work 2 do keep up don’t give in yet there is end somewhere ❤❤❤
