Good looking centerboard you've got there Troy. I strongly suspect it will look even better once it's dressed in glass. I can hardly wait to see it working with the rudder guiding that sweet boat through the water. The tension is building.
I have watched your channel for a while and really enjoyed the sailing adventures. However I really like your wood working episodes. Great knowledge, no fancy workshop full of tools. Just great skills, understated presentation style and interesting project. So - thank you. I’m looking forward to your next adventure. You even taught me some features about the Hikoki router, which I also have. Learning every day …….. 😊
Thanks for this! You appear to be enjoying doing the project as much as we enjoy watching you doing the project. Cheers to you from Victoria 🇨🇦. Have a great week you three!
Thanks again Troy. I've never thought of "floating" the resin but have poured concrete, so immediately recognized the technique. Appreciate you voicing your thought process. And now I'll have to get that attachment for my multi tool as I have a few projects as it is now pleasant in NE Ohio US. Be well.
When used with actual fibreglass, you may appreciate that tool for the reason it doesn't throw any dust or fibres into the air. Very easily kept controlled with a vacuum cleaner. Fibreglass without the itch or head to toe PPE
Very much enjoy watching the videos of boat work that you are doing. I find your tips & techniques very helpful for my own projects. Thaks so much. 🤗⛵🙂🐬S/V Cork~Texas🇺🇲
Thanks Troy and Pascel I have watched all of your productions and love them all. I'm inspired to comment because we're in Exmouth marina watching some weather come through and found Mirool on the same Jetty. You've been an inspiration for us as sailers for just 5 years to retire and have a good look at our coast on Catalina a seawind 1000. Loving the boat project . Tim
Nice work Troy. You should check out Sven Yrvind and what he does with epoxy encapsulated dyneema. He makes handles and cleats and do forth. You could make a hard strap for example, for your lifting eye. You keep the strength of the rope with stiffness of the resin.
Hi Troy, thanks for all the video love what you were doing I find it very interesting. Unfortunately I don’t have the patience to do stuff like this but I really appreciate people that do keep up the good work always enjoy the videos cliff from Queensland Australia
Great epoxy skills. I am sure your method worked well but also was thinking a 6mm drilled hole Dyneema soaked in epoxy and pushed in 2 holes formed loop easy quick and very very strong. Ideas I have seen on Sven Yrvind channel some great innovative ideas there.
I was just thinking about pushing the dyneema through the hole from both sides and knotting it, forming a loop. Using epoxy with it would be incredibly strong. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll go do a little research on combining the two technologies.
Hi Troy, I will be using your tips on using epoxy and wood dust for filling for my wood turning projects. Cant help but pass an envious eye over the gum trees you cut down. I have always thought that multi tools where just a gimmick but maybe I should look a little closer at them. Your videos are always full of good stuff.
They come into their own once actual fibreglass needs trimming, as they don't throw dust and fibres very far. Extremely easy to contain with a small vacuum cleaner, which limits the hours spent in a tyvek suit!
Hi troy. i have a 13 foot crusing dinghy, it has a steel centreboard, its quite heavy. i changed the wooden blocks over to frictionless rings to create a pully system for raising the centreboard. Their is some friction in the system yet it is no maintainance and totally managable. I have a boomless main where i also use frictionless rings as they are lighter and no maintinance. cheers
Hi Troy. I love the videos and get a lot of tips from your experience. Thank you. On the lifting point for the centreboard, might there be a problem with the dyneema getting jammed between the edge of the routed trough in the centreboard and the centreboard case during the lift as the direction of the pull from the block will change with respect to the direction of the trough? I hope I have explained that clearly enough! I also hope I am wrong!
I intended to put a plate to counter that problem, as there is a few mil to play with, but I have settled on epoxying the dyneema into the groove. Next episode will show what I mean, and yes, your explanation was crystal clear.

You’re an inspiration for us who are looking for a project. Good point about the shears.
You’re the best Troy!!! Thanks for sharing I do appreciate the time you put into these videos.
I really appreciate learning from your general know-how and the way you talk through your thought processes. Thanks!
I appreciate that!
My Mrs Molebash would be sooo proud! :-)
I always enjoy watching your best practices woodworking skills. Well done.
You’re such a good teacher Troy.

This is a great boat design, because it doesn't take a well appointed workshop. Thank you for the very kind words and good luck with the router.
I ALWAYS Love all you guys do!!!! COOL Stuff Troy!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for the excellent tips, and detailed narration. I'm about to start a Navigator, so finding your channel is a godsend!
Nice work, AGAIN!

Happy whale cruising!
Mirool lives again!!
Hey Troy amazing job.
You do such amazing work, time just flew by watching this. Keep up the good work, it is really super nice to watch.

Fab video, I'm always learning alongside you all.
Great to see more detail of your new build.
Had not thought about that blade for epoxy\fiberglass. Great trip.
The dust falls straight down, rather than everywhere!

That looks really nice well done
Great video, and info and tips.

We used those a lot on our refit of our previous boat, and I'm absolutely a convert. Dyneema and rings is a new paradigm.
Thanks!
Thank you!

Troy, I'm sure you'd enjoy watching a Swedish couple building a 50ft monohull yacht from scratch. "RAN sailing" is the name of his TH-cam channel.
If only there was the time!
👍👍⛵️
Fine saw dust from a blade like a bandsaw is easier to work with than from a belt sander and won’t be lumpy
I do wish I had a bandsaw
how do you know that troy-lol
An experience most of us can relate to!
Lol @17:00
Relatable moment? :)
all too real
