Cutting the anchor free was called slipping the cable. In old sailing ships it was done often, but a float was attached so the ship could return and pick up its anchor after the danger had passed. Keep an old fender in your chain locker.
I don't keep up with Barry's "real-time" platforms, but the AIS shows White Shadow in a marina in Darwin for the the last approx. 3 months. The marina is not far from a major airport. Speculating here that Barry done took a trip somewhere. Again, I don't follow his real time platforms. 😎 Had to come back and comment on his "out-of-water" bilge, full of water, "out of water." 😂
Proper working shoes are mandatory in most boat yards nowdays , i know it is hot and humid in Bundy ..but small accident happen so quicky , same with gloves , best to wears them even around anchor chain ,and anywork with grinder or hammer , ect ..all the best in your recovery .
13:00 Instead of filler... swap the pan head bolts out with flat heads & finish washers, thru-bolted. Or flat head self tappers, finish washers & some 5200 to seal it up & help hold them in place.
That leg reminded me of when I ended up in hospital in Mount Isa. NW Queensland. I was working in one of the mines there. I nicked the front of my leg on, of all things, a piece of cardboard. Infection set in and before I knew it I was in hospital with my legs elevated and on a continuous antibiotic drip in one arm and a shunt in the other through which I had a two hourly antibiotic shot as well. A surgeon said to me, ‘welcome to the amputation capital of Australia, you were within a couple of hours of us taking both your legs off at the knee’! There were six of us in this hospital room, five with freshly amputated legs! Made me very aware of what could have happened! I was in there for six days and I’ve had recurring problems ever since! That was over fourteen years ago! The tropics can be a dangerous place to get an infection.
One of the boaters left his boat in NZ and went back to the States SDiego and came back to that and much more. He discovered that so much water had infiltrated via the deck that the deck was now soft ! Plus, it nearly wrecked a radio ect. Expensive HF. Lots of rain there and that year they even had a Typhoon !
Hi, Before you fit the new sounder, check what mastic you should use. Plastics can be affected by using the incorrect mastic. The supplier should know,
I totally agree with you about needing a Scag in front of or under a rudder. The only thing I don't like about that very long skeg is that it needs to have one more vertical support in front of the rudder just for strength without depending on the rudder for that strength.
Yes Barry, that is an older Hallberg Rassy, and you are so right. It's the one you should have bought from the start, so you wouldn't have had to constantly hunt for rust. 🇸🇪💕😄😀❤
My dad was a over the road truck driver. He ran from the midwest to California and back every week.. in the early 90s he was in southern California and fell asleep, had the windows down. Woke up threw on his clothes and then threw on his footwear.. turned out that a brown recluse spider had found his shoe quite a lovely place to stay. It of course bit him, he never did see the spider but he got home 3 days later and his foot was the size of yours and it was weird colors.. luckily he didn't loose the foot but after that he always stuck a clean rag in his shoes and tipped them upside down and smacked him to make sure nothing was in there
Great to see you again, Barry! I like your yard period video's. I always learn something by watching and listening to you take on those projects. Take it slow by easy now. Looking forward to next episode. 🍻
A really interesting episode, thank you! Thanks a lot, too, for the tip with the carabiner as the ultimate safety precaution at the end of the anchor chain.
Since you like a 3/4 fin keel and a full strut supporting the rudder you would like the underbody design of the Pacific Seacraft 34 that I have, identical in design to the 31 and the 37. By the way, when Bob Perry was designing the ultimate carbon fiber 60 ft cruiser he added a strut like that one boat that stretches from the back of the keel to the rudder strut, and called it a chastity strut, because without it you are f.
Hi Barry. Great to hear from you again. Always lots of interesting things to do in a boat yard. I bet you didn’t plan on meeting the foot of Mr Blobby. Hope it clears up soon, or your whole body will look like Blobby, Mr Blooby.😅😅😅
Thought you might be more enthusiastic about the Garcia 45 Exploration. They have a 52 and just launched a 60 version. Put your best foot forward and get well soon.
Hello old Seadog, great videos! You've earned another subscription! I noticed that your boat (minute 1:00 of the video) has two wheels on the stern. I was very interested in them. Do you know where to buy them? Are they sturdy? Do you recommend them? If you can tell me where to buy these, I'd be very grateful! Good winds and big hugs!!!
You should use proper sandals instead of those flipfloppers you have ( yes they are cheap but not good in the long run). Ptiy though its so long distance otherwise Id coming by and Cheered you up with some cans of beers. Hope everything goes well with your foot. Cheers. 👍
Always something we don’t expect. I just got something I don’t wish on anyone but I’m going to fight like hell. And I pray for your quick healing. On the brighter side you being British, I’m going to brag a little. My second granddaughter 6 month old was featured in the British Vogue December issue. And we live in Toronto Canada. We were just chucked. Take care Barry all the best lad.
Have you tried a hand held sandblasting gun, works pretty well for small areas! A little Ospho, some high zinc primer, paint and go:) New engine, a bikini clad Mrs. Barry and you'd really be ready for the next leg of your journey:)
Ok - Orcas (off Spain) don't care what type of rudder you have. They have disabled full keelers as well as spade. Also talk to any yacht designer about hull windows - the bonding between the window and hull is usually stronger than the hull itself. If you lose one you have bigger problems. You should have gone for a Najad or maybe a moody. More efficiency so less miles at sea, less maintenance so you have more beer time. But hindsight is easy.
Barry , when you paint the bottom,,, put chyanne pepper 🌶 in your bottom paint ,, will keep anything wanting to attach to it,, I had a 40ft tri hull and tryed it 3 years an nothing on bottom, only on prop and shaft,, hope it will help ,,,,don't be shy on the chyanne !!
Hemma/Major Tom is a Najad. I do have one myself😊 The one you think is a Najad, the one with red bottom, is actually a Hellberg Rassy. Take care. BR from Sweden (where Major Tom are from)
Always carry a big bottleb of Betadine for those cuts and scratches and apply immediately to stop getting nasty infections in tropics lost a friend who left it too late to get an infection seen to on his leg take care
Bloody hell, had heard you had had leg problems and looking forward to, and dreading, the next episode. Hopefully you're back on your pegs again. The boatyard trip had some lovely and tragic craft, and intrigued by future full-keel adventures. Thank you for another excellent video.
Can i quickly mention that i LOVED your tour of the boat yard and REALLY enjoyed your insight and opinion !! Maayyybeeee consider doing that more often if you come across an interesting one? (I'm sure once the owners realize your reach&audience many will gladly show you around ;)
Wow hope your foot/ leg healed up okay. Melioidosis bacteria? Emergency release of your anchor cable/chain. In the Australian navy they use what's known as a Blake slip also known as a Senhouse slip to secure the anchors when at sea, it is used to slip the anchor not in the cable/chain locker but may be a good option theyre solid and only require the removal of mauzing wire securing a pin then tap out the pin then a hit with a hammer. Or the above in conjunction with a lugged joining shackle. Easy to flood a bilge on a ship when up on the hard, fresh water and fire main systems are still charged. Cheers
Hi Barry hope the foot gets better . Taku Tori was sailed by my uncle Bill Tait from the east coast of the USA to Australia and sold her there in Bundaberg , sad to see her looking like that now
Steel boats = constant maintenance battling the never ending fight with rust, it takes a special kind of person to buy a steel boat, I think the word is masochist. Always on the hard, absolute nightmare
When you spend the whole night getting bashed up onto a reef and as the sun comes up on the high tide you pop upright into the lagoon, hoist your sails and sail away, you thank your steel boat.
@Antipodean33 if you have a something, of what material ever, you will have to maintain it; in it's special way the something requires.. you got well maintained steelboats from 100 + years as well as wooden ones. Just saying ;)
@@SayWhut276 im not sure you are up to speed on this. In 2020 Orcas started attacking sailing boats off NW Spain and this behaviour has spread to the Gibraltar straits. Dozens of boats have suffered damage from attacks and several have been sunk.
Oh my, that leg looks scary. Really hope you're on the mend by now. I'd keep flippy flops for a sandy beach from now on. I never considered the boatyard ground to be dangerous, won't be sitting outside my cousin's boat anymore for sure.
Since SV Aquarius was dismasted crossing the Atlantic, I think a lot of sailors are having or should have their rigging checked. Hopefully, yours is tiptop. You already know how serious your foot and leg are. Follow the doctors orders. Dead is no way to be. 👍
Barry, What I do with my Anchor rode is attach about 10 meters of nylon line and a small fender.to the end of the rode. Should I need to release the anchor I have a better chance of recovering it.
👍🏴you can get bronze transducers , not a fan of plastic even if it’s faired in, you seem to have a lot of ropes in the cockpit when sailing, can you fit a horse in front of sprayhood clear some sheets, any way good luck to you, my fathers passed away so sorting that out,just got my 1st OAP payment so will be going sailing very soon, unless god says uh uh uh no you don’t, live on my Hans Christian 41T kind regards Me👍🏴❤️

Damn Barry,that foot sent chills through me.Since you teased, there will be a next video.I'll assume you're still alive!😮

yep walking around in that gravel in flip flops, accident waiting to happen
Your idea with the cut away on the chain is a tip I will employ. Thank you as always
Work fascinates me, I can watch it all day.
Love boat repair videos. Keep it up!
The Hemma boat has the KSSS logo (Swedish sailing association, or something to that effect), and Hemma means "Home" or "At home" basicly =)
Royal Swedish Yacht Club
With a Swedish name and the red stripe I assume it's a Najad.
SSS = Stockholms Segelsällskap.
I Love Seeing You Do Magic With Shaddy, I Feel For You And Your Foot And Leg Problem, Prayers For Absolute Healing Barry 💯💯❤❤🙏🙏
I also enjoy walking around boatyards and seeing the variety of vessels on the hard.
Good to see the bitter end 👍
Good one 😜
Love the song.
You can easily beach Garcia exploration . Her ruddera are designed for this. It's a beautiful boat, Jimmy Cornell did a good job on it.
Yikes the old Sea Dog's dogs looked pretty scary! Another great video Barry. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Great video Barry....... Thanks
Oh noooo, what a cliffhanger! Hope your foot and leg are getting healed fast. All the best to you, Barry!
Phosphoric acid is crap, I sometimes use it as a prep, but after, use tannic acid.
Always a great show Barry .Maintenance and repairs are important .Just the same as owing a house .I think your life is a better one .
Really enjoyed the boat yard tour...thank you

Shazam Barry... always something happening to you not the best... I'll be here when you return... on the edge of my seat now... Fair Winds...
Hemma means home in Swedish. There was a Royal Swedish sailing club sticker at the bow.
Sad looking foot Barry 😰. Anyway, the fight against rust seems endless. I definitely will never buy a steel boat 😉
Yes,and in UK now many boat yards dont allow grinding ect.Have to build an expensive tent over it…..
Oh my god, that Garcia exploration is a dream boat. 💗
that garcia has twin rudders to stabilize it when you dry it out. it can take the weight, very imporessive boats.
Thank you for sharing your life with us you got us addicted to sailing videos stay safe Barry!!
One of the boaters left his boat in NZ and went back to the States SDiego and came back to that and much more. He discovered that so much water had infiltrated via the deck that the deck was now soft ! Plus, it nearly wrecked a radio ect. Expensive HF.

Thoroughly enjoyed that video Barry 😊 … great tip about the anchor chain 👍
Thank you Barry...
good luck with overhauling the boat
Yes that saying something! boat flooding while it's out of the water 😂
Wishing you quick healing Barry. That doesn’t look good
Ouch, I hope your foot gets better soon
