Colin, the situation may seem worse but if anyone can manage to improve the situation, it is you. Therefore the situation is just an inconvenience. You've dominated every large and small broken issue over the years and it has been extremely satisfying to watch how you break down the tasks to systematically rectify the problems this boat throws at you! Parts have failed, Lagoon 450 design has failed but nothing has stopped you as you improve, strengthen and repair your beautiful Jamie 465! You got this brother! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
Lagoons are one of the greatest boats and one of the worst in the same package . Fantastic for space and floating off a beach or chartering at a big bang for the buck . However they were cheap production boats never intended to last and not only poorly made but also not made to be fixed .
@@faircompetition1203 I will say that Colin has proven that they can be repaired and made stronger. All of the work he and the various crew members have done have increased the value of the yacht by double or more.
Cursed?..it just need periodic repairs like all boats. it was brought back to life by a knowledgeable and dedicated new owner, has crossed oceans, given hours of enjoyment to many people and is a superstar of TH-cam…I wish I was cursed.
Yeah, it’s. A boat, shit breaks. Did you see the Wynn’s episode where their liferaft disappeared and waves were crashing up through the cockpit floor? That was on a Leopard…
I’ll never forget my cousin telling me if I get a sailboat I need to prepare myself for fixing stuff all the time. I never believed her until I started watching these videos. I’m not patient enough to handle all the things going wrong.
@Mthanerco So if you were in the market for a catamaran similar in size and price to the lagoon 450, or maybe a little smaller like 40', which one would you get?
A true never ending saga. My heart goes out to you Colin and you crew. If its not one thing its another. Yet there again you are the guru when it comes to those Lagoons aren't you. Good luck and looking forward to the conclusion of THIS saga.
When ever anything goes wrong, my wife now says, "Be like Colin". Sh#t happens and you just get going and fix it. You got this. You will find a way and keep going. You are inspirational in your never be defeated attitude. We refer to you as the nicest man in the world, but you're the handiest too. Keep up the positive vibes and keep sailing, you're making a difference to so many lives on your boat and around the world.
I look forward to your video released every Sunday morning. Thanks for your family-friendly content, which can be enjoyed by everyone. Have a great week!
Ay Yi Yi! We miss you, Jamie. Although the chosen one is doing a bang-up job, he might be tripping on CLR. 🌈 Ollie and Tori, good on you for the saildrive road trip. Thank you, Grant, for gifting the saildrive to Parlay. I appreciate Parlay for providing Sunday morning antics. Ay Yi Yi!
i have only been following for a few weeks and I really am enjoying every episode. If I was ever to grow the balls and go off to sea I would only do it with someone like Colin. His knowledge is amazing and he is bulletproof when it comes to stress.
Colin you are a master in the art of hand talking! It’s actually a very compelling piece of your content. I don’t know if this is something you’ve worked on but I’ve taken note!😂
I never thought I'd ever be so fascinated by mechanical boat repairs. Your knowledge and expertise is impressive. And the respect and gratitude you have with your crew and boatyard helpers is a lesson to all on how to lead a good life.
Colin is the definition of a Maverick, takes his own path, difficult as it may be he will find a way! SO inspiring can’t wait for the next episode on Sunday!
Watching Colin and crew address new challenges daily is a master class in moving forward and reminds us all to work the problem and things will turn out one way or another in the end.. I remember that first trip thru the Panama Canal only to discover a giant detour in plans.. never again will I ever think Parlay is done.. the right people or on it, working it out. Just glad you guys aren’t stuck someplace with no help or resources.. till next week✊🏼
Thomas Crook nailed it with "Traveling around fixing your boat in amazing locations" really seems to fit - Parlay, Delos, Zatara, Nahoa, Barefoot Doctors, VA, et al. The next stage is "F#*k it, let's buy a new boat." ala, Doctors, Delos, Nahoa, Wynns, recently. Zatara seems to follow "a boat is a hole in the water you pour money into", and he does a magnificent job of anticipating/avoiding problems, but at a substantial (and necessary) cost. Colin, your skills and talents are amazing and you manage to not only survive but excel with your resourcefulness. Kudos and thanks for the journey you take us all on weekly.
It's a lot like deciding whether to have old vehicles or new ones, but on a bigger scale $$$ wise. Do you like zero payments but have to do regular maintenance, or do you want to make monthly payments and fight with the warranty people. I recently had all newer stuff, but am selling them to pay cash for older. My newest vehicle is a 1996, and once I get them caught up on the more costly repairs, I will start looking at paying cash for a ~23 ft boat or so.
I'm no engineer, but a tinkerer. Really appreciate you showing the whole process of troubleshooting, diagnosing, to eventually fixing the motor problems
What a bummer!!! I so hoped, as I know all of you did as well that the sail drives would swap out. I know though that in true Parlay fashion you 'll have her back going in no time . Cheers Guys ! Hang in there!!!
Sorry you guys have had to work through so many challenges. It's also great for people to see that this lifestyle isn't all just sunsets and cocktails. A wise man once described sailing as "traveling around fixing your boat in amazing locations."
G’Day Colin & Co. Loving your share of mechanical knowledge to all. It may be fair to mention long term metal fatigue hence change in design. However it is easy to critique. Kind regards, PR.
Colin, if it weren’t for your Engineering degree, Parlay would spend all her time in dry dock. If you get discouraged you never show it, and you just carry on. I admire you for your patience and your can do it attitude. I’m just grateful that you are still in NZ when all this is happening and not on your circumnavigation.
Even if this episode was a bit sad because of the issues with the sail-drive, I anyway want to thank you and your crew for a nice episode with a lot of funny moment. Only positive with the sail drive problem is that it happens “at home” were eventually you should be able to get all parts needed. Good luck and I am looking forward to next Sunday already now. 😊
A great lesson in troubleshooting and maintenance. Bummer that the lower units didn't match up for a quick swap. I hope you are already up and running. Looking forward to the next post.
Yanmar makes a kit for sd50 to sd60. It has a massive adapter plate. Keep in mind the sd60 is a few inches longer than sd50. So the adapter kit does all the hard work for you. Even the bolt pattern will line up properly. I have a lagoon 440 and just did this a few months ago. If yanmar doesn't help, reach out to yanmar service centers and they can source the right parts for you. Yanmar itself won't ship you anything. You have to go thru their distributors, who then sell to the service centers. But you can get it FAST this way. Mine took 2 days to ship from Florida to chesapeake over a national holiday!
Great vid Guys. The chosen one i am loving having you involvement. CLRly you are a valued contributor. Just goes to show you should never use any common drinking or eating implements ever for chemicals. I know of someone who drank formaldehyde because of a similar mistake. Good luck
Such a Legend and inspiration bro! Ive been here loyally since the beginning. Sailed past you a few times while crossing the globe. You were part of the inspiration for me starting my own channel.. Cheers and best of luck with the repairs.. I know how timing works so im sure youre already back in the water.. Hope to sail along side you one day soon!
How refreshing, A sailing channel that doesn't have to rely on T and A thumbnails for views. Keep up the outstanding content. My Sunday starts in 20:59 minutes. The channel wouldn't be nearly as compelling if shit didn't break.
@@ParlayRevival Mate totally understand but its great for guys like me who would like to understand more about what goes wrong that you don't just make it all out to be shits and giggles. Quality content mate👍
Be patient Colin. Watching you fret over a chipped tooth isnt what I watch every week to see. I watch to enjoy your thought process in diagnostics, careful prep to discover the problems, your mechanic aptitude, ingenuity to better your boat, and your re-engineered solutions. Im just a boring landlubber , dreaming of sailing, but terrified of bordom at sea. If sailing on a ship like yours is what its like, I think I will try it!
Find a good machine shop and weld some new material on the damaged tooth and grind the correct profile on the tooth and put it back into service. You can order a new gear and install it when it shows up.
Colin you had a bad couple of weeks but there nothing you can’t fixed hope you can get the part quick hope all goes well this week and back in the water you all take care
MAN OH, MAN! We LITERALLY had sail drive issues recently as well and learned A TON of hard and expensive lessons. Glad you guys are as strong-willed and optimistic as us. Because this shit can break you sometimes. Cheers!
Another great job Colin, Keith from Zatara could have used your skill, knowledge and engineering experience with his engine upgrades. Another fantastic episode Colin thank you very much 👍🙏😇⛵️
I'm so sorry you're having so many bad days. I'm sure you're onto better and brighter days. I to know the lain and feeling of things falling apart on you and plans failing. But I won't bother you with that story. You just keep going because you're videos not only inspire so many, but lift people's sports in hard times. Be blessed
Curved gears are called helical gears (spiral bevel gear), and usually run much quieter, than regular straight-cut style gears, and can handle more force generally. So they're usually used things like on car transmissions/gearboxes etc. They are more expensive to make.
Duuuude! I admire your endless patience & analyzing skills. I’m learning from you to not allow myself to become overwhelmed with the curve balls that life throws at us. Keep methodically moving forward whether it’s researching or turning wrenches to work through it. To the chosen one…. At our age, we could all use a little CLR once in a while. 👍🏻😂 Yikes!!
Bro always carry an umbrella. I’ve got one on my boat. Turn it upside down while doing underwater work or anchor work. Anything falls it falls into the umbrella!!🤙🤙
Wowzers, this is so fun!! Not!! Thankfully you are in a marina in NZ with a great group of people around you to help. Just work forward to get it up and running. Have a great week doing that! 😀
Sorry about the probs, sail drive is great when new but lashing in gears to be good when you need them is a pain. Cost wise just better to replace both
Colin. You must consider that the good Lord is keeping you safe with this breakdown. If you're broke now but safe you're not somewhere else in danger. You've got this.
First thing I said to myself is that it is the lower unit... Gears and/or bearings go out and "clunk". Because of their leverage, the clunk is louder than you'd expect.
This probably was one of the worst things to have to go through, but damn did it make for a great episode. I'm pulling for you guys! Much love from the US!
Colin - I noticed you were listening for the "tick" without using the "hose" trick - I'm guessing you know what I mean but just in case. A piece of hose (garden hose etc) held to your ear can be used like a stethoscope to isolate / locate unwanted noise. Cheers - love the channel
****The Suspense**** , the music , etc ....can't wait till next week ! I absolutely have no idea what any of the mechanical things are and what they mean but love seeing Colin doing his thing and am nodding in agreement about every decision he makes LOL Also LOL at The Chosen One at drinking the fluids to funny ...love you guys
WOW! your knowledge and can do, have to, attitude is key. Definitely would’ve been slick if you could’ve just swapped the two out. I definitely have faith in you man, you’ll get what you need to be back under sail shortly. 👏🏻💯✊🏻
Damn brother you can’t catch a break! At least you have a great crew and support group of channel followers that are always willing to step up and help you out. Hope you’re able to get back in the water soon. Cheers
I don't know what it is about the Billy bonghorn. But it activates my sleep button. 😅 Ultra relaxing I guess. To be clear. Not boring. Relaxing.! Like you know that feeling where you are fighting sleep. And I just woke up from a good eight hours. Like an hour ago. lol. Feels like hypnotization. Much love.!!! 🙏🍻

Thanks man! And in marina water with very little visibility 😂
I am continually impressed & amazed to witness Colin's capabilities....especially with regard to his mechanical / engineering ones!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great episode Colin! Had forgotten about the CLR until now!
You survived .... good thing CLR as opposed to WD40 had me scared a bit that you may get a burn or something? The Heineken probably saved ya! LOL 😂
Too funny Chose!
@@goleafsgo8496 If it had been WD40 then presumably washing it down with a bit of brake cleaner would neutralise it? 🤣
That old fella has to be your best worker on the boat, by a mile. What a wicked guy
The chosen one
Chosen 👌🏼
And he is fueled by C/L/R...what a champ.....Colin: "You want some mouthwash!" 🤣😂😉

Really enjoyed seeing puppy Marty again 💙
Can't wait for them to bring McFly and Lindo back on board!😊
Agreed ❤️

Colin's knowledge and skills are saving him tens of thousands of dollars! How wonderful, in all the misery of this cursed boat.
That boat takes less work than my 30+ year old landcruiser😂
Lagoons are one of the greatest boats and one of the worst in the same package . Fantastic for space and floating off a beach or chartering at a big bang for the buck . However they were cheap production boats never intended to last and not only poorly made but also not made to be fixed .
It isn't cursed. It's natural wear and tear. The chipped cog may have been caused by the slipping clutch so it probably should be replaced.

It's truly amazing how many things can go wrong with a Lagoon 450....
Usually people say things always break on a boat but it was shocking to see the deck ripping off.
Yeah, it’s. A boat, shit breaks. Did you see the Wynn’s episode where their liferaft disappeared and waves were crashing up through the cockpit floor? That was on a Leopard…
I’ll never forget my cousin telling me if I get a sailboat I need to prepare myself for fixing stuff all the time. I never believed her until I started watching these videos. I’m not patient enough to handle all the things going wrong.
@@jaysnowden2one way to look at it, is to say that a sail boat will teach you patience and perseverance. 😂

****The Suspense**** , the music , etc ....can't wait till next week ! I absolutely have no idea what any of the mechanical things are and what they mean but love seeing Colin doing his thing and am nodding in agreement about every decision he makes LOL
Also LOL at The Chosen One at drinking the fluids to funny ...love you guys
WOW! your knowledge and can do, have to, attitude is key. Definitely would’ve been slick if you could’ve just swapped the two out. I definitely have faith in you man, you’ll get what you need to be back under sail shortly. 👏🏻💯✊🏻
Damn brother you can’t catch a break! At least you have a great crew and support group of channel followers that are always willing to step up and help you out. Hope you’re able to get back in the water soon. Cheers
Awesome mechanical skills! Go man go

I don't know what it is about the Billy bonghorn. But it activates my sleep button. 😅
Ultra relaxing I guess. To be clear. Not boring. Relaxing.!
Like you know that feeling where you are fighting sleep.
And I just woke up from a good eight hours. Like an hour ago. lol.
Feels like hypnotization. Much love.!!! 🙏🍻
