I love the idea of turning the spreaders into the jib crane. You probably already thought of this, but maybe add some rope to the pins so they can't fall in the water and get lost?
I started watching this when SV Seeker was just steel plate being winched into place in the Oklahoma winds.
I could't help it...all the photos at the end brought tears.
Great job Doug busy busy myself today. Yes the best things in life are free.
Well done. I love seeing the constant tuning of your rig, drive line, tender, machinery, and the many systems you have on board. It’s very interesting and satisfying. Bravo Sir.
Life is about memory and friendship It puts a smile on my face😊😉👍🏻
After you drop the first shackle pin in the drink, consider retaining them with lanyards. 😉
Doug, I love how you just make it work!!! I hope at some point Whaly give you a smaller dingy for the front boat replacement. Go for crazy yellow when they do!!!!
We're it mine, I'd put latches outboard of the rear rail, leaving the rail smooth and safe. Flip the tender side hooks(square) out, then lift and forget!
Great work Doug. Love the "get busy" music. It added pizzaz. You sir are a consummate engineer. Thanks for the Video. I loved it.
Rigging the Hot Tamale on the davits has sure come a long way.
A Seaman talking about Spreader bars, and not one Giggity? No innuendo, no cussin, no drinkin, no gamblin. What's the world coming to? :)
Love the addition of the music! And line of the day “I’ve got to weld my nuts together this morning” 😂😂😂
Thank you from Berea Kentucky ✌️😎
Good job on the spreaders.
Tender Spreaders and Jib is the name of my new Jazzcore band.
LOL
You've probably already thought of this but I'd weld some ends on your square tube to keep water and moisture as well.
You either leave them open, for inspection and cleaning. Or fully enclose and hope there are no pinholes. Salt water is brutal. I think always better to leave open, paint, clean off and repaint as needed.. but do as you think best
10:35 You knew that was going to hurt before you did it but you did it anyway, cause you gotta get it done. I keep one of those most of the time ha ha 😂
Nice job Love the Idear of integrated crane !
Great progress Sir! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Doug, im going out I. The shop now
Love ya' Doug, spent time in my garage today.
Such incredibly true words Doug, " get out and take a chance, its soo worth it" and the greatest sweetest joy comes when you go were few dare to climb 🏔
You inspired me. I'm going to take the chance. It's a small one I'm moving to somewhere new after being raised in my hometown but I'm gone.
Chasing my dream on living in Northern Ontario
Awesome! It's a big world with lots of great people.
Thank you Doug!
Hi Doug, re load testing, maybe consider:- boat with max No of people (volunteers), max fuel, water etc plus say 50% safety margin achieved by putting the required additional weight in as water, the volunteers will have to be willing to get their feet wet ! Any resistance use the time honoured Navy method and simply press gang the "volunteers ". Regards Doug from NZ.
I'm not looking to break the tender. We have raised it out of the water with about 700 lbs of cargo, but the prefered method of high loads it to disembark passengers and some or all cargo on to the gangway. The only real need for hauling passengers up on the davits is because it's easier to board from a solid platform. And the spreaders are only intended to raise the tender even higher so it can be placed in slings.
Thanks Doug
You Rock Doug!
I like your style. Just subscribed.
Cut, weld and grind, on the water version. I love it. Making practical things is one of the things we love.
You are inspiration sir.
When I heard
" Tender Spreaders "
My mind immediately went into the gutter...
I sailed there for a while.
Great work
Doug, you’re channel has became one of the most consistently inspiring channels I watch. And I bet you thought you were just building a boat.haha
i love all that you do. i love it wary much. to my own things i would do a coverpass to. but when im payed i would say '' That needs to be ground out and rewelded ''. time is money. you are king !
So good to you today Sir. Those were some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. As usual great stuff. Take care and God bless.
Dude! That crane was just down right awesome!! You never cease to amaze me bud, I have to admit it's cause of you that I decided to go buy a welding rig. I used to be very good at it, when I was a kid still in high school I had a dream of being an Underwater welder but for some reason the fact that it was one of the most dangerous professions probably scared the shit out of me as a kid. But man did I love welding. Maybe now in my late 40's I can start as a Hobby and make some cool shit.
just got me doing a lot of fun googling on underwater welding
@@OrchMC lol you’re welcome LOL
Very good.
You’re gonna love sunsets at sea Doug. They are truly amazing! 🌅🕶️
Great video.
if you can make it stronger than it needs to be you can't go wrong.
however.. every strength is a weakness.
I’ve been watching you build for over 10 years, but I do have an idea for you. I ride, motorcycles, off-road, and I use this stuff called chain wax. I bet if you got a canna that you could find a Lotta uses on your boat to Lube, pulleys and things like that to keep moisture off things I know I use a lot of stainless steel common plastic so they don’t need any lube, but things to roll easier with a little bit of lube.
When will Seeker go sailing in the Gulf? I’d drive to Florida to see that!
well done
Doug you are such an inspiration. Thank you.
Looks great Doug. Seak and nice.
One thought I got about the attatching shackles on the beams. If the big boat one gloomy day decides to sink and you swiftly need to hastily and under high stress unthread a bunch of shackle bolts when on the stormy seas and time is of essence the big boat might get all to fast?
Great thanks for your videos
You don't have to remove the spreader bars. Just the pelican hooks need to be released.
@@SVSeeker well ofcourse I could've thought of that myself 😖
Great I'm not your deck mate
2:47 just another "chemtrails sunset"! Nothing to get excited over about! Nowdays, we get 'em all over the world!
I notice that Doug is using TIG by default now rather than MIG
That's very clever. I'm sure I'm not the only person to say this, but you should figure out a way to hook the pins for the shackles to the bar so people can't drop them in the water. Could be as simple as drilling a hole through the bar then running a small cable through it. Could also weld some sort of loop, or even one of those spring clip loop thingys to the side of the bar.
The best way is to drill a small hole into the pin handle exactly on the along the axis it rotates. Run a small wire with a swaged head thru this hole and then crimp the wire to the shackle body. This way the wire spins freely when turning the pin and doesn't twist or tangle.
@@fundip2010 drilling a hole through the pin longways sounds like it would be a pain in the butt to do. I hadn't considered the part of how to attack a cable to the pin and that it would have to spin though. Perhaps drill a hole through the end then and just put a cheap swivel on whatever wire attaches the pin the shackle then
@@KamikazeWombat it’s very easy, Ive seen done it to hundreds of shackle pins. Keep in mind the axial hole is just on the tip of the handle and it just goes into the hole already in the handle, not all the way thru the entire pin.
@@KamikazeWombat the swivels work, but are very fiddly to deal with when threading in the pin. The riggers using these everyday much preferred the drilled hole.
@@fundip2010 oh I forgot they had a hole in the handle and was picturing them solid. Yeah I agree with your first comment now
how did the sail rig modifications work out with stiffening the yard arms ?
You're a fantastic inspiration!!! I havent got any photos but ive been building a 6ft aluminum jetboat on my channel and maybe days I say "just get out there and do something :no matter how little the task" ! Cheers from the frozen north of canada .
I thought I was the only one who used shackles and D rings as pivots and random shit😂
You may want to test with 1/2 a load of salt water and 2 people as max load .
Doug, I am curious. Are you recharging those DeWalt batteries with a 12 volt DC charger like the DCB119 or are you going through your inverter to 120 volt then charging off the AC house chargers? I'd be curious to know how much loss the inverter method versus the DC to DC.
"Innocent question" 😇 Are there any ceremonies for crossing the International dateline or the equator?
👍🏻👍🏻
there are things more important that work
but you gata work for em.
I was thinking. Won't the bar across the back cause interference with steering? I know it's removable. But in a os situation. It will be extra time to remove and run.
One question, are you going to fasten the clevis pins to the spreader bar somehow, no matter how careful you are some are going to fall overboard otherwise?
So will they hold if you have several jerry cans of fuel and hundreds of pounds of groceries, and maybe a few people ... tubes look a bit thin.
No. If we have that much load, we have it in a cargo net and bring it on board with the deck crane.
I would make sure everything is in the center of the boat before you lift it
How many tools have you lost overboard so far? I lost a couple when I used to work on my boat on the water!
Too many. I now only go up the mast with the cheap tools for Harbor Freight.
I notice that you use your tig torch pretty often. Even when it seems like a mig or maybe even stick might work. I have never used a tig. So I am wondering why you seem to kinda favor it? Do I need to get a tig machine?
I'm afraid moisture is going to sit in those open square tubes (especially the ones that live horizontally)
Gerbs, that is why he built them out of Stainless steel.
@@MrEric_API stainless will still corrode, especially if salt water is sitting in/on it
@@Storizzle stainless steel in service where it is not submerged will not corrode as fast as you think, and when it gets losing its near new appearance another can be fabricated.
Is there any way to repair galvanic coating after welding in place just curious ?
Rattle can cold galvanize spray paint will touch up the effected areas.
@@MrEric_API cool thanks for the answer
We had a team fews years back that mixed up the gas lines in a welding/fabrication contest. Boy did their welds look bad. But once we started couldn't tell them to check the gas. Rules are rules.🤔🙁
Better add lanyards to those "D" ring pins, otherwise you'll be buying a lot of them.
Do you own "Royce's sailing illustrated" and " Ashley's book of knots"? Granted there are no stupid questions.
I've loved this whole series and think that you are amazing and that the whole family and every visiting engineer is incredible
If your life is not an adventure, you ain't living.
spread for tinder
You need a metal fabrication flag for your masthead
I thought this was click bait. As it turns out, these weren't the tender spreaders I thought they would be. 😏
Basically you moved your garage on to the water and sailed away
your building an erector set instead of a sailboat
Just curious, so where’s the wife at? Or is she just good at staying out of camera view😃 music reminds me of an old “A-Team” episode…
You ask anyone who WORKS on the water and their opinion might not be so wonderful about sunsets and sunrise?
less weird music please
I have argon high % for steel MIG, would it work for flux core stainless 308 wire instead of CO2?
It depends on the wire. Most SS MIG wire works with 100% argon. I just have that flux core stuff that uses CO2 for a dual shield gas.
@@SVSeeker Thanks Doug, I have the pure argon wire, but no argon now, and saw some flux wire that didn't say gas needed, but I have argon 93% CO2 5% O2 2%, high speed steel gas.
