Started from your beginnings and enjoying the videos. Bout halfway through your adventure and I’m not stopping until I get caught up to whatever video is current today (29 Nov 2021)………ok onward………
Well my opinion on the timing is that it's your adventure so go when you want and stay when you want. I can't argue that spending time in the off-season some of these out-of-the-way isn't a great way to see them.
It's probably not on your radar but some form of bimini cover/enclosure seems like the best option, with a provision to weather the helm position. The boat looks like it's made for it. Great video!
For sure Bob! A full enclosure is one of our future projects. It will incorporate more solar, hot water assist, and full helm and cockpit protection. This will be high priority once we hit better weather.
Teal, great thinking on taking care of the equipment that will be looking out for your safety, when you leave the dock.....and thanks to Linh for keeping us in ' stiches ' (haha) with her Singer and what a wonderful diner, worthy of a very long walk.....Thanks again and keep warm...
Some really good work and you are perfectly right being cautious and not setting sail whilst weather conditions are bad. Preventative maintenance is the key to success and an excellent idea for you all to get the work done whilst you have the time. Enjoy Fridays - Enjoy your videos thank you
Teal, your attention to detail and work ethic are amazing. They keep me watching. I really don't mind if you are not sailing, as long as you are working on the boat. I am a contractor, and my work has improved because I watched you. Thank you. I was however, hoping for more of a permanent solution to the water issues with controls in the cockpit. More fibreglass and plastic, rather than stitched material covers. I wish you and your family all the best. I hope your sails are always full.
Thank you for showing how a onboard life is all about. "Do the best you can with what you have" Lyne is becoming a seamaster and the boat is a beauty of work!
I really like your approach to the work that you do. You look, analyze, explore the options, explain all those and more. The Y of this and the X of that action/option. It proves to be the best way over and over. Keep at it and thanks for all the hard work of filming and editing.
Woohoo boat projects!!! I know you’d probably prefer to be out sailing, adventuring, exploring, and experiencing. I know it’s probably less than ideal for you guys, but I just can’t get enough of your resourcefulness, ingenuity and craftsmanship! You’ll never hear me complaining about boat projects on SV Basik. Never!
Linh, beautiful work! (Teal too.) I respect the fact that you must be dealing with a bit of cabin fever and strong desire to get moving. But, I also understand that you really comprehend that weather is in charge and you need to try and go with whatever that is. Thanks all for another great video. Clearly Compass has a bit of cabin fever as well. Maybe we should call it cockpit fever, or salon fever or just boat fever............no that would be something involving large amounts of money.
One cover down and many many more to come. The first one looks great as will all the rest. Getting down south is putting serious challenges on your boat. Pre- sea trials sort of. All of the minor adjustments and repairs will pay off in the long run. If the manufacturer of your boat is still in business I wouldn’t be surprised if they contact you and offer you and the crew a position with them as a consultants to the design department. Keep up the great work and stay safe. I’ll be looking for your next video
Nice to see you guys this week. I appreciate that you take good care of things. No need to be wasteful of time, money, and especially the world’s resources. That Singer looks pretty heavy duty. If you buy a SR, I want to make an offer for the Singer.
I live on a hill, a cliff really, overlooking the Puget Sound. This time of year the rain, mudslides, and falling trees are a very real threat. So, we have our struggles on land as well. Life goes on. Stay safe.
I know! I laugh everytime Teal tells me its going to be a quick project because its hardly ever true! He said our refit would take 1-2 years tops. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
I actually like the miserable weather. It makes a change from blue sky, sunshine yachting channels. Having said that I am looking forward to seeing you get to the better weather. But I know I will miss those dark bleak rainy days and how you deal with it when you do.
People can criticize your attention to detail (?) all they want,Teal. When you pulled out that leaking window I was expecting to see some form of nasty repair work ahead (blame years of work on boats and homes cleaning up others shoddy workmanship for my preconception) When I saw a faired/epoxied/painted surfaced that just needed to be wiped clean, I knew you were some kind of legend! 🙌🏽
It's called attention to detail , very rare nowadays . This little extra attention Teal paid to this detail , meant the original work took longer , but any further work would be easier .
A little tip to keep the snaps working like new, put a little chapstick on your snaps to keep the corrosion down. Cheap way to protect your investment. Cheers, MVPAIRADICE
Linh Goben We just recently started watching your channel.... It’s a very entertaining and intuitive channel! We started at Episode 1 and are about 12 in, we love how well you guys work together as a family 😊. Hopefully see you guys on the water, as our boating area is British Columbia/Vancouver Island coast😊
@@menotadog wow! Thanks for finding us and following our channel! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 This year will be a great year with more sailing and travels. We are looking for to having you guys coming along with us. 🤗🤗
I just dearly adore you Lynn, Emma, & Teal, & of course Compass! I love watching your videos, & seeing what all is involved with upkeep & maintenance of the Catamaran. The custom made sleeves are a nice touch to protect from the elements. The lasagna looked delicious Lynn. It was beautiful! The Curry Soup sounded good too! Look forward to seeing you folks next week. Thank you Teal for the update on the weather. I often wandered with the hard rain & 50 mph wind we had throughout the night, how you were. I am sharing you with my Grandaughter Arianna, as Emma reminds me of her. g
Teal. I think some of your cockpit waste issues will go away when you install your Bimini..✌️ Yet totally understand you need to address the water intrusion now.
It is amazing how much we learn from Mother Nature about our best efforts to modify our environments. Awesome learning opportunities here, for sure. Lihn: really impressive job on the covers. (Despite Teal's "not your best work"; bad Teal:) You are a woman of SO many talents! Love the video, especially 11:22 where Compass puts his own paws in his collar...SO adorable!! Thank you as always for the work you put into producing wonderful videos:)
Very much like the idea of securing the boat against water, some people would say that's overboard for that back portion, w/the overhang and all, but water can and WILL find a way to try and get in. Even if you're just coming into a place and waves are breaking from the back..or like you've experienced, major storm systems. On windows or anything like that in the future, remember it's the outside edges you want to seal..think I would have added some 100% silicone as well, as you can never seal to good! Love the covers she's made/making, and rusty or not, think she's doing an excellent job(watch yourself Teal!! lol) Would have done engine control instruments first, then the controls, then other outside items, but it is very pro-active and just plain smart for you all to do things like that..after all..'an ounce of prevention prevents having to do a pound of cure'! Hope the weather improves for you, and wishing sunny pleasant days your way ;)
Teal just went through this on changing my bathroom Windows in my house. You should have considered turning the head window 180 degrees. 3 reasons. 1 privacy an opening lower window can expose certain areas . 2 ventilation. In order to assist with humidity and ventilation a higher opening would help with that. 3rd is having the opening panel on top will reduce water coming in from drips in case the window doesn't latch. What do you think. Did I finally bring an idea to the ultimate DIY marine family? Great camera work. I don't know what you are shooting but it is Crystal clear..btw it's rained everyday in 2020 in Seattle..
Sewing skills coming nicely - maybe time to work on the dodger? We got lucky for a mild NW winter but this rain is making me want a boat again - but somewhere warm.
Here is a better idea for the Force10. Make the cutting board larger than the cooktop. Put a perimeter base on the bottom of the cutting board so that it slips over the stove. Then you have a dual purpose cutting board and weather cover all in one. You could even put a foot in the middle of it that would keep it from bowing down in the middle when in use on a flat surface.
C'mon folks and go to Patreon and visit the Onboard Lifestyle store. They have very cool swag that supports their channel. Besides... Compass needs special puppy food and a new rain jacket. Great mini projects crew!
I normally don’t leave comments but after watching Teal reset the window, I felt I should. The product, Frost King looks like an open cell foam tape that may also be sticky on only one side. Water will penetrate open celled products. Coming from the fenestration industry, the normal practice when using an open cell tape is the apply a bead of sealant on the exterior side of the tape to prevent water intrusion. As for sealant and knowing your location, go to Amazon and search for Dow Corning 795. Great product and easy to work with. Or you could a butyl caulking tape in place of the foam tape. However, when the temperatures rise, butyls will become more pliable and can sag. Looking at the forecast for February, the Seattle area pretty good. You guys may get lucky enough to move a little further south. Best wishes
The Frost King foam is a closed cell neoprene that has worked perfectly in many applications on our boat. The failure was due to my error. I like to use compression seals on windows, hatches and portlights so that I can easily remove them for future painting. For semi-permanent seals (above the waterline) I do prefer Butyl tape. Thanks for the comment!
I noticed that the overhanging roof has water running around it and down the wall. I guess that could be fixed by adding a thin lip on the underside so that the water finds the low spot and drips straight off the overhanging roof line. It would require some fiber glassing work but with the planed hard top in the works, it's probably not needed.
I just had a thought... The instrument panel might be getting moisture from the Cabin, where the wires go though the wall... A little putty or caulking around the wires and filling the holes will prevent any moisture from getting out...
After such a wet and damp winter, I imagine the crew is really ready for some sun and fun in the south! When you install your hardtop, the driving rain will have more difficulty reaching some of those areas. Are you still using one of your state rooms as a workshop, Teal? I recently saw one custom cat that specifically used one of the bed rooms as a dedicated workshop with lots of drawers, storage for spare parts and worktop space. Thought it was brilliant.
Your stove seems to need a water drain whatever cover i'd say. If your new engine instruments cover still isn't enough, switch their lights on and see if those generate enough heat to clear the fog.
YEah, The weather has been really weird and bad this year for the Pacific Northwest... It's February 8th and Spokane has no snow and it's 45 degrees.... Usually We are getting hammered with snow and freezing temps this time of year.
For the stove if the cover still lets water in you might want to look for a big piece of butcher block and then rout out the underside to make it cover the stove. That would give you a nice cutting surface that you could lift away to get to the stove.
A very slick production. It will be a sad day when you finally say “Ta Da, We are done! “. In the mean time living the life of respect, meaning and learning. Not your average Basik crew. Ld
I admire your nice, clean projects. I would suggest though to avoid any horizontal surfaces on canvas covers to work the best. On the engines control cover instead for a flat/circle top consider a cone, even a shallow one like on top of the pier pillars. This will shed water better. Do you know of any sealant that can be used on seems, to increase water resistance? Keep up the good work! I cannot wait to see how you are going to cover the outside stove.
Teal you need a Hardtop on this boat! And you need it now not later! Are you planning on getting to that soon? And if not a hardtop you could start on the planning of a Dodger/Bimini for that area. These guys that specialize in this area could do this in a week. Call 2 or 3 different companies out and let them draw up what they think would be the best approach to what you want to accomplish and that way you could see some different approaches to what you want covered. This could be done before you know it!
For the amount you are paying for the dock fees you should truck your boat south then sail down. You and sailing UMA do the most perfect work on your Boats..... God Bless
If you made the dimensions of your chopping board cover for the force ten stove top slightly wider than the dimensions of the entire top and placed a ridge extending down to the counter top around the raised edge of the stove, would it not exclude water far more effectively? Plus, there would be far less risk of it blowing off like a stitched top might.
last week the rains have come and the fires have been put out at last. we had over 200 ml in 2 days. Now the recovery can start happing but it will still be a long time as the gum trees are slow to grow. the rains have been late and thats due to climate change. Gerard.
hoping You were leaving Greys harbor today 7 feb, then south full in fair wind and full moon light, yes most other bar entry would be closed, long sailing ahead, not the saefest route. insurance oup!. ok relax, maybe desigh cover for your cocpit. nice looking dinne Lihn.
It is always interesting how nature teaches us what we had forgotten or needed to learn. Nice job on taking care of the basic things that make it safer and more reliable.
Great ya got so sunny day. Maybe get price quotes on sailing to location & if bar is closed two big commercial helicopters (the ones with two blades each) can hook up cable lines to boat & lift & transport to flocking area. Well ...just a thought. Eyes up. Re-action "Ya right" ( I've been in extreme conditions 3x ...& about 100 times just something came up that could of led to a bad situation ) You are not sailing on some fresh water lake ...but even Great Lakes have had conditions where ships have sunk. Safety is #1. Met one commercial fishing boat crew member who was on a boat that went over the bar at the mouth of the Fraser R. Boston was like 35 ft long think he said. Anyways he will never go on any boat at any time ever again. Guess it freaked him out so badly. He had it seem so scary experience only seeing the gates of hell could be scarier. You guys always seem to keep busy. If ya can find these three movies on the www ya may enjoy: The long long trailer ( Lucy & Desi ) It's a mad mad mad world. The Cross & the Switchblade. (Based on a true story) Nice skills you both have. Hope you all got to see the Super Bowl Game. Very exciting. Patrick Mahomes the Bible Thumper somehow got his Chiefs to score 3 TDs in 5 minutes or something. From being down 20-10 to winning 31-20 ( think that was the final score ) Ya may be waiting for a window....but think about 3 cruise ships where passengers must stay on board. (new flu virus) Where yous are now the odds of this virus infecting yous is 8 billion to 1. Spanish flu only 100 plus yrs ago killed 50-100 million.
I’m surprised not to see you put a bead of caulk surrounding the windows? Too much moisture in the air or not needed? I would think that caulk could prevent further problems.
Started from your beginnings and enjoying the videos. Bout halfway through your adventure and I’m not stopping until I get caught up to whatever video is current today (29 Nov 2021)………ok onward………

You are a perfect team and I like how you include Emma as you can. So great for her to learn from you both.

I really like your approach to the work that you do. You look, analyze, explore the options, explain all those and more. The Y of this and the X of that action/option. It proves to be the best way over and over. Keep at it and thanks for all the hard work of filming and editing.
Another great vid from the crew of Basik!
Hang in there guys, the bad days will make the coming good days that much sweeter
Soooo much sweeter! Summer can't come soon enough! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s good that you’re being cautious. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Teal you are a LUCKY MAN!
No arguments here!
Linh you are one LUCKY LADY.
( gotta keep it balanced )
@@AlA-ok5jh agreed! I always say I'm lucky! 🤗🤗
Love watching you guys. Always smiles and laughs. :)
she did great work on the covers you go girl.
Thanks John!
And I thought house/lawn care was never ending! Good job crew. SV Basik has the right caretakers.

In Canada we call it the rain coast for good reason. Stay safe, you’ll get the right time eventually. I love that outdoor stove, excellent idea.
The one stop shop! Looks great! Y’all Rock!
🥳🍻⛵️
I built up a one and a quarter inch coaming and a hatch with Cam locks to address a similar issue. I got glazing tape to solve a similar window issue.
One cover down and many many more to come. The first one looks great as will all the rest. Getting down south is putting serious challenges on your boat. Pre- sea trials sort of. All of the minor adjustments and repairs will pay off in the long run. If the manufacturer of your boat is still in business I wouldn’t be surprised if they contact you and offer you and the crew a position with them as a consultants to the design department.

A stainless steel dome cover over outside cooktop will keep water out if hinged and camclip down and convert it to a cooktop/oven. Dave N Z
Spring is getting closer. Those warm waters are not that far away. Great job OL crew. GOD speed. JC
Love the covers ‼️‼️ Great work everyone. ✌️✨⛵️⚓️🌊🏝☀️✨
Thanks Richard!
happy 100 EP.
Always great videos.
As someone with ocd that’s done my share of sewing for my boat and custom kites, you’re doing an amazing job! Keep up the awesome work girl!
Thanks Ed! I'm feeling pretty good as I dive into more sewing projects! Can't wait to get started on our mainsail cover! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
If you are rusty, try WD40! Compass is starting to look like Teal! Time for a shave Compass! Your attention to detail is so apparent. Great job crew!
Great usage of your time while the weather's good to tidy and fix up the ship...awesome guys!!! Thanks for the video! Stay safe!
I learned a lot in this one so once I get my boat one day!
great job agaln
Nice to see you guys this week. I appreciate that you take good care of things. No need to be wasteful of time, money, and especially the world’s resources.

a protection from damage not bad at all congrats
Just wanted to say no complaints about video time on prior video. It was all girls, you know and a good one!,!!
Great episode guys, lots of projects accomplished! Fair winds and following seas Basik!

Hi
It's called attention to detail , very rare nowadays . This little extra attention Teal paid to this detail , meant the original work took longer , but any further work would be easier .
Teal, I am glad you chased down and fixed your boats leaks. Your big D day is 72 hrs from us 100 miles West. Please save some for us.
A little tip to keep the snaps working like new, put a little chapstick on your snaps to keep the corrosion down. Cheap way to protect your investment. Cheers, MVPAIRADICE

Teal. I think some of your cockpit waste issues will go away when you install your Bimini..✌️ Yet totally understand you need to address the water intrusion now.
I thought I may get a few weather breaks to start that project...not yet!

Basik comes with a 'available anywhere, anytime' library of repair and maintenance
Very much like the idea of securing the boat against water, some people would say that's overboard for that back portion, w/the overhang and all, but water can and WILL find a way to try and get in. Even if you're just coming into a place and waves are breaking from the back..or like you've experienced, major storm systems.

Once Teal gets the framework done, I am all over sewing that dodger! 🙌🏻🙌🏻👊🏻
Perfect as usual you four. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,,,fair winds soon I hope
Here is a better idea for the Force10.
Make the cutting board larger than the cooktop. Put a perimeter base on the bottom of the cutting board so that it slips over the stove. Then you have a dual purpose cutting board and weather cover all in one.
You could even put a foot in the middle of it that would keep it from bowing down in the middle when in use on a flat surface.
C'mon folks and go to Patreon and visit the Onboard Lifestyle store. They have very cool swag that supports their channel. Besides... Compass needs special puppy food and a new rain jacket.
Great mini projects crew!
Seems like a cockpit cover would have reduced alot of the water intrusions.
That project is high on the priority but the weather has made it near impossible to start.
In anything over 50 knots it can be damaging .
I normally don’t leave comments but after watching Teal reset the window, I felt I should. The product, Frost King looks like an open cell foam tape that may also be sticky on only one side. Water will penetrate open celled products. Coming from the fenestration industry, the normal practice when using an open cell tape is the apply a bead of sealant on the exterior side of the tape to prevent water intrusion.

Or you could a butyl caulking tape in place of the foam tape. However, when the temperatures rise, butyls will become more pliable and can sag.
Looking at the forecast for February, the Seattle area pretty good. You guys may get lucky enough to move a little further south.
Best wishes
The Frost King foam is a closed cell neoprene that has worked perfectly in many applications on our boat. The failure was due to my error. I like to use compression seals on windows, hatches and portlights so that I can easily remove them for future painting. For semi-permanent seals (above the waterline) I do prefer Butyl tape. Thanks for the comment!

I just had a thought... The instrument panel might be getting moisture from the Cabin, where the wires go though the wall... A little putty or caulking around the wires and filling the holes will prevent any moisture from getting out...
nice invest
..GREAT VID..
After such a wet and damp winter, I imagine the crew is really ready for some sun and fun in the south! When you install your hardtop, the driving rain will have more difficulty reaching some of those areas.
Are you still using one of your state rooms as a workshop, Teal? I recently saw one custom cat that specifically used one of the bed rooms as a dedicated workshop with lots of drawers, storage for spare parts and worktop space. Thought it was brilliant.
Your stove seems to need a water drain whatever cover i'd say. If your new engine instruments cover still isn't enough, switch their lights on and see if those generate enough heat to clear the fog.
YEah, The weather has been really weird and bad this year for the Pacific Northwest... It's February 8th and Spokane has no snow and it's 45 degrees.... Usually We are getting hammered with snow and freezing temps this time of year.
I love lasagna! I’m just south of you in St.Helens Oregon and do excavation work and this rain has just been relentless can’t wait for spring 👍👍
For the stove if the cover still lets water in you might want to look for a big piece of butcher block and then rout out the underside to make it cover the stove. That would give you a nice cutting surface that you could lift away to get to the stove.
Can you guys please do a video on camera gear and editing - love your videos ❤ from NYC
A very slick production. It will be a sad day when you finally say “Ta Da, We are done! “. In the mean time living the life of respect, meaning and learning. Not your average Basik crew. Ld
Seems Lihn missed her calling as a seamstress... great work for being 'rusty'...
I admire your nice, clean projects. I would suggest though to avoid any horizontal surfaces on canvas covers to work the best. On the engines control cover instead for a flat/circle top consider a cone, even a shallow one like on top of the pier pillars. This will shed water better.

Keep up the good work! I cannot wait to see how you are going to cover the outside stove.

The video time comment was Compass’s as we are seeking to increase his on-air time.
Teal you need a Hardtop on this boat! And you need it now not later! Are you planning on getting to that soon? And if not a hardtop you could start on the planning of a Dodger/Bimini for that area. These guys that specialize in this area could do this in a week. Call 2 or 3 different companies out and let them draw up what they think would be the best approach to what you want to accomplish and that way you could see some different approaches to what you want covered. This could be done before you know it!
Quick question for Teal, after you sponged up the water in your stove, what was that product in the can you use to help clean and protect metal?

Thank you Captain!
What!! Not building the covers using thickened epoxy? ? LOL!!
For the amount you are paying for the dock fees you should truck your boat south then sail down. You and sailing UMA do the most perfect work on your Boats..... God Bless
If you made the dimensions of your chopping board cover for the force ten stove top slightly wider than the dimensions of the entire top and placed a ridge extending down to the counter top around the raised edge of the stove, would it not exclude water far more effectively?
Plus, there would be far less risk of it blowing off like a stitched top might.
last week the rains have come and the fires have been put out at last. we had over 200 ml in 2 days. Now the recovery can start happing but it will still be a long time as the gum trees are slow to grow. the rains have been late and thats due to climate change.
Gerard.
Now I’m hungry
hoping You were leaving Greys harbor today 7 feb, then south full in fair wind and full moon light,
yes most other bar entry would be closed, long sailing ahead, not the saefest route. insurance oup!.
ok relax, maybe desigh cover for your cocpit. nice looking dinne Lihn.
It almost didn't leak. Kinda like my plumbing efforts.
i woulda used some 3m 4200 on those windows, that foam strip you put on will absorb water and hold it
It is always interesting how nature teaches us what we had forgotten or needed to learn.
Nice job on taking care of the basic things that make it safer and more reliable.
did you mean to say ' bäsik ' things? Haha!
Did I miss the cover for the grill? That was the one that I wanted to see the engineering on the most.
Get out to sea and do a couple over nights to get south.
The b&b bar is open beers are $1.00
Great ya got so sunny day.
Maybe get price quotes on sailing to location & if bar is closed two big commercial helicopters (the ones with two blades each) can hook up cable lines to boat & lift & transport to flocking area.
Well ...just a thought. Eyes up. Re-action "Ya right"
( I've been in extreme conditions 3x ...& about 100 times just something came up that could of led to a bad situation ) You are not sailing on some fresh water lake ...but even Great Lakes have had conditions where ships have sunk. Safety is #1.
Met one commercial fishing boat crew member who was on a boat that went over the bar at the mouth of the Fraser R. Boston was like 35 ft long think he said. Anyways he will never go on any boat at any time ever again. Guess it freaked him out so badly. He had it seem so scary experience only seeing the gates of hell could be scarier.
You guys always seem to keep busy.
If ya can find these three movies on the www ya may enjoy: The long long trailer ( Lucy & Desi )
It's a mad mad mad world.
The Cross & the Switchblade. (Based on a true story)
Nice skills you both have.
Hope you all got to see the Super Bowl Game. Very exciting. Patrick Mahomes the Bible Thumper somehow got his Chiefs to score 3 TDs in 5 minutes or something.
From being down 20-10 to winning 31-20 ( think that was the final score )
Ya may be waiting for a window....but think about 3 cruise ships where passengers must stay on board. (new flu virus) Where yous are now the odds of this virus infecting yous is 8 billion to 1.
Spanish flu only 100 plus yrs ago killed 50-100 million.
I’m surprised not to see you put a bead of caulk surrounding the windows? Too much moisture in the air or not needed? I would think that caulk could prevent further problems.
We will most likely use butyl tape once the final paint is applied this Summer. 👍🏻
Well guys, looks like it back to west epoxy .....unless there is some left over from the 55 gallons!
