As for the new sails, measuring the old ones may not be good enough if you don't know for sure about their performance. Selden masts do have a unique production number cut into their foot. Just send it to Selden and you will get any info you need.
I quite like Ava a lot, she just complements you perfectly with her constant giggling and laughter. You're a tad bit reserved and not really a guy who seems like the type to let loose and just send it much. Just saying she's wonderful, and hope you two are getting on well so far.
Even during the winter you're still a travel channel as Ava takes her 'walkabouts'! And once again I am so much more knowledgable now than I was 30 minutes ago! Thank you so much for being a great couple and being fun to watch. Merry Christmas!
Virtually a deluxe new boat, a soon to be lovely new wife, and a new year filled with new destinations and adventure. You two have a lot to look forward too.
ikr? My schedule changed and cannot watch all my old yt's, but I alway try to catch this one! Love diy & the additional history stuff now is really fun!
I always recommend cleaning all new fuel line’s before installing and all fittings after assembly if possible. You would be surprised of the trash in the new line and fittings
I am looking at also turning one of my tanks into a "day tank" and keeping the other two as "storage tanks", it's great to know that you have clean fuel. I would like to point out however as others probably have, that you have one major thing backwards. The "day tank" i.e. the one your engine runs off of should be the one that can only be filled from another tank. You should never be able to fill the day tank directly from deck in other words. The fuel is always transferred from your "storage tanks" to your "day tank" which is often roughly about 24 hrs worth of fuel capacity and you know that this fuel has been through your polisher to get there. Obviously, Mads has some space and location constraints, but it should be stressed that his is not the normal setup.
I love your channel, the best yacht diy on TH-cam. I think you should check your tank filler cap is sealed or better still move it to a protected location. I am very surprised by the amount of water you have in the diesel fuel, you should not have that amount in such a short time. Yes, diesel does often come supplied with a small amount of water, but not that amount. I suspect you may have another problem. When I saw you install the diesel filler cap on the cockpit sole I thought that is a potential problem. I had water contamination problems over a number of years and was cleaning out the tank every year. I discovered it was the tank filler cap not sealing and rain water getting in, problem solved. Also, although it's good practice to fill tanks to reduce condensation, modern diesel contains bio and this can make the fuel go bad after a few months. Having too much fuel stored could be a problem. The fuel dipper used by Cadoha looks a good option for reducing water and better than a straight filter system. The fuel will be polished by your normal filter and recirculation of diesel from the engine. It's mostly the water contamination that starts the problem. Also, if you have two tanks, it's good practice to keep them separate, in case one gets contaminated, then you have an alternative. Great channel and Merry Christmas to you both.
I always get a laugh when you say you have done a "some what" extensive refit. Athena looks amazing and I love how informative your videos are. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the historical tour. I really enjoy that you take us on walks with you. Happy Holidays! Can't believe that your next video will be on Boxing Day. Time flies. Take care & stay safe.
I just wanted to say that I watched ALL of your videos and finally I am caught up to present day. You have done a wonderful job my friend and with each skill you added so much more and continue to show me that anything can be done given the time and the perserverance to stay with it. I'm sure many would have sacrified or not even attempted all the things you did on your own just to simply get in the water, most I think would never had tried making what you did so much more worthy. I personally like all the gadgets and electrical stuff annd from your track lighting maybe add a Defuser for the lights to make them a little softer. From all that you have done I am surprized you never got a sponsor from any electrical tool companies as you showed them off so well. Lastly on this day i wish both of you a Merry Christmas and wish you nothing but fun and smooth sailing in the next year, also I have a feeling you two are going to tie the knot sooner than expected and all the better in my opinion as you two make a great couple. You found your girl finally so treat eachother like you would like to be treated and that is in the best possible way.
I'm thinking for boats leaving shore that a fuel polisher is a necessity. Or for those who are not in for some relaxing times of trying to figure out what happened to their diesel engine five miles off shore. and of course having that nice polishing of fuel when taking on new fuel and never having to pour from a fiver again. Look for dolphins or something with your spare time. A vacuum gage on the polisher is always handy when checking the filter too.
It sounds weird to say. One of the things I love about your channel is your positivity. Even when things are going bad, you try to look at it positively. ... Thanks I for one appreciate it. Happy Holidays to everyone.
Mads, the fuel filler being on the cockpit sole will leak, water will make it's way through seals and into the tank, water will find it's way in, the filler should be on a more vertical surface.
Great channel! I learn so much watching you guys before I do it myself. What I use a lot of time doing, is to look back on older videos to find brands and tricks on gear and products, so it would be nice to have a list of all gear and products and favorite tools
Hey Ava! Glad to hear you're refurbishing the website. Something I'd love to see is a project list/ product recommendation by project. It would be really nice to be able to search a list of the product you guys used and any recommendations about them. Thanks!
I made a DIY diesel polisher, with a timer, it runs everyday or around 30min. picking up from the very bottom of the tank, and returnin on the opposite side, at top. Zero fuel problems after that. Tank is clean!! (no more concerne of leaving it full all the time, all the water ends up in the Racor and it is easy to spot and drain).
Boy! 46 degrees sounds great. Here in Upper MIchigan we just went through below Zero temps and 45 to 55 mph winds off Lake Michigan driving sand and snow all over our lake front home and property. BUT! in only 4 months were back in the water and sailing Lake Michigan again. Love your videos and tour of the town. If it wasn't for covid we might take a flight to Europe. Jim Hansen Catalina 36
I’m sure you’re already aware, but you don’t want to leave the tanks partially full. Doing so can contribute to condensation which introduces water to the fuel.
Having a plastic tank, insulated and in the middle of the living area should reduce the chance of that one producing condensation... I dont know if its internally baffled though ... let alone the chance of air bubbles making it as far as the engine...
We have the same timer as yours and it's a pita to programme. At one point the Chinglish manual says "do not set crossly" - which is definitely good advice for its frustrating user interface. The phrase has become our family motto for any tricky IT setups...
Mads, I have used Racors for years. Depending on your space, you might wish to go with a series twin setup for polishing, 30 micron (red end cap) primary polishing filter. then10 micron (blue end caps) for the secondary polishing filter. Then the final 2 micron (brown end caps) for the engine/genset feeds, from the day tank. You will need to talk to the supplier to get restriction gauges for each filter, and installation hints, makes life easier. Stock filters by the case lot. Way way cheaper than injectors and safer as well. Best wishes from the far North.
The unicorn on the coat of arms represents Scotland and the unicorn is in chains make of that what you will 😞 oh and I loved your Scottish pronunciation of the word “shite” good effort Mads 😂👌🏼
Looking closely, I would say there is Christmas decorating and then there is Ava Christmas decorating. Thank you Ava and Mads for another spiffy episode. Merry Christmas to you.
Hopefully the year in review gives us a look at how things are working. I still haven't seen any shots from the mast camera. Merry Christmas to both of you and keep the great videos coming. It's an inspiration to all of us who can't get on the water.
Hi there as usual your 20 steps ahead of everyone else with such detail. Excellent vlog it may be worth checking out sailing Cadoah who had mega problems with fuel filtering lots of gunk. They they finally fitted a Diesel Dipper new product on the market. Worth checking out but I’m sure you have it covered. Keep the good work up and have a great festive season looking forward to the next episode . Roy
I have a furling mast. One of the most critical things you can do to prevent a jammed mainsail in the mast, is to have a sail that isn't stretched out. Great idea for a new main. I would not consider Dacron for the fabric. After a lot of research I went with hydranet. Dacron stretches too much and it's useful life will be far less than a quality laminate or a woven product like hydranet. Hydranet is a bullet proof material that will take tremendous amounts of abuse. It is more expensive but in the long run, will be cheaper.
Deck fills offer another line of defence in preventing water in the fuel tanks. We have changed the O-rings on our diesel deck fill caps once a year after boater friends experienced water infiltration due to cracked and deteriorated O-rings.
Considering the whole system is overhauled, you clearly picked the water from some dodgy fuel supply, but there's also the possibility of air condensation inside, which is why you want to fill the tank up, the emptier it is, the bigger the chances of condensation. In some applications they line the walls with a special type of fuel resistant foam that doesn't condensate. You could also make a fiberglass matting (fire resistant) blanket, that should also work, plus it's simpler since it's on the outside.
@@hoperules8874 we always make sure our tank is just completely topped off in any weather below 8c. That is just the temp it seems to get damp around hatches. Also its worse with metal tanks rather than plastic
i have found that if you keep your main fuel tank is full as possible you will cut down on condensation. The diesel return heats up the tank and as the fuel goes down it draws in humid air and as that fuel cools the humid air creates condensate and water forms on the walls of the tank. keep up the great videos.
If you like history, come over to Portsmouth and visit Southsea Castle, the round and square towers. If you can get there, Fort Nelson on top of Portsdown Hill is definitely worth a visit!
Gulf Coast makes a diesel fuel filter that uses Roll of paper towels. I had one on a trawler which was used in a fuel polishing system and it worked flawlessly. It sounds strange but they’ve been around a long time and are popular on commercial boats.
I added a Gulf Coast filter to the polishing system on our DeFever trawler about 8 years ago. Previously I would check the Racor filters everyday and at least once a week would have some crud or water to remove. With the Gulf Coast I don’t need to check the Racors ever! Here’s my protocol, when we get new fuel, I run the polisher so the fuel is polished 3 times thru the filter. During the season, I polish the tank I’m using about once a week. I only transfer polished fuel as I try not to contaminate any other tank. Gulf Coast was developed for large construction and commercial vehicles. Our annual fuel volume of 3,000 gallons is small by their standards, so I change my filter element once a year. Oh, their tech support is excellent, call them and they’ll design a system for you.

Basic questions: How do you know how much fuel to pump into the main tank? How do you handle overflow, and do you have a whistle or other system to tell you when to stop pumping fuel?
Merry Christmas! Ava those walkabouts are great! Love it if there is some eclectic little Christmas shop or local Christmas food tradition or some other odd and fun stuff you can dig up.
Merry Christmas guys. Happy to see you're going with Precision, always nice comments from people who deal with them. HoHoHo from Prince Edward Island Canada, Bryan

There is a number in the foot of the mast. Email it to selden or call them and you get all the info about the mast.

I can't imagine why you are ordering sails from Canada whilst being in the very heart of 600 years of sail making history.
Canada? I though the company was based in Canada, but the sails are made in a country that is more known of junk sails.
The same reason I did designed in Canada made in China cheaper than they can be made in the uk go figure. The quality for price can’t be beaten.
We ordered our sails from Precision Sails as well. Couldn’t be happier with the process and product.
May your Christmas diesel be ever red...and never green!
