Something very heartwarming about your videos. Like you I’m looking forward to her being back in the water, her natural element, but I have to say I’ll miss the progress posts. 😘
The THINKING behind a PLIMSOLL MARK can be applied to all boats, trucks, tall structures and so on. Those remarks of water and chain/rope weight show that those are factors in balancing a load/tare of your vessel.
Hi guys, just finished an epic, end to end, binge session of your vlog, ( I’m recovering from an illness). Having recently retired from the military after 45 years I bought my self a 12.5 meter double deck land yacht, more commonly known as a double deck bus. Different to your venture; however, still with lots of parallels/similarities, at least on the interior. Your effort has inspired me to complete my conversion to my RV / permanent home as soon as possible. I have been mulling over many build ideas, colours, materials and methods and you guys have given me many potential solutions. Love the way you work and think. It is also very inspiring to see your personal bond get stronger as time passes. It is often said that you can find out how strong your relationship is by renovating or building something, it will either make or break you. Congratulations on your near success and I hope you keep the vlog going. I also hope I have learned from your minor faux pars and design changes so I have a smooth rebuild. Stay strong and safe. Regards Les .
Great video, recommend putting a coating of epoxy on the wood water tank foundation, then providing 1/8" to 1//4" strips of rubber between wood and tank to reduce chafing.
catch 22. I'd go with a full sheet of ply under tank for support, but you want to make sure the 2 surfaces (plywood & tank) don't rub. That's a lot of weight to be slushing around
I have a tank like that on my boat and the top was not restrained from flexing up when being filled. That caused a hinge crack along the upper outboard edge. I replaced the tank. So my suggestion is to make sure the sides and top are restrained to prevent the tank top and sides from flexing.
Larger anchor locker. Yes to a lot of chain. All the way. You can never have too much chain. Ok maybe you can. I still wish the cabin was still larger. Thump, OW. :)
Great to see the large fresh water tank. It's going to get beating when in heavy seas up in the stem so tie it down really well. It good to see you getting it ready for paint. Waiting to see it back in the water and floating in a gentle swell. 400 feet of anchor chain is going to take up a pretty large space so don't cut it to tight. The cabin top is going to look super when it's done and caulked and finished. The prop and shaft shouldn't take too long now that you have the epoxy dry. Your getting there and It won't be long now.
It's really satisfying and soul restoring being able to watch you two so in love with each other doing things you enjoy so much and making plans for the future.
Enjoying your adventures! Thanks for sharing. Re the water tank, just adding my vote to those advocating caution re weight of it and the forces that will act on it in a seaway. Also, recent experience trying to access my boat’s water tank for repairs and upkeep, reminds me to suggest that an inspection hatch is a Good Idea! Go well, Roy
Every person should be so lucky as to find a partner who looks at them the way Ruth looks at Garrett at the end of the video. Great progression, and not that my input means anything on your project, but I concur with the running of the deck planking on the house roof straight at the hatch instead of framing out the runners. Also, Of course Leo was covering more "ground" during the sanding. He had a far superior sander and a straighter surface to sand. You are doing great, Ruth. Not sure as to the safety of flip-flops on a ladder, but yeah, anything under your feet when you step off the bottom of the ladder is a major plus. Lord knows what kind of screws, nails, and splinters are on the ground. See you next time.... Can't wait.
Hi Guys. Still loving your videos! We wondered why you went for one big tank and not two/three smaller ones with the same or more capacity athwartships between the frames? Making the C of G lower and more headroom in the forepeak? We have probably missed something vital? Can't wait to see the cabin top done, we have a feeling it is going to look something special! Sail Safe. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.
If you used typical "hardware store" eye bolts, they are just bent wire/rods and the end of the eye is open. Find a welder and have them "close" the eye or lifting eyes.
This might be after the fact but if your new mattress is foam a great tool to cut it is an electric knife. We replaced our mattresses in our Airstream trailer and had to round the corner off to make it fit. Got a knife from a thrift shop for five dollars.
I found your Instagram and am dying to see videos on your hardware and spar. I can't wait until working on the rigging and mast. She's going to be so majestic, you two really have built something special.
Going across the Pacific I carried 325 feet of chain....people go with chain and rode but we had a few incidences being wrapped around coral heads...one where we couldn't have moved much because of two anchors...often anchored in 60 to 80 feet. The tidal flow into atolls can be over 12 knots....so anchor is important. My 40 foot heavy heavy boat sailed like shit with all that weight forward.
Suggest you think of fixing the stairs pretty soon, possibly make them up as cupboards to help swab enter/exit, what about the mast, will it interfere with the water tank?oh just a thought, the cupboards don't have to run straight forwards, they can bend halfway in a 90 degree to save space.
I am using my multi-tool on my boat doing some repairs to the core of foam that has turned into dust in my Ericson 35 1966, removed the top layer of fiberglass and cut the foam out. Today I laid down a cover of fiberglass cloth to the bottom layer and sanding tomorrow.
I have been watching for several months and am impressed with the huge project you are tackling. Your workmanship is 1st class and I like the harmony you both show. I'm sure you have been asked this before but how can you afford the time & $$ necessary to support your project. Bob from KCMO
I was in the same boat about a year ago, and I agree, waiting is still a challenge. I went and found other channels and interests to watch, as for me, building my own is not anywhere near the budget.
Was that a RecPro water tank? Looks like it. How's it holding up? I put two of those 100g tanks on our bus conversion but haven't used them for travel yet.
Take the guessing out how much space you need and take 200 feet of chain and 150 feet of line and see how much space it takes. Make a template of an anchor locker and leave at least 12 inches to the top.
Those aren't shoes. Those are Zories, or FlipFlops. ;-) Hey! I got an idea! Let's put on a concrete rudder to match the keel! Are you not carrying the ?King Plank? atop the cabin top? Symmetry, man!
Tank couild be mounted vertical.... Several little ones would allow small spaces to be used and load balance......Remember your PLIMSOLL MARK and install accordingly.
6:47 all this time I could never really get a good idea of the size of your boat. Seeing you crawling around in the bow like that really showed it. You appear to be a tall guy and you looked tiny in there.
When your in your bunk and there's a howler just sprung up, you'll appreciate the extra anchor locker space as you just have to let out another hundred foot of chain... Option two pays dividends... and you'll both sleep much better...
Wrap that tank in some sound deadening material. If you're going to sleep atop it in any kind of waves, the sloshing right under your head is gonna sound like a washing machine...It will cut down on surface condensation as well...
Doesn't look like there are any baffles, but like everything on this boat ... if it doesn't work it'll get changed. Totally agree with you on the baffles though, not just for noise but the dynamic loading in a sea - 800lbs moving will be like 1200 or more of force as it slaps about ... so I guess you'll have your chance of wearing the 'I told you so' grin at some point. But if it works for now ... hey!
The way that G was handling it the tank looks to be quite light and no it doesn't look to have baffles. Some sort of plastic or fibreglass I guess. The ratchet straps will tie it down but will do little to stop it lozenging as the water sloshes. Some vertical brazing to stop this would be good. If this is the only fresh water tank even a small leak can quickly empty the contents. Small tank and a water maker or large and hope for the best. Several 25l containers as back-up might be a good idea. I note that the frame was made with screws and no glue so that would help if it needs to come out again. Any padding between the frame and the tank? There will be some fretting and that isn't good with plastic.
@@ddriskill1 Wiffle balls! I've been around boats my entire life and that is a new idea for me. Seems like it would work great as a baffle system and could be removed and cleaned/replaced as needed. Why don't more boats do this? Is the reason for the airlines' version being so expensive have to do with preventing BPA and other chemicals from leaching into the water?
840 pounds of water is a lot of weight in the bow. Plus a few hundred pounds of chain and anchor. You would be better off with two smaller tanks If the big one leaks you lose all your water.
The boat was trimmed very high at the bow so a bit of ballast is already needed...er' was already planned. I agree with a reserve of water but, most cruisers with only one tank make sure to have an emergency reserve in the form of bottles. Gets the job done and it's guaranteed to be more sanitary than a second small tank.
@@FiferSkipper they are already struggling with space for sufficient anchor gear just for space and the weight of it will add another 400-600 pounds. Also the movement of so much water in the tank will put an enormous strain on the walls of that tank. It does not have enough support to withstand the bashing and one day one side will just pop in the seams. The water tanks should not be over 50 gallons and have baffles inside them as well.
Does the water tank have internal baffles to keep the water from sloshing around as a single unit and maybe working itself out of the frame and harness system you are planning? How will it work if there are no internal baffles and the tank is, say, 1/2 full? Would that be a problem or not? And really, same question with fuel tank. Internally baffled? or just not so large that it could be a problem?
Hey Ruth....why didn't you add first song's name and artist into the end credits? It's a beautiful piece Suite no 1 opus nr. 46 by Peer Gynt. Was it too short to mind? :)
Will the ratchet strap rub on the side of the tank and eventually wear a hole in the side of the tank? You many want to position the ratchet part away from the tank somehow. Just a thought.
Regarding the tank; does it have some internal baffles? Regarding the hold down eye bolts, only got a glimpse of the installation but they seem to be horizontal into the frame face, that puts a bending load on them which is not what they are designed for, a straight tension loading is best. Having the straps bear directly onto the plastic tank is perhaps a problem. The plastic will gradually "creep" and the straps loosen, too much pressure on the straps will tend to collapse the tank. A possible solution would be stiff wooden strips under the straps on both sides and top, these should be made so the straps sit in a slight recess. The result would be the same as if your put the tank into a wooden box. Strap fore and aft direction as well and if tank not baffeled use flat thick plywood under the straps at each end. Sorry to seem critical, you are both wonderful; Oh to be young and brave like you. Tom G.
I doubt they could get an angled tank through the companionway at this point. You're right that it would have been better than this offset solution . Everything on this boat seems to be poorly-planned.
So you don't feel it necessary to position the water tank along the longitudinal centerline...…..also if this tank has no baffles inside there will be a lot of slosh in a seaway...
Love how you've been binging! Haha Rediviva means rebirth or revival in Latin and it really seemed to embody the build for us. We've lived on the water since we were 18 and building this boat took us away from that, taught us and challenged us a lot, and now that we are sailing once again it feels like a new coming of life. The first half of the build was in Washington state just up from the Colombia River which was named after the tall ship Colombia Rediviva so a little local history too R
@@PaulusPHM but horrible usability so far from the pulpit. tons of wasted deck space needing to be clear for the chain. Means no dinghy storage on the foredeck also. Do any sailboats actually put the anchor locker back so far? I've not seen any that do.

Nothing like enjoying a fresh caught fish to help inspire the project. Some day you'll be out there catching them yourself!

I'm just curious why the rectangular tank instead of a tank with angles designed to fit the area. I'm guessing cost.
I doubt they could get an angled tank through the companionway at this point. You're right that it would have been better than this offset solution . Everything on this boat seems to be poorly-planned.
What if you built a 2 person bench on deck in front of the cabin with a hinged seat to serve as the anchor locker?
