SEASON 6 / The Haul Out : Episode #118 : Hauling Out Triteia !
This New Season follows us through our trials and triumphs as well haul the boat out for the first time!
On this Episode we move Triteia into position and the Yard Hands put her in the sling and fly her out of the water! Once she was on her sticks on the hard we discovered our prop had suffered electrolyses and needs to be replaced. We also discovered that our rudder was made out of wood, which really shocked me.
Racing the daylight I ground off all of the "mushroom caps" of the thru-hulls so we could tap them all into the boat.

Would have like to seen more of your thru-hull removals. That interest me on an old boat that you have. I enjoyed your method of removal and learned a bit.

Just catching up. Seeing you touching the rudder that almost got you killed was a moment. Great recommendation for the Ventura Harbor Boatyard. I'm docked at Channel Islands, no idea such a terrific yard was so close. My thruhulls are all ball valves, bronze, 20 years old. Work fine. (Still might replace them if recommended.) I've done a lot more work for a lotta more years on houses and buildings. For over 40 years I've replaced gate and seat (rubber washers) valves with ball valves. Can't think of any that ever had a problem.

I haven't hauled mine out yet, but this video has me super excited to do it. She is even more beautiful when you can see the full profile out of the water! Previous owner warned me the rudder needs attention and has me worried, I have the same all wood rudder.

The Boat Yard in Channel Islands Harbor also allows you to do your own work and stay on your boat, I have done it the last 2 haul outs.

@SailorJames 4 года назад

That’s great to know ! I will let people know about that option as well when I am asked

@cawfeedawg 3 года назад

Great shirt. Also you will never need worry about blisters.. your boat was built pre-energy crisis. It is real fiberglass. It only becomes a problem for boats built from 1975 into the early 80s. I have a 1964 Alberg 30 and its a tank.

@edwiser3547 4 года назад

My first sailboat was a 1964 Pearson Triton, 29', fractional rig, but almost a twin of Carl Alberg's 30'. Man, was I ever green. It was embarrassing to be such a novice. I covered the rudder with cloth and polyester resin and within a year most of it had fallen off. Most Albergs and Pearsons still have the wood rudders.

@glennarishenkoff373 4 года назад

GREAT START !

@tartansailor 4 года назад

My Tartan 34 C 1970 never had a blister, I was told that the Polyester resin formula changed after the 1973 Oil crisis and since then came the blister situation. Aren't we glad we have a boat that is much thicker, strong and less maintenance than the newer ones!!! Cheers, Richard

Well done. I've spent many days at that boatyard and it is one of the best. I had 13 thru hulls on my Mason when I hauled her out... only two remain. I don't like holes in my boat. Peace.

@fxpthl 4 года назад

Wow! I can't believe it is a wood rudder! I would think that while on the hard you could sand it down and lay some thin fibreglas mat over the wood. Those thru hulls really were toast and good that on the ones you are keeping they will be larger, especially the engine intake. Big job ahead of you kids! Who would have believed that Ventura would be the place to haul out?

@SailorJames 4 года назад

I was shocked about the rudder for sure. I asked the foreman if I should cover it in glass and he said encapsulating wood that had been wet for that long would do far more harm than good. I had to remind myself that ships were made of wood for centuries.

That was a good clean up James Camille weather got you there man that was slick and anyway this is a cool episode again man get with it alright peace out

@dougwheeler1220 4 года назад

The rudder on my Pearson wanderer looked about the same. I was all ready to make new but was advised to leave it. Lasted since the sixties. Fixing the thu-hulls is the best bang for the buck. The cut less bearing is another thing to replace.

@SailorJames 4 года назад

The cutlass bearing is a whole episode of crazy and yes it gets replaced along with everything else in that system. Yeah a few days after being super freaked out about the rudder I remembered that ships were made out of wood for centuries and I was just being shortsighted

@SailorJames 4 года назад

@dougwheeler1220 4 года назад

Sailor James yep I was changing mine and cut a slit in the hull using a grinder like you are using. Didn’t notice it till I was buttoning up the seal and could see light.

@richhamel6810 4 года назад

Nice start to your project. I'm sure the boat is back in the water by now, but you mentioned you were going to sand the bottom. Did you guys think about having the hull soda blasted? it would save you a ton of time, not sure how expensive it would be for you boat. You guys are great, thanks for sharing your journey.

@SailorJames 4 года назад

I wanted to take it down to gel coat but it was going to be VERY expensive and the yard requires you hire them for any sandblasting because of the environmental risks with the hold paint and dust and clean up, which is completely understandable. We will have it taken down to gel coat in a few years in South America.

@richhamel6810 4 года назад

@@SailorJames understandable. fair winds to you guys

@treasurecoastgypsy 4 года назад

Hi James , If you will be venturing into southern ocean, do you think it would be a good idea, once you build a new rudder and beef up rudder hardware to keep old rudder as spare? Be well !

@SailorJames 4 года назад

If I replace the rudder with a glass and foam version I will have full faith in it. We don't plan on lingering in the southern ocean and dont have stowage space for a spare rudder. Our new windvane will be our emergency rudder.

@RoyalColorSails 29 дней назад

I just got a 1969 Alberg 30 that I'm restoring what are some things I should look for in the restoration? Mine is mostly solid, i need to repair my mast beam, but that's not too hard

@SailorJames 29 дней назад

Replace all the bronze fittings. If you plan on doing ocean sailing replace the tiller shaft and build a new rudder.

@RoyalColorSails 29 дней назад

@@SailorJames Thank you so much for the tips!!

@SailorJames 29 дней назад

And of course the chainplates but those are a known issue

@theislandpackrat 4 года назад

That guy saying your rudder is OK. Better look up Teredo Worms! If theres a spot of bare wood they Will get in and won't take long to eat the rudder up! I had a warram cat and had to replace four layers of wood on the keel!

@SailorJames 4 года назад

There are no soft spots and he has ran that yard for 30 years and is a wealth of knowledge. The rudder is completely sound.

Here on the great lakes a lot of props are sent to a prop shop to br re conditioned do you not have that there usually a lot cheaper than a new prop

@SailorJames 4 года назад

our prop was so far gone that you could carve it with a pocket knife like cheese, it all worked out for the best in the end.

Finding a yard where you can work isn't hard in the Netherlands. Where you can Weld and Grind is very difficult. Environment and neighboring boats are a big issue. I live on my 41ft steel ketch and keep it well painted.
