Life got in the way of video so here is an update on some of the projects we have been working on.
We have also been turning our writing into a free Sustainable Sailing book: sustainablesailing.codeberg.p...
If you would like to encourage us then we have memberships or donations on Ko-Fi! at ko-fi.com/sustainablesailing/
Or visit our shop at sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags.
We are refitting a 1977 Rival 38 for a Sustainable Sailing retirement in a few years. Three years ago, when we bought Vida she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

Great to see you are progressing. Hope the needlework turns out well,

@SustainableSailing Месяц назад

Thanks, all that work has held up well and are key foundations for what we are doing now.

Did you say carbonfibre stanchions? Where do you get those?

@SustainableSailing Год назад

We are doing DIY, ideas based on this from Tula's Endless Summer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rz9S9miKm9g.html

We bought our tubes from www.carbonfibretubes.co.uk/standard-tubing/ Our old stainless stanchions were bent. Lots of leaks from the bolts. As the gate uprights could wobble in the bases that meant that the feet of the gate diagonals rock on their screws causing leaks. Plus we want taller guardrails than they had in the 1970s. In materials this is cheaper than replacement stainless and no bolt holes to leak.

Glad to see your posting again ....really looking forward to seeing the electric drive installation. Also after my last comment on using carbon fibre in the mast, be good to see how it turns out using it on the stanchions.

Lots more happening with the stanchions now. We have all but 2 fitted (the gate we are using with the ladder is all that is left). Working on the braces for the gates and pushpit at the moment. More videos coming.
