This has been a busy, get a little caught up with the videos, type week. Hold fast as there will be yet another video out tomorrow showing Wave Rover sailing down Long Island Sound. Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas.

What a elegantly simple solution to the age old problem of junk rigs. Thank Harold for being there to help Alan with this bit of a pesky problem

@peterv3429 8 месяцев назад

Hmm it appears as quite serious weakness of junk rig :/

@johnmitchell7437 8 месяцев назад

Hello Alan, just a quick tip on the difference between a "pocket" and a sleeve: a sleeve will allow your batten to enter at one end and exit at the other. A pocket with allow your batten to enter at one end, then stop at the other (just like your change pocket in your blue jeans. Haha!) I really admire what you have done with the boat which you have created with your own hands: admirable! jm2marinecanvas

Maybe a carbon fibre mast might have been worth the extra expense? I think you have been aware of the chafing problem from early on but it takes time to assess how long it takes before it needs fixing. Sail well. Sail safe. If it is Christmas at sea may the weather treat you well. Cheers.

@curtiscagle6261 8 месяцев назад

How much do you think a carbon fiber mast would cost? I thought that would be a good idea.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

The chaff is taken care of with this simple solution. I always wanted to keep this design simple and affordable, hence the wood mast.

Thank you for the quick tour of Stonington. What a lovely town. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Wave Rover.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

Same to you my friend!

I thought you were going to discuss the plan for the winter? I'm sure everyone's interested to know.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

I'll explain the plan for 2024 in the new year.

The sail chaffing issue could have been extremely concerning had you been out at sea. All I can say is, Hark the Harold angel's things--when it came to repairing your sail.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

"Hark the Harald" well said!

@james-zs9ub 8 месяцев назад

Not really. It would mean some holes in the batten pockets, but that wouldn't affect the sailing ability, or the integrity of the sail. You'd need to chafe through most of the length of the batten pocket to cause a problem, which would be that the sail could pull away from the battens when on starboard tack - but it's hard to see that happening. Still a good call to make good and fit the carpet - it will make for a quieter time in light conditions. And preserve the paintwork on the mast.

@todmills 8 месяцев назад

I wonder if some sort of lubricant might be helpful? Maybe beef tallow, like Kevin Boothby prefers to use on his gaff rigged boat.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking of putting some on the mast

@redfox4098 8 месяцев назад

While you're fixing chaf, I'll throw salt on the icy drive here in Charlottetown. -3c wind Chill -12c brrrrrrr Warm sailing on Wave Rover.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

Lol, I'm back for Christmas and enjoying the same weather.

Have you considered making your way to the NC Maritime Museum at Beaufort, NC? They have a boat building workshop across the street from the museum. The workshop is right on the waterfront.

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

I didn't know about the NC Maritime Museum

@VinnyBully 8 месяцев назад

Just dont walk around like that when you get to New York ! 🤣

@RoversAdventure 8 месяцев назад

lol

Maybe you should have gone With Layers of Epoxy then polish with 400 sandpaper. Natural finish be Better. Or Carbon Fiber Mast and look at the Weight saving?
