I love the idea of turning the spreaders into the jib crane. You probably already thought of this, but maybe add some rope to the pins so they can't fall in the water and get lost?

@choimdachoim9491 Год назад

I could't help it...all the photos at the end brought tears.

I started watching this when SV Seeker was just steel plate being winched into place in the Oklahoma winds.

@workerdroid290 Год назад

Well done. I love seeing the constant tuning of your rig, drive line, tender, machinery, and the many systems you have on board. It’s very interesting and satisfying. Bravo Sir.

We're it mine, I'd put latches outboard of the rear rail, leaving the rail smooth and safe. Flip the tender side hooks(square) out, then lift and forget!

After you drop the first shackle pin in the drink, consider retaining them with lanyards. 😉

@ptykiller Год назад

Dude! That crane was just down right awesome!! You never cease to amaze me bud, I have to admit it's cause of you that I decided to go buy a welding rig. I used to be very good at it, when I was a kid still in high school I had a dream of being an Underwater welder but for some reason the fact that it was one of the most dangerous professions probably scared the shit out of me as a kid. But man did I love welding. Maybe now in my late 40's I can start as a Hobby and make some cool shit.

@asleepinthealley Год назад

You've probably already thought of this but I'd weld some ends on your square tube to keep water and moisture as well.

@workerdroid290 Год назад

You either leave them open, for inspection and cleaning. Or fully enclose and hope there are no pinholes. Salt water is brutal. I think always better to leave open, paint, clean off and repaint as needed.. but do as you think best

@dougkirby4709 Год назад

Hi Doug, re load testing, maybe consider:- boat with max No of people (volunteers), max fuel, water etc plus say 50% safety margin achieved by putting the required additional weight in as water, the volunteers will have to be willing to get their feet wet ! Any resistance use the time honoured Navy method and simply press gang the "volunteers ". Regards Doug from NZ.

@SVSeeker Год назад

I'm not looking to break the tender. We have raised it out of the water with about 700 lbs of cargo, but the prefered method of high loads it to disembark passengers and some or all cargo on to the gangway. The only real need for hauling passengers up on the davits is because it's easier to board from a solid platform. And the spreaders are only intended to raise the tender even higher so it can be placed in slings.

So good to you today Sir. Those were some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. As usual great stuff. Take care and God bless.

@danross344 Год назад

I’ve been watching you build for over 10 years, but I do have an idea for you. I ride, motorcycles, off-road, and I use this stuff called chain wax. I bet if you got a canna that you could find a Lotta uses on your boat to Lube, pulleys and things like that to keep moisture off things I know I use a lot of stainless steel common plastic so they don’t need any lube, but things to roll easier with a little bit of lube.

@justinb9223 Год назад

Doug you are such an inspiration. Thank you.

@danthefrst Год назад

Looks great Doug. Seak and nice. One thought I got about the attatching shackles on the beams. If the big boat one gloomy day decides to sink and you swiftly need to hastily and under high stress unthread a bunch of shackle bolts when on the stormy seas and time is of essence the big boat might get all to fast? Great thanks for your videos

@SVSeeker Год назад

You don't have to remove the spreader bars. Just the pelican hooks need to be released.

@seancollins9745 Год назад

how did the sail rig modifications work out with stiffening the yard arms ?

@jimsubtle886 Год назад

Doug, I am curious. Are you recharging those DeWalt batteries with a 12 volt DC charger like the DCB119 or are you going through your inverter to 120 volt then charging off the AC house chargers? I'd be curious to know how much loss the inverter method versus the DC to DC.

@noiseosoutros 3 месяца назад

Very good.

@noraajagger4239 Год назад

"Innocent question" 😇 Are there any ceremonies for crossing the International dateline or the equator?

@KamikazeWombat Год назад

That's very clever. I'm sure I'm not the only person to say this, but you should figure out a way to hook the pins for the shackles to the bar so people can't drop them in the water. Could be as simple as drilling a hole through the bar then running a small cable through it. Could also weld some sort of loop, or even one of those spring clip loop thingys to the side of the bar.

@fundip2010 Год назад

The best way is to drill a small hole into the pin handle exactly on the along the axis it rotates. Run a small wire with a swaged head thru this hole and then crimp the wire to the shackle body. This way the wire spins freely when turning the pin and doesn't twist or tangle.

@KamikazeWombat Год назад

@@fundip2010 drilling a hole through the pin longways sounds like it would be a pain in the butt to do. I hadn't considered the part of how to attack a cable to the pin and that it would have to spin though. Perhaps drill a hole through the end then and just put a cheap swivel on whatever wire attaches the pin the shackle then

@fundip2010 Год назад

@@KamikazeWombat it’s very easy, Ive seen done it to hundreds of shackle pins. Keep in mind the axial hole is just on the tip of the handle and it just goes into the hole already in the handle, not all the way thru the entire pin.

@fundip2010 Год назад

@@KamikazeWombat the swivels work, but are very fiddly to deal with when threading in the pin. The riggers using these everyday much preferred the drilled hole.

@KamikazeWombat Год назад

@@fundip2010 oh I forgot they had a hole in the handle and was picturing them solid. Yeah I agree with your first comment now

@mrheart4242 Год назад

I was thinking. Won't the bar across the back cause interference with steering? I know it's removable. But in a os situation. It will be extra time to remove and run.

@wylieneal1380 Год назад

One question, are you going to fasten the clevis pins to the spreader bar somehow, no matter how careful you are some are going to fall overboard otherwise?

@okdiver589 Год назад

@hisroyalpimpnesssirisaacal7044 Год назад

@donaldslider8650 Год назад

I would make sure everything is in the center of the boat before you lift it

@j.sagiechode Год назад

So will they hold if you have several jerry cans of fuel and hundreds of pounds of groceries, and maybe a few people ... tubes look a bit thin.

@SVSeeker Год назад

No. If we have that much load, we have it in a cargo net and bring it on board with the deck crane.

@kyflyboy965 Год назад

I notice that you use your tig torch pretty often. Even when it seems like a mig or maybe even stick might work. I have never used a tig. So I am wondering why you seem to kinda favor it? Do I need to get a tig machine?

@dcrahn Год назад

Better add lanyards to those "D" ring pins, otherwise you'll be buying a lot of them.

@@Storizzle stainless steel in service where it is not submerged will not corrode as fast as you think, and when it gets losing its near new appearance another can be fabricated.
