That’s so funny, I was listening to you say how you had to carry a big package all the way back from the office and I was about to comment that what you need is a bike trailer😂😂😂

I believe people need to follow their dreams. Something happens when that is so a governing place in shared lives. I've been lucky to have felt waves just as I fell asleep and awakened to rain....and while many years ago now....stood at lands end of South Africa. It was a reminder that day....the edge of the sea has nice sunshine. M.

wow so nice trailer , i'm glad i could help you sponsor that nice trailer , i see that it is easy to carry on your boat , because it can be taken apart and stored on the boat , greetings Hendrick ubels.

“It will be alright.” I love that philosophy! And SCORE, on the furler! You guys are great! 💕💕💕😎😎😎

There was a boat abandoned near us. The owner was in care and the Trustees refused to sell it. It deteriorated until the engine room was flooded. Had 20+ pigeons living on it. When he died his will left the boat to the club. It was sold for peanuts and taken away. Literally a $180,000 boat left until it was worth $2000. The pigeons stayed....

Perseverance is apparently hard wired in you both. It takes guts to slog on through difficult and trying times. I’m proud of you both though I’m not someone whom you know, but let it be known that I love sailing as well. It is a different world. Thanks for your independence and strength.

Looking forward to seeing your living area a bit more settled and more comfortable for you both now. Getting those windows sorted along with making her watertight on the decks first has been good watching you prioritise though. G'luck with those windows... damn! Is there any possibility of repairing, fabricating or repurposing some/those catches... carbon/nylon 3D printing even... happy to help? However, your 'mast' reveal was great news... at last! Crack on Seabirds... 'Winter is Coming'!

nice going with the bike trailer. The windows. How is it possible that there are no the right shutters available? Cant you make one window with new Plexiglass? Changing rubber on windows (if you have to), is still cheaper than buying new ones for 170. If you shop around, maybe there is a company that can water- or laser cut your Plexiglass. Maybe ask the people of the harbor if they know a place where they can make the plexiglass to shape. You can always get one of these Fretsaws, and use a drill to make it into shape precisely. It may be the cheapest. Good luck with the build. It is starting to go where it needs to be. Greetings, Jeff

@philgray1023

The plexiglass is a doddle. It is the hinges and handles that fit into the frames that fall apart. One by one my handles are failing. The company stopped making them. Just put in new hatches. OK. One hatch $890. Fitting charge by local boatyard $1,000. They have a 1mm tolerance over 550mm length. Get that wrong and you will wake up with a wet bed. All because a $20 plastic handle failed.

Hiya Nigel, Not going to publish all your comments. I'll give you a summary. Strength, so I can't lift an engine alone wit a 6:1 block that makes me a weak sailor. If I needed to do it everyday I'd agree. The mast. A bit of pitting means nothing, weld a collar on the base. The mast is fine. We know a new foot/socket is needed for the keel, where the mast sits. You had many negative comments on us as people and some were even edging on nasty. We've sailed enough and worked on enough boats to know what we have. Can I ask where has your wealth of knowledge has come from. What boat refits have you done, where have you sailed. You might be coming from a concerning place but they way you out it is rude and disrespectful. Never poo poo someone's dream as it makes you look like a bitter person.
