Hi mate im away to do my seal soon and your advice on the dzr fitting was realy helpfull thanks

I think I can vouch for your comments on brass sea-cocks

My brass discharge sea-cock in the head 'looked' 100% AOK when my boat was surveyed prior to purchase

Just prior to Xmas, I was having the Lectrasan unit reconditioned

When the shipwright was trying to reattach the discharge sanitation tubing from the Lectrasan to the discharge seacock, the seacock completely tore-off in his hand (as a result of the application of pressure/force in trying to reattach the sanitation hose back on to the seacock)

a jet-stream of water entering the boat was the result - his quick thinking allowed him to plug the through-hull with his foot, while he called for help from his colleagues on his cell-phone

The boat was emergency slipped, and all sea-cocks were replaced for piece of mind (at a cost of AU$2500 to me)

I had a look at the offending sea cock - the piping was completely corroded right through, so much so that the only thing holding it together was basically the rust itself

What I don't know is if the new seacocks are DZR types!

Great episode.

I have a question sir. Do you prefer a sail drive to the shaft driven prop and is there an advantage to this type of drive over the other?

richard y. - 6 years ago

just found your show i must go back and do some watching past show . so hello from a place called mounds oklahoma,,, thanks for sharing.

Been busy, missed some of your videos (will get caught up). Don't worry about getting videos out every day. Focus on the refit and getting the boat in the water. Unless you have reason to splash the boat by the 25th, a day or two later is OK. Less stressful and better finish on the refit. ;-)

Terry Harms - 6 years ago

I thank you for the though haul up grades did not know about the brass until now
you are doing great and thank you for sharing

You have brass and aluminum together in the saildrive with the new seacock. What are you doing for electrolysis?

gus quintela - 6 years ago

Another very good video. Thanks for sharing

Well done guys. As someone who brought up three children cruising (born in Istanbul, Turkey, Marbella in Spain (at my parents house), and St. Bart’s in the Caribbean) over an eight year period), I particularly get a kick out of darling Emma.

SV Andromeda - 6 years ago

Great stuff Chris and Rossella - keep up the great work!

santa mulligan - 6 years ago

Oh the yellow boot boys call it putty ,we don’t do mud

santa mulligan - 6 years ago

Yes usable water doesn’t stay very long you can be stranded on the boat so your supplies need to be on board as she goes in. I’m in mill brook and the engine gave out and I had to wait a tide with a packet of kp nuts and one teabag, so have your dinghy handy and work out the length of time you can get to shore. Upnor castle is great and you can book it for weddings. It’s famous as the place you could watch the Dutch pinch our fleet back along as the chain defence was hopeless.

MrTdr01 - 6 years ago

Bringing up the little one on the boat locks hard work. I’d rather do the bees in the loft.

Jeffrey Wood - 6 years ago

Thank you for another great video...as a fresh water sailor, I did not know that about brass; thanks you. Also, Emma is adorable :)

Mark Bernier - 6 years ago

Love to hear more from Rossella. English or Italian.She is interesting . Might learn something too.

Claas R - 6 years ago

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. I am particularly interested in anything boating related and watching your boat maintenance and repairs is much appreciated.

Emma’s thought of the day. “Daddy is a sailor not a singer”. Lol

Sailing Inconceivable - 6 years ago

Has she been awake for long?
LOL

Roy - 6 years ago

Good info about the brass, I knew not to use it, but not why. Thanks for sharing. Emma looks like a very content baby.
