Coborând din St. Martin în Caraibe, am făcut o scurtă oprire în St. Barths pentru a vedea cel mai periculos aeroport din lume. Nu aveam idee ce avea să se întâmple când vom pleca dimineața, dar ne-ar schimba viața și perspectiva asupra navigației pentru totdeauna!

What in Dee hell?!? Aren't those the shiny new chromed out chain plates you just installed a few months back?
You are lucky you didn't lose the mast. I had the same thing happen on my Cal 29 years ago. Mast folded in half when the upper shroud chain plate broke at deck level. I hate internally mounted chain plates. PLEASE replace all your chain plates.
Maybe less tiny dog and more sailing knowledge? ⛵
Gotta love Kelly's facial expressions!
Yep one goes they all go and look at the stem head understress all the time and the same age
The stick is still standing so in my book that's a win.
Handled it well but why, in the first place???
… and that is the problem w/ chainplates that go through the deck and attach inside the hull. I have always been a fan of exterior mounted chainplates … you can inspect them much easier. I would also add a attachment point that you can jury-rig a back-up shroud to … and carry a length of spectra/vectra/dyname that is strong enough or stronger the the SS wire-rope used for the shroud … use the main halyard and the spectra/vectra/dynama … to the "spare" attachment point … Idea: mount an extra exterior chainplate that you can "shackle" to in a emergency …
I lost a mast/rigging, due to broken toggle on the chainplate, during high winds. Seawater is not stainless steels friend. Likely the rest are just as bad. Be thankful it happen in daylight and not a crazy storm.
One major thing we appreciated on our Morgan 43, that cannot be done on our current boat, was the ability to pull the chainplates, inspect, and rebed. Please do NOT use 3M 5200 to seal, it won’t work. 3M 4000 UV is good though.
I feel ur pain. Lost my rig a few years back when we were 28 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico at 1:00 am during a regatta. Chain plate failure where it couldn’t be inspected easily. When replacing mast, had all new chain plates made and attachment point. Luckily your rig stayed up.
Is that you playing the 12 string on the voice over?
I broke a starboard backstay turnbuckle sailing solo, I was able to fix it but I thought I was done for, when it broke it was like a gun going off.
I see why some people strongly suggest having exposed chainplates. Six in one, Half dozen in the other… Good luck, looking forward to learning how to fix that..
You should carry dinema line on board zingaro had their whole rigging system made out of dyneema and when their pontoon broke off their boat they tied the boat together for a couple of days like that limped it into in the port that dinema is some hard core line
You better do a thorough inspection of all the rest of your chain plates when you're fixing that one but if one of rusted like that who knows
Stainless does that, always inspect the parts that are not visible.
Good recovery not a good situation to be in but you live to fight another day
We had a fitting, which I call a toggle, fail on our McGregor cat and we were dismasted. When we got a new mast up, I added a second shroud and separate chain plate and bronze instead of SS fittings. McGregor did cut the costs too close for me.
Phew lucky the rigs still there , Shit happens , Bloody virus gets everywhere . Its a win really , fair winds .
After I bought our boat (Endeavour 42) i pulled my chainplates and they were all bad. If you had a modern, production boat with a Selden mast this probably would have been a different video. Glad your safe. BTW Kodos on keeping cool, assessing the situation and making the wise decision of heading to safe harbor.
Arthur's clearly not French, English? How does he explain to the royals him being a Chihuahua?
From the little time I could see the remainder of the chainplate at the deck it looks to me that this was caused by cloride stress corrosion , which makes SS brittle when starved from oxygen and salty water is present. Believe the chainplates are wrongly designed in combination with leakage from the deck. Dan Eatherton who commented – titanium and you'll OK.
Happy you did not loose the rig, looking forward to see you out on the water again.
But at least you have the best person to so those broken sales and she's pretty good on the eyes I must say Then spell to word right but you get the gist haha Vegas bell been really sick glad the watch your videos feeling better
Oa
I think we all become a little complacent when it comes to chainplates, especially given the industry recommendations to pull, inspect/replace them at certain intervals. It’s impossible to know what the metal is actually doing just from a visual inspection. Luckily you were not caught in persistent rough weather which would have taxed the rig even more. You remained calm, cool, and collected and this story should end well. Stay safe!
14:00 does that yacht really have a sailboat and powerboat mounted on deck? Lol, some people are ridiculous.
Love it guys….everything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
why would you leave any sails up when you have lost a shroud?
Make sure to check all the chain plates. They always rust out under the deck surface‼️ PLEASE WEAR VEST AND SAFETY LINE WHEN ON DECK UNDER WAY. STAY SAFE‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Sorry to see this bad times for you hope you sort it out and it's not to costly
,,, Go working……..idiots ‘’’
They have a freakin' 82RS Swan on the aft deck!
Wow,never think that would happen.
Hello Nick, Kelly and Arthur! Just wanted to say I just watched your You Won't Believe Our Story episode from November 2017 and it is Awesome to see you guys here still cruising!!! It is a inspiration to see you folks Getting Busy Living the good one instead of dying in the hamster wheel! Slainte, Saude, Skoll, Kampai, Bersulang from San Francisco! Mike Abe
i'm just getting to this video. as much as i enjoy most of your content. that really strange relationship with your dog, and overly advertising you gals goods, sends me away more often than keeps me here.
but, that chain plate. I'm not sure how you missed that, with those rust stains at the joint, it's a real serious red flag. quite easy to see, not hard to see sir. i'm sure by now you've replaced all of your chain plates. thinking the top of the mast might be worth a concern too. rust stains on stainless is a huge red flag. it doesn't ionize out of thin air. rust stains, plain and simple mean rust and it needs to be located and repaired. this could have been way worse for ya'll.
but you know that.
do i remember correctly that that bozo rigging dr charged ya'll a consulting fee to talk you through your dyneema? maybe he forgot to help you know what to look for. I know his rigging video puts anybody that follows those instructions at risk.
lesson learned?
are you going to do a "lessons Learned " video from the start to now?
I always have a come along on board… and a welder.
