1. Nice video

2. So sorry to see that the mast support has issues and the amount of work apparentlt required to rectify it . Fascinating learning about the new process for bringing the hull to a high gloss ( also the bit abour the nail varnish) looking forward to the next episode . Good luck and thanks for the great videos

3. everything is relative – try finding that your mast compression post needs to be replaced but not only will you have to remove the mast ( and there is NO crane nearby to do so ) but tear out a bulkhead that the WOODEN rotten post is integral to and it goes down into the bilge that is nearly inaccessible unless you are a hobbit ! people always complain about boat problems which is human nature , but we always consider if we lived in a house on land it would be all the same – roof needs replacing , air conditioning / heat system is failing , refrigerator is broke , neighbors are noisy , plumbing needs replaced , hurricanes , tornadoes , fires , earthquakes , tsunamis always a potential threat ! Wherever you live there will be issues . A sailor must be a half glass full eternal optimist who rolls with the punches 😀 Hope yours is a simple as it looks to fix , VERY jealous of that ease of access ! Fair Winds !

4. Flip guys, glad you found the issue with the mast before you go across the Atlantic 👍👍. I live across the river from sopromar in Lagos, if you need a pair of hands to help with anything 👍👍

5. Buy the maxprop 83mm zinc with 6 holes they have an aluminum collar cast into the zinc. This collar prevents the zinc from coming off do to the zinc wearing away at the screw holes. Used to have the problem you are describing, Never More!

6. *** a hole in the water to pour money *

7. This reminded me of Project Atticus. They had to reinforce their mast step before leaving the USA.

8. I appreciated the comments on the gelcoat restoration. One day I'll need to do that to my 44' sailboat. I have the belief, that while the caulkly surface is annoying, it's helping to protect the underlying gelcoat, or what's left of it. However, black fungus (or whatever it is) can grown in it and maybe accelerates the damage???

9. When you get across the Atlantic, stop in at Oriental, N.C…..its the sailing Capital of North Carolina….nice little Village….many folks from Europe stop in here…..😊

10. Oh dear what a nightmare! Hope it all comes together 🤞🏼.
    At least you have real sand and surf! 😬

11. So this will be a similar fix as sailing Uma's?

12. Out of the gloom
    
    A voice said unto me,
    
    “Smile and be happy,
    
    Things could be worse.”
    
    So I smiled and was happy
    
    And, behold, things did get worse……..Sorry 😁

    I am a great believer in positive spin. In this case, you are already on the hard, near a boatyard, not too far from the UK and it sounds like help may be on hand locally for translations and the like. As a bonus, you now have a subject for the tech video's "How I refloated our mast"

13. We can't thank you both enough for the lovely episode, "Annapolis Boat Show". Again, we do hope the mast complication doesn't turn into a time consuming expense.

14. Hey Steve – did you give up on the G Techniq, or did it give up on you?

15. Our Starlink worked great even in 10 foot seas. Looking forward to your crossing. Fair winds!

16. Thank you for your very honest vlogs….love watching! 👍🥰🥂

17. Now how is that mast issue possible? Is it the strength of the hull what can not handle the pressure of the rig anymore or is it the new rig being too tight? I hope you can fix it asap and that the fix will solve it for the coming years ! As always, good luck. Fair winds and following seas is a bit overdone in this situation.

18. The steps down into the cabin on that steel boat are certainly civilized and the small handmade transat boats have so much character. A circumnav must require some serious life planning.

19. Anodes maxprop,generally too small to last one year….if you dont take precautions with the bolts as you mentioned,the just fall off,and you have with your boat an bigger then the general smaller boats.
    Putting some sika IN the holes wich then covers the bolts helps a lot.( not to fall off)
    There must be a way to adress the mastpole isseu without taking the mast off?
    Just relaese the rig tension,and put for example two supports under the deck to the sides off the hull where the keel starts at the sides,you have to support only the weight off the mast ??

20. All the best with the mast repair and moving forward with your goals.
