1. My friends! I'm enjoying your content. THANK YOU.

2. The Transats look like toy sailboats. So cute. Bon voyage.

3. I see the way this was constructed as a significant design error. To have a tank between the compression post and the keel is insane. At least they used teak. Had the teak end tangs failed then it would probably have been catastrophic. The bridge needs to be one with the hull to ensure the optimum weight and force distribution. I think parallel I-Beams sitting on as much hull area as possible would be a way to do this.
   A naval architect's opinion would be invaluable
   Really interested to see your engineered solution

4. So interesting watching you guys go through taking off the mast and all the other sails and rigging. My partner is going to need to take down the mast on his boat (Also a Hans Christian, from the late 80’s) in the near future so it’s good to see what this entails and I am learning so much from you guys and from being on his boat for the last 5 years. Best wishes to getting it all fixed and back together.

5. A really interesting video & quite a challenge ahead – but you are clearly up to it, and you are in a great location to get help. The way that conduit was routed 'via cutting the teak' is just crazy! The things some people do to boats…

6. Good to hear you are making progress on this repair, it looks very challenging.

7. Hang in there man! You — among all the sailing channels — DO NOT DESERVE THIS!

   Ha… ya ya that doesn’t help much… you still have to deal with it!

   But just know many of us see you as … a legend of a man TRYING to ‘do it right’ in every way… so it’s especially painful to see you two have to go through this kind of ‘expensive boat repair in exotic lands’ nightmare.

   Godspeed to your efforts to address the issue!

8. somethink !!!!?????

9. What's a "rowter"? 😆

10. They must have used the pet Beaver to cut that piece of teak, not very healthy stuff either, I hope he's ok.

11. Really interesting. Thank you. David

12. Good video, thanks

13. Is there any information available on how the area under the mast would have been constructed at the factory? As you said in the video, that piece of teak wasn't to the same standards of craftsmanship as is present in the rest of the boat. On the other hand, the amount of work required to step the mast and remove the post and cover seems like more work than an owner would put in to do something like run a conduit. People sometimes do strange things, though.

    PS, you two are fantastic. I hope this repair goes well and you are underway again soon.

14. I'm sure I'm not the first to ask but what are the brown things on your rigging

15. Very captivating episode, as usual. Love it.❤

16. mast step problem vary interesting good luck

17. Refrigeration lines are not usually pressurized to check integrity. It’s much better to pull
    a vacuum for a few hours and purge the brazing under nitrogen.

18. I figured out what is wrong with your mast…
    "You do not know how to pronounce Aluminum" says the Yank.
    "When are they going to properly speak the Queen's English?" he wonders.
    That is my poor American sense of humor – you ARE the one pronouncing it 'correctly', of course 😉

19. Did you drill a hole to disconnect the motor on dish? We are just waiting for ours now and that’s how I was going to do it 😬🤙

20. Another great video Steven and Judy you always leave it that you can't wait until the next one for an update.
    Absolutely love all your videos.

21. To be the contrarian here and as someone who has done quite a bit of boat work. This seems like a huge expense about a problem that was likely fairly minor. Unless there was something actively taking place off camera; like having to repeatedly tension the rig, that board recently breaking downward, new squeaking, groaning, or rattling on different points of sail, the coach roof bowing inward, or separating there is no reason to think that slightly crushed wood on that support was negatively affecting anything. That small tab of wood covering that conduit had nothing to do with the mast load. Not sure of the local prices but pulling the mast like this is probably $25k-ish if not more.

    I believe the statics of the system were a misstated; the mast was supported via the steel crossbeam that redirected the downward force to multiple pads. We at least saw two fairly large contact pads meaning each pad was distributing 1/2 the downward force distributed over a fairly large contact patch. That patch was thickly glassed on all sides effectively preventing "squish out" and further widening the distribution area. One side was even bound by a very substantial stringer. One can argue the wisdom of placing the patch over an integrated tank but it would be difficult to assess without knowing a lot more. There could be an integral support there, extra thick fiberglass construction, etc. Fiberglass is incredibly strong. While eclipsed in today's world by carbon fiber and other exotics it is still an impressive material especially in compression/tension like this case. The effective distribution area is likely MUCH larger than a mast sitting on a single point on the keel. It is also probably giving it greater lateral stability.

    Wood has a fair amount of air space and is subject to a small amount of crushing before stabilizing in a hardened compressed matrix. That minor crush likely took place 40 years ago and hasn't worsened sans active wood rot. Given how incredibly tensioned the compression post was having to use a screw post to raise the coach roof to get it out. Clearly it has been that way a LONG time. The compressed wood probably even created a stable contact patch rather than point loads that a harder material might have. Wood is expected to give and expand and compress slightly.

    To the best of my knowledge Hans Christians are NOT known to suffer from dismasting problems.

    All that said, I would do little more than maybe use some penetrating epoxy to stabilize the active crack to prevent moisture incursion to maybe discourage rot in the broken fibers. I would not try to transfer the mast load to those wood stringers its unlikely they are designed to hold those kind of loads. The large contact patches at each end are likely much better.

    All this is predicated on a fair amount of unknowns regarding the overall construction that can't be seen from the video.

22. Nothing like a serious problem to draw in the YouTube audience. We're all super keen for the next video

23. Somewhat clickbaity! Annoyed I fell for it as I saw the previous episode! 😉 I would have watched anyway of course. Seriously, good luck with this. I know with our boat some issues just seem to be part of the deep fabric of the boat and feel more worrying (our most recent being a sudden awareness that we needed to re-engine) than others. It will seems a distant memory when you are mid Atlantic.

24. 0:44: 🌊 The video discusses the sinking of a boat and the plan to lift the mast.
    3:55: 🛠️ The boat's dryer has been in the wrong line, but they hope to have a reliable system soon.
    8:03: 💻 The video discusses the power consumption and location of a router on a boat.
    12:53: 🏗️ The video shows the preparation for removing the mast of a sailboat.
    17:38: 🔍 The top of the step is solid teak, but underneath it is hollow and seems to be a tank.
    20:57: 🛥️ The biggest challenge of working on the boat is the time-consuming process of fitting stainless hand rails and backing plates.
    24:17: ⛵️ A group of sailors set off on a race from Lanzarote to Antigua, facing initial calm winds and misty conditions.
