1. Not replacing the chainplates? A 35+ year old boat with the mast out and lots of other refirbs being done would seem a very good time to do it. I’m aware of 4 boats that have had stainless chainplates fail recently that presented in really good condition. Three lost their rigs and the other had the forestay chainplate fail and they were able to save their rig. You absolutely cannot tell with them hence the advisability of replacing, particularly in the thirtieth plus year.

2. Ciao ragazzi!! Vi seguo sempre dall'Italia. Capisco quanto lavoro vi sia da fare xché anche sulla mia barca è sempre un gran casino. Un abbraccio Giovanni❤

3. hello guys, I always follow you from Italy. You understand how much work there is to be a king because even on my boat it is never finished!! A hug Giovanni❤

4. Good luck to you both.

5. I also planned on a year to refit mine, with similar jobs, ended up being just over a year.If there’s only two of you , then a year minimum, to do a good job.

6. A great video again. What I think you should look at is proper mosquito screen/ nets to all of the openings on Florence. As you sail to north the amount of mosquitoes, cadflies etc biting, blood- sucking insects is really horrendous. Since the fjords are generally very deep, you must anchor close to the shore and that´s when you get these guests onboard. The amount of these flying creatures is HUGE! Someone ones said that in Scotland mosquitoes can be a problem, well they aren´t. There´s a reason why they are called the other air force. A swarm of mosquitoes are known to drive herds of reindeers into panic. Plus a lot of insect repellent for you.

7. ♥️♥️🥰🥰

8. Are you thinking of going through the Northwest Passage ?

9. Good luck, guys. That's a big list to do 😂

10. Cheer up, go over and see magic carpet, there refit turned into a years long rebuild from bare hull!

11. Get a dehumidifier before going anywhere cold. It is the only way, other than spending a mint on diesel, to control condensation. I remove antifouling by wet sanding it, with detergent. That helps stop the sandpaper clogging and makes the job go more quickly.

12. That is quite a project. Having watched some channels, such as Sailing Sweet Ruca & Alluring Arctic Sailing, it's clear how important it is to have a reliable boat, equipped for remote places and extreme conditions, including , multiple sources of heating, redundancy, large fuel supplies in proper tanks (on deck fuel/water storage greatly reduce boat stability). It almost seems that the supplies and equipment required at high altitudes require a bigger boat. Even carrying long shore lines takes up alot of space. Don't skimp on the insulation, weather proofing and dehimdifying either.

13. Another great video. Not sure the wood wedges and struts, even with cross ties, are a reliable way, alone, to keep your boat upright (even with the mast off).

14. What is the fin attached at the stern of your yacht. Its always behind you moving about but we can't figure out what it is.
    Love watching you both and we are inspired and are selling up to start our adventure on the sea this year.
    Thanks

15. Question, How about insulation.??
    Will that be done.?? 🤔

16. Great to see you guys again. Seems a long time ago we were in Hout Bay South Africa, together. We’re still in the Caribbean and staying here for another season. We look forward to seeing your adventures going forward. Best wishes, John and Sandra. SV Knot So Bad

17. What design is SF ? she looks like a Waquiez, maybe a Hood 38 ?

18. ❤😂🎉😅

19. I can only imagine how much your muscles have been aching!

20. May God be with you, bless you, and keep you safe and sound, from East Tennessee.

21. Those triangular chain plates need at least a weep hole to allow water an egress or perhaps some lightning holes like an aircraft wing rib with perhaps some additional steel doubling plates to allow for ventilation to the enclosed space. Or else remove the wood on the bulkhead and build up with epoxy and glass so there is no wood in the dead space

22. Guys i like a voice over but geez-the whole video tho idk 🤔🤔🤔

23. Next door to my uncle's place, when Whale Island was the torpedo range.

24. What a horrendous list of things to do. Very impressive. I have the same toe rail and had a section replaced after being "T" boned whilst moored up. Luckily "his" insurance company paid but it was a massive job. I know that bending the rail to fit was very tricky. I hope it went well. A great video as usual. Many thanks.
