1. Welcome to Day 16! We said we would share the reality, and there's nothing more real than fighting the weather and improvising!

2. I'm going to say. The one way valve connected to the line for the bilge pump should be accessible even when the diesel tank is installed. If something happens and the valve becomes damaged you will need to get to it and make repair without moving the full diesel tank that could weigh 500 kilos. And, there should be a shut off valve to isolate that line before it goes under the tank and connects to the through hole. You'll be happy you installed the redundancy.

3. Thanks! you could’ve wrapped your hand around the end so you would’ve made contact with your mouth to your hand and not that valve or you could’ve used a piece of hose that you just jam on to the end to blow through. You really shouldn’t have been putting your lips on that, especially if it’s a used one. Even bilges has some pretty disgusting stuff in them.

4. I live in Townsville, Australia, and we've just gone through a nasty cyclone followed by a series of heat waves and no power for five days. North Queensland can be a trying place. Right this moment, it's raining heavily again. So when I see you struggling with tarps, I'm thinking, "you've seen nothing yet, son…"

5. Should back flow valves not be closer to the pump? As installed now all the water in hose will drain back into bilge. Depending on how sensitive your float switch is you could end up in endless cycle. Pump turns off, water drains back to bilge causing level to rise and turn pump back on!

6. better be safe and use those flow valve. than sorry…

7. Called a check valve

8. Another day closer to SPLASH-DAY..!! Woohoo 🎉 So much job satisfaction with every step.
   Not long now..!! Enjoy. ❤

9. Non return velves are a good option. If the pumps are needed, you don't want the pleasure of waves beating against the boat, pushing water into the out flow.

10. Well done guys. Getting very excited. You are almost there.

11. The non return valves need to be placed close to the pump. Prevents cycling of pump.👍

12. Looking good, guys.

13. I am not sure I understand what was said about check valves with the bilge pump. The pump is usually put in the lowest part of the ship (bilge). Water is collected in the bilge and at a certain lever, the bilge pump removes the water (or most of it) through a water line that exits at a high point above the sea water level. When the pump shuts off, there is still water remaining in the water line between the pump and the exit port. To keep that water from flowing back through the pump and back into the bilge, a check valved is installed right after the pump. This valve is really inexpensive and easy to install. The valve is a simple "flapper" design and is also used for household sump pumps. You could install it in practically 10 minutes. You can get the valves at the hardware store.

14. May I ask please what is the silver metal on the fittings you are using ?

15. Ben, I wanted to remind you that diesel tanks are not blocked "Longitudinally". If you get rough seas with pitch they can move.

16. Great watching your daily uploads! I know you are under the gun to get launched, and I don't want to sound alarmist, but your bilge pump outlets as currently set up could sink your boat. The outlet is about 20 cm above the static waterline (predicted, since you don't really know how she will set with all the new timber and ballast) but could easily be underwater when the boat heels. In that case, that check valve is the only thing preventing your boat from downflooding through the bilge outlet. Check valves (properly installed near the pump) are really only intended to prevent the contents of the hose from coming back in, not the whole sea. They are also susceptible to fouling by whatever might be rattling around in the bilge, therefore the requirement to be accessible for maintenance, as pointed out by other commenters on here. The normal installation requires a riser loop in the hose, the top of which is to be at least 30 cm above the heeled waterline. You likely don't have that much room, but at least you could run it up to the underside of the deck. Best of luck.

17. Loïc is a Brittany name. Is he French ?

18. Thanks!

19. Amai, Amai.. mannekes toch. 😂

20. 😃😃

21. ❤counting down for launch!!!❤

22. I’m confused, do you not have your Victron inverter installed yet? You should be able to charge from shore power if you do.

    Also, I’m curious to hear why you chose the MultiPlus and not the Quattro.

    Keep up the great work!

23. Yes, the one way valve, or check valve, should be installed immediately after the bilge pump. Keep up the good work. What happened to the bananas?

24. 👍🏽

25. I don't think I'd mount that check valve behind the fuel tank.

26. Way to take the easy job. Surfs up 🏄‍♂️. Keep being awesome team.

27. Vocês são otimos.Vale o esforço. Quando estiver navegando com o Yaba.Cada cantinho trará recordações do teu sior Ben❤❤

28. Some days just go slower. Working in the rain just sucks. Getting a battery charger will make everything better and allow full power for tools etc. But those BIG batteries will last a long time with just LED lights so don't sweat it. You guys are doing great!

29. Y didn’t you put ball valves on the upper thru hulls. Like you did on the lower ones?

30. Crazy idea. You've had to re-caulk a few times due to the wood drying out. Is it worth spraying water in the lower levels to expand the wood a bit AND test the bilge pumps at the same time. I'm sure they'll work perfectly. Just start the wood swelling now before you splash Yaba.

31. Have you ever read “The Cruise Of The Snark” by Jack London. The build took so long that repairs were needed before the ketch was done! It reminds me of Yaba because some of your outside brightwork already needs refinished from the constant rain and humidity. London finally said screw it and set sail with plans to complete necessary repairs in Hawaii. It’s an excellent read, I highly recommend it.

32. You need to change the forward hatch locking hasp before someone get locked in!

33. Progress continues in spite of the rain. (That food looked amazing at the end of the video!) 😎💕💕💕💕🥰

34. I posted the other day how we must be on the same latitude here in Australia as you in Brazil because we were working outside in crazy hot and humid weather as well. Well, we’ve just had a massive downpour of rain as well. How crazy coincidental is that?

35. Bad idea putting a check valve in a bilge line. It's one more thing to fail when you may really need the pump to work. Better to run a loop up high and back down.

36. I agree with the people that say to put the duckbill valve right next to bilge pump then the hose out.
    Will help you keep a drier bilge.
    I would put one on each pump as close to the pump as possible.

37. I dunno how you do all this and have time to edit videos. Keep it up guys! I wanna buy all your merch when you start shipping to New Zealand 😅

38. I guess even the bilge pumps want to show off their acrobatic skills on this off-grid wooden boat!

39. Continued progress!! As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.

40. It looks like it’s waining 😂. Is it a tropical storm or just raining? Myself I life in the far east, I love it when it rains.

41. I did not see you do it and you may well of done, but I did notice you struggling to get the hose on to the hose connector. Just a tip to make it easier is to put the end of the hose in boiling or very hot water to make it supple and easier to push on. This also makes a better seat if you tighten your hose clamps when the hose is soft . Great to see you every day now and so looking forward to your splash. i have been with you from day one and actually thought you were both nuts.. I've never been so glad to be proven wrong. 🙂

42. Het ziet er steeds neter uit het mooier
