Carbon Fiber Hardtop Bimini: The Ultimate Rain Catcher and Solar Power for Our Sailboat (9)
Building a custom bespoke carbon fiber bimini seems like a great idea. We have a Beneteau 49 sailboat and the bimini is falling off, so why not! This is the first step in the ACTUAL hardtop, everything leading up to this point.
Shorter episode because well, the next one is exciting :-)

Custom Carbon Fiber LEGS on our Sailboat. (8)

It seems like a great idea, build custom carbon fiber legs, for our sailboat! Also, carbon fiberglass dodger arch, mainsheet arch traveler combo contraption. Stick with me while I catch you up to speed on Eva, it's been a LOT of epoxy :-) Sit back enjoy and subscribe!

Billowing Smoke - Broken Turbocharger - But at least it got upgraded electronics! (6)
zhlédnutí 49KPřed 4 měsíci
Putting on a Smoke Show for the Marina wasn't planned for today. We worked to get the new Arco Zeus up and running, and it is a beautiful piece of kit. But something we realized while testing, when I brought the throttle up to the higher RPM's was, well there weren't any higher RPM's. Just smoke. So let's pull the #turbo and see what's going on. I realize I did a pretty poor job and telling you...

They make it look so easy online! But really this carbon fiber stuff is slick looking! Wetted out nicely and only had to fight it a little bit. Still haven't perfected the vacuum bagging part, had a tiny little leak but definitely better than a wet layup! @ExpeditionEngineering Thanks for the love and support everyone - please make sure you subscribe so we can make sure this channel sticks arou...

We're embarking on the ultimate expedition enclosure and we're so stoked. Bust out the saws and ear plugs, we're going to DIY our way through this one like always. I know you're all on the edge of your seats waiting to know what happens next with the washing machine and batteries and I PROMISE I won't make you wait much longer :-) Thanks for the love and support everyone - please make sure you ...
I Came THIS CLOSE To Conquering All Four Projects (1)

Welcome to @ExpeditionEngineering Everyone!!!! I am SO proud of you finding your way here. We're on a journey to fix EVERYTHING on this boat Eva and it starts today. And I come THIS CLOSE to conquering all four. But alas. But really the goal was to sort out the problems with out #lithium battery bank. Because we're in the process of installing an #induction cooktop along with a @NinjaKitchenUS ...

    I admire your effort but I think you should cut your loss. I don't see how this is going to work. If you hang an inflatable from it and then heal over you will get a lot of sideways stress that will be transferred to the deck by what looks like 2 inches. Think of it as a 5 foot crow bar! How are you expecting this setup to handle the sideways stress of a pounding sea on a heal?

    You can add paint to epoxy to make marbled glossy colors like the one Jade made with the nail paint. There's a lot of CZcamsrs who make fake marble countertops and shower enclosures with this method. It's beautiful, quick, cheap, easy, lightweight.

  • @davidt1621
    @davidt1621 Před 22 dny

    You can just wrap it with cheap regular vinyl film wrap, like what's used on car wraps, to cover your amateur non-prepreg carbon fiber part. Then it's waterproof, lightweight, and beautiful. Super easy fix and every color you could ever imagine, glossy or matte or whatever you please just like car wraps.

    HORRIBLE MAINTENANCE,now that I have everyone's attention. This is for people who have sailboats,what I see is a motor that is way over fueled. Go on a VW tdi site and look for how to clean your injectors and after that go to a country that has a certified mechanic that knows how to run the rack on the injector pump. most of you are in places that are considered third world counties, just because someone said that they know how to work on a motor does not mean they can do it correctly. everybody should look up their engine and familiarize themselves in case of problems that are a simple fix or at least keep from getting raped by some of these so called mechanics. Remember AAA does not go everywhere.

    random question since I love your videos but know less than nothing about sailing...will the new hardtop compromise the stability of the boat as far as wind goes?

  • @paladine6
    @paladine6 Před měsícem

    You should watch videos from Spear It Animal channel. They have same boat class and added a new hard top like that, but they raised their boom to get it higher so more room to stand under. Also added a stripper pole on top lol.

  • @dyspepticcurmudgeon4136
    @dyspepticcurmudgeon4136 Před měsícem

    Geez man, you need to learn how to properly set the outhaul. This has bothered me going back to your first sails. You set the main with far too much depth. You need to put some tell-tales on the leech, and set the outhaul and boom to have full flow over the main. As you have it, the entire back half of the main will be stalled *all the time*. And that is just drag.

    CONCERN CONCERN!!!! Bret, your bolts on your Carbon Fiber wings attachment to the boat, need a metal stock plate that you screw into. Inside your wing and under your boat fiberglass. Currently you have a 1.5" washer/bolt. Over time those fibers are going to wear. Take anything plastic and move it back and forth enough times and you will have 2 pieces. Same theory with your 2 bolt holes for your carbon wings.
