Historic Vessel Vega
Singapore
Registrace 29. 04. 2010
The HISTORIC VESSEL VEGA was built in 1892 by Norwegian boatbuilder Ola H. Nerhus for trade in the North Sea and the Baltic. VEGA and her volunteer crew are still working, sailing over 6,000 miles every year delivering cargo’s of hope and empowering local people to solve their problems.
Vega 1892 is a small, highly effective “Mom & Pop” initiative dedicated to helping remote often isolated communities in Indonesia and East Timor. We concentrate on improving educational and health services. Empowering small communities to solve their own problems is another important part of our mission. Vega delivers training, tools, educational and medical supplies according to a list of what is needed by each community. Those supplies are sponsored or donated by our friends who want to help others. Vega delivers those donations directly into the hand of teachers, midwives and health workers who need them to do their job.

Sailing with the Historic Vessel Vega
As you know our prime objective at Vega 1892 is to deliver educational and medical supplies along with reading glasses for the elderly to remote, often isolated, island communities where they make a huge difference in peoples lives. Right now the supply side is flowing nicely and it looks like when the monsoon changes we will have roughly 17 tons to deliver. The problem is that after almost three years without any fundraising events we are seriously worried about the running cost to make those deliveries. I'm talking about fuel, food for the crew, and all those things that let us move. It doesn’t help anyone if we have a full load but can’t get there to deliver it. We could sure use some help right now. vega1892.com/

Historic Vessel Vega. Setting up Shrouds with Dead Eyes and Lanyards
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
Deadeyes and lanyards are still entirely practical today. We use them on Historic Vessel Vega because they are resilient, easy on the spars and rigging, and their elasticity is quite noticeable. They give under sudden strains and bad weather, and in times of stress (God forbid !) are quickly cut away.

Splicing is a method for joining rope into a loop or joining two lengths of the line by weaving the strands together rather than tying a knot. It is a very useful thing to know how to do, and once you get the hang of it you can use it for all sorts of things at home and on the water. If you’re trying to splice something really heavy, you may need a fid for a little extra help. Masking tape will...

Vega spent the past month in the Anambas Islands (look them up on Google maps) delivering educational supplies, solar systems, and Kits-4-Kids bags to several small island communities. This little film covers our work providing reading glasses for the elderly. You would be amazed how a simple pair of reading glasses can improve the quality of someone's life. If a small fishing village only has ...
Anambas IT, Historic Vessel Vega

Here is a short video about the computers we have been delivering to schools on the remote islands of Anambas. These days, kids who cannot use computers are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to advancing in life. In our own small way, we are making a difference in the lives of people on these forgotten islands. Hope you enjoy it.

What a great video. So simply voiced and instructed!
dubbing and sound effects is horribly bad.
you are correct there a few ways to do it, but that ain't one them
I've never seen that "technique" before either.
Leeward shrouds can also be tightened and tuned on a nice tack.
Not too much though - very easy to overtighten in that situation leading to very unbalanced stresses. You probably know this but others may not.
@@rmcnabb Gangster comment...good man
Marlingspike seamanship is near to my heart.
I'd love to make similar deadeyes and bull's eyes for my sail dinghy, but I seem to have trouble figuring out which way the wood grain should be oriented. Horizontal or vertical? 😅😅
Vertical.
So Cap'n after all this time following you , I did not know you had some CZcams Vid , lovely So as to rig .A main Top'sl , stays'l Ketch, loose footed flying jibs (2) , 1 footed Jib ? Is the old Boat Carpenter close ?...LOL She is a wonderful vessel , wish you the best as ever...
Thank You, this was very informative.
What a great video. Wikipedia's explanation of deadeyes was impossible to follow.
So I'm rigging dyneema, I'm also doing these traditional wooden deadeyes (purple heart wood), I'm having a problem where as I'm tensioning my deadeyes are rotating so the holes become vertical, or worse rotate all the way 180°. I've used beeswax, cooking oil to try and make it easier, but it rotates everytime...any suggestions?
Your problem is a round deadeye. You're mixing technologies that don't actually work that well together. The seizing on the shroud holding the deadeye in place isn't tight enough. Often wire is used for this. Dyneema is insanely strong but it also has very low friction , and if you really clamp down on it to hold it in place around a deadeye, you're making a weak point in the yarns. Just because it's rope doesn't mean it's the right rope for all rope tasks. Look at Colligo Rigging for other ideas using deadeye technology but made with dyneema in mind.
@@rmcnabb hey thanks for the reply, actually I figured out that in order to create the friction you need to keep the deadeye blocks from turning, you need to parcel and serve the dyneema eye that the deadeye sits in with (if I recall correctly) #36 tarred seine twine. It costs 1/100th the pice of any colligo stuff, and it harkens back to the old tall ship days of parceling and serving. I got the purple heart blocks for about 300$ and I made about 30 or so deadeyes out of that, so vastly cheaper, DIY friendly, cost effective, and now my ketch is running full dyneema, parcelled and served, with beautiful purple heart deadeyes. And the parceling and serving not only helps with chafe resistance and UV damage, but the tension put on the dyneema from the serving mallet makes the dyneema stronger (in so far as it more closely meets the breaking loads even after splices) ...Old school methods meet new school line! It's awesome.

both are good options. Monkey fist is larger

Hello, I just read through your 'About' section, and think what you're doing is fabulous...I'm finishing up a Day Skipper course and speak fluent Bahasa Indonesia...I spent two years travelling through Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok and NTB in the early 80s and have visited numerous times since; I also spent a couple of years as a deckhand on oceanographic research ships. I would love to crew for you for a couple of weeks...how do I get in touch?
