- Special thanks to Anders, who made it possible for us to purchase this arch (and therefore make this video) by giving us his old radar. Without it, we would have had to replace our entire marine electronics setup and would not have had the budget for this refit!

In this episode, we install a stainless steal arch at the back of Polar Seal. We go through design alternatives, the construction process and finally the installation of the arch.
Our arch support 610 Watts of solar array, a bar for our antennas and davits for our dinghy.

You found a highly skilled, honest, fair, craftsman who does super high quality work at value and delivers on schedule. That’s like a super unicorn. Congrats on finding such a rare specimen of marine tradesman!
After watching many of your episodes, I have decided that Sophie should take up being a standup comic. She is very funny.
It turned out perfect. Looks like it was factory integrated in the design. So much more solar also=more hairdryer time, lol.
Buy the way, 20-22 min is kinda the standard average of the sailing vlogging system of most successful vloggers on a weekly basis. Often the shorter ones, 8-10 min kinda leave one hanging or the detail zips by rather quickly and we all want to see our faves for a bit longer. 🙂🙂 ❤️⛵️
So what do you think of the end result?! Worth the extra budget? :)
That arch looks great! Can't wait to see the dingy on it to see how it all looks under sail. Now you need some fishing pole mounts back there to catch some fish while under way.
That is a professional job for a good price, well done Stuart. It's nice to see another Brit doing great work abroad. I make gantries for boats in Greece (normally when not locked down) and I am a professional Fabrication, Welding Technician. Your comment about "not asking" is absolutely true. Many boat owners get ripped off by hiked prices all over the world, so don't be afraid to ask around.
The thing I love about arches, as Ryan's pull-up (?) demonstrated, is the added hand hold overhead. It may not be as important on a dual helm boat, but on a single helm having something firm to hold while stepping around the helm is priceless. What a great job!
Phenomenal job Stuart from Arcglow Inox Almerimar! You sir are a real craftsman. The arch on the boat looks great! Money well spent - functionality and beauty.
A craftsman that takes pride in their work is worth every single penny most of the time...
GORGEOUS! The Arch, I mean. Sophie ALWAYS is. I LIKE how it turned out. You two are So GREAT together, you Compliment each other very well. Ryan's Level-headedmess keeps a lid on Sophie's bubbly exuberance, yet Sophie's personality keeps Ryan from sinking into the rut of simple practicality. This way the two don't get Carried Away and Shoot Off into Space, nor do you lapse into the doldrums of Same Old Same Old or SSDD. WONDERFUL! And the Seal looks Great, too, like she got a Big Spoiler on the back, to keep her Steady at 85 knots. WORTH EVERY DIME.
Wonderful video. Your fabricator needs more credits, the arch is beautiful!
Nice short video about an arc install.
Ryan & Sophie it's obvious that Polar Seal is your boat. I've never seen a lady (Sophie) more in love with a boat in my life. Sophie you care about Ryan, that's obvious too. But the work and care that you both have put into her amazes me. Love your video's weather they are long or short there always informative and just plain old fun to watch. I wish you both fair winds and calm sea's on all of your journey's.
The new arch looks great! Really enjoyed your video summary, thanks.
Finally a proper Sophie intro to a vid. Totally worth the money.
Thanks for sharing, very informative and as always fun to watch.
Looks really good. I like all the little details you thought of adding like the pulley block, such a great idea.
What a great addition to Polar Seal..Looks great. I dont mind longer videos.
It looks great. Always nice when thing's work out. Good for you 👍
