Our Entire Mast Has To Come Down Because Of This... (Episode 220)

- We have an extended episode this week as we have so much to get through! First of all we have to remove the entire mast, which we do on our own without a rigger. Then we have to cut out the compression post and get a new one made. This all came about because we actually found a crack in our rigging a few days before we were meant to cross the Pacific Ocean. They say everything happens for a reason....
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. We found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are almost ready to cross the Pacific Ocean!!

Lagoon should be paying you guys for R&D testing/ troubleshooting.
Crappy boat design. : )
But as it turns out the weep holes been clogged was the issue (although a couple of little things would have prevented this) it comes down to maintenance and Parlay has been through alot
I about fell over. Might save them some bad rep in the future.
@@boldpredictionssports They have bad rep already until the end of time :)
@@mattgraham1983 The compression post should've been made out of 316SS, Lagoon just went cheap like they always seem to do.
Dang, you picked the right patreon to come down because he has been such a trooper helping you all, and seems to have some great expertise and experience.
oldie but goodie
Couldn’t agree more!
I thought the same, doesn't mind getting his hands dirty...........😊
Old Guys Rule 👍😎
There is an old mechanic's trick with seized bolts ....... apply heat like you did then rub candle wax on heated fitting/thread, apply more heat. This strangley works better than penetrative oil or just heat alone.
It’s because the paraffin penetrates as it melts ✌️
We used to use heat then trow ice on it. The extreme change in temperature cracks them loose
Remember to use anti-seize when reassembling, use anti-seize on alternater adjusting bolts, starter mounting bolts, engine water thermostat housing bolts, many other things. Do not use anti-seize on internal engine bolts.
It's great to watch a problem identified and repaired in the same episode. Good job Colin and team.
A while ago one of the sailing channels published a video of a factory tour of the factory that makes Leopard cats. I remember one of the leopard managers showing how the boat was built so that any maintenance could be done easily with inspection hatches and panels. Because most of the boats are for charter fleets, being able to quickly turn boats around for repairs increases availability for the fleet. Seems like Lagoon have done the opposite, no way to inspect a bulkhead without tearing apart a cabin. No way to access compression post without ripping out trim that with screws that can’t be accessed. Just seems crazy that such beautiful boats have such obvious design flaws.
Every challenge met with optimism, grace, and courage, Colin.
The positive attitude to face what MUST be done is inspiring.
Kudos to you and the crew.
Your crew seems to work great together. That's a testament to the Captain and 1st Mate.
Well done ! The intrusion of water triggers a WHAT THE F*CK response almost everytime ! Having that bird entering your cabin is very good luck in many cultures ! It seems you have a very willing crew , no slackers which is very very nice ! I'm 65 and watching your videos brings a chuckle to my old heart everytime , THANK YOU !
You never cease to amaze me. I have commented before, I'm a welder, rigger and work with cranes everyday. For you to do what you're doing with just determination is incredible!!!. I wish I had the money to pay for the whole operation
Thanks so much!
I bet many people have said it, but you're doing great work at figuring out how to work around Lagoons builds that made it so people can't rebuild. I just hope with all the work you're putting in the Company takes notice and changes to a more friendly building scheme so that if rebuilds are needed the owners or those being paid to rebuild the boats have a easier time. Hell sometimes it's even Lagoon that has to so I don't see why not.
I don't think they care about repairability. Only lowering costs.
Find yourself about a 4’ piece of steel pipe that you can put on the wrench handle to get more leverage.
Also, you need to tie the wrench off to prevent it from visiting the bottom of the ocean and always tie off your tools when going up the mast.
Yes indeed, that makes the leverage so great you could probably just use one arm to move the wrench.....
This is the yacht I’d want to do a trans pacific crossing in.
Everything has been checked, replaced or reinforced. There are back ups for back ups. The nab and passage planning are diligent too. 👍
I'm SO impressed with how all of you work so well as a team! Such hard work! Well done!
the ladies have been doing some of the tough yards too, we shouldn't forget them......🥰
Colin congratulations to you and the crew. Team work + shout out to Jamie what an awesome right hand man
Jamie would be such a great addition for any work team, never a dull moment
the way those boats are put together is fucking appaling. nice work!
Kia Ora Col, the Kiwi always triumphs when under pressure! You are a great example of Kiwi ingenuity and can do! I’m proud of you lad. Rog
Colin's aggression and mental acuity and the crew's effort will give the mast and standing rigging a big reset. Congratulations Colin Jamie and crew!
I mean this when I say YOU GUYS HAVE MORE PATIENCE than I've seen in my 53 yrs. The impressive kindness you display through the process of repairs warms my heart! I really hope you get to relax very soon. God knows you deserve it! 😥🔥💯❤️
I just love watching Jamie and Colin take charge on these important projects, so many will be benefiting from watching these videos, such great care, time and effort you guys put into ensuring everything is done properly, mean job guys.
Parlay Revival living up to her name again. Colin and this boat where mean to take this journey together. Thanks for taking us along on the ride of a lifetime!!!
What a great crew! Britt and Colin do such a great job with the videos as well! Thank you!
I bet David Shih will probably pop us soon near Parlay to get guidance on fixing his equally rusty compression post. 😂
Lol
5 years ago I lusted after these boats, now that Ive crawled around in several of them Im so glad I didn’t pull the trigger. Good on you for persevering with your project, but let this be a lesson for all of you considering purchasing a used Lagoon.
For the mast step, we also had some leaking. Glad I caught it before my compression post looked like yours. It was caused by two things. The 4 step bolts weren’t properly sealed at the factory, so I took those out and sealed them with 3m 4000 uv. And the weep hole at the base of the mast was blocked by tiny natural debris coming in through the holes at the top of the mast. Probably from birds. I leave thick zip ties pointing up on all my wiring at the mast head, and they don’t land there. I also made some aluminum plates for the top of the mast to cover the holes, and made sure to clean the weep hole every time I washed the boat. No issues after that. Looks like your weep hole was blocked as the water got above the gooseneck part of the conduit inside the mast and then migrated between the conduit and the box beam/post. Nice work buddy. One other issue I had that you may want to check was leaking at the deck to hull joint by the chain plates mid ship. This only appeared after we unstepped. It separated when the rig tension was removed. Had to remove the toe rail to get to the bolts. They were way undersized, so added larger diameter bolts and resealed with 5200.
It’s like Colin’s defense mechanism for dealing with stressful/serious/nerve wrecking issues is positivity; great way to get crap done!
there's 2 choices, soldier on or quit, that's it.
@@seancollins9745 Sorry. I`m a marine. Semper Fi
@@REDMAN298 I know the type, raised a marine… after a while of beating on steel you learn it just makes the steel tougher…
It’s a character trait of a leader!
Nice to see Jamie wearing safety glasses! Everyone should have them on when cutting that metal!
Wow! You have so many contacts in the sailing world Colin, and the fact they all want to help you is a testament to your personality and the way you help and support others, You and the rest of the crew are absolute beasts! WTG!!!
Yes the crappy designs of Lagoon are on full display on this channel. They have to try. I mean c'mon not using SS for boxed in metal at sea is idiotic. Where did they get there ME's? Do they even have any mechanical engineers? Definitely not any from my alma mater!
I love these technical work vids!
Great job.
You and your "crew" never cease to amaze me with what you are able to accomplish when you find a problem or issue. Thanks for all you do.
When using an adjustable wrench you want all the pressure on the fixed jaw not the moveable jaw .
Amazing footage of unstepping the mast! Looks like it was a lot of work that was well needed. 💪🏻🛠🔧
The extended episode was a great reward. Sorry for you're mast troubles, but thank you for the amazing content it provides. One of the best episodes.
Great video! That's a lot of work and a lot of money to replace the rigging. Jaime with the best line of the video, " I think you kind of get off with this kind of stuff." Haha
Colin,
Next time you have to deal with your turnbuckles, I’d recommend spraying them the night before with a penetrating oil. The best one is called Kroil.
Your back will be glad that you did!
The whole time I was watching this all I could think of was how they need a few cans of Aero Kroil. Its heavy used on Offshore oil platforms and I have seen it work wonders on items you would almost think were fused together.
Awesome team 👌💪🦾👍💯 Great workmanship 👌👍💯
Honestly Lagoon should compensate you for all your work and priceless information gained through your experience and knowledge 👍.
I just hope other Lagoon owners check their mast before a catastrophic incidents especially with the cause of the rust issue. I'm shocked by it and glad you rectified the problem, well done 👏 ✔ 👍.
I love these kind of videos but unfortunately they only happened when something isn't right.
You all deserve good dinner and smashing night of entertainment 🎉🏅🥇🏆
✌❤☘ 🌬⛵
Awesome video guys. Coleen is a breath of fresh air. Love her energy. ❤🙌🏼
You never disappoint, love you guys, keep on sailing !⛵️✌️😎✌️
Jamie is very trusting of ya with that torch.
Colin, Jamie.. team. Amazing balance between the beauty , the joy and reward of this lifestyle and the chores required to enjoy it. This journey you are on is amazing!
I can’t get enough of your videos. Absolutely love everything you guys are doing, extremely inspiring ❤
I would ABSOLUTELY kill to come work with you guys for a bit and get out of the norm of life. You and your team are truly an inspiration to so many people. Keep doing what you do man. If I ever get the chance to meet you guys it will be a bucket list item for me. Can't wait to see how the rest of this journey goes!
The thick u-shaped old polyester resin looks like it was only partially seated agains the post "base" (top base). What you're doing is helping tremendously. I suspect your next pullout of the mast will show a foot in much better condition.
G'day Mate Colin, I told you long ago when the hull cracked that the shrouds were set way too tight. Please try hard to accept my advice this time and only tighten them enough to hold the mast straight up and centered when the sails are not up. When you have the sails up it is no big deal for the downwind side shrouds to have some slack in them. A little looseness is far, far, far better than over-tightening them.
PS: Use some Never-seize on the unbuckle screws before you re-assemble it all. Too late now but removing the compression post was not necessary and a total waste of time and money. If you had any doubts about the compression post it would have been fa easier and far less cost and wok to place a 2 foot wide by 8 foot long piece of 3/8" thick stainless steel beneath the mast on the cabin top to spread the load out over a wide area. You could have also replaced the shrouds one at a time without taking down the mast. Another easier option was to leave the original compression post alone and add a new compression post onto each side of it to spread the load out more. Dill a weep hole in the compression post whee it meets the bottom plate to allow water a way to get out.
sensible. I would have fabricated a new post and base in halves that fit over the original and TIG welded them together over the original, then use longer bolts and screws to secure in place. it will ve interesting to see what the new rigger does. funny how in the master and commander books aubrey is always changing the rake of the masts on his boats until he finds the fastest configuration.
Just had my mast replaced on Jeanneau 409. Very similar to Parley Revival’s even though I am a mono hull vs catamaran. It is very interesting to see and compare the process I just went through. Though I wish I had the crew that Colin does! They are top notch!
Good job leading "a Great Crew"!!!!!!
Great stuff and great team work. as an engineer and sailboat owner, I just love these kind of videos.
Your journey is so amazing and insightful to others that would like to start or are on their journey. Very thank full for sharing your experiences and hardships. Hope catamaran builders are taking notice on how it should be done for the future and engineering out issues and risks.
This was fascinating to watch. The amount of wiring and ropes and cables to keep organized - so much respect for Colon’s engineering brain!
Hi, great channel. To prevent the threads from getting stuck, I would recommend molycote p1000 paste. I have good experience with it and the product is very good and has a good durability over time.
Well done team!! Such an incredible team doing absolutely awesome things!!
Good times 🎉rigging should be replaced every 10 years and maybe less in the tropics. This job was surely inevitable. Looking good 🎉
That was such a good one. Colin's attention to detail is always spot on. Great job on the install and the video, all so well done.
I’m in that area of Mexico now and it’s baking crazy hot. I can only imagine how hard that job was for you all. The humidity alone is intense. Wish you were still here and I would come visit. Enjoy the pacific islands.
A a pair of dedicated open-end wrenches with a 5-foot snipe each would give you a much more controllable turnbuckle job, especially if you soaked all thread with Kroil overnight first and started the pull with wrenches 60 degrees apart. I use my nice (precision) crescent wrench only if I have a lot of climbing to do all over the plant that day. A strong open-end of the precise width is a better choice then a crescent - and you can build a lot more torque with it using a snipe.
Try and find some Aero Kroil. A very good marine penetrating oil.
Should have a c way to make a quick disconnect of all your cables going up the mast. During thunderstorms you could disconnect them to protect your electronics
Great episode Colin! We should have fried an egg on the asphalt in the yard to show how hot it was. Lol
Right!
You don’t have to undo the turnbuckles completely. When we unstepped to add the leisure furl boom, we just slackened the turnbuckles and then pulled the pins. Much easier
Rigger at the very end: You just can't imagine anything so simple.
Colin: Then why is it so damn expensive?
because they are so very well made. You van re-use them by chopping off the wire and using a new tapered wedge.
Sunday is the day most of my subscribed channels post and this is now the third one in a row where overwhelm has consumed me!!!! In your case though, I know it comes right because I've seen your Equator crossing and the race with WEsail so, with the aid of a large gin, I can persevere!
Incredible work and video, as always. Great videography, editing, music, and storytelling. Really impressive, Colin. There's nothing you can't do when it comes to these boats. Amazing and inspiring.
Great episode. Jamie makes me laugh. I though he fist bumped himself on the way down the mast. 😂😂
It is so great to see how thoughtful you all are with doing this type of work all the prep to make things easier when it’s go time; satisfying to watch 🤙🏻
You should have went around yesterday and soaked all the turn buckels with PB buster
in the Least WD-40 Come On Men
They were sprayed daily for the previous week with vinegar and water, wd 40 and CLR. As you can see didn’t help much.
I find it quite therapeutic watching your content. As a fitter in a steel works in wales uk 🏴what your doing is great I've always been around boats from around 6 years old. Hat's off to all of you. 🍻🍾🤟🏴
The heah for the mast to sit down on why are they not making out of stainless steel with a 10 mm stainless packer
Very awesome take ya time and let you tubes out as they should be. you have made a master piece. No need to dump all the tubes at 1s or cut shit out. Yall just keep doin what ya doin. This was a great tube. and don't forget the true people who genuine really appreciate yalls work and crews filming will always be here Sunday. happy safe travels yall
Colin introduced himself as a former chief engineer on super yachts. More and more YouRube videos are about maintaining sailboats rather than sailing them. I wish I had his skills. Here in NE, there is a shortage of marine technicians. If you are like me and can't do most of the work yourself, you must wait weeks and sometimes months to get it done.
Put it another way, I am a deckie.
You could always use anti size on your threads when installing, and use a torque wrench with digital readout to get to exact torque specs
For all the reasons you have found, I hate Turn Buckles, even the galvanised ones seize up too
Absolutely gobsmack mind blowing just seeing & IMAGINING loosening those rigging bolts (?) while hanging/dangling high up in the air! OMG! Impressive AF! 🏆💗🙏
And this is why I bare boat charter.. best part is giving the boat back to the charter company.. :)
19:50 I was guessing one thousand at least for the crane. 650 ain't bad. Good work! #BingeWatching
Break Out Another Thousand. Colin you are going to have this boat in a state of perfection that will last long time.
Nice, she'll be safe for your Pacific crossing.
I always learn so much about boat repair and sailing while watching this channel. ❤️ Parlay revival. Keep up the hard work!
That was a hell of a catch!!! She has cat like reflexes!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
It is unbelievable the amount of work you guys have completed in such a short amount of time. Awesome episode guys.
Excellent tutorial! Fantastic job! Cheers 🍻
Great video folks!! Very interesting repair work. It's a simple thought, but would some penetrating oil on the various hardware have helped them break loose more easily?? I have seen the penetrating oil in combination with heat do wonderful things. Anything to break up the adhesion the threads have formed over the years. Maybe a little oil or grease when reinstalling would help for adjustments? Have a great week! 😀
You guys never stop working✌️💜
Great episode Colin and crew .
I have always wondered how the mast was fitted on a sail boat . Great team work guys & girls !
I wish you the best. Going to miss you on Below Deck.
The A Team strikes again!! Captivating episode!🙌🏼
5:09 a little kroil penetrating oil would go a long way to make life easier! Loosening those turnbuckles!
Water running down from top of mast is my bet. Last time I was at top of mast heaps if openings for water to get in and run down, fills base of mast then runs into the support. Good job guys.
Lol just as I post you found it
The water probably ends up on the cables in the mast, directing water into the conduit.
Definitely need some kroil for all that stainless rigging to break torque. Kroil is priceless lol
Fuiture suggestions. My brother is a mechanic and I have done some old car restoration. One technique is to use 2 hammers. Hold one hammer on the side and wack with the other hammer. The will break the corrosion. Heat and cold cycles with maybe a wet rag. Or while hot spray with a penetrating fluid. Not WD40.
I know diddly squat about rigging. Utterly fascinated. Thanks Colin and crew
Colin and Jamie I just want make sure you guys are keeping your mental health a positive part of your journey. It’s sometimes easy to overlook one’s own mental health especially with the demands of your channel and the constant challenges you’re facing. I hope you guys take well needed breaks from all of this for your self wellness and friendship. 🤙🤙🤙
Lol , mental health , lmao
Constant challenges and accomplishments build character and improves mental health. Laziness and procrastination followed by quitting creates depression and mental health issues....
@@texasfrontiersman8245 a well balanced life is what everyone needs to much of anything one thing leads to problems.
EPIC work team.
Bending the accordion tube to prevent water ingress, might make it impossible to add or remove cables once the mast is reinstalled. Better put a cap at the top.
Team Work Makes the Dream Work! Nice job guys! Sweet!
Great job you guys and gals. It takes a great crew to pull that off. Your crew is great and not afraid to pitch in. Expensive it is, but you don't want to lose your mast in the middle of the Pacific in wind and high seas.
You guys are awesome to follow, I look forward to every new episode exploring the world and being super educational concerning sailing, operation and maintenance of a cat, great teamwork keep it up!
in the future when trying to cut something in half that squeezed into a tight spot with no play you cut it on an angle so it slides out without binding
Also, I could listen to Colin pronounce "aluminum" allll day! 😅😅❤
THAT was a very cool episode. Good on ya gang. Looking forward to the next one!
you should drill a hole in the bottom of the new steel piece so if a leak develops in the future you'll be able to know there's a leak and also that any water that gets in to the post will drain out.
