Free range sailing was my first patreon. I love you guys. And, while I miss the sailing, it is wonderful to see you so fulfilled and happy. Much of how I sail is patterned on you guys. I even mill grains aboard. You two have been an inspiration. Also, please build a boat. That would be so fun. Do a little camp cruising Roger Barnes style.

Good morning Troy: PNW Trailer Sailor here again, was looking at replacing me anchor rode when I stumbled across this fellow PNW Trailer Sailors site that I thought may be of particular interest to you. navigatorjoel.blogspot.com/2023/01/three-nearshore-anchoring-methods-for.html?m=1 A 4.6m Little brother as it were. Thought some of the other information on the site might be useful to you. The anchor setup is unusual but could come in very handy for keeping your hard work off the rocks when you come ashore. At 4000 lbs. It's strong enough but I would consider upgrading the attachment points. Till next time: TimSharkey_LensN2shutter

Hello Troy.. can you please tell me what brand of wind vane steering is the one you were using.. really enjoyed this video.. Regards Anthony (NZ)

My late Uncle's mom had 3 laying houses for chickens on their farm and she sold the eggs as a source of income, each of her coops had a pair of geese in them as protectors of that flock. She claimed to have never lost a laying hen to a predator with those geese watching her flonks. My Uncle had a short haired fox terror who would take on a Holstein bull and full grown Duroc hogs, both boars and sows, but geese got a wide avoidance when they were out in the yard.

What are we building - class size etc?

I loved watching these two people, just like they were family.

I like the glassing part of the build and like you I prefer using a flexible plastic squeegee or roller as much as possible. As you pointed out it is less expensive but I think it also does a better job of wetting out the cloth and waste less time and resin. I also understand the time constraints involved when you are splitting your time between the build, family, especially one that's growing like yours, and other obligations like.........maybe a farm. You've really demonstrated your all around impressive talents to us as has Pascale as well, and I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of others besides me that appreciate that you video all this and share it with us. Boat launch tomorrow..............right ?

Really interesting.

I love watching your shows it's so interesting thank you for everything you do

Thanks for sharing ❤ We had a geese couple and when we got some chickens the male goose started to chase them and shake them so we decided to put the geese in the freezer.

Very Nice info. Happy farming New subscriber here pls. Thankyou and Godbless ❤❤❤❤🙏

Another very helpful video, shared to my friends who are all fixing little ply boats.

Great video!

Great video. I love that she loved and appreciated the time and effort that you put into making the salt box. It was a wonderful moment and super nice craftsmanship. Many blessings to you all!

God, I miss your sailing channel! Thanks for keeping it on UA-cam, though. Periodically, I watch all the episodes again.

excellent tips and description

What abut the tool for compressing compost/soil into seed pods? I bought one and my 'pods' disintegrated at the first drop of water. I think a once a month tour of the whole homestead, covering the animals, paddocks veg patch etc, would be good.

Absolutely Brilliant Series of Boatbuilding videos. I also really enjoy your frugal tips, Thankyou Very Much

gday troy, just started building a pathfinder also, am at template stage so your videos are incredibly well timed, thank you so much. I have studied plans pretty well and am a little concerned the lower log on the outside of the centre case is in the wrong spot on the plans, comparing centre case plans to frame 4 plans, it doesn't seem to line up. the number 240 in between ends of logs on centre case (do you know what this 240 corresponds to? to me the log that picks up the centre thwart seat is correct but the log that picks up the forward bunk decking is questionable. I hope I am wrong and you might be able to set me straight, otherwise if not the earlier you know the better i thought. Also how do I support you financially, very happy to sling you a few bucks for creating this vids, they are awesome and you have taught me a lot already. Thankyou.

Showing that it is not all roses is the best thing you have done. The setbacks are only small bumps, you showed that you can get past them . Love watching your story. Thanks for sharing

Boat is coming along fabulously. Great Job.

I noticed @OnceUponABoat have just started a carbon/foam composite build of a Pathfinder too.

Curious to know what make of drill that is in your drill press. I'm interested in early Australian drills.

Do you need a fishing licence

Very nice Christmas festivities. Lovely lil ornament people and fauna. Y’all are so clever and creative. The tree you picked up is a beauty too. Thanks for sharing your new lil family with us. The gifts you both made to give joy to your family and friends look so professionally prepared, oh, yeah, they were. It’s nice to know that while we in Texas are freezing our hinnies off yall get to walk in sweet summer bird concertos. Looking forward to seeing more simply wonderful times you two share with us. Take care. God bless

when finishing fiberglass use non textured plastic wrap and tape it tight over the area being glassed this will put a very smooth Finnish on the project almost eliminating the need for sanding also you can squeegee the extra resin out from under the film and it will stay in place with a little care on your part you can fair it and maneuver it before it sets instead of sanding it off later be sure to tape only the edges of the film and let the film and tape extend outside the wetted area so it will stick and hold

I like to watch you constructing things. Your commentary is very good to!

I’m new to your channel and it’s very enjoyable

Thanks Troy!

Looks great

great music guys

In stead of using a bristle brush, a silicon basting brush works really well, the resin doesn’t stick to the silicon, and they clean up really easily for use over and over and over.

👍👍❤️

Great explanation, thank you for letting us watch! I`m pretty much where you are with your build (building a Navigator) so you're giving me a sneak peek 🙂 Short question if I may: what thickness are you calculating per layer of fiberglass? My plans call for 60mm CB thickness, so I'd need to trimm down my overall board thickness to accommodate fiberglass thickness.

Always enjoy your vids, thanks. I noticed you didn’t sand the inside of the centreboard case between glassing ( which dryed ) & painting. That saves a lot of sanding if you can just paint over?

Good to see you back on the fibre glass.all the best

I'm still a newb but I found doing a dry run, without the actual epoxy, of the steps I need to take, saved my but a few times.

Nice, neat work! Looking forward to more!

Thanks Troy Very much enjoying this small boat build project.

Also I use white vinegar and metho to clean those particular brushes to great effect and get a dozen uses from them minimum..

I see Peter taught you well in regards Dynema.😁

You not only have a great patience but have enormous tenacity in carrying this job of boat building. Hope you have taken care of air bubbles while dealing with fibre glass. Enjoyed a lot, and learnt a lot from your work. Thanks for sharing.

Is splicing like falling off a bicycle? 😉😁

Pulling a thread on the glass is one of the best tips for a clean cut ever to be passed on...

AS ALWAYS Great to Follow and SEE all you do thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Troy, with the screws, don’t bury them in epoxy. When the CB case is glued up, and cured, remove the screws and then fill. To withdraw the screw, drive it in a quarter turn and then back it out. I do this especially with sacrificial parts like rub rails. When it comes time to replace, just run an electric planner along it without having to worry about bits of metal ruining your blade. When build I try to get as much metal out as possible. The epoxy is stronger than screws, but maybe not bolts. Methylated spirits clean epoxy. I pour the used spirits into an old bottle. The dissolved epoxy settles to the bottom and you have clean, reusable, spirits for next clean.

I am a hobby boatbuilder so understand building bit by bit as time allows :) its actually a fun way to build it spreads cost and effort important when you consider we do it for fun! Always keep that in mind, financially its cheaper to go out and buy a boat for all sorts of reasons. However a boat you built yourself though is so much fun to own and use. That's actually a useful idea with the stain, it will work pretty well I think.

Watching Troy do dynema brought back memories!

I learn something new every episode. Love your “No BS” no crappy music style. Just enjoyable, easy viewing practical and interesting content. Thank you for your efforts producing and sharing with us.

I have no experience in boat building nor did I have any intention of watching this entire video but I did and I enjoyed my time.
