On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle we push along with our projects on our 435 catamaran SV basik as Teal & Emma put on a show (Not willingly ??). Th...

hey guys welcome back to SB basic we
have not gotten our bits back from our
spar manufacturers so we're gonna switch
gears a little bit and do something
since the Sun is out we're gonna go and
take our spinnaker and do an inspection
on that to see what it looks like at
this point you know even though we're
waiting on on those estimates it doesn't
mean we can't work on other things and
it's getting really exciting I I for one
am and it's just learning the whole
process so let's go check it out and see
what our spinnaker looks like
[Music]
[Music]
got it I got it much lighter than the
main yeah oh it's gonna feel good lay
this out it's actually a pretty it's a
pretty spinnaker it actually our
original boat was named flying fish so
this actually has flying fish on it it
has a nice graphic it'll be interesting
to see the condition I'm sure it's fine
it might have a little bit of mold on it
from being a storage for years well
we'll see it's a good starter but I want
to get some hard measurements off this
as well it's just nice that we have all
the measurements off all our sails
because this spinnaker needs a sock
that'll be one thing yes we don't have a
sock anymore I can't find it well I
think I think that sock had all right
it's days it's done so it'd be nice to
get a new sock for the spinnaker so we
can fly it a little easier so let's go
lay this out and see what she looks like
[Music]
boy it only feels like about three or
four not wind out here but that's such a
light wind sail that just wanted to pick
up and walk on us we were able to mark
out on the ground now we can get some
measurements
I guess they left me to bring all this
back
[Music]
okay just like that
the clouds rolled in the wind picked up
and a rain squall went by that's okay
though we got our measurements off that
sail and it is a massive sail with a ton
of sail area it's a great one to have in
our arsenal
actually I don't we didn't get any good
shots of it while we were up there but I
do have some older photos of it flying
on this boat let's check those out while
we go over some of these measurements
okay this sale is massive
looking at this basic measurements that
we could get we measured from the head
down to the tack and clue 52 feet that's
about fifteen point eight five meters
between the tack and clue thirty-five
feet ten point six seven meters this is
going to be a sale that we use in ultra
light conditions but it is going to
scoop that wind you know how you guys
wonder or you guys joke that teal is not
humid because of all his talents and
what is he good at well I'm gonna let
you guys in on a little secret
he'll is good at a lot of things singing
is not one of them and yet he still
tries to every night in the shower but
the sweet thing about it is is that Emma
likes to chime in when he sings so it's
become a ritual for them that they do
every night I don't think this is gonna
last for very much longer because Emma's
entering teenage years and you know
we're not that cool anymore after that
so let's hope they do not notice
[Music]
[Music]
we are so gonna get her back
ooh I'm scared vengeance is a dish best
served cold real cold
[Music]
she better sleep with one eye open
rookies
thank you very much I'll be here all
week so I'm sitting here waiting for
teal earlier I had ordered for us a
spool of Durrell on line that is made
perfect for halyards and winches and
clutches it is a low stretch high
strength line that's perfect for the
application that we need we're going to
just kind of start with our our main
halyard and our main sheet and running
back stays in our traveler booth
normally you would use different colors
for every different application in this
circumstances because they're so far
apart I don't think that it's necessary
obviously when we get to our jib in our
furling system then yes I like that
distinction so it's easy to grab it's
easy to give Emma some some direction
but for now these are so far apart it's
not going to make a big difference and
the savings that we have buying the
school versus by foot it's it's it makes
it much worthwhile and then you know
we're trying to also buy it local
delivery is here in this area and you
know we can find assure ease like we
normally do and have them ship it in but
because we want to support local
business
try to order as much as we can from them
the only problem with that is is that
they do more I guess
they cater more to the commercial and
industrial aspects of boating so they
don't have a lot in regards for sale of
gear so we're gonna do what we can in
the meantime I want to make sure that
teal is breakers mask we have not gotten
off the boat much since this quarantine
is damn quarter so if we tried to limit
how often we get off the boat teal is
going there by himself and he's messed
up and he's wearing his gloves as a
matter of fact I made those masks for as
using the two that we come on board and
that was just leftover material from
conferences baby blanket and elastic
from headbands that I even found a way
to contour the nose area using plastic
from my coffee bags which I think they
look pretty good and I made two for each
of us
so that we can wash it between any time
you go out so
time to do some slicing kill and I know
how to splice but Emily doesn't so I
think this is a good teaching moment for
her because I for one want to plot this
job off and let her take over she loved
tie knots so what's one more thing to
add to her resume
[Music]
[Music]
so Till's on his way he's just coming
down the dock now I don't know why he's
complaining it's not that heavy
probably 150 pounds right and he only
had to go half a mile
[Music]
I think I need an Advil it's not so bad
[Music]
Oh
okay there we go our first pool oh don't
watch this process let's make it in the
blood back in my arm well I was trying
to get some of these lines led today
got that spool in but this rain it's
just a misty rain today it's kind of
miserable out here but I am gonna finish
one quick project Lin's been making
these bags I told her if she makes them
I'll do the hardware and get him
installed and she made one last week I'm
gonna try to crank that one out real
quick cuz she's got more that she's
making right now she's got a big project
going on inside there I want to make
sure I'm staying caught up with her
[Music]
[Music]
that's not going anywhere and there we
go now see if the bag fits
[Music]
yeah it's gonna work out nicely
[Music]
teal is almost done putting up by sale
bag outside and so I decided to make
another thing that's going to address a
problem that has been it's a pet peeve
of mine I'll be honest because this area
has been always a catch-all for us
whether it's shoes wet towels from
outside Till's tools whatever it is that
he's working on outside in the cockpit
or anything he ends up setting it right
here in the entry area and just leaves
it there so it's always cluttered with
just junk and we have tons of jackets
and bags and hats
it just it drives me crazy I like to
have everything kind of clean and clear
you know because this is where we go in
and out all the time so I made an
another bag that's going to address the
the shoe situation and hopefully because
it's clearer and cleaner than teal won't
be studying something like this this is
the spool line that we just purchased
and because it started raining teal just
set it in here gonna be an amber well we
have another project I'm done with the
bag so it's gonna be done I was really
struggling on what to do in this area to
handle our shoe situation and I kicked
around some ideas and none of them
really kind of jived because I did want
a shelf system because that would again
tie in and take away more space in the
entry area plus knowing us somebody was
going to trip over it or get hurt so
after I made that bag last week Emma did
something that was kind of neat she put
her shoes in it saying that this is
perfect for her so it just kind of like
ding-ding-ding and I made a bag that was
three times larger with slots and that
will go across the entire span of our
bullhooks
and be able to handle all of our shoes
Plus this baby
motivation Purtill not to put something
in the entryway
I finished my school work early so my
mom and I are gonna do a sip in paint
and my dad is gonna put the bag up
[Music]
[Music]
well this project is complete and I have
to hand it to Lin I think this is a
great idea kept the shoes off the ground
cleaned up this area and it looks pretty
sharp I think she did a great job on
this bag they're done with their sip and
paint how did you guys we had a lot of
fun it was something different for the
both of us I actually like the SIP and
paints that I used to do like this is an
paint not but I'm good at it but Emma
always does her digital art wood yeah
she's really good at and her sketches so
this was new for us and it's just nice
to just do something together and
different yeah so you had fun yes he
wants to make this a weekly event and I
said she can do that or we can do that
as long as we have enough supplies and
supplies meaning wine no we always have
wine the canvases well let's see I'm
killing okay so ours are polar opposites
because mine apparently is dark and
Emma's is bright and cheery yeah no no
judgment but I always wanted to see the
Northern Lights the Northern Lights
aurora borealis yes hey not too close
yeah okay it's a whole day okay it looks
really good for a far but up close it's
a hot mess but Emma's was good I really
like her I really like yours is Austin
the simplicity of it just
makes it even more special well nice job
