Hi guys 

This week's video went live as soon as it was uploaded. This was yet another bug or unannounced change on YouTube's behalf. I can't put into words how frustrating it can be to upload videos to YouTube. They again and again change or eliminate features without any information/warning. Another great example is the missing subtitles. In the last three weeks, I've received many messages saying that subtitles are no longer available on my videos. Long behold, I google it, and there are plenty of other people with the same issues. The situation becomes even more frustrating when I have to reply to angry/upset people who think it's a decision I've made (to take away the subtitles). Good thing I wasn't planning on uploading a video next week - I need a break from YouTube, not you guys - just YOUTUBE. 

I'll post a few updates here on Patreon to keep you guys in the loop :) The next week is just going to be a bunch of small stuff, but it might be interesting to some :)

I hope you've had a fantastic weekend :) Thank you for your support! stay safe :)

Sail Life - new headstay, zinc anode and ground plate - DIY sailboat project

In this week's video, I replace the headstay, service an older Furlex unite, and install a zinc anode and a ground plate. Sometimes I really dislike YouTube! For whatever reason, this video went live as soon as it was done uploading (usually the video stays private until I choose to publish it). This means I didn't have time to write the message in the description for those of you looking for subtitles. It also meant I didn't have time to make a thumbnail or fill out any of the meta-information. No doubt this will hurt the video in terms of views. For those of you looking for subtitles: I know subtitles have been missing from the last 3 to 4 videos. Please understand that this is not my decision or something I've altered. Subtitles have always been automatically generated by YouTube. For whatever reason, they have stopped doing that. There are a lot of forum posts from people encountering the same issue. I'm sorry but this is not something I can fix on my end. *** Links *** Sail Life Shop: (Items are shipped from the US!) https://saillifeshop.com/ Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Instagram: http://instagram.com/madsdahlke Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter Donations for the sandpaper fund: https://www.paypal.me/saillife

Mads I have a 1988 sloop with a Selden mast. The mainsail attaches to lugs that ride up and down an internal channel in the mast. This channel was lined top to bottom with a plastic-y channel liner. If your mast has a plastic channel you should replace it with a Tides Marine Strong Track system. My Selden channel sleeve liner became brittle and one fine day as the mainsail was hoisted the sleeve liner shattered into hundreds of shards and jammed the mainsail slugs in the channel. Getting the partially raised mainsail down took quite some time. The new track system allows the slides to fly up and down practically friction free. Hopefully your 80’s vintage Selden mast used a different track design than mine.

Good idea taking the production break Mads, I can’t wait to see her splash but attention to detail is the top priority before she floats again. I’ve been waiting for this video since May 2018 when I found you on YouTube.
