00:00Guys, you see how weird our sailboat looks and it's looked weird for the last like two and a half

00:06years

00:09We lost our mast already

00:13We're gonna start by opening up our new boom

00:18Our mast is here

00:28Today is the day that it's gonna stop looking weird because we're gonna be putting our mast up today

00:32The crane's gonna arrive in about an hour

00:34We have a little bit more prep work to do before we can put it up and then and then

00:38it was gonna be a sailboat again

00:48Last night we were burning the midnight oil to finish up all the electrical and make sure everything was ready

00:53for this morning

00:54So we've got all the new wires run down through the mast

00:57We've got the spreader lights hooked up. We tested all the lights

01:00And they all work not much left to do we have to double check the rig once the mast goes

01:06up. We'll be trimming the rig

01:08Suaging the ends and then putting the turnbuckles on but we have to do all that with a mast up

01:12Because it's a new mast and so we have no idea the exact measurements that the rig needs to be

01:17So that's why the guys from John Master here so that they can make sure that it's properly set up

01:23tuned adjusted and secured

01:26So that we can go sailing someday soon

01:30It's exciting. You guys want a tour?

01:33So starting at the top we have our wind transducer. It's invisible

01:38It's a new technology. It works very well. It's wireless. It's waterproof

01:41It takes zero electricity. No, we this is the base for it

01:44It sticks out off the front tells us the wind speed and direction

01:47But we took it off for the hoist so that it doesn't accidentally smack on the crane line and break

01:53So that goes there anchor lights here

01:56Back here is the classic Windex that tells us an analog version of wind direction and

02:02We built a little a little light for it 3d printed a little base

02:06Put a little red led in there so it shines up at the Windex so when we're sailing at night

02:11We can look up and see it, which is awesome

02:14We've got all the plugs for those hidden underneath the side

02:17So they're out of the way for chafe and light and uv and rain and easy to disconnect

02:24So if we need to like take the anchor light off, we can just pop it off pull the plug

02:28out take it down

02:30VHF antennas on the side as well. Just like a classic stainless steel whip pretty

02:36Basic because there's nothing fancy about a VHF antenna and on this side. We have this little

02:41This little fluffy

02:43It's a little fluffy thing

02:45Which has something to do with lightning and we are making a lightning protection video and we will get into

02:49that later

02:49But not today underneath that. We've got all the rigging this

02:54Mast is set up quite a bit differently than our old one because we are having

03:00Four head sails

03:01So up here at the top, we've got a halyard for the spinnaker our code zero

03:06Which we had before and our spare halyard and then this giant fixture is where the four stay is going

03:11to be attached

03:13And underneath that is going to be our halyard for our

03:16larger

03:17genoa

03:19Underneath that is going to be our solent stay

03:21Underneath that's going to be the halyard for our solent rigs

03:24We're going to have two roller furthers on the bow so we can just have

03:27A much larger assortment of head sails rigged and ready to fly at any time, which is very exciting

03:33And then there's a whole bunch of nothing until we get down to the spreaders

03:38These are for our lazy jacks

03:41And then radar is installed

03:46And then underneath we've got our steaming light and our four deck light also on a

03:51Deutsch plug so that we can just pop this whole assembly off if we need to

03:55Lights tend to fail

03:57A lot quicker than wires do so this light's also pretty cool because we can just like

04:02Take it off take it down

04:05Put it back on

04:07If it ever dies we can just pop out a new one

04:10And then last night I finished wiring up our spreader lights

04:13These are pretty cool

04:14They are by lumatec which most of our lights are by lumatec

04:17And these ones have red and white and they're both dimming

04:20So at night we can have like a nice subtle dim red light or a bright red light

04:25So we don't lose our night vision or we can go full daylight mode if we want to

04:30Also unplug so we can pop those off if we need to

04:33And that's wired up and down through the mast here

04:37These giant chunks of stainless steel are for our lower shrouds

04:41This is the lower forward this is the lower aft

04:43This is I think six millimeter stainless and I think what we had before was like 1.5

04:48So it's a solid three times stronger plus it's got two bolts going through the mast instead of just one

04:54So it's got super super strength and then these two

04:58Sheaves and these two fair leads are for our two

05:02Downwind poles so because we have two headsails now if when we're going downwind

05:06We can just wing on wing our two headsails and not need to worry about a spinnaker

05:09These are the tracks for our downwind poles so we can store them on the mast

05:13And they're already rigged so we can slide the cars up and down and adjust the height

05:18And then we've got all of our halyard

05:20Exits for the main the spinnaker the genoa the spare the jib the storm jib

05:28The topping lifts for the two poles and then we've got winch bases down here because we're still going to

05:35have mast winches for the

05:37Spinnaker halyard genoa halyard jib halyard storm jib halyard

05:42So we'll probably use a spare halyard or a topping lift for that and then this is our new gooseneck

05:49It's beautiful. This is where the boom is going to get attached and it is

05:55Machined aluminum which is pretty cool

05:56One of the reasons why we like the work they do at john mass because they do a lot of

06:00machining of their own aluminum parts

06:01Rather than casting them. So this is a lot stronger boom's going to get attached here

06:06And then we've got looks like the cutout for where we can put our sail slugs in just above it

06:11Which is awesome. And then down here is a matching one for the boom vang

06:16Which we're now going to have a hydraulic boom vang which makes me super happy

06:19And then just underneath it is where our boat deck is going to be

06:24It looks weird when it's laying down

06:27But it'll all make a lot more sense once it goes up. I think we also have this other stay

06:31down the side of the mast here

06:33That you can see it's tight and um

06:37That's a secret

06:38We'll tell you later. Why is it a secret?

06:40Because it's cool and I want to build suspense

06:44Okay, if you guys can guess what this is for it's attached just below our lower shrouds right here above

06:50the gooseneck for the boom

06:51If you can guess what this is

06:53I'll give you a cookie. We also have two conduits

06:57Riveted to the inside of the mast one going all the way to the mast head and one going up

07:01to just below the spreaders

07:02Which is amazing

07:04Previously we didn't and then in puerto rico we tried to install a conduit in the mast while the mast

07:11was up

07:11And that was exciting it did help but it wasn't great

07:14But now we have like an officially factory installed conduit in the mast and they're quite large

07:18And it makes running wires so easy. We were able to wire the entire mast yesterday even though it took

07:24us

07:2519 hours then all the wires come out here

07:27um

07:28And then we're gonna build all the plugs and connectors for that once the mast is installed but

07:32That's that's the whole mast the guys from john master coming back soon so we can like finish rigging it

07:36and make sure everything's good, but

07:38i'm excited

07:40Oh, we're gonna put our furlers up once the mast is up too

07:57This is our new boom um we are gonna have mid boom main sheeting

08:02So this thing has been beefed up from what we had before because it's taking all those main sheet loads

08:08right in the middle rather than on the end

08:10We're also gonna have all of our reefing lines run internally and we finally have an outhaul

08:17So we can control the lower section of our sail all very exciting things

08:22We also have a hydraulic boom kicker this time. So we're not going to need a topping lift on the

08:26back of the boom

08:27This thing's a beast. It's gonna look so good up on umma

08:45All right, we're ready to put the thing up it's a bit of a circus, but I think it's gonna

08:51go smooth

08:53I think we should put a line around at least one of the ends so we can control it

09:00This is it guys it is

09:02Finally happening after all these years working on the boat

09:07It really feels like we're getting so much closer to being out there again

09:11And you guys can understand how big of a moment and how massive of a valve stone this is for

09:17us

09:17But we only get to do this once

09:20So while Dan and the guys from from mass are going to focus on getting this giant thing onto the

09:26boat

09:27My job is to make sure that you guys get to experience it with us

09:30So I have all the cameras and handheld cameras the gopros the phones the 360s

09:36I have them all over the place on the boat on the mast on the train

09:40And then I am not missing this shot because

09:44This is huge and umma is finally becoming a sailboat again today

09:48So

26:57and i am so happy guys it's every time that i look at our boat and our mast now i

27:03just i'm almost in

27:05tears and i'm so excited to be out there because we know that we have the best that will take

27:10our

27:11boat and us to the edge of the world one day so on that note we have a few more

27:17steps before we can

27:18be in the water and one of the important ones is to finally be able to measure for sails so

27:24we're

27:48going

28:16it's the same
