Secret Ingredients

We were talking on the podcast about rope. But not just any rope – especially non-stretchy rope for using in a mechanical context. The hack in question was a bicycle wheel that swapped out normal m…

New Video: Can we safely stretch our 12mm Dyneema DIY Main Mast shrouds & stays?

After Jane did all the splicing for the main mast rigging we had to stretch everything

Another 2 main mast 12mm #dyneema shrouds stretched to 1,500kg (despite strengthening the timber framework we feel this is the safe limit).
Then slight panic when the crane scale showed a low battery and we realised we didn't know where the charger was. Anyway found something from Netgear that seems to be working.
3 more to go (I think)
This morning we had the remaining 12mm #dyneema #rigging for our main mast in various states of completeness. That was so we could record video with some thick dyneema splicing tips we haven't elsewhere.
This evening Jane has finished two of the eyesplices for what's left ie 2 backstays, 2 cap shrouds and forestay. Just past halfway.
A cold North East wind today (over 20kts) so we did a quick trip to our shipping container, then Jane has been #splicing the first #dyneema main mast chainplate loop (much harder splicing 12mm than 9mm).
After some writing for work I've been working on wiring diagrams (learning and using #QElectroTech). I like that I can pretty easily create basic custom elements such as our Batteries, #Victron boxes etc.
