we see it all

in black and white and painted

all so recently i sit and

wonder what we seem to know how we sure

soon we'll see what it's about

[Music]

is

[Music]

hi all i'm tony this is svg thatcher

we're building a cruising salvo and it's

awesome

just looking around leaves

and a few shades carved in leaves again

that time of year and the sheds got

condensation on it dripping on us

but luckily we're in a position that

we're pretty much sealed up and

you might remember that the goal last

summer was to uh

was to get up painted and sealed and

that was

yeah we achieved that let's be honest

that's done

i'm pleased with that and this winter

is all about getting things working

really you know the

various boat systems um

that's the goal for this one to get

everything working last week you saw me

putting the pumps in for the galley

sinks was

all sorts of systems to be put in

various electrical things various

plumbing

things various engine things

a lot to do do that plus a few deck

fittings some cleats and whatever

and some drains cockpit drains and

things like that still to come

a lot to do this winter if we can get it

all working

maybe we'll be in a position to pull it

out of the shed

at some stage early next year

early next year maybe that would be cool

we'll see and now that's what we're

going for this this

session now in the cold dark time of the

year it's all about

getting systems and things working let's

go and have a look what we've done this

week shall we

yeah been in the engine room um

kind of big if you just come this way

kerry

the port side of the engine room got a

basically a tall

and motor battery locker installed

so the engine room's coming on quite

well now um

starboard side big storage port side

we've got that small bit of storage

that was a major thing this week

[Music]

so

uh

[Applause]

what's your name

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

um

hey

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

ah

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

something i should tell you about um

last year last

summer june time i think i had a batch

of

25 t-shirts made up and

um they are long since sold out and gone

or but i decided to get a new batch made

up and now

we've got new batch t-shirts in stock

there are in the shop

on our website svdepatcher.com

um not quite as many colors as before

but what's new

is we've got some some women's cut

and sizes so some women's t-shirts in

there

and i think we've got one vest left but

um christmas is coming the love of your

life

maybe wants a t-shirt get in there on

the sv to patchy shop

www.svetopatia.com right

ah last thing to mention i think

christmas is coming

but um one issue we've had with the

covid

and coronavirus stuff is is that postage

to the us and australia

outside the eu has been difficult well

now it's opened up again

it's possible to post internationally

but only by sea freight so

should you order a t-shirt and be living

outside the eu

it's probably going to take some four

weeks or so to get there because it's

coming by boat

which is good for a soil sailing channel

isn't it

then the engine room is progressing i

said once before when these things are

tied together they work together

and the cockpit um you might remember i

hadn't

glued the base in because i wanted to be

able to lift it out to work in the

engine room but

i thought now i've got far enough in the

engine room so i've glued the base in

which unfortunately i didn't didn't film

there's a couple of

it's happened to me twice this week i

think where i think i've pressed the

record button on the camera i set the

camera up you know i take all the time

getting it right i think i've pressed

the record button and and

i haven't and yeah that was one of them

i didn't film gluing the bottom in but

then put a fill it round

the corners glassed all the corners

around the bottom

around the uprights it's now ready for a

good sand

and a coat of paint or nine

one big brother

and then cockpit drains to come in a

couple of drains forward there against

that bulkhead

two in the pit itself gonna put a drain

in the diesel filler section over there

so a few drains to come in let me show

you this

i've bought these very lovely little

lovely little brass drains from

top left they're going to be going in

various places

not for the cotton bit they're too small

for the cockpit but other places

cockpit will have a nice big inch and a

half drain two of them in fact so

in total two inch and a half trains

yeah that's where we are there

also got in in here some plumbing

drain plumbing hooked up through to the

through hull

so in here is now complete

and if i move if i just shut that door

and move the vacuum

you'll see over there

you will see not very impressive i know

but

it's a connection this one this comes

from the tanks

this one goes off to the galley sinks

this one goes off to the heads

foreign

just take a little notch out there just

it runs through a bit easier

[Applause]

so

sure

still got the tank in to connect up with

it with a couple of valves there to

select which tank we're drawing out of

still got the pump to go in the heads

it's sat there on the floor waiting to

go in

um as i say i said earlier all sorts of

systems to install

i've got some shelves to come in here

lights in the galley

i think i'm going to put the chart

plotter on the compass impermanently

soon

and then think about wiring them up all

sorts of electrics to go in i've got

inverter battery charger to go in there

i've got a mode to start the battery to

go in there

connections to do still got a lot of

cabin lights to go in

there's a lot to do a lot of systems to

come in but

as i said earlier the goal this winter

is to get that all

hooked up and working let's hope

go for it okay that's it for this week
