DSA Dazcat 1500 Build – Part 2 | Popping the Moulds After months of meticulous preparation (see Part 1 of the build series), the big moment has finally arrived: popping the moulds! This stage is one of the most nerve-wracking parts of the build. The team must carefully, and sometimes what appears to be a little brutally, release the moulds from the plugs. It’s the ultimate test of whether all that shaping, filling, fairing, laminating, and finishing has truly paid off. Join the crew at the Multihull Centre in Cornwall as they hold their breath and set the moulds free, revealing the forms that will shape the DSA Dazcat 1500. With Scott Bader’s resins and epoxies at the core of the build, strength and precision are key. This is where months of planning and hard graft finally show their worth. In this episode you’ll see: • The intense process of releasing moulds from plugs • Why this step is both nail-biting and exhilarating • Reactions from the build team as the results are revealed • Another milestone in creating an accessible, high-performance Dazcat The Disabled Sailors Association (DSA) has already given over 50,000 people the chance to experience the freedom of sailing. With the Dazcat 1500, that mission is about to set sail into the future. #DSADazcat1500 #AccessibleSailing #ScottBader #dazcat #boatbuilding #cornwall

The Allen factory, based in Southminster, Essex in the UK, makes many of the deck hardware and fittings that we use in our sailing, be that on dinghies or keelboats. The team are constantly innovating - designing new products, trying out cutting-edge manufacturing techniques - all with the aim of making our time on the water more enjoyable. On my tour around the factory with Ben Harden I met a passionate and dedicated workforce using a range of machinery, from the traditional to the latest in CNC machining and 3D printing. The team also support grass roots sailing, and I took a look at how they were helping Otter Week at nearby Burnham-on-Crouch. There were a few surprises along the way as well. For example, did you know that Allen made masts? They also work with the stuntman industry! Enjoy this look around, seeing how some very familiar fittings are produced, as well as some you may not have seen. #sailing #manufacturing #rigging #yachting

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, host Bela Musits continues his sailing journey with fellow sailor and boat owner Mike Malekoff aboard Mike’s Hunter 44 Deck Salon. Recorded during their trip from Brunswick, Georgia to Burlington, Vermont, this conversation captures the unique challenges and experiences of sailing the Hudson River and preparing for entry into Lake Champlain. Their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York sets the stage for one of the most important milestones of the voyage—taking down the mast. While Bela jokingly describes the marina as “modern, clean, spit-and-span” with a healthy dose of sarcasm, the real reason for the stop is all business. The marina is known for its crane services, making it one of the few places along the Hudson where cruisers can safely unstep a mast before entering the Erie or Champlain Canal. Mike explains why this is necessary: the bridge clearances to Lake Champlain are very restricted at 17 feet. This leaves sailors and many power boaters no choice but to take the mast down or lower their “air draft”. Bela and Mike talk through this process, sharing insights about preparation, marina logistics, and the sometimes nerve-wracking reality of lowering such a large spar from a cruising sailboat. Listeners get a firsthand account of what it’s like to deal with this challenge—how boaters coordinate with marina staff, handle rigging, and secure the mast for safe travel. For those planning their own journeys up the Hudson River or through the Champlain or Erie Canal system, this episode provides valuable perspective and practical tips. Beyond the technical side, Bela and Mike reflect on the journey itself. Sailing from Georgia all the way north has already provided them with countless stories, but entering Catskill represents a turning point. It’s a reminder that cruising isn’t just about open-water sailing; it’s also about adapting to inland waterways, marinas, and infrastructure. The camaraderie between sailors, the quirks of small-town stops, and the satisfaction of tackling each obstacle together all shine through in this conversation. For sailing enthusiasts, especially those curious about the Hudson River, Catskill marinas, mast stepping and unstepping, or cruising toward Lake Champlain, this episode is a must-listen. Bela and Mike’s humor and storytelling make the technical aspects approachable, while their real-world experiences highlight the rewards and challenges of long-distance cruising on the East Coast. Whether you’re planning your own trip up the Hudson, dreaming of exploring Lake Champlain by sailboat, or just love hearing about the realities of life aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, you’ll find both inspiration and practical knowledge here. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Why sailors must take down their mast before entering the Champlain Canal. The role of Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, NY, for mast services. Insights into bridge clearances and challenges of inland waterways. Tips for preparing your sailboat and working with marina crews. Reflections on the journey from Georgia to Vermont aboard a Hunter 44. Humor, camaraderie, and lessons learned along the Hudson River. Join Bela and Mike as they share another chapter in their adventure sailing and cruising the East Coast. Their blend of technical insight, storytelling, and humor makes this episode not just informative but thoroughly entertaining.
