Sailboat Chainplate fabrication START to FINISH. Our LAST major BOAT REPAIR! | Log 14

Log 14 | With a stress crack in our original forestay chainplate, we were determined to have a new one fabricated to replace it. And of course, the new one needed to be bigger & stronger! We've been trying to get this boat project completed since day one of purchasing our sailboat.. and it's finally done! The original chainplate was thought to be either 304 or 308 stainless and only 1/4" thick, so we replaced it with 1/2" 316 stainless steel. And oh wow is it shiny!! Thank you Daanco Welding for coming to our rescue with this one! 🍻To keep the videos coming & help us continue our adventures, show your support here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sailingseak 📷Follow along on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sv.seapearl Chapters: 00:00 Start 01:37 Dismantling Sea Pearl(again) 05:29 Out with the old 07:05 Ed burning his hand 08:23 Bending the steel 09:35 Test fit 10:39 Sanding & polishing 11:40 Installation 12:40 Shiny & new! _____________________________________________________________________ #sailing #sailboat #boatrepairs
