MOVING THE DODGER BY TRAVEL LIFT! - SAILING FOLLOWTHEBOAT Ep115
July 05, 2018 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:23 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
As the haul-out travel lift came lumbering towards us, it was a lesson in hope, guts and teamwork. Subscribe for more sailing videos: https://ftbyoutube.page.link/subscribe
The rain and wind howled round the yard, swinging our shiny dodger from the haul-out crane a little more than anyone liked, while Millie and Liz hid below listening to seven men shouting in two languages outside.
After some detective work and a chat with Oyster, we discovered that the material used for our log bearing was Tufnol®. We’ve discovered it will be easier to source/replace using Torlon®, which we’ll make to size here in the marina.
The stainless team got to work on the davits, adding a frame for the new solar panel waiting for us in Pangkor. They are strengthening the original system in preparation for the foul conditions we are likely to encounter during the forthcoming easterly ocean crossing.

followtheboat
We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
