BONUS VIDEO: Making winch bases from a discarded timber from the USS Highland Light (IX-48)
December 27, 2019 by Sailing Triteia | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:01 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Hello Friends,
This is a “Friday Bonus” video! In this episode I show you how I made our new winch bases from a rescued piece of timber from the famous sailing yacht USS Highland Light (IX-48) (R.I.P.)
The large chunk of laminated white oak that had been part of the ship for almost a hundred years was heavy and awkward to work with and just a little too big for my tools. I show you how I dealt with this obstacle and how to “round” a block of wood using a chop saw when you don’t have a big enough bandsaw or its too much for a jigsaw.

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
