welcome to saving vessel secret this is a bonus piece I got a little problem I'm going to show
it to you and you come up with a solution for me I have a solution already but I'm not going
to tell you what it is because I want to see yours I don't want to you know influence you
it's a cold wet windy rainy day here it's blowing 15 now it's gonna get up to over 30 tonight all
right it's a little excitement last night there's a guy parked in front of me anchored and uh he it
was windy last night too and he blew off his anchor I didn't even I was watching a movie
and uh I could hear shouting yeah he came off his anchor and it's like dead upwind of me but he got
it under control and beat it around the corner so um I'm out here by myself again okay the
rain's lit up a little bit so I'm hoping it'll do this while I'm out here sorry for the wind noise
and of course it's not going to do it now you know that how you're slapping against
the Mast is that noise but it's not a Haggard the hazards are tightened up there you hear it
so when we rock now what I have is there's a PVC conduit that comes down inside of this 16 inch
diameter pipe and that conduit that was broken loose at the bottom so I glued it well at first
it was broken loose about I'll just take it out so I tried breaking it loose at the top and I
couldn't so I glued it in at the bottom so you know that was good for a while and now I think
it's broken loose at the top uh but anyway it makes a bang noise in there so I need a
way of fixing that conduit into the mask I'm not going to remove it because that would be a real
pain and it's kind of nice to have because the cables go down through the conduit and without
the conduit the cables would have that you know 15 and a half inches of room to slap around in there
and I don't want to listen to them so I think the conduit's the way but I got to get that conduit
affixed to this pipe so it doesn't rattle around all right let me go down and show you underneath
what there heard it again underneath what it looks like oh so let's go down below
[Music]
okay so this is our main Mast this is the base of the main mask this is the opening to it nice Echo
this opening is about eight inches across the Mast remember is 16. if
I reach in there I can touch the bottom of the conduit and it is oh there's lots
of construction adhesive on there and it is fixed tightly you can hear it
I'm not sure if that's the cable inside of the PVC now see that's a PVC conduit's flapping around up
there somewhere so it made me broker loose at the top and if it is broken off the top and that's why
it's making the noise I can glue it on back up there I just go up to the top of the mass now at
the top you don't have an eight inch opening you have it tapers down to nine inches the last 25
feet going up is tapered so it's 52 feet all all together last 25 feet tapered nine inch opening
at the top but then it has you know it's got the mass and lights and all the other crap up there
and the the Mast head has a four inch pipe going across it so it's nine inches with a four inch
pipe going across it so you got like three inches on both sides of that that pipe it's actually not
a pipe it's more like a channel because the the lines come up goes with sheaves across and then
back down the other side of the Mast so a lot of obstructions up there not a lot of room to get in
um so that's the problem the solution is uh yours to to intend with what do I do to affix that I
said oh it's an inch and a I think it's an inch and a corner maybe an inch and a half PVC pipe
I think it's an inch and a quarter uh PVC pipe that's run up this just schedule 40 all the way
up and oh and you can't cut big holes in that because you weaken it and you you can you can
block the whole thing off but it's better if it has some ventilation up through it so keep those
constraints in mind and that's what the top looks like see it's got an extension pipe on there then
it's got a mast head on there and it's those lines that go across on one side to the other and they
block off a lot of that nine inch opening up there it has a flat lid that's bolted to it that's just
two bolts but you know you take that off and then you can see where the halyards go across and all
that stuff that's in there okay that's easier shot orange let me know your answers [Music]
