Thank you!

Damn does this mean I have to buy another raspberry pi or can the one running octoprint serve double duty?

I’m about to start the sanding process. I did a bit by hand before deciding to pick up a sanding tool this week. Fingers crossed that makes the fiberglass sanding easier as well

It’ll probably be one or two more weekends worth of work, but I think I’m close. Its been an interesting learning experience, and honestly one that I probably couldn’t have done without a 3d printer. I’m very glad I gave it a shot and didn’t dump the boat like I had initially though about

I dig it!

And thank you! I’ll post an update once its done and in the water

Thats for the Hunter 170 next to it.

That makes me wonder if I couldn’t get that canoe sailing though.

It’s hard to tell, but I’ll do some poking around today.

The original hardware was drilled into the wood over the panel and sealed. The rudder had a pin that went through the mount and it’s own hardware. That pin likely bounced out and torqued the whole piece off.

Thank you for the advice!

Thank you sbv!

I wish I could tell you.

My best guess is that the pin bounced out when i was trying to help my wife uncleat the jib and the pressure just ripped the rudder right off. It was just a perfect storm of a large wind gust, waves, and a hardware failure

That’s a good question. I’m pretty sure I can, those I might try to fit a different style since the original set up wasn’t great

If you were me, would you try to use the same wood that’s there or replace the whole structure?

Lol that’s the first time ive seen that

This happened mid sail, but we were fortunate enough to get a tow back to the dock and on a lift

I’m glad it was this and not the mast

No orcas but maybe some very aggressive large mouth bass lol.

Glad to hear it might be repairable though. I spend god knows how long last month repairing hairline cracks in the hull, I’d at least like to do some sailing this season

What is brennivin? To be honest I’d try it again if theres a better way to eat it

Horse. A friend of mine brought some from Iceland and was kind enough to share. Its somewhere between pork and beef to me.

The fermented shark he brought back on the other hand, was the worst thing I have ever tasted. The smell alone cleared the room, and as one chef instructor said, “it smells like dirty pussy”.

We ended up bringing a tent. The mosquitoes are bad where I am so sleeping in the cockpit would’ve been rough lol.

How big is your Hobie? There’s a 16ft that goes out into the Apostles on YouTube and it looks like a blast.

Good luck on your trip!

Slow and doggy, but I’m thinking thats more to do with the wind the the gear. We only had about 3 kts. Its going to be more like 6 with gusts up to 15 so it should be a bit better providing we don’t get stuck in the 28kt gusts predicted for Sunday afternoon.

I’ll bring you a couple. I don’t think one is gonna cut it for as busy as you’ve been the past few days.

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do!

Is there anything that people can do to help if they’re unable assist in troubleshooting?

Thank you! Shitpost was the first one to go. If I never see another bean in my life it will be too soon.
