You got Walter Schulz to chat? Incredible! Thank you. Love the philosophy behind Shannon boats! :) You and the Captain have made me confident enough to consider older boats with solid glass and educated me enough to know that if it takes another year, before I can afford a Shannon or similar, then that's what I'll do. I could listen to this man talk for hours. Truly the Boating Buddha ;) If he'd be prepared to sit in the warmth, suitably lubricated and chat with you and the Captain, I reckon that you could sell seats for that one! Fair play to you Ran-day. You took everything he said with good grace. But then, not to have done so, would've been unforgivable ;) Hope the Captain's okay.

Ran-Day. How wonderful this episode is. Walter is an absolute treasure. Salty. Command of colorful language in an original thinker. An artist. A philosopher. Now I dream of sailing in the dark, away from powerboats watching meteor showers. In addition, he gave you such helpful insights into your boat and the priority of fixing them. I laughed but was horrified. Hiroshima. Last Gasp. All those through hulls that might be okay but the stuffing box….god was with you out on the open water leaking gallons into your bilge. this was maybe the best episode you have done and least expected. I hope you continue with all the content you have been making with our Captain and the friends you are meeting while becoming a seasoned sailor. Thank you.

Hello Ran-day: being a marine engineer for several decades I personally prefer traditional shaft logs with stuffing boxes. Very reliable, easy to service, cheap to maintain, and very safe. You can work on a stuffing box even when at sea. Dripless seals are great for keeping bilges dry; however they are very expensive to maintain. If you are in the Bahamas for example, parts will be difficult to locate. They are expensive and troublesome to replace every 5-6 years.

What a wonderfully down to earth and amazing man. Thank you for doing this interview Ran-Day with a man who has contributed so much to yachting who like me would more than likely prefer I said Boating. I agree with him about night sailing even though I've never been blessed with doing it but that's one of the main reasons I want to sail. To be able to do a crossing or get offshore far enough that there's no or very little artificial light in the night sky as I imagine that's as close as a man can get to seeing God's truly wonderous creation aside from looking into the eyes of their first child. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

This was truly an awesome episode! Thank you Walter for taking the time to talk with Randy and the rest of us. I learned so much from this viewing. It makes me more comfortable/confident to someday seriously consider owning a sailboat. It would be an eye opener if you showed the project Post It Notes and talked about the reasons behind each of them. Walt crystalized critical issues vs the priority life threatening issues. I hope you moved the propane tanks to a more secure area away from the boat until the storage compartment is up to standard. So far your channel has taught me to look out for a Bird’s Nest of electrical wiring, a worn out Quadrant assembly, how to inspect cables, and now leaks below the deck level, sizings for a holding tank, the dripping Stuffing Box, proactive maintainable on the shaft assembly, and the proper set up for propane tanks. Keep up the great work!

Freeze plugs are needed for sand casting, they are very easily replaced. A vacuum gauge on the fuel system shows the condition of the filters, it prevents engine failure. Another item that costs a few dollars and saves hundreds Dripless shaft seals sound good, but they fail “catastrophically” a regular flax seal costs $2 and is easy to replace Never use dripless “The answer to a problem no one was having” Very well said

Probably one of the BEST interviews I have ever seen. Walter is such a character and most informative and educational shipwright I have come across. Honestly, somone needs to write a book or make a movie with his character in it. I really enjoyed this episode and felt like I was just hanging out with a legend and getting free advice that most would charge thousands to get. I agree with others that I could spend hours listening to Walter give advice and tell stories. I hope you get a chance to spend more time with him and perhaps have a live Q&A. I think its imperative we preserve all his knowledge for current and future generations. Walter even made sailing at night seem like a spiritual experience that should be embraced versus a scary and nervous time of wondering what you are going to hit. I almost feel like I want to sail at night more than during the day now, lol. Thank you Ran-day for all your time, patience and hard work in putting together this archive of sailing information. Just a wonderful and well done production all around. Cant wait to see more episodes like this with other legends of the sea!

First and foremost what a fantastic guest and interview to comment though. The purpose of a freeze plug is when they’re manufacturing the engine block there are sand cores inside the mold of the engine block that must be broken down and taken out as space holders for your water jackets as will as oil passages they hold the spaces in the casting the molten material flows around these sand cores and is removed and some are actually machine I would replace them with bronze freeze plugs Your tanks that are 5052 aluminum are OK but if ever replaced you should go to a 6068 marine grade aluminum you could find this in the Coast Guard specs for vessels for hire. It’s just a better product. It does cost a little more than 5052 but once again, what a fantastic guest , you and the captain do an awesome job say hi to Sea dog

I am selling everything at 60 to go sailing everywhere but have no sailing experience. My common sense solution is to go to sailing school before shopping for a boat. Fix and prepare that boat and do simple sailing for a few years before ever considering an ocean passage. Me and the Caribbean will become good friends I hope. Cheers from Florida and 40 years salt water fishing has given me a clue to some common sense on the water as did 3 Navy crossings to the Mediterranean while in the Marine Corps.

Hey Randay, we live in Bellingham Washington and if we don't fiberglass over the bolts on the rubrail or toe rail they always sweat and drip. You can put a big blob of caulk over them to stop the sweating. You need at least 1/4 inch thick all around each bolt and caulked tight to the whole. I take a calking gun and just run a few circles around each bolt and make a nice mountain lol. Any metal that penetrates from inside a boat to outside needs to be insulated in order not to sweat. At least here in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Randy, that was your best episode yet! My search for a Shannon begins now! I also enjoy sailing in the dark. It’s like sailing into the unknown.

I love it, it's a bomb! Yup! Klinging to a door! Love it. He doesn't mince words and sets the priority straight. What needs fixin, what's a have to do, would like to do, and what you better do now or end up like leonardo clinging to a door. Straight answers and not looking for a buck so much as a keeping you safe and conducive to a good snuggle. Love this guy. You fix those 3 things and u have it made. A little weep, ya you'll be weeping when your cigar pit blows the back of the boat off. Well at least its fixable with a seal and a dog... who knew...dog.

Walter's the best! He's the Click and Clack of boats. A pleasure to hear. agreed= Night sailing. My favorite was a night passage to Corpus Christi in the 80's.
