welcome back to SB basing well our view

is gonna be different for a couple of

weeks here we are in Port Townsend on

the heart now we got a lot to do

we got hauled out yesterday got up this

morning and hit the ground running quite

a few projects we're gonna do while

we're on the hard let's go for fuel

already marked out it's quite a bit of

drew holes that we're not using I want

to get all these shaved out of here I've

marked him out with little red flags and

there's a dozen of them around the boat

comforting knowing that we get these out

of here we don't need them that's one

project another big project we have is

this bridge deck

look at this it's absolutely awful I

don't think it's ever had a top coat

this looks like primer to me and it's

just flaked off over the years we've

tried not to touch it until we hauled

out so that's what we're doing we're

gonna sand this all down put a nice

barrier coat on it and get a nice top

coat finish on this all the way down to

the waterline this should just look

amazing but before we do that these

Brits and stiffeners

we have one here this little one here

and this larger one here this little one

is actually not a stiffener but a wire

chase to get wires from the cockpit and

that to bring engine controls to this

old chute that was right here there was

an outboard chute that would come down

and just lower it outboard in here he

could see where this was

I want to smooth all this out get this

all nice and fair and build a stiffening

or stiffener just like that one over the

top of this that will really beef up

this area and add some more stability to

the cockpit and you also get helps break

the wave action if you get any as sloppy

seeds so that's gonna be a nice big

project we're gonna service our dagger

boards pull these out and make sure that

these trunks are free of barnacles

sanded and get all the hardware in there

that needs to go in there too to raise

and lower these properly

here's our sale drives it looks pretty

good a little bit of barnacles the boots

have fallen off over the years we'll get

new boots on there will tear to break

these down and service the sale drives

replace the zinc's these are key we sell

feathering props they're all composite

really lightweight and we do have one

that has a chip on one of the blades so

we'll replace that at the same time a

couple weeks ago I dropped the rudders

in blindly we were floating in the water

on a mount of these but now that we're

out of the water I could see that it's

not quite where it needs to be so I'll

loosen actually I'm gonna take these

cassettes out and readjust these rudders

so I could kick them to get nice even

reveals and then remount them and then

glass them in permanently that way I

could get rid of all this brackets and

really clean up these act ends if you

nice to get a little more glass in those

anyway it's a vulnerable point of the

boat and I know because while we were in

the marina we got hit by a 50-foot boat

and took a little damage right here I

did the repairs on the interior but now

that we have the boat hauled this was

alright at the waterline I couldn't do

this repair I'll take all this out dish

it out and really make sure that this is

all nice and secure and stable more

through holes on the exterior and we'll

be able to attack this rub rail and

there was a little bit of cracking on

this and I put a temporary fix a few

years ago on it well it's not a year and

a half ago but I want to pull the metal

cap off and lay glass cloth over this so

here's some right here

make sure we don't get any of this again

then won't be able to bring this white

paint all of our interlocks Brightside

down to the waterline we'll restriped

and new bottom paint it's a lot to do

and well I'm saying six weeks and linds

saying four weeks so we'll see who's

closer we got a lot a lot to do who not

to mention we want to do our ground

tackle before we launch I want to make

sure our ground tackle is all in huh big

projects but we'll just tackle it one

day at a time

she looks good I'm happy bottoms

look amazing it's like they were painted

a year ago and they've been sitting for

ten years without being hauled out okay

we got a lot to do four to six weeks

let's get busy okay the first thing I'm

gonna do is get these rudders and

cassettes out of here I have some work

inside of these trunks

that I want to attack I want to sand it

down to bare epoxy so when I get these

epoxy back in that they have something

to bite to and do some repairs in there

at the same time and I'm doing those

first because look at this it's

beautiful out and this is out in the

elements on rainy days I'll be working

under the bridge deck keeps me nice and

dry we've got a couple days of nice

weather so let's jump on these rudders

all right so now that teal has taken all

the bolts out it's time to pull these

and assess what is behind it I hope that

it comes out as easy as it went in oh

they're gonna come out like butter like

butter again

like butter I got a bit that was good so

we just put them underneath the boat

until we get everything in line and

ready to glass back in scrap this other

one

[Music]

there we go

okay now that these rudders are out we

could look at these trunk lines and they

look a little gnarly this is raw glass

here which is good I don't have to stand

too much but there's a little bit of

something going on over here

I want to dish all this out since this

is gonna be sealed in permanently I want

to clean all this up before we do that

okay we knew we had an issue inside of

these trunks and I was waiting to haul

out before we started work on this

because it's impossible to do in the

water and on the front edge of these

trunks this is all 90 car up in there

with glass on does somebody used the

camera here somebody use like an open

cell foam and then had a glass skin

overlay well that little skin failed and

filled this compartment with water and

this is just soaked out the moisture

luckily it's all glass behind it so

we're gonna dish all of this foam out of

here

just pick out a little at a time but I

needed somebody with little hands so get

in there and start picking that out get

it all the way back to that raw glass

back there and we'll take a look at

things we've got to get this out of

there but the good news is

we'll be that much later cuz this was a

lot of water back just keep chiseling

away look at this

crazy okay when did a good job dish this

whole thing out you can see it looks

perfectly clean in there now it's all

glass now but the Sun is blazing back

here so rather than do that other one

right now we'll do that in the morning

we're shifting gears and working on the

shade we're pulling this rub rail off

we're doing it for a couple reasons

there's a couple little cracks in here

nothing too major so I want to get some

glass cloth over here's a spot right

here like this I want to get this all

fared in nicely and glass cloth wrapped

up over this and this is a no look at

this this is an old dingy rail we could

polish it and try to put it back on just

a little segment years old

three-foot piece I don't know okay I'll

get it

so we're gonna look at our options

probably go with like a hard plastic

rubber or something like that I don't

know we'll look at it but don't bend

that too bad because we may have to

reuse this you could reach

barely a will attempt oh I'll get it

you didn't good

all right guys we're calling it a day

it's been 12 hours of non-stop work

we're exhausted we're dirty we're tired

and I think it's time for a drink

definitely I still have to make dinner

and we still need to have some semblance

of some quality time just not thinking

about the boat but boy she's looking

good and I am just so happy of what

we're gonna do see you guys tomorrow

okay

days are already starting to run into

each other here holed up in here a few

days we've been explored around the

marina yet we just started working rub

rails off

5300 is in here that's gonna be

difficult to get out of there

what uh figured that out started working

on the other side and got hot fast so

we're working the shade right now under

the boat for some reason Washington's

getting a heatwave we're gonna be like

close to 80 today it's crazy so we're

working on

knocking all this loose paint office

Bridge tag look at this we're gonna be

sanding it all but we want to get all

the loose flake off first you wanted

your work out who needs yoga with this

right just keep going you're doing good

look at all this the more you get off

the less after Sam

[Music]

okay she knocked off quite a bit off

here

I figure we do this every day for a

couple days Oh save me a lot of gumming

up a sanding paper later but now we've

got all these cleaned out now all that

old foam in here won't these brackets

off now they don't have kick up rudders

I don't need them so I take these off

next that way smooth next one up

get my hair out of the way the one

closest to the inside hull while lives

in there forget these women latter's off

[Music]

everything's loose here we go

Cal the hardware's removed

looks like 5,200 was used to seal the

sub let's see if these come off

there we go cheese weighs 5 pounds

killed all the fairing compound out with

it no big deal there goes another 20

pounds away I know right so we were in

the sling wine it was unreal that was

really cool and you they set us over

into a washdown area so we could power

wash the boat

although teal got most of the stuff off

it couldn't get off this late union

grime and we're not sure if it's just

spills over time or or what but I am

going through and just hand scrubbing

all of that off we are gonna be standing

everything down but I just want to get

this stuff off first so then we have a

clean slate to paint onto plus it looks

much nicer

what you got there Emma I don't know I

think it's a beetle or something which

is playing on the beach and then I found

it so cute oh it's trying to fly away

okay

[Music]

we've been working hard all morning

heavenly so we're gonna go grab just -

oh we're gonna go grab a bite to eat

take a break for a minute and then hit

it hard for the afternoon okay - okay I

need to class in these cassettes but

first I'm getting down to the raw 90

core cleaning this up drilling out all

this oh look at all this old hardware I

mean there must have been different

brackets put on four or five times so

just getting this all cleaned up so when

we get this cassette in here I can get

some nice cloth just overlap four inches

on to here and obviously we're gonna do

it on the inside - yeah that'll be yeah

all the way around this face it's gonna

be sweet yeah just a lot of prep here a

lot yeah but it feels good to just get

all of these brackets they're kind of

stabbed in and now does it make sense

anymore should clean it up

[Applause]

[Applause]

reminds me of like mortising in like a

giant strike plate in a door I've

basically scored my line keep the chisel

nice and sharp just I'm just guiding it

right over that night of course

substrate here you know this will take

me a good hour or two to do this but

[Laughter]

doing a little first date yeah you want

to show them what happened what do you

mean I'm gone for like literally five

minutes you got another accident another

well this is the one from yesterday it

was from yesterday you sent you draw the

chisel right through your finger yeah

but look how nice it closed it up with a

super glue yeah that's nice now I'm

gonna close this enough this is it's

like shredded it open somehow the

bleeding stopped but I got to get some

superglue on this one to keep it from

breaking open

it's ding ow that was Harry's not too

bad I think it could use a stitch no god

no

hey let me to open this up to get the

superglue in there there we go left

alone you could leave me alone I'm fine

every time you are really good at what

you do but you seem to always hurt

yourself I sacrificed my hands it's

always the hands you can't sacrifice

those hands I still have all 10 fingers

look at this they all work wow what an

achievement be careful I will till

tomorrow okay

this is uh getting there fast

when I'm laying this glass over this I'm

also gonna bring it around this corner

when we were in Lake Union we got hit by

a 50-foot powerboat clipped us pretty

good here so I'll do that repair at the

same time I've already done all the

repairs on the interior and so I'll dish

hold this out clean this up and when I

lay this glass of bringing around this

and really beefed up this corner get

aside so prep now

[Music]

I even dished all this damage out

letting this bake in the Sun for a while

just make sure there isn't zero moisture

in here before I do the repair okay you
