hi folks hi
0:07
in this video we uh
0:10
get back into the water after making a
0:12
hole in our boat
0:14
um we've got a water maker project going
0:17
on
0:18
so once the boat was back in the water
0:20
we gave our friends peter and anna hand
0:22
to do their copper coat
0:24
um
0:25
or redo their copper coat because it was
0:28
10 years old we didn't have any leaks
0:30
did we no we didn't um
0:32
and we were not expected
0:35
and we uh we uh
0:37
made our way here
0:39
yeah just for a couple of days we've got
0:41
to go back to the marina tomorrow for a
0:42
few days anyway we'll see you at the end
0:45
of this video
0:46
bye for now bye
0:50
in this week's video we make a hole in
0:52
the boat for an upcoming project
0:56
we go back into the water ready for the
0:58
new season
1:00
we help out with some copper coats
1:03
what
1:04
we get up really early to catch the gold
1:06
now
1:15
and we're rewarded with some great drone
1:18
footage
1:21
[Music]
1:31
[Music]
1:36
raw water scoop
1:38
for the water maker or the water maker
1:41
yeah
1:42
so
1:43
i'll mark that with a pencil in a minute
1:46
yeah and then get the seeker flex around
1:48
there
1:50
you don't want me to hold oh no because
1:51
you've got the flex in first
2:01
i can cut a good inch off of there
2:04
off the um through hole yeah yeah
2:08
because what do you need just a half
2:10
inch clearance above the um
2:12
yeah retaining nut
2:14
yeah
2:15
well enough to screw the hose on yeah
2:18
the um
2:20
the fitting fits in on which is a
2:22
stainless steel
2:24
connector
2:26
so
2:29
actually if we can
2:32
that's going to be like that
2:35
we could cut it about there but
2:38
you're only cutting an inch off you
2:39
might as well just leave it
2:42
let's see where it goes
2:44
very good okay
2:46
oh so
2:47
up and down the ladder
2:49
up and down like a fiddler's elbow right
2:51
so the
2:53
uh
2:54
through holly is actually now in here
2:56
where our other through holes are um
2:59
it's down
3:01
the back that side
3:03
well out the way or it's not going to
3:04
get knocked
3:06
um
3:07
i've put the seeker flex on
3:11
and just tugged it home a little bit
3:14
and now
3:16
to go downstairs
3:18
and just
3:20
schmooze
3:22
smooth it out
3:24
so not the tidiest job
3:27
but at least we've got the uh
3:30
seeker flex down to um
3:33
the fibreglass there
3:35
it's a bit too much copper coat off
3:37
there
3:38
like i said we're going to do it again
3:39
next year i'm not going to put this
3:41
screw in here
3:42
because i don't want to put another hole
3:44
in the boat
3:45
and
3:46
that will hold out adequately
3:48
so it's not done right up tight it's up
3:50
the finger tight and then tomorrow
3:52
morning
3:53
i will just um
3:55
tighten it up when the superflex has
3:56
gone off
3:58
so there we are that's that
4:01
vida
4:02
vidu
4:04
what's going on there then
4:09
as you can see and it's taking the um
4:12
decals off
4:14
had a bit of damage to one of them
4:16
and our daughter made us some new ones
4:18
when we were in the uk so i'm going to
4:19
put those on today
4:21
[Music]
4:27
so top tip for when you're putting these
4:29
decals on spray a little
4:31
soapy water onto the surface it helps
4:34
you to maneuver the decals about
4:37
rya cod
4:39
it's the best use it's had in five years
4:46
a bit of a throwaway comment there but
4:48
um
4:48
what do you get from the rya if you're
4:50
an rya member what do you get because
4:53
we're not really getting very much for
4:56
our membership money and they've gone
4:58
awoke as well
5:00
leave a comment below
5:03
yeah
5:04
yeah
5:05
[Music]
5:08
so there we are all finished polished
5:12
there's a couple of bits that come off
5:14
from the bottom
5:16
um
5:18
just put ordinary antifoul on there for
5:20
now next year i'm going to sandblast it
5:23
which is what i wanted to do in the
5:24
first place
5:25
well i think we're going to give the to
5:26
keep saying the copper coat another go
5:29
let's set a light um going over the
5:32
green scratchy and then
5:34
where the worm has got in um
5:37
on the surface just broken it with a
5:40
a sander with some 80 and 120 grit
5:44
we're moving around
5:46
um bowel repairs are done
5:49
so i'm hoping to have a bowel protector
5:51
made stainless skies dragging his feet
5:54
which is a shame because he's uh he's
5:56
he's a good engineer i think he's just
5:58
got too much on
6:00
um i actually paid a guy to do the uh
6:03
to do the buffing it wasn't that bad um
6:06
but he's done a really good job
6:09
very pleased with that and i gave him
6:11
a little bit of a
6:13
little bit of a drink for himself so
6:15
that uh
6:18
he's got you know he's done a good job
6:19
and i wanted to give him a decent tip so
6:22
i did
6:23
um
6:25
that's about it really i've got a little
6:27
bit of stainless steel work that i'm
6:29
gonna do
6:30
down here for my
6:33
cruising chute
6:35
and hopefully i can get that finished
6:38
today
6:39
let's go and see if the stainless man's
6:40
here see if i can jim up a bit
6:43
well the stainless man wasn't there and
6:45
therefore i couldn't jam up and we
6:47
didn't get the
6:49
bow protector made i think we're
6:51
probably going to go to marmaris
6:53
in the very near future where there is
6:55
another metal working shop of very good
6:57
repute
7:10
[Music]
7:27
[Music]
7:33
this is a lagoon 380
7:37
and this one's called wet cat and
7:39
belongs to our friend
7:41
peter
7:42
and his wife ann
7:45
and it was copper coated 10 years ago
7:52
over those 10 years
7:55
they've had really good service from the
7:56
copper coat
7:58
but it's time
8:01
to add more copper coating
8:06
so they've abraded the copper coat down
8:08
with 80 grit
8:10
paper
8:11
to get rid of all the green
8:14
verde i believe they call it
8:19
and take it right back
8:21
to copper
8:22
and actually
8:24
back to the primer that was on there
8:27
underneath
8:30
and today
8:34
we're going to put another coat
8:37
on
8:38
so once you start copper coat
8:42
you have to finish copper coat
8:45
so it's um
8:47
all rubbed down
8:49
all the masking tape supplied
8:52
and soon we're going to start
8:54
putting
8:56
five maybe six layers on
8:59
of copper coat
9:00
the first coats going on
9:02
i said the first coats going on yes
9:06
and uh the observant among you will
9:08
notice that it's not copper coloured
9:10
and recommendations of
9:12
one of the directors of uh copper coat
9:15
who worked on sailing briticon is that
9:16
when you overcoat
9:18
an existing copper coat
9:21
the first coat is um
9:23
you don't put the copper in
9:25
it just helps to
9:27
bond it's a bonding coat
9:29
which kind of makes sense
9:32
but yeah it's going on
9:37
nice even coats
9:43
quite easy to see where we've done
9:46
well we haven't done
9:49
[Applause]
9:50
a surprising amount of coverage out of
9:53
the first liter
10:00
[Applause]
10:03
oh no look i stirred it clockwise oh no
10:08
not clockwise surely
10:11
this is the final mix coming up one and
10:13
a half times the copper in this
10:15
according to the technical master uh oh
10:19
no it's that would be illegal david oh
10:21
would it yes oh sorry scratch that
10:23
exactly the right amount of copper in
10:25
there that it should have that's
10:28
everything
10:29
well we can edit that out don't worry
10:32
we're just about to put the fifth coat
10:34
on now
10:35
um
10:37
and
10:37
this is going to have
10:39
um the right amount of copper in of
10:41
course so that would be this hole done
10:44
we started about nine o'clock this
10:45
morning
10:46
it's now quarter two this afternoon
10:50
and we've only got one more to do
10:51
tomorrow which is this one over here
10:55
so
10:56
here are the two stooges
10:59
mixing up mr pastry
11:01
and a rose between two oh and a rose
11:03
between two thorns that's ann over there
11:10
end of day two
11:12
let
11:21
in three two one action peter
11:29
look at that puppet straight
11:31
five coats of copper coat on there
11:35

11:40
nice good for another 10 years peter
11:51
[Music]
12:04
i've been down
12:06
i've been everywhere
12:10
but i'm all right now
12:13
i'm alright
12:15
i nearly drown
12:18
in my own despair
12:21
but i'm all right now
12:25
[Music]
12:28
you can turn the rain into
12:33
[Music]
12:43
i couldn't stop
12:46
always messing around
12:49
but that has changed now
12:52
that has changed
12:54
i never thought
12:57
i could settle down
13:00
but that has changed now
13:03
yeah
13:06
[Music]
13:13
this is what it means to fall in love
13:20
i like it
13:23
[Music]
13:33
[Music]
13:45
i used to think
13:48
another wasted night
13:51
but not anymore
13:56
[Music]
14:04
this is
14:10
[Music]
14:16
um
14:24
[Music]
14:47
david and caroline on eternity
14:50
so david's got his heavy boots on
14:55
uh
14:56
he's gonna put a sail up
15:00
we're on the main
15:01
just the main it's creaking away a
15:03
little bit
15:04
needs a bit of lubrication on the uh
15:08
on the clue
15:10
i've just um
15:12
put the engine away
15:14
sorry start again
15:16
we've just put the sails away we're
15:17
coming into the bottom end of keck over
15:19
which is
15:20
about there
15:22
flash flash we can see it on that one
15:26
um and we're going to try somewhere new
15:28
that uh
15:30
barry and ancia from abc sailing abc
15:33
recommended we're going to go in here
15:35
and and try this i think it's called
15:36
smugglers
15:37
i'm going to slow down a bit because um
15:39
there's quite a few rocks in here we
15:42
don't want to plow into one of them and
15:43
i never trust the charts you know me
15:46
so we are going in here
15:52
and we're gonna go around the back of
15:53
this island here
15:56
and when we get a bit closer in because
15:57
we're about
16:00
800 yards
16:03
yeah
16:04
yeah that's from our final position
16:05
about 800 yards off the island
16:08
um so
16:10
once that gets a bit uh closer and you
16:12
can see something i'll uh
16:15
put the camera back on
16:17
well now a bit closer in you can see
16:19
there's a cave there on that little
16:21
island i'm just going to explore that
16:23
later
16:24
i'll show you on the charts where we are
16:28
see that
16:29
difficult not very
16:34
bright there's our
16:37
chart plotter
16:40
quite high mountains lots of protection
16:41
all round
16:43
um
16:46
one chart plotters showing some rocks
16:48
almost dead ahead off to one side and
16:51
the other one's showing nothing so who
16:53
do you believe
16:55
um
16:58
i guess a lead weight with a piece of
17:00
tallow on the end
17:02
on a piece of hairy string
17:05
that's the one to test and check
17:10
proper soundings
17:13
but yeah we're just gonna gently ooze in
17:15
here
17:18
very slowly
17:22
still 41 meters underneath us and and
17:26
that doesn't look
17:28
let's look it on the camera because i'm
17:29
looking at the view screen but this
17:31
island here is
17:33
uh three boat lengths away i would say
17:37
i haven't got the rangefinder out yet
17:40
i would say that's what it is
17:43
cindy's gonna go and get the uh anchor
17:46
gear because i said rangefinder and i
17:49
saw the clockwork
17:51
so she's now gonna get the rangefinder
17:53
the um
17:56
anchor winless remote control
18:01
and the other paraphernalia
18:04
ready for us to drop an anchor i think
18:06
we're probably going to tie back if we
18:08
stay here
18:09
let's uh let's see what it's like i'm
18:11
going to put the camera down now
18:13
and
18:18
put the camera down now and um
18:20
let you see what happens let's
18:23
go and put it over here
18:34
so as normal we go into the anchorage
18:36
and
18:37
have a good look around we tend to do a
18:40
couple of 360s around the area that
18:42
we're going to drop the hook just to
18:44
make sure the depth is okay and that's
18:46
what we're doing here
18:51
[Music]
19:01
the depth of water here is about 4.5
19:04
meters fairly constant a muddy bottom
19:07
and we put 22 meters of chain out and of
19:10
course once we're done
19:12
we'll uh pull that chain in hard using
19:14
the bridle but first we put the fenders
19:17
out fenders and chain what have they got
19:19
in common
19:20
no good in a locker put them out there's
19:22
always someone else that hits you
19:38
we've done this so many times that uh we
19:41
have a set method i usually go and put
19:43
the bridle on and cindy's at the helm
19:45
now
19:46
putting the boat into reverse about 1500
19:49
rpm for 10-15 seconds
19:51
just to pull the anchor home always pull
19:54
the anchor on the bridle never on your
19:56
windlass
20:13
about seven
20:20
[Music]
20:25

20:27
