hi ! yea the guys know what they are doing ☺️ thanks for watching !

This video was one of the best videos I’ve seen you guys do. This is the real eye opener for those who think that the sailing life is all fishing and beaches, kite boarding and snorkeling. The money spent was well worth it in the long run, your sailing vessel looks awesome, and your hard paid off. Take care of each other. 😉

@26:58 that much rust in your coolant reservoir means there's a bigger problem. Need to check the heat exchanger in the engine.

Boat work in a project boat us like any hard manual work job after a couple weeks your body will adjust and become use to the work take it from someone that spent 25 years on as block/ stone / and brick Mason you see the new guys come and go the ones that last about 2 weeks shift a gear and last

You made a very good antifouling paint choice. The silicon paints only work if you are moving fast enough to get the growth off he boat. Your boat won't get that fast despite being a catamaran. SV Delos did silicon and dropped it like a rock. Silicon needs fast water moving over the hull to work. Sitting stll allows the stuff to stick to the hull, and then it doesn't want to come off after that first adhesion.

Can you share what kind of seals you used to replace the Yanmar seals on your sail drive? Did you do anything else to make the sail drive work better? Thanks for any input!

So I see later that you sent the sail drive clutch assembly out to be maintained. Can you share what type of upgrade was done? Was it expensive? And, did they improve the clutch to reduce the tendency to slip?

That black bottom looks much nicer, I saw them finishing the polishing but isn’t the next step applying the ceramic coat, did you decide not to do that?

@LivingHakuna

HI Erick, yes that is correct after the polishing the next step was to apply the ceramic coat but we were out of time and were scheduled to go back in the water. so we will do it in the water .

I got confused in there somewhere. When you say you hired someone to do the polishing towards the end, does that mean that they also applied the ceramic coating? Or was that a separate step after the polishing?

Great question Jeremiah! Polishing is a separate step from the ceramic coating. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😁

I read a story about why large ships paint the hulls a light color compared to darker colors. They say that light colors doesn't get barnacles or as much growth on the hull as fast as darker colors. They say that barnacles attach to darker colors and almost avoid the lighter colors. This can prevent hull outs by one to two seasons and maybe longer for a repaint anyway. The study I read said that the shipping industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on that study because of the cost of hulling out large ships. That's why you see large ships with red hulls. Great job you two.

Don't blame you for tapping out on the buffing/polishing ! It will flat wear your butt out in the heat ! I used a compound "Aqua Buff" on a boat that had been sitting for years and was so dried out if you leaned against it you would have gel dust all over you ! Once you're done your not done you have to put a couple of coats of wax to seal it ! Damn, if I still had a boat I would be about 15# lighter ?

If you are worried about the environment, next time use coppercoat. Lasts 10 years and in that time it loses only 1% of copper in this 'paint' (it is not really a paint. It is epoxy with copper mixed in. the copper can not leave the epoxy so almost nothing gets into the environment.

GREAT VIDEO 📹THIS WEEK! What I did back in the day on my boats🚢 bottom paint was I added (based on and the old way the old fisherman did on there boats 🚢 and it would last 5 years) copper, nickel, zinc, and arsenic to the paint. Now all that was already in the paint. I just added 30% more to it. And it was a hard paint. And it lasted me over 5 years. And when i had to clean the bottom all i would have is a rag and it all just fell aff. And I Had No Hard Growth on it at all. Ok untell next time ⏲️ Aloha from the Big Island 🏝of Hawaii 🏝
