Boat Doctor episode 14 Repairing the hull of a catamaran
Переглядів 137Рік тому
www.costablancayachtservices.com/ Supporting a boat properly when it is on dry dock is very important. Catamarans need to be supported on their keel. The last time this boat was pulled out at a different marina they supported it on the hull causing damage and eventually leaks. This week the team at Costa Blanca Yacht Services will take on the project of repairing the hull.

Переглядів 5772 роки тому
www.costablancayachtservices.com/ An anode is a sacrificial block of either zinc or aluminum alloy that is mounted on, or connected to, the underwater metal parts of your boat. A boat anode purpose is to protect areas of the boat from corrosion. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are immersed in a conductive solution and are electrically connected. We recommend replacing anode...

Boat Doctor episode 1 Explaining the maintenance of a Stern Gland
The video does not show much of the process of replacing the keel bolts. When and how were the new bolts attached to the keel ? All I see are threaded rods and removal of the sealant between hull and keel. These threaded rods are screwed into - I take it- large stainless steel bolts attached under steel plates in the keel thereby not forgetting galvanic corrosion. How about showing the bolts in the bilde ? How much torque is applied to the threaded rods and bolts ?
How eas it fetermined the bolts beed teplacement ?
I am a big fan of the long encapsulated keel. No need for keel bolts there. I guess I must sacrifice some performance for strength.
That is the kind of job I couldn't do myself and would have serious trouble trusting to someone else.
Schrott Boot Konstruktion
I'd like to see keels that are built with soda can aluminum all the way to the bottom, where it would meet with a lead weight shaped to deform in bottom strikes and groundings. Entirely iron keels have too much extra weight high up.
You won't see that. Aluminum is not strong enough in this application.
What's the rough price for a job like that?
Dropping the keel can be a nightmare project. This video doesn't show much of the process. Best bet is to get a boat where the keel is integral to the hull. No bolts to worry about. Older style boats with slack-bilges, full keels and cutaway forefoot designs are tougher and you never have to deal with all this.
Im surpised they haven't jumped all over you to tell you how terrible full keel boats sail. This, on the other hand, looks pretty terrible to me. It can get a lot worse than what we saw here it seems. I guess boats are no picnic no matter what.
@@autonomousindividual7780You don't have to go full keel. You can have a cutaway forefoot and, maybe, a so-called Brewer bite towards the stern. Still fully encapsulated ballast in the keel is a good way to avoid the headaches. It should be pointed out that later design/build boats with fin keels don't necessarily have this problem. I've known more than a few sailors with fin- or modified fin -keel boats who have taken some hard grounding and never had an issue with keel separation. It's a favorite subject of conversation around the ol' watering hole.
@@autonomousindividual7780 The full keel sails pretty well downwind in a big sea. Try a North Atlantic gale with a full keel. I suspect your opinion would change and you may drop the word " terrible " from your description.
'Promo sm'
I’m planning to cut the keel off about 16” from the hull to keep the stability as she won’t sail again … but never thought about the seals between keel and hull !!!! Thank you
Hi! I was thinking of doing the same thing to my boat. Have you cut it yet? Do you have any pictures?
What kind of boat is that? There are many boats where the keel bolts aren't exposed, how do you check those for oxidation? Thank you:)
What happened? The video just ended, I didn't hear a lunch bell lol
What sealant did you use?
he mentioned sika plex
Sikaflex 291
I put a copper bottom on my home built fiberglass sailboat using vinyl Ester resin and copper powder purchased from a pattern making Supply, and now I'm scraping before haul out just to see what the condition is like and it's pretty much as when I put it on with the exception of a couple of quarter size delaminations. Only a few and very minor as I work my way down toward the keel I'm finding good solid copper under my scraper and I hardly need to be hauled out at all but after 25 years I think it's time. I believe it was 2001 when I put this bottom on and launch the boat. It probably needs a good scraping and then recoating and then the burnishing to bring up the copper. Thanks for making a straightforward, direct and to the point informative video and not dragging out all kinds of show and tell and filling it with advertising to sell promotions. Great job
Now that's real science unlike what goes on at Nasa

Why do people trust a few bolts to prevent what is sure to be an instantaneous capsize?
stupid question. Bolts are everywhere, cars, planes, ferris wheel, everywhere and it is normal to trust your life on them.
Because they're strong proven graded and trusted
But what CANNOT be trusted Is the word of a boat seller as to Thame status of the bolts. Best buy a full keel...many of us certainly will never trust keel bolts as it's simply a poor design that can contribute to major damage being undetected and leading to fatal consequences for many. Even new boats could have sustained damage to their structure during transport that can and has remained concealed
Personally I'd prefer an iron/steel keel secured with strong steel bolts to a GRP shell full of lead which can fracture and spill its ballast after impact with no internal indication of what's going on. And full keels are sloooooow and don't point so there's a much higher risk of being caught in weather or being fatally embayed on a lee shore, as happened to Dream Catcher, a long keeled Golden Globe entrant driven ashore in a gale whilst a fleet of fin keelers managed to beat to safety.
