I saw your channel from the video mark the DIY catamaran guy put up. I like the way you film your videos it’s kind of like Sam Holmes, No bullshit just pure sailing and fixing boats. I am certain that your channel will blow up. Cheers mate good luck I’m looking forward to the next. Ps once youre done with this one you should definitely swap it for a massive beat up yacht 😂
Hi. You have done a great job cleaning the fiberglass. Now you need to protect all your hard work! The 1978 gelcoat finish has lost its gloss and is now slightly porous. (UV degredation) The smooth areas of gelcoat need wax and a polish. The rough non-skid areas; well, you just have to keep them clean with soap and water as you have been doing. It is amazing what a bit of "elbow grease" can do! I want to see you and Mark cruising together this summer
@@sailingsilverwind Thanks for the reply. It would be really interesting to have a back story in the channel’s description and maybe the reason why you have both taken to sailing. I’m looking forward to following your adventures, in which I hope you visit many far away countries, it must be so exciting for both of you.
I enjoy cleaning videos. You could film cleaning that canopy and front of the boat and I enjoy that too. If u plan to wax and make it shiny please film
Did I say too much when I said she would sail really nice? My D31 really surprised me in a very positive way first time I sailed her. Nice to see you enjoy your hard work.
Good morning Look at all the new subscriber I’m pretty sure yesterday when I subscribe you did not have 1000 subscribers yet but I could be wrong. Congratulations anyway.
@@sailingsilverwind I’ve been following Mark since he started the refit on Minke. I enjoy watching him complete his projects on a shoestring budget. Plus his dad is pretty amazing.
Please be aware of dissimilar metals. When placing stainless steels fittings onto aluminium, you need to apply a barrier paste, such as Tef-gel, otherwise your aluminium will corrode.

Hi! Great reply, that's correct, that's why it felt good to use some deck shampoo! But keeping her clean 🫧 is definitely the goal/task! 👍🏻💦⛵

Jou boot ziet er all mooi uit 🎉, en het weer word nu beter dus dat word genieten op het water. Ik kijk uit naar meer mooie filmpjes van jou.
Dankjewel! Nu ziet het er oke uit maar kijk maar eens naar episode 1 😱. Zag er wel anders uit!
Je hebt een mooi project gehad, en het nu varende/zeilende hebt. Misschien tot op het water, met een zelfde dufour. (Was ook ooit zo'n project😊)
Ah super tof!! 👍🏻😁 Waar lig je?
@@sailingsilverwind wij liggen in Lemmer. Waar lig jij? Amsterdam of omstreken?

Yes, your correct, I've done that in episode 4. Duralac anti corrosive past. I could have done that with this accessory too..! Good one.
Would it be possible for you to turn up the record sound? I have my sound turned up to maximum and it is difficult to hear you. Thanks.
I'm working on an external mic, and then this should be miles better
What are the 4 rectangular white covers in the entrance to the cabin?? Thanks for sharing
That's for the wiring or accessories on deck! Like wrinches etc.
