    The straps inside the sail bag are for rolling up the batten on the bag and strapping it. This allows for all of the sail area to be used.

    It’s amazing how little things like the steering wheel covers and some lazy jacks will transform how you feel about the boat. One day it’s all a drag. Fix a few minor things and the boat is great and I love this life.

    Boat looking really great… the new sun shades look excellent and you are really getting Escapade looking like new. Teak decks are a lot of work anywhere… but worth the effort… love watching every episode you put out…always entertaining and so natural… ❤

      Hey John, she’s Coming together slowly but surely. She was well overdue so it’ll be nice to get back in the water with some new upgrades and some TLC. Thanks as always for following along and your kind words 😁🙌🏼🥰

    Decks looking good sail bag looking good, Now the window shades look really good, but I've concerns about you attaching to window by 3M and a glue substance. How durable will this be when dealing with the sea salt, heat, and the other element's of weather. Please I'm not trying to be negative just not wanting you to waste your money. They do look fab though.
    Looking forward to next video cheers

      Amazing! 🙌🏼 Make sure you use our link and code so you get 10% off too 😆 let me know how you go 😄 just jump online and you can input each window/area measurement and then the calculator will tell you how big of a roll you need and how many studs depending on how close together you want them, and then they send a template on how to cut it so you get the most of our your roll 😄 if you need any help let us know 🥰

      Ah really?! You’re the second person who has said that now! We have moved since then and lots of boats have been moving around. Was it when we did the shades or when we did some other jobs? Cuz it’s two different locations 🤣

    Nice work guys. Have you tried cleaning the clears with the automotive kits available for the plastic lenses on car headlights ? Works a treat on headlights not sure if it would do the same on your clears but worth a try.

    • @LeadingtheEscapade
      @LeadingtheEscapade  14 годин тому

      We tried starbrite plastic polish but it didn’t help much 😢 maybe ever so slightly but they’ll def need replacing. That’s a good idea though maybe we’ll try

    I so need those shades for my boat. Hopefully available in Oz?

    • @LeadingtheEscapade

      They do good and way cheaper than having someone custom made them for you. I believe they ship to Australia but you might want to email and check how much shipping it to there 😄 make sure you use our link and code for 10% off too!

    Will you sand down the deck handrails and re-varnish them? It would make the boat look better.

    • @LeadingtheEscapade
      @LeadingtheEscapade  14 годин тому +1

      Yesss for sure 😉 they’re looking so bad!! They used to be oiled and we tried varnishing them last haul out but they didn’t hold up well at all so we’re going to sand them back and oil them this time. That way it’s easy to just pop another coat of oil on every few months without having to resand. They’ll look much better

    Will yall have to remove the mesh if the water gets the windows spotty? Just Ask'n

    • @LeadingtheEscapade
      @LeadingtheEscapade  День тому

      They’re easy to kind of clip on and off, you just have a special little tool to unclip the mesh away from the stud. So the 3M stud always stays but you can remove them mesh when needed. Although you prob wouldn’t want to be doing it super often as you’ll start to loosen the clips. But for odd cleaning etc it’s easy to do 😆
