- The Irwin Sailboat DIY Restoration Project WEEK 40 Prepping the Boats Hull for New Paint Ep. 64 is a lot of really hard work. Sanding and sanding and sanding some more getting this outer hull ready for renewal! Our family can’t wait to get this part shining again!
Hoping all is well with you all. Haven't seen a new video in a while now. Take care and we are looking forward to the next video update. We hope you have a wonderful positive day 😊
Thanks! You too!
Prep is the most important part of painting. You need to fair all the cracks and fill. Use progressively less grit the apply the primer in two coats then re-sand. Alexseal was used on our hull three months ago. It is a more forgiving paint than AwlGrip as it can be touched up and buffed - 2 coats.
Thank you for the excellent advice. We appreciate it very much.
60 grit is pretty aggressive,probably could have been careful with 180 and painted over the last layer.Without priming,you never tilt your sander while sanding thats why you have all those little spots that are down to the gelcoat.Good luck with what you are planning next👍
Thank you.
Wow! Great progress! I’m finally caught up with your videos. Hope all is well! We head back to Arbor Terrace in November… I’ll give you a call and hope to visit you all then! Stay safe and enjoy your adventures!!
Hey!! Great!! We will see you soon!!
Love this. When can we expect another video?
Very soon!
It has been 4 months since your last video. I hope everything is ok.
We are all okay. We are developing a piece of property and it has taken all our time. We miss the boat and are hoping to be back at it any day!
Missing you guys. Hope lol is well
We are figuring out! Just taking longer than we expected.
😎👍

How are you doing?
We are doing great! Another episode is coming soon!
60 grit???? You are going to go over it with a finer grit (120 or slightly finer) prior to painting? I think 60 is way too course and the scratches will show thru the paint. Too late now but a heat gun works well to remove vinyl lettering. Renaming the boat involves showing the boat your black American Express card so she will know you have the means to care for her properly.
I am rolling!!!
Good work, keep it up. Renaming ceremonies vary a lot. Depends on whether you focus on "the old gods, or a Christian ceremony, or a blended ceremony that honors the traditions of the sea and asks the Lord for protection. Whichever you choose there are a couple of "must do" items. First you must remove every reference to the old name "Leisure Time" from both the inside and outside of the boat. That includes any and all paperwork that might have the old name. Most important, to respect the traditions of the sea, do not rename the boat until it is IN THE WATER. It is acceptable to put the new name on the boat before launch, but only if you then cover it until the renaming ceremony. All of the traditions I am aware of are intended to be done with the boat in the water. I would suggest that when you do "rename" your boat have every member of your family participate, invite everyone who helped to be there, and have a celebration on board the "new" boat!
Thank you so much for this very thoughtful answer. We appreciate it very much! Sounds like a good time to us!!
I believe there is also supposed to be drink offerings to the four winds, some for the vessel and such as that.
I think I have seen something like this as well. Very curious.
Hope you guys are alright. Are you still working on the boat?
We are all in good health. Very busy figuring out a new homestead spot.
@theazimuthadventure2138 Good to hear you all are alright. Are you going to sell the boat?
Are you guys still doing videos?
Definitely! Just got a bit side tracked on the homestead build. More videos on the Irwin Sailboat coming soon!
Hi guys, live the channel, love the boat and the work you are all doing to her. I have a serious concern though! I've noticed the cheap masks you are wearing while doing the nasty stuff. I'm sure others would agree with this, my feelings are the masks you are wearing are FAR from adequate in keeping yourselves safe from the dangerous particles you are generating. PLEASE look into safer respiratory protection... PLEASE!!!
We actually really appreciate you and the concerns you’ve expressed. I hope you have seen the respirators we employ quite regularly. We would agree that there are times we downgrade to the surgical masks and the n95’s but we try to be very cautious as to when those reductions in PPE are appropriate.
Sanding is coming on nicely just make sure you protect your eyes and your mouths are well.covered I have worked in fibre glass it does not taste nice and going into your lungs will cause problems but the hull is coming on nicely with your work ethics 😊😊😊😊
@@kevinmartin3859 thank you Kevin! It’s great to hear from you, as always!
Come on guys please at least tell us what’s going on. We’d all like to know. Thank you
Hey shark man! We have been setting up a homestead and the whole thing has taken much longer than we expected. More to come on all of it!!
@@theazimuthadventure2138 Does this mean you’re done with the sailboat ? Thank you and thanks for answering. You’ve been missed!
Unfortunately, Andrew the dad passed away from heart failure a week after this video posted. R.I.P
Ouch. No no no. No broken hearts here. Silly scripteazer!
@@theazimuthadventure2138I knew if i posted that, you would come and defend. When are you coming back?
