If you like boat work, then this video is for you :) Last week left us riding high having just accomplished our rigging project. We’re feeling closer than ever to casting the lines and setting sail. But there is one elephant in the room, and that is Boundless’ booty. She’s sat at the dock for way too long now and in the tropical heat. Her hull desperately needs some work.
We do all of the work ourselves, to save the money on labor. This means hours and hours of grinding away as fast as we can so we don't have to pay for more days in the yard than necessary. Let's make it count!
Grab a drink, grab a snack, and buckle in for 4 days of what we like to call the BOATYARD BOOGIE.
Enjoy!

Top tip is to spray diluted household bleach on to the hull when it’s lifted out, leave it 10 minutes, then the barnacles just drop off! I’ve used this method many times and it makes to whole process so much easier. Go Boundless
I’m not crying you’re crying 🙃
But in all seriousness that is a great tip! Until next time…haha!
if the barnacle bases are calcium carbonate try vinegar if it's cheaper..@@SailingSeawind
If you sail around a little, most of it just comes off. Having it cleaned is the same price, but it’s less embarassing! 😂
You two rock, much love and positivity!
MIGRAINES!!! I live in sweltering, sunny Florida. Smart move getting wrap around sunglasses! I learned to keep my head cool by pouring cool water over my head periodically, keeping my hair wet, thereby wicking heat out of my skull. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I hope this helps. Love y’all ❤
Thank you for the tip! That should be easy enough we will try that next time 😄
After years of meds that did not help I went keto, have not had a migraine in 4 years now, I used to have cluster migraine at least once a week...
Katy have you tried to use polarized lenses? They should help out a lot
Katy, my wife takes imitrex. A gallon of antifouling here is between $100-$300. We use the bleach technique as well and it works. Great job guys, she looks marvelous, simply marvelous.
Thanks for the info! I will definitely be trying the bleach method next time.
I was at Shelter Bay in 2007 when that travel lift was delivered.
Katy, as someone who suffers badly from the heat and gets heat induced bad headaches that go into migraines, I found the best way to stop it or at least delay it, if I was to spend a lot of time in the sun, is to have a broad brimmed hat that is loose around the temples and on the scalp and possibly needed a chin strap to hold it on. Also, you can get them with a flap that hangs down the sides and the back and when it gets really hot, wet the flap. The wet flap then helps keep the neck and scalp cool for a while longer. I could never wear a baseball styled cap. They were too tight on my scalp and of course never kept any sun off my whole neck and head.
Thank you for the tip! We have buffs that we can wet and put over our necks/heads. We will give that a try 😊
Stupendous work, more than excellent! Congratulations! 👏👏👏
Great work both of you! When it’s time to sail, play as hard as you work! You’ve earned it! Great video!
That is the hard part, ballancing work and play but we always try to make it happen! Thanks. :)
I'm in Camp Hill Pa. Nice vid, putting a trawler or a sailboat in the water this year. Regarding the "OVERDRIVE" on prop, DONT. it could lug the engine( put more strain on it, specifically pistons and rod bearings. )
Katie, I am an Eye Migrainer from FL. I do like those shades. 😎
The most important App that you will have to observe every day will be Windy, all your work on board and on land depends on it. The weather is everything, even when you get ready to rest.
We love Windy! We also use Predict Wind for our forecasting and weather routing
@@SailingSeawind Very well, good luck
Great job of getting Boundless cleaned up and back into thye water. Looking forward to your cruising videos on Boundless.
Thank you 😊
I love your boat! It has such beautiful lines. Looks like your bottom is still in great shape too. Hauling out is sure a good decision. Keep up the good work. Aloha from Hawaii!
Thanks so much! Yes we are very glad we made the call to haul out :)
"this is my friend, what is your name again?" :)
Great progress guys and wow Boundless is looking very dapper! Thanks for sharing and safe sailing 👏❤️👍
She sure is looking pretty 😍
A very nice job with the cleaning and painting of the hull!!
It really did turn out great! Thanks :)
Haveto say Parker, the c,ean facial look is very good on you
I loved my long hair, but I sure am glad to have short hair again, and I do think I look better with it, and a cleanly shaved face 😎 Thank you!
Hey guys, finally caught up with the episides. I contacted you thru FB this week. Very nice to get an answer. Hihi this episiode started good with all the stupid blurps youtube forces you to..😄 Ok now let's wath the episode 😋
Hey Johnny! Yes on with the episode! Haha! Hope you like it 😁
Nice EP guys. That red bottom color looks great, same with, the prop, your hearcut and 2 new tat's on the right untherarm arm off Katy. Hope i didn't skipped an episode off that .
I was just wandering on the side off the vessel above the bottom paint, iet seems yhere are ribbles in them as oof it is wouden planks? it is cleary visible in your fitst communitu photo from 5 months ago. Is that estethic or really woud?😁@@SailingSeawind
It is fiberglass but has lines molded into it that make it look like wood 😄
Well done..in many ways and subjects..and complete back in the dock🎉😅❤
A one stop shop video! 😂
"Long slow sweeps with the sanders.. you will like it. Great freaking music! New to your channel, embrase the suck.. you bought it, you name it. Is sailing...Thanks
Thanks Greg! Glad to have you here and thanks I love picking the music for different parts of each video.
Now Boundless is a beauty !! Awesome job !!
She sure is! Thanks 😊
Awesome job, and katie is so cute i can't help but watch!!
She’s the cutest!
Ok we're going to need to see some underwater video of that reconditioned prop in action, see if overdrive really works ha ha ha
Hmm I’ll have to think about how to film it!
@SailingSeawind at least let us know, you don't have to film it hahaa
@@doncritzer2798fair enough 🤣🤣🤣
Great episode guys. Looking forwarding to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done! I'm sure she'll be a good girl with you at the helm.
Thank you! 😊
Good one guys. Well done, enjoy watching your journey. :)
Thanks so much!
I’ve done that job on a 10M Pearson, and I swore I will never do that job again, you guys are gangster 😂
It was a grueling two days in the Panama heat that’s for sure 🤪
Great work effort she's looking beautiful 😍
Thank you so much 😊
A wonderful episode! Congratulations !
Thank you so much!
4 your propeller try hydrochloric acid It Wil Not remove any metal.
That is what we used to clean it in the end, and it worked great!
Grateful much love
❤️
really pretty hull.. and boat.
Thank you! She really has some beautiful lines!
Good job! The boat looks great. 👍✌️
Thank you! Cheers!
On/Off Hull cleaner next time instead of the acid. Does the same thing but far far better. It wont eat into anything and it will make all the barnacle bases REALLY soft. and then you can just wipe them off.
Some other people suggested something like that too. Next time I’ll give it a try 😊
What a big job,great work
It was a LOT of work but worth it!
I have the exact same Henschel hat!!!
Next time you should use a flapper wheel when you are stripping your propeller. It is less destructive, but just as effective.
We have some flapper wheels! I’ll try that next time for sure
Great job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
best thing you can get is a hooka rig, makes hull and prop work fun and safe.
I’ve always thought about looking into one!
makes a BUNCH of suff actually fun and cheap!@@SailingSeawind

Hello from Hubbard Ohio
Hello! 👋🏼
Lets go sailing.
Whoop! 💨⛵️
Migraines? Chiropractic and magnesium supplements. I'm a commercial airline pilot and sailor newbie
Nice hair cut .
Thank you 😊
I hear psilocybin (magic mushrooms) help people with cluster headaches which is on the extreme end of migraines. Would not do it at sea though
Nice video but I have to wonder if you are missing the NW PA winters yet.
Not yet! 😁
I have a question: Why not apply a coat of primer paint before applying the antifouling?
We painted the new antifouling over existing antifouling of the same type/brand. No primer necessary for overcoating after sanding. There is however an epoxy barrier coat (primer) underneath all of the antifouling paint
Please watch Tom Cundliffe’s video regarding prop speed. It’s overpriced and does not work. He only has 50 years of sailing experience!
Boat is looking good, good luck to you both and much love ❤
I will check it out, thank you! It sure does seem overpriced....
My daughter had them 2 to 3 times a week, she did botox and she hasn't had one in years
I think I heard of that once. Glad it worked for her! Thanks for input 😊
MIGRAINE.... as I'm sure you know, people get migraines due to the weirdest things - I'm a full time sailor and I used to get absolutely debilitating, want to kill yourself migraines, thought it was the sun but turned out to be tyramine, it's in all aged/pickled foods and a bunch of other stuff - might be an idea to have a read about tyramine as it might not be what you think it is. As soon as I cut it out, my migraines disappeared 100%, it was life changing - might be worth a shot!
How interesting! We will have to look into that. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
♥️♥️🥰🥰
❤️😊
You were running a great risk not checking the hull for osmosis.
We checked the hull very well as we sanded. No osmotic blistering!
@@SailingSeawind Very well but those blisters vanish within a few hours.
For migraines soak your feet in hot water.
Interesting we will have to try that next time
Omg could you say big enough. Your boats not that big! If you can humble yourselves you could have a good channel.
@Sailingseawind *_ At **11:40** onwards, never has so much SH!T spoken by a Poppet in such a short time.... AURGH! Need to Unsub!! _*
@SailingSeawind *_ You're a family-abled channel, n't so? At **1:31** was it REALLY necessary to BLASPHEME ... I mean what has Jesus got to do with Hydrochloric Acid ..... Curb your tongue .... there are people watching who do take offense to what you said! _*
