No need to apologize about the episode...every step is important to see...it's great that you are thorough. Love your channel...love watching every Monday.
Great explanation. I enjoyed it and your attention to detail. What type of boat do you have? Does it have a bilge keel? It not obvious from the video and I’m curious. Thanks
Your videos are pure, enjoyable because you are always happy and smiling, you have a great attitude, your talks are uplifting and informative. It is a Monday pleasure for us. Thanks you!!!!
The talk filled episode was a pleasant surprise and very interesting. There are so many aspects of restoring a sailboat that we don't understand. It's good of you to explain. Having no leaks is "extremely important!" We love what you're doing, don't change a thing!
No need to apologize. You’re doing good quality work. I think it’s perfectly appropriate to explain the process you’ve gone through to get to this point. You take pride in your work and it shows. Cheers Jeremy
No need to apologize for this episode. This has been an amazing journey with you so far. You are the best thing about the internet. You make me miss my days at sea. I look forward to video of your time at sea aboard your beautiful sail boat.
Impressive job on repairing the drain system...your boat/ship/vessel is beautifully restored. Love watching a lovely couple work together to achieve a goal...
I love the fact you are exposing how highly skilled the Brazilian technicians are that are helping you on your journey. Doing a refit at the Boatyard you are at is clearly a very good idea.
The compliment each other so well. I have noticed from time to time Roberta will laugh at Duca for some of the things he does and says. I'm convinced that women tend to love a man who can amuse them from time to time. My brother and sister-in-law have been married almost 50 years. She's always laughing at him.
I love listening to you two...very informative...logical...and practical....and the way you interact with other....so kind, attentive, respectful, considerate.......a good partner is imperative in life and when you both share the same dreams and work together to make them a reality it is a pleasure to watch and follow....
not boring at all, nice to know all the little things that will make this a fine sailing vessel, cant wait till its in the water, you two have done excellent work, and it will pay off in the long run.
I think by the time you get done with this retrofit you're going to have a boat that is better than new! I love all the work you put into this, it's really awesome. You two are amazing.
This one just shows one of the many, many jobs that you have completed that no one will ever see or know about without watching your channel. I appreciate it because my boat projects where many and similar and only I know what went into my them. Well done again on taking us on your journey.
This was an EXCELLENT video! Such a critical issue that you thought through and found a solution to. It is exactly that research and thinking that is resulting in such a fabulous boat. The best sailing channel around.
I love when you explain all of these troubles you run into. I think those pipes will last a lifetime! They are so thick and I know replacing all the valves was very expensive but with all the above water pipes replaced you will never have a problem. Are you planning to go around the world or just enjoying this boat locally? Love your videos and your English is much better! And you have the cutest wife on UA-cam! 👍
Thanks for the feedback, Steven. We are replacing almost all the valves for stainless steel. The idea is to sail locally in the beginning and then to sail the world
Hi, don't apologise for talking, it's interesting to see how you solve the problems of an old boat, the gift you received is so sweet and I think it's a fitting memory of her first life.
Its so very refreshing to see the attention to detail and time you take to get it right. I follow a number of similar yacht rebuilding / adventure channels where disturbingly the trend appears to have a shortcut / half arsed approach to restoration / maintenance which nearly always ends badly. Then the boat owners complain / moan about the inevitable outcome and expect people to feel sorry for them. Your meticulous approach will ensure minimum downtime and maximise both reliability and safety. By taking all of these steps now this will result in you saving thousands upon thousands of dollars over the priod of your ownership. WELL DONE !!
I love the fact that you go into minute detail about everything. You hide nothing, and show everything. That's what makes your vlogs very interesting! I always look forward to Mondays👍 I'm from England, and I think your English is proberly better than mine!
Happy Monday! I love watching your episodes first thing on Monday while eating my breakfast, Its the perfect way to start my day! Until you are faced with these types of problems, you dont know the effort and ingenuity that is necessary to solve them. Job well done you two! Another advantage of having the valves above the water line, is if you get a clog in them from marine life or seaweed you can clear it out by just removing the hose, and using a wooden dowel to clear the pipe. I love how excited Roberta was to open the package, the smiles on your face is what makes my Monday a great one! Thank you both for bringing us these awesome videos!
@@OddLifeCrafting Hi Guys! cant wait to see what you did this week, check out my comment on your episode "Second Season explained" I think you will like it! I loved that episode!
Hey Roberta & Duca, First off, we don't think you talk too much, we love the way you take the time to explain what and why you are doing things a particular way! Another great Video... Much Love and happiness... Fred & Soraya... Indonesia...
Hello Friends. I missed you last week because I had to drive a friend to San Diego. I wanted to keep going till I got to see you to apologize for the late 'Thumbs up'. lol. I enjoyed all the explanations here because I know so little about boats. It was very helpful and I learned new stuff; always fun ; ) When we see the old footage I think "what boat is that?". Then I see your dream boats so far along & Beautiful. Cheers!
Boring? Absolutely not. This is your story and I want to see all that is happening! Good solution to those tubes. Keep on aiming for that re-float! All the best!
Caras... vocês são demais. Levei 2 anos para reformar inteiro um veleiro de 23 pés. Imagino o trabalho de vocês. Acompanho desde que compraram o barco. Boa sorte. Está ficando lindo.
When you were talking about a through hull hole, a depth sounder came to mind. I had no idea that the drains went through the bottom of the hull also. A very interesting process and thorough. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t think there is another boat in history that has required more work! You guys are absolutely killing it though. You are very hard workers. I seriously cannot wait for you guys to complete this project! She’s looking fantastic! I love the hull color. Keep up the good work!!!
Not a boring episode it is very interesting, also increased verbal communication is a more personal level of interaction for 'we who watch' and quite enjoyable.
Thank you for the explanation of the through hulls, I was curious how the transition to valves was carried out. I didn't think about having the valves so far separated from the actual penetration, but that system makes a lot of sense..... Painting them by fill was an ingenious idea, I would have made a huge mess, painting is not my strong suit, I end up with more on me than what I am painting. I actually like listening to you guys talk, your English has come a long way since you started and I love your accents. Keep up the great work.
I love these kinds of videos now and then. I wouldn’t know the first thing about restoring a boat so I appreciate the detailed explanation of not only what you are doing but why you’re doing it. I can’t wait until you guys are on the water! Much love from California. ❤️
Recently was rebuilding a 100yr old home, and the 4 inch cast iron pipe flange for the toilets is no longer available (sits in a 5 1/2" bay). So I brushed the inside of the pipe clean, then coated it twice with epoxy. Should be good for another 100yrs plus. Keep up the great work.
There is no doubt in my mind that, when you are finished with the renovation, you will know everything about your boat...and that will be very valuable in itself.
Safety is a necessity, thank you for the explanantion of the thru hulls, did not know there was a difference between the ones used on metal and fiberglass boat, good to know, great explanation, it is always a good idea to check out you pipes, my doctor checks out my pipes every few years with a scope thingy 😉😁😂🤣
Good solution to an unusual problem! It is funny how a small thing, like the inside of a pipe can become such a big concern. Happy to hear how you dealt with it!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Those pipes are called standpipes, and they are indeed great to have. Please do not replace with stainless, as you would create a galvanic corrosion opportunity, with unequal metals! You would end up with rust holes in your hull!
I thought they said they were going to use stainless seacock valves clamped to the standpipes. In that case, I think they could avoid problems by using a rubber or nylon gasket between them to prevent metal to metal contact.
Hi you two 😀 you have done so much with your boat/home for the water ! Thanks you for sharing in a way that we feel involved. You have done such a wonderful job and put in so much of yourselves. Your dream is real and I really enjoy coming along on this adventure and look forward to seeing what 2020 brings .stay safe and happy !!! 🇨🇦 Craig
Good morning you guys.......please don't ever apologize for talking a lot in a video that is as informative as this one. This was a really good one. You guys found a problem researched it and created a unique solution. Job well done. Have a great week. Stay safe and see you next week. George & Debby
even if I don't quite know what your talking about ( since I don't own a boat ) I still love watching the excitement in your guys face you can see how happy and excited you two are restoring this boat and I so do love watching that your doing a great job and surprise surprise I am learning things about boats I had no idea about so thank you for that
Hi Guys, Love the channel. I am a 69 year old boat owner who sometimes runs low on energy to get stuck in to projects or regular maintanence you folks wake me up and inspire me to get cracking and have a go. I look forward to catching up with you each Tuesday morning here in Sydney. I wish I spoke a second language as well as you manage English, Best wishes to you both.
@@OddLifeCrafting I have a 10.2m Hunter 34 built in 1984 in the US, I sail on Lake Macquarie North of Sydney and live in the Blue Mountains to the west. MY first boat was a Swanson 28 which I did keep on Sydney harbor. Your last video was really good, you explained the problems confronting you with the through hulls and how you resolved them. I look forward to the next one and wish you both well.
Just to say, I did change a seacock under water level while anchored in a remote island because of an emergency leak one time. Turned all my bilge pumps on, took out the manual pump from the locker just in case, put one of the crew in the water with a tube of 3M5200 and removed the old seacock. Then I put a wood plug for a short scary minute until the person in the water cleaned the area and after applying the 5200 sealant generously, and getting very wet, we installed the new seacock. I estimate that we pumped only about 10 gallons of seawater during the process. Good job guys, seacocks are very important areas in a boat.
That was very creative problem solving. I'd have used a small coarse-grit flap-disc (like for a Dremel Tool) to clean out the standpipes instead of the brush, but, hey, whatever works! You two are a real inspiration.
Your accents sound so similar to french, at least to my ears -- it reminds me of my childhood. =) You both could be models you are very attractive and come across as very humble yet capable people. Thank-you for being entertaining but more importantly for being fantastic role-models. I appreciate that we viewers can vicariously 'live our dream' through your videos, but also learn about processes that we may need to tackle in the future once it is our turn to fix up our own boats ( Hopefully ! ) .. Thank-you for taking the time to document the process.
Don’t mind you guys talking as long as it’s interesting..Thanks for sharing problems with pipes...Iam sure it will help someone with a metal boat.....😎😎😎😎
Hey guys I'm a 20+ year piping engineer. Your pipes looked good in all the probe shots. Using a brush to descale the inner diameter was good enough since your coating engineer gave you something that would work with that. Coating the interior with the marine duty system also correct. It sounds like the builder went heavy wall carbon steel in the original construction, that was the right thing to do because matching the hull steel would not result in galvanic corrosion. The cockpit drains will see some forces imposed by the hull as the boat rocks, so If you want to be 100% sure then take ultrasonic thickness readings to get the remaining wall at various points. Not hard or expensive to do, the yard should have that ability. You could also measure the pipe wall at the through hull. Measure the inner diameter, subtract from the outer diameter and divide by two. That will give you an indication of the original pipe wall, but only at the thru hull point. All steel pipe has the same outer diameter and then the wall thickness determines the pipe schedule. Tubing is thin walled compared to pipe and the OD would match the nominal size. The heaviest corrosion point will always be on the inner diameter at the waterline. That's where an ultrasonic gage helps. If the remaining wall thickness is schedule 40 or greater, you should be pretty good for several seasons. Anything less than schedule 40 is something you want to think about inspecting annually. Less than 1/8" wall I would replace. If you have Schedule 80 or XXS left, then those pipes will probably outlast your ownership of the boat. The builder probably started with one of the two. Enjoy your series. Keep up the good work!
@@danaskubic2145 Anytime. You had it 90% covered when you realized it should get a specialized coating. Mechanical integrity of the down pipes should be fine based on wall. If you want to overkill it, you can visually inspect the welds to the inside of the hull for cracks with a die penetrant too. Love your content!! Keep up the good work. Regards, John.
Thanks for the tip, John. We are here in the marina for 7 months and we are still trying to find the ultrasonic thing to measure the pipes and the hull but we don't know where to find it. We asked around, we tried to search for the service online, and nothing, we couldn't find it
Check this link: ua-cam.com/video/KCb4uKmJBBQ/v-deo.html Wow I'm surprised the boat yard doesn't use one for all those fiberglass hulls. Here in the U.S. ultrasonic meters are heavily used by inspectors at chemical plants, steel mills, refineries, and pressure vessel fabricators. This is because in the US all welded pipes and pressure vessels that contain flammable or hazardous liquids require routine inspection to determine when the wall of a vessel, pipe, or tank is near what is called it's retirement limit. Probably the same where you are or very similar. The meter allows you to get the local wall thickness from outside the pipe/vessel even when hot. You might be able to borrow or rent a meter from someone who deals with industrial inspection services and/or welded pipe or pressure vessel fabrication. Probably even a boat inspector. Maybe check a nearby industrial shipyard... Last resort you could just get a cheap one off Amazon (the generic unit in the video goes for $81.49) Hope that helps, good luck!
You guys are doing an excellent job. This was a great vlog. I had no idea about the drain pipes or how to fix that problem. Don't apologize for what you post. Look at it this way. If we were old friends and dropped by the boat. You would invite us aboard for a cup of coffee and a cookie. We would sit around and talk about different things about the boat, different ways and ideas on how you fixed problems. This vlog is just us sitting around talking without the coffee. Keep up the great work.
You have now a very good boat. You have made a marvelous work. It's a pleasure for me to follow you from France. Be lucky and courageous like actually all your life !!!!
Not a boring video at all you 2 it was a great video I need to know all these little problems you have then when you get her into the water it will be even more special.
Muy buena explicación a la solución de limpieza y protección de las tuberías de desagüe. Es un vídeo interesante que nos ayuda a resolver problemas parecidos. Gracias y adelante con vuestro bonito proyecto.
Chicos que buena idea el cepillo cilindrico a medida y el taladro para limpiar las tuberias! Seguro muchos tomaran nota de este truco.Muchas gracias buena idea!
Odd Life Crafting the pleasure is all mine, you guys are a rare gem stones 💎 it’s very difficult to find a real channel like yours this days on UA-cam thank you for teaching us a lot for the past two years I watch you guys every video from the container house to the boat and I learn a lot, what you guys are doing is not something you see on UA-cam keep it up much love from Dubai 💯💕💕
I found this very interesting. I know nothing of sea going sail boats but am very interested in them . I really enjoy your videos no matter how boring you think they are.
next time you need to sand a pipe take a wood dowel rod long enough, cut a slit in the end and rap a some sand paper from a belt sander around the end and use your drill
As said, sand paper in a dowel or buy flap wheels that are designed for the job? I would have taken the Pedro cup and brazed an old metal drill across opposing slots and then ground the drill ends to a cutter shape to a very slightly smaller diameter than the pipe interior. The cutter will remove rust at a good rate, much better than the SS wire pipe cleaner. A final finish can be achieved with a small hone used for reboring/cleaning vehicle brake piston bores that is spring loaded. Your painting solution is good if wasteful. You can get flexi spray heads on tubes that spray sideways specifically for interior painting of this type. All of this is a bit late now but you can keep it for future reference? Please keep up the job, you are doing a fabulous job
@@clivewilliams1406 Actually for anyone who has this issue in the future my suggestion would be to use a brush like they did to get the really bad stuff off and buy a cylinder hone and run that down there. It's made to sand engine cylinders but it would work perfectly for this. It will leave sanding marks as an engine needs those marks to let oil lubricate the surface between the rings and the cylinder wall but I don't think that would be an issue.
Hi guys I was watching your videos and saw when you installed the vent on one of your hatches for extra ventilation. That was a great addition to your boat, but I was wondering if you are aware of a solar vent which has a built in fan that runs off the small solar panel on top of the vent. They work very well and are not that much more expensive. It can really make a difference. I installed a couple on my boat an it made a better difference below deck changing the air. I loved that they ran off the sun, so it didn't drain you batteries.
i have been looking at these videos for a while know and i believe that you can't fix every thing perfectly giving the age of the boat also some things could be reworked like those valves sometimes things look worse than it really is.
An engine cylinder hone would have worked perfectly to prep them tubes, Again! Too late.. but what you did do if perfectly fine aswell.. you probably would have Destroyed many of the stones, doing it.. but they are cheap.. getting the feeling you don’t need secondhand advice, because everything you are doing is fine.. you guys are members of youtube sailing channels (Facebook group) please take advantage of them in “up coming projects” If you like, many are actually engineers, plus we have have a few members who are actually rebuilding steel sailing boats.. kind regards Trev!
Odd Life Crafting, They make them to fit all sizes, It’s the same tool you use on brake master cylinders ect ect.. but you got it sorted anyway! Good job..
He's just saying you are introducing a new vulnerability unnecessarily. As long as the stand pipes are good then there is no problem. Thru hulls dont fix a problem that doesn't exist but they do introduce a new option for sinking. Why would they want that?
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! The Plaque is awesome looking BUT ITS BAD LUCK TO HAVE THE FORMER NAME OF THE BOAT ON A RENAMED BOAT!! Poseidon will not like it. It’s beautiful, but please, please, please leave it on shore!

Those pipes are called standpipes, and they are indeed great to have. Please do not replace with stainless, as you would create a galvanic corrosion opportunity, with unequal metals! You would end up with rust holes in your hull!
Thanks a lot for the word and for the feedback about the replacement
I thought they said they were going to use stainless seacock valves clamped to the standpipes. In that case, I think they could avoid problems by using a rubber or nylon gasket between them to prevent metal to metal contact.
Or use Brass as a connector between the Steel and Stainless.
@MJW or just replace with galvanised steel standpipes? Why spend more money on S/S and then add anodes? why create problems in the first place?
Just what I was thinking. With 12mm pipe the rest of the boat will probably be gone before the standpipes rust through.
It's so nice how you always explain about the different adventures you go through on the boat, it makes when you do launch we will be a part of it !

Hi you two 😀 you have done so much with your boat/home for the water ! Thanks you for sharing in a way that we feel involved.
You have done such a wonderful job and put in so much of yourselves. Your dream is real and I really enjoy coming along on this adventure and look forward to seeing what 2020 brings .stay safe and happy !!! 🇨🇦 Craig
Thanks a lot for your support and kind words, Craig. Have a great 2020.
Thank you for explaining yet another DETAIL. Congratulation on the progress.
Thanks for the support ☺️
Good morning you guys.......please don't ever apologize for talking a lot in a video that is as informative as this one. This was a really good one. You guys found a problem researched it and created a unique solution. Job well done. Have a great week. Stay safe and see you next week. George & Debby
Thanks for the support, George and Debby. 💕💕
even if I don't quite know what your talking about ( since I don't own a boat ) I still love watching the excitement in your guys face you can see how happy and excited you two are restoring this boat and I so do love watching that your doing a great job and surprise surprise I am learning things about boats I had no idea about so thank you for that
👩🏼🤝👨🏻🤗💕 thanks for the support
This had to be so hard to explain in English when it's not your first language but you both did great.
😬Thanks for the support
Great stuff! Very good to hear your reasoning and solution to the problem.
Thanks for the support
I would wait two weeks to see you two smiles!!! loving the channel
😁💕
Very interesting and educational -- you are doing it right -- solutions are well thought out and implemented -- well done!
Thanks for the support, Michael
love your channel its fun to watch because if some days im sad then i watch u vids and it makes me happy again
💕💕💕☺️😁
Hi Guys, Love the channel. I am a 69 year old boat owner who sometimes runs low on energy to get stuck in to projects or regular maintanence you folks wake me up and inspire me to get cracking and have a go. I look forward to catching up with you each Tuesday morning here in Sydney. I wish I spoke a second language as well as you manage English, Best wishes to you both.
Sydney! 💕 Do you have a boat in Sydney? We can’t count how many times we walked around looking at sailboats while we lives in Sydney in 2016 😍⛵️
@@OddLifeCrafting I have a 10.2m Hunter 34 built in 1984 in the US, I sail on Lake Macquarie North of Sydney and live in the Blue Mountains to the west. MY first boat was a Swanson 28 which I did keep on Sydney harbor. Your last video was really good, you explained the problems confronting you with the through hulls and how you resolved them. I look forward to the next one and wish you both well.
Thanks for the feedback. We miss Sydney 💕
Just to say, I did change a seacock under water level while anchored in a remote island because of an emergency leak one time. Turned all my bilge pumps on, took out the manual pump from the locker just in case, put one of the crew in the water with a tube of 3M5200 and removed the old seacock. Then I put a wood plug for a short scary minute until the person in the water cleaned the area and after applying the 5200 sealant generously, and getting very wet, we installed the new seacock. I estimate that we pumped only about 10 gallons of seawater during the process. Good job guys, seacocks are very important areas in a boat.
😱 thanks for sharing your experience with us ⛵️
That was very creative problem solving. I'd have used a small coarse-grit flap-disc (like for a Dremel Tool) to clean out the standpipes instead of the brush, but, hey, whatever works! You two are a real inspiration.
Thanks a lot for the support, John
There a lot more to a boat than a land lover, like myself would think of after seeing today adventure ( you done a great job with your boat 👍 )
I live in Kansas, heart land of USA 🇺🇸
Thanks for the support, Jim
Greetings to Kansas from Brazil
Certainly not boring but very interesting as to how you solve your problems. well done!!
Thanks for the support, Graeme 😊
Your accents sound so similar to french, at least to my ears -- it reminds me of my childhood. =) You both could be models you are very attractive and come across as very humble yet capable people. Thank-you for being entertaining but more importantly for being fantastic role-models. I appreciate that we viewers can vicariously 'live our dream' through your videos, but also learn about processes that we may need to tackle in the future once it is our turn to fix up our own boats ( Hopefully ! ) .. Thank-you for taking the time to document the process.
Thanks so much for your kind words and support 💕 Portuguese is also a latin language, that’s why it’s similar to French ☺️
You make so many people get in a good mood by watching you guys....
💕💕💕
Another really really really good video.
👍🏻👍🏻
Don’t mind you guys talking as long as it’s interesting..Thanks for sharing problems with pipes...Iam sure it will help someone with a metal boat.....😎😎😎😎
Thanks a lot for the feedback and support, Tommy
Hey guys I'm a 20+ year piping engineer. Your pipes looked good in all the probe shots. Using a brush to descale the inner diameter was good enough since your coating engineer gave you something that would work with that. Coating the interior with the marine duty system also correct. It sounds like the builder went heavy wall carbon steel in the original construction, that was the right thing to do because matching the hull steel would not result in galvanic corrosion. The cockpit drains will see some forces imposed by the hull as the boat rocks, so If you want to be 100% sure then take ultrasonic thickness readings to get the remaining wall at various points. Not hard or expensive to do, the yard should have that ability. You could also measure the pipe wall at the through hull. Measure the inner diameter, subtract from the outer diameter and divide by two. That will give you an indication of the original pipe wall, but only at the thru hull point. All steel pipe has the same outer diameter and then the wall thickness determines the pipe schedule. Tubing is thin walled compared to pipe and the OD would match the nominal size. The heaviest corrosion point will always be on the inner diameter at the waterline. That's where an ultrasonic gage helps. If the remaining wall thickness is schedule 40 or greater, you should be pretty good for several seasons. Anything less than schedule 40 is something you want to think about inspecting annually. Less than 1/8" wall I would replace. If you have Schedule 80 or XXS left, then those pipes will probably outlast your ownership of the boat. The builder probably started with one of the two. Enjoy your series. Keep up the good work!
Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing.
@@danaskubic2145 Anytime. You had it 90% covered when you realized it should get a specialized coating. Mechanical integrity of the down pipes should be fine based on wall. If you want to overkill it, you can visually inspect the welds to the inside of the hull for cracks with a die penetrant too. Love your content!! Keep up the good work. Regards, John.
Thanks for the tip, John. We are here in the marina for 7 months and we are still trying to find the ultrasonic thing to measure the pipes and the hull but we don't know where to find it. We asked around, we tried to search for the service online, and nothing, we couldn't find it
Check this link: ua-cam.com/video/KCb4uKmJBBQ/v-deo.html
Wow I'm surprised the boat yard doesn't use one for all those fiberglass hulls. Here in the U.S. ultrasonic meters are heavily used by inspectors at chemical plants, steel mills, refineries, and pressure vessel fabricators. This is because in the US all welded pipes and pressure vessels that contain flammable or hazardous liquids require routine inspection to determine when the wall of a vessel, pipe, or tank is near what is called it's retirement limit. Probably the same where you are or very similar. The meter allows you to get the local wall thickness from outside the pipe/vessel even when hot. You might be able to borrow or rent a meter from someone who deals with industrial inspection services and/or welded pipe or pressure vessel fabrication. Probably even a boat inspector. Maybe check a nearby industrial shipyard... Last resort you could just get a cheap one off Amazon (the generic unit in the video goes for $81.49) Hope that helps, good luck!
You guys are doing an excellent job. This was a great vlog. I had no idea about the drain pipes or how to fix that problem. Don't apologize for what you post. Look at it this way. If we were old friends and dropped by the boat. You would invite us aboard for a cup of coffee and a cookie. We would sit around and talk about different things about the boat, different ways and ideas on how you fixed problems. This vlog is just us sitting around talking without the coffee. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the support, Dennis. We could drink a coffee here you one could drink one where you are. Hehehe ☕️
Thanks for the support, Dennis. We could drink a coffee here and you could drink one where you are. Hehehe ☕️
Great to see you having fun and enjoying life
:0)
💕
Great video, Love the way you came up with a solution to fix it. I don't think you will have any problems at all
Thanks for the feedback, Roger
Never look at your wife again while saying “nothing’s perfect”. 😂. Just kidding..
😂😂
I had the exact same thought.. haha too funny. ;) But thankfully she doesn't seem the type to get offended by such trivialities . .
Totally agree!
Yes she’s perfect I’m jealous 👍👍
Guys guys! Duca is talking about himself not about Roberta! Just joking! Truly awesome couple!
You have now a very good boat. You have made a marvelous work.
It's a pleasure for me to follow you from France. Be lucky and courageous like actually all your life !!!!
Thanks a lot for the support, Alain
Awesome episode!
Thanks a lot, Tom
Not a boring video at all you 2 it was a great video I need to know all these little problems you have then when you get her into the water it will be even more special.
Thanks for the feedback ☺️
Water exhausting = water outlet 🤗 love your videos guys.
Thanks, Chris
Muy buena explicación a la solución de limpieza y protección de las tuberías de desagüe.
Es un vídeo interesante que nos ayuda a resolver problemas parecidos.
Gracias y adelante con vuestro bonito proyecto.
Gracias por el apoyo
Roberta: "It's like an endoscopy" - Full marks for knowing that in a second language!!!
But I understand them better, than native. Much clearer pronunsiation.
Great video! Can’t wait to see her in the water and you two enjoying your labor of love!
Thanks, Darrin💕
HAHA! I just posted "whens the next installment?" and you just posted it! Whoopeeeee! Thanks :)
🤗
Chicos que buena idea el cepillo cilindrico a medida y el taladro para limpiar las tuberias!
Seguro muchos tomaran nota de este truco.Muchas gracias buena idea!
Gracias por el apoyo, Edda
I did something similar inside a water jacket on a vintage stationary engine to seal a dodgy repair on frost damage.. It seemed to work well.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us ☺️
This was such great information, other wise we would not know about.Thank you for sharing. Love your new wood plaque
Thanks a lot, Dana
Huh finally I was waiting for this vlog all day 😭💕💕 because in Dubai now it’s already 5pm my day is complete now love you. Guys 💯💯💯💯💕💕💕
😊We always post the videos at the same time, 10AM Brazilian time. It should be every Monday 5PM in our case, my friend. Thanks for the support
Odd Life Crafting the pleasure is all mine, you guys are a rare gem stones 💎 it’s very difficult to find a real channel like yours this days on UA-cam thank you for teaching us a lot for the past two years I watch you guys every video from the container house to the boat and I learn a lot, what you guys are doing is not something you see on UA-cam keep it up much love from Dubai 💯💕💕
Had not thought about the thru-hull fittings and connections. The cockpit drain scheme seems odd. You addressed it very thoughtfully.
Thanks for the feedback, William
Sunday morning ,cup of coffee and Odd Life Crafting, who could ask for better ?
💕💕💕 ☕️ ⚓️
Sunday morning??? Someone is really enjoying MLK Jr day off!
@@evenIgiveUpwastaken This was released Sunday on Patreon
Well the 49ers winning was a close second 🤣
@@DILLIGAF65 Ok, makes sense now. LOL, Just thought the long weekend caused your days to get mixed up.
I like when you explain everything, I usually know what you are going to say but sometimes you surprise me, nice job
Thanks for the feedback and support, Eddie. ☺️
Thank You
😊
Sunny Smiles on a sunny but very cold and snow covered day. Nice to hear how you solve problems. Peace
Thanks for the support, Olenick. Have a great cold week
Looks like the paint is peeling or has fish eyes around drain holes or exhaust holes not sure what those are.
You got it!! Now you can go to the next step of the video. Hehe
I found this very interesting. I know nothing of sea going sail boats but am very interested in them . I really enjoy your videos no matter how boring you think they are.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and support, Larry
next time you need to sand a pipe take a wood dowel rod long enough, cut a slit in the end and rap a some sand paper from a belt sander around the end and use your drill
We tried to glue a piece of sandpaper on the cup Pedro did, but it didn’t work well 😞
@@OddLifeCrafting might try a sanding drum.
As said, sand paper in a dowel or buy flap wheels that are designed for the job? I would have taken the Pedro cup and brazed an old metal drill across opposing slots and then ground the drill ends to a cutter shape to a very slightly smaller diameter than the pipe interior. The cutter will remove rust at a good rate, much better than the SS wire pipe cleaner. A final finish can be achieved with a small hone used for reboring/cleaning vehicle brake piston bores that is spring loaded. Your painting solution is good if wasteful. You can get flexi spray heads on tubes that spray sideways specifically for interior painting of this type. All of this is a bit late now but you can keep it for future reference?
Please keep up the job, you are doing a fabulous job
@@clivewilliams1406 Actually for anyone who has this issue in the future my suggestion would be to use a brush like they did to get the really bad stuff off and buy a cylinder hone and run that down there. It's made to sand engine cylinders but it would work perfectly for this. It will leave sanding marks as an engine needs those marks to let oil lubricate the surface between the rings and the cylinder wall but I don't think that would be an issue.
Loved the video. No need to apologize. It’s good that you’re sharing. You never know where a great solution might come from. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, David
Siii, ya lo sé.... le falta una buena linea verde jajajaj!! 😋😋😉
😂😂😂☺️
Hi guys I was watching your videos and saw when you installed the vent on one of your hatches for extra ventilation. That was a great addition to your boat, but I was wondering if you are aware of a solar vent which has a built in fan that runs off the small solar panel on top of the vent. They work very well and are not that much more expensive. It can really make a difference. I installed a couple on my boat an it made a better difference below deck changing the air. I loved that they ran off the sun, so it didn't drain you batteries.
By the way you and your lovely wife are doing a magnificent job on the boat, what team you both make.
We have just discovered the solar ones after ordered the acrylics. So, maybe in the future when we need to change them again we can add the solar ones
Was that a patch of wet lifting the paint away about half way along the hull at 32 seconds ?
Yes!! You got it!
Good job! Very well done. I am sure the fix will last for as long as the boat is yours.
We hope they will. hehe
i have been looking at these videos for a while know and i believe that you can't fix every thing perfectly giving the age of the boat also some things could be reworked like those valves sometimes things look worse than it really is.
Indeed. Some of the valves we have just fixed and some we bought brand new stainless steel ones. ☺️
Ingenious way of painting the pipe bore - well done.
Thanks, Peter
An engine cylinder hone would have worked perfectly to prep them tubes, Again! Too late.. but what you did do if perfectly fine aswell.. you probably would have Destroyed many of the stones, doing it.. but they are cheap.. getting the feeling you don’t need secondhand advice, because everything you are doing is fine..
you guys are members of youtube sailing channels (Facebook group) please take advantage of them in “up coming projects”
If you like, many are actually engineers, plus we have have a few members who are actually rebuilding steel sailing boats..
kind regards Trev!
This is just a link to show you what a hone actually is.. not advice, just the tool..
ua-cam.com/video/XvAx3AVM7CI/v-deo.html
Thanks for the tip. We have never actually hear of this tool, but I think it wouldn't fit inside of the pipes
Odd Life Crafting, They make them to fit all sizes, It’s the same tool you use on brake master cylinders ect ect.. but you got it sorted anyway! Good job..
not boring at all. Very cool and very well explained. Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers
Cut all the pipes flush with the inside of the hull and install thru hull fittings. End of problem.
Then it’s a problem if we have any leak
John Turner not a good idea. One. Dissimilar metals. All below waterline tru hulls are brass/ brass- chrome or stainless.
Thru hull fittings I referred to are changeable. With this advantage we won’t behaving this conversation again. ‘’INTERCHANGEABLE’’
@@seangreene64 has nothing to do with like metals. They are pressure fittings.
He's just saying you are introducing a new vulnerability unnecessarily. As long as the stand pipes are good then there is no problem. Thru hulls dont fix a problem that doesn't exist but they do introduce a new option for sinking. Why would they want that?
Not a boring episode at all, very intersting like all your videos Have a great week love Paulxx
Thanks for the feedback and support, Paul
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! The Plaque is awesome looking BUT ITS BAD LUCK TO HAVE THE FORMER NAME OF THE BOAT ON A RENAMED BOAT!! Poseidon will not like it.
It’s beautiful, but please, please, please leave it on shore!
😂😂
I agree with PeteL527 - Leave the plaque at the house!
Yep You 2 have touched every good person. We all love your videos, every single word:)!
💕💕💕👩🏼🤝👨🏻 thanks a lot, James
