In all seriousness I think you guys need an AirBNB for a week or two. Living on the boat during this looks very difficult and you could use a break. I can imagine how much time you spend just moving stuff around.
You are SO RIGHT!!! I’m glad it comes across on camera the conditions were in currently lol. And it’s only gotten worse over time 😂😂 Living on the Hard is HARD. Glorified camping, having to put shoes and clothes on to go to the bathroom up&down a ladder… just a few of the fun things lol. Please feel free to donate to the cause!!! We have Patreon, Buy us a Beer, or simple e-transfer/paypal available 😉😉😉 we’ll make good use of any contributions I guarantee ya !!
You guys work hard. I thought I could be the Hardwork King! But no. You go several leagues more than I need to (Spent a lorra lorra time updating and repairs to my Feeling) Looking forward to Pt.2. Keep the Glucose UP. David
How’d you know 7 is my (Christin) lucky number ?? Haha That was the first digits of my car license plate back in the day when I lived on land. 7 is lucky :)
Hey Christen and Jeff, I know you folks have started using epoxy, but you could still switch over to polyester resin. I estimate that the glass fabric (1708) , epoxy resin, fillers, and paint (quality , durable, 2 part marine stuff) will be in the order of $3000. Conversely to do the same with polyester resin / gelcoat (way more durable than any paint will ever be) and 1.5 oz CSM would be around $1000. Also, remember that once you do a job like this in epoxy, every subsequent repair that comes in contact, will also demand epoxy, (whether you like it or not) or removal of the epoxy to use polyester.

Hey Rod thanks much for your comment ! You have some great points in there for sure that are helpful for us + everyone else reading! There is so much info online regarding polyester vs epoxy / if polyester will bond to old polyester or not etc etc etc , it’s been complicated trying to navigate “which way is best” but ultimately we have decided to go the epoxy route. Since we’re pretty deep into the project at this point and have more thoughts than at the beginning … would we choose to do epoxy again instead of polyester? Thats a question and debate for a wrap up video at the end of this project for sure! We want to learn gel coat repairs soon! We have some small little areas to address later .. there’s always something isn’t there 😂😂 Hope you’re well!
Yes that’s our plan - to have a platform to raise it up from the deck - we mentioned it in the vid ! Next episode we’ll be laying up the glass making the platforms 👌👌
Why would you never have thought friction creates heat? You never rubbed your hands together? Or used a brake? Quick tip here...go get a grade 8 nut of the propper size for that galled up bolt thread. Often if you slowly work that nut down it can ream the threads useable again.👍
Thanks ! Glad you’re finding a benefit from it :) Lolol that’s our authentic Caribbean fish trap that was made for us from a local friend in Bequia :) I believe the info on it is in the ‘new crew’ episode ! Or the one before or after I don’t remember. Watch them all! Haha
Good, good, the leak in the electrical cabinet looks familiar. That's how it is supposed to be. Have you taken a look at the copper wires in the electrical cabinet and especially in the cockpit locker? In the cockpit locker my wires were 30% white powder, 40% brown powder and about 30% copper or similar 😂
We had the leak in the electrical cupboard because of the scupper drain on deck wasn’t sealed properly at the time ! Sorry we weren’t clear on that in the video. Jeff has re-wired the entire boat !! Back in 2020. If you wanted to see what we were workin with, head back to our earlier videos and have a look!
@@sailingjoco what? Of course it was leaking before that, now it just leaks more. Whete did you get that info of Divinycel H60 being the one that Rassy is currently using? Did they answer from HR Parts? Also, it might be that I'm mostly commenting in case YT algorithm likes it.
No, it wasn’t leaking at all before lolol ! The scupper drain hole on top deck was leaking because we took the drain fitting out and covered with tape (but that was before we knew about aluminum tape which is ACTUALLY waterproof!) Thank you for the extra comments 😂😂 We learned that info from a friend who had their whole core done on their HR50 at Adams Boat Care and she contacted them and asked what is used for new HRs nowadays. Thanks for th questions , I will try to add these info pieces into the next video !!
A VERY interesting episode, peeking in under the “upper skin” of the HR352! You are doing a great job. You will be extremely pleased once it’s done! One thing about the chainplates though, don’t you think it is a good thing to allow for some play between the chainplates and the deck, and use a flexible sealant in between? I believe there are vibrations and strain from the rig that may cause cracks over time if the chainplates are fastened in direct contact with the fibreglass. What’s your take on that?
Yeah we will 100% have sealant around the chainplates for movement allowance ; the platforms we are gonna put in are essentially just a ‘collar’ to raise up the entrance slot to the chainplates itself to prevent water from being able to flow across the deck and potentially into any gaps. Plus it looks nice 👌 in the next episode we’ll be making the fiberglass platform pieces! Hope that answers your question. Thanks for the props, it’s a huge scary long job but you’re right we will be so proud of ourselves afterwards :)
Ohhhh, I totally read your comment as if you could tell me all of the screws that were in there because you’ve done the job before and counted them before. Now I see what you actually meant lol clever. Thanks for watching !
Putting the core back in one piece doesn’t make it any stronger.Lot easier to put back together when laminating it.A lot of builders cut the core in small square like 4 or 6 inches.

When you put the stainless chain plate bolts 😮back in use brass nuts.
I can’t see how you can stay on the boat I know there is fiberglass dust all over everything.Baby powder is some help for itching.You guys are tough

1,126 screws. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you much !! We’ll add your guess to the running list - so happy with all the guesses !!
Ahhh , the cruising life, working on your boat in beautiful places.
Haha yup !!! Hopefully this will be the last time in a boatyard for a long time !!
I knew HR used divinicell in the 382, now I know they did in the 352 as well. Thanks.
You’re welcome , glad to be of service to tear our boat open hahhaa ! 👌💪
THIS is the repair I wanted to see you do.... truly great work here, and GREAT choice on the foam you picked. Closed cell is your friend ;)
Thanks so much !!! It’s a TON OF WORK!!! Hard to keep up with editing with all this going on but glad you’re enjoying :)

Every boat is “special” and needs a lot of attention don’t they ?! Sailing: the most expensive way to go somewhere for free haha⛵️
Rod Brandon - 1357 screws
Thanks for the guess !!!
I would say 777 screws. Cheers, Richard
How’d you know 7 is my (Christin) lucky number ?? Haha

You should actually put G10 on top too raising it1/2 inch ,thus not allowing water running along the deck to enter the chain plate ever

I appreciate seeing this process. What's with the makeshift chicken wire and stick cage your windlass is sitting on?
Thanks ! Glad you’re finding a benefit from it :)
Lolol that’s our authentic Caribbean fish trap that was made for us from a local friend in Bequia :) I believe the info on it is in the ‘new crew’ episode ! Or the one before or after I don’t remember. Watch them all! Haha
685 screws
Ohhh a low number - well see what happens ;-)

976 Screws is my guess

Oh, and I forgot about the screws. My guess is 1643 screws in total 😅

Thanks for the guess !! Lots of guesses coming in, love it !
1255 screws....
Excellent guess !! Will keep ya posted :)
Hey Guys : Well I can tell you exactly how many screws are in that container. All of them. :)
Hahahha - are you a member of our teak deck removal club ?!?! 😂👌💪
Not sure what the core removal club is but I am subscribed and always like. Your videos are fun and hard work. I enjoy them. :)
Ohhhh, I totally read your comment as if you could tell me all of the screws that were in there because you’ve done the job before and counted them before. Now I see what you actually meant lol clever.
Thanks for watching !
1851
Nice guess AND first comment !!
Will keep ya posted :)
800
Thanks for the guess !!
I reckon 915 screws
Excellent thank you for the guess ! Will let ya know in the next episode !
Putting the core back in one piece doesn’t make it any stronger.Lot easier to put back together when laminating it.A lot of builders cut the core in small square like 4 or 6 inches.
Good to know! So many ways to do the same thing it’s confusing sometimes lol
