This is the best video you have made. Better camera work, better editing, more progress. I can really feel your enthusiasm starting to come back. Congratulations, you are getting close now !
Excellent episode! The next one will be even better as we'll get to see the pretties! You should sand more without a tarp and vacuum attachment to piss that one guy off. Don't use safety equipment either. Just breath through your teeth and squint your eyes. 😄 😝
I've been following your sailboat restoration project since the very beginning. Your recent videos have been improving dramatically. Thank You very much for allowing all of us to watch your progress. Your calm voice tone, your 100% awareness that everything is going to end up good makes us follow your steps
When you took your little hiatus, I thought that I would never see the completion of your boat project:( Now I'm looking ahead and getting excited to see the old girl with her sails up:)
You should think about a standalone 'Tip and Roller Hull Painting" video, theyre not exactly common and should earn you a lot of hits over time That stay is the bobstay
Old sailors formula for varnishing raw wood. 3-2-1 3 part mineral spirit, 2 part boiled linseed oil and 1 part of oil based marine spar varnish. This dries very fast, so you can do 3 or 4 coats in 1 day. Second day, 2-2-2. At least 2 coats immediately after each other. Third day, light sand. 1-2-3 This will take longer to dry but you can put on more than 1 coat during the day as long as the previous coats are not completely cured. If you want more coats, drop the mineral oil. It's only purpose is to speed drying. Multiple coats on boiled linseed oil are very slow to fully cure. In cool weather it could be a week or more.
I would recommend you keep the Bobstay (wire from bow to bowsprit). It helps keep your mast from falling back. Your coming along with it. Looking good. Keep up the good work. Give the painting a week or so and you'll be sweating your behind off. You know how the weather changes so much around here.
As you were sanding on the mast, I kept thinking penetrating epoxy, then varnish. When you finished, you said ready for varnish. How do you determine when to use the penetrating epoxy and when not to? I'm just learning about this stuff and always looking for tips!
Between the gunnel and hull you have some rough spots that you didn't fix. Is there trim that goes over those? Or are you just saying good enough? No one would fault you for that.... This has been quite the project.
I have seen you peel off the cover on the fresh fiberglass several times and remember you saying how the new process was a game changer. Any chance of showing how it is applied? This boat is is really looking good.
Nice one! Great video to get me through the work week, then off to my own rebuild boat project. Keep it up. It seems overwhelming but 1 step at a time gets you to the peak!
So, are you no going to have a bowsprit any more? If the boat was set up to have a bowsprit when she was designed, (usually meant to anchor your fore-stay and run up a jib) the bob-stay was a vital part of the system that helped counter the upward force of the fore stay. I am not being critical I am just curious what your plans since you filled the hole and repaired the area where the bob stay was anchored on the bow. By the way you are doing some excellent work on her!
It was not original. The only thing that was holding the stay was a bent washer on the inside of the hull and no sealant. so it was just an open hole. definitely not a factory install!
@@SailBros That makes sense. The stainless strap you have at the top of your bow looks almost identical to mine where my fore stay is attached. Good call glad you filled and repaired...not a good place for water to be coming aboard! Thanks and keep up the good work!
You really should make at least some effort to collect all the dust coming off your sanding. Put some tarps down and use a vacuum attachment for the sander.

Its a lot of work to fix a boat

Twice I just tried to wipe your profile picture off my monitor because I thought it was a hair.
those days when you are struggling to power through, go back and look at those first episodes! man you have come so far! #NiceJob

It's funny how humans project their feelings onto a thing, we're all guilty of it.
The boat has no feelings one way or another what it's called.

That stay is the bobstay
I think what you meant was a bobstay, the cable that went up to the lil sprit.
New paint keeps the winter blues away! Nice job fellas.
I live in spring, fixing to pull a28 ft Morgan on a trailer for complete refit would love to compare notes
I second that, Nice!!
Zac -& Ben,
Hard work pays off! Just look at the progress y'all have made, simply amazing!
Keep it up!!
everything looks better in slo-mo.. big improvement in quality in this vid.
That boat looks great out in the daylight and sunshine. Nice to see "my" white pelicans are making their way south. Thanks for the fun.
The infinite story of sanding. However great job guys!
The burning tree after erasing the name was a cool effect. :) Good Job
Very well done video and superb work on restoration of this beautiful classic, thanks for sharing, you're down the hill now, all the best.
Sanding glorious sanding
Someone got a new camera for Christmas
You need to use a board sander to fair the hull
why did you burn that tree???
You are getting there. Probably feels endless the jobs that need to be done for completion. I know that is the way I feel on my boat.
That exactly how if feels. I just try not to think about the project as a whole.
@@SailBros me too, I just keep chipping away at it. Hopefully, I'll be ready for spring launch in April. You are doing great.
It’s so nice to see such good progress,easy to start projects very difficult to stay dedicated and Finnish them,keep going it’s starting to look great
I hope they kept and remounted the old manufacturer's plaque.
Still have it! Haven't remounted it yet but will once the bulkhead has been varnished.

She's a pretty little thing. Your doing an admirable job of keeping her alive. Great work man.

I found a foot one half flex sanding block did a great job leaving a straight finish on the hull, same for the mast. Looking great guys !
Works moving forward nicely!
Noice
Great job! Slowly but surly the old lady will sail again...
Hey Bros you guys live in San Leon?
No. Just go there for parts sometimes. Closer to Baytown.
She's coming along nicely.
Have you considered using awlgrip’s allwood instead of varnish for your mast, much longer lasting
I'll check it out!
yay cant wait for her to get in the water
Great work. She will look wonderful when done. What will you use to paint the cove stripe?
Gold foil? Or maybe gold paint?
Thanks! I was thinking gold paint.
Between the gunnel and hull you have some rough spots that you didn't fix. Is there trim that goes over those? Or are you just saying good enough? No one would fault you for that.... This has been quite the project.
Rub Rail
Don't forget to do a proper re-naming ceremony! Don't splash her with the new name uncovered!
There will definitely be a ceremony!
I have seen you peel off the cover on the fresh fiberglass several times and remember you saying how the new process was a game changer. Any chance of showing how it is applied?
This boat is is really looking good.
Sure, I'll film it nest time. Thanks!

Awww. Hearts.
Great Job and nice TJ, by the way. We have an 04' Rubicon.
Sweet. Thats Ben's jeep.
What’s the new name?
Looking great!
Best video yet!

Peter Kacandes Looks like he did have a vac hose on the sander at one point.
I do! I had the vac attached at all times for sanding the topsides. I'm not worried about wood dust getting on the ground! Thanks for watching
