S-a ajuns în acel punct de carenaj în care în cele din urmă ne-a rupt. Simțim că suntem într-o buclă nesfârșită de a face același lucru zi de zi fără a face progrese. Sincer să fiu, suntem siguri că se întâmplă… este foarte greu de văzut. În timp ce Matt a terminat procesul în general, am avut speranțe foarte mari să lucrez în capul nostru de oaspeți, crezând că era aproape terminat… doar pentru a afla că nu sunt nici pe departe atât de aproape pe cât mi-am imaginat. Și gândul de a trece prin și de a relua întregul proces, în sfârșit, m-a făcut să plâng. (Reprodus pentru cameră) În zonele în care facem un mic progres, Matt arată pașii prin care parcurge pentru a obține linii drepte unde vor fi plasate ornamentele noastre din lemn de esență tare de stejar alb, astfel încât atunci când mergem să facem ușile, să fim neajustând *acele* pentru a se potrivi cu spațiul. Aceasta înseamnă să luăm chitul nostru structural din poliester și să umplem micile goluri, astfel încât ornamentele și eventual ușile să se potrivească fără prea multă muncă suplimentară. De asemenea, Matt oferă o explicație rapidă a motivului pentru care nu vom instala electronice chiar de îndată ce ne-am gândit (și nu are nimic de-a face cu carenajul!!) Sperăm să vă placă!

Fairing a yacht is tougher than sticking a wet noodle up a panthers ass
Nothing is ferfect Finnish what the eye can see, most of all take time out for yourselves , you are climbing a mountain here and this takes time. Love to you both go get dark and cloudy .
Having never built a boat, sanded more than two square inch of fairing compound in one go or in fact crawled into a cupboard to do (plenty of) crying, I can’t give any advice (although I would also think that 95% is good enough in most areas). But I am glad that you had a day off and went for a hike, because I know well enough that the emotional drain gets worse without good breaks! Good luck for the return to fairing!
At some point you need to say good enough
This channel is great but it’s also shown me that building a boat is maybe not the best option for me personally. Keep up the good work legends. You are so close to full paint and fixtures
Consider putting the first coat of fairing compound on with a notched trowel. It takes considerably less time to sand down. Subsequent coat(s) fill in the grooves.
I was really hoping that the "Cry in the Cupboard" was the opening of an April Fool's joke… Thanks for the reenactment! You guys are doing great, keep it up!
Probably a stupid question. But, have you guys considered hiring a professional to come in for a week or 2 and get a ton of that fairing done for you? They would probably be worth their weight in gold and give you guys a burst forward.
Edit: I respect the hell out of both of your determination and resilience, and your marriage for that matter. Most couples can't handle a bathroom remodel let alone building a boat. I applaud both of you. 👏 👏
Can you please please please take us to the Mexixan Restaurant in June!!! Please Please Please!!🥰
Could there be an issue with technique or tools or products on the fairing? I could never do a project like this so I am definitely not saying this in a mean way, but it seems like you're having to put in more effort than is reasonable. Is there another tool that may have seemed like overkill for just doing one boat at first, but now that you're struggling might make sense to get? That happens to me with my car projects…sometimes the right tool makes all the difference. Could it be "perfect is the enemy of good"? It just seems like something isn't right. You guys are smart, you have some experience, and you're working your asses off…it seems like the results you want should be coming at least a little easier.
Just start painting. Your never going to get it perfect and it’s difficult to see any imperfections less than 1/8th inch. Have you thought about using lightweight facades or panels to cover bigger areas? You had one video showing a boat with paneling that looked amazing, but you wanted to go as light as possible. Maybe use the lightest materials and only in select areas to hide any imperfections you don’t like after painting?
Oh glorious sanding, you will miss it one day.
You guys need to have a fiberglass finishing party….
Well if it weren't for the dust and fumes on the up shot, the exercise you are getting is second to none for upper body stamina and heart health. I had the same feeling with my 30 footer on the hard at Tidewater on thr upper chesapeake bay. I am not trying to put a showroom piece together at all. I am hapoy just getting a coat of primer up. But structurally and for leaks thrrr are a few things i have to takecare of. I just don't have the time and trying to fit work over a two day weekend is just impossible. Septermber, October are really the only part of the year with decent outdoor working weather where chances of rain for a week are minimal then when everything is dry a shot on the weekend to do repairs.
Thank you Jessica. Not to minimize your pain, But yesterday was my wife of 42 years memorial and you trying to make yourself cry was some of the relief I needed. Please keep it up.
Wildman1932 is on the money. I was also an automotive spray-painter for a few years and we would spray on primer-filler thick (HVLP Gun), heat it and leave it a few days, guide coat it, and then use the pneumatic 16inch sander to tear it off quickly (60-80 grit). We would then go back over it with 120-240 grit on a random orbital sander to get rid of the deep scratches. Once you're done recoat it with primer, guide coat it again, a light sand with a pneumatic random orbital sander (600 grit) and you're ready for paint. We used this method on a daily basis and it is much faster than what you're doing. I would even speak to a local Automotive Spray Shop about coming out and letting you know what to do.
Maybe you should bring in a ringer, to do a huge section of fairing.
I just had to laugh, I have found fairing takes at least 3 applications….. Thinking you could do it in one go ???? not a chance…….reality bites and often it hurts.
Sounds like a job for some big photo frames and wall art.
Just remember, you're trying to do what would normally take 20 people 4 months to do (just a rough guess). So, it's a 3 year project for 2 people at least. Just have to embrace that it will take the time it needs and make strategic decisions about quality.
What's the weight difference of the all the faring materials/gelcoat vs. a thin overlay? If you saved a month of build time with your boat being 0.01kt slower due to an extra 20lbs, you could be a month ahead in your travels.
Even I've had a cry in the cupboard watching you go through all this work!
if you changed the paradigm of 'must be perfect' (resale value) to 'good enough' (character); how many hours of labor would be saved?
