S1 E32 Slefuirea suprafețelor și șlefuirea corpului (Republica Dominicană)



A fost un vârtej puternic, mai ales în mijlocul acelui praf de barcă pe vremea dominicană. Am scos barca pe 1 septembrie 2023. În prima săptămână am început să șlefuiesc părțile superioare. Am așteptat până pe 22 septembrie când m-am hotărât să mă apuc eu de șlefuit carena. L-am terminat pe 29 septembrie, am clătit barca pe 30 și am zburat în SUA pe 1 octombrie. Dacă știi chiar și puțin despre locurile de muncă de jos, vei ști că acesta este doar începutul unui mare proiect. Încă trebuie să termin de pregătit carena și să las blisterele să se usuce, iar apoi voi începe repararea carcasei.

    LOVE to you from Australia ⛵🦘🇦🇺🌹

  3. Thats such hard work in tropics. I have done it many times. My last time i paid for the bottom paint removal here in thailand on my 37 footer. It took 5 guys 5 days. And cost 300.00. Best money i ever paid.

  4. Amazing job – I've watched quite a few sailing channels working in the yard over the course of years in some instances, and I'm amazed at the amount of progress you've made in a few short months. Kudos! 😎

  5. To get a better look at the depth of cracks, wipe the area with acetone. If you've not reached the bottom of the crack, it will show clearly. Generally, if you have cracks in gelcoat 90% of the time they go down in the laminate and you want grind out to the bottom of the crack or it will reappear. If the paint was in good shape there really was no need to take it all off all over, so long as the chalk was off and the entire surface was roughened for primer. Are you going to roll and tip? You can actually roll and tip Awlgrip, but at Marina Tropical in the variable sun, heat and humidity it's going to be really tough to get the thinning right. Isaac has a guy who sprays and does a decent job. While it's expensive, the finish will last 10x as long as you doing it yourself.

  6. That's some hard bloody going right there. Once you hit the zone though it's not so bad in the thick of it. it's the making yourself start again and put all the gear on the next day, that's how it is for me anyway.
    thanks again for bringing us all along this journey, pay no mind to the pin heads with smooth brains living boring lives whom have nothing better to do than talk shit to strangers on the internet. You're living with courage and purpose that few possess but many aspire to.

  7. May have already been addressed in other comments but I do a lot of work on fiberglass boats and those cracks you see look like stress cracks or perhaps failure of the gelcoat. Gelcoat doesn’t last forever and UV light can really decrease it’s flexibility. Thus it starts to crack under any pressure or bending (even with thermal expansion/ contraction). If you aren’t seeing failures in the fiberglass, you are good replacing the gelcoat with something like TotalBoat fairing compound or on a larger area, an epoxy barrier coat. The only way to fix it completely as far as I know is a complete sand off of the gelcoat and apply a new gelcoat layer. It’s not as much fun as it sounds, though. But again, grinding the worst cracks down and applying fairing compound or an epoxy barrier coat will be a good fix to get you a lot of nautical miles behind you. Keep at it! Love seeing the progress in this great boat.

  8. You needed leather work gloves, also where those fasteners have rust stains flowing down be aware of rust jacking.👍⛵️🌊☠️
