Distrugerea finală a lui Uma | Pasul 384

1. When we took apart our Catalina 30, it was floating high above its factory water line, and we took it out for a sail (we still had all the bulkheads) and we got it up to 8 steady knots (flat water.. no surfing) in 20 knots of wind 😅. I looked at the polar chart for it a few days ago by chance, and the top theoretical speed is something like 6-7 knots. Just saying, you may see a higher speed with a lighter boat!

2. Hi Kika and Dan, sorry to ask a dumb baked beans kinda question but what app are you using on the iPad to design your rebuild? Oh, and just so you know, your channel and Jade and Brett (Expedition Evans) are easily the best boat/sailing channels on YouTube, thank you for taking the time to share your lives with those of us who did buy a couch …. 😬

3. What about stability

4. Send that shit to the junkyard.

5. It seems like you are building an entirely new boat inside the gelcoat skeleton of the old boat. Uma is going to be a proper ship of Theseus after you are done!

6. I look back to the time you seemed to be deciding whether to rebuild Uma or move on to a different boat. I had some sense of the difficulty you would be facing with rebuilding, far afield and homeless, as I am sure you did as well. I thought few couples have the strength of character and determination to weather this level of voluntary hardship, and that it might be too much. Apparently, you are among the few, rough and tough, and made of stern stuff.

7. Do old boats have asbestos?

8. Great Gut Job! This should be good, watching your architectural skills turn into the new structural elements. With all the old bulkheads out, is there any chance of gravity, in concert with jack-stand pressures, dimpling or deflecting the hull shape before installing all the new stringers, bulkheads, ribs etc? Also, had you considered watertight compartments / bulkheads or other positive floatation?

9. This will be the biggest and best refit YouTube has ever shown👍😎

10. You should be rebuidiing a pretty boat like a swan or some of the neicer east coast older glass boat not some chopper gun daysailer (have you checked for voids).
    There will be no resale value for this boat, its still slow.

    Its fun to watch, especially how you destroy the dream of taking these production boats offshore i hope you give the cost to establish what it costs to properly take one of these old boat offshore.
    You will be in fiberglass dust till completion

11. Fun music in this one!

12. I get Kika's anxiety (14:50), mainly because – and I hate to say this – Italians are not known for doing quality work. As they say, "Italians can't build a decent car for less than a quarter million bucks." I'm not saying that's true, but I worry….

13. Not sure if it’s too late, but if you can acetone the sharpie marker off and use pencil. The sharpie will bleed through 8,000 coats of gel coat or paint… Been there before.

14. What's the cost difference between renovating vs buying a new one? I know its not all about cost, but just curious.

15. Yay! So glad that y’all are getting back to the boat refurbish!

16. I wonder if buying a new boat wouldn't it be cheaper?

17. You could have told us it was you in the protective suites doing the work and we would never have known 😂

18. Why didn’t you just buy a new boat? You could already be back in the water and sailing.

19. I this is a 50 yrs. old boat what do you think, you are doing wake up get a new boat , unless you are CON. no waves from you all all you do is fix years start sailing now all well dune all your bull shit DO NOT MAKE MT. OUT of something small ,STOP the bull shit THINK ABOUT IT . MAY god save you DO NOT TELL ME IT CHEAPER HAPPY SAILES

20. It's likely too late for this comment, but consider making the forward bulkhead and compartment water-tight. While it's not the most vulnerable part of the boat, it is the part most likely to run into a mostly submerged shipping container at night. I did hear you mention you're going to make the aft bulkhead water-tight. One more consideration along these lines: Place fire-safe, closed-cell foam in the non-used spaces. In case they ever do fill up with water, the closed-cell foam will displace most of the water, greatly increasing buoyance of the compartment.

    "It's only going to flood a hundred liters or so into this part of the boat because our water line is here…" It's there with no flooding. If you start flooding, your boat will sink much lower and your waterline will rise much higher.

    Good thing you two are artsy architects! You can draw a wiggly line between two other lines without coloring outside the lines! No way I could pull that off!

    "My heart is beating fast." So, leave! It'll slow down considerably!

21. In the mid 90s I helped a friend completely gut and rebuild an 80s era 40 foot grand prix racing sloop. It had a 3x 6 cockpit well for the crew's feet, a flush deck and stick steering. We chain sawed out the cockpit and the transom and opened a hole about 8 by 12, completely stripped out the interior as you did. We went right down to an aluminum frame in the sole that held the keel, the mast and the stays. The fiber glassed the hell out of the aluminum frame. Then we fabbed our own 4×8 carbon fiber foam core panels and used them to do the bulk heads and fab architectural parts. To make the carbon fiber panels we built an absolutely level strooong table and made a vacuum bag. We laid down sheets of carbon fiber, applied resin between sheets, laid in the foam core, more carbon fiber, then put the vacuum bag on top and sucked the air out. It was an amazing process. We must have built 100 panels. I became quite skilled at making parts by slitting panel sections to bend them into shapes and fiberglass them together. Some sailing magazine covered the project, not sure which one. Sadly, I never got to sail the final product.

22. So exciting that you are nearly ready to start rebuilding 😁
