Diary of a STEEL BOAT owner: what's causing this blistering? - Episode 69

Picking up on day two of our haul out, we uncover the truths below our waterline. For the second year in a row, the blistering on our hull demands our attention. Why has it returned so soon after the last treatment? Backed into a corner with weather and time constraints, we seek answers from the community around us. Electrolysis, galvanic corrosion, stray current, anode calculations, sandblasting - we explore all possibilities as we continue to learn. Join us this episode as we apply what little experience we have as novice sailors to get our 45 year old steel sailboat back into the water - ASAP! ABOUT OUR BOAT: - Innerbloom. Previously named Nui. We took off a letter and added a few. Innerbloom is a homage to a song beloved by us from an Australian electronic band, Rufus Du Sol. - 1985 Joe Adams design. 35ft. Steel. Fin keel. Sloop rig. Around 12 tonnes. - Aft cabin, centre cockpit and a v-berth brimming with tools, equipment and vitamins for Sonya. We’re a little behind on our videos - we’re just having too much fun!
