How to do your own Fiberglass repairs and Insulating cabins (Part 2)

This week we complete the fiberglass work around the mast. In last weeks episode (https://youtu.be/J4DvqD9YRZc) we showed what the repair was, identified the steps to prep for the job, filled some of the wood with thickened epoxy and created the shape needed to lay the new glass from the deck up onto the mast step. When cured, we also showed how to clean up the jagged edges from a raw fiberglass layup. This is a practical how-to for any do it yourself on a boat. We all have some tasks that we can likely tackle on our own with a bit of persistence and patience. See the step by step guide process here and in the first video (Part 1 is located Here https://youtu.be/J4DvqD9YRZc) In addition to the deck work, we check to see how well the repair is keeping it dry down below (yay!!). We also show how we are testing insulation options for the condensation issue when living aboard in colder weather. Lastly, we show a ceiling (overhead) option we are considering for the staterooms and interior. Keywords: How to Fiberglass, How to Epoxy, Epoxy or Poly, Leaking around the mast, Insulating the hull, how to reduce condensation on a boat, how to replace the ceiling in a boat.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
