D'oh, I knew I would get bitten by this sailing bug. So the story goes like this... ... I spoke to a friend who knows someone who knows another chap who has an old boat he doesn't want. Did I want to go and buy it off him for a bargain as he's looking to get rid of it. So of course I couldn't help myself. But, and what a bargain I got. I end up with an old Large folding Seahopper boat, with almost unused 2-stroke engine, oars and a bag of accessories including an anchor, handles, bow spray cover and some old ropes too for less than £500. The boat needs a little bit of work and i'm sure the motor will need a service but all within my capabilities so there we go. Anyway, here's me with the new boat and starting to restore it. 00.00 Intro to the new boat 00:18 Removing the Oarlocks 02:17 Tightening up the Daggerboard box 03:34 Sanding the bottom 06:53 Glueing a losse panel 08:44 Prepping for painting 09:05 Checking the glue 05:56 The 3 paints i'm using
