Jinnie - Episode 4: The Keel: Part 2

In Episode 4, we continue the restoration of Jinnie’s keel. Alan is back in the workshop, guiding us through the process in greater detail and explaining the careful work involved in restoring Jinnie’s original keel. Alan talks us through glue, shoe, acetone, and keel bolts, highlighting how the team must work quickly due to the rapid curing time of the epoxy. Alan and Jamie then bring the keel up and lift it back into Jinnie, marking a major milestone in the restoration. Some of the materials featured in this episode include @WestSystemEpoxy from our friends at @Marineindustrial4334, general-purpose oil-based mastic, and Jamie's much-loved Snap-on spanners. If you’re interested in traditional boatbuilding, restoration, or the craftsmanship that keeps historic working boats alive, this mini-documentary is for you. 👉 Subscribe to follow Jinnie’s restoration journey.
