SAILBOAT REFIT - beautifying our boom | Ep. 33

SAILBOAT REFIT - beautifying our boom With only 2 weeks left till we go back into the water, we desperately needed to get moving with one of the major jobs on our to do list… sanding and painting the mast and boom so we can put them back! Half the battle with a job like this is setting it all up, masking the parts you don’t want painted as well as setting up scaffolding and a tarp around the whole lot to make sure you don’t spray paint everywhere In the end we decided that it would be cheaper for us to buy a compressor and spray gun and do this job ourselves As always thanks a lot for watching, we're looking forward to showing you the next episode where we finally start rebuilding the interior, plus we have a special surprise coming up! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this video please consider supporting us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caio! We are Timo and Jo, an Italian and English couple with countless ocean miles under our belts, including sailing half way around the world from Europe to Fiji! Last year we bought an Open 66 ft race sailing boat originally designed and built by the famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa, which he raced in the 1990 Around Alone & 1992 Vendée Globe (round the world single handed race known as “the Everest of the seas”), becoming the first non-frenchman to finish the race. We are currently in Fiji giving this old gladiator a new lease on life, transforming her from an ex race boat to a performance family cruiser, which we'll need to make both dog and baby proof! We’re planning to set sail again in Oct 2022, so with limited time&money we have plenty of challenges ahead to turn our dreams into reality&get back on the water!
