WE ALMOST SANK 5 TIMES!! How to repair large sections of hull when you run aground. (S1E2)
Have you recently run aground? Do you have holes in your boat? This video might be for you! In this episode, we show off our wood patching and paint removal skills in greater detail. Same as last time, please excuse or rough editing and videos during session 1 😁 If you are new, check out our other videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg2UHSaE8S24ExYjjZaOS4b0PjzIbc-11 Best names for our hole? - Cash Flow - Money Pit - Seathrough - Keel-holed - Swim-Up Bar Quick Notes: Paint Removal - We mentioned 3-4 hours to sand about 30 sqft, just a note that is 3-4 hours of sanding time after treating and scraping 2 layers of Jasco. Also, Amanda is not using and paint remover on the white areas of the hull as she is still maintaining about a 10sqft/hr pace. Wood Patches - plywood is supposed to have a 12:1 taper while fiberglass is closer to 8:1. This taper prevents the patch from being pushed in under great pressure. patches do not need to fit perfectly, but you want to try to match them as best as possible to get the most adhesion. while using bare wood, be sure to treat exposed wood with resin prior to placement to maximize adhesion. A big thank you to the sailing community this far, we have had enormous amounts of support and cannot be grateful enough! We have some great stories to share next week about how incredible these people are! Like our content?
