DIY Blacking of my Narrowboat with Jotun 90 two-pack paint (2 pack) [Ep 29]

In this weeks video I cruise to the Northwich Dry Dock on the River Weaver so that my narrowboat can ‘come out of the water’ and have her bottom blacked.
This is DIY blacking and I chose to use Jotun 90 2 Pack winter grade without sandblasting as the jet wash at Northwich dry dock is extremely powerful and Jotun 90 is designed to go on services without the need for sandblasting. This video shows how we did it, the reasons why and how it all went - I hope you enjoy.

@No_Malarky Год назад

Always a big job for sure! Here on Canada`s west coast we usually "dry up" during the full or new moon phase that create the highest & lowest tides for chores like a paint job &/or changing zincs. If further repairs are needed then a "ways" must be sought out. Otherwise, one is limited to a handful of hours at best on a "grid". Tie-up lines must be adjusted constantly until keel is on the beams w/slight list against the pier. Barnacles & other sea growth make it a necessary task at least couple times@year, even goes for small boats like skiffs. Love the lifestyle!

@adamskinner5868 2 года назад

some kind of big tarp covering the boats would seem like a good idea and while u could rig it up yourself I'm surprised the folks renting out the dry-dock don't have some kind of system to keep the rain off. I mean it does rain a lot in England I'm told and it wouldn't be to hard or expensive to organize a roof of some kind. Something as simple as a large tarp held up by the crane gantry with the water running off down either side would keep it dry enough for work to continue as it rained or even build a permanent structure that can be easily removed or opened when not needed.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

The problem is there Adam, is it’s a bit of a wind tunnel, plus as liveaboards we had our fire going so the chimney was on… I know quite a few dry docks that won’t let you live on while blacking so that’s probably why 😃🏴‍☠️

@ghost307 2 года назад

You could probably clean and prep the surface under a 'roof' but when it's raining the humidity is usually too high to get the paint to cure properly.

@adamskinner5868 2 года назад

@@ghost307 still think that with boats needing blacking so often and the fact that it rains so much around there some kind of undercover facility or way to cover the boat would be a real time (and therefore money) saver, but what do I know I'm down here in the Pacific where we play in the sea ;). Canal boats do seem very relaxed n laid back, very appealing (except 4 that rain).

Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland Dry Dock Day. I've been in this dry dock before with Robbie Cumming and his narrowboat "Naughty Lass" on 1st May 2021. You three ladies did a brilliant job despite the breaks because of the terrible weather. Fabulous finished job. Bravo! I liked Jacquies technical explanation about the paints. I noticed on the wall behind her, lots of initials had been carved into the stonework. Graffiti or stone masons marks? Superb drone shots of where you were. And all those different boats - some must be museum pieces. Love the boat sign on the wall. A fantasic video, great camera work and lovely commentary. Stay safe please

@MrSeachaser175 Год назад

We just did the bottom the the boss’s 65’ Viking and his 50’ sail boat, (I’m the captain) there was four of us doing the work, we didn’t do both boats together but one week apart, we sanded both hulls, epoxied all the under water metal parts, then anti fouled both. It was hard work, dirty, filthy, nasty, and hot! ☀️🔥🥵 so I certainly know what’s involved in dry docking a boat!

@TheByard Год назад

Great job the boat looks a treat and well worth the hard work. The pleasures of owning a boat and keeping them shipshape. I've seen bargies using a hard standing and rest poles on the Thames near the tide weir. They tie up and wait for the tide to go out, then it's all hand to it for a quick scrape and slap some paint on. For me it was a lift out and the last three years I owned her she was taken out each winter and stored in a shed. Water left in the bilges so's not to dry out, this was in Yerseka, South Holland. Springtime fit out was done in days with the help of a mate, Topside paint, anti-foul and then the horrible varnishing. but a lot easier than just being sheeted over in winter lots less wear and tear. All in all about the same price as a winter mooring and three weeks fit out. Again, well done and great wall plaque. PS Have you tried those plastic funnel thingies' for being caught short.

What a fantastic informative volg. Thank you so much. We live on a Dutch barge and had it out last year. We had the whole bottom replaced (shes 120 years old!) We also used 2 pak but where we have difficulty getting the ol’ girl out of the water, she had 5 coats of undercoat and 5 of top coat. (All the yards that used to take boats out around here seem to be closing down, they’re as rare as hens teeth!). During the welding we had 3 fires on board (one of them quite serious) but were SO glad we got it all done. We’ve got to look after our old girls haven’t we! Thanks once again for the work you do on the vlog. XX

@markturner4147 2 года назад

Great vlog with plenty of good blacking ideas for other bods to consider. I like the use of the aluminium paint which should in theory act as a seal and prevent rust. The cost of the paint was expensive, but should give you a longer in-water time i.e. 5 years plus, as against the usual 2-3 years for comastic type applications. Long may the 'Rum Wench' and its crew sail the inland waterways :)

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Ahh great to see a boat get a good coat of the expensive stuff... Brilliant of you to mention Robbie ... I've been following his stuff since he had just a handful on board. My names been mentioned in his Captains Log three times ... twice by accident 🤣

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Robbie is a legend … I’ve met him a few times and he has a heart of gold 😄🏴‍☠️

Lol! Subtle. I believe when Walt Disney was a kid, his father brought home some tar to fix the roof, and Walt thought it was paint. Since drawing/art supplies were in short supply, he figured it wouldn't matter if he drew something on the side of the house if they were just going to paint over it... so he painted a pig in tar on the side of the house...

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

😂😂 I think you are the first to notice 😂 but that is a fab story about Walt Disney - I love sharing little stories like that ❤️ thank you Janis 😃😃

I watched Robbie do his boat there awhile back. Interesting place. I was going to asked about where the blocks were underneath but some one else already asked.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Yes it’s a fab boat yard … I love Robbie - really genuine lovely guy 😃🏴‍☠️❤️

@barryevans9691 Год назад

What about the missing bits where the boat sat on the sleepers ? I thought you’d float it pull forward a bit and dry out again ! !! Well done on all the hard graft

You can’t be refloated as it ruins the curing time

@tugboatsoutham 2 года назад

Excellent informative video. Some great people run that dry dock. That big boat that was above the dry dock is the sister of one that I used to work carrying grain from Liverpool to Frodsham. Folks forget the waterways were built to transport stuff.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Thanks Chris, yes it’s lovely seeing the big boats 😃

@WifeofJim 2 года назад

Great job, girls 👍. Ours is coming out of the water for blacking next spring, but we’re having to be hauled out up a slipway because there’s no dry dock facilities on the Chesterfield canal. We won’t be staying on board either as the only way on and off is via a step ladder and getting the dog up and down wouldn’t really be safe - or comfortable for either her or us. She’s a whoppet with long, skinny legs, so it would be like carting a giant preying mantis about! We’ll stay in the folding caravan that we bought instead.

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Are you doing it yourselves ? Or going on a folding caravan adventure ? 😃😃🏴‍☠️ we have steps but still had to carry old Puddin down them 😂 haha it was hard work and we still aching now 😂😂

@janistotham-davies4300 2 года назад

You made a wonderful job of your blacking, very well done ladies!❤️😉

@TheNarrowboatPirate 2 года назад

Thanks Janis, we are both still aching from the ordeal 😂😂

Hello Heidi, got to be careful here as I don't want to offend anyone, may I say you and Jack looked amazing in overalls, you are the kind of ladies that don't mind breaking a finger nail, I think that all of you Women, and I am calling you Women not just female solo boaters are amazing, respect ❤️❤️☕️

@TheNarrowboatPirate 9 месяцев назад

Aww thanks Nigel 😄🏴‍☠️ it was hard work that 😂😂
