“Ship happens” has a unique way of bringing up their restauration of Sarinda. Simon and Gemma put a lot of effort in making the channel better and better.

@jonsalter1895 5 месяцев назад

Hi Simon and Gemma, I am thoroughly enjoying your exploits with Sarinda. Gemma, instead of having a seperate lower bench, make up a duck board (similar to the bridges you made) to increase your height above the existing bench. That way you both can be comfortable at 1 bench.

@Sircraig7963 5 месяцев назад

G'day Crew, Great to see more progress. A few more volunteers would be helpful, So how about it folks, if you are able to help with a day or two now & then , let's help Simon and Gem with this worthwhile project. After all, it's a boat that was commissioned & served its country . Best wishes guys ,your doing a really great job . Respect....!

@LunaTicThomas 5 месяцев назад

I grew up in the country. When the rainy season hit, the bridges over the creeks would wash away. The locals would hop on tractors and go look for them. We finally chained them to anchors so they wouldn’t go that far

One commenter asked if it was bridge to far. I would say no to that comment as it was really a bridge over troubled waters (actually over mud). Your episodes generate some good comments and always great entertainment.

@johnmorrison1180 5 месяцев назад

Please don't take this as a criticism but if that grey paint you spray onto the metal pieces is just cold galvanising then they will need a rust convertor on first. Although they have 95% of the rust removed the remaining 5% of the rust will flourish under the paint. I remain impressed with your level of dedication and quality of work going into this project, keep at it team!

Make a little "bridge deck" for Gemma to stand on in front of the bench.

@garyc5483 5 месяцев назад

Great job guys.The mini bridges are great idea. Might stop raining one day so you can get at least some of the decks on. 🙂 Don't throw the old Whitworth nuts and bolts away. They are worth a few bob to steam and vintage machinery guys. Glad to see the safety glasses are working Gemma ( I can be a sarcy sod sometimes ) ATB

@agw5425 5 месяцев назад

The bridges is a good idea but I also recommend a floating pier anchored next to the ship, both as a landing when the water is in and a "bridge" over the mud next to the ship when it´s out. A 3x3 meter platform at the stern should not get in the way of the nailing, you may even be able to move it to do nails above the waterline at high tide.

@johnzielsdorf7160 5 месяцев назад

@HYUKLDER1 5 месяцев назад

In the 1950s, that stretch of coast near the road you drive down to the sea used to be a lovely sandy beach that we children played on for hours. Aged eight, started to sail out into the Estuary from that exact location of the boat yard when it stored the Dee Sailing Club dingys. Now it is all silted like at Parkgate but at least the tide still comes in.

Visegrips for 13th birthday, thats not bad. In the mid 70's when I turned 1, i got a shotgun and a chainsaw. Got to get firewood and something to eat. Gorwin up in the bay was a lot different that town or city. At 13, you were no longer a boy, almost a young man, treated as such, and expected to do the work for your size. Never ever loan out tools, not even o family, they can bring what they fixed or buy their own tools.

@adienowed6366 5 месяцев назад

When I've done restoration projects involving cleaning rust from metal parts,I've always then had them hot dipped galvanised. That makes them absolutely bombproof against further corrosion. Where needed to paint to match other parts,I've used an etch primer followed by the paint colour-but it's the galvanising that provides the massive long term protection.

Also I was born in Heswall and visited the beach there when growing up and still remember the boats that were moored there, many left to rot away. I think that gave me my life long love of all things nautical .I hoped to meet you at BoatLife but you weren't there on the Thursday. Maybe next year Well done, keep going
