The more and more I watch your videos the more I love them I'm a Craftsman myself would like to learn what you do problem is I'm 70 years old but I still do a lot of woodwork help a lot of friends out what I'm getting at is I appreciate your craftsmanship I appreciate the fine family you have fortunate young man God bless you and your family God knows you deserve it one more thing can't wait to see all your adventures at sea God bless you and your wonderful family from my family
Watching your most recent videos, then going back to see how it all began, WOW...I have an Associate of Science in Marine Technology. We built boats and engines in college. However, there’s no way I could begin to do the refit that You, your lovely bride, and your precious daughter did as a family. Kudos to y’all!!! I wish you every good thing with continued fair winds and following seas...
Only half way through the the first episode and I already know I'm going to love this. So excited to watch the rest of your videos thus far! Please keep them coming!
Dam one of the few GREAT craftsman channels who actually know what a hes doing. Thankyou for make a channel on youtube that I can watch, out of very few, without screaming at it and shaking my head questioning "why do you say this is how its done. Not this is the way we do it (which is wrong)". Thankyou. 😁
After watching some of the more recent episodes and then seeing this one it's amazing how much Emma has grown! It's great to see the work you've done over the years. They're like mini-tutorials that will come in handy when I build my boat. Happy sailing!
it always gives me courage/hope seeing a family refitting a boat. i have a few years of work ahead of me and seeing your boat now vs in these vids in encouraging
Keep up the good work Rhys! I have been following your channel and must say that you have a capable and safe deep ocean adventure vessel that needed the right person to bring her back to life. I'm not going to lie and say it will be easy but the reward will outweigh the misery 100 fold. Good luck to you and your refit!
@@OnboardLifestyle Thanks buddy, i've been meaning to catch up on your vids for ages and i'm working through them now that i'm on interior fitout, your work is really awesome. Ya, it's a pain in the arse but i'm enjoying it mostly :)
Xin lỏi tải sao tôi lại được như vậy,sao tôi lai được gợi y nhiều như vậy,xi hỏi lại nhà mạng cho tôi biết rọ hơn và làm việc như mong muốn của các bạn
Linh...ponytails and bandanas? Might have helped but nobody asked me! LOL! Your hair is so beautiful! No chances should be taken! Tammie Miller/Hair stylist for 20 plus yrs. My goodness, you guys are just amazing!
Just found your channel after your wife posted in Sailing and Cruising about the back stuff. Love your channel...especially the DIY aspect...you’ve got mad skills dude.
Wow, you two are doing a fantastic renovation / retrofit of this cat, and your craftsmanship / attention to detail reminds me of another sailboat refitter, Mads @ Sail Life. * Subscribed *
If you are glassing overhead a couple of staples come in really handy to hold the glass up, then you can yank em out with a pair of needle nose once the epoxy is on.
9:20 I wet the ceiling first with epoxy and then stick the cloth on it a little later once it's a little harder.I am sure you tried different ways of doing it later to make sure Linh is happy.
Please, please, please; next time to have to epoxy over your head, roll on some epoxy; wait for it to get sticky; push the fiberglass into the sticky epoxy; wait till it hardens; and layer the rest of the epoxy on. I use this technique no matter the orientation of the surface. You can be very sure the interface between the glass and the surface has epoxy on it without worrying about saturation of the glass problems (or bubbles). I've gone through almost 200 gallons of epoxy building my self-designed, self-built glass over ply 49 foot cat.
@@OnboardLifestyle Using epoxy==White vinegar destroys uncured epoxy quickly cleans drips epoxy in hair etc I always have some on hand when using epoxy
Good morning gang. Am hooked on Sampson Boat Company and from Acorn to Arabella channels, found yours. I will start from the beginning and enjoy the journey I am sure!!! Hi Compass :)
The video is a bit older but I think I can say my opinion about it. I think that this man is very talented in craftsmanship and I think it's great what he does there. His catalog wife like my friend, always a smile. My friend also married one from the East, she quickly got pregnant to bind him, now he can often transfer money to her parents, sisters, brothers, etc., I can only buy you installments or never bring you a woman from the East House has to do with many additional payments believe me !!!
Emma about your tackle box. It looks like you got some really great deals. I’d like you to do a video on your fishing rods and reels. Lots of experienced fisherman think they can cast a spinning reel farther then a conventional reel. It’s not true once you get a good conventional reel (I like Shimano) you need to work with it to fine tune it. Growing up I never new what all those different adjustments were all about, it wasn’t till I started to do some casting and started making fine adjustments. When I finally got it I was amazed how far I could cast a lure. As an 8 year old my father would take my brother and myself fishing. On just about every cast I would get a bird’s nest, hard to explain.
I luv your videos and the work I have watched so far. I use 3M spray adhesive to secure the fiberglass overhead or vertically when needed.. Works great and may say you some time or headache
Hello Linh, Teal and Emma. Your videos have really inspired me. I just discovered your channel and subscribed, so you will hear more from me. I think your boat interior is awesome and really shows a lot of talent and dedication - Great work. I am curious about how much glass work you do inside and the reason behind it. I want to customize a cat in the near future and any tips I get will be kept in mind. Can't wait to see more videos.
Great to have you aboard, to answer your question why I glass all the interior surfaces. Multihulls are extremely weight sensitive so the lighter they are, the more efficient they are. For both performance and safety aspects. We are using ultralight substrates (honeycomb composites, high density foams, and ultralight marine grade plywood) so layers of glass reinforcement is crucial to their stability. I can't stress enough the importance of weight conservation on a multihull.
Oh come on mate , I'm about the same age, I feel it too, the ole body hurting more than usual these days. Mate , I'm just jealous and envious of your lifestyle. You're a very lucky man Teal, to have a lovely supportive family, new places, delicious foods that your incredible wife prepares. You've got it made . You are living every middle aged man's dream. Hats off to you mate. Never any malice intended
Going back to revisit some of your past projects. Keep thinking, when you run the big popsicle sick to create the radius it seems that there is only so much pressure pushing in the thickened epoxy no? Seems like it'll be somewhat porous vrs using your finger to really press it in at the risk of leaving a nice transitioning curve. But maybe since you end up glassing it, it doesn't matter?
I use a 1" stick and with a bit of practice it works perfect for me. When I use my finger the radius changes with pressure but with the 1" stick it remains consistent...thanks for watching!
I'm surprised you didn't incorporate some type of storage in those two cabinets. You clearly know what your doing and have excellent skills. It's a beautiful cruiser. I'll keep watching. Oh yeah. It looks fast. How many knots do you think she'll do?
There is a bit of storage capacity in each cabinet but the main purpose is plumbing access. I was able to gain 13.4 cubic feet of storage in the upper cabinetry which is more than adequate for our use. As for the performance of sv basik, she is light and fast...stand by for speed runs as we head South!
Since the cabin sole is right at water level I wanted to add strength to the hulls by integrating the new floors into the sidewalls with honeycomb composite and multiple layers of glass. The unit is a custom made 1/4" food grade FDA approved virgin polyethylene poly resin tank and has a lifespan of 35+ years so I should be good. Besides, if I ever have a problem it just creates another fun project for me!
Thanks for watching Ron, we are working on a boat tour video that should answer most of your questions that we will post it in a few weeks...Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss it!
That's fantastic news, thank you. I subscribed and am binge watching now...on episode 6. Sounds like it's been 7 or 8 years in progress. I admire your patience, dedication, skills, and taste. The boat looks amazing! Can't wait to see her progress. Thank you for sharing!
I'm with you Ron, I want to know more details on the acquisition of said hull, and hull characteristics n so forth and reasons for choices on some things. Seems like a awesome build. Plenty of room and functionality from the other videos. i think i just realized why its not such a great idea to plaster Black solar panels all over the roof. The Radiant heat they produce will bake you that changes some of my plans for sure.
Jim: The shadows of the mast and boom can render solar panel output close to nill. Small panels help. Mine are all the way in the back, and 25 Watts each. Output of a solar panel is limited to the current of the least productive individual cell. One small shadow and the panel isn't helping you. And the bottoms should be ventilated in warm climes. Outputs fall at high panel temps, too.
Captain Teal is self taught on boat building. After spending 20 years behind a desk as an operations manager at a hardwood company he decided he like working with his hands and building came naturally to him. Both Emma and I are still in awe over what he can create. He has found the perfect balance of form and function. We are so lucky. 😍😍
@@OnboardLifestyle That is beyond fantastic as is his craftmanship. Thanks for allowing all of us to witness this amazing transformation. All our best from PA. Cheers
Patrick, Captain Teal is most certainly an incredible craftsman! I am a carpenter by trade for over 30 yrs and like to consider myself a perfectionist. Cpt. Teal is right up there in talent and work ethic. Of course this is going to be the home that will be carrying precious cargo so he definitely goes the extra mile, but I have a feeling he does that in everything he attempts. He is constantly blowing our minds with his beautiful work! That galley? It belongs in a magazine!
How was the cabinetry made? I notice the lightweight approach with what seems to be cardboard spacing. Any chance there is a video of this? I am a new subscriber so I might find it when I see your videos. Oh, great video, Thx!
We used a 3mm marine grade poplar ply for our cabinetry. Keep watching, we explain what materials we used. It evolved as we progressed with our project. All material is marine grade. Thanks for the sub!
I know it's trendy to have a two sink bathroom, but on a sailboat? Why? It's not like you both have to prepare to go to work to get there on time. A second sink on a boat bathroom just takes up valuable space, in my opinion since there's no rush to get to work on time.
We started this refit quite a few years ago and didn't really start documenting until just in the last year and a half. Hope you enjoy what you have seen so far! Cheers!
Onboard Lifestyle Fantastic that makes sense. It looks like you have a lovely family & you seem knowledgeable - We look forward to watching the rest of your episodes. Just subscribed.
Where did you learn to work with fiberglass, epoxy, paint etc.? Great work! What year/brand/length is your cat? PS My family and I really miss Seattle. However, we will only be headed back sometime in the next decade due to work constraints...lol
I notice neither of you were wearing gloves, or protective clothing when applying epoxy, you really want to keep as much as that stuff of your skin as possible as the skin absorbs it and could make you very ill !! Safety glasses and disposable gloves, disposable overalls don't cost much money and well worth it.
