We Get Some PAINT On The CATAMARAN - Sand The Bottom - Bondo The Ceiling! 15 

theres a life time of work there

@magna viator check my channel I just sold my 80' Pichotti yacht for scrap price... then i drove it 100mi for the new owner ,,, why? even though it was 1000 times better than this Cat it was a life time of work...

@@toddwhite3217 yes it is lol

I would second the comment boat works today is a channel that I have learnt a lot from and I have been learning by trial and error since before we had youtube for such things. On an old sailcraft hull that is as osmosis ridden as they have here, injecting is not the worst option in terms of repair, if I recall correctly this generation of hull is solid fibreglass of the chopped strand variety, so provided they are using a resin that is compatible with the original and are not relying on this for structural repairs it should work quite well on this type of layup. Anything structural that has gone soft is a cut it out and lay it up properly job in my book. I am interested to see how the sugar scoops work as I have been trying to work out how the rudders normally mounted there are replaced in this setup and how that would affect the sailing of the boat.

The theme of this channel is "learning the hard way". Just look at them putting so much work into a boat where the bolted hull to deck join has literally been sawn off...

Somebody’s gotta do it

9to5less why? Wouldn’t videos of you following proper technique be more helpful to everyone- including yourselves? Seems kinda like you’re just unwilling to take the time to learn proper techniques. I suspect this series is more about the videos than the boat.

Yea we’ll pick up some respirators before we get back to work

I don't think this boat is going to ever sail. They're making it a power boat I think. Rudders wild help with that too, but they don't really have to have them ..

@@VideoServicesVB Thanks for the heads up, it is just when they moved it after purchase they kept the mast.

@@johnfoster3286 yeah. Can't quite figure that either. But they had a conversation in last video that I thought indicated they were getting rid of the mast support inside the cabin for more room. I might not have understood it though. But they are sure a long way from sailing. Maybe they'll tell us their plans....

@@VideoServicesVB If they take the mast support away they will not be able to walk on the roof. (Mine flexis when I walk on it due to the balsa core gone soft.) The other thing is the hull shape is not ideal for extensive power boating.

@@johnfoster3286 I would agree. I thought it odd that they were talking about that. Sailing and rigging that boat will be quite a challenge. They would surely need those rudders then. Lol Said they were headed to FLA. Maybe they going there to refit

Soon. Very soon

No sails. Just motor

Thanks Ralph! We’ll get the rub rail down in Florida and all other wood trim too I believe.

James is a master, one of the best sailors out there...pure grit and ingenuity

Greg is freakin awesome! Can’t wait to meet back up with him!!

Thanks! Yea we have no time to wait! Bare minimum and then down to Florida!

Thanks Ausbin!

it wasn't cheap. they actually paid $3000 for that. I would say they can use it as an expensive learning experience and next time they will know better, but they also bought a "house" boat before this that is just as bad or worse. so it might take a couple more of these, or the money running out...

@@CormacMacCormac gotta laugh, maybe his aiming at the comedy value of the channel.

I think most of the comments are from people who do not even own a boat and would never even try to do half the things they are

CormacMacCormac their motive is to get paid for making videos- not to end up with functional boats. Everyone has an angle.

Greg is the man!!

Thanks Tim!

If andys watching this he's either laughing his ass off or crying his eyes out , maybe he will comment and let us know which one 😀

Hahaha. Thanks Deon!

Thanks Andrew! Little by little and this thing is gonna be looking pretty sweet!!

Dude, go watch some of the earlier videos. Hyst.er.i.cal. I totally subscribed for the lols.

Hammertime AK these people departed for a trip without even a radio. My guess is “those cost money and we’re just young and quirky so our plucky attitude will act as our work pad”

Nice! Yea we got ahold on one of those and it makes really quick work of things. Gotta be really careful though. It’s a beast!

Nice! Yea James is great! Too cold now. Gotta head south

Hey Peter! Yea it is. Especially on a cold night. We are gonna whip this thing into the best shape we can quickly and go down to Florida to complete the rest.

@@9to5less ... yes that would be more accommodating weather wise .. how much of a lag do you have on your videos, for all I know you may have already finished your refit ... take care Trevor and Jess .....

does it really matter? that thing is a piece of crap not much gonna help that,,, if they ever get in rough seas its gonna break apart,,, i just hope we get to see the video

@@toddwhite3217 lmbo

@BOSS MAN I agree. I've often wondered that myself!

Interesting!

Hahaha. I’m glad you liked that!

there is no plan,,, but to make videos

Glenn edwards oh did they get a primary radio? Last trip they just used their cell phones. Someone at one of the locks should have told them to stop until they can get a radio. IIRC it’s required to have a radio.

Watch the first videos they did pretty good bringing the boat back they have some seamanship abilities

Automotive Bondo on holes below the water line ???? Wtf
