It’s good to see you make mistakes, learn from you mistakes , and learn how to repair your mistakes. You won’t always have Pablo on hand , so these will be invaluable lessons. 😃🥂
Oh noooo, the baby got her first scratch! Oh well, at least you got that out of the way with minor damage, relatively easy repair, good learning experience, and as my mom used to say, "It builds character!" :o) On to the Bahamas!
This is something I need to learn. I can handle all the mechanical stuff, but I have done almost no fiberglass work. Good video showing the process and good work filming & narrating!
That’s a huge compliment, thank you! We feel the same way. We needed to learn to work with fiberglass and epoxy and this was the perfect opportunity. Thanks for watching!
One very distinct benefit of the 1600! If you damage your rudder, you can just pull it out to repair it, instead of having to pay for a haulout! Hopefully the rest of the mechanism wasn't hurt.
How delicate the ladder is ! Fiber glass fixing is very meticulous! As you mentioned in the video , if you underrated the importance of fixing, it would be affecting the boat operations. I am also surprised that there is a shop for the fiber DIY!
All part of life's rich tapestry! Yaaay, Fabio, itchy dust, yuck. Everyone hits the bottom and the itchy dust is the penance we pay, at least your great boat has lift up rudders and saves a big haulout bill.Think of it as blessing in disguise ,you guys are picking up new skills all the time, money in the bank. Better it have happened close to home with skilled mates around rather than on some god forsaken, far flung reef, next time it happens ( and it will! :) ) you guys can sort it out no worries. Top tip, before grinding, cover your exposed body parts in baby powder,it helps reduce the glass dust sticking to your skin. Keep having fun, I hope the next trip's less stressfull, keep the crabs ducking!:)
Thanks Fred, you are so correct! The ability to take the rudder out and work on sawhorses made that much easier. Having great friends like Pablo to teach you stuff is fantastic. Lessons learned at every step of the way, the best one: lift the rudders up before you hit bottom so you don’t have to do it after!😂😳 Thank you for the baby powder tip, great advice, thank you for watching our videos
Exactly! We were talking about just that point yesterday. If we were somewhere else it would have cost a pretty penny and we most likely wouldn’t have been able to learn how to do the repair.

Thanks David! We’re glad you enjoyed the video. We agree 100% and are trying to learn as much as possible about repairs.

That’s exactly right Peter! We’re very fortunate and happy to have learned a lot!!

We'er glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching!!
Always Nice watch a Master at his Craft.
It certainly is!
Great video and kudos to Fabio for being so humble. He’s a bigger man than most
I (Fabio) appreciate the compliment. We're all students of something. :) Thanks for watching!
You have become one of my favourite sailing channels. Bummer that you had this happen, but at least you are skilling up.
That’s a huge compliment, thank you! We feel the same way. We needed to learn to work with fiberglass and epoxy and this was the perfect opportunity. Thanks for watching!
Fascinating to see the different aspects of this new adventure you're both on. Great tips, Pablo.
We’re glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching @JK Morphs!

Exactly! The rest of the mechanism seems to be in tact so overall we were lucky.
Thanks for sharing !
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Really love the both of you...beautiful couple...so soft and tender with each other
Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for watching our videos.
in west marine brand you use can also use micro fibre 403 & filling blend 405 to do minor filling as well
Thanks for the tip David!
I love the video I have already learned so much and I'm not even halfway through it
That's awesome! We love to hear feedback like that. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool that the rudder was so easy to remove and fix! Might beat having a skegged rudder, would you say?
We think so! Yes, we definitely think the self floating rudders that are easily removed are more versatile than a skegged rudder. Thanks for watching!

Fiber glass fixing is very meticulous!
As you mentioned in the video , if you underrated the importance of fixing, it would be affecting the boat operations.

😊😊 very important to fix stuff on your own!! Thanks for watching and for you comments! 😊😊
Interesting. Kristin, I think your Dad used to work with epoxy.
Yes, he did work with epoxy. I remember he would often have it stuck to his hands, lol.

Thank you for the baby powder tip, great advice, thank you for watching our videos
dont you have the forwardscan option ? it should have alerted you.
We do not have a forward scan, it would have been nice! Thanks for watching our videos
Watch out for the bottom fish! So how hard was it removing the ruder?
The rudders on the 1600 are adjustable and can actually be completely removed quite easily.
Usually it’s easy to remove the rudder but because the pin got jammed we had to use the main halyard to lift it out. Thanks for watching!
Succede!! Almeno imparate ad aggiustarlo per la prossima volta.
Davvero!
unlucky
Unlucky on one hand and on the other lucky because we had someone to teach us how to fix it. 😊
