Heck it just keeps on coming, opening the book of a old boat.😂
You know it.
No end in sight, yet. One day...
Cheers for watching 😃
I’ve seen a few people making “rope” by winding up resin soaked fibreglass to fill in / strengthen gaps like, like your windows , most recently SV Lynx putting a hard edge on foam bulkheads , good progress though 😃🍻
Love you two - doing a great job save a penny and the pounds will add up and your Rich
Don't have pounds as I've spent all my pennies on sweets. 🤣
Cheers for watching 😃
Go Team Seabird!
Copper coat is not the product many think it is. It still needs to taken care of, you still need to scrub the bottom(just not as much, and lightly sand when the growth is coming back too fast. I could never understand boats in warm waters with all the growth on the bottom, it's just laziness that it's there.
Take a look at "Sailing Red Seas". They copper-coated their boat Indioka and I am not sure they are happy with it. Maybe their application, but they are beginning to get some growth.
Our hull has taken forever too, it’s definitely a labour of love right 😅🙈
Love...
Love, hate 🤣
But the major sanding is done. Now fairing and moving up the grades of the paper.
Slowly.
Maybe two weeks to fair.
Then that keel...
Cheers for watching 😃
Seeing Marina the smerf reminded me of when i had to cut out steel plating below the waterline. Had a friend who was a gun welder who did the necessary and my then partner would do the grinding and painting of the welds. I would come home from work and out from under would come an orange overalled blonde haired grinder wielding apparition. Face as black as the ace of spades and crap all through her hair and a grin as wide as could be. She was unbelievable and couldnt understand how much she was contributing to the re-fit. Always talking about not contributing money. What she did far outweighed any monetary input. We split a few years later. Not acrimoniously but not as well as we should have. However i will always remember the work she put in and the hardness of the work she did and the dirtiness of the work she performed with never a complaint or whinge. She was a champion. You have a lady of the same ilk. They are hard to find. Kudos to you Marina for what you do. Cheers.
Hiya Clive,
A good boat lady is worth more than gold.
Plus Marina is great on the helm.
Sometimes to good...
We fight over the wheel when the wind is at its best.
Thank you for being there, chatting with you boost our morale a lot.
As always, Cheers for watching 😃
She’s looking really good! Only got another 45 to binge!
HEY! It's only the beginning of August. Don't be heralding Winter yet please.
That’s hard work, all the sanding and scraping, but it’s looking good.
Thank you.
It's a slow process at times.
Cheers for watching 😃
You gorgeous sweetheart 😊... Stu, you lucky bastard 😅. Boat is looking great guys, really coming along. Love from Adrian in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Hiya,
Luck is relative... 🤣
We do enjoy working together. Focusing on a goal.
Cheers for watching 😃
No, it's not boring to follow you. You seem to have great love and respect for each other. You are also very knowledgeable in what you do. The boat could perhaps be in better condition, so you had an easier opportunity to get out to sea.
Wish I could join you guys and help out. Im disabled and wouldnt be much help other then comic relief and I could hold a camera for ya! OOps I just realized that last statement makes me a tripod!
I think its so cool what you are doing! I cheer every time one of your videos pops up! Please dont let the naysayers get you down. You guys are amazing! I cant wait to see the new Seabird in the water!!! If you come to Florida Please let me know. I would love to make you guys dinner and show you the real cool places we Floridians NEVER tell the tourists about!
Y'all are a great team 😊...
Thank you so much 😊
Cheers for watching 😃
Already seeing progress. Lots to do then all the sudden it's done.
So much to do, so much.
It will come, even if a bit slow.
Cheers for watching 😃
When removing the windows warm the goo with a heatgun to make the job easier.
"Marina", the place where boats hang out when they are not sailing.
Amazing, these two seasoned sailors rebuilding a Gulf Star 41. Fabulous, simply marvelous cinematography and sound with expert editing.
We've never heard such positive words.
Thank you.
Cheers for watching 😃
A little waffle never hurt anyone Stu, you crack on geezer 👍👍
you two are doing an amazing job on Seabird
It's looking good! Little by little the jobs get completed. Stay strong as you are both an inspiration to others who want to follow in your footsteps. 👣 Really enjoy your channel as you are so real in all that you are doing. I'm working on my sailboat also. Only it's in my backyard which makes everything more barrable. My past refits have been in the boatyard. Spring, summer, fall & winter. It's never really easy. But when you go back in the water it's worth the work. 🤗 ⛵ 💖
Cheers, S/V Cork~Texas
Absolute tune How charming
Why thank you 😊
Cheers for watching 😃
Truely a lovely bottom 😂
Why, thank you 😊
Cheers for watching 😃
Sure thing I will check out your bottom.
Nice title. I like.
Yep coppercoat cheers n beers Marty Australia
Marina i like that you work hard at things and that you work hard on doing a quality job . You are not just a pretty side kick. Stu you are the rockstar! Love your humor and your humility. That you find your self in over your head but know it will be ok because you find the right person to teach you. Big ups to the your mechanic friend he is awesome please let him know he didnt go unnoticed.
Thank you guys so much for inspiring me. Wish I had money and or time to help. But since watching you guys work so hard I have begun to finish some of my own projects and and found I remember how great it feels to do things for my self.
It always nice to see people working when I'm sitting down, so that's a good thing...👍
Great job....👍
You got that right!
Glad you enjoy 😉
Cheers for watching 😃
Were there with you stu in spirit....feeling all youre pain.
It will pay off in the end. It's quite hard to believe when you spend so many "half hours" that it seems like it's never ending job.
Marina's editing is superb, by the way.
Waffling on!!!! lolololololo Stewart....
Will do.
Thanks.
Cheers for watching 😃
U2 work very hard!! However, it will all come back to you when you sail the seas! Good to see you do the right things! That will save your lives more than once. Remind yourselves the peace during a major storm-it will happen..that is when you smile BIG!! Do Not do cheap! Cheers, Rich
Totally agree.
Cheers for watching 😃
Crunchy work today. Always, darkest before the dawn, lol.
Always enjoy watching you no matter how boring you may think it is... Thank you for the video!!! Love ya...
You're the best!
We're glad you engine the videos.
Cheers for watching 😃
Never boring !
Copper coat is definitely worth it. My boat was done 10 years ago and it's still good. My outdrives are antifouled with seajet (can't coppercoat aluminium) and the weed grows faster on the seajet with almost no weed on the coppercoat, although seems to get the same amount of barnacle growth on both. Also helps to protect the gel coat as its epoxy based.
Hi Guys. Great Work you two. You will have some big muscles Stu by the time you finish that hull. It's looking Great. It really is. Great Video guys 😅😅
I wish 🤣🤣🤣
I somehow don't think so.
Maybe a good back tan.
Cheers for watching 😃
This was not boring. Looking forward to see the window finished.
You and me both...
Only one left to remedy and hopefully no more leaking windows.
We didn't do them all, just the leaking ones.
Cheers for watching 😃
Nothing easy on a boat, except drinking a beer at sunset. 😊. Greatly appreciate sharing your project, and what great tales to be told one day…. ❤
It’s never boring to watch your hard work.
Thank you, we are glad you enjoy our videos.
Cheers for watching 😃
I first like, and then watch. I know that good stuff is coming ❤
Thanks 😊 We try!
Cheers guys!
Cheers for watching 😃
❤ legend pleasy
Great progress. Can you share the copper coat pro and con, application process, cost, maintenance etc.
Good progress, hard work by all, above and below deck. Very nice audiovisual, time lapse, music. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
If the support bracket for the propeller shaft is not loose when you pull on it, the lamination is not needed, so we repairmen have only done it as an emergency solution when it is leaking and it is loose.
But if there is a little slack that you feel, the lamination on the inside should be removed, often these are quite loose and can be partially broken off, as the boats at that time were often built in polyester of "environmental quality", paraffin oil was then added, which meant that if not sanded before laminating on a hardened surface, so this loosens over time. So the surface around has to be sanded clean to healthy glass fiber and a new laminate over the attachment on the inside. On the outside, sand clean, apply Sika primer and put a neat joint around the support bracket in the joint against the hull. It becomes a bit flexible and lasts better over time.
Keep fighting and good luck in your work.
Use the chopped carpet in small pieces and carefully roll out all the air and excess polyester. The polyester we repairmen use here in Sweden is called 720-800 and has the best adhesion. If the boat is not built in Vinylester then you have to use this, and then it is usually a little red in color where you sand clean, and smells a little sweet. But I think it looks like your boat is built in regular polyester. English and American boats are often built in Vinylester.
Great advice!
Cheers for watching 😃
It's great to see a lot of things happening. It seems to me you got more energy now.
Don't know about more energy.
Just want to stop sanding.
There will be a day when it's done...
Cheers for watching 😃
Good Job guys!
But just a little comment: when using a claw hammer as a lever against the gel coat or indeed just fibreglass, use a flat peice of metal sheet between the hammer head and the fibreglass, to avoid cracking the fibreglass. The flat plate will even out the forces across the surface.
I wish I had started a project like this when I was younger!
Best wishes.
Always, Always polish the outside of the shaft before attempting to pull it through!
lookin great
Thank you.
It's still very early on in the project.
Some jobs just take an age, and you see little progress.
Cheers for watching 😃
When ordering your prop you will need to quote the engine speed, gear reduction, HP rating etc. the supplier should be able to advise on the diameter of the shaft. If the P bracket and tube are solid it would be easier to keep the same shaft diameter. A stainless steel shaft can be a smaller diameter than a bronze one for the same strength.
At first I was not to sure about you two but after seeing your work I see that you both do very good boat work so carry on, lol I send My support.
Thank you.
This is our home, so it needs to get finished at some point.
No option!
Cheers for watching 😃
Not boring at all! Keep at it I’ll be watching the progress from Dayton OH, rooting for your great success. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
Slowly but surely... Good job marina
Marina does all the hard work.
She's good on plough, too. 🤣
Cheers for watching 😃
The work is getting better and better daily. Soon this boat will be navegating again, and you will be happy on it.
You guys really work hard. The boat looks better every week.
Sometimes we don't see the progress.
But every day we work and hopefully in a year from now we'll see something that resembles a home.
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking good! All your attention to detail now will make a huge difference when you start putting on your finish coats.
I hope so!
We might have run out of patience by then 🤣
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking good guys….copper coat the way to go
Never boring! Look forward to the next update 🙂
Glad to hear it!
More to come that's for sure.
Cheers for watching 😃
I feel ya, took my wife, 1 paid hand and i 5 weeks to take our 30 footer back to the fiberglass. Was not looking forward to sanding again last week for re anti foul after 12 months in the water, turned out to be an easy 3 or 4 hrs to give her a light sand and a couple hours to re apply new anti foul so happy, my arms and shoulders were still sore from 12mths ago...
Tell me about it.
We hope with the coppercoat it might last a few years.
Cheers for watching 😃
Copper coat is the way to go, as you’ve invested so much time doing a really good job of cleaning off the old antifoul.
We are, just hope we can get the keel repairs done and get her bottom painted.
Step by step...
Cheers for watching 😃
Never boring !!!
Another busy week. Well done, keep going. We are all there, rooting for you both. ❤
Great job
Thank you.
Cheers for watching 😃
good job Marina with the window. i'm happy to see the the progress on the hull, that's a so hard work especially with an hot weather. I love your videos and i wait every week to see the new one !
Love you both
Thank you!
We are glad you enjoy our videos.
Cheers for watching 😃
Hi Stewart, fyi the replaceable cutlass bearing inside the P-bracket are available with different ID ( shaft sizes) with the same OD size to fit the P-bracket. This might allow you to use a larger or metric shaft.
Cheers Warren
Hiya Warren,
I've been looking at them. We are going for a larger shaft, 30mm.
The P bracket had an inner sleeve so now I'm 0.8mm too big...
I'm sure there is a way to fix this.
Just don't know how yet.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
Cheers for watching 😃
comein on nice .....⛵
Absolutely looking good!
Thanks!
We are a long from anywhere.
It's only just started to be honest.
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking good you smiling boat buddhas! Work through winter sailing next summer. Wishes that works well with your planning. Work that dream& happiness to you two! 🍀🙏🧚🏽
Thanks, you too!
Cheers for watching 😃
Congratulations on getting that window out without damage, I got impatient with the last one on mine, one of eight non standard size, f#cked it, I sort of expected it lol. Great channel, I would Patreon you but spending my coin on my own project at a very similar stage to yours, keep up the great work, inspiring me today as I drink beer :)
Sanding can be boring but the end result will be rewarding window [portlight ] is coming on well keep it up you are doing well see you next week
It's the angles you need to get in to sand the bottom.
Hopefully the topsides won't be as bad.
Cheers for watching 😃
Awesome Marina &
Stu!!
✨️🙏🏻✨️
Thank you 😊
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird GRACIAS!!
✨️🍀🍀✨️
You 2 are doing great.. Seabird Stu is going to look amazing after all the effort you are putting into it.. I think I would definitely use copper coat if it's less maintenance. The little higher price is probably to keep people from using it so that they spend more time and effort with the other bottom paint.. you 2 are going to have one of the nicest gulfstar 41s around.. your videos are always entertaining ..
Worth the effort, good progress team
Thank you.
Slow progress is still progress.
Cheers for watching 😃
Great job, team! You're doing great work, and you made me laugh out loud several times on this video. You're so friggin' funny!
great episode, thanks guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers for watching 😃
Hi Stu & Marina, thanks for the Saturday fix😊
That said, coppercoat is very good, I saw a "Combat approved" video where some Russian subs are rubber coated(exterior) sounds like a good idea. If you spend winter on Seabird then you might start refurbishing the interior, stay well, I love you both
That's the plan.
Turn the fibreglass tree house into a boat and maybe one day a sailing boat.
It will come.
Cheers for watching 😃
Good work! Keep up the good work.
I like the work videos. Thanks for asking
We lived aboard our Gulfstar 41 for 6 years. From our experience, Your efforts are worth the effort.
Your videos are NEVER boring. 😂 We love every second. Moving along on the hull. I think copper coat sounds good…we’re going with antifouling. (It’s what we have.) Stay with the boat this winter…please. 😎💕💕💕😎
Hiya,
Hope you're well. How's your week been?
Always like reading your comments.
We want coppercoat as then we can forget about it for a while.
Plus in the Mediterranean, a lot of countries won't let you antifoul your own boat.
Cheers for watching 😃
Thank you for your weekly comment, we truly look forward to it.
@@SailingSeabird 🥰Good week. We can only work on our boat on weekends, as it is four hours away, so it’s SLOW going. But all is well. Headed to New Bern this Friday. Supposed to feel like it’s 100 degrees F. 😂 You consistently inspire us! ❤️❤️❤️😎
Can i suggest you take a look at the duracell project, that chaps doing a load of fiberglass work, might give you a few ideas and a bit more confidence in doing that big old patch too.
Really great video as always guys! Maria is kicking butt with the sanding and the windows. Stu, you are a machine....plain and simple.
Let's not get above ourselves, we are the slowest sanders in the yard.
But no rush...
Cheers for watching 😃
Yes to copper coat, done correctly, it will last at least 10 years, when we do it, we give a 10 year warranty, if you want to sail the world, then you don't have the hassle of finding some where to get the boat on the dry, just dive and skrabe it a bit, with a brush, from time to time, but a realy great job, your doing, thinking that if you don't want to leave the boat in winter, you could just do some little boat work for others.
Well done, all progress is good. With Coppercoat it would appear that incorrect application is a high cause of failure so all the best with that program.
It's a real process but like everything it's all in the preparation.
Cheers for watching 😃
It should be boring to watch and yet I look forward to seeing each episode.
I think that your calculus with regards the copper coat is right on the money.
P bracket should probably be protected by the prop shaft anode if the bushing is metallic.
Don’t erode your days off together too much. You’ve earned the privilege of each others company doing the things you like together which is very important for a healthy relationship. Go well both. ❤
Try a shotgun cleaning rod for your shaft seal,p bracket etc. the wire brush head on a drill will work wonders!
We'll try to find a local shotgun shop 🤣🤣🤣
Not so big in France, will search online.
Thanks for tip.
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird decathlon sell them. 12 gauge wire brush head
Amazing how you 2 keep on going, respect! Love to see your videos, they are lovely to watch! All the best!
Everyone loves some proper sanding! ;-)
Thank you Fredrik! 😊 We might end up missing it haha It's part of our routine now!
Great job guys 👍🏻🏴
great progress
Thank you.
Seems slow at times.
Cheers for watching 😃
Enjoyed it, the editing is great
Glad you enjoyed it.
Much appreciated.
Cheers for watching 😃
Progress, stay positive and keep going 🎉🎉
Nice Jobs guys, You guys are kicking ass. It looks amazing. It is a ton of work to get this all done but OMG when you guys get this finished you will have complete freedom. You will be able to set sail and go anywhere in the world you want. This is what I want to do so bad but I just don't know how to even get started with it all. YOU GUYS ROCK!!
Good teamwork - seeing the improvements all the time - little by little its coming together. When that sanding is done you will feel so good and motivated keep going. ❤
You would like to think that 🤔
Cheers for watching 😃
You are doing a great job guys. You are not boring 👍🏻Stu hats off to you, your determination is admirable. Well done. I think copper coat is a good idea, you do have to keep it suspended while applying it though as the copper just sinks to the bottom of the tray. 👍🏻👍🏻 Love watching you both. ❤
Great advice.
Cheers for watching 😃
Seabird is looking good guys. Great video.
Coppercoat is good as long as it is applied in the correct manner otherwise it’s a total failure as the previous owner of our boat found out. You could really use one or two extra people to get it applied.
Great advice.
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking great! You two are a fabulous team.
Hiya, hope you've had a good week.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
Copper coat is a good osmosis barrier coat do big so bad an idea but a couple of coats of ablative after the regular epoxy primer would be easily removed in a few years after you have done all the important work, rebuilt the rig , sales etc etc etc..
cheers Warren
Thanks for the advice.
Cheers for watching 😃
hi folks,.. nice job :) ( a follow you from a while)
i don't know if you know the trick 'pastry pouch', but, when you prepare a fairy compound ,
you can put it in a plastic bag, cut a corner, and use it to poor on a place :)
more easy, quick and clean (less to trash)
enjoy your restauration
Great from Belgium
Thanks for the tip!
Cheers for watching 😃
looks really good
