I feel your pain... you are not alone and it is nice to see another couple so dedicated to working together on a boat. Take some time to enjoy each other's company. You both deserve it. Cheers from Nova Scotia!
Thanks so much. We actually really enjoy working together on our project...our retirement home. Sometimes it is overwhelming but most times it's like eating an elephant...one piece one project at a time.
That bondo was INSANE.
Sooo much weight!
That was my thoughts exactly 😳@@OnboardTangaroaSeatrial
They call it Fairing Compound. The entire hull should be covered with it.
Thank you for your reply. You’re a hell of an engineer and good luck to you and your wife on getting her finished. Will be watching your videos. Happy holidays to your family.
He says Thank You. He's sitting right next to me eating dinner. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your support. Cheers. Janis
That was an crazy amount of fairing compound. Crazy I say.
Wasn't it!!! We can't even imagine how much sanding that took to get her ready for.painting. The blasting guy estimated 8000 hrs!!!! Cheers. Janis
All our customs boats are bare aluminium here in Australia . As son of a marine engineer, hull builder . And master class 5 holder . There going to be more worms in that can that I would take on . Good on you guys .
My dad built and designed all the catamaran ferry’s here in Australia. And drove them until he retired and then pass away 18 months later
The hull has actually been pretty good. Other than that aft deck there are no major issues. That was the only thing we were concerned with. Much of the mechanicals and electricals will be replaced ultimately. Sorry to hear your father passed so soon after retirement. I had a good friend who passed shortly after retirement as well. That is why we are quitting out jobs and going travelling while we still can. Thanks for watching!
Tangaroa said "Tiaki mai i ahau, maku ano koe e tiaki" If you look after me, I will look after you. The boat looks good, and I agree who ever welded her did a fantastic job.
What a wonderful saying. We may have to mount that in the wheelhouse. Is that OK? She def needed and deserved some love and we are happy to give it to her. Janis
@@OnboardTangaroaSeatrial Don't forget that any tender you have for the boat should be named Punga who was Tangaroa's son. Wishing you all the very best in your endeavours.
Funny you should say that we just purchased a new to us tender about 3 weeks ago and promptly named it Punga! Thanks!
Sandblasting is the right surface profile for great paint adhesion. Soda blasting would have smoothed out the roughness of the sand blasting.
I admire your dedication and stoicism.
We actually have fun doing it. Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate the support. Janis
Loving your videos!!!!
Glad you enjoy the content! Plenty more to come.
Another beautiful part of our magic world. 🙏
Thanks. We do live in an amazing world don't we. Janis
that was a big job, its good that you have the positivity (you will need it). however, how exciting that its stripped back, it appears that the hull is in good shape, excellent news. she has nice lines. watching from australia.
Her lines were beautiful, and we were pleasantly surprised. Hopefully, we will get down your way with her within the next 5 or so years. Circumnavigating Australia is on our bucketlist. Cheers Janis
That is one ambitious project,,,,,best of luck
Thanks! It is indeed ambitious. We will have projects ongoing on her for years to come.
Keep them coming!!!
Shall do. Next week...hydronic heater.
I wonder how much weight savings from removing all that bondo and paint and leaving it bare aluminum? love the look of bare aluminum btw, great choice!
When the fair a hull Al Steel even GRP it tends to add a considerable amount of Wt ... Something this size you are talking about 100-150 kg of fairing.
Steel boats can be worse still..... Really wt conscious vessels they try to avoid it as much as possible. That means a lot of time on the moulds and mould finish..before laying up.
Looking again it could be even more fairing compound 😬
I can't even begin to imagine the weight reduction. We are very happy with the result though.
I meet once 1 Off build 65 feet aluminum motorboat in Sweden. He left it unpainted , and the boat was absolutely super and looks great !
Merry Christmas Yacht crew!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas Kenny!
tts not Bondo. It's fairing.
Sorry...my fault I call all of it bondo. Kinda like calling sailboards windsurfers and snowmobile skidoos.
All that hard work has now created masterpiece.😋
She is getting there. It will be nice to do the interior.
@@OnboardTangaroaSeatrialfor sure. Make sure you secure it so it doesn't go flying 😂
Lol, its on the list.
Blaine, Janis you guys are the best how interesting. It’s Sunday and I’m watching your videos (hours) instead of my NFL football games. That’s how much you have aroused my interest in your yacht project, guys are awesome. Do you have any videos of the outside or inside of the finished Yacht as of December 2024 today?
Well, if you are from the states we know how important Sunday football is so we are honored 😁! Lol, she is far from finished today but we are trying to figure out how to best do that. The interior is still pretty torn apart as there is still tons of wiring and plumbing to do which goes slowly with full time jobs.
I’m wonder what grade aluminum was used for the hull.
According to documentation we received from the Haggin Museum (dedicated to this boat builder) all hull material is 5086-1132 alloy.
Is the aluminum too old to do an alodine treatment? We use it on aluminum in the aviation industry
We used alodine in certain areas of the hull. They are pretty sticky about that stuff at boatyards as its pretty toxic. It has to be collected and disposed of properly as you know.
Hi Bab .n. Blaine we had a Ally 32ft Boat a a friend had the same boat built by same company he painted his boat and we left ours Natural 5 years down line he had those blisters which he had to take all paint off and our boat was still in good nick only problem we had was the dreadful electrolytic which we put a cable right though the whole boat and solved our problem so far so good we had our boat for nearly 15years and the other owner says boat is awesome
Glad to hear that we are not crazy! We are at 3 years bare so far and it seems to be working great!
Was it windy there yesterday?
Yes! Very windy. We actually got hit by a mini waterspout of some sort, and it spun us so fast then heeled us over 25 degrees. Luckily, nothing fell in or off Tangaroa. It was quite a ride, though. B missed out as he was onshore but Izzie and I had fun. J
I think we really would benefit from some sort of timeline in the video. Perhaps some sort of introduction to every video, I have a bit of a hard time to folow the development and progress of the yacht to today. Love the videos thoug.
We are actually doing the videos in order right now but bringing the projects to completion. Would adding dates in the video help? I can def do that and it's a good idea.
That’s the trouble with paint, it hides a multiple of sins. If you’re keeping the boat, then it’s worth it. Even for peace of mind 👍👍👍
So worth it. Love this boat and love the bare hull look. Thanks for your support. Janis
bare aluminum never rust and looks good
We love the look of her now. More of an Explorer boat then yacht.
I wonder how much a sandblaster unit would have cost you to buy?
We never looked into that. It was a horrible job. Poor Carl and John had sand caked inside their eyelids! Janis
@@OnboardTangaroaSeatrial you can get a good second hand unit for $3k to 4k. Probably a better option if your hull would handle it would be UHP water blasting 40k psi pressure washer.
Seems like the stern has been added to the Boat ?
It has. There was 13' added some time in the 80's. Thanks for watching!
I wonder how many hundreds of pounds of epoxy paint and bondo was removed? I imagine you were sanding because the texture was too rough and would have affected performance, but what was the mistake? Too smooth?
I'll spoil it just for you...let's just say I had to replace the whole bootstripe. Too smooth for epoxy to stick
Shhh don't ruin it for anyone else. Cheers Janis
Bring her to the uk i got a polish guy who will paint that for a fraction of your quote 🤣🤣
The hull looks amazing for a 50 plus yo boat.I don't know the plate thickness but the alu boat I'm building at the moment has more distortion then yours
Not bad eh! We love the curves.
Sanding aluminum oxide with aluminum oxide paper
The sanding was for the bondo, not the oxide layer.
Would it have been cheaper if you hired the blasting gear and do the job yourself. 👍👍
Could have paid me enough to do that job. The poor guy had sand caked inside his eyelids. It was horrible. Cheers Janis
Could you have used a needle scaler ? No material cost other than air or electricity
Holy sh*t I’ve never seen that much fairing used on a boat hull. The original builder must have had 45 gallon drums of bondo. You guys must have gone through quite a few bulk bags of sand, silica sand you could have had the recycled glass sand but that may have left too rough of a finish. I wonder if a needle scaler would have taken off some of that filler. It would have been a little nerve racking to see what was lurking under the surface.
I can't even begin to imagine how much weight we removed. It was nuts. Not sure if a scaler would have worked might have been too soft to be effective.
Needle scaler destroys aluminium it is only good for steel.
Personally having sandblasted industrial stuff i would have initially used copper slag then glass to finish.😊
The worms in the can of worms have cans of worms
Oh wait for it....the worms really come out with the railing removal.
She’s a beauty that will take all your time and money… but more than that will evolve to be a wonderful gorgeous home … but more money 🤣
We could not afford her if we didn't do all the work ourselves. She is our home though and still cheaper than a house..especially in Victoria BC
a boat is a hole in ocean where you
throw money!!!!
Oh we know that but it also allows us our dream of cruising around rhe world to come true. We don't like living on land.
Next time buy DECAPA-SCM FLUIDO it's a paint stripper product, it's gone be faster for sandblasting because you make the paint weak en soft
It's a good idea but paint stripper doesn't touch bondo and that was the issue. Hence sandblasting and grinding. Does the stuff you recommend tough bondo because I still have paint to remove from the scuppers but there's and inch of bondo in them.
Bondo on a boat. Huh
I'm not an expert. If the exterior used bondo it's more prone to fail than other types of fairing coatings. The lack of insulation (Ii.e. a barrier coat on the interior aluminum and insulation protects the outer hull from condensating beneath the exterior coating.
You might try a laser to remove surface rust in the exterior instead of grinding, sanding or blasting. It might not get it all but it might lighten the load of the larger spots. Once it is insulated and you removed the exterior rust and patched your holes, a real fairing coating and paint will make it look brand spanking new.
We are just using "Bondo" as a generic term for filler. Not sure what kind of filler they actually used. I have seen those laser cleaners. Pretty cool stuff. Im sure it would work well.
tell her to stop YELLING AT US!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry..guess I need to adjust the volume in the video! My apologies
J
Good Chance you might get more accomplished if you substitute the microphone for a dust mask and hand her a sander,,, geez , habla mucho mererida
Oh, believe me, she has done far more painstaking removal of paint than I have. I am not very good at picking up a camera and filming but someone has to. I would not hesitate to say she has ten times the amount of time and effort into the brutal jobs like paint removal as I have. You would be challenged to find someone who works as hard as her.
Wet blasting is a joke
It def took a very long time. Let's just say we do not hire them again to get the paint off the superstructure. Cheers. Janis
@@OnboardTangaroaSeatrialUltra high pressure water blasting may do it for you.
