Thanks guys!! And Hi James, thanks for all your help and advice during our time at RQ. We now have Spellbound up at Amble. If you're both ever up here in Takaza give us a shout and we will stick the kettle on!! Great to meet you. Love the channel. Blessings. M&S
Thanks so much and so glad you have managed to get up to Amble. We will definitely be calling up there this summer so will give you a shout! Sorry for the delay in replying, we have been away quite a bit in the last couple of week. Is everything going ok with Spellbound now?
@@GavinAndJames_LifeAfloat Hey!! Sorry I missed the notification. Looking forward to more of your channel. It's a relief to get the engine sorted but there's always something to do. Just installing a diesle heater now, then we need to refurb our sprayhood somehow. Loving your channel!!
Thank you James. My 28i doesn't have that hatch in the aft cabin, but I can see it is useful. I had the sail drive gator replaced as well as work on the rudder by the marina workshop at Gillingham, so interesting to see what actually happens :)
Hi David, I wonder if our aft cabin hatch was put in by one of the previous owners. I'm doing part 2 of the rudder bearing video next week and then we move onto the saildrive videos. I worked with James from Tyler marine on all the projects and feel like I've learnt loads and filmed as much as I can too. I feel really lucky as some contractors wouldn't have liked me working with them. Thanks for watching and hope you are managing to get out sailing!
All gone good thanks, we got everything done in the yard we wanted, but now the on water jobs start…and there’s loads! 😂 Hope you guys are doing good and enjoying yourselves!
Access to the top of the engine is a bit tight but that back access is a good design. Just noticed you do TH-cam as well, we will check out your videos. Nice to see another Etap! 🙂
Have you had your Etap long, what projects are you doing? We got a lot more to come...next video will be out within the next week showing step by step how to replace the bearings.
@@GavinAndJames_LifeAfloat Not very long, buy it in 2021, after that i planned a lot and do nothing ;-) Just today it is in my barn and i start today with rudder removal and Saildrive renovation. then comes the painting of the hull
They are great boats! Ours had previously been used for racing so had had a hard life and needed quite a bit of attention. We have some sail drive videos coming out soon which will show the process of removing and re-hauling it. Where about are you located?

I always find lining up for haul out so stressful. Nice work!
Cheers, I think I was more stressed this time worrying if the rudder was going to come off ok too.

Hope the jobs are going well gents! We hope you intend on showing us Marvin and Daisy’s signets!!

Genuinely upset by how much easier the access to the sail drive is on the 28 than on my 30. I still have PTSD from doing my diaphragm 😂

Ich stehe grade am Anfang des Refit meiner Etap 28i, bin sehr gespannt wie es bei Euch weitergeht.
