- Before we go on any more sailing adventures, we have some sailboat business to take care of. Rebedding deck hardware and refinishing the rudder. I need more sailing and less fixing!

If you had taken your teak wood and used a pressure washer it would remove the grey and brought it back to a new look. Let it dry and then sand and varnished it would look new and it easier then sanding the grey off.
I did exactly all of these same items on my Cat 22 back in May (I purchased it in March)... Don't know why people don't take care of the wood - its not cheap to replace. Varnish and a little time is extremely cheap/Easy from my perspective as compared to restoring. Working on New Curtains now and in a few weeks it will be in winter storage until mid March next year. I had great sail from Camano Island State park WA, North along Whidbey Island towards Coupeville and back last Wednesday. Very light winds but we were making 3 knots along the way. Beautiful day and super smooth water. Got to see Puget Sound (Harbor) Porpoises everywhere along the way - very cool. Super love my Cat-22. Thanks for the video!
Your commentary about taking the time to do preventive work instead of waiting etc. Well, I used to be a complete freak about everything! Make the bed first thing in the morning and go from there, drill instructor style, I wouldn't go to bed if there was a dish in the sink, etc. Relentless. Then my wife left me, she was my best friend, my confidante, she was my soul mate, but I found out that I wasn't her soul mate. Depression set in. And I became that guy who'd let things go. I did things that the former me would lose all respect for, publicly shame me for, etc. Things happen, priorities change. Depression let's things slide that many people would've never let slide before. You don't learn about money when your rich, you learn about money when you're broke, you learn about love when your heart gets broken, you learn how to do the job right after you fuck it up, even though you might've done it right before...gotten lucky possibly. So be patient with people. One never knows what happened to them, what they used to be like, what they're going through, maybe their puppy just died! Depression sucks, and it's not something you can just kick with ppsitive intentions. I'm not giving anyone crap, I just thought of this when poster asked why people do things that seem like laziness. It's easier to kick a drug habit, at least that's a choice, depression for the most part isn't. It has to work itself through your system, like poison. It'll clear up, and you'll never be the same. You won't ask that question, you'll know probably why someone let a beautiful boat to rot. Sorry for the long rant. And you're doing a great job on that boat! That's a lucky girl that boat of yours!
Envious of your work ethic and video editing skills. You tell a good story and that is why I tune in. Thanks.
Enjoy watching..Very informative on the repair jobs..
That hand was terrifying haha 1:18
Interesting to watch your work. You are sure to get a good result.
Looks awesome, nice work
These are so helpful! And well done too. Thx
love the 'not gonna edit that' stuff
Looks good. I’d suggest not adding the filler to your teak though as it will really mess with the original look. If you varnish the hell over your wood those cracks will be covered anyways.
There’s no such thing as a cheap boat. But boats are awesome, so even the hard days are good days once the job is done.
I have a Catalina 22 also do not know the year #4971 inside the transom. What number is yours?
Put a backing plates on,
When you were bedding the hardware, how did you manage to keep the top of the screw from turning while you tightened it from below -- I have to to the same thing to mine.
It all depends on how clean the threads are... the combination of the sticky butyl tape and old screws meant that they didn't turn. I was able to finger tighten the nut all the way. So it probably depends on your situation. Maybe you can just do one as a test and see. Here's a tip - don't get any sticky tape on the threads of the bolts - the part that's in the cabin... that makes it way harder.
Hi, did you say that was Rustoleum antifouling? Never seen that before🤔
Yea, I put t he link in the description... it was seven bucks less on Amazon than Home Depot when I got it.
I’ve used their Topside primer and paint on a couple small boats that were epoxy/glass sheathed. I like the paint, price and availability. And it’s not too finicky to touch up.
Great stuff
Why did you use Gflex?
It's a lot more expensive compared to 105. (4 times the price here in Australia)
I've used Gflex when bonding to a flexible surface because it flexes with the material it is bonded to, definitely worth the price in that application but for filling holes it seems a waste.
Also why no filer? I used 411 with Gflex both when gluing and filling.
hmmm... the 105 seems to be only in gallons that I found for $90. I bought 4.5oz for $25. Just trying to seal out water so I don't have raw wood up against the bolts as the wood inside was a litttle worn and pitted. You probably know more about this than I do, but it's got to be better than it was before.

We are probably at the same level of experience. I learnt almost all I know about epoxy work from you tube! Mainly sail life and Andy at boatworks today
Prices in Australia are some what distorted due to the small market and the tyranny of distance. Gflex here is considered a specialty item, so suppliers up the price. I came across it when looking for a way to glue plywood to polyethylene (kayak).
I use a syringe to measure out resin from a large pot and am still on my first tin after nearly a year. My main project has been turning a sot plastic kayak into a sailing kayak,
I really enjoy your channel
Thanks for the complement and help. I also watch that boatworks channel sometimes. A syringe would be easier, but I'm impatient and use what I have laying around! As for the Kayak sailing, I'm very interested in this... we were looking at the Tandem Island sailing kayak but they cost more than Knot Enough. We tried kayak sails but it's really only for down wind.
@@AdventuresInParadise I have a couple of short videos of mine on youtube. Click on my username to see them
It's a .8 Sqm sail on a Bermuda rig with the stays just below the base of the boom. While none of the videos show it I can point about 60 degrees up into the wind in light winds. It's a work in progress. Going to wind above 10knots I have to paddle on the leeward side .
I have a 'center board' that helps with the pointing. The center board fit's up through a hole designed for house a fish finder.
Last outing I found that turning the rudder hard to point up into the wind has the opposite effect so I am going to add a fixed fin aft to balance the forces.
The rig collapses back down towards the seat so you can drop it in high winds for safetly. Unfortunately this means the mast step is pretty far forward hence the weather helm.
The rig was designed for a longer hard shell ocean kayak and not my short sit on top.
The rig easily drives the kayak to hull speed in light air and in the slightest of breezes gives a decent boast to paddling as you make your own wind.
I am planning to put a video going over the design layout. I'll let you know when I do.
Total cost including the Kayak about $1000USD. The rig and sail is Australian but I have seen equivalents for sale in the USA.
Hull speed is about 2-3 knots but it will occasionally surf a boats wake at 15Knots for a couple of seconds .
It;s a proper sail and does best on a beam reach .
I also have a 1Sqr m crab claw rig for the Kayak but am yet to master it to the point I can go up wind but it flies on a beam reach in light wind. It's simpler to fit to the kayak but harder to master
If you drilled bigger holes why not just put bigger bolts in?
because the idea is that where the old bolts were surrounded by wood that can take on water, the larger holes are filled with epoxy and redrilled so now the bolt has epoxy around it instead of wood - this is a common practice and works well.
Boaters mantra! Drill Fill Drill! Protect the core!
Every intelligent person HATES sanding!!! Lol! Well I am a lazy person... that's my excuse!
