@@TravelsWithGeordie Yep, I'm thinking it's probably the only wooden monk in the south east. I bought her in VT. She had been sitting on the hard for some time at a small marina on Lake Champlain. She was listed on the Monk Boat Club website (before they closed it down). Not a bridgedeck like yours, more of a round bottom cabin cruiser. Built by Suldan's Boat Yard in Port Orchard, WA. I talked with Suldan's, and they said she had been built to do the inside passage, so she's pretty sturdy. Anyhow, she's been a labor of love (either that or I'm just nuts)...especially keeping a wooden boat in southern waters!
Peter. Nice varnish work. Related to the phrase about , staying out of the finish surface. I’m right handed with long arms. Like the modular dock idea too. Stay safe. Oh yeah SHED. Working inside the floating in closure, really helps you shed the worry of getting wet.
Living in the Astoria Oregon area with about 80 inches of rain a year, a boat shed is a huge benefit when working on boats. I just started using tongue oil on my bright work-thanks for introducing it to me. Have a great week!!
It sounded like you were changing a diaper when you tore into the back of the cabin. I love boat work. I could sit and watch it all day.🙂 that shed is awesome!
I like wood boats a LOT better when the wood is covered everywhere in fiberglass ;) For just the reasons we just witnessed, lol. RAN sailing is on the right track. When I worked with wood I always used cheese cloth pads before the varnish.
I once watched a sailor who said He spent all his days in the shed He was repairing his friend’s boat While it was still afloat And fixed the decaying bulkhead
G'day, Peter! Nice job! Enjoying the videos, on the annual maintenance for both MV Geordie, and MV Zephyrus!! By the way... Do you Remember! Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson... From Monty Python.

Lol! 🤣 Thank you! Cheers! ❤🛥✌🏻😊
@@TravelsWithGeordie Cool! That will be really awesome! Love these skits. Partly because, you remember they're boldly, bizarre freshness at the time, they came out and partly because the ideas, their physical humor, and facial expressions are still just funny. P.S. Having the boat house is a great gem! 👍🏼
Extending that shed is going to be great, I am looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Wish they made sheds you could get a sailboat into. I would have one!
Epifanes is one of the best ones I've used, Rylard is also excellent if you can find it. For large flat areas, at the boatyard where I used to work, we used a roller to apply the varnish and just tipped it with a brush to speed up the coats, and minimizing the risk of applying too much per coat. The 2-component polyurethane varnish for Epifanes is also very excellent for places where you want a clear varnish, and it takes abuse a bit better due to the hardener and general toughness of polyurethane.
You need to cut the whole back bulkhead out as close to the edges as possible using a jigsaw or a small circular saw. Then pull out the edges and clean up.
Your varnish jobs are awesome. You make it look so easy. I liked the way you explained how you mix the two components to get what your were looking for. Cheers! 🍻
Carnage, amazing how much filler others are comfortable replacing wood with. Will likely make my own deck hoop house a shed would be better though none even exist in my harbor in present day.
@@TravelsWithGeordie It appears polyester in hemp chopstrand was over qualified filler in non structural 110+ year old redwood. 😳 the sketch we do on land. For my next trick a denim fender.
Such a beautiful result from your varnish job on Zephryus! I am sure Lady Zephyrus will be very pleased. I so appreciate you sharing these parts of the life of owning a vintage wooden boat. You certainly are keeping very busy with M/V Geordi and M/V Zephyrus both needing some fairly major maintenance and I am so glad you have a shed to work in over the winter. I hope it has a source of heat!
I had a major boat project when the customer had a boat in a shed. The only comment against was the lack of lots of daylight needed for the interior refinish.
Well while you are doing Brightwork, work has been happening aboard Water Rail, not in a shed though, but in a houseboat, the engine that had the unfortunate overrun event was pulled out of the boat, stripped to its component parts, and the bent conrod removed, it appears the lift pump diaphragm split, filling the sump with diesel, when she overran, she sucked up some diesel and oil filling cylinder 2 and hydrolocking the engine, bending the conrod. anyway, with a new conrod, a new lift pump, valves and head gasket the engine was revived, and replaced in the boat, where it has been performing beautifully. That brightwork does look nice, that will be an upcoming task on water rail too in the near future.
Hello - you have a other boat, Poem, that needs a little work on it too. Ha e you thought about putting Poem in the shed? Just having the all boats being on the water and look like they are like new. Cheers.
Great job on Bright work looks Epic. With all the Rot in the back of the Wheelhouse why not laminate up an extension out past end there that way it would run off to the roof and by adding a drip strip underneath would stop water getting anywhere near wheelhouse roof just a thought. I have just extended my shed now 90 sqaure metres now bigger than the house and is where my 24ft Glass over ply Family Yacht lives whilst under resto she is a New Zealand designed Pelin Empress this one Powered by 2 x 70hp Outboards. Hull is Glassed deck and Cabin are wood only so refreshing all at present and will be adding door so can go cruising in winter. having that Boat shed is a real boon and good idea to do it so no matter which end you have in will fit. Excellent vid. Landrovers forever I have a 1997 Discovery 1. Will never by a new car no Character any more just rounded Blobs.Carry on.
I was thinking that if you could somehow router a small 1/8” channel on the underside of the rub rail, that it would diminish or even prevent the water from wicking into that area in the future. The channel could function as a type of drip edge.
You can shed your worries about Lady Zephyrus approving of your bright work. Looks like you did a great job. Would love to see footage of when you back into the shed and the modifications involved for that to happen.
Access to the shed has certainly been a game changer. I might have missed it, but I am assuming that you can stay aboard while the boat is in the shed.
As usual Peter, great video and lovely descriptive work when your working in that amazing boat shed! The back drops to your video s are always fantastic. Another aspect to consider when varnishing or spraying even is temperature and therefore what temperature was or is it and how much time do you have before it’s too cold to varnish? We’re visiting our sons in Japan for a while 😊after 3 years and this is the perfect Monday morning start to the day🙌🙌. Everyone is bracing themselves for the typhoon which is coming and expected tomorrow so thanks once again from Utsunomiya 👍
Thanks Stephen. It's in the low 20's during the day and down into the mid teens overnight. At these temps I have to wait two days to sand and recoat. Stay safe!
You could face up the interior with a beautiful mahogany wood template with window frames which would be visible from the outside and no more rot problems.
Hey Peter, love your style, love your work, love your show, I'm restoring a trawler up in Campbell River, refinishing the Teak Parquet floors, what do you use after you apply tongue oil? Varnish or some kind of Poly top coat(s)?
Peter, what is that magic oil called you are using ? I have to sand and protekt my teak handrail of my motoryacht. Hope I can buy it here in the Netherlands. Keep up the good work young man !!
Varnish is not just garnish! Varnish protects and keeps Bad varnish may badly tarnish The woodwork of your whole fleet! Good thing then, you shed no varnish, Not in nor outside the shed! Lady Z might create carnage, Or at least she'd ne'er forget!
Why does the rub rail and other protrusions not have a drip grove on the underside like a window sill to stop water from running underneath and causing rot like you have here?
How can the boat house be extended like what double the length? Is that even possible? Does the place its moored at not care about an extra-long boat house?
Every man (or some women) need a good shed. Whether your artistic, or into restorations, or into carpentry, God forbit you are in the dog-house and you find you would rather be there than with your partner. Maybe she finally realizes and says .... "well go to your Fxxxing shed" .... you are happy.
Aaah, my escape from the madness of the world. Thank You, Peter
It's my escape too...
Oh man! I feel your pain. Dealing with the same issues on my wooden Monk here in South Carolina.
You’re so lucky to have a boathouse!
What? Wait, you have a Monk in SC!?!
It's a long way from home'

The word is shed, Our Peter said, Zephyrs pristine, With her new varnish sheen. ❤
Sweeeeet!
A shed and a tarp and a rope: I love it, I love it, I love it.
(PS you're actually one of a very few boaters who "thinks", gotta love it man)
Heh, that's very kind
"relatively exploratory gentle destruction" love it!!Such a way with words. Thanks for the video.
The view out of your shed is wonderful.
Gosh it is.
Peter. Nice varnish work. Related to the phrase about , staying out of the finish surface. I’m right handed with long arms. Like the modular dock idea too. Stay safe. Oh yeah SHED. Working inside the floating in closure, really helps you shed the worry of getting wet.

Keep going on the work you are doing ,and shed the work you are doing on for your lady friends boat a little bet at a time .
That's the plan!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Thanks Milt, you too.
It's hard not to shed a tear when I see Geordie standing on the swim platform during the outro segment.
Yes, me too, I keep thinking I'll change it, but not yet.
@@TravelsWithGeordie Why it's a lovely photo off your old friend, please keep it.
That sealant kicks ass! You should look into making a panel of pure sealant. It could save tons of time.
The shed will pay for itself.
With three boats, yes!
It sounded like you were changing a diaper when you tore into the back of the cabin. I love boat work. I could sit and watch it all day.🙂 that shed is awesome!
It was certainly poop...
Its really good to see you have the proper environment to get that important restoration done on those beautiful Monks.
Thanks Petter
Looking forward to viewing the work to be done in the shed.

And fixed the decaying bulkhead
Yes!! Love it, love it, love it!!
@@TravelsWithGeordie I had to make a slight edit. It flows better now. Cheers!
More woodwork repairs and less varnishing - the varnish fumes make the beer go flat. Another great video - looking forward to seeing that repair.
I have been turned on to Stop Loss Bags, perfect for keeping your varnish after opening the can - no more lumpy, congealed mess!
Hmmm, must look into those.
You can get theStop Loss bags at Lee Valley. I’ve used them for years for both varnish & enamel.

It’s always great to see how you shed your worries at the end of the video. Keep up the good work

Indeed!
Your explanations shed light on the situation Peter.

It's going to be tough
Carnage, amazing how much filler others are comfortable replacing wood with. Will likely make my own deck hoop house a shed would be better though none even exist in my harbor in present day.

Wow !!! The brightwork looks stunning now ! Well done you :)
If not properly thinned the brush will start to DRAG on you. Newer cinthetic brushes that are not cheep brushes are fairly good.
True and very true.
Ya I miss Geordie he had one job loving you and he did it well piece out Peter
sheds are good to shed the rain that is coming.
Thank you Peter, you've shed some light on some mistakes I've been making with my varnishing. I will do better in the future, hopefully.

Thanks, and no, no heat in the shed but plenty aboard the boats.
And yes, as Jake mentions, MV Poem as well. She moves in Nov 1.
I had a major boat project when the customer had a boat in a shed. The only comment against was the lack of lots of daylight needed for the interior refinish.
This is very true. I'll be in here all winter redoing Poem's interior.
Lots of lighting!

Yes, in fact there are drip edges in some places. The trick is making them big enough they don't bridge over time with crud or varnish
You can shed your worries about Lady Zephyrus approving of your bright work. Looks like you did a great job. Would love to see footage of when you back into the shed and the modifications involved for that to happen.
You will definitely see lots of moving boats in the shed.
Seems like you open a big can of warms on the bulkhead! I’m glad you can do such job inside the shed…
Gosh me too!
Great work Peter! That shed is paying for itself every day!!
Indeed
Something like the wooden boat within the shed began to shed its wood under the gentle attack of Peter
Out with the rot, In with nice dry sapele!
I m supprised steel fasteners have used in the🎉in boat construction
I am too. mostly non original.
A simple classic boat. An old sturdy shed. The great environment of Genoa bay. A hard to beat trinity in the true biblical sense.
It is a lovely existence.
Access to the shed has certainly been a game changer. I might have missed it, but I am assuming that you can stay aboard while the boat is in the shed.
Yes indeed. Not terribly pleasant but ever so productive.
I would love to have a shed for my boat as it would be great for all the painting and suchlike as she is steel.
You mentioned enlarging/extending the shed. Pray tell.
The plan is to extend it 10' next year.
Should be fun.
Ne'er cast (shed) a clout till May is oot. Local conditions may apply (BC)
Ha!, yes, especially this past year.
Why are you surprised it’s still wet? The boat is soaking in the ocean. Last time I dipped a toe in the ocean, it was wet.
Um, it's 6 feet above the water.
@@TravelsWithGeordie That was a perfectly good joke that was plum wasted.
Afternoon Peter...are you interested in another project wooden boat...its in Genoa bay....directly north of your vessel... its a constellation...
Heh, I don't think I dare.
Is it up in the upper bay?
wow this video just flew bye felt like seconds.
Heh, is that good or bad?
The bright work looks great. Will you enlarge the window in rotted area?
Yeah I thought bigger windows for Lady Z too x
Good question, we're debating that right now.
peter, found it thanx anyhow kind regards Bert

Stay safe!
I need a shed to work on my new to me classic car.
Why not consider making the whole of back bulkhead entirely of glass ... just a thought.
I might, but Lady Z is not too keen.
It does provide some structural bracing too.
You could face up the interior with a beautiful mahogany wood template with window frames which would be visible from the outside and no more rot problems.
Very nice work. I don't thin Epifanes after about coat three.
Yes, nor I, other than for brush ability.
Then I thin the last one for best flow out.
Great video! Thanks! How many coats of Epifane you plan to apply??
Hey Peter, love your style, love your work, love your show, I'm restoring a trawler up in Campbell River, refinishing the Teak Parquet floors, what do you use after you apply tongue oil? Varnish or some kind of Poly top coat(s)?
Thoughts on expanding the view aft through the aft bulkhead and/or providing an opening window?
Possibly both
Peter, what is that magic oil called you are using ? I have to sand and protekt my teak handrail of my motoryacht. Hope I can buy it here in the Netherlands. Keep up the good work young man !!
Varnish is not just garnish!
Varnish protects and keeps
Bad varnish may badly tarnish
The woodwork of your whole fleet!
Good thing then, you shed no varnish,
Not in nor outside the shed!
Lady Z might create carnage,
Or at least she'd ne'er forget!
Awesome!
Someday
Why does the rub rail and other protrusions not have a drip grove on the underside like a window sill to stop water from running underneath and causing rot like you have here?
Good question, some actually do. The trick is to make them big enough to be effective over time.
@@TravelsWithGeordie Would it be worth running the router round those areas affected to see if it helps?
Roughly how much does one of those boat sheds cost?
About $60k
Hi Peter, how does boat shed ownership work? do you still have to pay marina fees for the dock? do you have to pay property taxes?
How can the boat house be extended like what double the length? Is that even possible? Does the place its moored at not care about an extra-long boat house?
I'll be adding 10 feet. The marina is quite happy about it, they get to charge more moorage.
Why do you use oil instead of marine varnish? Isn't varnish more durable?
you explained it later.
I only use tung oil for the first coat. Then many many coats of varnish. Yes, it's much more durable.
But Geordie never shed did he?
Not until has later years, And not much.
Question: Do you need an epiphany to pronounce Epifanes? Is that just a variation in spelling? Or is that two completely different words?
Ha!, I just can't say. The mind reels.
So is that a she shed or he shed
She is!
I couldn't resist the pun
Every man (or some women) need a good shed. Whether your artistic, or into restorations, or into carpentry, God forbit you are in the dog-house and you find you would rather be there than with your partner. Maybe she finally realizes and says .... "well go to your Fxxxing shed" .... you are happy.
