That umbrella idea IS FREAKING GENIUS! As you were laying out the bolt holes I’m thinking, “ he just cleaned out and sealed that tank and now he’s going to get metal shavings in it”? Then, POOF, the umbrella hack ! Brilliant, just brilliant!! ( genuflecting here )
I live in Norway's capital of rain...... and this is the first time I've ever seen an umbrella put to good use. That umbrella _ _ _ _ _ _ died a hero. May it rest in pieces (and shavings) Ps Tambi shuld be proud. Best regards from Jarle
Uhhh, great choice on choosing that boat!! Outside of the extensive cap rail repair that boat looks rock solid!! But then again you knew it is a problem area! You do good work! The wifey is really a trooper!!
That bow area of the so rail probably needs some sort of sacrificial plastic piece on it as the chain is bound to hit it sooner or later! Cheers Warren
I’m with you on that. I have some strips of stainless rub strakes that I intend to mount on either side to also give the snubber something to run over.
(mouth agape) Freaking brilliant with the umbrella. I’ve gotta steal that idea. (I wonder if it would work with little drink umbrellas for the inside of pvc tubes...)
Umbrella idea was genius !!! Tammy - a new umbrella ($5) is a lot less expensive than a new Racor ($15) filter that is clogged up with metal shavings !!! Go easy on my man Ben !!!!!!!!!!
Awesome video. Ben should replace the umbrella with chocolate. Just saying. Can’t tell you how much y’all inspire us to get a boat and travel. That you!
Thanks, Chuck. I believe she is. It was just a shock for her to see her pink umbrella shredded. I have a history of executing plans without first sharing my plans with others, so I get myself into trouble sometimes.
@@Sailboatstory I remember my father getting in "trouble" once for mixing plaster with my mother's electric mixer. He may have bought her a new one, I don't remember.
The non skid on the cap raise really does look like a pro job! Oh, and Tambi’s umbrella, what a very clever idea sir! Watching you reinstalling the cabin trim pieces really did finish off the project nicely. It must be tough not having your girls with you on the boat, but I know they are with you in spirit!
Thanks, Ed. It's tough for sure, but I won't be able to get away from them after we move back aboard so it'll balance out. I'm headed to the boat again tomorrow for another solo trip.
I think it's an Irwin 52-2 1982 since it's a cutter rig. There's an Irwin 52 ketch, with the mainmast forward of the cabintop; this one goes thru the cabintop.. The hull portlight count distinguishes it from the 46. Nice work on the forecabin.
love the videos you guys are awesome i have learned so much from watching how funny and corky the fam is cant wait for the next video i have missed a few and today is my day off so i have some binge watching to do lets get started hahah
Just wondering if this haul-out became a bigger job than you thought it would be? I know in my case, what I thought would be a 3-day job became a 3-week job. It was like exposing layers of an onion (if that makes sense).
No, not really. Aside from the cap rail project, which wasn’t a surprise other than realizing we had to do it sooner than later, it’s pretty much gone according to plan.
Ben I agree umbrella was awe inspiring way to catch the drill scraps. Tamby cut your man some slack he is one in a million there are lots of umbrellas in the world but only one of him which might be a good thing so my wife tells me often. I also excell at destroying things working on various projects and have often been on the receiving end of a displeased wife and her frustration with me. Keep up the good work the boats looking great.
I actually selected the woven cloth I used for the same reason. Came out silky smooth with no texture at all. Of course, just about all of it comes down to proper technique and application, I think, but the additional red filler make the final product look as though there was never any damage.
It's not that simple. She doesn't just want just ANY umbrella - she specifically wants the one that was destroyed. In other words, we don't need a new umbrella, we need a time machine so that the errors of the past can be corrected in the time/space continuum. Don't you understand women at all? 🤪
What is the name of this marina again? When you were walking down the dock I saw that they have the same light house style power hookups that we have at Clemson Marina... I need some new bulbs for a few of mine, but unfortunately the lighthouses and parts are now discontinued, and I can't find the bulbs anywhere. They're some sort of crazy led bulbs.... Perhaps I could call them and see if they have a parts supplier for them.
Please Tambi don't be angry with Ben for destroying your umbrella. He was just trying to keep metal shavings out of the diesel tank ensuring that your engine will work without fail. Just insert the umbrella in a garbage can, and nowhere else. Ben will thank you.😀
I think, if it had been me I would have wrapped the non-slip around at least the outboard edge, thats where you hit first when jumping on board... other wise brilliant work!
It's in the video description and in the little card links that pop up at the top of the video from time to time. I'll drop a link here as well: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TF3Q5S6Y9JGB?ref_=wl_share Thanks for asking. 😄
Remember keep drinking plenty of fluids we don't want you keel over the heat feels unbearable. I noticed the tanks don't seem to have any anti slosh baffles .or they have and I just need new glasses.....
It's a good thing you fixed your second bosses room. Be forewarned,I n your space and time continuum travels return with not one but TWO umbrellas. It's kind of a spittin image thing. I'm sure you are aware of this already. Just a friendly reminder.
ITS OFICIAL! The umbrella to catch shavings! GENNNNNNNNNIUS! YES, YOU SIR , are smarter than the average bear! Bar none! except your not a bear, duh. I stopped watching to post this message! Hey, the season starts in November soooooo dont sweat it. You ll be done by then and we will be sailing with you, so make a little room. Love ya all and Be Blessed!
@@thomastaylor6991 For sure. Cap rails are often wet, wet places are often slippery, and there's no way to know when we might need secure footing along the cap rail. It's one of those things that is tough to imagine all of the times when it will be helpful, but it will inevitably come in handy in the future.

Came to say the same thing.
That makes three!
And this make four : ) Brilliant my friend
Never underestimate the power of the "Dupont Overhaul". A coat of paint really makes stuff look better.
One of the main reasons I enjoy your channel is the ability to watch Paint Dry ! ! !
Okay, it may have to do with your sense of humor. Take care, RH
Either way, we're glad to have you. :)

HA! Oh my goodness.
I LOVE your comment! 🤣 ⛱
Ben you do really nice work, I like how you involve your wife , daughter ,praise them and lift them up ,Cheers from Canada

The craftsmanship of this videos is amazing. Love your channel.
Nobody makes videos like Sailboat Story. 🤪
Ok, ya got me with the umbrella... That was cool as heck! LOL
💡
Slow and steady wins the race.
We'll get there!
Tambi, your husband Ben is Brilliant! See how he sacrificed that umbrella to provide safe passage for his Family!! Excellent Ben!!
TAMBI 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
Umbrella ..... GENIUS!!
Flattered. ☺️

Good. Seems like a lot of people forget about water collected from condensation.
It's one of those things that there's no good way to avoid, that I know of. It just has to be dealt with as a matter of ongoing process.
(mouth agape)
Freaking brilliant with the umbrella. I’ve gotta steal that idea. (I wonder if it would work with little drink umbrellas for the inside of pvc tubes...)
Be gentle.

Go easy on my man Ben !!!!!!!!!!
...yeah, Tambi, I think Mark knows what he's talking about.
Pro job on the cap rails Ben. They look awesome
Thanks, Todd. We’re pleased with how it came out.
Awesome video. Ben should replace the umbrella with chocolate. Just saying. Can’t tell you how much y’all inspire us to get a boat and travel. That you!
Think that'll work?
Ben,that was a great idea to use the umbrella to keep the metal out of the “new” tanks. Tambi should be proud of your ingenuity.
Thanks, Chuck. I believe she is. It was just a shock for her to see her pink umbrella shredded. I have a history of executing plans without first sharing my plans with others, so I get myself into trouble sometimes.
@@Sailboatstory I remember my father getting in "trouble" once for mixing plaster with my mother's electric mixer. He may have bought her a new one, I don't remember.
I think that boat may be an Atlantic 55. I was looking at a couple a few years ago. Lots of different layouts available in them
Absolutely love you guys!
Glad to hear it, Don. 🥰
Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, RJ. 😁
Rock on crew, the cap rail looks magnificent!! Tambi, go easy on Ben, just not too easy! 😎

Thanks for noticing. 🤪
@@Sailboatstory next time have Tambi shake the paint. Lol
Loving the energy of these videos. Quality!
Glad to hear it. :)
What a great idea!
I surprise myself sometimes.
I think it's an Irwin 52-2 1982 since it's a cutter rig. There's an Irwin 52 ketch, with the mainmast forward of the cabintop; this one goes thru the cabintop.. The hull portlight count distinguishes it from the 46. Nice work on the forecabin.
Could be! I'm not certain. I'll have to take a closer look at the drawings.
My thought too. I just found an Irwin 52 on yachtworld that confirmed my guess.
Looks great 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
It's an old Irwin. I can tell by the superstructure.
Thoroughly enjoying your incredible work! You never give up! Great job! Can’t wait to see you on the water!
Glad you enjoy the videos! It's going to be great to be floating again.
Love this channel. This guy is excellent ... his wife is very cute too ... and his daughter is a great young girl as well ....
Thank you VERY much, Paul! 🥹
Ben, they make the “spot putty” in light blue. Red generally will bleed through over time..
Thanks man, I'll keep that in mind. Hope it doesn't bleed through though.
It is indeed a Sail Boat Story - Looking forward to seeing Y'alll back on the water - Thanks for sharing the story
Our pleasure!
Cabin looks great! Using an umbrella to catch the drilled-out material was genius!!!
I have a genius moment every once in a while. 🧐
I think for what this young couple is doing to this boat, a sacrificial umbrella will be the least of an issue. Well done sir.
I'm "hearting" your comment just for referring to us as a young couple.
Look at the big brain on Ben!
Oh, Tambi ☝️
Great putting that non-skid on the rail!!! Looks great and functional. Keep up the sweating to the Westsail!!
Yeah, that whole project came out great! Sweat we shall.
Go easy on Ben Tambi, he's done an awesome job on the fuel tank. His inventiveness is saving you $100's 😉😉👍👍
Yeah, Tambi - listen to Pete.
Enjoyed the piano music Ben..
Thank you. Been practicing for years.
As always, great video. Can’t wait to see you guys sailing the ocean blue.
Thank you!
Fantastic job!!! You continue to inspire us. (Thank you.) 💕😎💕😎💕
I really appreciate it. :)
Nice job
Thanks!

My guess was Irwin too. Lookin' good in the cabin!
Thanks. While Tambi was not pleased with the umbrella destruction, she was quite pleased with the outcome of the aft cabin.
It’s an Irwin!!
Irwin 43cc? That's my guess as well.

Youre moving onto a sailboat of both sandpaper and epoxy, repairs and ideas, youve just crossed over into....
The Sailboat Zone
🤯
Nice Analogy ! Gave me a chuckle ! ( I could hear the distinctive voice in my mind )
PS: You may enjoy Angelina Jordan for a musical 'experience' . . .
she is u n i q u e .
The cap rail looks fantastic, Keep it up
Thanks 👍
For next time, best to use veil matting instead of fabric on a cosmetic repair, less chance of the fabric pattern not bleeding through on finishing
I actually selected the woven cloth I used for the same reason. Came out silky smooth with no texture at all. Of course, just about all of it comes down to proper technique and application, I think, but the additional red filler make the final product look as though there was never any damage.
Irwin 42 center cockpit
That's kind of what I'm thinking, or maybe a tad bigger.
Hudson is the make I believe or Formosa.
Could be. I still don't know for sure.
Just add an umbrella to your amazon wish list
It's not that simple. She doesn't just want just ANY umbrella - she specifically wants the one that was destroyed. In other words, we don't need a new umbrella, we need a time machine so that the errors of the past can be corrected in the time/space continuum. Don't you understand women at all? 🤪
Nice job 👍
Thanks 👍
Ben, I think you're the only person with a goofier sense of humor than mine 🤪
It's an honor, Sir.
nice work...
thanks...
What is the name of this marina again? When you were walking down the dock I saw that they have the same light house style power hookups that we have at Clemson Marina...

That is Reynolds Yacht Park that I was walking through. It's some 300 yards away from Holland Marine, where we are on the hard right now.
Great video, love watching you guys.
Glad you enjoy it!
Is that centre cockpit boat an Erwin, nice
Please Tambi don't be angry with Ben for destroying your umbrella. He was just trying to keep metal shavings out of the diesel tank ensuring that your engine will work without fail. Just insert the umbrella in a garbage can, and nowhere else. Ben will thank you.😀
Perhaps your message will inspire her to have mercy on me.
Buy Tambi a new umbrella *and* a margarita.. that should get you back in her good books!
Not just one or the other, huh?
Yeah... you're probably right...
Blatant disregard for the health and well-being of umbrellas was shown! A definite case for appropriate compensation
I think it might have been broken before the project.
Looking good so far! When do you set ssil?
Sometime around the end of the year.
Hardin 45
Does kind of have that shape.
Great job Ben now you have a good hiding place for the drugs. Lol. Lots of love

I think, if it had been me I would have wrapped the non-slip around at least the outboard edge, thats where you hit first when jumping on board... other wise brilliant work!
Not a bad concept.

www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TF3Q5S6Y9JGB?ref_=wl_share
Thanks for asking. 😄
Now just fill the sealed tanks before you make water from condensation
They’re bone-dry so far.
Remember keep drinking plenty of fluids we don't want you keel over the heat feels unbearable. I noticed the tanks don't seem to have any anti slosh baffles .or they have and I just need new glasses.....
They each have 2 baffles, that's why I added 2 inspection ports.
When you tear up the wife's stuff, you throw it away immediately and it's just lost! I wouldn't do it, but I've heard of it happening.
Mmmhmm. 🤣
It's a good thing you fixed your second bosses room. Be forewarned,I n your space and time continuum travels return with not one but TWO umbrellas. It's kind of a spittin image thing. I'm sure you are aware of this already. Just a friendly reminder.

Thanks for not mocking my sweatband. :)
Who’s going to be waking on the cap rail 🤷♂️
Same person who goes to sleep on it, I suppose.
The person who is helping the person out of the water onto deck will more than likely appreciate the non skid on the caprail.

I bet Tamby thought of the umbrella trick - dang I just read the reply to @garywaggoner1953!
She has some great ideas, but that one was my own.
