The position of the bilge pump at 03:38 looks neat. That's a handy small pump design. Having two exits can help identify which pump is operating when you're out on the water.
It is a big undertaking having a TH-cam channel to document your progress. I too am finally getting major stuff done on my 5M boat. Just little nice to have things to add, left to do. Oh and any mishap repairs along the way.
Hi Joe. Yes it certainly is a lot of work, especially when work kicks off too. I think some changes are afoot for next season as this winter hasd been a lot going on and I have a lot to do!!! I think less video but better quality. I have been experiementing with editing and music a bit this winter and the results have been good.
Thank you for this video. If you are fed up with varnishing, you could do as me : I'm only using "glaze". It's not so shiny but very easy to use. One quickly coat every year and the wood stay safe.🙂
@@christophe6065 Just been having a quick look at and indeed "Lasure" is a product. Infact it looks like the barnd "SikkenS" is a lasure and I know that fairly well. Much better than varnish as it leaves the pores open , and it soaks into the wood, rather than coats it. The issue with Varnish (Other than the 2500 coats needed when applied) is that it has to form a complete coating. One bash or crack and the whole thing is compromised. I have also seen wood thats getting moisture from somewhere else go funky underneat the varnish. I just don;t like the stuff really so will be definitely looking at some of this for Mochyn Dun next time round. Fortunately Lulu doesn;t have much wood and I teak what she has as its all hardwood Iroko.

Yes you can tell I have a "Mission critical" IT background!! I like redundancy and not having a single point of failure!!
Another great episode ❤
Cheers Tommo, Some progress at last!

I never heard of "Glaze"!!! I will have a look into that!
@@SailingWithDave Glaze is the google translation for "lasure" in french. A sort of very very liquid varnish.
