Bryan you are a legend., I repaired a ten foot fiberglass rowboat ( ex hire) when I was 17. (1977)It was a badly done job. I had Absolutely no Help but it lasted for years. I am now repairing a fiberglass canoe. I Think With all the information available And with your determination and enthusiasm. As a mentor. I am optimistic I can do a better job then 43 years a go. Thanks Brian. keep making videos. And good luck
Although you are very modest, you have been elevated to "Professor Bryan". By sharing your expertise and experience you make the audience understand the importance of a safe repair. Thank you!
You’ve got a very good start on the glass reconstruction and it nice to see your progress. As a good size Collision and restoration facilities owner for 40 yrs I’ve done my share of fiberglass repairs and your doing a great job and it looks like your avoiding one of the biggest mistakes in glass work by NOT Over Catalyzing your resin, of course if you did in that hot Florida sun you probably would have set your boat on fire from the heat created ! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
You are going to make a good teacher for us wanting to learn. You’re just one step ahead of us, we can’t learn off an expert because they don’t take the time to get into the basic detail. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Loving it. great tech talk. When you watch an expert explain something they often miss a lot of assumed knowledge, things that seem obvious to them. When you watch a self taught person you often get more details as well as insights into how they got to grasp the concepts. The latter is the case here.
I rarely comment but I want you to know I am enjoying your project very much. I have built boats and rebuilt a totaled Class A motorhome as well as other large scale, multi-year projects. I like your honesty in how much work is involved and how much it is going to cost. Few people have any idea how much a major project takes in time, abilities, and money. I'm enjoying the simple explanations of various materials, why and where they are used, and the costs. Far too many people use cheap materials then try to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. Keep up the great video work!
Nice video. I was surprised and happy to see that the structures book is still in print. It was the first text book we were given in Engineering classes back in 1983. I have thrown out most of my college books but that one has remained on my shelf. Best explanation of structural engineering ever!
I know that you are feeding us back wisdom compiled from a lot of reading and research. I love that you are applying it with this salvage rebuild. It is like drinking from a firehose so the practical application portions of the video are greatly valued. ( Yes that sounds like we like watching you work :P )
Nice job Bryan! I can honestly say that I have been watching many of these sailing boat repairs on U tube for months and this is the first time I have ever seen anyone explain the various fiberglass strand types. Looking forward to seeing the resin version. Cudos to your presentation style, it is entertaining to watch.
A thought on the roof. I saw one cat that had a built in rain gutter. It uses it as a water catchment system. And adding a lip around the edge would help strengthen it. Love your videos. Thank you!!!
I like this idea, but I don’t like the idea of birdshit also being funneled in the (was) freshwater tank! A tarp is another option, but of course you have to be able to secure it, and with rain comes Wind💨 🙈🤨
The st Francis cats have a built in rain catcher, you can retro fit with something like fiddles used to stop things come off table tops. Some boats have the rain catcher built in to act as a handrail too. You can easily filter the water before it goes in your tank or keep it for not drinking water applications. It's way cheaper than a watermaker and uses no power as long as you have rain! Cheers Warren
Bryan, new subscriber here, currently binge watching to get caught up. I’ve been watching sailing vids for years. Your video is the most informative video I’ve ever seen about fiberglass fabric. Simply explained in layman’s terms with visual models. Thank you for your effort. Fiberglass fabric finally makes more sense to me now!
Bryan, you are so engaging! We are loving your videos, information fill, and excitement building--it's kind of like an addition! We are behind, so now we have to catch up!!! Uncle Jim and Aunt Joy
I absolutely love love your channel. My wife and I are purchasing the next Antares from Argentina and love the support they have given you!! Makes me even more confident in our purchase. Your passion is so infectious!!! Keep up the great work and love learning from you.
Thanks. Good choice on the Antares, the more I tear into the boat and see how well it is designed and built the more happy I am that I bought it. I'm super excited for you to get your new boat.
@@BryanSailing thanks!!! Keep up the great work and can't wait until I see more videos and the progress that you are making. Good luck and I know the whole Antares team is rooting for you!!!! So good to see you breathe life back into the boat.
Finally, someone like me who is tackling something without knowing all the ends and outs. I'm coming back to the States after all this corona stuff(currently stuck in the Philippines) with plans on doing something very similar. So thanks, good to see those growing pains...and helpful techy type knowledge. Best of luck with the workflow.
The most intimidating part of this type of work is understanding the boat components and how they work together to form a structure that will flex and still support the forces applied.
I have to say, Bryan, I have great admiration for your derring do in even THINKING about taking this on and I'm very impressed with your ability to solve problems as they arise. The number of software engineers/programmers I know that would be willing to take on such things I can count on the fingers of ONE hand. Your videos have re-inspired me to get to work on the RV project I started two years ago but have allowed to sit idle for the last several months. It would be extremely helpful if you could get organized to the point that you could have video of you working the fiberglass/foam core laminations but I understand that you are at least is concerned with getting your project going as you are with making videos. Don't give up and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Wow great progress. You have fixed probably the most compromising hole in the boat at this point. I learned a lot about fiberglass and I used to make surfboards many years ago. Good luck on the project. I think it's clear that you can do it. You seem to be approaching it the proper way.
Bryan, I’m also doing a sailboat refurbish, but nothing near the extent that you are doing. But, if I was doing a major repair, I’d surely want you on my team, ‘cause you know how to get things done. I’m sure that most of us thought that you were in WAY over your head, at first. But, you already knew who you were, and now we’re finding out too. Great videos and thanks for taking the time to share your journey with us!
I love the 'Learn by Doing' philosophy! The tech talk was great and thanks for taking the extra time to explain the various materials that are commonly available and there differences.
Thanks for the fiberglass class. I’ve been working with surfboard fiberglass for years. Mostly the 4 and 6oz stuff but it was great to learn about all these other types of glass used in boat building. Keep it up Bryan! This project is gonna turn out great
Good work mate!!! Love the vids keep them coming, I am liking the technical details you put in about the different types of Fiberglass. The best way to learn is to just get out there and give it a go!!!
The end result looked great. Who cares if it looks like a calamity while filming. That’s the best part because, everyone likes to see a comedy. Keep it up
Ironically I was stuck in the traffic jamb on Wickam Rd and Sarno the day you you moved this project. This is very interesting! I've used fiberglass cloth for many years (mostly automotive) and never knew much of what you have explained. Thank you for sharing this information. I will continue to follow. Can't wait to hear more about resins.
Very well explained, I’ve only really used polyester and vinylester, with roven and CSM fibreglass. From an expert in fibreglass came the information that you should use CSM between roven wovens, backed up by testing by CSIRO. This is not allowing for the other types of fibreglass. I’m certainly NO Expert, and just sharing the little I’ve learned. I’ll look forward to your next episode! Thanks for sharing and stay safe. 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
I know what you mean regarding the intense heat during the day and trying to work with glass and resins. On the other hand, I'm a little envious as winter is rapidly setting in here in Downeast Maine. It won't be long before we're freezing our butts off and shoveling snow - resins don't like such conditions and that type of work comes to a screeching halt for the next 6 to 8 months (if working outside)! As I'll shortly have to halt work on my new sailboat construction fairly soon, I'll live vicariously through watching your project progress each week here on TH-cam. BTW - you did a great job with your "tech-talk" and I think you made excellent progress since your last video. Keep at it!👍
Well, that was a good lesson. Fiberglassing is really hard, but the more you do it the better you get....nerve racking because the resin hasn’t got a lot of time, you better go fast, that’s hard! Thank you, looking forward to your next episode. Thank you!
Thanks. When it's hot like Florida, that resin kicks fast. One of the reason I don't have good video doing the lamination, but I'm getting it figured out.
I found that a good description . Not much to question. I have 15+ years in hands on commercial fiberglass work and continue to be involved in the tooling side mainly. It did not really come up but you did not mention that CSM ( chopped strand mat) is measured in OZ per square ft. Woven/ knit by the squ yd. You did not seem to consider that as a good repair material , which it is. Especially with the weird shapes you have to work with that CSM can conform to so much better , but I've been doing it so long I can laminate just about anything! Cheers Warren
Loved the explanation. Thanks so much for showing us your progress. I hope you explain your ultimate workflow and how it came about to work best. Great job!
Hi Bryan! I wrote something in your last episode. When you cut out broken foam parts, do it in an angle about 30 degree. Also the new part to glue in. There you have more area to glue together. In germany we called it "schäften". Take a look in the wiki then you know what i mean. A small but important tip from a german boatbuilder. Greets Paddy
Thanks for the tips! In English it's called a scarf joint. The videos are a week or two delayed so I haven't done any core since your last comment, but I may try it on the next time...
Bryan great job..i even got my wife to watch your videos, we are planning on buying a catamaran and we may consider one that needs TLC like yours....depends on your progress so keep them coming! Thanks bud.
Hey Bryan! Way to go on the build and exercising your fearlessness muscles. I have been watching a lot of different channels and their voyages in different parts of the world. Is that crazy to think that it will be you one day?? Stoked for you, buddy!
Great videos Bryan!! Keep working hard and live the dream buddy, I hope to replicate what your doing in the next ten years! Thank you for sharing your journey and I’m buying that book you mentioned!!
Well, once again great video! awesome fiberglass info and love to see the progress on the boat! You are getting better and better at the videos and quite quickly I might ad, keep em coming brother, gonna be awesome to see this all the way to the water and beyond! Good stuff man!
Love how you broke down the tech talk to make it very easy for us fiberglass dummies to understand. You mention your potential design for a cat. At some point that could make a great episode.
Before my channel took off I did an episode over a year ago on the design of the boat and RC model that I built from it: th-cam.com/video/IMcRJWoOXaU/w-d-xo.html
You should do a Tech Talk Tuesday or Thursday. I think taking on a project like this is a big undertaking. I am thinking about doing something like this also. It is nice to know that you don't have to be an expert, but you do have to patient. :)
Enjoing your cander. Or funny as you go project. I have bought and sold 12 Boston Whaler projects with my "learn as I go project" while keeping a day job too. The name of the game is "daily progress"!
I know there is something wrong with when I always crack myself up when editing my own videos- glad somebody else apricates my humor. So true on the "daily progress"
Hey Bryan, greetings from SV Serenity, Antares 4434. Would like to make a public comment about how amazing your videos are. Super instructive, even though I haven't had a need for major repairs on my boat (knock core, right!?). It helps prepare for all eventualities. You are so very much appreciated. THANK. YOU! Mark.
Your welcome. I just joined the Antares group and it's amazing how welcoming they are despite the condition of my boat. Antares is a great boat and I'm looking forward to sailing mine someday.
The "experts" usually don't want to give away their expertise as its $ involved. The self taught independent does not have that conflict of interests. Thank you for your honesty . Want to congratulate you as you picked the right cat brand to fix IMHO..
Thanks. The more I "tear into" the Antares the more I like the way it is built. I don't want to insult anybody's boat, but there is a big difference in between a boat built for charter and this boat. Nothing wrong with a boat designed for charter if that's what you are looking for.
@@BryanSailing by way, check all bulkheads joints exterior and interior for stress cracks..if you don't find much , she should be fine. Mast step compression etc. Bests
You're doing great, man! There are tons of utube videos with slow mo of process/etc, but not so much of knowledge applied to the particular case: e.g which fiberglass to use and why, and which resin and why. I'm really looking forward to your series! Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it!:)
Very interesting. Feels good to see that it's possible to get seemingly difficult glass work done without being a professional. I'll never get used to these crazy units of measure though; ounces/square yard? Oh come on america :D
Bryan you are a legend., I repaired a ten foot fiberglass rowboat ( ex hire) when I was 17. (1977)It was a badly done job. I had Absolutely no Help but it lasted for years.

So, SO, important for me! I’m 70 and repairing a 1990 Hunter 36 holes in the hull! Very grateful!
I had every intention of skipping the technical fiberglass talk but you described it in a way that let me learn despite myself. Thank you,
You are welcome. That really makes me feel like I'm accomplishing what I want in the tech talk when I hear things like that.
Agreed! The world of fiberglass is unknown to me and this was a great introduction. Keep up the "BS"!😁
Same view
You are going to make a good teacher for us wanting to learn. You’re just one step ahead of us, we can’t learn off an expert because they don’t take the time to get into the basic detail. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Iam not looking for a teacher i am looking to see boat repairs i am gone enjoy teaching
I appreciate that! I'll do my best to explain what I learn.
Loving it. great tech talk.
When you watch an expert explain something they often miss a lot of assumed knowledge, things that seem obvious to them. When you watch a self taught person you often get more details as well as insights into how they got to grasp the concepts. The latter is the case here.

Much appreciated! Thanks for joining. ⛵🌴🌴
You can do it ..... just stop saying you can't.......seriously
I quit my job in Phoenix last month, drove up the coast, bought a used sailboat in Seattle and now I'm living on it. Life is what you make it!
I bought an Australian top hat 25 footer mk2.
I just discovered this channel,and and binging it, can’t hardly wait to watch between my normal everyday activities thank you!!
Best description of fiberglass I have seen in a while or ever on a boat channel
I admire your boldness to take on a project of this magnitude.
Nice video. I was surprised and happy to see that the structures book is still in print. It was the first text book we were given in Engineering classes back in 1983. I have thrown out most of my college books but that one has remained on my shelf. Best explanation of structural engineering ever!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I learned alot of good stuff about fiberglass.
I know that you are feeding us back wisdom compiled from a lot of reading and research. I love that you are applying it with this salvage rebuild.

Glad you like my presentation style, because most people say it's the only style I have.
You just won me, keep it technical, the more work you can share the better, stay safe, looking forward to more videos!
I am watching and learning. Thanks for the knowledge. Please keep making them, and I’ll keep watching and liking them.
A thought on the roof. I saw one cat that had a built in rain gutter. It uses it as a water catchment system. And adding a lip around the edge would help strengthen it. Love your videos. Thank you!!!
Cool idea! The Antares has a gutter designed into the hardtop, interesting idea to put one on the cabin too.
I like this idea, but I don’t like the idea of birdshit also being funneled in the (was) freshwater tank! A tarp is another option, but of course you have to be able to secure it, and with rain comes Wind💨 🙈🤨

You can easily filter the water before it goes in your tank or keep it for not drinking water applications.
It's way cheaper than a watermaker and uses no power as long as you have rain! Cheers Warren
Most rain catchment systems have a way to let you manually send water overboard the first 10 minutes of a storm until the roof gets cleaned off.
Kick ass, my new favorite boat refit channel.
Welcome aboard. Thanks for joining

Go for it.. it's the best way to learn -- that's my motto.
I really enjoyed the technical talk on fiberglass cloth. Thanks for the video.
The most intimidating part of this type of work is understanding the boat components and how they work together to form a structure that will flex and still support the forces applied.
That's a great idea for a future video. I'll see if I can figure out a cool way to explain it.
I have to say, Bryan, I have great admiration for your derring do in even THINKING about taking this on and I'm very impressed with your ability to solve problems as they arise.

I'm glad it inspired you to get going on your project again. The new video launching later today has lot of video footage of lamination
Wow great progress. You have fixed probably the most compromising hole in the boat at this point. I learned a lot about fiberglass and I used to make surfboards many years ago. Good luck on the project. I think it's clear that you can do it. You seem to be approaching it the proper way.
Thanks 👍
I like the balance of tech and practical in your episodes. You have tackled a huge project and I look forward to following your progress.
As I start my own restoration project, I really appreciate you doing this..

so nerdy, so awesome. Good stuff, Bryan.
You've got me hooked Bryan. Very informative, I am with you all the way. Well done!!!!!
I appreciate that! Thanks
Epic video. I think I just learned more about cloth than anywhere else! I’ll definitely back for the resin chat. Thx Brian.
Thanks. I'm going to try to keep all of the tech talk just as interesting and I have a lot more to cover.. so stay tuned
I love the 'Learn by Doing' philosophy! The tech talk was great and thanks for taking the extra time to explain the various materials that are commonly available and there differences.
Glad it was helpful!
you are a great teacher.
loved your lecture on glass fibres👍
Wow, thank you!

I want to see more of the work and progress! That’s the fun part
I'm working on that.... more is on the way, with better filming and time-lapse work.
The end result looked great. Who cares if it looks like a calamity while filming. That’s the best part because, everyone likes to see a comedy.
Keep it up
Ironically I was stuck in the traffic jamb on Wickam Rd and Sarno the day you you moved this project. This is very interesting! I've used fiberglass cloth for many years (mostly automotive) and never knew much of what you have explained. Thank you for sharing this information. I will continue to follow. Can't wait to hear more about resins.
Sorry bout getting you stuck in the traffic. Glad you like the videos.
Bryan the one take wonder. Impressive how you hold a lucid thought for more than a one sentence take.
Very well explained, I’ve only really used polyester and vinylester, with roven and CSM fibreglass.

I know what you mean regarding the intense heat during the day and trying to work with glass and resins. On the other hand, I'm a little envious as winter is rapidly setting in here in Downeast Maine. It won't be long before we're freezing our butts off and shoveling snow - resins don't like such conditions and that type of work comes to a screeching halt for the next 6 to 8 months (if working outside)!

Well, that was a good lesson. Fiberglassing is really hard, but the more you do it the better you get....nerve racking because the resin hasn’t got a lot of time, you better go fast, that’s hard! Thank you, looking forward to your next episode. Thank you!
Thanks. When it's hot like Florida, that resin kicks fast. One of the reason I don't have good video doing the lamination, but I'm getting it figured out.
Keep going, Bryan. Your enthusiasm and energy makes me think more about my own dream project boat.
Go for it!
Love your videos man. You make me want to build a boat and sail the world.
I found that a good description . Not much to question. I have 15+ years in hands on commercial fiberglass work and continue to be involved in the tooling side mainly. It did not really come up but you did not mention that CSM ( chopped strand mat) is measured in OZ per square ft. Woven/ knit by the squ yd. You did not seem to consider that as a good repair material , which it is. Especially with the weird shapes you have to work with that CSM can conform to so much better , but I've been doing it so long I can laminate just about anything! Cheers Warren

You don't have to be an engineer, just a passionate about what you're doing and I see this passion in you. Cheers, Richard
Thanks Richard.
Loved the explanation. Thanks so much for showing us your progress. I hope you explain your ultimate workflow and how it came about to work best. Great job!
Great suggestion! I'm slowly improving as you'll see in the next episodes I release.
another great vid! you are a great teacher and very inspiring! looking forward to the next one.😊

Good straightforward info. Keep it up.
Amazing, you must go crazy when you don’t have a project. Can you come here when you’re finished? I have a big lake just a few blocks away. 😂😂👍👍✌️✌️

Hey Bryan, greetings from SV Serenity, Antares 4434. Would like to make a public comment about how amazing your videos are. Super instructive, even though I haven't had a need for major repairs on my boat (knock core, right!?). It helps prepare for all eventualities. You are so very much appreciated. THANK. YOU! Mark.
Your welcome. I just joined the Antares group and it's amazing how welcoming they are despite the condition of my boat. Antares is a great boat and I'm looking forward to sailing mine someday.
Great explanatory video. Thank You!!
The "experts" usually don't want to give away their expertise as its $ involved. The self taught independent does not have that conflict of interests. Thank you for your honesty . Want to congratulate you as you picked the right cat brand to fix IMHO..
Thanks. The more I "tear into" the Antares the more I like the way it is built. I don't want to insult anybody's boat, but there is a big difference in between a boat built for charter and this boat. Nothing wrong with a boat designed for charter if that's what you are looking for.
@@BryanSailing as far as i ve seen Antares is probably one of the strongest cats around..you picked up a right hull to invest ..best luck. T care.
@@BryanSailing by way, check all bulkheads joints exterior and interior for stress cracks..if you don't find much , she should be fine. Mast step compression etc. Bests
Thanks for the book recommendation.
Nice job. Keep it going. 👍👍👍👍
Another great informative video.
Well done.
Thanks for watching
You're doing great, man! There are tons of utube videos with slow mo of process/etc, but not so much of knowledge applied to the particular case: e.g which fiberglass to use and why, and which resin and why. I'm really looking forward to your series! Thanks for sharing, really appreciate it!:)
Love your passion! I ordered the book from your link. Thanks :)
Awesome! Thank you! I really love that book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
By the time your cat is done, this channel will be huge!
That would be totally cool if that happened. Thanks for the support.
This whole video makes my skin itch
Great info, thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. Feels good to see that it's possible to get seemingly difficult glass work done without being a professional. I'll never get used to these crazy units of measure though; ounces/square yard? Oh come on america :D
Glad you like the video. I really wish America would switch to the metric system, it's so much better.
Great video Bryan, very interesting to finally learn about the different types of glass. 🤓
Thanks! 😃
KEEP IT UP BRYAN!!!!!!
Will do.
excellent explanations
Really looking forward to the next video - way to go with the "cliff hanger"!! Resins; what a minefield subject to cover :-)
Resin will be fun. I may have to split it up as there is a lot to talk about.
thanks for the explination on your models really enjoyed your work
Glad you like them! I have some cool models I want to use when we talk about resin too.
Great episode. Keep it up. Looking forward to the next
Thanks, More to come!
Very helpful. Thanks.
love these videos
