Hey Daniel we just bought some UV sports netting off eBay, cheap as chips going on 2 years old now still going strong. Bought a roll of black vb cord to tie it all up.
Michael The Boat Handy Man! A guy on Salt and Tar Channel is using that goo tape for his entire boat he built from Keel up. Good work on the bow repair, that is pretty crazy that people would do that with boats, I can understand cars but those don't sink!! You guys are doing great work, hang in there and always remember the reason they are call boats. B.ring O.ut A.nother T.housand. Why I don't own a boat, it not getting it, its keeping it before my wife gets up set. Pregnancy push!!! OMG I just died. Dont forget to breath Michael, breathing is key!!!!
Haha I try my best, will give anything a go, it’s the only way we’ve been able to afford the upkeep and nobody else will put as much care into it as the owner. Will have to check out that salt and tar channel, sounds interesting! Pretty disappointing about the hit and run, was a good lesson on repairing and was glad it was a easy fix! Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys, you have been busy little beavers 🤣 Great job on the Dyneema lines, and I love watching people struggle with removing old hatches sealed with exotic snot, you did it with style 👍 I wont comment on the low dog act of doing a hit n run on ur boat. Hope you are all well , Cheers
Thanks James! We set our policy up to have a lower premium but a super high excess. If we’re gonna claim insurance it’s gonna have to be some major damage or total loss. With the rego we could have probably put in a claim and they might have tried to get his insurance to pay up but to be honest it just wasn’t worth the stress!
I know Natalie from s/v Blownaway she actually built for BA foul weather covers for the port lights and hatches, apparently they work perfectly, no issues with leaks and simple to remove and refit.. she used sunbella. But i think you could use clear just as easy.. I believe hers attach with velcro I’m not 100% sure, but you could easily ask her in the group, she’s one of the experts..
Funny I fitted the same eBay remote and it works great. I opened up the controller and main unit and gave it a conformal coating on both sides. Make it last forever.
Hi Guys, Love your work. Just a quick note about those eBay remotes you installed. I have the same and was anchored up for the night when another cruiser can by and was anchoring nearby. Then my anchor started feeding out. Turns out they had the same frequency on there remote as mine. Maybe installing a cut off switch could solve this incident in future. Just incase you come across the same fait. Keep up the great work, stay safe, Cheers
I wouldn't be without it though. works really well. just need to remember to turn power supply off. Even if you happen to be cruising past someone with the same remote it could affect your remote. Cheers
@@davenoonan4672 so handy to have, we don’t have a deck wash so use a broom to scrub the mud off the chain sometimes, so much easier with the remote around our neck! We already turn it of straight after but definitely something to make sure of!
I would open up those remotes and spray it with a water resistant coating. Also don't use the crap batteries that come with it they will leak and corrode everything. Ask me how I know. You also might want to put one of those keychain floats on them. Love the videos!
Cheers for the heads up! I gave it a smear with dielectric grease and sealed the join with some butyl tape, came in a pack of two so have a couple of chances to get it right! 😂
Thanks guys, it's pretty crazy right? Hard to comprehend how someone can just do that and not mention it. Especially when they were literally moored RIGHT next to us. I often wonder if he even remembers doing it...
@@sailingpopao You did get the rego for the other boat? You got off lightly but who knows how much damage he'll do to the next boat if he thinks he got away with it.
@@sailingpopao Sometimes reporting it is not about getting you boat/car fixed as much as preventing pain for the next person, unfortunately people like that don't care about other people's property unless they get in trouble.
Another great video , it’s amazing how dishonest some scum bag people are , I see boats get hit in the marina weekly and people just seem to think bumping into some bodies boat is normal , I hope karma goes that guys way but I highly doubt it , r u still on the Goldie
Cheers Richard! Marinas are scarier than the ocean sometimes, all out incidents and near misses have happened around them! Still here working up to Moreton in the next couple of days!0
@@sailingpopao morning guys , I’m anchored 200 meters south of you , I came in yesterday as my favorite little hidey hole wouldn’t like wind against tide with those big night time tides and this southerly
Hit your babe weak barstards my French does. Not need an apology hit and run incomprehensible! I hit a boat 2ft above the waterline the owner thanked me for fessingup. Ah well not that much damage. By the way got a mate knows a great spot in the Hawkesbury!
I tried one of the crab dishes and one of the fish in batter. Think it gets people to just try different things. Surprised the channel doesn't have a bigger following @@sailingpopao
Great job on painting that window frame. It came out so well, it looks new.
Thanks so much! 😊
Cheers guys!
Thanks Trev!!
Hey guys, where did you get the new tramps? We have a trimaran that could do with new tramps. 👍

@@sailingpopao so good, it's tips like that that keep the dream alive and affordable. Cheers
100%! We got quoted $1500 to replace them, diy was less than $200 from memory. We do everything ourselves, definitely keeps the dream alive!
You can use a decal remover that Goes on a drill
It's like a rubber wheel
You can find them in the autonomy section
Cheers Ron we actually have one sitting in the toolkit too!
to cut through sikaflex / silicon ect to use piano wire and just tie both ends to 2 pieces of broom handle ..... works well
Ahh yes I’ve heard people mention this. Might have to buy some while we’re on land! I’m sure we’d use it for future boat jobs 😂
Nice work guys,ticking off the jobs.
Cheers Michael, the list is getting smaller!
Good job guys. The boat's going to fantastic after all your efforts. Cheers!
Thanks guys it has been a rewarding journey hopefully you can come see it in the flesh along the way!
Well well well. I can add hatches and windows to the work list😂
Hahaha let’s just go full refurb 😂
@@sailingpopao well. Since your offering! Don’t worry. My new fuel tanks getting installed Sunday. One less job for you both!
I’m sure we can drain and clean them, something!

Thanks for watching!
Cheap brake cleaner from Repco seens to knock the crap outta Silicone. But ive never tried it on sunburned silicone..
Yeah nice! Got heaps of that left over at home too, does a great job on the brakes!
Remote is cool! Did you notice anybody in the marina with the anchor going up and down at the same time.......that would have been cool
Bahahahaha now that is something to worry about!
great job Guys, looking forward to seeing a new boat when you are done
Cheers Mikey stay tuned!
I bought the same remotes, been working great for over a year now
Good to hear! Hope you two are going well!

Thanks John! Definitely kept ourselves busy during lockdown, doing well stoked to be cruising again take care!
Always like your boat chores. How does boat insurance work (i.e. hit and run claim). Cheers.

@@sailingpopao Thanks, I kinda thought that might be the situation.
No worries cheers for watching!

I wish I was there to handle the boat that got y'all.. y'all two stay safe.. LOVE from NASHVILLE'TN
Haha thanks Keith!
Funny I fitted the same eBay remote and it works great. I opened up the controller and main unit and gave it a conformal coating on both sides. Make it last forever.
Haha they are great! I gave the circuit board a coating of dielectric grease, got two in the pack and if that fails $20 won’t break the bank 😂

Ohh wow that is a worry! Probably should stop promoting them 🤣🤣🤣 luckily we turn our windlass off once we’ve set it. Cheers for the heads up!

Jibbon Beach!
Good spotting!
Hit and run, surely has to be the Gold Coast?
😂 Sydney this time!
@@sailingpopao You did get the rego for the other boat? You got off lightly but who knows how much damage he'll do to the next boat if he thinks he got away with it.
Yeah did get it, figured it it wasn’t worth the trouble as his boat definitely came off second best.

Nice mate are you hanging around for a bit? Come say hello a bit later, Jess and our mate are still sleeping 😂
@@sailingpopao no real plans mate just about to cook breaky and go from there
Nice, will be good to finally meet you!
Why people, don't own up, should have left a note, and phone #.
Yeah definitely poor form!
Hit your babe weak barstards my French does. Not need an apology hit and run incomprehensible! I hit a boat 2ft above the waterline the owner thanked me for fessingup. Ah well not that much damage. By the way got a mate knows a great spot in the Hawkesbury!
For crabs Marty Qld
Thanks Marty we actually ate some good crabs on the Hawkesbury the other day!
How SH$T is removing silicon!!
😂😂😂 not fantastic…
Theres an awful lot of adverts on your channel more than others
Appreciate the feedback! We actually got rid of the pre-roll ad’s on this one. Will look into it, thanks for sitting through them!
Thanks for the reply.. Really like the cooking sections, I have tried a couple of the dishes my self @@sailingpopao
Great to hear it! How did you like them? What did you cook?
I tried one of the crab dishes and one of the fish in batter. Think it gets people to just try different things. Surprised the channel doesn't have a bigger following
@@sailingpopao
Very nice, thanks for trying them out! Slow and steady, there is a lot of content out there we suppose!
