    Highly enjoyable. I find myself looking forward more and more to each new episode. Pretty much how I approach my boat renovations and modifications. All the best from South Australia.

    I would have liked to see the inside plywood coated with epoxy before applying the outer skin. If you don't think water will get in 'it will', that's what in Oz we call Murphy's Law.

      In the UK we call it sods law.

      These will be well encapsulated with fiberglass. If water gets into the middle I have much bigger problems. Do understand your thinking though, you aren't wrong.

    You make what is a daunting task to me seem simple in your straight forward approach and solutions. I can see where those coaming are going to be strong and lasting. I never would have thought of the approach you took to accomplishing them. Fascinating!

    Some of us will recognize the masking tape as band-aid hack. Be careful so you don't have to go to the halloween store to get a new finger to glass on. Besides that I"m curious why you used a hollow core type design for the combings instead of say three layers of plywood. Seems like just extra work.

    • @rohdesoda1152
      @rohdesoda1152  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Always careful. Only had it taped for a day when the blood blisters popped. All healed now.
      I did that to save some ply and epoxy, and I dont think it was much extra work. I was able to use up a lot of scrap ply to make those strips. The budget is tight, so I have to find areas to work with that.

    Finish it before you launch it! It will be a constant pain in the arse otherwise.

    • @rohdesoda1152
      @rohdesoda1152  ปีที่แล้ว

      It will never be "finished". This yard is full of boats that tried that and simply never launched. You can always haul a boat out again...

  • @bendaves77
    @bendaves77 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Over 7k subscribers!!! You're a pretty good craftsman.. are you going to make the well or floor of the cockpit larger?? Also I'm curious to see how you blend the back with the sides.. your ol boat is really coming along nicely and I think you're going to be happier with your purchase than spending 37k on a new empty hull.. you put some money and alot of work into this sailboat and you can enjoy it and perhaps sell it to someone else who doesn't have the craftsman skills that you do and you can find you either another fixer upper or buy yourself that brand new hull.. I'm just getting into sailing, was brought up around some ridiculously fast powerboats. I'm interested in some of these quality built ferrocement sailboats.. hopefully in a year or so I will be able to find me a decent used sailboat.. I'm really into the old style classic ship or wood interior.. much like the Formosa sailboats

    • @rohdesoda1152
      @rohdesoda1152  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! The cockpit well will get a little larger in every direction. At the moment, I plan on leaving the aft end open. I can always add something later, but I think I prefer leaving as much deck space clean as I can. Glad youre enjoying the videos!

  • @bdphourde
    @bdphourde ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure from where the boat was steered before. Was he just standing on the deck holding on to the tiller? There doesn't appear to have been a c/p leg well. Since the c/p coaming is only supported at one end, is it really sturdy enough to be supporting someone pushing against it while heeled over. (Maybe a junk rig won't heel?)

      @rohdesoda1152 That tune sounds very similar to traditional Irish music too, possibly a fiddle and from ancestral emigration. Keep up the great videos Rohde, I just gave you a shout out in my latest episode too referring to you as the epoxy master 😁

    • @rohdesoda1152
      @rohdesoda1152  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I really love those tunes. Thank you so much man, that’s very kind of you. I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, but I checked out that video… one note… Always sand cured epoxy before painting or applying more epoxy. As epoxy cures a waxy substance rises to the surface, amine blush. You want to sand or thoroughly wash that off to get a good bond going forward. I may have missed something in your video, but I think you may have been dealing with some of that when you had the chalkiness from the humidity.
      You have a ton of videos! Unfortunately I dont have the time to really get caught up on your project but really enjoyed that video. Looks like a cool boat. Subscribed and will keep an eye out! Also what a beautiful spot to work!
      Cheers
