This is a huge milestone!!! Well done on everything you’ve done so far (and everyone else who helps you both) I’m blown away by the progress every time. Absolutely love watching you guys working on Sarinda. Always the highlight of my week. 😊😊😊
You guys are inspirational. Your fg work looks great!
The smiles on both your faces once the 1st section of boards says it’s all been worth it
You have not been “trying” - you’ve been DOING IT! 😀 You’re a quite a couple! Congrats and thank you.
You must be so happy that the first parts of the deck have been fitted. Many thanks for taking us on this journey to restore Sarinda back to glory!!!
What a moment. The deck is starting to happen. At some point, when you're not so tired, it will sink in and I doubt the smile will disappear all day.
That orbital sander dance -- beautiful !!
I’ve watched since the very first episode, to see you get to this point I must say I felt a bit emotional! God knows how I’ll feel when we see her finally move!! You guys are epic! Well done Gemma and Simon
That was me in white T-shirt watching from the shore today, love ur progress on that lovely old boat, great work👍👍👏👏👌 so good to see her coming back together, well in both of you👍
I'm overjoyed to see your progress. You both work so hard. It's amazing what you've accomplished so far. Thank you for taking us along.
Sarinda's locker takes a good decking. It's the best I got this week, I'm afraid.
Engineers work to the nearest thousand of an inch, joiners work to the nearest 16th of an inch but boat builders work to the best looking solution. But the next boat will be better!
You two are OUTSTANDING, on your deck. Well done. So exciting!!
Congratulations ❤ she’s starting to look like a proper princess now ❤ well done it looks great…
Deck deck deck 🎶Deck deck deck 🎶 deck on boogie , deck on boogie 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶.
Nice job guys, cheers 😉
love the varnished beams with the white roof, a few items in brass eventually, your will never wont to leave her. you made me laugh with the broom joke, I'm waiting for Simeon to say, one day ,get to the winch wench, lol
You two would be right at home at Harland & Wolff. Love the shots of Sarinda that you posted an the end of the video. She has such lovely lines, and will soon return to her former glory!
Use can of spray paint to spray up stanchion holes to leave pattern under deck
Yay...its a deck! I just absolutely adore you guys. Been watching since you first got your beautiful boat...or ship, as she rightfully is. Can't wait (well, LOL, I have to wait, obviously) to see her done.
I am so excited for Sarinda! This is so wonderful! Pat yourselves on the back!❤❤❤
What a pair of grafters, huge congrats 👏🎉 on achieving this milestone 😊
Many thanks
CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS CONGRATULATIONS. YOU DESERVE A GOOD REWARD. ALL I SEND YOU IS CONGRATULATIONS. PETER T Mid Wales. UK.
You know i've not been subbed for very long, only a few episodes,but i grinned from ear to ear when you got that first piece of deck on, that must have been such a good feeling for the both of you 😀 i think what you're doing is very admirable,you're restoring a little piece of history and you're making it a labour of love too,think i'll be here for a while 🙂
Congrats on getting some of the deck laid. That's quite the achievement. I love the way you guys just roll with the punches and do what you can do.
I would try to make a hole as big possible and then square up the hole. Good job guys real hard work just by you two.😊
I have been watching you guys for a while now. It gave me great joy to see you get that deck on. Looking fantastic guys!
I remember watching in horror when you first started in the bow locker area. Handfuls of rotten wood were being pulled out and me thinking, "surely this boat has past its restoration date".
Having said that, I thought much the same when watching Leo struggling on his own, manhandling half a ton of boat keel! How wrong I was, I salute you all for sharing your adventures with us!
Congrats, big step!
This is how Hang Gliding got it's start ! Wind + plywood = Up, Up, And Away !!!!
Deck looks great! Fiberglass is fine also. Practice makes perfect with glass work. Looking good keep up the good work. Someday she will look similar to those pic's you posted at the end. Beautiful!
Brilliant the deck has started!!! Just wondering when the sun roof is being delivered.🤣🤣🤣
I think it looks amazing, I was as happy as you guys when the deck boards went down for the first time😅, have to say yous are firing throw this build, and doing a sterling job, love the videos❤️👍😂
It must be deck your boat time 😎
Deck yer boat time!!!
It'll look great when done. You'll be faring the 'glass work, sanding that smooth and then putting a layer of gelcoat on it, probably, so it'll look great when done. Keep up the great work, guys!!
Your planning and hard work are paying great dividends. It's looking 👌 Keep up the good work.
Wow, you made that fibreglassing look so much easier than it is! I have a viseral hatred of fibreglass from struggling with my boats roof!
Great work on the deck, very cool to see you both standing on the first part of the deck :-) the varnished beams on white look excellent
Guys, take a look at Leo’s episode “Fitting the solid teak cap rail”. It shows how he uses a template to accurately cut the tenons for the rail. Wondered whether you could use a similar technique to locate the stanchion positions. Good luck and we’ll done. I never miss an episode.
Great job Simon and Gemma, that's a great accomplishment getting the deck glassed. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Lmao , the crashed with the broom 😂. You definitely live a dangerous life Simon ! Congratulations on the new deck , soon sipping on tea on deck chairs 😊
That razor blade is awesome that turns into a scraper that is a pretty nifty little tool
I love watching you guys work together. It does however crack me up to hear you Brit’s talk about a scorcher at 26C. Here in Southern California people wear long Pants and sweaters in that weather.
That's an awesome deck great job
Absolutely fabulous what you have achieved never missed an episode it’s all looking so worth the effort and times you must have felt like walking away keep up the good work 🙌
BRAVO ZULU my Lady and Gentleman.
Just watching you working with fiberglass is the closest I ever want to be to doing it myself ever again. It's horrible to work with and I admire your fortitude!
A huge achievement, well done guys, another milestone. With the trimming router cutter it maybe an idea to start off with a larger diameter cutter as the smaller ones can snap the shaft if overwhelmed then step down of a small in to finally trim the hole. I love how you guy problem solve, congratulations
Sarinda gets glassed is not as good as last week when she was topless. 🤣🤣I bet it feels odd walking around on deck and not having that sinking feeling.
Great update 2x👍
Great to see more deck/cover going in 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Australian here..26C HAA HAA. Thats a nice day here, true. 40C, now thats a scorcher.
The only fiber glassing I did on Lazy Days refit was to make a two drip trays to fit under the twin engines to keep the bilges clean, these worked great.
I would suggest you fit a drip strip under the ply sheets in the excess 100mm. to prevent rain water wicking it's way under the sheet, until you properly seal them to the outside hull timbers.
The white underside looks great against the varnished beams, well done.
Can't you use the block you use to drill up through the deck ply, turned the opposite way with a long drill steel through the already drilled hole to get the angle.
Thanks for posting.
Great trick wit The Sander.
Great work! Must be nice to have part of your deck ready to go!
Well it is materializing to be a boat sea worthy
Looking nice. I have done a bit of fiber glassing. Never worked with Peal ply. I have used binder clips and/or small spring clamps attached to the fiber glass to weigh it down from time to time. I would think it would also work with the peal ply to prevent the wind from catching it.
I wonder for the stanchions if you could make a thin metal (soda can or flashing material) box the size of the opening. Then you could run the router along side, to have a smooth surface.
Excellent work! I enjoy all the updates. Wish I was near by to give a hand.
That’s a huge work and it needs good method and organisation. The result looks very nice and we know you will success
Fantastic episode again.Every week is another milestone and marina is really showing major progress all down too you two wonderful people and you put a massive smile on my face because you are so funny ❤
All your hard work is paying off nicely. Another step closer. Well done, you two x
What you could try is supergluing finish nails (pointy side up) into each corner of the stanchions hole and put the plywood down. It will mark the corners underneath the plywood. You just have to make sure the nails stickup the same amount. Then you could take the nails out with some pliers.
the first time i mixed 500ml fiberglass resin, it burnt the crap out of the container and set in about a minute, certainly is an art . frank from down under
Bloody marvellous guys. The deck is on it's way!!! Onya. All the best from Perth Western Australia.
What you should do with a porous surface like ply is to pre-treat it with resin using a 10% acetone mix. This will sink into the ply and give you a good basis to apply the fibreglass.
Well done Baldi and Gem great work and fantastic video, I have a couple of T shirts like that Simon. An a couple of Oldi ones , bet you’re both chuffed the first stage of the decks complete, great team , G
Another milestone. Visible progress is always encouraging. Your enthusiasm is more than impressive.
Good on you and nicely done. To give yourselves more pot life to the epoxy keep the ingredients refrigerated till you mix them
For the holes for the bulwarks, cut some kingspan insulation and feed it through the existing holes the cut the end of it at the same angle as the deck when it comes through (before you fit ply).
Cut and fit the ply then dip the end of the cut kingspan and dip it in wet paint, feed it through the holes and it’ll mark the under side of the ply exactly when you need to cut the holes out. Bit of a slow process but it’ll definitely work.
It’s been such a pleasure watching your achievements, I dip in and out catching up and it’s incredible what you’ve done it’s really taking shape, you should be so proud now but it’s there for everyone to see the hard work you’ve done and the superb results so far, I’m very envious of you for the time you spend together building your dreams not many people get to experience that with their life partner, I know you have a long way to go but when you’ve completed her it will be one of the most fulfilling moments ever, wishing you every success take care of yourselves.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw Looking good guys. Simon love the Baldi t-ee shirt.
For the stanchion holes, could you use a mortising chisel/drill? It should allow you to follow the profile of the side and get square corners.
Fiberglassing isn’t easy , but you have done a great job 👏 .
You need to patent orbital sander air hockey. Make a fortune off that!
What!!!!!!! 26c is perfect work weather
It's looking real good so far ! It's all a learning a learning process ! Love you both for your hard work
Great to see the deck going on. It's looking brill you two.👍
I like seeing that you’re using Ryobi. I have a leaf blower and chainsaw from Ryobi and they are amazing.
Wonderful progress. I am retired now, but used to sell tools and fasteners on the gulf coast of Florida, primarily for the construction industry. We sold a lot of SS, so had a lot of boat business also. I studied fastening industry tech publications a lot. So this is second hand. Check with your local experts. #1 I hope you are already using 316 grade SS screws, not 302 or 304. I found that most boat owners had no clue why you didn't want the lower grades around salt water. The main thing I want to mention is that every tech publication I've read recommended cutting a larger hole than what you need for items like your Stantions, fill that hole with epoxy, than drill the exact hole in the center. You will have much less water damage that way.
On your jig saw needs. I usually recommended my customers to pick a battery and stay in that family. You already have 2 battery brands. In this case, I would recommend a third. Go with a Bosch jig saw. They did invent the things.
Keep up the good work. I'm really enjoying the build.
Great episode guys. Loving the build.🤗
I’m so happy to see you both getting to this stage. I’ve watched your channel since the first episode and have waited for this day. Best wishes from Australia.
Great! Deck starts!
@9:30…. Measure “The Stem of Gem”😂😂
Its looking good well done i love watching you both bring the ship back to glory 😊
Use bulldog clips on the fibreglass to add some weight to the edge. If you need more weight add fishing weights to the clamp arms.
WOW just amazing well done guys .......... Well done
For a couple seconds there I thought Simon was going to go for a good tumble, right off the bow of the boat. He wouldn't of be laughing if he did that's for sure ...It's looking bloody well great.
Excellent , Fiberglass your deck time. Can I suggest the De Walt jigsaw as you already have the battery's and they are a great piece of kit. We had one in our Tool store before I retired and it was the most borrowed tool at the weekends. Some guys would 'Forget' to bring it back on Monday. Easy blade change and a lever underneath to adjust the base plate angle. Another thing that might be worth a look is the Trend Corner chisel. Its a right angle chisel for making nice square holes in doors for locks etc.
You guys are crushing it. 🇨🇦
Get a router bit extension for the router then make an angle jig for the router base and that should make it easier to cut the stension holes
RE the stantion holes - I'd try cutting them roughly undersize from the holes you're already drilling, then grab a cheap wood saw and your angle grinder. cut a thin section out of the saw , about 12mm wide, something like a foot long with the teeth down one side. remove the teeth from the top 4 inches or so, and make a handle to fit that section. Leave the next 2 inches or so of teeth, that will actually do the cutting. then remove the teeth below that, to form a non cutting guide that will follow the holes "below deck". And saw away! I've often used hacksaw blades and a holder for the same kind of thing.
Simon if it were me I would do 1 of 3 things on those stanchions,
1 would be to use a tin of grey spray paint up the rectangle holes from underneath which would give exact dimensions for hole, then using a drill press with the correct angle using a square mortise bit to give holes in plywood, or 2 would be to find or make a square mortise bit long enough to reach up the holes from underneath, which allowing for available space may not be possible, or 3 line the hole from above with something like small tacks so when you lay the ply down you can see the hole imprint, you would then have to allow a few mm's for the position of the tacks, then using a square mortise bit cut the hole at the correct angle which should be no problem for a drill press with a movable angle base, best wishes Darren
40:08 if u sand the fibreglass lightly then put a coat of resin to seal would work great 👍
Good work it becomes a very nice deck 👌👌
Fan-bloody-tastic
Using a router to cut at the desired angle. Place a strip of wood on the side of the hole that moves/pivots the router bit to the desired angle on the opposite side of the hole from the side with the wood strip.
great choice glassing the deck, boats rot from the inside out. It probably
saved my boat! held for about 50 years, planning on redoing it with epoxy, hopefully that will last longer.....
Happy at work and a great job.
Fantastic achievement, I've also found marine ply splinters so drill from both sides with a pilot hole or cut the line first through the first layer of ply with a stanley knife ( your new knife) then saw the piece.

@14:45 Gemma’s “yeah” ….. right there with ya babe. What a moment. You two are awesome.
G'day Crew,
Cool episode guys , great to see the deck taking shape . Also loved the new knife ,Jem seemed happy with it too.
Sorry about the SCORCHING HOT DAY ,
but here in OZ 24 / 26 is a beautiful day , we call 46 / 50 a scorcher.
One more , Simon's second pronunciation of stanchion was right , as to be staunch or strong .
That's what the Navy call them ,
but both terms do get used .
However , I was wrong once before ,so a dictionary or thesaurus might be standard practice in this instance .
Look forward to the next vid.
Respect....!
This is a great step very visible and solid. Always a pleasure to sea you working so well together in perfect harmony.
I wach your work since the beginning. Merci for your nices videos👍👍👍
fibreglassing is one of those jobs youll get better at it the more you do just a matter of confidence with the roller and getting your mixes right ,used to line tanks we would use four layers of glass and one layer of finishing tissue over the top always used to like seeing it when the last section had been put on and it had dried ready for the next stage
Wow! - a long day!
