i really hope this sparks an interest in the young man and wants to help you with the boat and learn , he is the only hope to keeping these boats alive , i worry about this all the time
A few years ago I used similar process to invert a 22ft wooden boat in a suburban driveway and was keen to watch your preparations and the rollover. With the precautions you put in place this was a very safe (bold but safe) method. Congratulations.
Hi, haven’t seen that video for awhile, so I decided to watch this one again watching you turn jabiru over just love it if you went so far away I would come down and give me a hand. Unfortunately I might be in Queensland just love this old boat
I have to say sitting at the screen was stressful enough, I can't imagine how you felt Phil But its done, she's over and ready for the next part of the journey back to the water - Merry Christmas
Great job Phil and all the gang, what a monumental moment mate, well done. Take a break and have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year. Seeya Rob.......Seeya in 2024
Hi guys, congratulations I have never ever seen anything like that in my life that is absolutely wonderful very encouraging the technology that you guys use. Keep up the good work. Love your Videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
Nicely done, Phil. This is certainly gonna make fiberglassing the hull a lot easier. As a caveat, I'm fundamentally against such practices. A wooden hull should be all wood, but I totally understand why people do it. Way easier to maintain.
Ah, great to see her turn over safely and well Phil! :) - I didn't actually have any concerns really, but good to see it went well! I also realised while i watched how envious i am of your covered workspace - it's a great set-up you have! Anyway, Thanks for sharing, Thanks for the multi camera filming, (great job) and i look forward to following along with Jabiru into 2024. I decided to do a 'quick caulk' and float Susanna down the river by the way. Hopefully in January. Have a great Christmas and the very best for the New year mate. Cheers!
Good to hear from you again. I thought your idea of gaffer tape over the seams was a good idea. Maybe you should do that as wqell as the quick caulk. Can I make a comment on your videos. They look and sound great, but you dont introduce yourself. I found your name once but have fiorgotten it again. Any way great work. Keep it up. Phil
(I’m an old guy too Phil, so we both know this is going to probably be your final big physical work project). I hope you both enjoy many years of the fruits of this labour before you “sail off into the sunset”.. God bless.
Slow and steady wins the race said the tortoise to the hare. well I could flip you on your back and run on without a care, you'll be nothing more than a vultures snack tortoise proclaimed that puffed up hare That's no vulture ventured stout of heart it's an Eagle up on high and down he comes out of the sun to claw you in the eye. Off shot hare his dignity bared forgetting bout the race and off trotted tortoise across the line the winner and no disgrace. Easop's Artichoke 23/12/23
Will the weight of the fiberglass change the water line of the boat, its likely something you have already allowed for. Great job so far, i prefer using gand tools when im doing work for myself, it gives the feeling of truley making something by hand. Some things i will use power tools for but it feels like cheating to me and increases the gap from a real hand made item.
It will be weighed and CofG found when it's finished and fully up to weight. Then I can work out what the trim will be and the underwater volume. A bit tricky and a good thing to get right.
I had a fiberglass boat inverted on a trailer quite low to the ground and it really did not make any difference. I still needed a stool to reach the centre and sat on the keel to get to even harder areas. I would suggest a temp platform to work from that you can move about and adjust the height. There will be a lot of stretched positions and long reaches that are uncomfortable and physically difficult to hold required. it will be easier to just raise it slightly and block it enough to remove the wheels. Keep in mind it is now very top heavy and will try to roll back over if given the chance. This will make lowering, raising and uprighting it very ticklish I just about had an uncontrolled uprighting by not realizing this
That is why it was done in small controlled increments. I had the same fear of an uncontolled roll. There were times when there was a lot of pressure on either one of the two control lines.
No caulking. Just glued splines on all seams and splits. It came down to the choice of a total rebuild or do what I'm doing. Cost of timber and available quality which has made me keep as much as possible in original material. Glassing the hull is really the only option for a dry boat.
@@revivingjabiru7588 Well I've lived next door to a few people Phil but unfortunately not yourself. I would be over giving you a hand if that was the case.

Will you do a traditional caulk or something to compliment the fibreglass sheathing?
No caulking. Just glued splines on all seams and splits. It came down to the choice of a total rebuild or do what I'm doing. Cost of timber and available quality which has made me keep as much as possible in original material. Glassing the hull is really the only option for a dry boat.
We’ll that was nerve wracking!
Thank you Stephen. Are you the Stephen who lived next door?
