Laborious (hard work but satisfying)

Howdy!

Looks amazing Don! Must have been hard graft to get it looking that good, she’s certainly a well build yacht! Hope your family are all doing well

@CadohaAdventures *_ How's Carly, Baby & Hank doing ... we need a clip of them soon _*

Crikey, you make it look quick, but that is a LOT of work. Well done!!

Interesting video thank for sharing all the best and keep the videos rolling 👍

CZcams should limit how much time a CZcamsr is allowed to point the camera at their own face. I did not see any of the restoration process. But I sure saw this guy's face a ton. Wow. Me me me me me! "Do not recommend channel". This is not a pod cast, it is a fix it video, we didn't see any fix-it stuff. If you like boat projects I recommend 'My First Boat". I do not know that guy, this is just raw appreciation for a true content provider. He shows what he's fixing, not his face. He fixes a thing and has voice-over the video explaining it. He does not point the camera at his face and describe what he will do, we actually get to see him do it.

Hi we (actually a good friend who has the gift of ‘focus’ sorted our teak deck with a mild sanding and cutting the caulking back to level. It is similar to yours with deep teak and was definitely worth the minor loss of the surface layer of teak! Looking good on your deck too!! Great positive film as ever!! Thanks

I require fuel injector pipes from the pump to the injectors Do you know who makes these any more. Thanks in advance

Shouldn't the episode be corking Cadoha, just joking just loving your episodes

Well, I for one am very impressed with Willet Marine, their knowledge and their attention to detail! Not sure I could cope with the prospect of having to remove and then replacing the caulking yet it is undoubtedly the right thing to do! Plus all the sanding and, I suspect, application of some sort of coating - oil, wax, varnish, synthetic goop etc As always: admirable video! Health and happiness to the Admiral and her cabin boy

😎

I’m guessing that was a few weeks work shown in 8 mins - but the results are spectacular. Good job mate.

Great film as usual. Hope you are all well and progressing as you should. Strange how life is, just yesterday I watched a teak deck video as I’m considering redoing the calking. And there you are with your video. Over the years did you know your vocabulary is changing and you start to sound expert - very cool.

Hi, there is a special tool that rake out the caulking just looks like a 90° flat screwdriver. Anyway you’ll work it out. Just me telling you what to do. Most people don’t listen anyway LOL if you don’t get it all out you can cause issues

Great job Dom, but it just reinforces my desire to never have a teak deck

Hi , it is making a lot of difference , SPIFFEY as others might say , regards to your family and hope every one is making head way .

👍🦘

Crackin job! Felt your pain... I've spent many of hours in what I call, the troll hole! Be worth it in the end when you're back in the wet stuff

OPEN HATCH !!!!! I recommend you make temp plugs/covers for all open hatches. I cant tell you how many people I have seen fall or nearly fall down a hatch. ( Myself included)

Nice job. I built Yachts for 15+ years. i was the TDS (Teak deck system) crew lead for a few of the years and you can buy or make a hot-knife with a squared tip and easily cut the rubber out. another more manual but simple way is to start by cutting the edges free all the way down to the sole, and sometimes at a 45 degree from both sides, and then with a 1/4 inch chisel scrape the rubber off the sole. using a 3/16 inch sanding block, sand the teak edges and the sole down to fresh clean dry substrate. Vacuum, and lastly Acetone or MEK wipe. One thing is you never do a color restore sand job until you have the joints refilled. which leads me to the caulking of the deck, after the solvent wipe, mask each and every joint ensuring all edges are tight and sealed. Use a pneumatic or power caulk gun and do a section that you can tool smooth before it skins over. I use a plastic spreader with a 5/16 or so half circle gouge removed. (the grove should just barely be wider than the joints). when the joint is filled, taking care not to cause more work by spreading it all over the teak, strike the joints with the tool by keeping the groove at a slight angle pulling the tool through the TDS. when and only when it is dry all the way to the sole you can then unmask and sand down to the fresh teak. I use a floor sander with 80 grit, then 120. I hand sand with a DA down to 220grit. now you have a beautiful new Teak deck! Idc if this gets read or not. It was a nice trip down memory lane. if someone gained anything from it even better! and if you read it all. CHEERS!

Is that a Warrior 38? did you not have wet core decks like Mads from Sailife? i'm just wondering with the leaky teaky if the core is actually ok or not?! It looks good sanded though👌

Don't you just love boat yoga? 🙃 😂❤ The deck is looking spiffy! Awesome job! ⛵️👏

She's already looking amazing Dom, can't wait for part 2. By the by, I don't think anyone triggered by a claustrophobic lazarette should be watching boaty CZcams. Hope the family are thriving :)

Can't beat a fresh teak deck. Hello from Bitterne Park.

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

I’d love a tour of that Oyster

Huge amount of work. Huge amount of patience. 🎉

Beautiful!

ahoy! ✊🏻

Can't wait to see the end product. I'll bet it's going to look fabulous.

HELLO Dominic

Felt your pain in that locker - good to make sure it can’t fall down - a guy got locked in his by the catches when the wind blew it. Luckily he was on the hard at Ridge and someone heard him shouting! Imagine being stuck in that space you were in!

Great to see you guys posting again! All the best for you and the family! Looking forward to seeing you guys back on the water catching some lobsters again!

Dom I hope you are getting some sleep, how is Carly and the little one, is Hank happy to have a little brother....good to have you back, hopefully back on the sea soon too

Bloody hell lad! The England game is on

I used to live on a Scottish island and ive had boats from about 10 years old and now almost 60 so about 50 years, boating can be like standing in the shower with your cloths on tearing up £20 notes haha.

would you recommend living on the atlantic or pacific side of US? ....I'm having a Captain Ron moment.

Thank you for sharing💜 that was very brave of ya. Looking forward watching ya alil man grow into a sailor

An expensive first-class marina and a live aboard sailboat make a good combination.

You never really said what happened to the baby and why it had to be rushed. Which is fine, as this is your life and your decision whether to say publicly or not. Just saying. Not that it really matters as I am just some random person that happened to have stumbled across your video and am not even a subscriber. Anyway, it was a very heart felt video and I can not even imagine being in your place. Other than the lack of what precisely happened, it was a very enjoyable and emotional video and you told it very well. I could almost envision the story. The important things are it is your life to live, it appears things are going well and I wish you all the best in the future.

Wishing all three of you the very best fortune in the months ahead, I can only begin to imagine the worries and concerns you have over your little man (no matter how positively you are tackling this). On the diesel heater - good catch. Always a good idea to clean and service the heater in the summer months.😉 The external sooty deposits should be viewed with concern as that is synonymous with carbon monoxide - have you got a functioning detector nearby? Best wishes.😀👍⛵️

Well done Dom, it's remarkable what a little regular Preventative Maintenance will do...

I don't need a lot of convincing, since the idea of living on a sailboat sounds idiotic to me.

Mate you won’t remember this but we bumped into you on Mylor beach when you were dog walking… I think I introduced you to my now 10 year old twins… so, they were born a couple of months early with a low birth weight but are now strapping tall and well… parenthood is hardwork and stressful… I sometimes wonder if I have PTSD from their early birth but I’m so proud to be called Daddy. They grow up so quick so do enjoy your time together!

Hi guys what is that dive system you had?

Look at you foraging 🎉

I absolutely love how comfortable your dog is on a boat.
