Video

Great video showing the trials and tribulations of boat painting, including all the questions and head-scratching that accompanies the process. I'm currently doing the same job and appreciate every detail that you discussed. Great job!

Do not Spok inglish 😮 , por isso fica de ificil ver videos em inglês 😮😮😮

Great video not seen pouncing before great explanation of router diversity.

What is this copper combination that you give the goats?... I am in Uganda and starting with a few goats

Love this video and learnings! I don't intend to have goats, but it was informative. Thank you!

apparently male goats urinate on their beards, so keeping them beardless reduces the stench immensely

Okay Troy. That breakfast wasn't big enough to feed a bird 😮

I always thought the saying was “Waste a lot, Why not !”

Come on, Troy . I thought You were tough. We live in Alaska and I work outside all winter, Oh and I'm 63 . Love Alaska 😊

Guinea pig is sooooo good & nutritious

That was an AWESOME video - thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I am very interested in goats, but it definitely is a huge commitment too. Yours are so adorable! Love the piggies too - I'll have a look to see if there are pig videos too here. So torn between wanting to have all these animals; but also needing to be realistic about what I can do. I love the way you have structured this video to be so informative and well researched, yet you make it look effortless like we're just having a chat about it. Very well done!

I appreciate that your adventure with the paint shop was extremely frustrating( I have the same level of patiene) BUT consider that what you have shared will make mine and many othersproject much better. Great video I have subscribed.Thank you!

Guys, I really love your channel. Ive watched your videos. I also own a 1970s 30ft yacht in Port Hacking which was a recent purchase in the last 12 months after a divorce. It has been a money pit and a lot of fixing. Im new to sailing. But im handy. You guys are keeping it real. I really love your technical know-how about sailing and rigging. I really aspire to follow in your footsteps. You both are so lucky to have each other and to share a passion with each other. Keep up the great work. Loved your lap of OZ.

I hope that you've put some of your innovations to work for you, by finding the right companies to bring to market such benefits! It's a fun experience to watch your videos. Thanks!

Great Episode.

Ya need Acorns !!

We are trying to decide between replacing our canvas Bimini and dodger or building a hard top ourselves. Any thoughts? Would you do this again if given the choice?

Interdependency at its finest. communication styles mastered so effortlessly present and balanced.

Great video. I'm learning so much from the commenters as well as both you and Pascale. Appreciate your patience, precision & knowledge. Also allow me to be one of the 1st to congratulate you 2 (as it is the end of August) for committing your lives to each other. Best wishes & be well.

Deluxe super enamel..... 😊👍the secret is out....

Moving right along and looking great. I didn't paint my centerboard, the wood just looked too pretty even though it would rarely be seen. I used Epifanes clear boat varnish, about 3 coats if I remember correctly, mostly because I had a good supply on hand, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with your choice either. It looks great and as you pointed out it should be pretty durable. It's starting to really look like a boat.

Great guys... best wishes from Blighty. 🥰

Congratulations Troy! Everything is looking great and I suppose the exciting part is starting now. Best. Enjoying the process immensely.

VERY COOL!!!!! Coming together nicely

I use the very same paint on all my small boat builds. George Beuhler amongst others recommends it, and in any case i always seem to have tins of it hanging round after house projects, so why waste it, or spend money on yacht paint? I do tend to prime glassed and epoxied surfaces with Norglass (eg.) 2-part primer, and for boats that live in the water I do use the real deal top coat. The house enamel lasts very well.

Thanks

The level of workmanship is outstanding. The centreboard housing fitted like a glove.

Top work as always Troy

Cheers.

Nice work! On your refit down in Tassie you used water based (emulsion) Alkyd enamel for the interior. How do you feel it compares with the more traditional oil enamel paint your using here? Obviously less oder in a confined space, but any other differences? Hardness? Quality of finish?

Your winter doesn’t seem very cold. That would be super nice for growing.

Painted a few cars with Dulux Super Enamel. We used to call it "jam"

The boat is looking great and so did that beer. Was there any Fuggles or East Kent Golding hops in it? cheers.

Well done as always

You’re a man of infinite patience. Look forward to every post.

Thanks!

Well done Troy. Another great vid. The more I see of that router, the more convinced I am of its usefulness. Great milestone, worthy of a celebration.

I also ended up using the equivalent on a GP14 and a pool slide. It's a whole lot less expensive than the 2 part coatings and easy to work with.

I am a qualified experienced coating chemist I endorse everything you said about the paint. White spirit borne enamel paints are Alkyd Bound and perform very well I have used it on boats my whole 65yrs the disadvantages are less tough and hard wearing but still pretty good less waterproof but still pretty good certainly good enough for a trailer boat and slower curing as you have said they are also a bit less durable to UV etc. They do have advantages apart from cost though they actually are easier to get a nice finish with basic application tools and can give better looking finishes in general with brush and roller in other words a bit more amateur proof. Also much much easier to maintain a simple sand and another coat after a few years brings it back to new. So while I mostly use the epoxy and 2 pack PU I do still use enamel on my dinghies and interior of my keel boat.

I make homebrews here in Canada using Coopers kits from Australia!!! CHEERS from HERE

Can I ask, how have you found dyneema with the change in temperature? I would love to replace our rig with dyneema but in New Zealand we have large temperature fluctuations. From what I read and see dyneema elongates in temperature change and can slacken, have you found this issue at all?

Thanks for explaining how to lift and deploy a porta-bote on a small small sail boat. I have 10 ft. portabote and and a 28 ft. sailboat, but I have never tried to use it as a tender. I have an Avon Redcrest with a 2hp motor as a tender. Fortunately, I dont have to worry about crocs in Delaware, USA.

Please include shots of the farm, family, and animals. 🏡 Thanks for sharing.

Great life channeling! Thank you& good health to all. Question: is there or would you put together a silent sailing around Australia or relaxation music video, maybe a couple of hours. I realize you have a busy schedule. I do miss the sailing you two did together, time sails on. Ciao

You have a very good sense of the camera- I don’t the technical words but I’m impressed at the quality of your videos.

There ya go again Pascal...making us hungry!

Wow what a beautiful amount of squash and pumpkin. We live in a small city and have to make do with our little garden

Nice video

so good.
