The 2000E is one awesome product. It has tiny particles in it that act as shingles the more layers you put on. When my paint needs redone, I find the 2000e is still like new where exposed. 10 yrs later all still good
You nailed it. Was worried when you did the open dodger. You should consider still doing that on your next refit. You could struggle going to cold and wind with that plastic but you probably already know that. Good news is you can still use that top if you do.
Matt, on aluminum aircraft we use a chromate conversion coating between the bare aluminum and the primer. Most commonly known as Alodine. Its also an adhesion promoter for the primer as well. It adds another layer of protection to the paint system. its consistency of water and goes on by wiping. Simple step but can make a big difference in performance. It changes the very surface layer of the aluminum and protects against oxidation. Almost all paint and primer systems do allow some moisture/vapor to make it thru eventually. Having that thin chromate conversion layer can prevent oxidation, bubbles and paint adhesion failure between the aluminum and the primer. it also works great where you have to electrically bond to the aluminum hull. Alodined aluminum still conducts electricity so you still have some protection when you ground to the hull. You still need to add sealant to the whole thing after connecting to keep out water... but it can help a lot to prevent corrosion under a ground wire. Alodine is also known as Iridite or Bonderite or Alumiprep
Love your new intro! Enjoyed the video. I have a 19 year old female Persian. I don't know what I would do without the cat!! Love the animals and of course Georgie!
I know your gonna eventually get a catamaran, but wow. Im sure it's gonna be tuff to let go of this fantastic aluminum boat that you two have poured your heat and souls into. It's a beautiful boat. And you two know it top to bottom.
One through-hull fitting...oh man, I wish. I think we have 17 on Miss Foxy (our Jeanneau 53). Keeps me awake much! Love the Georgie cat and how well you guys explain things. Happy yard work! It's very meditative isn't it! LOL
If you ever need plastic for patterning again, you can use 6 ml vapour barrier which you can probably purchase at any building supply store. It can be pulled tight for the pattern yet won't stretch. Also, might I suggest using Sunbrella Bias Binding to finish your zippers, sewn along the edges for strength and then bind the edges of your strata glass and sew the zippers on the inside of the bound edge. That will create the same effect and is very good at keeping the water out of the zippered area. The zipper bound will tuck up tight to the bound edge of the glass and force the connected glass together tight. If you want a real nice finish, then sew a flat piece of binding on the outside edge of the glass first and then bind the edge. Don't be afraid to pull the pattern tight...then when you put the window on, just start the zipper, fasten the window, (If done right it will seem that the window is almost too small) but then when you finish zipping up the window it will tighten everything up. Don't ever have zippers close at the same point either because that will lead to a greater chance of pulling open and more chance of leaking. Just all suggestions. Always enjoy your videos.
I'm glad to see Georgie back and before you say he is avoiding work check the mouse population on the boat!! Georgie is just trying to make up for lost affection. Bottom is looking good I hope the new paint works well for you. Aloha
My cat thought Georgie getting out of the work was interesting...then went back to sleep. I however did not, and enjoyed the video greatly. I would give it two thumbs up, but they only let me click the thumb up once...twice would just cancel the first thumb....so I guess it has to get one thumb up!
If you look at Mads, from Sail Life, from Danemark, he shows some really great heaters for cold weather, they are simple and work well, he has one on his live aboard, and will put one in his new boat that he is working on, it would be worth you stopping to see him, if you get in his area, Skive, Denmark,
I wonder if you could use the hookah system with a positive air pressure full face mask... That would be great when sanding or with noxious or unhealthy off gassing chemicals.
I like the intro but I think there is no need to compliment editing skills any further. When You're good. You're good. The step by step explanations "during" the process makes all the difference to those who have to be hands on to understand. like me. It will make a great book. Cheers for now.
Very good video. Yall really need to either head south east towards panama or get going up north pretty quick because hurricane season starts in almost a week.just want yall safe. But ive got a question for you. Would you know of any sailboats there for sale .i dont mind working on them. Im just asking. Im in my 30 ft but its to small for 2. Need bigger .be safe always and God bless
Want a sailboat? The internet is your friend. Go to some boat shows as well. Used boats are cheaper, some great deals out there. Deal with reputable dealers, and get a survey. That's really important.
Another great video big thumbs up glad to see you're getting things done yes it can be terrible getting packages in the foreign countries customs customs customs and more customs only problem I had with a video Mattinstead of so much telling us what you're going to do show us you doing it that would be cool you talked your way through instead of showing us but other than that great video you to can't wait till she's back in the water be safe have fun
I love my Chinese diesel fired heater. Let me know if you have questions. I put one into my Chevy Suburban last winter. They are a little tricky to get running. I tapped it right into the existing diesel fuel line. There is a Facebook group just for owners of these knock off heaters, so that we all can share tips and tricks. Good Luck to you. Rick.
Hey Rick. We never ended-up being able to get the heater through customs so they finally refunded the money. We just made it to Ireland, and will order one that is in stock within the UK so I don't need to worry about customs again. Matt
GUYS, RE : GEORGIE GIRL AVOIDS WORK.AGAIN. Well, Duh. Georgie is better suited for a more supervisory position. Georgie is management You guys, are labor. !
That sanding outfit though hubba hubba ;) haha How often does one have to repaint the bottom? I'm only used to boats kept on lifts so never really needed to paint the bottom. Georgie REALLY needs to start pulling her weight, she's old enough now to start chipping in, kids!
Sorry for the delay. We just sailed for 10 days to Ireland. On our last boat we got 3.5 years between bottom paint. We knew we wouldn't get the same with paint designed for aluminum boats, but the paint we used last time started growing grass along the boot stripe within a few weeks of launching. It did hold off hard growth for a long time (2 years), so that is a plus, but for scum, it was terrible. Matt
Nah, Georgie's glamorous, that's all she has to do. Just radiate love. Can you imagine a cat on a boat??? (Actually, Shackleton had a cat, Mrs. Chippy on board. Owned by the ship's carpenter.)
Ps not a criticism, just suggestion I love love love your videos, you are two great people with a sweet pussycat who is sooo in love with Matt. I have a 17 year old Persian girl called Maddy who has had a 17 year old unconditional love for my husband! It’s mutual of course xxxxx
We "think" we have 7600 pounds of ballast with a overall weight of around 19,000 lbs. But none of the weight is in the centerboard. The board only weighs about 100 pounds. Matt
Okay, this feels really cliche. I liked the feel of the opening sequence, so I had a comment up. Throughout the video, add thoughts, and keep watching. All wrapped up, time to finish the comment. And then, as if from the ether, I hear someone say "Georgie also says to give it a thumbs up". A slight chuckle to myself, and then it hit me. I totally forgot to hit like. Good job Georgie!
Sorry for the delay... we just sailed to Ireland. We have two Harken MKII fulers... they are great, but if I were going new, I'd get a Profurl. The Profurls I've used in the past are just plan awesome. Matt
I noticed you are using the Ryobi One tools - especially the angle grinder. How do they compare to other tools you've used? Another great video! I enjoy watching all your episodes.
Cheap?! Home Depots are everywhere and damn near every cruiser uses their products. Hell if there was a Harbor Frieght everywhere their tools would be used instead! I'm a contractor and I use Milwaukee, Bosch, Dewault, Hitachi, and Riobi. They all have their pros and cons, but if you're in the water on a boat I'd rather drop an inexpensive rather than expensive tool in Davie Jones' Locker.... wow, that was a rant! Nice video on the hard guys.....
@@danieloliver20 Not just risk of being dropped overboard, but the saltwater environment is hell on electrical devices that are not designed to handle it. As a mechanic it bugs me to see all the CZcamsrs using crap tools, but it makes a lot of sense given the circumstances. I would probably leave most of MY good tools stored ashore as well.
@@netpackrat I agree, salt water is killer on non-tinned wiring. I have a boat in a marina and the electric tools I leave onboard are cheap harbor frieght drills. etc. I wrap them in plastic to keep the moisture away. My good tools go home with me at the end of the day.
We had a Max-prop on the last boat and loved it's reversing ability and speed increase, but the cost for any of these are much more than I'd like to spend now and I'm not sure the improvement I'd see with the wide keel we have. But, if someone wanted to give me one, I'd be happy to install it :) Matt
@@pstgh- Its for the engine water intake. The boat was repowered and converted from a saildrive to shaft drive before I bought it. I'm guessing the old welded intake was in a location close to the new shaft so was cut out and this added in a different location. Matt
Have you considered using copper powder encapsulated in epoxy. The Sail Life youtube channel is coating their newly rebuilt rudder with it, and plan to do the hull. They are saying they will get 10 to 20 years of life without re-doing the bottom. Here is the vid where he talks about it: czcams.com/video/cMN3n_DT6lg/video.html Starts at 3:23 minutes.
Thanks Matt - of course you are right - I am so used to thinking in terms of fiberglass that the fact that your hull is aluminum completely slipped my mind.
@@lazydays7470 - Steve Dashew has been using copper based bottom paints on the boats he builds (he just retired) with no apparent issues. He just builds up a big barrier coating in epoxy and then applies antifouling like a fiberglass boat. It may be ok, but I'm way too paranoid to give it a try myself. And then there are the aluminum safe copper thiocyanate like Trilux 33... but that is expensive :) Matt

The odds are high that you will have leaks, if you don't shave. Hair creates gaps between the respirator and face, and allows particles in. A full face respirator has higher protection than a half mask. If it isn't a big deal to a person to shave, then that is best. The dust he is creating can be quite small as well. It depends on how toxic the contaminate is and how much risk you are willing to take. Yes, I have used full and half masks with a goatee and accepted the reduced amount of protection, based on the amount of time I would be exposed and the type of exposure. I do disagree with people who say a respirator has no benefit if you don't shave. A respirator will provide more protection than a dust mask and the user can easily notice there is less irritation than without protection or using just a dust mask. An asbestos job I was on, required full face protection (based on lab tests on samples from the site). The risk was too high, it was a government job, and the job could have been up to 5 weeks long. Asbestos particles are smaller than the width of a human hair. There are a couple different tests to check the fit. Covering the filters and inhaling should create a suction on the mask, until you move your hands or stop breathing in. There is a chemical that smells like bananas that should not be detected if waved around the person, while they use a filter that will handle that chemical, and the other one is an irritating smoke that will make you cough if any leaks in.
@@CGT80 Yes, I use the hands over filter to test seal. And yes, I shave my bread as well if toxic. Wood dust, dirt, grass, just slap it over the beard or use a paper mask.

No, you did not need to shave your beard.

Asbestos particles are smaller than the width of a human hair. There are a couple different tests to check the fit. Covering the filters and inhaling should create a suction on the mask, until you move your hands or stop breathing in. There is a chemical that smells like bananas that should not be detected if waved around the person, while they use a filter that will handle that chemical, and the other one is an irritating smoke that will make you cough if any leaks in.

Matt you talk to much!
What were u thinking when u bought that boat ? Bad design with centerboard for blue water. Wasting your money
The Trisalu is one of a series of French designed centerboarders which are very well thought of for blue water use, and should not be confused with the lightweight trailerables you are probably more familiar with. She is very well suited for the type of high latitude sailing Matt and Jessica have in mind.
If I thought I would be in a position to afford her, I would be first in line to buy Elements once they are done with her. I live in southern Alaska and the Trisalu would be nearly ideal for our waters.
Internet 'expert'. Matt did his research.
