You re bedded the chain plate cap with silicon, that will last for a while. A more permanent solution is to use butle tape.
Yup. You are correct. But we didn't know about butyl tape. It's on the list of jobs to do. ;)
looks like the lock nut is missing on the chain plate.
Gracias Mamá por toda esa ropa tan bonita!!!
Always blue tape the white bulk before you paint wood to prevent over paint.
Hey Dan - awesome advice. Natalie actually did tape, but it was white tape and thinking back now might not have showed up on camera.
Being in the fiberglass business for 40 + years I would have liked to have see better picturers of the cracks . But they fixed is so there was a problem . What I did not like in the original repair was not fully grinding out the old ripped fiberglass around the pin area.
But all is good as you made it across the Atlantic! Cheers Warren
I just found your channel but, I noticed the Jam nut wasn’t installed here on the tie rod after you had it all back together loosely. I really hope this was caught during the rig tuning. I would really hate to see that come loose on you. Enjoying your videos so far. Keep up the good work. 👍
Good pickup Bill. I did catch it as well during the install. Just didn’t have footage. Cheers for watching.
Greetings 😊 does the gel coat add strength on top of the fiberglass? I sort of thought it was there to make the boat look pretty, but since you’re doing it under the counter where no one will see it I’m second-guessing. This question is coming from an armchair sailor who’s never been on a sailboat before. God bless
Hey Tim - great question. And you are right to a point. The gelcoat doesn’t add strength to the structure/glass. But it helps protect the glass and makes for a better surface to keep clean, keeps out moisture and adds a level of wear and tear protection. That’s what I understand but I’m sure a gelcoat boffin would know better. 👍
@@SailingZephyr Ok, that makes sense!
What did you do with the Lugnuts on the bottom of the chain plate shaft
Hahah.. of all comments, I choose to mention just the cloths your mum sent.. LOL!! I should say, welcome Marcus!! And wow! that's a lot of fiber glass!
Haha! My mumbo! Such a lovely one I have! One pair of shorts turned into a whole bag of clothes! Hehe
Enjoyed seeing you address repair issues. Great footage recording the fiberglass repairs (both times). Crazy impressed if Marcus only brought one duffle bag and it included clothes for Nat! Were you able to source parts needed on Island or do you have to have them shipped to you? Sorry, enjoying your videos from start to finish.
Hey mate - Sint Maarten is a great place for boat works. Parts are everywhere and can be sourced from US pretty quick if needed.
Now he’s applying gelcoat. Very, very bad fumes also !!!!! Where’s his mask !!!
Did they match the glassing (chain plate) on the other side or will that be the weakest link?
No need to repair the other side as it was fine. Only the port side was affected.
I'm concerned about creating a weak link on the starboard side?
@@TairnKA I'm not sure how it would as the anchors are separate.
@@SailingZephyr The impression I got was, there's Port and Starboard chain plates of similar design so if one is beefier then the other, there's the weak link.
Though I could assume that the rigging tuneup compensates for this? ;-)
DOH! Hit me with a frying pan, these "chain plates" are not part of the rigging but as you've said, part of the anchoring system. ;-D
do you have a music playlist?
I’ll chase Natalie up and come back to you mate. I think she is working on one.
The young boat yard worker is fiberglassing in a small enclosed space without gloves, ventilation, or breathing mask for the safety of his health. Fiberglass fumes are extremely bad for your, his health. WTF !!!
