The more I see Bella, the more she amazes me. She's not shy getting her hands dirty and she's always learning things about the boat while working on it with Lee.

[@carltontweedle5724]

Family learn this is a mother and dads job, the youngling well did listen.

[@mirekbns]

Holding down the fort while mom is away! Great job!!!

[@SailingCatalpa]

They are awesome 🤩🤩🤩

[@yachticus]

Bella - if you don't want the forward locker - wet stinky (as will be the case when recovering the anchor) see if you can get a grate onto the floor for the wet anchor chain to rest on when recovered -- it will dry a heap quicker.(even better if its a rubber matt)

[@briancochran8356]

Bella you are a real star diving into all these boat jobs. After you guys are done with the updates repairs the boat will be unrecognizable.

[@paulmann1440]

Great job, team Catalpa. I can sense the dynamic has subtly changed, now that you're getting ever closer to getting back on the water, it's fantastic to see all the extra positivity 😊. Have a fantastic week.

[@J0EYbagaDONUTS]

Bella and Lee have become a great team on this refit .

[@tongroenendaal7015]

When Bella is with you, it’s allways a job well done!

[@Stakman1]

Moving along nicely! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidh3194]

Great work team Catalpa!!

[@rossmain4142]

Cannot wait to see this big girl back in the water, she is looking awesome, well done crew, you have done, whoops 😮you ARE doing a great job

[@colleenbalch328]

Thanks for bringing us along... you're getting so close. Excitement is building and can't wait for you to hit the water.

[@tjack49er]

Well done captain, your welds are looking great! I’ve been fabricating for 30+ years and I’d be happy with what I’ve seen.
Snd thanks for finding a less obnoxious hat to wear…

[@Harry-bh5dg]

You guys work so well as a team, always a great seeing what you are up to. New anchor system looks really nice well done.

[@bencampbell2407]

G'day captain Lee ,when applying Teflon tape ,the idea is to form a taper ,also it pays to ruff up the thread tò stop the tape sliding on the thread, i wouldn't recommend using any type of thread sealant with Teflon as they work against each other. In that situation your better off applying the sealant (if using ) to the female thread to stop the sealant compromising the 4200 seal . Not taking the piss mate just advice from a experienced plumber. Hats off to you and tig skills and boat is looking great. Kirra is cranking again with southerly swell, kelly has been carving 😊

[@OTHG6v]

Bella, your pronunciation is sooo good! Keep it up!

[@laurapitre5797]

We are about to regalvanize our anchor in Penang so we're glad to hear it worked well on your chain! Cheers from SV Mojo!

[@garoldjackson8401]

Another cool working video... Thanks

[@js7127]

Thanks Lee for sharing your go too's for adhesives. Looked up 577 and found applications of mine it will improve. My favorite Permatex 59214 works well with pfte tape or alone on everything from fuel, oil, high pressure hydraulic n coolant w/400 deg heat rating. Admire taking the small steps for extra clean installs. Important ethic you are instilling in Bella n Taj and it shows. Hat's off!!!

[@alleycat5472]

Just found you. Congrats on ep 400. Thank you for sharing.

[@ronjohnson9690]

Taj needs to be let loose in that welding shop and professionalize the wall.

[@pbear6251]

Great video guys. I did notice with your alterations on the bow roller that your hole in your anchor is now in front of the piece you welded to keep the chain in the roller. are you still going to use that hole in the anchor to lock the anchor so you don't lose it while you are under way?

[@andrewchristopher7138]

Hi

[@kb1esx]

Please tell me that your logo or something is on the wall. P.S. Bella is a little minion in all that gear.

[@SailingCatalpa]

It’s not yet but it will be ☺️

[@ugotlj4133]

Do u guys ever miss the ferrocement? Are u glad u switched boats?

[@donj2744]

👏👏👏

[@donj2744]

[@user-ix5qy2jk7h]

😃😄😀🥰👍👍👍👍👍

[@saltysnoopy]

4200 & 5200 DO NOT BELONG ON BOAT ... end of story. Sikaflex 291 below the waterline and Butyl rubber (the black stuff) above the waterline.

[@markbailey6051]

I think a swivel is unnecessary
