£1 Yacht Rises Again (Part 2)

Join us for the next chapter of the £1 Salvaged Yacht Restoration journey, where we confront the aftermath of the sunken vessel's watery grave. In this episode, we roll up our sleeves to tackle the massive task of clearing waterlogged interiors and removing remnants left behind. Watch as we meticulously remove all items and embark on the arduous process of removing expanding foam from lockers and bilges to restore structural integrity. With determination and grit, we delve into the extensive sanding operation to prepare surfaces for restoration, all while facing the challenge of safely removing the mast. Follow our progress as we navigate the complexities of salvaging and reviving this remarkable vessel, one step closer to its triumphant return to the sea.

Having watched the first episode the condition and damage caused by ignorant previous owners is appalling.

Dont throw the floor plates away, keep them aspatterns for their replacements.

[@mikejansen1515]

I would suggest doing a very thorough inspection of your deck to hull joints. On my Vivacity, the best part of it was loose. It's a sandwich box type joint with brass bolts hidden under the bumper wood strip. The amount of glue they inserted in the joint was not enough. Secondly, all the chain plates were just connected to the deck, which lifted the deck from the hull. I rebuild the hull to deck joint from scratch, and installed new stainless chain plates, redesigned to connect through to hull, meaning, all rigging tension is in the hull, and not the deck. Same for the rear stays and forstay connections.

[@BoatzUK]

Thank you for this great advice, I will be having a thorough inspection of all the deck to hull joints, so far I have not had a closer inspection as yet, but this is definitely great information for me to follow up on, I will keep you posted on what we find 🙏⛵️⛵️

The previous owner has been an absolute mentalist with some special attraction towards the expanding foam. He must have had some kind of a purpose with it, but has never thought it through all the way :-)

[@Gaming25]

I like it when people take care of abandoned stuff. All things were build for a purpose and i dislike seing stuff go to waste.

[@BoatzUK]

Me too, it’s worth saving ⛵️🙏

[@jammi__]

Yes, but sometimes things are just too far gone and would be easier and cheaper to replace than repair. Also in terms of environmental factors; recycling the old boat by separating metals and other recyclable materials and burning the rest as energy would pollute less than than this; spreading microplastics into the environment by sanding it in the open. Manufacturing a new boat, and even manufacturing this one back in the day likely polluted less than its repairwork.

[@BoatzUK]

They is definitely a lot of pro’s and cons to any project and for a small boat like this it’s not the biggest job to salvage, it’s always best to repair than replace ⛵️

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

Looks like you are getting some nice improvements! I am glad you started using protection for when sanding, though.

For the foam removal, a wire wheel on a cordless drill works great. Hot tubs are filled with foam and I have seen the wire wheels used in foam removal for years. Then just vacuum.

You've hit on the key to boat restoration. You can either do it properly, in a short time, for a lot of money, and less labour, or just as properly in a much longer time, for much less money and more labour. Cheap, easy, properly. Pick any two, the difference is the cost and the outcome.

Paint scraper maybe cheapest solution. Causes unintentional scratch to gelcoat but those are easy to fix. I scraped antifouling paint and primers from one of my previous boats for about 20-30 hours.

[@BoatzUK]

Yes I am a lot further ahead now and I used that exact method on a lot of the heavy paint areas, also tried some paint stripper in a test area and that worked well and washed down soon as the paint was scraped off just in case I melted the gel coat.

Bit late now I guess but if you find your sanding discs clog up grab a black bin bag, scrunch it up and run the disc against it, it'll clear the disc up real quick

i bought myself a draco summerwind in like 2013.. finally got it on the ocean earlier this year.. it hadnt sunk though.. the former owner just gave up on it.. had an a4 size hole where the motor/aggregat went through the hull.. i fiberglassed it and bought a 9,9 outboard motor.. bought the boat for 10 norwegian krone.. NOK. thats about 0,75 british pounds google tells me..

[@BoatzUK]

That’s great news that you now have her back in the water 😎 this is what it’s all about, thank you for sharing this and I will keep pushing forward ⛵️⛵️

Why buy a pump and a new battery? Take a garden hose and use the siphon effect. Takes over night, but costs you nothing.

[@BoatzUK]

I actually bought it for another boat I have but then this yacht came up so used it as it was already on site, also the pump that was in the yacht still works so that’s good news, siphon is a good way of doing it ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏

[@thomassummerhill6357]

Previous owners should be compensating you for taking it off their hands , don’t know jack about boats but interested if you get it back shipshape 👍

[@BoatzUK]

Thank you for being here, progress coming soon ⛵️😎

[@bish1121]

Angle grinder & flappy discs would be cheap & effective 👍.

[@BoatzUK]

I will give this a go thank you 🤩

[@robertanderson2008]

You can use petrol to dissolve expanding foam or acetone or thinners

[@BoatzUK]

Yes that does work. Just a few small bits remaining to get out now 😎🙏⛵️

[@jeremyduncan3654]

I wonder I’d you could have used a paint stir adapter to get that foam out. What a PIA.

[@BoatzUK]

The rusty saw seemed to do the job but they would have definitely been easier ways 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@julias-shed]

Have you tried Abranet sanding disks? They don’t clog. 😀

[@BoatzUK]

Ohhhh no I haven’t this sounds good 🙏😁⛵️

[@Baggyarse]

Keeps you fit restoring a boat , out of interest I would have loved to have heard what the quote would have been to sand blast the hull, because that's a saving by not using that process and sticking with the 3 day graft of DIY.

[@BoatzUK]

the quote was around £500 at a guess as one of the lads in the marina had his done and that’s what he paid so that’s approximately what it would have been, so forget my labour as I am free 🤣 so a good saving in my eyes ⛵️

[@KandMe1]

That was interesting. It sank because the hull was filled with foam and that foam became waterlogged. Who would have thought it?

[@BoatzUK]

Many other factors also but this definitely didn’t help 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@KandMe1]

@@BoatzUK seems like a good idea if it was letting in water, so fill it with spray foam. Easy enough.

[@philrogers1758]

scotchbright stripit disc !

[@BoatzUK]

I will try this method out thank you 🙏⛵️

[@michaelhviid398]

I have no idea of what you are made up of! Impressive attitude! I gave up on your behalf several times during the video :-)

[@BoatzUK]

Thank you, I just love seeing the different when I start getting the job done, I like to keep pushing forward, there’s a lot still to do 🤣⛵️⛵️

[@user-to3zy7ew5w]

I have seen others to buy a vessel for one quid, Well turns out, they had a vessel afterwards

[@BoatzUK]

🙏⛵️

[@MarvinMotorsofficial]

I would cover the whole boat in paint stripper and power wash it of. I bet the cheap paint will come off easy.

[@BoatzUK]

That would definitely work and it would be easier, I was worried about melting the gelcoat but I did do a test area and it worked ⛵️🙏

[@DonaldRak-ku6bi]

Wow hope you got 6 amp battery charger hooked the battery, they only last for 10 hrs at most love that water flow from pump it's like me peeing after lots beer 🍺 😅

[@BoatzUK]

I felt the same when I edited the video 🤣 toilet stop soon as heard the pump running ⛵️

[@hellohellohello6847]

Hi mate, what a great project.. where are you based?

[@BoatzUK]

Thank you 🙏 Preston Marina Lancashire, ⛵️

[@cornishhh]

Well, that's looking a lot better. What's the white boat next to yours? It's an unusual looking thing.

[@BoatzUK]

Thank you, not sure but I will find out for you ⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@k6fgj]

I’m sorry to say it but I think you may have wasted your pound ,but I admire your commitment!

[@BoatzUK]

It’s all about the challenge, thank you for your comment Ian ⛵️🙏

[@k6fgj]

@@BoatzUK oxalic acid can work wonders on rust stains on fibreglass definitely worth a try . It’s incredibly frustrating when folks use mild steel instead of stainless fixings and fittings .
