[@Sysgen]

Stunning! Well done.

[@sailingZERO]

Thanks matey

[@DreadDoctor]

Dam bro. You are a very good wood worker. Looks amazing. You should do more video's like this only dive deeper into it. Maybe stretch it out over 3-4 or , 5 10:00 min videos. I know I'd be glued to my computer...

[@sailingZERO]

You really want me talk about how I cut that board and that? I thought that must be very boring. What kind of information do you miss?

[@davidwarnes5158]

Wasn't sure at the beginning, but I was wrong .it looks awesome.

[@sailingZERO]

Thanks. It takes a strong character to admit that you were wrong.. but I had my concerns too, wasn't sure if it looks good at all. I was wrong, too.. Thanks

[@fincajabali6049]

Respect..that was a huge improvement to liveaboard life!

[@sailingZERO]

A total game changer.

[@jbsanger696]

[@sailingZERO]

Don't leave port without it.. just today we had some nasty rain crossing between Moorea and Tahiti. But thanks to the dodger it was ok..

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Wow you guys did a superb job on that dodger, lots of careful thought and great execution. Love the detailing. Andy UK

[@Nerd3927]

Wonderful! Great woodwork is an everlasting source of Endorfines. Really impressed with the craftmanship you put in, instead of just slapping something on that is functional.

These endorfinas last long too. The bigger the project the longer it lasts. Thanks for your compliments..

[@sailingZERO]

It is.. right now I'm locking at it and feel great.

[@milolabrett6549]

Great to see your latest work done on Zero. I worked as a deck hand and cook in the 80's Red Sea /. Mediterranean on a similar Hudson ketch 50 ft built in 1979. Your videos bring allot of memories back including the swivel stove, which looks to be the original. Keep on Keeping on!

[@sailingZERO]

Wow that must have been an amazing time back then. Do you remember the boatname?

[@milolabrett6549]

@@sailingZERO There was two identical Hudson's that sailed together.I was on Asterix and the other vessel was Idefix. I met up with them in Eilat Israel in their last leg of a 3 year voyage from Hong Kong, the captains were from Marseille.They did diving excursions with mostly French National clients. Our first destination down the Gulf of Aqaba was Sharm El Sheikh, which at the time 1983 was a tiny Navel outpost not really even a village. Amazing diving snorkelling and fishing, a Sinai Peninsula secret destination. Amazing diving snorkelling and fishing, it was a Bedouins paradise which is unrecognizable today from then. We continued through the Suez, which is a very fascinating passage and into the Mediterranean and sailed through out the South Eastern Greek Islands. We were caught in a terrific storm and blew down to Heraklion Crete and then discovered that one of the engine mounts had cracked. So your video on the engine mounts rang Big Bells with me. Your change out is far more superior than the originals. Thank you for your reply, where are you now?

[@peterjohnstaples]

Well done and with the refit it was a lot of work, Great to see and commendable.

[@sailingZERO]

So much work.

Just beautiful and she has skills with power tools ! Oh Yea ..... dodger looks like it came from the factory, serves many functions. What ever can be done to keep out of the weather is a huge bonus ! Was there a reason you didn't glass the exterior walls and then paint ?

[@sailingZERO]

Oh yeah she has.. 💪 we used Hydrotek marine grade ply for the walls, that stuff is amazing..then 2 coats epoxy , 2 primer 2 paint. We hope that should do the job for a awhile..

[@daangs3161]

Looks amazing, surprised more sailors don’t get rid of their fabric dodgers. Does it also function as a rain catcher?

[@sailingZERO]

Yeah I'm wondering the same.. it's build to catch rain as well, yes. But it's not set up. Need to attach a hose to guide it to the tanks.. no need for that at the moment..

Can you please tell us what was the total cost ?

That is hard to determine. I never added it up. Out of the belly I would say about 7 to 10k only for material. Add labor if you need..
