Bluewater Sailing Yacht Refit - Painting a Boat Bottom of our Steel Sailboat Restoration Project

[@dianne.murielrobidoux9008]

Watched both live videos GREAT ENERGY 👍 So nice to have you both back

[@cd4222]

Two questions: 1. If you attach the teak to the metal, don’t you create a space in between the roof and the teak which you could insulate to keep the heat out or to run wires for lights, etc.? 2. Are there parts of the tattoos that we don’t see?

[@rastagrastag9496]

Good choice with going with the chamber for the ceiling of the salon

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you!

[@mikemcquinn6738]

I Love you two!!! Keep up the good work. Enjoy the journey!!!

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you Mike!

There wouldn't ever be a dull moment being married to you Iana - very lucky guy.

[@DawnHunters]

Joe. As they say all is great on the big screen. Took me 60 years of special training to handle my Wife. Lol Capt W

[@spikeafrican8797]

Dr. Lana and staff! You guys are great.😉

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you!!

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

Good job comrade yana ,William if it was me I would put wood outside the metal and insulation above between them or use the space for something.

[@DawnHunters]

That’s a good 💡 David! I’ll talk to William about it

[@mysurlytrucker7510]

@@DawnHunters cool comrade yana , No Gulag for you 😉 x ps you could hide a dog safe in there waterproofing it of course. Was thinking I don't know its length but surf boards long awkward things perhaps slide inside a compartment one each side ???

[@para1324]

Fun times, and another very good video. Best intentions for the second coat and, time runs out temperature runs down. Sanding blocks may ease the pain. 👍🇺🇸

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you!

[@jkxtreme5]

Part of the reason I follow you two is simply that you project a fun outlook on life even with the amount of work you have ahead of you.

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you !!! There are some very long days but in light of current affairs will be worth the effort for sure. Capt W

[@bertohlsson6921]

If you left space in the roof you can add isolation, which is great in both hot and cold climates.

[@frankrice5364]

Wow the boat is looking good

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you Frank!

[@juanjosegarcia8499]

you are fantastic! You are a very nice and funny couple! it was a very funny video! and lastly, Capt. William is incredible all the experience and knowledge that you have of everything!

[@DawnHunters]

Juan. Thank you for being with us. Capt W

[@jerylabrams8408]

The look on your face Iana was precious, with the extra sanding. Still dying to know the final color🤪

[@DawnHunters]

Jeryl Good day. Iana has been having those looks now almost every day. Lol Capt W

[@jkxtreme5]

You guys have way more energy than I have... You will have touched every inch of the boat before you head out to sea. That will benefit you down the road.

[@DawnHunters]

Good day. Yes I agree that now a strange sound will only be Yana in the boat. Lol Capt W

[@thelifeboatguy]

Great video thank guys :) Picking up mine tomorrow!! cant wait!

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you Oliver! What kind of boat are you getting?

[@thelifeboatguy]

@@DawnHunters a 34ft Grand Banks liveaboard :) starting a similar adventure to you guys, begining with project "Restore".

[@MrEsnyders]

You guys are awesome, can't wait to see your completed boat, really enjoying the engenuity, skill and hardwork Captain William and Jana is putting into the vessel you so going to enjoy the Ride. !! My wife just said to me I"m getting ideas meaning I'm looking at buying a close cabin Sail vessel in South Africa Cape Town, restore the boat and take on the World.

[@DawnHunters]

Ebrahim!!! This is amazing that our little Vlog on the other side of the world can change lives. So happy you guys are here!!! Capt W and Dr Iana

[@kjelpeterson5236]

Always exciting to see the progress

[@DawnHunters]

Thank you Kjel!

I think dentists actually have the cool tools. Little mini angle grinders, shot blasters, drills, polishing buffers and vacuum cleaners so powerful they can suck your tonsils out.

[@DawnHunters]

Yes!!! They are just tinier 😅

[@perrydiddle3698]

First off. I changed my profile pic??? I THOUGHT I LOST YOU GUYS! I couldn’t find you in my library. You threw me the slip (pun intended LOTI). You’ve gone from Dawn Hunters to Sailing Dawn Hunters. Oh well as long as we meet up again. Second, Lucile Ball in her candy factory uniform comes to mind. I can’t wait til this job turns out. We’ll have to see where the most coating lands - on Iana or the boat.😂 we Kidd because we love, right I’m so glad you two have a great sense of humor. That being said, may I offer my definition of what break means? Take Breakfast. Break FAST. No time to relax. Grab a donut, cup of coffee to go, and get a paintin’.😂

[@okeefer2000]

If you put the wood flat, it will be less work, and maybe it will be better because you will have space to run wires and such?

[@johndodds7949]

Please tell us what you spent the 20 on??

[@williamffoster]

will you be insulating between the roof and the teak in the pilot house

[@DawnHunters]

William When I fabricated the top was concerned about heat so it has 3/4 hand laid fiberglass top, 3 inches of high density poured foam for insulation, 1/4 hand laid fiberglass bottom and then 1/4 marine plywood attached for attachment of the teak strips. Even without the solar panels to block the sun roof temp inside is cool. Needless to say living in Florida having correct sun and heat protection is paramount. Great question Capt W

[@morriscorreia7282]

Sweet outfit

[@FMTFXE22]

Does this boat yard charge you a tariff on the products you buy and bring in to use on your boat?

[@richardarnold8018]

To the handsome humorous boating couple, from Rumplestiltskin. You report a 5’6” draft with a solid 6.5” solid steel heel at the bottom of your keel. You will be traveling west to the big Pacific Ocean. Would it be worth engineering a temporary steel drop keel, , attached to the solid steel heel for more draft, stability and windward ability?

[@DawnHunters]

Good day Richard. THE RICHARD I had not thought of this but is a super good idea. Had you brought this comment up 3 months ago for sure would have an added steel keel of 1 foot to the current design. Maybe like a fin keel that would be only 1 inch thick x 1 foot long or other option to start midship to aft and make it 2 foot. I would have to check weight of such. Thank you for the comment and the solid bones of an amazing boat Capt W

[@pepperKingdom]

subtitles option ???

[@johnturner2175]

In this case it would be the barrel look.

[@DawnHunters]

Whisky barrel 😆

[@giovanniallegro3790]

please activate subtitles for translation? Thanks

[@professorlaffmoore6970]

Being a new subscriber, I don't know what you mean by...Ask me about my tattoos?

[@DawnHunters]

Hello and welcome aboard! It was a joke because every other comment we get from new subs is about my tattoos 🤪 Iana

[@professorlaffmoore6970]

@@DawnHunters You are a very attractive young woman. I wouldn't doubt you have tattoos. I wont ask how to see them, but that does not satify my curiousity. Have a very lovely day, and good luck with you boating project.

John The YES is when we are really not needing the YES. When we need the YES it becomes no. Such is life lol Capt W
