[@sailorsrpblc6625]

mate, being a liveaboard for 4 years and watching lots & lots of YT videos @ night about sailing I stumbled accidentally over you video and I'm loving it. You are my new favourite on YT!!! You guys are hard working and funny, PROPER OZY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dancampion]

Thank you so much!

[@swaddington9399]

Amazing work!!!

[@donnakawana]

That was a marathon in an out affair. Your mates are legends... Hope you get lottsa joy outta her...! ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@kathowed]

Amaze-balls! What a fantastic crew! (and I really like the new Director's cut… ) You are the ultimate optimist, Dan. Your glass is never half-empty nor half-full: it's always brimming!

[@dancampion]

Thanks Geof! The cup overfloweth

[@geoffwright7110]

Good to see a local boat upgrade in good old Corio Bay. Well done guys.

[@dancampion]

Thanks Geoff!

[@joetuktyyuktuk8635]

Jeez, more than mussels on that hull, I think I saw some oysters....lol!

[@21mozzie]

I think I saw some coral

[@ez7831]

Love the video!! Maybe less music when people are talking, I want to hear their comments. Best!

[@aquious953]

Nice guys! 4" short nap foam roller leaves a nice flat surface.

[@GetManCA]

1:16 Wow, Luigi personally helped you.😂

[@hesseldijkstra5327]

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Through electrolytes the zinc will dissolve and the valve will leak or disintegrate.

[@American_Jeeper]

Either I’ve got a massive case of déjà vu or you’ve already done this once before. Either way, the amount of barnacles is staggering. Definitely take a drill with a long round brush attachment and make sure your thru-hulls aren’t full of the little buggers.

[@dancampion]

Hahah dont worry, you're not losing it. The first video had issues with the audio so I remade it.

[@American_Jeeper]

@@dancampion That's right it did, because I thought I was going deaf....thanks, Dan, you're really making me question my faculties! :-P

[@pauljamison3340]

Looks like you have cornered the world crustacean market!!!!😜😛😁🤪

[@dancampion]

Hahaha we've definitely got control of the supply

[@josephcrawley3095]

We used an exterior deck paint on our topsides and it has been just fine for over 5 years.

[@SD-ft6gs]

I keep wondering if Dan is an amazing optimist or actually some kind of a masochist... The words he says verses what we see is 180ºs hahahaha... wow. In general though SKIIILLLZZZ... great job!

[@theresedignard4267]

Nice. Resurrected boats are the best.

[@SailingOTR]

Please tell me you did not put brass gate valves on thru hulls below the waterline.

[@dancampion]

Do you want the truth? Or would you prefer if I lied to you about it?

[@incognitoyt7940]

Man I hope u put a sealer coat on prior to antifoul

[@kostasvasilopoulos4468]

in my evening runs from Drumcondra to east beach i thought i saw you guys working lol....is the project finished????

[@neilcampion3118]

Wow what a transformation. Where I live in Hong Kong the growth is worse than that after one year

[@dancampion]

Wow! That's Chinese efficiency for you. A fellow Campion, I haven't met too many others

[@neilcampion3118]

@@dancampion - Me neither. That’s why I got a bit of a shock when I saw your video for the first time.

[@dancampion]

@@neilcampion3118 I wonder if we're somehow related

[@neilcampion3118]

@@dancampion - Now that would be a shock. My parents are both from the East end of London. They came to HK in 1952.

[@andrewseaman7012]

How long do you think that paint is going to last? The blisters will continue forming if you don't let the fibreglass dry out.

[@dancampion]

I'll just keep touching it up as it gets damaged. I'll give it another coat next I bring it out of the water. I'll also just keep repairing the blisters each time I have it on the slip.

[@berniebranfield8124]

Perfect boat or go sailing? I'd go for sailing.

[@donnakawana]

Honestly I wouldn't worry too much. Life's full of fear . Either give in an stay home or deal with it as you go .. 20 years neglected an now look.... Amazing... I wanna paint a mural on your accent wall... Here I am stuck in Baltimore Maryland✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@paulkube3901]

What, no barrier coat first?

[@oldergeologist]

I always put on a barrier coat. For one it helps prevent osmosis.

[@buddhasattva]

@Paul Kube. Because no Barrier Reet'! 😉

[@whotknots]

With regard to valves for through hull applications bronze is far harder and more corrosion resistant than brass. Bronze fittings will almost certainly be easier to obtain at a Marine Chandlers whereas stuff you buy from an ordinary hardware store is probably only brass. Brass is invariably cheaper than good quality bronze but not ideal material for marine fittings.

[@bover86]

Hey, awesome effort. How's the paint holding up? Has it faded or worn away much?

[@williamhamill813]

Holy shit. you look just like me. You could be my twin. And you work on boats.

[@dancampion]

You must be an astonishingly good looking man!

[@JamesDeBono]

How'd you manage to rope Hughesy and Jonesy into it? haha. Looks mint good stuff

[@dancampion]

Hahaha it was easy, I just had to sell my soul. Nah they were keen as, it was good

[@zedthehun]

Was that a brass valve from Bunnings? If so you CANNOT use that in salt water! It will turn into sponge!

[@dancampion]

Tell that to the brass valve from Bunnings that's been below the water line for over a year. Still going strong

[@zedthehun]

@@dancampion Brass has two dissimilar metals in it. Stick it in salt water and it WILL corrode. You need Bronze. That is why they use bronze. But be a smart ass... LOL. Your boat.

[@dancampion]

@@zedthehun haha sorry mate just having a laugh. We were really tight on time, and being new to it, I hadn't prepared properly, so I just made do with what I could get at the time. I'm bringing it out of the water next month, replace all seacocks is number 1 on the list.

[@zedthehun]

@@dancampion If you need to save a $ doing it you are better off with decent quality PVC ball valves. Whitworths used to be a good price. I've been out of it for a long time, used to work with Jim Swanson quite a bit way back when! Good luck with it!

[@dancampion]

@@zedthehun yeah that's a really good suggestion! Seems so obvious, I wish I had have thought of that.. thanks mate!

[@karibakid]

house paint ??

[@dancampion]

Yeah enamel

[@reijerlincoln]

Schweet!

[@murraykriner9425]

What you and your Mate's did in that short of time would have taken a single person several weeks at best with weather and all. Wouldn't recognize her from before.

[@lukaszjot86]

This guy looks like Michael kane

[@dancampion]

Hahaha he's a bit like Michael Kane in batman. I'll let him know, I'm sure he'll be flattered

[@robm5091]

You painted a boat with house paint? I hate to seem negative but it seems like a wasted effort.

[@dancampion]

There's nothing wrong with using house paint. In many ways it is easier to use, it's easy to get a consistent finish and when you inevitably scratch it, you can rub it back and touch it up, unlike two pack paint. You're not negative, you just can't think outside the circle

[@NotOnYourLife]

It is a $870 US Dollar boat, no need it putting a lot into it, just yet. I might have let it cure longer but I won't argue with what was done. I am sure it was costing money every hour it was out of the water.

Quick and nasty job it will little long jeopardy

[@jeanhawken4482]

Very fast

[@rcnortechboats]

A lot of work for nothing!! Sorry I see no Primer. You spend money for nothing!! This is not a professional work.

[@davidcummings6299]

I’m not sure how you can call this a restoration . You did as little as possible

[@dancampion]

Well you know what they say, give the laziest person the hardest job and they'll find the easiest way to do it
