Hi Huub, get yourself a small compressor so that you can blow out all the dust in the area’s of repair plus keep blowing out your tools since the fibre glass dust is super abrasive to you electric motors, I speak out of experience, I am a old boat builder from way back having done my apprenticeship and time in Dutch shipyard, take care. P.s. enjoy and look forward to your weekly blog

[@unhippy1]

Agreed....fiberglass dust is just evil, both on electric tools and skin

[@marklapierre5629]

It looks like you're doing a fine job on the bottom. I hope Danie is not gone for long. She's a jewel.

[@allenclark1914]

Sorry to see Daniela leave, hope you update us on her progress and any return date. You are doing a very nice job of sanding down the hulls.

[@robertgold2643]

I wish for you all that glorious sanding goes as quickly as it does for us watching 😉

[@cohall46]

Sorry that you had to temporarily had to say goodbye to Daniela but from the look of your bacon and egg sandwiches I don't think that you are going to starve until she returns. Thanks for sharing.

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Love your cat.

[@mostlymatt8936]

Great work, sir, much respect. That takes a lot of determination and finesse to do all that overhead, agressive sanding and NOT blow right through the gelcoat. In the heat too, and while living in the boat you're working on, with such limited access to tools and materials. Herculean. Inspiring. Appreciated.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thanks Matt! Yeah, doing really my best making it nice!

[@Mark-abc]

Yes , too bad he doesn’t pick up all that stuff he’s scraping and sanding off the boat !

[@rtyughvbn12]

All in good time

Thanks Dave! Yeah, a bit of privacy is nice hehe

[@mariemorrissey9378]

👍👍✔️✔️👏👏👏👏 Progress! Both of you are working on big goals!

[@ericdelevinquiere9902]

Got some serious structural damage there, take your time isolating the damage and rebuild for strength not looks. In your place I would do all structural repairs there and move the boat to where materials are 10X cheaper for all the finishing touches! In other words, get it floating and get it gone!

[@Mark-abc]

I wouldn’t sail on that boat for all the money in the world. That boat was seriously damaged and it never was professionally surveyed. The guy is just going happy go lucky !

[@ericdelevinquiere9902]

@@Mark-abc This guy is totally capable of fixing this boat, he has had to live with the consequences of his actions on the water for a while and I would trust him more than a surveyor with little or no invested interest in this project.

[@Mark-abc]

@@ericdelevinquiere9902 Anyone can fix superficial , cosmetic damage. But how about structural damages that can’t be seen from outside? That boat took a big hit from that container that was thrown on top of it by the hurricane so it’s very likely that there is damage to the structure . Now I can understand your vetted interest in those videos but you have to act responsibly and think about the safety of anyone that’s gone be sailing on that boat .

You can just raise the waterline to hide any imperfections from sanding. Plus, it hides the scumline better.

[@johnp9890]

What actually needs to be done? It seems like a part of the keel is indented? How do you plan to make the keels equally deep again? Just cutting out the indented part will not make the keel konger again..?

Don’t throw away your sanding discs when they get clogged. Just clean them with White Spirits. They’ll come up like new and you can re-use them. It’ll save you a small fortune.

Another sailboat sanding channel talking about sailing the oceans….

[@Mark-abc]

Without a documented professional survey that boat has zero value .

[@jackdbur]

You need to open up the keel area outside & inside before a professional surveyor will be able to generate a proper report! I would suggest that doing the minimum to get her seaworthy & moving to Puerto Rico or Florida where you can get materials far cheaper and easier to do the proper repairs.

[@Mark-abc]

@@jackdbur oh I am not thinking of the keels , more importantly is the structure holding the boat together. How to know the structure has not been compromised ?

[@rtyughvbn12]

There are some mighty big cracks.

[@philj3095]

I was wondering if you really know how to fix the keel . I think you might want to get someone to come and advise and do an in depth epsoide on all the areas that need fixing . All i know is where the blue tape is and some short clips of that damage . I cant take anymore sanding videos please get some other repair videos together . You channel is intresting and i did like all the waterfall and beaches . It seemed strange the way you only showed the cip of the airport and said you dropped her off . Viewers like me like details and its seemed clunky to watch . Im not hating on you or your channel but i think if you want to grow the all aspects of your jorney and story shoukd be told i mean not every heres what i ate today and then sanding video. Explore around like a reporter more you did in one video but you need to paint a bigger picture . All of what i said is not meant be mean you can tell me to F off and thats fine , just sharing my thoughs about a good chsnnel .

[@Pedro-bu8xd]
