My God! What a huge project you have set yourselves! Everywhere you turn there is lots of work to do! Not just lots of work but lots of HARD work!!! Sanding flow-coat (inside painted finish of fibreglass) to the extreme you have in the V birth area and the bulges for gods sake is a hard dirty and seemingly never ending job. You must be a very patient and thorough person to do such a great job. I doubt people who haven't experienced this could ever appreciate the massive amount of effort you guys are putting in. Can't wait to see you in a warmer climate, anchored and enjoying the fruits of your efforts and sacrifices to make it happen. I'm sure both your faces will beam with pride!!!

Yeah I guess it is a lot of work.. I understand some may think it’s a bit crazy we are sanding the flow-coat in the bilges. But it didn’t look “pretty”..nothing will get past Ziggy :) haha we really want everything to be too notch. 💪

Good work, great to see an Oyster 39 being renovated. We own an Oyster 35 which, as you probably know, is the smaller sister of your boat. We have refitted our boat over the 18 years we have owned her. We have done a lot of miles in our boat and she has always looked after us, they are worth the investment in time and money. The bowthruster is an almost essential addition to relieve the stress of marina manoeuvres. We got rid of the old Perkins and installed a new Yanmar 56 which has been a great investment too. When we dealt with the dampness in the hull it took 8 months ashore to dry it all out.

Hi Paul, yes we know Oyster 35. We know someone in Gibraltar who has lived on one for many years. Very similar to ours. We did consider new engine at first, after some confirmation and some persuasion from a friend who offered to help with the refurbishment we decided to try and revive the old Perkins. We will soon see how it turned out..it is almost ready 😬

She is coming along nicely. For those oily surfaces have you tried wiping down with a vinegar and baking soda mix , it worked on the surface of a kitchen I cleaned.

Looking fantastic with the primer on well done. Ziggy your going to have arms to make anyone at the local gym be envious. Why not post an ad in the gym and get volunteers to sand the Hull with the promise of a top notch workout 👍

next time apply some sacrificial tape around the area you want to fair (makes it easier to clean up right after the job and before the epoxy sets in), apply the fairing compound with a slightly bigger spatula and build it up higher than what you need, aniway you will have to come back and sand. if you have a bit of peel ply around you can lay it on top of that fairing, wait for the epoxy to start geling and use a paint roller to smooth everything out, very gently.

Thank you for that suggestion. 🙏 I didn’t realize peel ply can be used on fairing compound as well, thought it would be too soft and wouldn’t hold the peel ply well. Best, Nat

Nice work, glad that you're making good progress! I know I shouldn't nag you but if you create a wish list on Amazon, I'll buy you a couple of respirator masks because I can't stand seeing you breathe in all that dust! I just finished renovating my apartment in Hawaii and will sell it and then immediately go to my boat. I did a lot of sanding and oh boy is that not good to breathe in. Sorry for sounding like a parent, but I find it painful to watch, haha. Anyway, I won't mention it again, I promise. Good luck! Edit: I don't like when people impose their opinion on me and I don't want to do it on you either so if you don't want masks, I'm of course fine with that. :) Cheers!

Your “nagging” is justified, it is so sweet of you to show concern and also remind us of the importance of using masks. I will buy respirator masks today and we will use them from now on :) 😊🙏 You are moving onto your boat, how exciting! Do you have plans to travel the world 🌎 as well? I can only imagine that life in Hawaii must be an extraordinary one. Hawaii is definitely one of the places we want to sail to. 🥰

@@sailingsqualo I'm Swedish/US citizen and lived here for 21 years. I love it here, but I need a break so I bought a 35ft sailboat in Rio Dulce, Guatemala in March. I'm selling all my stuff here and should hopefully close in Dec and then move full time to the boat. My plan is first to sail to Florida for a minor refit and then to Sweden (hopefully for the coming summer), but it's a long way and I'm more stubborn than experienced :)

Cześć załoga , oglądamy Was z mężem od kilku miesięcy z wielka radością . Sami remontowaliśmy 12 metrowy jacht przez 3 lata , wiec wiemy jak to jest . Na początku tez się b rozczarowaliśmy stanem łódki i ile będzie nas to kosztować . Mąż nawet chciał się jej pozbyć ale ja nie dałam za wygrana i postanowiliśmy remontować choćby po to by odzyskać pieniądze . Teraz po czterech latach jesteśmy szczęśliwi ze wytrwaliśmy , najlepsza decyzja naszego życia . Jeśli macie jakieś pytania proszę piszcie . Ps jestem z zawodu pielęgniarka i serce mi się kraje jak patrzę na Zygmunta pracującego bez maski a szczególnie z fiberglass, pamiętaj Zygi ze co nawdychała pozostanie w płucach na resztę życia i spowoduje zwlukinienia w przyszłości. Cheers Iwona and Geir

Hej Iwona i Geir! Jak miło ze nas oglądacie od jakiegoś czasu. 😊 dzięki za słowa otuchy. Dokładnie tak jest ze im więcej zaczynamy „grzebać”, tu i ówdzie napotykamy więcej problemów których początkowo nie było widać. Ale nie poddamy się, Squalo ma szczescie ze trafiła na nas, nie zostawimy jej w takim stanie, będzie jedynie lepiej :) Co do masek, nie jesteś jedyną osobą która o nich wspomniała i konsekwencjach nie używania ich podczas pracy z fibreglass.. w 100% się zgadzam.. Tłumaczył się ze po latach pracy na budowie i tak się sporo nawdychał rożnego dziadostwa. Jednak nie trzeba tego pogarszać prawda? :) obiecał ze będzie przestrzegał noszenia maski 👍 Pozdrawiamy, Natalia i Ziggy
