Boat Deck Repair: HOW TO Repair a sailboat deck that is rotten to the balsa core! We recommend fixing s sail boat deck BEFORE The anchor windlass just rips right out of the fiberglass sailboat decking! ! Patrick Childress Sailing
Patrick spends a weekend with some DIY repairs on the bow deck and decides how to repair the deck of a sailboat this time! ...he felt that the deck was a bit soft around the windlass, probably signifying some rotten balsa coring, so he decided to rip up the fiberglass deck, and explore what was under the Lofrans anchor windlass, and start some boat deck repair to be sure our windlass stays attached in all anchoring conditions. So he removed the Lofrans windlass, tears in to ripping up the deck, only to find wet balsa core, and has to decide how to Repair the deck of a sailboat . . He cut back a rather large area of the deck and removed all the wet balsa coring material. He shows step by step, how he removes it, and cleans it up, and then how he makes all the fiberglass deck repairs, and then fairs it out, primes the deck, and then paints the deck. Fiberglass deck repairs, shown step by step. He will remount the windlass in a future sailing diy video. This old sailboat Brick House is stronger than ever! One more sailboat restoration project out of the way, One more surprise behind us, on the hard in South Africa.
For a little break, we take a South African Safari for the weekend to HlueHluwe Imfolozi National Park. This time, we saw more rhinos than any other species, other than deer. Sparring Rhinoceros is not what what you want to get near, but somehow we got lucky!
