How to properly repair Osmosis for ever, on a beneteau Evasion 32 sailboat.

second part of the beneteau evasion 32 restoration.

[@Jack-wr5wg]

Good video mate. Atleast next time she is hauled out there will be much much less. I have about 150 holes to do on my 36ft. Good job!

[@reversingentropy]

One hole at the time... Cheers 🍻

[@palmergaz]

Rookie question- how to you prep and paint around where the boat props/supports are?

[@reversingentropy]

The answer is very simple, You have to move them 😆, sometimes you can get away with removing just one support and stand on just 3.

New to your channel. glad you can make jokes with the and then stuff

[@reversingentropy]

Cheers mate 😀

[@Mco998-pf1wi]

Awesome video - how long did you let the open spots dry before filling them up with epoxy?

[@reversingentropy]

Thanks. The process of grinding eliminated all the liquid. In other words i grinded past the liquid layer. Cheers

[@Mco998-pf1wi]

@@reversingentropy Thanks, sounds like a good way around the drying if you have enough material!

[@reversingentropy]

@@Mco998-pf1wi yep. In my case the hull is about 10mm the liquid was about 2 or 3mm deep so it worked out perfectly.

[@sololon]

I appreciate the effort you have made to have it all recorded. Not to mention all the other efforts on your boat ... Well done !

[@reversingentropy]

Thank you so much. My pleasure 😁

Awesome job dun correctly! Took me 2 years 2 complete my S2 24’ blister repair! Hard 2 believe U can fit over 1,000 blisters on such a small surface! Couldn’t buy help with the sanding part! Offered double minimum wage & no takers! WTF! I’m old & it was a lot of work! However, I can bask in the glory of knowing it was dun properly! 3 coats of epoxy barrier coat & 3 coats ablative! She will b good 2 go 4 a few years! Never blister again! Should outlive me! 👍

[@reversingentropy]

Of course our glorious ships will outlive us... Because we love them, and spoil them just like children 😁

[@ParabrisasMotocicletas]

Very well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

[@reversingentropy]

My arms still hurt 😂😂😂

[@jochemspillebeen3551]

Well done sir, 👏 what is the marina called where you are working? Looks like there are some more project boats there.

[@reversingentropy]

Hi. I am no longer there. Stargazer is finally in the water again. It was a yard called venmar in Amora near Lisbon Portugal. for your information a 32 foot 9 ton boat costs about 80eur to haul out or in, and a month stay is about 200eur. Cheers.

@@reversingentropy interesting, thnx for the reply. I found your video cause I am always looking for the evasion 32. Do a search on sailing under 5 sails with an evasion 32. If you can't find it I'll send you the picture. It's pretty cool. I knew they had osmosis problems and mostly they are overpriced on the internet. May i ask how much you paid pls?

[@reversingentropy]

@@jochemspillebeen3551 yes i saw some very cool images, amazing sail plan. its one of the reasons i bought it :) do you also have one ?

[@jochemspillebeen3551]

@@reversingentropy No, but I have been following the market on these for about 2 years ; ) they look to me with some extra insulation they could go up to the 60 degree mark.

[@reversingentropy]

@@jochemspillebeen3551 sorry did not press read More lol. Yes these boats are very saught after, i was lucky and got ir for a more or less reasonable price. However i have spent soooo much money on it. Instruments new running rigging paints epoxies woods electrical system... It all ads up

[@petegilbert6886]

Hi just came across your channel and was wondering if you discovered why all the osmosis was only on one side of the hull??

[@reversingentropy]

I think on that side one of the resin layers had bad resin mix and didn't cure from factory properly. With time it started to osmose on just one side. But I can't be Shure

[@petermorland8106]

What kind of fairing compound did you use

[@reversingentropy]

Hi. It was from Hempel, a two part mix, im not sure about the specific reference.

[@davecopp9356]

You did a really good job. It looks great Well done.

[@reversingentropy]

Thank you so much. Cheers mate 😁

[@tdk1246]

I'll never do that again, I'll pay someone next time.

[@reversingentropy]

Hahaha my thoughts exactly but when you have no money 😅😅😅

[@tdk1246]

@@reversingentropy I hear you, bro. We are poor men dabbling in a rich man's game. I've been restoring a 1978 Cape Dory 27. It's a labour of love and wouldn't have it any other way.

Looks great:)

Thanks. Cheers 😁

[@anthonyrees6362]

Cracking job 😊(that means a very good job in the UK)

[@reversingentropy]

Sure hope it doesn't crack. Yes thats right I've got Dad jokes 😂 cheers mate

[@markbailey6051]

No boat has ever sunk from blisters. Like bumps on a golf ball they make it go faster. Making a big hole and then patching maybe not worth it. Paint the bottom and move on.

[@reversingentropy]

Totally agree... Live and learn 😅
