What does he do for the water damaged teak under the cabinet at 20:18? I have a few spots on my boat and wonder if they sand and restain or replace the entire piece of wood. If the wood is replaced it’s a piece of wood that is 3’ tall by. 12’ long so I’d like to not replace the wood if possible.

[@Rodrifuuu]

Man, this boat is gonna look amazing when you're done with it. Great job, James.

[@MachTuck]

After all the work and how beautiful it`ll come out, under no circumstances I would sell it! Definitely, a keeper!

[@gride5153]

I think there could be a great business for you working with these guys. Potentially two main ways: 1) You as a middle man for repair and maintenance work for western clients. 2) You and them sourcing insurance right-off boats, not overly damaged, but too expensive to fix in a western port. Repairing and selling them.

Kudos, Looking super and yeah, Lisa is Back❤

[@roberth7894]

Great vid, I love how these guys are working to get your boat ready for the next years. Looking forward to part 2.

Good to see you James. Affordable!! Very important.

[@dave-wk4t]

Great vid, James. Such a long way from “if it moves - salute it; if it doesn’t - paint it grey”.

[@todbot3293]

James, I thought you had already done all the painting 120 videos ago. Anyway, she is looking great, can't wait to see her when she's done.

[@MrRourk]

Big jobs and plans! Love it! Pay more for heat reflecting paint. It is worth it.

[@jenshenriksen3030]

I have been working with boats for 30 years and I just wanna give you an advice. It’s better to Fiberglass your old holes, even though if they are not so big for safety reasons, you will grind on the outside ledge Philadelphia fiberglass matting from the outside and on the inside, you give it a couple of layers too. Good luck with everything. I imagine you are already on the way too. I am on my boat not far away from you Virgin Islands crossing red Atlantic.

[@johnmagnan759]

I never realized how big my former boat was until I did the first bottom job. Suddenly a 30 foot boat was a mega yacht to me. That was an experience. Not to mention all the other stuff that needed attention.

[@southerncross86]

[@notwhatiwasraised2b]

Tyvek building wrap or suits might be effective breathable filters for sanding exhaust or boat openings. Saw one guy using it as a jib sail Did buddy really remove ALL that caulk bent over like that...? I've been following another channel that has standpipes above the water line at every thru-hull such that they can service them without hauling out...maybe you could too.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

No one is using respirators, that would increase the cost.

[@eddybalentien4263]

Hi james. What type of paint did you use on the hull? Is that paint available in Colombia?

Good morning, Mr. James. First of all, congratulations on the Zingaro update. P.S. Do you remember the day you bought it? well you just GIVE IT SUPERLATIVE VALUE. 🇺🇲⚓🇨🇺

[@tomhermens7698]

Blue is much nicer. Royal Blue!!! Aircon? Spray painting. Awlgrip i hope. Water leaching on rudder. No water inside the rudder?! At what they are charging, a new deck would have been cheap . Chainplates, SB PORT STERN BOW. Rigging screws, wires, etc. Check water tanks!!! Teak how many mill left? Major overhaul. Lifelines, solid tubes is great.

Can you please tell me where you do the work? Looks like they are very good technicians.

[@geoGELLER]

james the auto body repair guys go over the surface with a soft rag in the open palm of the hand to tell where the irregularities in the surface are - where ever you put bondo or epoxy it tends to shrink when drying too - also nice to see your baby standing and smiling too

James, I'm about to build an aluminum boat that has sprayed on insulation on the inside. I was wondering if it would be hotter inside the boat if I didn't paint it verses painting it white?

[@svthorasailing4868]

I’ve heard the spray insulation traps condensation and smells awful.

[@robertlaird6746]

@@svthorasailing4868 That, I am not sure about. It might when you scrap it off if you were ever to do a refit but with closed cell foam, I doubt that any moisture would get through the foam at all.

Use naval jelly for all the chrome, it will take all the rust off make it look new again.
