I had only 30 days to restore this old Sailboat on a tight budget. Beneteau evasion 32 Pilothouse.

[@jbsanger696]

Wow.. Great work!... You completed so much work in. Those 30 days.. Thank you for sharing

[@reversingentropy]

Tank you. Cheers.😁

[@fernandobotion]

Thanks for these videos. I've got an Evasion 32 that desperely needs new windows,, and I if you stay in Parque das Nações, we'll most likely be neighbors.

[@reversingentropy]

Sure no problem. You do ? Where is it? Yes im at parque das nações. Cheers

[@Anashadk]

Thanks for the time you took to make a video, I will soon have a lot of time on my hands (pension) so I am considering doing something similar.

[@reversingentropy]

Dude. Do it... Just do it, its well worth it. But don't be that Guy on the hard for 2 or 3 years, give your self a time limit and Stick to it. Things don't need to be perfect if they're are not for Instagram. Have fun. Hope to meet you at an anchorage. Cheers mate.

[@Rubinho1977]

Nice work and Well done. We had one during 16years and had very good mémories of this boat 😀

[@reversingentropy]

We are enjoying it now. Thanks for the kind words.

[@sailingstardreamer]

Stunning looking boat I’m looking at one this week. Anything I should look for. Thanks Steve

[@reversingentropy]

Dude, sooo much yo lock for lol decks have plywood, make sure its dry. Make sure the baby stay did not delaminate the Deck its a week point. Then check sails engine standing rigging Window frames. Remove the rubber on the window frames to check for corrosion. Check for osmosis, check the prop and the anodes... See if price is fair. Etc, hope this helps a little bit

[@SailingAndInvesting]

The style of your videos are very similar to mine. Enjoy the project!. I personally like th darker coated side.

[@paulstalker4186]

I'm in the middle of a Beneteau 26 refit, same window frames and the same horrible stuck on foam backed vinyl. Yours looks much better without it. Enjoyed the video, thanks

[@reversingentropy]

Cheers. Good luck with your renovation 💪

[@kevinmartin3859]

A lovely job of the Inside of the boat

[@reversingentropy]

Cheers m8. Thank you so much 😁

[@aaronwalker3398]

You kick butt on that project I've been working a year and haven't got that much done on my 28 ft Santana if you get bored look up Santana 28 restoration and sailing I'm just getting started

[@reversingentropy]

Thanks mate. I will check it out. Cheers

Great channel name

[@reversingentropy]

Thanks 🙏 cheers mate.

[@vadimzavershinskiy9312]

Great channel! We are almost at the point you've started this video. Together with my friend, we are deciding to start the restoration of Evasion 32 in a similar condition. So we have a lot of questions, and it would be great if you can give us a tip or hint) How much does it cost to bring a boat from the initial state to 30 days state? How much to start sailing? Were the engine and masts ok? What pain points should we check before buying and starting work? What is the proven order of repair in your opinion? PS I feel that I'll find some answers in other videos and comments, but excited about the opportunity to ask you and get in touch.

[@reversingentropy]

First of all good luck, and dont get caught on the forever refitting stage. My masts wore in good order and the sais wore ok. The engine needed service but was ok too. I used mostly top gelcoat as Paint. Its super strong and cures very fast allowing you to move on. I also covered a bunch of surface with adhesive wrap. The woods i took al varnish off and used teak oil. Good luck with your project. Where are you doing this ? Maybe we will meet in the water some day.

[@arthurmarkham8621]

Just bought an evasion 32! This is huge inspiration for me, can you send me a link to exact paint for the 2 part Epoxy paint?

[@reversingentropy]

I bought it in a local store, i have no link sorry. Good luck on your refit. Cheers 🍻

[@tmb9126]

Thank you for sharing this! I would love to do this! Thank you for the inspiration, the info, and the modesty. So many channels I just pass up because I just cannot take all the vanity. I just want to know about your boat, not about what a rockstar you are! lol I love that white epoxy - so much better to just leave it like that. It looks more like a boat that way! Beautiful work you have done! Blessings to you and yours and happy sailing! oh, p.s. may I ask, please, what size sailboat this is (I apologize if I have not heard you mention it yet, I'm still watching the video) and if any boat trailer will work with a sailboat as long as it's the same length? Total newbie here, obviously. Thank you again and blessings!

[@reversingentropy]

Thanks so much... The boat is a beneteau evasion 32. I don't think it's trailer friendly. As it weighs almost 10 tons. However newer more modern boat designs are Much much lighter. Hope this helps. Cheers.

[@reversingentropy]

@@obxarms7685 nice to know. But could you state the units as well 😅 i mean kg or lb cheers 🙏

[@obxarms7685]

@@reversingentropy Lbs..haha My bad.

[@Callme_Sim]

Thank you for the amazing ideas! Roughly what measurements are your boat? And are you Portuguese?????

[@reversingentropy]

Yes I am. The vessel is a evasion 32 from benetou, its 10m by 3m 1.4 draft.

[@Callme_Sim]

@@reversingentropy Oh amazing, so am I! And what paint did you use, I’m really struggling to find a suitable one

[@reversingentropy]

@@Callme_Sim resina de poliéster ortoftalica. Ha uma loja que vende esse tipo de material na margem sul. Luis resinas ou algo do gênero. Nao me recordo o nome

[@nigelwhybrow9257]

How did you get the glue of as that’s possibly the worst job of all

[@reversingentropy]

Yes it sucked. I scrapped the bigger flakes and sanded the rest with orbital sander.

[@chronoboat11]

Dude, as you say, you have 30 days to work on it????? DO THE NEEDED STUFF FIRST!!!! If you need to get it out and into the water, then do the bottom first. Then put it in the water, then work on the inside

[@reversingentropy]

It all worked out in the end. By the way im doing it again. On a colvic victor 40. Lol

[@obxarms7685]

OMG!! Wow....Your really kicked ass on that boat!! Did you replace the scrub rails?? If you ever decide to do an autopilot the Raymarine EV-100 Wheel pilot fits on that wheel perfectly. You just have to sink the motor cylinder into the wood console at about 3 oclock from the wheel. Wait, you already did one! Damn you are fast!

[@reversingentropy]

Lool. Thanks so much. Hey phsst im doing another one. This time a colvic victor 40, video on it soon 😁
