Instrument Screen Replacement + Boat Name Announcement

[@stuartmcmichael5250]

Another European watching from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Great videos, you have a very nice temperament on camera of getting information across. And I was moved with your messages of condolence to the poor man who lost his dear wife to cancer at 46yrs. My dear wife similarly passed away 2yrs ago at 60 and I miss her dearly. Watching these videos takes me back to our days of sailing around the islands of the west of Scotland. Good luck to you and may you always get favourable winds for your adventures.⛵️

A "no nonsense", "shut up and do it", "there are no problems only solutions" type of a guy who follows his passion... I like him already:-)!

[@humlakullen]

@Chase Marlon I bet u r real proud...

[@zippy1911]

A teak plank over the area with cut outs for the displays and use the holes already in the glass for the cables would of been another option and would of left a nice piece of oiled teak "bling" for mounting the required beer holder!

Another inspirational video as we'll tackle a similar instrument refit, cut and fill, this spring (2021)!

sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Elisha Pablo Instablaster :)

[@elishapablo1786]

@Major Beckett Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@elishapablo1786]

@Major Beckett it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@majorbeckett7389]

@Elisha Pablo You are welcome =)

Hey there! Europe is watching your vlog: from 🇵🇹Portugal! Greetings and keep up the good work! Not easy though, doing it alone!⛵️👍

[@jackagarwal5423]

Love your videos Josh! You've inspired me to vlog my own sailboat journey!

[@onthebeaches]

Another GREEEEAT video by the AMAZING JOSH!!! WOW! Perrrrrrrfect job my friend. You should be proud to show off those gauges! If I wasn't planning my own voyage I would definitely support you through Patreon. Super excited to see the next vid! PEACE OUT! Ü

Kitchen foil, clean down the area, cut and wet your glass ON a square of foil, smooth the foil onto your repair area, no brush required, once cured you can sand off the foil if you feel it's needed.

Another very informative and entertaining video. I like the new name of the boat "Giraffe" Greetings from Berlin.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks!

[@madworld8716]

Cool unique name I like it 👍😊

[@LaredoHandyman]

Great vids. I would have made a stainless panel to cover the old hole and be a back drop for the new electronics. Maybe add a clock or something else on the right side.

[@twiper]

You can paint the area arount the instruments with a matching gelcoat, just brush it on and sand it smooth afterwards. Remember to add wax (paraffin) to the mix so you get a hard topcoat.

[@royramdeen8864]

Well Josh, a star is born. I christen thy SV Giraffe. This is going to be fun vlog. Go Navy seal.. :-)

[@eliasjemtren2224]

Great video! Will be interesting to follow your journey, watching from Sweden:)

[@thejourneyofmalu3495]

Hey Josh, love the name. I’ve been a subscriber now for a while but just noticed as you added the graphics to your boat that your from Newport Beach. I’m from Dana Point and my brother lives in Newport on the peninsula. I learned to sail at Newport Dunes when I was a kid many many years ago. I’m leaving this week for Corpus Christi to move aboard my newest boat, a Mason 43’. Hoping to begin my solo trip around the world next spring. Keep up the good work. Wish I had time to come and visit you but maybe our paths will cross someday.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

That's awesome! The boat is actually in Annapolis right now but going to sail her to Newport Beach this winter. I was in Newport Beach all this week (my fiancé lives there). Heading back to Annapolis now (I'm literally at the airport) to prep the boat for the big voyage. Thanks for the comment! I've sailed out of Dana Point once. It's a cool spot.

[@thejourneyofmalu3495]

Josh Post well maybe our paths will cross somewhere in the Caribbean. Safe travels

[@neptunesfancy]

Every boat should be nick named “rusty” Great Channel Go navy! Good audio and content prep. S/V Venceremos, out of San Diego Cu in Cali C u in Cali

[@richardanderson4916]

Wouldn't it be interesting if you could mount a giraffe head on top of the mast? Maybe double as a wind vane

[@allanlarsson3005]

Love your Channel, Watching from Denmark. 👍🏻🎃

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thank you! Or shall I say, Tak for dine venlige ord! 😀⛵👍

[@CraigOverend]

Methinks Giraffe now needs a toy Giraffe for a mascot and cameos. :) 🦒

[@JoshPostVlogs]

I never knew there was a Giraffe emoji! That's great! 😁🦒🦒

[@nomadequipment2177]

I agree!🙂

[@CarlosGonzalez-rg6ht]

I fully understand your feeling before cutting on the fiberglass... the result is Rea;ly good though. The best for Giraffe right?

[@DonHarden]

Where did you order your name decals from?

[@maacseffort]

Liked before watching as always. Great video! Did you fill in the last hole with body filler or something similar or is it hollow with a top layer of fibreglass now? Looked like a great repair - not a lot of people take the time to do things right.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks for the comment. I put about 8 layers of fiberglass in the hole (about 2 layers per day over the course of a week). I then filled the rest of the hole with epoxy filler (colloidal silica).

[@maacseffort]

Josh Post Cool. Wasn’t sure if that was doable with the fibreglass mesh being so thin, but that’s awesome. Look forward to the “maiden voyage”!

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Yes, the fiberglass is thin. I probably filled about 1/3 of the hole with fiberglass and the rest with the filler. If I did it again, I'd use a fairing filler with the epoxy. The colloidal silica is too tough to sand down.

[@maritimetees2315]

Newport Beach is a hint? Lol Should have considered Channel Islands or Ventura area where the winds and Islands are a great place for a channel.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Yes. My fiancé lives in Newport Beach. That's where I'm headed. I hope to make trips to Channel Islands and Catalina on the boat.

[@maritimetees2315]

That is awesome. I sail in the Channel Islands area. Out quite a bit. 2 to 3 times a week. Newport is beautiful except the winds stink, very light. At least your out where you can sail year around. My good friend is a Navy Commander and a sailor. Tuned him into your channel. He should be stationed at Port Hueneme until he retires soon.

[@WhoDatAficionado]

Why did t you add white to t to the Fiberglass

[@nomadequipment2177]

I'm looking forward to gutting my boat's electrics🤣 think I'll just rip it all out at once and avoid rat's nest bs

[@gunsmoke6230]

Giraffe will sell lots of gear to kids smart........
