⛵️Our LAST SAIL for a while - FUTURE PLANS (I’m Scared) | Hallberg Rassy 352

[@sailingjoco]

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR PLANS????

[@danknox9986]

Removing the teak deck is a good idea. It will definitely be an adventure! Btw we have check in uniforms. We have clothes we in only wear to check in. Including a jacket with a yacht club logo. We have seen this do wonders. 😊. Of course not needed at the gas station!

[@sailingjoco]

Ohhhh it’s been a HUGE “adventure” so far hahahahha! That’s a great idea about the outfits - we saw Delos do this years ago. May try it out!

Regarding letting the propshaft free spin: Some transmissions are designed with an oil pump driven by the first motion shaft. In this design bearings are fed lubrication only when the engine is running. Other designs are splash oil lubed and are ok to free spin. Check your manual for manufacturer's instructions. Shaft motion without lubrication is never a good thing...

Thanks a lot Mike - this is great info and Jeff is going to look into this asap ! You made him go ‘hmmm!’ Multiple times haha ! I’m thinking we should do an episode where we hilight all the great tips & advice we have received from our viewers over the years …. 👌👌🤔🤔

[@jonunya3128]

those teak decks can leak a lot, lots of points of entry for water. but man that's a hard job. thanks for the video!

[@sailingjoco]

Exactly !! Well show you the condition of ours in the next episodes , it’s lived it’s life and then some !

Apparently GRP decks are an option from the yard. Teak is nice but a right pain and expensive to maintain. When it comes time to replace our 352's decks GRP is likely to be the preferred option but a few years off i hope. Check out A Boat Called Wanda a 352 converted to GRP decka, loads of good advice.

[@sailingjoco]

Thanks for the tip!! Yeah we’re in the HR Club Group on fb (tons of info on there) and know about Wanda very well! We will just be happy to have a fully sealed deck at the end of this - not the brightest idea to put 2000 screw holes in the deck originally hey! Lol

Teak looks nice but I would much rather have the confidence of a dry core over the looks of a teak deck. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@sailingjoco]

100%!!! It’s been quite the journey so far lol, get ready for it !!

[@briandale8386]

@@sailingjoco if the teak can be restored I’d do that . If the boat was in Annapolis it would sell teak or not . But if someday you want to put synthetic teak that has the color of weathered teak I’d just paint it for now and get the work done while you feel like doing it . I had a broker tell me teak is for rich guys . They just pay to have it replaced every ten years or so . Here’s my best advice . Take a heat gun, heat up the teak then pop it off where it stubbornly stuck . It sucks

[@sailingjoco]

Hahaha , not too far off ! Did we mention it’s HOTTTTTTTT HERE?!

9:07 can she surf like Annette Funicello🎉 pineapple princess

[@sailingjoco]

[@kenfordjulien]

Fix your boat in Grenada is cheap

[@sailingjoco]

Tons of boatyards there too for sure ! We’ve stuck in st Martin for the job tho. One day we’ll make it to Grenada !

[@carlcantrell4781]

What do I think of your plans? It is your life, live it the way you want to.

[@sailingjoco]

Lovely answer !

[@southernfriedkiwi7726]

Customs etc officials should be viewed the same as airport officials. You should be wearing proper clothing, when dealing with them. It's a common lapse with sailors, that they can get far too comfortable, dressing super casual, because it's hot and they have no A/C on anchorage. You should wear clothing like you were going to dine, on vacation at a place that has a dress code. It shows respect.

[@sailingjoco]

Yes as you may have heard in the episode, we def could have done better !

[@svsalserenity4375]

Yeah. never buy a boat with a teak deck , its for the rich and famous .

[@sailingjoco]

It’s beautiful but a looooot of work for sure! Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad , the good is HR !! Can’t go wrong with that haha.
