How exciting to watch! I just went through this. I totally refurbished my mast. My sheaves were from Zephyr, my rigging is synthetic from Colligo. I replace all my winches with Lewmar EVOs. I did have my mast scraped, primed, and epoxy coated in white. Also - brand new mast step, mine is keel stepped though. And, last but not least, a brand new ProFurl furler. Love to see others who went the same path...

In 2001 I sailed on my first Cheoy Lee Desperado a 47 ft Richardson design out of Oxnard not sure if the boat is still there. The owner I sailed with sold it due to illness. We sailed to Mexico and the Newport Ensenada race also sailed a few times to Catalina and I fell in love with the boat. I live in Chicago and found a 1977 Richardson 41 offshore very similar to yours in 2004 I have an in mast roller Furler , A baby stay for a staysail and unfortunately teak decks. I’ve done extensive work including replacing the Perkins 4-108 engine replaced all the headliner installed an electric head and recently got rid of the old data marine gauges and replace them with new modern Garmin instruments. I just found your channel a couple days ago and I’m going through the entire series. One thing I don’t know if you are aware of is that the chain plates in Cheoy Lee’s are notoriously precarious. Be sure to check the chain plates and the chain plate knee that attaches to the hull. I love the work you’ve done so far but I’m only a few episodes in best of luck. Captain Conrad

Ahoy Conrad! Desperado is still around; her owners just finished a massive refit and she looks lovely. you found us! Yes, the chainplates were some of the first things we replaced. I actually wrote a handful of articles that will be published in Cruising World, Latitude 38, and Good Old Boat regarding the importance of inspecting and replacing your chainplates. Ours were in poor shape.

Hi Guys really enjoyed your video. In January I pulled my mast for the second time in 3 years. This time because just like you my sheaves had frozen. All my efforts up the mast were unable to free them so it had to come down, like you I replaced mine with Delrin and couldn’t be happier with my smooth running halyards! I have corrosion under my paint on the mast but I was not up for tackling that big job this time. After seeing you guys I will have enough confidence in taking it on in perhaps 3 years when I have to pull the mast for something else. By then we will know how your treatment of the aluminum worked. My only suggestion about the video quality would be to work on your sound pickup as it was a little difficult to hear some of your dialogue on the dock. Thanks so much! Ben S/V DAWN

I like the liberal application of Tef-Gel, but you have your corrosion terms a little confused. You kept saying 'crevice corrosion', but what you are preventing with isolators between dissimilar metals is 'Galvanic Corrosion'. Crevice Corrosion does happen to stainless steel, but that is caused by oxygen starvation along with water, it is not a result of dissimilar metals. Crevice Corrosion is what happens inside the strands of your 1x19 wire rigging when water eventually penetrates between the strands. When you see swage fittings swell and eventually crack is also because of Crevice Corrosion. Again, oxygen starvation of the chain plates where they enter the deck causes crevice corrosion that leads to failure.
@sailingavocet2 жыл бұрын
Hey Luke! Thanks for watching and chiming in. Check out our website for a better explanation as I believe we used both terms in this episode at the appropriate times - When two different metals create a tight crevice, both crevice and galvanic corrosion can potentially occur. A lot of our galvanic corrosion on Avocet lead to crevice corrosion which was nasty all around. We also have a couple published pieces in Cruising World, Latitude 38 Good Old Boat regarding the subject matter that you may find fascinating as this project is over 6 months old - we have had lots of time to write! Thanks again for the insightful Q... always appreciated. Fair winds!

@@sailingavocet I tried to read your articles, they link to "Foolproof Focaccia", at least the Good Old Boat article about the Bulwarks and your research on mast painting in Latitude 38 links go there, some of the other links work to unrelated articles. Anyway, I'm sorry to be a pain but you literally didn't use the term 'Galvanic Corrosion' once in the entire video. Also, your Rigger keeps calling Dyneema an 'Aramid'... it's not. Aramid is what Kevlar (trade name) is , Dyneema is UHMW plastic, so not even close. He says aramid while you show pics of Dyneema, but I know he meant Dyneema because he said Aramid again and that you splice it... you do not splice Aramid rigging, it's unidirectional fibers that use an incredibly similar fitting to Hi-Mods for termination. Sorry if I'm a stickler for details, but there is way too much bad info on boat forums and in KZbin videos. I dunno, maybe I shouldn't bother helping, all the bad info out there is what keeps me busy going up masts to fix the mistakes of others.

You should have bead blasted the surface and then cleaned it with Alumiprep/acid wash. After you acid wash it any remaining corrosion will turn black, then it needs to be sanded/bead blasted more until it doesn’t turn black any more. There is so much corrosion still on your mast, it will keep growing even with the top coating you applied.
