Hey guys!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ✨ We just would like to clarify the epoxy caulking situation. We understand why so many of you are concerned about it. We know that epoxy is hard and wouldn’t be ideal for caulking.. but the one we are using is called MEC 5000 from TecPox and it’s specially made for caulking as it stays flexible. We are very happy about the outcome of it and we believe it will work properly.. so we shouldn’t worry! Thanks to everyone who brought it up thinking of our own good, we really appreciate yours suggestions! Xx Ben & MP

I am glad you have finally addressed the deck drainage problem. However, I am not convinced a few little holes will be enough. If you take waves splashing over in heavy seas you could have loads of water there. Even with heavy rain, the size of the roof and deck areas could collect a lot of water. And I mean a lot. The board is maybe only 2" thick, but the area it contains is large. That water needs to be drained off rapidly, otherwise it will find ways to seep through and cause loads of damage, as happened to Yabá before. No matter how well it is caulked, if water is collecting on deck, especially with the movement of a wooden ship, water will find a way through.

What's often done on bigger ships like yours and mine is to drain the water from the deck into a sink, lead it inside the boat in a hose to a through hull just above the water line. The benefit is that you don't have that algae growth and that dirt lines where the water is drained outside of the hull.

Use a drill bit the same size of the hole and then just shove some epoxy into the hole and run the bit in and out a few times. The hole will protect the epoxy from UV damage and coat the wood inside. Much cheaper than using anything else. Should protect the wood for a very long time.
@Davidcallard3 жыл бұрын
I agree with Edward Cassel about epoxy. However you get it in the hole a liberal coating will protect the wood for many years to come. You might try a length of dowel or similar with a big blob of cotton wool on the end. Soak the cotton with epoxy and go to it!

Also the continuous horizontal wood members at the bottom (and top) of the stud framed walls are generally called ‘bottom plates’ if at the bottom of the stud framed walls and ‘top plates’ if at the top of the stud framed walls. Keep up the great work and all the best!

Maybe it's a tradition in boats built in this part of the world, but I don't think I've seen a boat in North America that has the deck 2-3" lower than the covering boards and waterway. Up here the deck is flush and scuppers are cut in the bulwarks to allow drainage. On several schooners I've sailed there are several normal scuppers typically 4-6" tall and 6-8" long (open scuppers) and one very large scupper at the break deck that's around 8" tall and 24" long with a hinged cover that swings out and open if a large amount of water from a wave or cloudburst comes down the deck.

Hola Ben y MP, les está quedando espectacular el Yabá felicitaciones!. Solo quisiera trasmitirles que para las maderas de la borda, no para la cubierta, les diría que si barnizan lo hagan a pincel o brocha primero. De la siguiente forma: 1 primera nano 60% barniz y 40 de solvents (el que usen), 2 segunda mano 80% barniz y 20 solvente, 3 90% barniz y 10 solvente. Entre manos siempre lijar suavemente para cortar los pelos que se levantan de la madera. Así lograrán un acabado super brillante y protegerán la madera con una capa importante de barniz. Otra más darle solvente mezclado con aceite de lindaza o lino 50/50 y luego empezar con el barniz. Esto último hace que la madera no se pudra ya que es madera virgen. El rodillo es muy práctico pero la capa que genera es demasiado fina, más para una embarcación. Obviamente es un consejo, uds. deciden. Saludos de Uruguay
