WORKING WITH COMPOSITES | Paikea's Transom Extension

[@av4037]

Saluted you yesterday while you were entering Valencia port and checking the party going on at Veles et Vents!. That's what happens when you have a worldwide audience!

[@youngbarnacles]

Sweet! Was it you Shayne was waving to?

[@av4037]

@@youngbarnacles yes! Appreciated he did so!

[@sailingwiththejamess]

Very neat camera angle at 02:16! Fiberglassing work is looking great!

[@greatnorthern3481]

Great job can’t wait for the finished look

[@AntoineGrondin]

Where did y'all go! Need more hardcore composite DIY on the water!

[@youngbarnacles]

We're still here lol. Working on other people's boats. Gotta earn a living somehow 😁 We'll put some more stuff soon we promise

[@pironiero]

@@youngbarnacles hope everything is well

[@vitoryuji6516]

Can you Shane make a video about graphite/grafene bottom paint? As an anti fouling and able to reduce friction on water

[@mosca3289]

Piece by piece it’s gonna be a new boat. Nice 👍🏻

[@charlesmcdonald5465]

flight of the concord’s? Lol! Will you guys please post more!

[@sdflyr]

It looks like you did not put an aft bulkhead on that extension. Is the aft only fiberglass (monolithic) laminate?

[@youngbarnacles]

There was no need for an additional aft bulkhead because we did not extend the waterline. The extension only squared up the aft transom to make a step/swimming platform. Paikea's structure is foam core with glass and this is why we did the repair with foam and glass. The old transom that we removed (the piece you see being cut out) was monolithic.

[@sdflyr]

@@youngbarnacles that is very interesting to know about the original design. Thanks for sharing. Your video is really good.

[@youngbarnacles]

You're welcome

[@kevinkurka8020]

So how did you get the foam curved just right to line up perfectly?

[@youngbarnacles]

It was heated and bent to shape

[@julesmoto9022]

So what is the point of these extensions? They don't seem to extend the waterline much?

[@youngbarnacles]

No it's not a waterline extension. Boat length remains the same. We wanted a step for easy access from water and dinghy onto the boat. The previous arrangement was terrible

[@vokstar]

How frustrating would it be to leave a tool in that void and glass it in

[@youngbarnacles]

😂 now where did I put my......oh wait I remember where I was using it last....🥴

[@pironiero]

blast from the past?

[@youngbarnacles]

Yeah. Putting some resources together and thought I may as well make it public.

[@pironiero]

@@youngbarnacles good man

[@richardhoughton9139]

You make it all look so easy yet I know for a fact it isn’t. If you were in SE Asia I would ask you to work on my boat as much as anything because I want to learn from you. For me you make the best videos on the internet 🙏

[@youngbarnacles]

There's a lot of thinking and designing that goes into every job before I touch any tools. Stoked to hear you like the videos.
