hi there

we're on the heart and marina tropical

let me sum up the last seven days of

boat work for you all right so we're

perfecting our methods right now I've

got this chisel ready and we're scraping

off our barrier boat down to bare

fiberglass and at the moment these tools

seem to be the best that we have we have

an orbital sander we have a grinder but

we don't just don't have the right

attachments and mainly we need something

flexible that's not going to take divots

out of the hole so this is working and

so we're going with it we have had an

issue with our keel pushing up into the

boat and it's cracked where the ribs

connect to the stringers again is this

should we you know scrap this but we've

heard a lot of people say that this is

this is a disaster get out just throw

this boat in the junkyard you have major

structural problems and regardless of

how much work and effort and money you

put into it you won't come out on top

this is a never-ending money pit scale

of one to ten how big of a deal is this

scale of one to ten listen one less than

what's in one okay it's not a big issue

at all okay I'll uh fara scrapping the

boat boy I don't see any reason you

think we can sell in this boat for a

little bit longer for a lot longer

probably if you repainted Disney do what

you're doing I don't know how and fix

everything my show your sails and musket

concern around a well not a problem not

a problem and so keep the boats are

quite strong structurally and the

designers could tell you son a problem

as long as you make sure that you

worry about these things and fix them

when they okay keep an eye on everything

to make sure it's okay lots of other

things you need to check like your stern

bearings and your rudder bearings and

make sure that you're not worn out and

compass bearings and get your

maintenance up I'm gonna do no problem

okay you won't lose the strength in the

hole not in this hole I'm a fiberglass

boats different story but for this boat

for these series about the way they'll

built the way that is on will not lose

more than about 10 to 14 percent of

their initial strength and the hoes have

built anyway I've built a race and you

know I'm gonna race it don't back it up

and it should be alright I heard you

were a naval architect correct a naval

architect is a professional engineer who

is responsible for the design

construction and repair of ships boats

other marine vessels and offshore

structures both civil and military

including merchant ships boiled gas

tankers cargo ships cruise or liners etc

people actually paid you to survey their

boats yes I registered ship right so

you're a registered in Australia but I

do not do commercial work I need to

maybe work and go where your new

commercial ro it's a lesser

qualification than what I have but the

most important thing I have is when a

man wants or a woman or a couple want to

go by boat they're falling in love with

it

this is that dream they sit at night and

drink coffee

ramen River in the dreamer how their

life is going to be sailing away to the

Caribbean on this beautiful boat but the

broker sits here thinking wow I can send

my Sunday University I can do this I can

do this and the other things she says

I'm glad I got rid of that piece of

shoot I'm happy now so when when they

should they come to you in the morning

everybody shakes your hand and they want

a squid story if she's selling hey you

got osmosis reduce hole hey you've got

killed by a falling off the bracket

hates you forever

Cynthia Syl I hate you forever Clint the

buyer hate you forever

everybody's broken dreams so I don't

like it

intelligent and that's it how many boats

do you think if you just off the top of

your head have you surveyed rough number

by ten a hundred hundreds hundreds of

boats see five hundred hundreds of boats

okay hundred chicken hundreds and big

ones small ones chips

you were saying you wouldn't necessarily

worry about a putting it in the water to

level it out or be trying to figure out

a way to prop it up it might help but it

doesn't seem as though you're saying

it's it's a must that we absolutely need

to do that before moving forward with

this no I don't think so I can't see any

stress-related fractures when it was

explained to me I thought your problem

is much more serious than what it is it

was something that I understood they

opened up recently always new again hmm

it was an old repair that had opened up

right which indicated to me that you had

some stress something in you and there's

no stress here this stress this is a

wall there's nothing new here there's no

sign that water's come in anywhere as I

said you'd see it in a fire station

there song anyway it's not so it's not

leaking any water there's nothing that

goes through the hole there's no stress

cracks here or on the outside I had a

good look and saw it the first day and

there's no stress great so you've got no

movement in the fiberglass

that's what that's what that's just

gonna be amazing this one it's a full

skill that is a true peel that I would

almost be certain it's a result are you

going

not you but someone in this boat having

gone background okay set on the bottom

okay I'm pump pump okay

almost I've seen that many many times

that you're not related to that there's

no longer to ignore connection between

them in except a tongue-and-groove on

the back of your keel right so for that

to crack there no no no it's not

connected do two different things if

this was a problem you'd see it with a

glass turn underneath to crack the glass

underneath when they lifted it no no no

sometimes if you look underneath now

you'll see you'll see no you'll see no

long crack okay sorry

what they did is they put that they

realize the teams and these want ominous

racing it's in their quirky you have to

steer a very ancient away so what they

do is they put the keel on the back to

give them more where they call lateral

resistance also it helps for the sinner

and if it center of effort is you draw

the boat and you put the mast and you

put the sails in you put where that with

the balance of that is and then you look

at your keel and you put your balance of

that and that gives you your efforts and

the electoral resistances what moves

always and so by adding the fourth keel

not that made it easy to Steve while

making the keel a little bit longer okay

a little bit slower downwind but you

wouldn't notice though but when you're

looking for writing these were rated as

a one-ton are under Ohio are mark to or

mark 3 io r means International offshore

rule which is that rule that all boats

used to measure

so they measure the boats and they see

so this boat also is failing the floors

and comes up quickly I'm still in being

around right that's a rating quirk I've

gotta give it a better rating so you can

actually get a faster poem for the same

measurement size they've cut a piece of

plywood to suit shaped it slipped it in

the back of the queue glass then glass

it along the hall but when a glass along

the hall that would push it a little bit

further over into the keel but not far

okay until I saw it's held on port side

on the starboard side by a layer of

glass and it's held down the leading

edge okay wanna kill okay okay ah there

is nothing to connect through an

engineering forces that do that where is

it it's not there what you'd expect is

that when you run aground in a boat you

crack the front not necessarily - that's

the time the frames crack at the back

exam where most of the weight of the

boat is not there the way is stiffness

bar it up he's simple he had a piece of

quarter inch stainless step and that's

okay be in that long that white up now

all of you three one six tonus drill a

hole through for your sights you want to

m10 at least okay

depends on how many you put in you know

whether you put in 12 to put less if you

put can't you put more countersink the

hole up around the hole 11 I'm saying is

it's this case screw through countersunk

screw that way when you got it it'll be

flush there are places in this country

themselves countersink screws you want

to go down probably

that's all - with the screen okay and

you probably want about two and a half

inches now possibly three inches yeah I

got to fire coming out of one okay and

you could also consider one here that

there appears to be a hole in the

fiberglass on the side of the keel if it

was indeed leaking something what I was

coming through the bilge pump red one

but more importantly you did leave

assault assault crustacean there okay so

you'd see it visibly just be a white

thing and you say that once a filler one

mm-hmm someone's trying to fill

something here but I'd say definitely

get a beat socket and a big shifter and

big bar cart in these cool ones taking

these down okay or you never been done

but this is where you want the owner

Paul writes on okay hello all that

removing and also pull them both

together

okay you that's correct your weakness

it's not coming in the way just since it

approves apart okay sorry

this will hold that to this and it'll

help okay

[Music]

this week we also got to tour a 75-foot

three-masted schooner and met the family

who owns and operates this all steel

vessel be sure to subscribe and be on

the lookout for this boat tour coming

soon whoa here's the engineer in life

and stay tuned for the continuing story

of Bo AB these are the tales of Voe AB
