hey guys guess this would be our first

update we bought a boat yes what you did

it's a 1979 Lancer 36 it's it's pretty

wild we were here in Massachusetts on

the heart and we are in the end stages

of putting the boat together for the

season we had we had a boat survey and

he came back with 14 recommendations

things to do before setting sail for in

New York what would some of those 14

things be that we've been working on the

last month and a half let's see yeah

well we had to replace the steering

cable steering cable was a big project

big learning experience replaced with

stainless cable on it

it's the cable goes through the steering

pedestal down through pulleys through a

bulkhead and then to whatever is

connected to the rudder post some

variety of flywheel I'm gonna call it

just leaning over the whole time and

bruised up behind recognition took two

weekends we got it real happy with it

that was the one what else did we do

we replaced to sway jizan for the

standing rigging the portside lower and

the starboard side upper we replace

those with stay lock fittings and after

installing those I'm going stay all stay

lock they were fantastic real easy to

put in

they seem much mightier than your

standard swage yeah we had two of our

stanchions fix the Lakeland Sanchez's

re-welded it's a fine service up here in

the offseason I called a half a dozen

places for stainless welding and no we

don't do that call this guy we give them

a call now we don't do that call this

guy

screw it brought it back to New York had

him welded there $30.00 in total was

hell a lot better than just buy into new

stanchions that was another one yeah

some silly stuff like you just will be

putting you rode on we bought a new road

but we just needed to make it more

readily accessible usable the boat was

stored in whatever we did that we did

the the RO part of the boom topping lift

that was ten minute fix that was easy

we had to do the diesel exhaust hose

which we ended up hanging in there

paying somebody to do that I just

couldn't I'm too big to fit in that

little tiny hole I really tried I really

tried and I sacrificed on - well I'll

pay for that but that means more work in

the future I'll pay that yeah we the

boat survey revealed that the diesel

tank had a pinhole leak in it and there

was diesel in the reservoir holding the

tank so we actually negotiated that in

the price of the boat but overall I'd

say this is a pretty turnkey vessel

silly simple projects that are really

just time-consuming because boat lay out

more than complexity but we're getting

there we finding and waxing the hall I

really needed that we thought the boat

was actually white it's a tan it's a

thin color that was a that was a bit of

news to us so it was it was heavily

oxidized the boat was heavily oxidized

so we got remedying that now as we speak

as we're doing this tour well we're not

doing a tour actually this is the boats

filled with tools will do a full legit

tour of the boat so I'll just give you a

quick glimpse it's not your standard

layout it's it's uh there's no forward

bulkhead really it it's just open see

the kitchens to starboard we're sitting

forward and a pretty massive you call us

our v-berth I suppose but I mean we'll

sit eight comfortably up here for for

eating yeah you can see we're just four

just chock full of tools all kinds of

power tools an electrician you got two

berths aft there one at the nav station

one aft of the head which is behind this

wall you're looking at and then the the

companionway is huge I love that

companionway but it will take a little

full snapshot of the deck before we turn

the video off here but overall I mean

we're off to a good start here uh it's a

new chapter here so

what do you have to say just a few

things left I guess we got the old name

off the boat today we ordered the new

name so that will go on next week we

have to finish our waxing you know

replace the steaming light which we've

been putting off Beverly and we say

we'll do it this weekend like now it's

just not the right time you know so

that's gotta get done at some point we

got it we got to rig the boat up to get

ready to move I mean you can see we have

this out in my pan over there we got the

sails still down here down below I gotta

set up the boom bang and and put the

sails

yeah some cleaning bought cushions yes

the former owner Matt hello guy he still

has all the cushions at his house and

the Dodger in the bimini are there I

think he has a winch handle some various

odds odds and ends and

we're just two weeks away we're two

weeks away from putting around the onus

e-trial the motor is untested we have

$3,500 in escrow we negotiated that in

the deal with the boat to ensure that

there were no surprises during sea trial

I want a motor if it's a 36 foot boat

it's not like the little rainbow 24 we

were sailing on last year no motor no

electric no nothin just a fiberglass tub

with a couple of sails motor would do as

well

yeah we're just a couple of weeks from

that so I guess that's it for now we'll

do we'll clean it up do a full to full

tour of the boat maybe we'll get you

some footage of the sea trial we're

heading back to New York that's it

you
