soon we'll see

what it's about

[Music]

hi everyone i'm tony this is espitabatio

we are building a cruising cell but 32

foot

cruising sailboat um junk rigged

schooner

which means two mast two sails um and

it's in process

and it's summer and and trying to use

this good weather that we've got now for

getting paint and varnish on and that

really has been what this week has been

about to a large extent that started off

in the

in the four peak um getting up in there

got that now completely vanished out the

wood trim the mahogany trim

throughout the four feet shelves both

sides and trim all around

um six coats of upper fans on that looks

great i think

and here's a bit here's a clip a bit of

varnish yoga

[Music]

next thing was to finish off this

lazerette hatch which you can see in

position it's it's

only laid in position but but it's there

vanished up finely shaped all done

finished we're going to have two hinges

on the aft end of it

located in position it'll hinge like

this

and there'll be a catch there'll be a

catch at

this front end probably with a screw on

it that keeps it

shut down so no danger of it flying open

i don't want it to um yeah but that's in

position i've got the hinges i don't

think i've got the catch i must look

through my box of bits and bobs but

we've got the hinges

fitness and that'd be exciting looks

nice

and more finishing or moving towards

finishing

not only the fall peak but the entire

inner cabin has been

given a final clean up and as we stand

all of the wood trim has one coat of

varnish on it

i've got a few more coats start to go

but

it's in progress i should try to get

another one on today

and it's already looking quite glossy

nice improvement yeah i'll stand out the

way

it's getting a bit of gloss about it

from one coat that's amazing

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

so

so we're in here by the sliding hatch

and this is a major thing

i've been varnishing it for a while

because you've got a bunch underneath

and the top it's

nearly finished maybe one or two coats

still on the top the underneath

is finished and i've got the acrylic

glass in the two panels so that's 10

millimeter thick acrylic

i've glued it in with ct1

yes

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

so

yes

okay

now

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

oh

so

[Applause]

ct1 which is this stuff here i'll hold

that up to the camera

claims to be incredible over here

started on the washboards got some

varnish on

a coat or a couple of coats of varnish

painting the panels out

let's see that is the outside so that

one this side will be

white and i should do this with epoxy

primer and white

this side undercoat here will be the

sort of off-white that the inside is so

that matches the outside and that

matches the inside

it's if you can imagine it's a

ridiculous lot of paint

that regular undercoat and then the

gloss

varnish obviously this side epoxy primer

and then the the polyurethane two part

white paint so but

silly you know they're not a big part

but it takes a long time to finish

something like that

finished but not finished and you'll

remember

a few weeks ago hazel went off on an

adventure with a boat

and uh get a little bit of an issue with

our anchor board

they're quite keen on doing things

properly in this part of the world

and uh banker ball is something you're

supposed to fly when you're anchored

during daylight hours you know and

you know so she bought langer ball and

flew it indeed when she was anchored but

um

the she put it up on a flag line and uh

it broke the flag line which

unfortunately then the anchor ball then

got twisted around

um some lines

up at the top of the mast she pulled up

quite high

and got twisted around and she couldn't

get it down again so she ended up coming

back

to her homeport with the anger ball up

and we went up last weekend didn't we

last weekend

and go over a hand to get it down which

was fun

all the time you're happy they just rest

when you feel like it

yeah i can see the progress you're doing

well

that's it for this week finishing but

not finished

a lot more finishing to do and it needs

to be done in this in this lovely

summer dry summer weather so next few

weeks i'll be pushing on the finishing

i've got various deck fittings laid

around on the deck to put in i've got

some

some fairleads to go in the ball work so

i've got cleats to go on i've got

cockpit drains to fit um so hopefully

we'll be getting on some of that next

week

and a lot more finishing at the same
