Double Sided Fibreglass Repair - Part 1(S2 E46 Barefoot Sail and Dive)

In this episode of Barefoot Sail and Dive we start to fibreglass a double sided repair. The section on the starboard hull was damaged when we came out of the water. Before we got the peeler Davy had used the grinder and accidentally gone through the hull as he was chasing a crack. The Gelcoat Peeler Pro makes this job so much easier!
If you are interested in the Gelpeel Pro head over to this website for more information:

We will be doing to second part of this repair from the inside, but in order to do that we will have to tear apart our bedroom.

I have read about this type of repair but it is so fantastic to watch it actually in process. Thanks so much for the wonderful teaching.

Wow! You’re getting there!! In no time you’ll be sailing!!

[Mylifelovingit]

Brilliant repairs!! I love how your boat is slowly starting to come together.

This has become my favorite channel and I watch a lot of sailing/boat work channels! Super nice that you make 2 videos a week! Hopefully you’re subscribed numbers go up drastically!

Glass repairs of this nature should start with the largest size patch of glass fiber first working layer by layer to the smallest patch thus the first layer having the largest possible surface contact area.Think of the repair as a scarf joint and you will see the logic.

Awesome job guys! I wish there was a gel peeler back in my boat work days.

[FTATF]

Nice job keeping your wits about you and shutting that thing off when you lost power.

Hey guys, thanks for the video today. I’m climbing the walls in that weird “between Xmas and New Year” period, getting angry with Fat Boris and wondering what to do to keep myself entertained. Then your video popped up and saved me for a few mins. Cheers 👍. Happy New Year

Looking good. You’re doing a hull of a job there. Time to move onto Steve’s osmosis treatment. That peeler is doing a great job, and the teeth seem to be lasting quite well. They are 4 sided? I tell ya. It’s not every woman who’d let their man spend hours on end with a peeler!😉
Great job guys. Have a Happy New Year

Keeping it real mate. Love the content.

Beautiful flying RD flag on the back. Amazing work sir. I just did some repairs on my boat and I must admit the gelcoat peeler made me a bit jealous.😅

300 / 10 * 3, 4 = (90 + 12 = 102ml) . . . i love it - be prepared for the new year

Botchy. But may keep floating. Your quite the formula guru. How ever I would estimate UNACCURATE. Your feathering is a mere guess. Syhster is the result of what comes to mind. Oh n luv😍 the missus more n more each episode.
Carry on.💋

This is great. My wife and I planning on getting a Lagoon 440 or Leopard 45 and I am watching your fiberglass work and loving the education. I would recommend you check out Free Range Sailing 's channel as well. He has some amazing (to me at least) fiberglass boat techniques, albeit on a smaller mono-hull. I love how he makes custom fiberglass mount bases for the deck gear. Check that out.

I'm not very sensitive to the glass and use the tape trick as well. I have seen others suggest coating your arms with some talcum powder before sanding, but never tried it.

Excuse the pun Dave but CRACK on .... Sorry just having a HOLE lot of fun ...
