    Your story is a inspiration to all us landlubbers ,im retiring soon at age sixty while im still young enough to be able to do things .One of those things is to buy and attempt to renovate an old crusing yacht and be like toad of Toad Hall mucking about in boats ....time will telll.

      Hi Patrick. Thanks for writing. We are only a few years apart in age. I do live by the statement that it is better to regret something you have done than to regret something you did´nt do. I dont jump out of planes but I have other passions, like this Fisher boat. I think you should do things while you can and renovate an old cruising yacht (and be like Toad). Prep well with knowledge and map possibilities (and limitations) prior to buying the yacht. And remember: small is beautiful. Big boats=big problems=loads of costs and worries. Go, go, go Patrick! YOLO :-)

    Hi Helge. Great to see another video which was obviously filmed with fun in mind :) Nice camera work too, in that it's steady and aimed at the correct place, and well edited.
    It's easy to 'assume' that content makers who do not have English as their first language also do not have a sense of humour, but it's good to see at 8:17 that you do.

  • @earlhughes873
    @earlhughes873 Год назад +2

    One way to deal with the destroyed Philips head screws is to use a hobby grinder (Dremel tool in the US) with a cut-off wheel to cut straight slots in the bad screws. You can then use a straight screwdriver to get the screws out. This works well for situations where you must preserve the materials instead of beating and prying them apart.

    • @hsobstad
      @hsobstad  Год назад +1

      Thanks for your advice, Earl. I actually have a Dremel.
      In this instance I would´nt spend time on it as I will replace the old external diesel-filter with a new Racor filter, and the wood on the engine mount will be removed. So all good :-)

And tell us more about your French boat! Love that style of boat. On my boat The teak was in which bad shape I actually ran it thru a planner to clean it up. Then I used West system epoxy for base coats followed by Epifanes varnish for top coats. Really worked great! Looking forward to your next video!

    • @hsobstad
      @hsobstad  Год назад

      Hello Bradley. Great to read that you are enjoying your Tresfjord 28.
      The workshop is a hired help as I dont have the tools to refurbish the teak. If we dont succeed in getting new teak for a reasonably price I will go for the full refurbishment, even though the teak will end up slightly thin. Due to the weather - lots of rainy days - I will only oil the teak.
      Should I do a extra presentation video on the Rhea 900? Why not? Do you think that will be of general interest for this channel?

    • @hsobstad
      @hsobstad  Год назад

      Hi Steven. After almost 50 years all the seals and putty has hardened and hence are leaking. Since that matter has not been dealt with, the boat has had years of water-intrusion from above, damaging the interior and the structural integrity of the boat. It feels bad to remove all the beautiful interior, but it is really the only smart thing to do.
      The Fishers are very though and the quality of the glassfiber is still excellent. But even high quality needs TLC (after 47 years). :-)
