    This video changed my whole way of looking at everything. Transcendental.

    I heartily applaud the work ethic, even as I dodge my MacGregor 25's extreme makeover. She's a sweet and sturdy sailing companion, dirty or clean.

    Just watched your sailboat video. What was the pad and liquid you used to clean the interior? Just water on the outside?

    • @gillhe1
      @gillhe1  2 года назад

      Green scotchbright round pad with dish soap and water on the interior then car soap and rinse on the outside. After that I buffed in some wax, that will be in the next video.

    Great ! Someone who has the same Boat as My Restoration Project ! What Luck - but when are you going to do the next Video ? I need help in DIY re-stepping the mast area and replacing ie installing a new Macgregor 26 base plate for the mast. If and when you get er done.. she is a great boat to sail ! Do NOT GIVE UP THE SHIP ! ! !

      That’s awesome! I haven’t given up on the boat, my wife and I had a kid so I had to slow down with RUclips however I have A-LOT of footage that I still need to upload. Been busy with other adventures

      @@gillhe1 I can't wait to watch them !! But take care of that little one FIRST ! Best wishes to you and yours. I am sure your boat will bring you all great fun and times. Remember you DO NOT have to finish it to start sailing it. Sail and work on it - don't let it become a project non-sailing boat !!

    Thanks for the response. I will be looking for your next video. The pad looked coarser in the video more like one of the paint stripper disc. So that white foam was the soap not oxidation and gel coat inside the cabin. Really good info. Have you found parts for your boat expensive or reasonable to get it up to sailing condition? One of the two boats I am looking at currently is a Venture 22. It is in useable condition built needs to be freshened up, the other is an older Ensenada that has been gutted and disassembled but the bright side is redone

      Correct, and Bluewateryachts has a lot of stuff

    I figured it would shine up pretty good with power washing but was surprised how hard to clean the inside. I was also surprised to see the exact same rudder attachments and missing the same amount of rubrail in the same spot as my Venture 25. Looks like they were trying to do a lousy job of modifying the inside. Wrong metal brackets for sure. Hope you got it sailing again. Good video.

      @gillhe1  3 года назад +1

      I'll do a breakdown at the end of the next video, the parts we need for the boat have been ordered so as soon as they come in I'll probably have the video up the day after. Thanks for the comments!
