- After launching and towing my Bayfield 29 home, I did some repairs throughout the summer. This video is about those repairs, and the fall haul out of the boat.

this is my kind of sailing channel... lots of work involved, and lots of information required, almost every expeience adds color to the stories. This one is a gem. I'l see you soon.
Thanks so much. We don't know what we're doing really, but we're learning as we go. Our only goal is that someone gets something positive from the videos. We appreciate your kind words. Take care.
Happy to see a sister ship getting her due. We are in NC and care for SV Pumpkin (a B29).
She's worth every ounce of love you give her.
Nice to hear from you in NC. She had a rough life up to now, but will soon be back to her former glory. Thanks for the positivity. Cheers.
That is a fine looking fishing boat. It was in hard shape but the feed of Mary Brown's was worth it!
Lol. To be honest Scott, when I saw that boat first I almost turned around and left it there. If we didn't just drive 6 hours to get it I probably would have. However, she's looking good now.
I like your boat they easy on the eye and we'll thought out , nice lines
Thanks so much. The Bayfields are indeed nice looking boats. Hopefully by spring she'll be looking even better.
I'm not gonna make a single suggestion. I was thrilled to see you were from Newfoundland and you're resorrecting what seems to be a pretty solid sailboat. A dear friend of mine was from up around Newville and Twillingate. (Mind you he passed away almost 50 years ago now). He fished from the time he was 13 on schooners and my gosh the stories he had were amazing. He was a Merchant Mariner during the 2nd war and finished his career as an officer on tankers for Getty oil. One day it's my plan to visit your corner of the world. I've made it as far as Meat Cove in Nova Scotia but have yet to take the boat to your island. Next trip North. I will say one thing about standing rigging and cost. I'm about to change over my second boat to Dyneema rope. It's light, cheap, and it does not stretch. 1/4 inch has a tensile strength of 10,000 pounds. I have no idea what they make the stuff out of but it's stout. Look forward to seeing your 29 footer under way... Merry Christmas.
Very nice to hear from you sir. My grandfather also fished on schooners and I think story telling must have been part of the job lol. I've heard of dyneema. I will give it another look. If you ever do get up this way, I'd love to have a chat on the wharf perhaps. Take care.
Take apart the turnbuckle, buy 6-10 nuts to fit and thread them on and use a vice and pipe sleave over the nuts to straighten the bolt portion.
That's an interesting idea. I'll probable try that first since it doesn't involve changing anything out... nothing ventured noting gain sort of thing. . Another great idea from Hugh was to replace the turnbuckle by removing it carefully from the cable instead of cutting the cable, thereby maintaining the length. However, I think I'll try your idea first since it does seem less invasive as a starting point. Thanks. Much appreciated.
Those rust protection lanolin based products are not really penetrating lubricants. For stuck stuff I use penetrating products first, then some lubricant (oil or grease) then the lanolin product on top.
Great videos
Good point. Come spring I'll apply some penetrating stuff first. That should free it up even more. Thanks.
You can install a Garboard Drain in your keel to drain water when your storing it for winter.
Good point. Perhaps I will do that. No harm to have one installed for sure. Thanks for commenting.
You mentioned using brass for elbows. Brass contains zinc and should never be used in salt water.
Plus brass fittings have a different thread pitch then your “ bronze” thruhulls, never mix the two, always use bronze with bronze
Oops. Ok thanks for that. Bronze it is. The marine store where I purchase all my boat parts would have picked up on that I'm sure, but I do appreciate the correction. So many things to learn about boat repairs. Take care.
Great video.. that Rust check is not great for lube, try Sea Foam Deep Creep.. i have used it on seized snow blowers and it works well.. Looing for to seeing that 14 footer finished.. I used to have one.
Thanks so much. The 14' er should be ready for spring. It was in rough shape when purchased. To be honest, if I didn't drive so far to get it I would have probably left it where it was lol. But Gerald stripped down to the glass and is making a great little fishing boat from it. I will check out the Sea Foam Deep Creep. Thanks.
Sea Foam makes some great products,,,I drove from Halifax NS to Northern NB last year for a boat that i have been wanting for a long time, 1998 Sea Nymph, it is in near new comndition ;) Been using it with the Grandsons .
03:33 A kick in this plastic fitting and it's gone ! It is not made to withstand strong blows, or constant micro twsists from the hull movements. A plastic fitting must be reinforced with fiber when it is made at the factory. Also all through hulls must have a manual valve (or tap). This is a call for fast sinking.
No worries. That was just a cheap fix while boat was sitting at the dock waiting to be put on the hard. They will be replaced before the boat goes back in the water. All the through have new manual valves. Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated.
i got an idea for the turn buckles , buy new ones 😂😂 they dont seem to be as expensive as you may think , in the UK they are cheap enough
Indeed lol. The turnbuckles are not expensive, but the cable and getting it all made up is. However, I'm the type that if someone else can do it I can figure it out too... maybe. Thanks for the sensible suggestion. I'm thinking I'll cut the cable where it makes onto the turnbuckle, replace with a new turnbuckle and put in another turnbuckle or some sort of extension to make up the lost part. Thanks
@@newfoundsailing ah i never noticed the cable was fixed or crimped onto turnbuckle,thats old ,could order up a longer bigger opening turnbuckle that can take a shackle to connect the cable thats now looped with thimble and wire clamps
It's crimped on, Good point about getting a longer turnbuckle.
Loosen the wheel brake.
I did that, but the system hasn't been used for years so it required some extra attention. Thanks for connecting.
