Hi Emma, I also like to go in a hot air balloon. If you have the opportunity to do so, only travel in a smaller balloon with a maximum of 3 people. The weight greatly affects the maneuverability of the balloon. So itˋs much safer. Have a nice trip and a fantastic experience. You will never forget. Happy landings!
I can see it now: 3" round patch, out side top centered edge about 1/2 way around reads GLORIOUS SANDING, out side bottom edge is smaller font then top reads SV BASIK, center of patch in a very contrasting color shows A GLORIOUS ORBITAL SANDER. A patch that is ideal for your hoodie, jacket, base ball cap, or a simple refrigerator magnet. I give you this glorious patch idea, with full rights to do as you see fit. No claims of copywrite by me exist. Be happy, be safe. Emma and Compass are the best!
All work and no play, makes Teal a land lubber!!! You’ve done so much; you ALL HAVE!!! Now, it’s time to set sail and take advantage of the efforts you’ve performed!!!
Great job Teal and Linh, the sailing catamaran looks like new, however with all the upgrades and redesigning you two have done she is way ahead of the curve. Love the backup for engine cooling. With your planned world travel, there will be some areas of heavy pollution. Very wise Captain Teal. I noticed your rudder, but figured it was one of a touch up project not worthy of the attention of your audience. No one would expect you to fool us as we trust you and you don’t do anything that anyone should criticize your great attention to detail. Here’s to a great launching. God Bless🙏🐻
Teal you do excellent work. I was watching another boat working project the other day and the man said thickened epoxy, I was so disappointed that Lhyn didn't pop up and take a shot. Y'all the best.
I love how much a perfectionist Teal. Is you guys seam like a loving couple with a great family. We are looking at buying a 34ft trawler to cruise close to our home in southeast Alaska with our 4 pugs
If there was ever a cat built that I’d feel safe crossing an ocean on - it would be SV Basik! I’m a bit of a perfectionist myself so, I appreciate Teal’s desire to over-engineer things and to take projects a step further than necessary. I also understand how frustrating those tendencies can be to your family or crew, especially after weeks and weeks of sitting on the hard. But, I suspect all that extra effort will become greatly appreciated by everyone during a passage with the first encounter of heavy weather and big seas. 😎
You really do set the bar for boat work, Teal! We got married in a hot air balloon in Napa many moons ago. We try to balloon everywhere we travel in the world. It's an awesome bucket-list item!
another great video .have two friends in VT who are tech service specialists for International paint when I was sailing we use Jotun products due to the company was from Sandejord Norway the home of Jotun the company AS thordahl tank an line boats cheers from Vung Tau Vietnam
🙋♀️HELLO SV BASIK CREW! Teal, I didn't know what a rudder was 'til you pointed it out. Being docked as you are out of the water, the shape to me could have been a boogie board, or a paddle craft to stand on while skimming the surface of the water. It wasn't unusual to me to see shapes of this sort on docks with boats. I was so focused on watching how you created this top for your Catamaran, I didn't dare look away. It was new to me. It looks so beautiful, like a brand new boat. Well kept. I could feel your excitement Emma seeing the Hot Air Balloons, as I enjoy seeing all the balloons, & various colors also. Lihn you roll like I do. That's a good thing! My niece has a board she stands on at the lake with Lulu. Lulu looks like she's smiling, such a happy little Applehead Chihuau. That's what that tongue shaped board reminded me of. Forgive my ignorance please. I hope you all have a very good week. Enjoyed your video.
For sure. I'm starting a fiberglassable project. Just one problem: the big box stores only carry resin in quarts, glass cloth in TINY bags, no fumed silica at all. They're expecting car body repairs, not big projects. I guess that's what happens when u live >1,000 miles from a large body of water. I'll have to use the "poor man's fiberglass" method for my project.
Magic Magic Wow I'm totally in awe of the way u all work together absolutely top notch stuff, than you for teaching me so much about thickened epoxy lol, ur all incredibly skilled and best of all u seem happy and love each other very much. Ur amazing boat will certainly be the fastest on the water with her very well sanded bottom. Good luck, I will be there in spirit anyway for ur splash day she's going to enjoy getting Wet. Cheers Aussie Girl 🌈⛵😁🇦🇺🍹🐕💜
Back in the 70's when I was learning my trade as an oil and colour chemist we used to add a dose of TBTO and TBTA to all boot stripe paint so it was a smooth gloss yet also had antifouling properties very effective until they were both banned. Rightly so they are both really bad in the environment (but they worked) We also made epoxy timber sealers for boats containing Pentachlora Phenol which is why you should never stand downwind from a burning boat of that era.
That morning after soreness can be easily removed by taking a couple of over the counter pain pills, regular aspirin or any other basic pain pill with some anti-inflammatory ingredients. Works perfectly every time used
Faux bullet time! That's awesome! You don't have to take a shot everytime the T.E. words are said, just use the same little clip everytime and superimpose it in the top corner or something. It's just a fun gag you could use for spice. Enjoy your channel :)
Where were you guys years ago when I work in a shop fixing fiberglass bass boats? lol Teal you sir are like the jedi master of fiberglass, I have learned so much watching you work.
Watch out Wachowski's! Lynh has invented the RUclips equivalent of "bullet time" video capture: "Teal Time". Clearly, the balloon video was all CGI. :)
Well, guys. since I have discovered your channel about two weeks ago, I have not slept, I have not gotten anything done, I have been binge watching all your videos and you guys have worn me OUT! WOW! I am impressed, what a long way you have come and the look at all the hard work you have done and things that you have accomplished, you have even managed to inspire me to get on some projects. I have to say BRAVO guys, BRAVO! And, Emma is a cute as she can be!
The meticulous perfection and just the brainiac genius gives me a headache. I love it. The engineering, and skill. This catamaran is perfection. And how clean it is. Not a speck of dust, rust, or grime from top to bottom. What you folks time spent on hands-on projects, would take me twice the time just to keep it clean. It's a talent that few in the world have or are able to do. Absolute quality, that takes skill.
Sneaky guy that Waldo ! Lol, great video sailors 🙂 Is there new science on using stainless steel below water ? Stainless needs oxygen. I was told never to do it, as stray marina voltage will attack it and no warning of failure unlike bronse turning pink. I know it's common to use stainless for rudder posts, but a through hull valve is real danger If it fails. I love my copper bottom job, I used hard set epoxy NOT ablative epoxy. Should last 20 plus years. Cheers to you guys. You Rock. 😃
Hello: having had a 38ft cat I sympathize with your sanding....always said I sanded and painted my 76' yacht! Wise choice on raising the boot stripe.. I would have
Using quality products is the key to an awesome finish. Teal you do awesome work, love watching you work and how you layout your projects. I have a bed I’m building my 9 years old daughter, golf cart I’m rebuilding, cedar box I’m fixing for a friend and my boat I’m rebuilding
Fantastic result. Miss the thickened epoxy shots though. One thing for sure, Teal takes his time with projects but does it to perfection that's the best part if some people don't like that then why are they watching. Great job guys. Can't wait to see you splash in the next few episodes.
I hauled out last Saturday and got right to work on sanding the hull above the waterline. Monday, I laid the first coat of paint. Tuesday, I scuffed, tack clothed and laid another coat of paint. As of yesterday, I put the final coat on and it looks phenomenal. My 41 year old boat is really starting to look brand new. Splashing on Wednesday and the rest of my projects can be done while on a mooring ball. Hard dodger materials start arriving Monday.
I can verify that rumor about hot air balloons landing on your property and gifting you a nice bottle of champagne! I use to live on a ranch where things were known to fall out of the sky. You know just the normal stuff like U2 Airforce planes and stuff. I remember on one hot 113 degree temp day a pilot was just randomly walking out of one of our fields, and there was nothing but our field and a reservoir/lake. We didn't notice but an small airplane had crashed out there. Then one morning at 5:30 am we had a knock on the door asking if we would mind unlocking a gate to the same field that the U2 had crashed and the other plane had crashed, and letting them drive their truck into our field to load up the balloon that had come down there. Before they left they came back to give us a bottle of nice champagne! It was thank you, for allowing them an entrance so they didn't have to walk everything out and over fences. It is a tradition, and I am not sure if it is just in California or everywhere, but I am sure it is everywhere! We lived way up north in Calif at the time, but just wanted to let you know Napa actually has a hot air balloon festival, and that might have been why you were seeing so many of them.
Always more stuff to do. I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish the hardtop. I have a feeling that the dodger over the helm is going to look really cool.
Linh, I understand you've been sailing with the man who goes by the name of the "Sandman". He scans the sides with a sharp eagle eye for imperfections that still need to be sanded.
I’m new. I saw someone mention y’all from Salt and Tar so I’m now subscribed and enjoying your adventures with you. You have a really great family and I have to say Linh is a very beautiful lady. Teal is a very lucky man!!! Stay safe guys 🇺🇸🙏👍
I love your channel, you have given such insight on what it takes to maintain a sailboat and relationship. I have a question for Teal regarding the rudders and the dangers of them being damaged while underway. My question is have you considered building some sort of skeg to protect them, you're so good that I think it is within your abilities. The reason I am asking is because of listening to John Kretchmer on Project Atticus when they were considering features on their new boat. A skeg was a major factor in their sailboat construction. Mr. Kretchmer was commenting that the no. 1 reason that sailboats are abandoned at sea is due to rudder damage. I've noticed that only a few catamarans have skegs to protect their rudders. I realize that the sail drives are close to the rudders and that the rudders are of a semi balanced type (not sure if I'm using correct terminology). You seem always to come up with solutions to difficult design situations, so I'm certain its within your skill sets. May be there are other factors I'm not seeing. Anyway thank you for all the hard work that you put in producing your channel. Thanks Jamil
I am hoping to see a view that will show the overall cockpit cover. We have been teased enough. I am surprised the manufacturer didn't provide a cockpit cover with a dodger. Best wishes to all you guys.
SV basik was built IN 1993 by Mastermold Composite Services in Florida. She was the only one ever produced and did come with a hardtop. We were not happy with it and removed it way back on episode 26.
Looks like you're all super exited to be finishing this haul out and getting back in the water. I think this is going to be a fun summer in the cockpit. Can't wait to see the sails up!
As ever, I get very excited when I get a notification about a new OBL film. And then - about half way through watching it - a gradual sadness descends as I realise I'm going to have to wait another week for the next instalment! I'm busting to see you back on the water, so I can't imagine how you must all be feeling. xx
I have two friends that will probably let you dock your boats on their docks in Newport Beach. You can also go to Balboa Yacht Club and talk to them about docking or the use of one of their many mooring balls that they own in front of the club. Let me know if that's something you would like to do and I'll set it up. By the way, both of my friends docks are located on the peninsula between the Balboa Island ferry and the channel entrance about half way. The 1100 hundredth block to be precise.
Your team is the best at using time in your haul-outs. Nobody does it better! (I did not notice the rudder and I am bummed about it!). Was there anyway to keep the grass from being invested into the sail drive sea water inlets - fine mesh screen??
Hi I really enjoy watching your channel and look forward to the next one. I seen you struggling removing stainless steel screws from aluminum and as a motorcycle mechanic I used a manual impact screwdriver It works real good. Not sure if this could help you. Allan Klein Tools 70220 Impact Driver, Reversible Driver Set Includes 3/8-Inch Square Drive Adapter and Four Hex Bits
Things look to be coming along fantastically!!! GREAT JOB YA'LL!!! ....I just have one thought, have you considered how you are going to be able to see the main sail to observe the trim or position? I was thinking maybe a cut in a clear window OR mount a topside camera with a monitor at the helm?...Wadiya think?
Since you won't take any shots after Teal says "thickened epoxy" how about you do a shot every time he says "I feel good about it". All joking aside - great job. Your attention to detail and high quality is amazing.
Sorry I missed your rudder Where's Waldo game but that just goes to show that your content is interesting enough that it kept my attention in every episode and I'm sure will continue to do so. 👍🙂
Side comment and question. Have you watched "Sailing Yaba" at all? Or any other subscribers? I am curious if the skills to rebuild Yaba' exist in Port Townsend? I am very impressed with the primitive but effectiveness displayed by those men in that shipyard in Brazil.
When your back on your way out do you go through Raccoon Straights or around Angel Island? You guys should think about a send off party of locals to wave you off on your voyage from the Golden Gate Bridge.
I saw the rudder on its side in one video, but figured since you seem to cover multiple projects simultaneously, explanation would be coming.... and also, "The student must not question the master. " Isn't that some ancient chinese proverb????
You sneaky sneaky guy!!! That’s rudderly hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣
With THIS project, or this PROJECT??
BRILLIANT!!!
That boat is one labor of love. Totally TLS.

Teal is always thinking ahead. Backup systems for engine cooling. This is why he is at the top of my list to watch.
👍
There's a saying "two is one, one is done". Works for many applications.
All work and no play, makes Teal a land lubber!!!
You’ve done so much; you ALL HAVE!!!
Now, it’s time to set sail and take advantage of the efforts you’ve performed!!!

In our saloon, thickened epoxy will always be a daily toast. Splice the mainbrace! ⚓️😎🍸

I feel like I can do fiberglass now after watching so many of Teal's Masterclass Fiberglass Projects. Love the attention to detail.
For sure. I'm starting a fiberglassable project. Just one problem: the big box stores only carry resin in quarts, glass cloth in TINY bags, no fumed silica at all. They're expecting car body repairs, not big projects. I guess that's what happens when u live >1,000 miles from a large body of water.

Like always an amazing job! Now get that boat in the water Teal.
You sound like Linh!
I thought the rudder was maybe a home-made body surfing board.
I certainly didn't look closely.
See you then. Sounds better when Emma says it.
Teal's desire to raise the waterline is a reflection of how much he appreciates Linh's cooking.
You just made me chuckle...too funny!
Fantastic result. Miss the thickened epoxy shots though. One thing for sure, Teal takes his time with projects but does it to perfection that's the best part if some people don't like that then why are they watching. Great job guys. Can't wait to see you splash in the next few episodes.

Good job, enjoyed watching the projects but no cooking this week 😂 I will have several shots for Linh today, stay safe.
Boats looking great,thanks for sharing
You guys are awesome can't wait to see you in the water 💦
Great progress, looking awesome
I hauled out last Saturday and got right to work on sanding the hull above the waterline. Monday, I laid the first coat of paint. Tuesday, I scuffed, tack clothed and laid another coat of paint. As of yesterday, I put the final coat on and it looks phenomenal. My 41 year old boat is really starting to look brand new. Splashing on Wednesday and the rest of my projects can be done while on a mooring ball. Hard dodger materials start arriving Monday.
Yep we definitely failed the Where the rudder is located but watching the detail you guys put into the boat projects was more interesting.
Looks like Teal has two hands together and is praying to the sanding gods for a perfect finish.
This has to be one of the best maintained boats around. Excellent job guys! Ps. Where is the end result of the small hard top build? Cheers!

Things look to be coming along fantastically!!! GREAT JOB YA'LL!!! ....I just have one thought, have you considered how you are going to be able to see the main sail to observe the trim or position? I was thinking maybe a cut in a clear window OR mount a topside camera with a monitor at the helm?...Wadiya think?
He has considered it and has a plan. 🙂
@@genewaddlerandomstuff2122 ....OF COARSE he does!!!...What was I thinking!!
Since you won't take any shots after Teal says "thickened epoxy" how about you do a shot every time he says "I feel good about it". All joking aside - great job. Your attention to detail and high quality is amazing.
Linh will take the shots after we splash. She keeps her word. 👍🥃🥃🥃🥃
They say that there are mentally satisfying jobs. The best place to balloon ride is Santa Fe NM
Looking great!
Thanks guys..
Hi Trev!
Sorry I missed your rudder Where's Waldo game but that just goes to show that your content is interesting enough that it kept my attention in every episode and I'm sure will continue to do so. 👍🙂
Siempre me impresiona vuestro trabajo, enhorabuena por los resultados.. Cuando empezais a navegar de nuevo?
Side comment and question. Have you watched "Sailing Yaba" at all? Or any other subscribers? I am curious if the skills to rebuild Yaba' exist in Port Townsend? I am very impressed with the primitive but effectiveness displayed by those men in that shipyard in Brazil.
hehe ... drink !!!
When your back on your way out do you go through Raccoon Straights or around Angel Island? You guys should think about a send off party of locals to wave you off on your voyage from the Golden Gate Bridge.
I’m in shock, no more “thickened epoxy” shots 😲
Can’t believe Teal was pulling ‘the rudder one’ either 🤣
She said "no more until we hit the water" 🥃🥃
@@tealgoben1781 good news, hate to see a quitter 🤪
Think maybe your rudder got slightly damaged when you hit that deadhead? Loving your videos, 1 at a time. 💓
I saw the rudder on its side in one video, but figured since you seem to cover multiple projects simultaneously, explanation would be coming.... and also, "The student must not question the master. " Isn't that some ancient chinese proverb????
🥃🥃🥃🥃 Thickened epoxy!
