      They got a bum survey apparently but Prehaps forgot that the surveyor knew the value of the boat and sadly that influences the survey , a condition survey takes into account the boat value. Any 30 year old boat worth $5k will have all sorts of issues but is worth $5k….(or what ever pittance they paid).

    Dan, when you reglass the bulkheads to the floor, be sure to double check with your guy about the bulkheads being glassed hard against the hull. Usually builders leave that gap so the hull can flex and not create hard spots where the hull can be damaged. No different that installing stringers in a boat. Keep up the great work and glad the news was good on the ultrasound.

  • @davidc6510
    @davidc6510 Год назад

    Ultrasonic non-destructive inspection (UT NDI) uses sound waves to measure thickness of a composite laminate and search for inclusions or delaminations within that laminate. The rate of travel of the sound wave depends on the density of the material. When the sound wave hits a change of density in the laminate or bounces off the back side of the part it creates reflections that are picked up by the technician's instruments. Delaminations, blisters, or inclusions (embedded material that is not fiberglass) show up as a short return signal with respect to the pristine areas that indicates where the delamination is and the depth of it within the hull. The inspection process proceeds by finding areas of good material than using the signals measured by the tool to find areas that have problems. As mentioned in the video a couplant is used to ensure the sound is transmitted into the part to get good readings. Really sophisticated UT NDI systems used by some Aerospace companies that make composite parts for aircraft can use lasers to create the sound pulse on the composite and then measure the response within the part. A great video update and good news for Uma. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

I know I have binge watched your videos after I found your channel about 5 years or so ago. Keep the videos coming and I will watch as you put UMA back together better than she has been in many, many years since she was initially built.

  • @waynefederico9396

    I worked at Boston Whaler they put different color fiberglass chop when spraying the mold so many per sq. inch then move the gun. Does your hull show any color strands per in. Then pop the mold and tap every Sq. inch with a neoprene tip hammer to find any voids in the gel coat. And we through you guys were having a baby...

    Almost undoubtedly the most important aspect of your renovations, knowing how flexible or rigid Uma's hull needs to be, section by section. This is great groundwork and will be rewarded by allowing you to create a really good plan for building the foundations of your redesign. Such a knowledgeable expert is so useful to have in your planning stage. I look forward to seeing the build over the coming months.

  • @johnkabel285

    There was a comment about Deming, and data. One important piece of info is the distance Uma has already gone in your hands. Another is all the repairs you have documented. You would be adding strength and safety to that starting point. Not going with a new old boat of unknown strength. This US was a prudent check, and probably not that costly to do. Good luck going forward.

    This video taught me a lot. I've had my boat (fiberglass built in 1976) for soon 30 yrs now but a couple of yrs ago it fell over at the yard during a winter storm (through my membership I was a part owner and it turned out I couldn't sue as bad ground was part of the reason). Well, the boat is in nearly the same stage as Uma: gutted and in need for interior re-lamination and repair of the bulkheads/through-holes. What caught my attention in the video was the delamination of the knees. I will check and possibly make "new" ones. Thx Dan and Kika.

    Been following since you started and put a forklift motor in the boat.( I thought you were crazy) Ya know...a time comes when you have to put the pet down and move on to bigger and better and different things after a period of mourning. UMA has had an amazing second life.

    Sad looks are not for the good news but for all the hard work you guys will have to do putting the boat all together the way you want it.😁

    Beautiful illustration of how Ignorance is Bliss, but now, that you are evolved, invested and more knowledgeable, you will move forward in a much more coherent manner. This development can be seen in many walks of life, whether talking about boat ownership, taking on big challenges or completing big adventures. Same lessons can be applied to relationships, establishing or growing a business, or any major project (e.g. Home Renovation) that you care to parallel this example to. Kudos for the effort and smarts to get through the tough times and now progress with knowledge and awareness. Too many sailing channels focus on the fluff, and incidentals that come after the selection of a correct platform choice. Uma is the right size to live aboard, cross oceans and sustain a lifestyle above monastic existence...... Other boats are too large and become a money pit, others too small and the capacity to journey and live sustainably ultimately falters. Fascinated to see the rebirth from here - especially when you consider how many old boats can be had today, which remain passion projects for so many, but ultimately have few good bones to build upon........ Fair winds, and good luck.
