- Today we covering a ton of ground from applying gelcoat to the foredeck repair to processing the bowsprit and rudder. What we discover in this episode will mean a lot of work in the future to put the boat back in the water.

I’d bet a chunk of hardwood would be Pennie’s on the dollar to ss or alum. And not too hard to come by. And use the alum backing plate as a template for a new ss one - then no corrosion worries and hardwood is incredibly rot resistant so long as water doesn’t get trapped against it. It’ll look pretty too 😉keep up the good work 💪
Agreed! I think I will do this, thank you!
Before breaking the end off of the end of the bowsprit, you should have taken a tracing of the shape and full measurements. Wait until you see the price of stainless ($$$), seriously consider replacing it with good quality hardwood. Plenty of bowsprits are made of hardwood with a stainless framework. Add some whisker stays to reinforce the bob-stay and you will be fine.
Yes, completely agree, at this time I am designing a hardwood bowsprit with stainless elements/reinforcement, stoked to get working on it! I was able to piece the aluminum mostly together so I have the measurements. ✅ can’t wait to see how it turns out!
The neodymium magnets with holes in the centre & steel surrounds are much better for what you intend
Ya I was flying blind with that design, hard to find examples of vertical storage access ports.
Use a strip of starboard to insulate between the two
That would work!
Biggest issue with steel and aluminium is the galvanic corrosion the use of chemical sealants to block a bridge plus the salt water just speeds up corrosion
Yes, definitely does not belong on the wettest part of the boat.
You need to get that crevice corrosion ground out & welded up. That is right at the most dangerous part of your rudder system, if your shaft cracks there your done .
You are absolutely right, I will look into the corrosion thoroughly, it seems like a lot of sailing channels always end up with a busted rudder, I’ll have be careful with this.
HDPE or thin chopping boards will do the trick. You must completely isolate the stainless plates & bolts from aluminium. Tefgel is not enough you need to use nylon washers & proper spacerplates.
Agreed, also, I’ll have to keep that chopping board trick in mind!
My friend just replace it by sold wood end of story 😊
Agreed! ⛵️
Welding new aluminium end onto that shouldn't be that hard
I’ve got a solution in mind now ✅
