so guys it is day four and what the guys are doing right now
martin and Oden
what they're doing it's just removing all the stains from the boat um
and as you can see
from what we had before in the previous video
there were like massive black yellow all colored stains
and they're getting rid of all that
they're doing it with acid
one of the mistakes that we made last year
was doing this
the guy told us the guy that did the acid cleaning for us
he told us that we could just paint and then do the acid afterwards
when the acid fell over the paint
it just stripped out the paint not completely but a lot
we're alejo and andrea and we've been living on a sailing catamaran for the past two years
you'll get a lot of this
we've recently hauled out our boat to get all the work that we have been putting aside since living on the sailboat
so join us as we start putting this all back together
check out how we're getting it all white guys are getting it all clean
make sure we don't have any more stains
getting rid of all those things
one of the other things that is getting done at the same time it's the removal of the rudder
so the port side has already been removed um
they did up open a hole so they would be able to drop the rudder
the other one still there
let me show you how the stains how it's making the difference when they remove it with acid
all the stains that we had here um this is going to be removed as well
all these things from when we have a bunch of algae like growth from
and what we're going to be doing is we're going to be raising the water line um
about two inches i think it is we're going to raise it a little bit more in the bow
because the problem is that um when they first manufactured the lagoon 420s they came in a hybrid version
which had like a massive electrical engine
which actually like weighed a lot right
so when that was removed from the back side of the lagoon's 420 like you have more weight in the bow
versus the back, the stern, so when you look at our boat in the water
you can almost see it it looks a little bit like this and you can see the water line is not like parallel to the line here
so we are going to be raising about an inch the bow side and then leave the stern as it is
and also
because as you guys can see here the paint is not protecting you can still get a lot a lot of this
in the waterline
and so we want to make sure that this is all taken care of
we will remove it cut this a little bit and then we'll um just maybe i don't know if we're going to raise this one a little bit or just leave it as it is
check out all the dirt that is happening
so once they finish cleaning the entire boat they're going to start sanding
it is friday today and the goal is to get out of here by tuesday
we have to finish we are working on the installation of the bms upstairs on the lithium battery
so um we are doing that in a separate video so make sure you subscribe to our channel
and that you hit the notifications bell so you can be notified when we upload a new video
so yesterday we received the shipment from the U.S.
all the goodies that we had ordered most importantly we were waiting for the ceramic coating which we received
and we will be
starting to work on the polishing
so the ceramic coating is going to take quite some time
and the reason why we want to do it ourselves is because we want to make sure that we actually do it right
so we paid fifty dollars in the us for shipping
christmas
ninja blender
we haven't used the ninja blender yet but our nutribullet was like dead
and we had already purchased
we had purchased a brand new one in the us when we were there like eight months ago and it's already gone
so that's why we're changing brands today because nutribullet doesn't work for us anymore
so alejo ordered a bunch of parts for the boat
he ordered
we're getting our ceramic coating
it's all in here
ceramic coating
i ordered some new sunglasses because they're gone and my wrinkles you know getting to my 30s i'm getting some wrinkles
we just received the shipment
and look i guess
so that's for the ceramic coating
it's like christmas
very important so we can make the book look shiny nice and shiny like new!
replenish
this product um usually when you have a professional do it it's very very expensive
it can go up to like ten thousand dollars twelve thousand dollars
the product is not um
it's expensive but it's not too expensive for for the for the time that it lasts
so a ceramic coat it can last like two three years if you take care of it uh
the ceramic coating is a bit on the expensive side so if we don't do the polishing right then we just kind of waste the product itself
this is what we received for the products of the ceramic coating all these goodies let me show you more stuff
all this massive bag
we will be doing the vlogging of the entire process of the ceramic coating on our lagoon 420 in another video
that is it for today we're gonna try to get um the sanding done and we're going to try to do the first coat of primer
we're really hoping that the weather holds up because it's all subject to the weather man
if it rains we can't paint if it rains we can't sand if it's very humid we can't paint
so yep hoping the weather helps us
by the way guys we were just talking about um
like how we didn't know that we had to do all this amount of work when we first bought the boat
and so many of you guys like look at you know youtube channels that make it look so perfect and like so um i hope we're not that kind of channel
because really it is far from perfect and where you everything's like super blue clear water, everything works everything you know never nothing ever stops working
that is like far from the reality and honestly something that we didn't know that had to be done was all this amount of work
like every two years you have to do a ton of work
and um which is what we're doing right now and honestly you know it's we're spending a bunch of money on this considering that we're doing this ourselves so if you don't
want to do this yourself you have to pay someone else to do it which you can easily triple what
you would already be paying if you had to do it yourself um
so yeah we just want to like kind of like put that out there that it is all not
that it's not all you know perfectly crystal clear blue water and like you just tanning that doesn't happen
things break things stop working and every single two years not only is the paint
it's the work on the engines the work on like you know if you have any upgrades that you want to get done inside the boat
if the polishing that has to be done like every five months or so if you don't do the polishing then you have to
end up painting the entire boat all around
and you gotta be open to learn new things you can't stress too much about it
oh really maybe you should apply what you're saying
there will be a stressful time yes
he was super stressed out yesterday and today this morning so maybe he should apply what he's saying to you guys
that's what i'm saying it can be very very it's stressful
we're not complaining at all we are very grateful for the life we live but we're just trying to be as honest as we can in terms of like the good and the bad
and that this is part of it and this is like
yeah we're not trying to scare you guys not to buy a boat
just keep in mind when you buy a boat you have to do this work
exactly this is part of buying a boat
so pretty much that way you don't buy a boat it's like oh man! i just wanted to be in the clear water
yeah like this is part of it like i try to enjoy it
i like doing this battery things and motors, and like servicing the engines
but sometimes like i said it gets stressful like
uh the other day we were removing the cone clutch and like the bolts are super rusty and instead of doing it in half an hour it takes five or six hours
so yeah so while we're fixing this battery situation while we're doing that
we are also making lunch and since we don't have any energy
man i'm glad we have our little camping stove so you know we're just camping out here on the boat with all this mess
we're gonna be making some pasta just to feed ourselves and get it out of the way
so yeah you're probably thinking like we rented an apartment, why are we not at the apartment
but we're not at the apartment because first of all the apartment barely has plates i mean
it's terrible we're really just using it for the air conditioning
so guys this is dane and he will be removing the starboard rudder he already removed the port side
Dane you want to tell me what you're doing there
i'm taking off the bolts
on the on the top mm-hmm the four bolts are holding
okay
take off the pin yeah and drop it
okay
and that's it
yeah
so you move remove the rudder and then how do you fix it
remove the rudder and then i go from underneath and walk on the bearing
if you look on this side, you see the bearing is already out
so to get to the bearing i have to drop the rudder
oh okay interesting
it's it's really tight inside here
yeah it is this is the worst engine room ever
but i'm sure you've had worse right
you've had worse engine rooms that you have to go in
yes
okay so this is not that bad no
but it's tight yeah very tight
the monohulls it's tight inside yeah
so you must get a lot of jobs because you're the one that knows how to do all this stuff in the boatyard
so you're busy all the time
yeah sometimes sometimes people have like sometimes people run into those problems and
they they think what they think about changing the bearing yeah but sometimes you don't really
need to change the bearing right because the bearing is a it's a split bearing
and once the once the hole starts wearing a little bit the bearing will just open out to meet it oh
that's the the arm that came off around the rudder
yeah that's all that holds the rudder together
okay okay so remove this
and then you have a final pin yeah
to drop once we take off that pin oh that's when it falls yeah oh
hold up hold up
all right all right let go down slow
coming down
so this is what opens and that way the the router feels loose so this has to be mounted up here
and like a very snug so it doesn't vibrate
all right so while dane works on the rudders while alejo works on the lithium batteries
i am going to be working on removing the starboard side um the saildrive boot
so guys after a lot of sanding the boat is bare it is completely naked
it does not have any paint anymore they have stripped it all
now they're washing it and we're gonna start painting finally
um we're still trying to find a solution to the lithium batteries
uh the bms installation and we're gonna check what Alejo is up to
looking good it looks great
oh damn
right now to wash up on the dust and um
tomorrow morning we will do first coat yeah of course primer primer leave it for a couple hours two three hours and then blast into
the next primer and then put a black on top of it and then see this final coat
and you guys didn't sand this one
no no the guy coming back tomorrow tomorrow to sand this one
the reason why he couldn't do it because those guys were sanding
oh so you can't do it at the same time
yeah yeah yeah yeah we will be a lot of dust
um we will start tomorrow morning oh it's good
okay guys so i'm gonna be putting back together the sail drive
i'm gonna sand here a little bit so it makes a good seal
the past couple of days have been a rough couple of days we have spent over
i don't know maybe 24 hours just trying to fix the battery now and like installing the bms and we still have not been able to do it
at least today, the sanding finally got done uh tomorrow they will be sanding the stripe
and we will be removing the stripe from the inner side of the boat we will just be leaving the outside
we have no electricity on the boat so again we can't cook on the boat
but it gets super messy and anyway i'm just gonna go to the apartment and like try to make something
we hope you've enjoyed watching this video
if you did don't forget to subscribe and hit the notifications bell so you can
join us next sunday as we finish all the boat work in land
see you on the next one
