General winter boat jobs ; deck & engine maintenance, removing the fore stay and much more!
April 10, 2020 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:22 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
There are always jobs to do on a sailboat and we try to get as much done off season here in the Med as possible.
There are separate videos for oil change, winch maintenance, varnishing, bilge pump maintenance and rigging. So this is the stuff thats left… and there’s quite a lot!
So in this video we delve into teak deck maintenance, cleaning and protecting with Semco, something I thoroughly recommend for teak decks.
We also tackle the problem with out roller furling which involves removing the fore stay, always a tricky business for the uninitiated.
We look at whats left to do on the engine this year, lacquering some of the Bronze (I went with ‘Intralac’ this year so we will see how that goes.
I replaced the seals in the hatches, having hatches that leak can be really annoying! And much more.
Do take a look at this video as I’m sure there will be something in there thats relavent for you.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.
