Catalina Smile Fix - Part 2 - Ep. 40 [Sailing Ixion]

Catalina Smile Fix Part 2 continues the repair of our bilge and keel. After removing the keel bolts, it’s time to remove the wood core. Meanwhile, we start work to fix our keel damage. These boys with boats never shy away from a challenge.

Previously you saw us remove the keel bolts, and get the bilge ready for us to carve out the wood core and replace it with fiber glass. Catalina has detailed how the repair should go, and we are moving along right on track based on their guidelines. This is an issue that many older Catalina’s suffer from, but this repair will fix the Catalina smile permanently.

Meanwhile, Jake begins grinding away the paint from the bottom of the keel to fix the exterior and begin repairing the damage from when Ixion ran aground. The completion of this project will make our wrecked electric sailboat one step closer to not being wrecked any more!
