EPISODE 22 - Treating rusty metal on our steel boat without a sand blaster

Welcome to episode eight of Season 2
Andy is working as a Paramedic for the Ambulance Service so Melissa and Jack start treating the metal on our abandoned boat.
We aren’t allowed to use a sand blaster ourselves in this yard, and whilst the boatyard has one they can use for us we can’t afford it at the moment. Also, if we’re paying the yard to do the sand blasting we really need two solid days of good weather to do the blasting and get the paint on immediately. So for now were treating each area by hand in order to slow down the deterioration over winter. In the Spring, when the weather has improved, we might then go for sandblasting. We have also bought a huge tarpaulin to cover the boat but the problem is the wind is so strong it’s just too difficult and dangerous to build a framework and cover it in tarpaulin so again we are being hampered by the weather and have to wait for an improvement before we can tackle that job, all in good time. But in the meantime there’s plenty to do. Melissa shows in this episode she’s more than capable of carrying on with the jobs while Andy’s not there.
_________________________________________________________________________
We are Andy, Melissa and Jack, a sailing family based in North Wales, and for the past couple of years we have been looking for a bluewater sailing yacht to take us around the world.
Well we’ve finally found her. Our new sailing yacht is a John Teal designed 38ft Steel Pilothouse Cutter. She has been standing ashore for at least 15 years and now we’re embarking on the huge challenge of refitting her and doing her up ready to go sailing around the world.
