EPISODE 23 - DISMANTLING THE STANTION POSTS AND COCKPIT AND TRYING OUT SOME RUST CONVERTERS
January 06, 2021 by Sailing Melody | Language: EN Play Time: 00:34:54 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This week we continue to battle the Welsh weather and wind and short hours of daylight as we tackle more of the rust. We’re trying our a variety of rust treatments and converters to see what works best and over time we’ll be able to give our our opinion.
Sandblasting is on the way as soon as the weather improves and Ultrasioud testing is also coming soon.
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.
Follow along with our journey and help us with any advice and tips you have along the way.

We're working hard to get her ready to go back in the water but as you'll see there's a lot of work to do.
