Knock On Wood! How To Retro-Fit Timber Trims On A Production Yacht | Boat Refit Documentary Part 17
It's been about three years since the timber trims were removed from our 44-year-old boat's interior, and destroyed in the process.
Now they're finally back!!
This video contains heaps of tips and tricks for working with teak.
Things like:
* Making patterns
* Cutting angles
* Cheats for countersinks
* Making teak plugs
And more.
There's also a bit of 'how to' on the last fixed headliner pieces we've installed, including tips for holding things in place while working overhead.
We hope you find this informative and entertaining.
For us, it's another milestone in the refit of our Kelly Peterson 44 met!!

The Sailing Adventures of Brilliant II
Join the Smallwoods - Sharon, Julian, Josh, and Pepe (the Blue Burmese) - aboard Sailing Vessel Brilliant II. Brilliant II is a Kelly Peterson 44, built in 1978. Julian and Sharon bought the boat in Phuket, Thailand, in 2005, and sailed her slowly back to Sydney, Australia. Over the next five years they lived aboard and sailed the coasts of New South Wales and Queensland. They are currently based in the Whitsundays, Queensland, where Josh was born in 2010. In 2021 they began a refit of the water-damaged interior (which had needed doing since the start!), while continuing to sail on mini-adventures north and south of their home port. Sharon is a photojournalist by trade, but realising YouTube is a thing has started creating videos too. You can also follow their adventures on Instagram at @shazatsea.
