SAILBOAT REFIT: Gluing our broken boom back together • Welcome back to sailing NV, where we’re refitting and Open 60, originally designed and raced in the Vendée Globe. • One of our biggest jobs was to repair our 9m carbon fibre boom. In the last couple of videos we cut the boom in 2 pieces, and made a mould of the profile so that we could start building a sleeve. In this video we show the outcome of the previous laminations in a vacuum of this sleeve and finally use it to glue the boom back together. • ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • If you enjoyed this video please consider supporting us on • Patreon / sailingnv • or with a one-off donation via • https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv • or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/saili... • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Products we've been using: • West system epoxy resin • https://amzn.to/3EXuTjo • https://amzn.to/3ClCOG9 • Fibreglass roller • https://amzn.to/3QTSGDO • Peel ply • https://amzn.to/3pvczWp • Interprotect epoxy primer - to prime and seal both above and below the waterline • https://amzn.to/3pxOPAG • https://amzn.to/3T9PvKb • Perfection - 2 pack top coat to paint the interior • https://amzn.to/3A50VGk • Etch primer - to prime metals to prevent corrosion • https://www.international-yachtpaint.... • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Caio! We are Timo and Jo, an Italian and English couple with countless ocean miles under our belts. We're refitting an ex Vendée Globe Open 60 race boat originally designed built raced by famous Hungarian sailor Nándor Fa. He competed in her in the 1992 Vendée Globe (round the world single handed race known as “the Everest of the seas”), finishing 5th, becoming the first non-frenchman to finish. • We are currently in Fiji giving this old gladiator a new lease on life, transforming her from an ex race boat to a performance family cruiser, which we'll need to make both dog and baby proof! We’re planning to set sail again in Oct 2022, so with limited time money we have plenty of challenges ahead to turn our dreams into reality get back on the water! • Subscribe to our channel track our progress as we release videos about our journey as well as how to videos about anything boat related. • Never stop to dream, never stop to sail! • You can find out more about the boat, us and our refit plans on our website www.sailingnv.com or follow us on • Facebook / sailingyachtnv and • Instagram / sailingnv • #sailingnv #sailboatrefit #sailboatboom #sailboat #boatlife #Open60 #raceboat #cruising #sailingvlog #boatwork #lifeinfiji #sailingfamily #fijirefit #nandorfa #vendeeglobe #sailingblog
