| Video Discription | Time to do something about all the osmotic blisters and the high moisture readings on the hull of this Contessa 32, commonly known as Osmosis that is in fact the action that is taking place as blisters in the laminate grow. Before peeling the hull to remove the antifouling (coppercoat or similar) I remove the seacocks and through-hull fittings, the rudder, stern tube and anodes. The hull is then peeled to expose the laminate before media blasting to open up the blisters. This work also uncovers some badly repaired keel damage that will need repairing properly in due course. Many thanks to the owner for giving me permission to create this content based on the refit of his boat. ******************************************************************************************************* For my day-job I run a small business repairing, maintaining and refitting sailing boats (often contessa 32’s due to my long experience with them). I'm mostly in the central Solent area of the UK. Being a cruising and racing sailor with many thousands of inshore and offshore sea miles logged I like to think that I bring a great deal of real world experience to my work and help many new (and not so new) boat owners to improve and maintain their sailing boats. When I'm not fixing boats I also provide some own-boat sail training, help owners with deliveries and provide consultancy services to those that are refitting their own boats for cruising or racing. ****************************************************************************************************** Disclaimer - I hope that viewers both enjoy and learn something from my videos but please remember to take the appropriate precautions for any DIY refit works you undertake with appropriate PPE and the correct tools for the job. If you are in any way unsure as to how to go about a project or are unsure if something on your boat is safe please consult a professional. ****************************************************************************************************** Music credit - Bensound.com WyJa3i_ewRk |
