Thanks. Unfortunately they (=EU) have now stopped sales of that particular paint (polyurethane paint), which is bad. Glad I bought it prior to sales stop. :-)

Thanks, Clive. Yes, she looks a bit naked without the wood (and the rigging). The old teak was worn-out and partly rotten (!!!), so I am working to find a suitably replacement wood. Hard to get teak at a reasonably price here in Norway...!

@@hsobstad What did they use on the old boats of the past ...😉

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Mostly teak on the outside - and teak and mahogany on the inside. At least thats what I have learned.

@@hsobstad Im talking ancestors.... native built boats.. oak elm..

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Oh... Sorry! There I can only speak for some of what inspired the designers of the Fisher motorsailers, David Freeman and Gordon Wyatt. I have read that they took inspirations from the Norwegian built Colin Archer rescue boats from the naval architect with the same name, and the first built in 1893 (and is still in seaworthy condition). These were - as far as I know - made of oak. Later the outer skin were made of pine. The inspiration can be seen on the Fisher sterns, ketch-rigging with quite small mesan sail, relatively heavy internal ballast, and probably more. Not sure what was used in wooden boats in England at that time...

Thank you! 🙂

Thanks. It do looks good. At that point (ref. 4:48) at the stern of the boat, that was the last place to paint before completion and the paint had become a bit thick. If I had remembered to add some thinner the result might had been even better. A pro would have done that :-)

@@hsobstad My motto is, you don't have to be perfect at everything, as long as you can do everything and keep yourself busy, perfection will come naturally. "Practice makes perfect".

@@lutsifer5847 A good motto 👍

Thank you. It is really a balance of factors as time, costs and what is good enough for me.

Thanks. Great to read that feedback. :-)

Thanks. That paint is really glossy. I think she looks great from far away, but far from great up close. To me it is really a balance between actually finishing painting the boat or chasing the ultimate...

Thank you, Juan!

Thanks, Neville! Doing my best. :-)

Thanks. Best of luck with your work, Bradley!

Thanks. I feel good. Slightly inflamed right arm, but otherwise great.

Me too! :-)

Thanks. The Fisher boats are well known for their seaworthiness. I have yet to experience actually sailing my Fisher though.... :-)

Thanks for your kind comment. Looking forward to finish restoring and then actually sail this boat. :-)

What kind of color did you go with?

@@michaeloliver1038 Hi ... they were able to mix a color similar to the Bootlak #4 (rather like a golden tan with a hint of a bit of green). Works better than the original buff gelcoat. Hard to apply tho ... but tough as nails! Cheers ... Tom

@@michaeloliver1038 ...and this Fisher is International Perfection polyurethane; Mauritius Blue on the hull and Cream on the superstructure.

Thanks Marty

Thank you, Michael. I will try. A bit more of a hazzle when winter comes... ;-)

Thank you! :-)

Thank you, Michael! 🙂

Yes, there was osmosis. See previous video, Fisher 30 Northeaster - Restoring a motorsailer - Part 2

Thanks. Yes, sorry for that. Very amateurish of me! In the later videos I talk more and have less text. Still simple videos, made for fun and the sharing of information.

@@hsobstad thank you
