On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle we dodge one weather system after another while still making big strides on our hardtop for our 435 catamaran SV ...

so what we have

here right now guys is teal

laying down that first layer of barrier

coat

i don't know why i'm i'm talking really

softly because i feel like one of those

hosts on a nature show but you have to

talk very soft

so you don't scare your prey or your

subject away

for this time if i talk too loud maybe t

will find an

imperfection and he'll stop what he's

doing and he'll start

sanding again

you know that's happened we've caught

him many times so do you guys remember

when teal noticed a couple imperfections

in the bootstrap and he said he would

live with it and

he didn't have time to go back and fix

it well he lied

the worst of it was right here for some

reason there's just this

spot of about six or eight feet right

through here

that i don't know what i did it doesn't

look bad at a glance it's under the boat

so

it doesn't bother me well i'm lying it

bothers me

i would love to redo it at this point

but i can't i got to keep moving

we got too much to do he's so lied

because

that's exactly what he did hey

what are you doing both out of the water

this is the time to fix it it only took

me a few minutes to fix this

really okay it took me a couple minutes

but it's done and you sleep much better

now right

i will sleep much better i am done i

promise you

we have been crazy busy leading up to

this day

it's been a wild few days of sanding and

fairing and laying that last layer of

cloth

and this time it's so satisfying because

this is the first of two layers of

barrier coat

and it's looking good

it's looking so good

so not only were we busy getting all

this prep for paint

we also were hit with some crazy weather

we had diablo winds the last two nights

it was wild

brutal night all night

stuff

so i clamped this down last night i knew

the wind was coming

i don't want this thing flying away

we're still under 150 pounds so

it's pretty light

looks like this wind's gonna pick up

and hold the rest of the egg

i mean look at this

we decided that we're going to do two

layers of barico at this point

before we flip it over and work on the

top side

there's a few reasons why we decided to

do this one being that we wanted to

protect

the uh the top from any uv

damage and having two layers of berry

coat will

kind of help with that we're not going

to actually do the

the final painting until we install it

onto our hard top because teal

is going to be doing a little bit more

glass work when he

seams the hard top into our main cabin

so it doesn't make sense for us to paint

it then sand it back down

we're in the home stretch baby so close

[Music]

[Music]

what teal's doing right now is he's

alternating between the gray and the

white

with the barrier coat just so we can see

if we've missed any spots

and this locks in that gray right teal

locking it in hopefully this is the last

coat and then we can

flip this baby over and assess the top

side

is it i hope so no i'm pretty sure it is

it's gonna look good we just have a

little bit more

um fine tuning or detail work

to do and then we can do the same thing

that we're doing on this side

but man it is looking good

[Music]

[Music]

we feel like such the baby in the yard

today

we have a 25 foot beam but check out

these other two

cats that are in the yard here's a

30-foot beam

and a 35-footer 35-foot beam on this one

[Music]

okay with a hard top sitting next to the

boat

i've now modified our structure

because as we flip it i need to make

room for that light soffit so everything

is raised by five and a half inches and

i put some little pads on here

just to keep it from marring up the

surface

so let's get this thing flipped

[Music]

okay here it is it's new home for a

little while

what's nice is we're almost done with

this we've already got three layers of

cloth on here

this is the first look i've had at our

rain catch

so i'll be able to clean this up today

and i need to

sand it smooth and add a an inside

cove to this

[Music]

okay i really have to pay attention to

the order of

the next few processes i want to put a

fillet on the inside of this combing

but if i did that now i wouldn't be able

to

router the radius on the top of this i'm

going to stick with this same radius

here but i'm going to put it both on

this edge and this

edge with the combing in there

i just would not have enough clearance

[Music]

so now what i need to do is touch sand

the inside of this now that i've cleaned

it up with my multi-tool get this all

nice and clean

i do have a little bit of epoxy work to

do on

this 1x2 i'll do that tonight

let that harden up and we'll router this

first thing in the morning

[Music]

and here's the epoxy work i need to do

i'll mix up some

thickened epoxy and i'm going to push it

into these curves

i want this to be really smooth when i

run that router over it

i don't want it skipping and turning so

we'll get that done tonight that way

i'll be all set to router in the morning

after this is all radiused i could run

my fillet

[Music]

days like this i feel so out of source

because it was so

busy us flipping that top and it just

turned out so good i'm just so happy

about that

and so we were just we were just busy

the day just kind of flew on by

but it's time for dinner so teal's down

there on his own and i snuck up here

to prep everything luckily i already

pre-made

our ribs earlier today in our pressure

cookers

that took a lot of the pressure off now

all i have to do is do the sides

and make the sauce for the ribs tonight

is going to be a little different i'm

going to switch it up a little bit

and i'm going to make korean barbecue

ribs

but instead of putting it over rice or

or something else i'm going to put it in

these little chinese buns

that will be kind of fun and we're going

to do an asian slaw with my

own vinaigrette so it should be really

nice

and easy dinner times are always really

fun for us

just because this is the time at the end

of the day that we just kind of sit down

enjoy a nice meal even though we're on

the hard yes it is a little bit harder

to do

but having that extra effort so that we

can just kind of decompress

really makes it all worthwhile

[Music]

i'm almost done with my sauce one of the

things is that you don't have time

because typically you marinate the

korean barbecue ribs for

24 hours to 48 hours is you make it into

a sauce you pre-cook the meat

and then you can pan fry it and it still

gives you that full flavor which is

[Music]

amazing

and with the slaw it's just shredded

cabbage

and some extra vegetables like carrots

and such and i always add my spring mix

in

and my vinaigrette the vinaigrette is

killer because i add

extra versailles chili i like it very

spicy

and with the with the chinese buns it

only takes 10 minutes to steam up

and you are all set so all together

it'll take about half an hour and we

will be ready to sit down and eat

hey guys dig in okay

[Music]

i'm making a mess

[Music]

teal is now doing a little touch sanding

from the epoxy work that we did

yesterday

and then at that point we can start

routering the edges

so that we can do our inside fillet

hey

so

okay the fillet is complete you can't

see it but there's 51

lineal feet of it coming all the way

around the perimeter here

and i've bagged it up took a little

extra caution

put extra clamps down bungee cords i

even

put weights all over this and that's for

good reason

the next storm going to be hitting us

tonight again it's just starting to

build

going to be torrential rains this time

not just the wind

they're talking 45 mile per hour winds

gusting to 60 in some areas hopefully we

don't get that

but it's coming from a different

direction it's coming out of the south

southeast

so it'll be hitting us on our nose so

we'll see maybe it'll feel more

comfortable i guess time will tell

everybody's trying to batten their boats

down we're in good shape we've already

prepared

so we're just gonna ride this one out

inside

sounds like it's coming quick though
