Been with you since the very beginning, and it's so cool to see that big aluminum plate repair from Season 1 still holding fast. You went from despair to repair!!! I'm so glad for that, Nike.

Wow, I remember being SO worried about the stick welding back then...and also some years later about the over plating between the hulls...Can`t say that I am not still constantly checking for water in the bilge...but at least I feel less devestated when it happens, hehehe. Thanks for sticking around for such a long time

Glad Karl's hull is looking much better. I'm sure his sailing performance will reflect the hard work you put in. You know, we all have to take a break, reflect, and reset once in a while. So proud you choose (present tense) to live this life! You are a great source of information, and more importantly inspiration, to all who watch! I pray that good things will happen for you. God bless you !

I’ve often anchored and cleaned the hull only because the marina’s water seems pretty dirty with so many using there toilets, it looks that way anyways. But found the growth returns twice as fast after, self eroding anti-foul once scrubbed a few times no longer seemed effective. Hull work is ok once you get into it and with a good set of earphones accompanying😁 Glad to see you focused on what you originally set out to do 👍 Sanding’s good for the soul 😆

Hi John, Karl is a Reinke Super 10. I did a little tour waaaaay back then kzitem.info/news/bejne/23mpspejsnaqZ4o I think it might be time to do a fresh walk through, though ;). Let me know if you have any other questions

Love your videos. I been watching them for sometime now. I have almost the same boat. I have a super 11 twin keel but mine is a steel hull. I just did my hull below the water line and took it down to bare steel as the hull was not properly prepared by the previous owner. Took me 3 full weeks. What a project. I do all my own work also. Great to see you back at it again. Maybe one day I get mine back in the water. 😊

Three months!! I had forgotten Karl had bilge keel, nice! I love you I love Karl, I love Boga and I love your channel. Have you ever calculated the cost of being on the hard for three months doing all the work, versus having the boat on the hard for a month with paying shipwrights and yard workers to help you out? I have the added cost of paying for a slip so when Laysan is on the hard I still have to pay for the slip but still would paid labour to "get the job done" be cheaper than staying on the hard ( with all associated costs) for so long? Oh, I LOVEE your smile at 02:45. 🙂 Cheers, a.

Karl is lucky to have someone who cares enough to do their very best for him! Thanks for caring & sharing! (That’s what he said!) Yes I too didn’t know Karl was all soft metal below the waterline & a twin keel! He must sit level & proud in extreme low tide occasion when you allow him to sit on the bottom? Have you done that? A walk through would also be nice yes! More success 2U girl!

I am also super lucky to have a boat that gives me a little nudge of a reminder what needs to be taken care of and that is patient with me ;). About the twin keels: yeah, taken adventage of that many times already. Looks like you missed a couple of episodes there, hey? ;))) Beached him a couple of times for cleaning the hull and inspection kzitem.info/news/bejne/l5uf3IuunqdefII Even did a complete paint job between tides ;) kzitem.info/news/bejne/rG6L3KJssGV9p20

years ago, when on the hard, Karl needed some AL welding on hull to repair leakes. Have you kept a "map" of these spots and were you able to assess their condition now ? Do you think Karl's hull has a finite lifetime ? What % has been used up to now ?
