That little wood stove is a "cubic mini". Made here in Canada. I put one in my boat 4 years ago. Just love it. Makes spring and fall sailing so enjoyable. I put a removable 2 foot length of insualted pipe above deck to assist in draw. You would not regret that purchase. The company was great. The owner is a sailor, and built one for his C&C, and thought others might like one... well yeah. He even called me to advise on my install... Come up the Great Lakes, I'll help you put one in.

Baz, as a fellow steel Van De Stadt owner, I just want to remind you that we are very fortunate to own some of the strongest and most seaworthy yachts ever designed and built. A small pin hole like that is actually nothing major, obviously ownership of a steel yacht is made significantly easier if you can weld and understand the characteristics of steel, but even if you don't somebody else will, pretty much anywhere. Even your mate's boat with a square foot of shelll plate missing is a minor, a bit of fabrication and welding and Bob's your aunt. Just for future reference, if you have a hole like that in your hull you're better off plug welding it from inside with C02 using a copper bus bar or brass/bronze backing plate on the outside of the hull, that will negate the requirement of a patch, I'd also recommend keeping some epoxy that will cure in water on board.......and learn how to weld, you could have saved yourself LOTS of money, there's not a job there I couldn't have done professionally with what I have aboard my chined Stadt 34' (carbon steel and stainless arc, MIG, TIG and plasma cutting equipment and ancillary equipment, along with stainless steel cleaning and polishing equipment) this is how I fund my boat and cruising. Fair winds brother, see you out there somewhere. PS my hull is also epoxy bitumen coated, it's incredibly strong and hard wearing. We both have very good strong and seaworthy yachts My insurance policy allows for 1 emergency haulout per annum all in, pretty much for these exact sets of circumstances

Glad to see Shaddy has a permanent patch on her bottom, now you can toss in a rubber water bladder and not worry about future rust down there...

When I sandblasted and painted offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, we used Dimetcote D9 zinc rich primer with 90% zinc content. It came as a liquid in a 5 gallon can and a separate 70 lb can of zinc powder. It worked fantastic for rust protection. We also use it on Corp of Engineer water projects like locks & dams, bulkheads, etc. I used it on my boat trailer and topped it with Amerlock 400 epoxy paint and the trailer lived outside in the weeds for 20 years staying rust free.

In the Navy we used a 2 part primer called Formula 150 polyamide epoxy. It was green and formed kind of a thick rubber like coating. When I first checked aboard one of my assigned spaces was in the aft starboard corner where the Nixie, a torpedo decoy, was towed from its real through two hatches through the aft end of the ship. I got real familiar with a needle gun, took the deck and bulkheads surrounding the hatches, and the hatches themselves down to bare metal, then painted on a couple nice thick coats of formula 150, then applied the topcoat a couple times. For years later when I left, the work looked as good as the day I finished that job. Had to be the Formula 150. Sealed the steel off from the elements tighter than a drum. Just got to the point on the video where he received the package. Very similar to the needle gun I used. They work real well.

Even if that hole popped at sea, it was contained within the tank. No doubt your tea will taste a bit shite, but the boat would stay afloat. I recall a steel boat coming out in Gib for some "pin-hole" repairs, ended up with 75% of its bottom plate being renewed.

We had a cruise ship on dry dock that had a partly riveted hull. A welder was idle after finishing a weld so he was just tapping the hull with his chipping hammer. Suddenly a big chunk of rust came loose and he could see the drydock floor through about a half inch hole. Lots of hurry up welding before ABS and the Coast Guard saw it.

What an absolutely brilliant episode Barry. It really summed up the cruising life - it's not all palm trees and bikinis! I know what you mean about saying goodbye to new friends, it is always hard to see someone you may have only known for a short while sail away. I think that, in part, it is the shared passion that bonds us so quickly and for the majority of cruisers the life is quite a frugal one so the shared knowledge and the willingness to get stuck in and help out is also a major factor in the community that builds up - especially when you spend longer in any one place as you have done in NZ.

Steel boats are great until they're not. I spent over four years on a steel boat called the USS John Rodgers (DD-983). We had an entire division of men dedicated to hull preservation. 😄 Never had any holes rust through. Formula 150 primer helped out with that. If I'm selecting a boat to sail round the world it's gonna be GRP. Aluminum is nice too but subject to being dissolved away by galvanic corrosion. So plastic it is. 🙂
