What this video covers
Rhys applies three to four coats of varnish to interior wood panels on Yacht Zora, noting that sanding with progressively finer grits from P60 to P400 produces a superior finish.0:14 After completing the woodwork, he addresses an engine idling issue by adjusting the grub screw on the throttle linkage to increase the idle speed.2:59 He warns against engaging the engine in gear while in a shallow bucket, as the propeller spray floods the workspace.5:08 The restoration project also includes removing old, flaking anti-fouling paint from the hull.5:26 He uses a solid paint scraper to strip the loose layers down to a smooth base, planning to sand, clean, and re-coat the entire underside of the waterline in stages to manage the labor-intensive process.5:54 Proper surface preparation and incremental work prevent the task from becoming overwhelming.6:37
