Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Leo Goolden hauls Tally Ho, his rebuilt 1910 wooden sailboat, at Linton Bay Marina on Panama's Atlantic coast to repair reef and rock damage, repaint the hull, and address a clogged head hose.Watch

Keel damage from a mischarted rock in Canada deformed the lead in two places; Leo reshapes it with a power plane, primes it with Interprotect, and fills small divots with epoxy filler.0:35 Plank damage from a San Blas reef is mostly shallow and filled with epoxy, but two deeper gouges — each under 20% of the plank's cross-sectional area — get small graving pieces fitted in wood rather than solid epoxy, so the repair expands and contracts with the surrounding timber.0:44 Leo explains the 20% threshold: gouges exceeding that fraction require structural scarfed graving pieces with an 8-to-1 scarf glued to continue grain strength.7:51 A clogged toilet discharge hose, blocked with calcium buildup, gets replaced rather than cleaned.16:44 Local painters Carlos Torres and Julio handle hull prep and apply antifoul plus white topsides paint, but Panama's rainy season arrives mid-job, slowing cure times and adding extra sanding cycles.12:53 Leo also departs briefly to reset his three-month Panamanian visa.13:04 The 20% cross-section rule is the practical dividing line between a cosmetic graving piece and a structural repair.7:51
