Cosa tratta questo video

Restoring the 111-year-old sailing yacht Tally Ho requires precise hull preparation and painting to seal new planking and prevent moisture loss. To ensure the boat sits correctly on its lines, the crew uses a plumb bob from the deck beams to the keel and adjusts jack stands to level the hull fore-and-aft and athwartships.7:07 A water level projects the waterline from internal marks to the exterior, where it is taped off for painting.5:34 The team applies a rot-resistant orange primer below the waterline and a custom "Tally Ho Off-White" gloss paint from Kirby’s on the topsides.14:39 They choose softer, traditional paints over brittle two-part epoxies to accommodate the natural movement of the wooden planks.13:30 Seam filling is deferred until after the boat is moved to prioritize sealing the wood against shrinkage.18:47 The current paint layers serve as a base, with final coats and anti-fouling to be applied later.34:12
