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.▶ 0:00 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
