What this video covers
The Young Son 50, a sailboat undergoing a multi-year refit in Guatemala, features new through-hulls and a fresh topside paint job. The yard applied a primer and an oil-based paint to the brass portholes and cap rails, though the owner notes the finish on the cap rail requires further drying to address trapped moisture. The crew plans to use compressed air to clear the cavity within the cap rail before finalizing the application of Coppercoat antifouling paint. The refit also includes new tinted windows and deck work designed to eliminate previous leaks. The stainless steel hardware remains on the boat, with the owner considering future electro-polishing to smooth the metal and improve corrosion resistance. The vessel remains in the yard while the final stages of the exterior restoration are completed.
