Hello All,
I regularly discover Youtube sailing channels that feature a Bavaria yacht and it would not surprise me if they are the most popular yacht brand on Youtube. So I thought it might be a good idea to post our discoveries on a thread for all to enjoy. Please add yours!
I will start with Kari "Ruffe" Nurmi a Finnish skipper on a Bavaria 300.

Hi Salty Lass,
I saw your “You Tube” video about your crazed portlights, can I suggest you have a read of an article posted within this forum in the “Modifications and Equipment” section under the heading of “Crazed Portlights and Hatches.” It might just answer your problem.
Hope it works
Salty.

I've started documenting the pre-season maintenance tasks on our Bavaria 36 (2002 J&J) with a view to doing a series of weekend sails for beginners and charter folks in the Solent - mainly as thats something I wish we had seen when we bought our first boat.
Given the amount of advice and help from forums like this, it feels only right to pay something back.
Do not watch if a less than photogenic fat bloke whining about the weather isnt your cup of tea :o

Thanks, that was enjoyable to watch. We both thought the toilet swap was a great example of how sometimes boat projects progress from "I'll just do this simple job today" to hunting down extra parts and hacking holes into things a week later ;D

It takes some patience to watch Tino G, English not being his first language, but I have learned so much from his technical videos that I've been able to apply to my 2007 30 Cruiser which is almost identical to his yacht. I'm very appreciative of the time he puts in, and his skills at holding the camera while tightening or loosening screws!

That was rather interesting! I watched the two episodes of the keel repair and also the one before where they noticed something was wrong and diverted to the Cape Verdes.
They've done the entire job one stringer at a time at anchor. Shows what is possible with a bit of ingenuity and willpower. Excellent stuff.
The other interesting bit was that the damage was not from grounding, but from a previous bodged keel removal where the yard had apparently understimated the strength of the methacrylate glue and ripped the keel off the hull during removal with such force that the tabbing delaminated. All because they had a small leak from the forward most keelbolt ::)
P.S.: They're Italians from South Tyrol (Alto Adige) - an odd little region in northernmost Italy where people speak German with an Austrian dialect, but aren't Germans at all :))

Indeed, very interesting videos! And looks like they did a great job, especially taking into account it's at anchor.
One can only guess the "quality" of the earlier repair, which sounds like it did much more harm than good. Maybe the yard just took a big enough hammer and hit the keel bolts until the keel fell of... Would explain the damages and also the bolts (above nuts) seem much shorter than what I have seen with that era Bavarias - perhaps the yard cut the tops off. The torque cannot also have be even remotely correct as they managed get the nuts off with that spanner.
One thing that comes into my mind from this video is the importance of having a sufficient capacity inverter on board when doing extended cruising, especially out of the beaten path. This allows one to use all the necessary power tools, such as angle grinder in this case, even at anchor. Need to save some money for a Victron Multiplus... :)

How is your inner forestay setup?
-
Hi Happy afloat , pleased you liked the movies.
The inner forestay is not exactly an inner forestay, but something made up from accumulated boat bits in my garage. This is an old strong weather Kevlar North jib, 29 ft luff, which my sailmaker converted from Hanks to luff furling, laced down by Dyneema chordage to an old luff furler from a larger boat, fastened to a short 8mm Dyneema bridle fastened to the aft side anchor locker bulkhead, (upper, just below the deck thru the gap of the hatch recess) on a hard eye thimble. A luff furling strong weather jib for closehauled. We furl the Genoa & set this.
