Boat Plans Bartender | DBYS News Letter

Boat Plans Bartender


In March I put out the first newsletter for DBYS. This will be a bimonthly newsletter of findings and information related to the marine industry. Here is the first issue of the newsletter.

Issue 1

 

 

Detecting trapped moisture around embedded chainplates
In October I was asked by Beth Leonard of Boat US if Thermal Imaging could help determine the condition of embedded chainplates. I had not tried, but I am always up for a challenge!

It did work to detect trapped moisture. Should you remove youre chainplates if trapped moisture is found? My answer is yes! Although it does not always mean you will find corrosion, but I would hope you would sleep better at night, I know I would.

For more information on using thermal imaging on chainplate inspections read my blog. I will posting information on the inspections later this week.

Boat US did an alert in their Sea Worthy Magazine about embedded chainplates, to read click below.

Chainplate Inspections

In the last newsletter I reported on my use of thermal imaging for the inspection of embedded/glassed in chainplates. I have conducted more inspections over the past two months with good results. To read more about these inspections, go to my blog: http://dbmarinesurveyor.blogspot.com/2014/05/more-glassed-inembedded-chainplates.html






Boating Safety


One of the busiest boating weekends has passed 
and the summer boating season has started throughout the country. 
All boaters should not only pay close attention to the condition of their boats systems when commissioning their boat in the spring, but all summer long. 
This does not only include maintaing your 
engine/engines, but all of your hoses, thru-hull valves, electrical connections, lifelines, rigging, and ensuring all of your safety gear is up to date. Here is a link for the USCG requirements:

Capsize!


This was the title of one of the best articles I have read in Professional Boat Builder Magazine. The article was written by yacht designer Dudley Dix.
 I have built and sailed on Dudleys boats and own one. 
Not only is he a very talented designer, he is also a
 amateur builder, and experienced racer. 
If you are in the industry you can get a subscription to Pro Boat here: http://www.proboat.com/table-of-contents-149

Metal Boat Festival 2014

 
The metal boat festival: The board members have been busy planning this years Metal Boat Festival. We have a good line up of speakers for this year. My talk this year will be on paint systems for metal boats.
More info on the speakers and topics can be found here:

http://metalboatsurveyor.blogspot.com/2014/05/metal-boat-festival-2014-program.html

http://www.metalboatsociety.com/festivalInfo.htm

If interested in metal boats, this is the place to be. I can not think of a better place to be in August than Annacortes, Washington, the home of the Metal Boat Festival. A scenic ferry ride will take you to the San Juan Islands.  If you are coming to the Festival plan on a trip to the San Juan Islands, you will not be disappointed.





Spring Metal Boat Quarterly Interview

 
My first interview for a series I am doing for the  Metal Boat Quarterly was with writers/cruising sailors, Beth Leonard and Evans Starzinger. I will be posting my interviews on my Metal Boat Blog after they are released in the Metal Boat Quarterly.
