Episode 4 | Dufour 31 project | Rebuilding the mast without much knowledge! |

Hi Guys,

Welcome to my 1978 Dufour 31 (10m) project. I have traded this for my Sturgeon 22 ft (my first sailboat). This Dufour has been neglected for several years (4?) It's insanely dirty, disassembled, and not in her best shape. In the coming months, I'm going to bring her life back. I'm not a sailor, and I don't have much boat experience, so come with me on the adventure to see the progress. The goal is to be ready in the summer of 2023. I'll cover all kinds of various topics, to gain and share my knowledge and experiences.

In this video:
I am putting a few video's together as I have much content over a few days, all about the mast project. a project that I really underestimated. the costs, the time, it all adds up. have a look and hope you like it! ⛵⚙️🔧 Big thanks to @Zep Europe for sending me 2 huge boxes.
