Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond

This week I interview . This is the third episode of what will probably be several episodes where we discuss the tools, materials and techniques of glass reinforced laminate's with Louis Martins a long time listener and boat builder located in Lisbon Portugal. In other words he is teaching us how to lay up graphite or fiberglass using mostly polyester or epoxy resins and fiberglass repair techniques.

If you buy or build a boat you're going to need to learn these techniques and while it's better to actually watch videos on this topic. Here you can at least get a head start in the terminology and the thought process of learning to use epoxy reinforced fiberglass, graphite or Kevlar and also using polyester resins with the same materials.

Here is some information on Nomex

In this episode Rory talks about his adventure sailing from Indonesia and we end at Sri Lanka.

This episodes is the second episode where I will be recording screen shots and uploading the video to Youtube

the youtube channes is: https://www.youtube.com/user/medsailordotcom and the link to this podcast is:

https://youtu.be/x6yR5CDu62g

This is from Rory's website http://www.roryandcookie.com/about.html

"In 1989 Rory McDougall had a dream. Inspired by Laurent Bourgnon who crossed the Atlantic in a Hobie 18 catamaran, Rory had the burning passion to sail around the world on the smallest catamaran and multihulled sailboat.

Rory tried for 2 years to get support and sponsorship to create a high-tech event to circumnavigate the world on an open-deck beach catamaran. Fantastic support came from TIMBERLAND, NORTH SAILS UK, RIGEL COMPASSES, BROOKES & GATEHOUSE in the form of products - but no boat to float them on!! In the end it made sense to choose a less extreme catamaran that had living space below and gave a low-tech and low-expense way of getting afloat. The Wharram Tiki 21 design was the perfect choice.
