1. Assessing the Damage: Exploring the Extent of the Interior Cracking
In our latest adventure on Expedition Evans, we find ourselves in the midst of assessing the extent of the interior cracking on our newly acquired dream boat. As we begin the process of dismantling and inspecting, we are met with a pleasant surprise. On the port side, there is no visible damage, a relief amidst our initial concerns. The majority of the cracking seems to be concentrated towards the starboard side.
To gain a deeper understanding of the damage, our next step is to carefully remove the gel coating to further evaluate the situation. This means we have to tackle the project on both the starboard and port side. Currently, our couch is obstructing our progress, so we are in the process of disassembling it to clear the way for a thorough examination. As we dismantle the couch piece by piece, we are pleasantly surprised to find that the furnishings are not as securely glued down as we anticipated, making our task slightly easier.
With the couch successfully disassembled, we now have a clearer view of the overall scope of the damage. Our next step is to gauge the magnitude of the project at hand. However, considering our initial findings, we remain cautiously optimistic that the repairs may not be as extensive as we initially feared. As we embark on this challenging yet transformative journey, we invite you to join us on Expedition Evans and witness the restoration of our dream boat, brick by brick, and sail by sail.
2. Disassembling the Couch: Determining the Scope of the Restoration Project
Previously on Expedition Evans, Brett and Jade embarked on their goal to sail around the world. After downsizing and finding their dream boat in a wrecked condition, they are now ready to start the restoration process. They begin by disassembling the couch to determine the scope of the project.
To start, Brett removes the table and its legs, making it easier to access the floorboard. With the cushions and boards removed, he starts evaluating the damage. Surprisingly, most of the cracking is located towards the starboard side, while the port side shows no visible damage. To get a better understanding of the extent of the damage, they will need to cut out the gel and inspect further.
Now, the focus shifts to disassembling the couch. Brett wonders if it is simply bolted and screwed in or if it is glued down. This becomes his current project—assessing the complexity of removing the couch and determining the overall scale of their restoration project. With step one of cleaning the van complete, Brett plans to return it and find a mailbox before continuing with his investigation.
Despite initial concerns about glued-down furnishings on their boat, Brett’s in-person investigation reveals minimal evidence of glue so far. He discovers a few areas where pieces of wood are definitely glued together, but overall, disassembling the couch seems feasible. Brett decides to document the entire process on film, just in case. This will be crucial as they move forward with determining the extent of the restoration project.
3. Challenges and Solutions: Overcoming Potential Difficulties in Removing Furnishings
In our journey to restore and rebuild our dream boat, we have encountered numerous challenges in removing the furnishings. However, we have found creative solutions to overcome these potential difficulties.
One of the main challenges we faced was the disassembly of the table. To make storage easier, we decided to take apart the table and remove the legs. With a little bit of effort and some masking tape, we successfully disassembled the table and removed it from the area. This allowed us to assess the extent of the damage and plan our next steps.
Another challenge arose when it came to the couch. We knew that most of the damage was located on the starboard side, but the couch was obstructing our access. We had to determine whether it was simply bolted or screwed in, or if it was glued down. Through careful investigation, we found that although some pieces of wood were glued together, the overall attachment was not as challenging as we had initially anticipated. With a determined mindset, we began the process of dismantling the couch, confident in our ability to successfully remove it.
Despite the initial concerns about potential difficulties in removing the furnishings, our in-person investigation has shown that the task is not as daunting as we expected. By taking a creative approach and utilizing our problem-solving skills, we have found ways to tackle the challenge head-on. With each item that we dismantle, we are one step closer to restoring our dream boat and embarking on our greatest expedition yet.

4. Documenting the Process: Filming the Couch Disassembly for Reference and Troubleshooting
In this episode of Expedition Evans, Brett and Jade start their disassembly process by tackling the couch. They have never taken up the floorboard before, so they decide to disassemble the table first to make it easier to store. With the legs removed, they successfully lift the floorboard, revealing minimal damage on the port side. They take note of the cracks on the starboard side and decide to assess the full extent of the damage by cutting out the gel.
Moving on to the couch, Brett begins the disassembly by removing the cushions and boards. He plans to load everything into a tote and move it to a different room to create space. The couple suspects that most of the damage is located on the starboard side, obstructed by the couch. Brett is determined to find out if the couch is simply bolted and screwed in or if it is glued down. His primary objective at the moment is to determine the scale of the project and hopefully proceed with the repairs.
With some online research suggesting that removing the couch can be challenging due to glue, Brett is pleasantly surprised to find little evidence of adhesive during his in-person investigation. Although he identifies a few glued sections, he believes he has figured out a strategy to disassemble the couch successfully. To document the process and provide a reference for future troubleshooting, Brett decides to film the entire disassembly. This way, he can review the footage if needed and share their experience with other sailors facing similar challenges.
