Re your loose bulkheads, this Pearson was one of the early production boats built with internal liners and bulkhead slots. At the time this was a great saver of time and money. Which meant these boats could be available to the ordinary sailors!
It was never built or expected to last 50 years! ( as you found out when you discovered the , eh, loose keel!)
So please have a little respect for the $5.00/ hr fiberglass workers that built these boats to a tight budget! I know I was one of them! (Different factory).
Love this crazy project!
Cheers Warren
hey boat builder here, if you want to cut down on the smell DO NOT use the PVC white sanitation hose, use Trident Sani hose #101 or equivalent.. its much more expensive, but the PVC stuff permeates with in a year of use "starts to smell" and the other hose take much longer "6 - 10 years to smell". love your stuff and keep it comin.
I’m so glad that you guys are brave enough to tackle this project. I’m even more glad that I’m not doing it and just watching.
I am doing it AND watching 😅
What choice do they have? They didn't buy a couch..They bought a hole in the water to through the money in.
@@TheJdeft1 Better than sitting in front of the TV patiently waiting to die
YOUNG enough!
Highly recommend painting the inside of the exposed hull with bilge paint for easier cleanup/maintenance..
This guy _bilges_
The demo is almost done, and then the interior can be efficiently painted and outgassed all at once. In the case UMA, we know the results will be amazing.
i'm sure I'm not the only one to mention this, but the head and galley are usually on opposite sides of the boat so that there is a physical separation between the intake of raw water and the outlet of sewage. Maybe something to consider when you're putting it all back together.
We bought a 100 year old property with a house and 5 outbuildings and started a winery. We immediately fixed thing and after 10 years re-fixed them properly when we knew what we were doing. Loved your take on re-building the re-build. Following you guys for the last 4 years!
Its nice to see some of the problems are going away, nice to have friends.
Uma is the ONLY channel I follow where I don’t skip through the paid promotion!! ❤
Yes… they’re so creative and funny!
... and never seen a better promotion - like: professional 🤣
Me too👍😂
She does a really good job with them.
When times are tough you two brighten my day. Thanks.
Great progress! For the record, you guys, and Adam from Professor of Rock do the best Ads for your sponsors. You guys in particular, have the cameo routine using Kika2 so wired. The video is realistic as heck and her interaction/timing with herself is about as pro as it gets. Too cool.
I love your sense of humour and appreciate you keeping us updated on your progress or the lack there of!
That is the BEST commercial EVER!! I’ve seen a lot lately. I usually FF through them!! Absolutely most creative and fun commercial EVER💞💞
Your camera placement and work behind it along with the flawless editing is amazing. And I watched ALL of your hilarious Better Help ad.
I've never seen you guys so excited to fix all these "problems". Your boat is going to be soooooo quiet and smooth to sail. Good luck!
RIP IT UP Uma is in good hands with one of the rare couple with an harmonious balance of power! Most other sailing couple definitely have a boss and a silent (or silenced) follower !
Maybe this is the secret that keeps Uma's videos still original and innovative after so long.
This is the most insightful comments ever on TH-cam sailing couples!
Been following y'all for years and I'm always excited to see your adventures. This has to be on of the biggest undertakings with Uma. I can't wait to see her sailing again with the redesign. Y'all rock!
I am also watching a house renovation (rebuilding at this point) project by Laura Kampf and it feels sooo similar to this.
The motivation and bliss in the beginning, the realisation that everything is way worse than thought, the resignation in the middle and then the acceptance that this is just a chance to do it right and get the living space of your dreams with no problems left to bite you in the long run. It is really cool to wacth!
WOW, you lucked into a temporary home and wheels. The demo is moving along and you have a place to store your stuff. Congratulations. I hope the rest of the demo goes well and the rebuild also. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I remember watching Dan and Kika build that sink. What a clever design. I'm looking forwards to seeing what the new head looks like.
There is nothing more relaxing than watching someone who is working! 😜👍
Thanks, guys! 😎👍
The follow up to your earlier DIY projects is fascinating. So much to learn from previous work and exciting how you now have an opportunity to improve and make things right for you!
I so look forward to your new videos these days. I love your travel and personalities but I really enjoy the do-it-yourself remodeling of your classic sailboat. It's going to be amazing when you're done!
I can't wait to see how much more awesome uma becomes
Kika makes the channel's advertisements very enjoyable to watch - rather than fast forwarding!
Literally liked the video just for the flawless ad integration
Fully agree. I wish that all advertisements would be so entertaining!
It was funny and effective 👍
It’s the small things that makes you happy. We have a trash can that slides across the floor every time we step on the pedal to open it. I used your rubber band idea and it doesn’t move anymore.love your videos. Still thinking you need a new boat.
Great adjusting & FLOWING with LIFE! Thanks for letting us along for your wonderful living adventure
We just bought a 35ft cruiser with overboard discharge toilet and raw water flush. The boat was mainly used in salt water and Like you said, the combination of human excrement and salt water is no joke. We tried to clean the toilet but the yellow scale line in the bowl was not very impressed when we tried to get rid of it and just stayed. So I decided to pump the bowl dry, wet toilet paper with pure vinegar and drape it over the yellow scale ring. Left it for a few hours, took out the paper and started scrubbing with a scotchbrite. It started to fade very little after a lot of elbow grease so I again put down wet vinager paper and let it sit for again a few hours. More scrubbing, more soaking, more scrubbing. And finally after a full day it gave way and we have a shiny toilet bowl again. Since we have the boat in sweet water I guess that was the last time we saw this yellow ring in the bowl and also are free of bad odor from now on. Keep it up. Great video with humor too. Can'not wait to see what you will design.
I remember when you installed that bathroom and drop down sink. Y'all were so proud and happy with it!
It was hard to remove because you did such a good job putting it in.
Cardboard makes a good templating media. CAD - Cardboard Aided Design (as Matts' Off Road Recovery has said).
I am excited to see your rebuild of Ulma.
I'm so glad the commercials are back
What great Creative filming of a Life Issue with SUPPORT of a therapist… A free PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT !!
Jeez!!!! I admire you two. You're an inspiration to a 55 year old who now has to downscale Goa retirement village. Keep it up!!!! I've been following \watchi g you sine you aquired beloved Uma 😊
backing up a little motorhome is a piece of cake. I am not a sailor but play with a truck and travel trailer. From the back of the bike rack to the front bumper of the truck 61 feet. It is so much fun to back into a tight boondocking site. Love your design ideas and your adventures. Keep up the good work.
Enjoy your channel - cool to see you guys saving Uma - she is wonderful.
You are amazing, never boring. Dan, your tutorials on mechanical and structural is so simple and easy to follow
Another amazing video of DIY! You two really love UMA for all that you are doing. Kudos to you both.
🤣🤣First, a storage unit without an elevator....UGHHHH!!!! Second, great commercial plug. Love that!
So many feels. (a) I live on Quadra Island, BC and it makes me smile every time I see Nanaimo next to Uma on your stern. (b) Kika rules for that ad insert. I've said it before and I'm saying it again, the consistent creativity of your storytelling and activities is what keeps me coming back. (c) Your demo/build explainers are a huge value to me as another boat owner. At the very best, they help with navigating the design and build decisions to be made. At the very least I know the nasty stuff in my bilges is not unique to my boat. Thank you so much! Love you guys and rock on!
I have always loved your design and build projects. (I also like your sailing adventures). But I'm so excited to see more of these types of videos. Good luck!
The sponsorship commercial you did was amazing ...I thought it was very funny and entertaining
Great job on the making of the videos and all the takes and cuts it was amazing. I thought I was watching a tv show called this old boat . Spin off of this old house . Again great job guys keep it up.
Wow.... this is quite the project! But, glad some of the logistics are coming together to buy you the time and space to make it all work! Looking forward to seeing the plans come together again.
Both of you did a great job on your Rebuild and rebuilding again, can't wait to see you top that which I have no doubt that you will !!!! Stay safe and even through it's hard work, enjoy the journey! Thank you for taking us along!
Love your shows , Ive been watching for ages , your shows are not only entertaining but very informative , well done .
I enjoyed the video as always. I also love the role-playing. The alternative characters are always a pleasant surprise. The interior boat building is again as educational and interesting as the first-time videos.
im not going to lie.. love how you fit your ad's into the video...
I highly recommend the dometic ball valve style toilets, very simple setup with a foot pedal that lifts to add water and goes down to flush. Easy seal replacement, negligible water consumption and believe you could run a three way ball valve to select fresh water in port, salt water on long passages. My wife and I could go a week or more with a 35 gallon black water tank on our 46 Grand Banks. Really loving the refit videos!
Great to see how this project gives you guys new "know-how", and the best ting really is that you dident just buy a new boat!
Wow, after seeming the lack of FG Tabing went back and looked at The Day 10 crossing "Biggest Waves... Step 192.10" and was amazed at the rattling and creaking. Glad you have the opportunity to now make your ship sound. But, knowing you two, you will have a creak and rattle recording to listen to while sleeping to feel you are on the real Uma! Thanks for sharing many enjoyable hours of pleasant watching!
Redoing as a younger me ! Thank you for the valued recall that will help so many others do it better than they would have without some words of wisdom from individuals such as you! Great job taking us all along for your ride! A tip of the hat to you! Looking forward to the major refit from from a well educated pair who, if I recall, didn't like the visual lines of the life lines. You are doing wonderful things with your life and what a joy to be able to pass it on to us and the future you. This is what we did! Tools, gotta love them. Pivoting head with offset knobs for the head sink. I look forward to your idea's and creations.
I usually HATE inbedded ads, but this time,
I laughed out loud! Kika, PLEASE do this for
every other TH-camr. Start with "makers,"
since that is most of what I watch. (Like
you guys.)
steve
We do salt water rinse for everyday use and fresh water for when we leave it for a while. No smell of the head.
You really rebuild your boat from scratch. Like this a lot of flaws can be eliminated. Your boat will be very unique after and very sophisticated. You will even get rid of some kilos maybe. It looks like you can’t use much from the previous interior. Very interesting project. I understand why you don’t want to buy an other one.
Uma should be a Commercial comedic Writer. She is hilarious😂! Hard to watch Uma be torn apart but it is necessary to restore her. You 2 are so brave to take her apart like a boat surgeon. She is in loving hands. Blessings.
Uma is the boat. Kika is the person
To use you fix a piece of cardboard or plywood in the plain of the bulkhead you want to add. Hold the stick against the cardboard placing the point of the stick at a point along the hull. Draw a line on the cardboard along the notched side of the stick. Repeat at the next point.
I first heard of it from my brother who was a line foreman at a boat building company. He learned it from an old guy he worked with.
In the last year or two several sites have popped up on the internet that explain it better than I. They also have pictures, which helps a lot.
Looking forward to seeing your final design.
If you are shifting to fresh water flush AND you recognise the plumbing issues with the sink - maybe combine both ideas. There are products on the market which is essentially a toilet with cistern flush and the top of the cistern is a sink that drains into the cistern to provide the toilet flush.
D&K Really enjoying all the refit content. You are doing a great job explaining the reasoning and showing the issues you are trying to solve with the project. Sometimes it takes longer and even can cost more to do it yourself the right way, but you gain so much more experience and knowledge along the way, it has to be worth it. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the design. The elements in the existing design were great (Head, FIreplace Nook, Crazy Susan) so I imagine the next phase will be even more awsome.
Heya Dan - pro plumber here. The best shower set up is just a shower head on a flexi hose slide mounted on a vertical rail. I've fitted and tried every other type. Beware of these posh selector type set ups. Most just hold stagnant water for months, then people spray it on themselves when they meddle with the settings.... Ugh. No. You must have access to any connections that might require service also, (if you do not wish to waste your time and painstaking work). Very best regards, and I have every confidence!!
it might be too late or not... but you can make it so you use the shower head in the sink also.... the sink would tuck up under where the shower head is and then when you need the sink you pull that out and then move the shower head lower... just an idea for you all... happy sailing/land living
I intentionally sailed from Palma to Alghero through a mistral that was pretty consistently 45 knots but that was with a good crew of 18 people on an old 67ft Challenge yacht with a steel hull. Was a wet and wild three days though :)
The boat design was built structurally sound and designed by engineers. I would encourage Dan to learn more about why bulkheads are better loosely anchored rather than completely glued in. It’s the same reasons why houses aren’t built airtight. The same reasons why bridges and skyscrapers sway. If you glass in the bulkheads all around the sides of the haul and ceiling floor, you will create a brittle structure. It will break like a fault line in an earth quake.
Interesting comment. Can you please provide some sources of supporting information?
If that were true, then every boat would be built this way. But they're not. In fact every boat we've been able to dig into has much more structure than ours. And every bulkhead is fully glassed to the hull with Sikaflex attaching the deck. These production boats like ours were built to a deadline and budget and for people who don't actually sail very far. Just like your typical camper van is only meant for flat asphalt, and as soon as you take them down a bumpy gravel road, things start to fall apart.
Happy you guys have your accommodations and transportation problems solved. The demolition continues while new plans are considered. Attaching the bulkheads will definitely make Uma stronger enjoying watching it all take shape.
I never watch sponsor segments of videos except for yours because they show your creativity and they are also entertaining.
First, I am extremely pleased that you decided to tackle the all the problems with Uma , upgrade and keep her.... I think she's worth it and I know you do too.. she's going to be awesome when you're done and you'll know it's done right....
Second, I almost died laughing when Kika found her other self in the storage unit...lol
Loved the sponsor ad, and I've never said that before!
I have been fortunate enough to have been following you from the word go and you both never seize to amaze me - you are exceptional and extremely talented.
The determination you have shown to make this project work, is truly commendable; I cannot wait to see the outcome. I have no doubt that you will end up
with the yacht of your dreams. Cheers from OZ
True pex plumbing vs copper is superior. Looking good!
what an enormous amount of work. Great job. You guys have taken so much stuff out of the boat, have filled a storage unit, and still have so much stuff in the boat..lol. It's like the Tardis. haha. love it. great job!!! oh, and WOW, was that creaking loud!!!!
The split-Kika-clips are gettting better and better. I can not remember having enjoyed a commercial this much ever...
beautiful, unbelievably creative
The way you are configuring here is exactly how my Spencer 42 is setup with a starboard side head.
Looking forward to see how this project comes together. I have about half the videos from rebuilding mine up on my channel if you are interested. Did some cool bent plywood in there that was actually pretty easy!
@RenegadeADV
_"Looking forward to see how this project comes together..."_
Yeah, and your own YT fans (including me) were looking forward to seeing how YOUR OWN head rebuild had come together, yet you never put up a single video of its completion, and its been like what, three years? You crack me up. You're always doling out advice to other Creators, yet you never do the same on your own sailing vlog.
looking forward to seeing a new chalkboard, so enjoying the process, bringing Uma that has served you so well to a Uma that will take you so much further.
I can't wait to see what designs yall come up with!!!
great work guys. please make sure, before glassing in new bulkheads, the boat is aligned/in shape
Sailing within the boat' limitations and comfort zone. Plans to install squeek no more bulkheads. Keeping & repurposing some original pieces of Uma. A new work canvass. Opportunity to apply all your lessons learned. Redesign the interior to suit your lifestyles.
You guys are amazing so I hesitate to suggest that there might be something you may have overlooked regarding the floating bulkheads. It COULD be that they are floating to keep from putting hard-point stresses on the hull. I am not saying that is the case, just that you might want to consider the possibility.
I love Sardegna I was there for one year 80-81 I've been back once and it was so awesome. I wanted to live there at one point but be sure to see Palau and La Maddalena and go to Corsica it's all wonderful
CAD-Cardboard Aided Design! it makes the best projects come to life!
Storage lockers on a second floor and NO elevator! What genius thought of that? Liked the commercial. Great cinematography..
I absolutely love, love love that you two are tackling this! Some people think that Fred Sanford is dead, but he’s alive and well and living inside of me! I am the rescuer Of things that everyone else love to throw away! You to just do it, and I might need a fashion and myself. But like you, I am having the absolute time of my life at 63 years old.
You guys are great. I love Kika's creative side, if only it was just for a second for a commercial. lolz You should do that more often!!
and the reason theres something in front of the stairs is because it prevents you from falling down the stairs and falling 10 feet all the way to the floor instead of falling 5 feet into a counter
That hideaway lav is badass. 3-4" above the lav do a 3-4" recess stationary shelf. Install a 2 handle 6" high goose neck 4" spread faucet. When you use lav you just turn the goose neck out over basin. Run water lines high and tight below shelf. That hideaway basin was a work of art and awesome use of space!!! You can use shelf space on the side of faucet for toothbrush, soap ect. Maybe even have a flip down panel that covers faucet/shelf when not in use?
I just think that hideaway basin really was a good creation, no need to reinvent just something to improve upon. To bad it wouldn't be feasible to Patten. I see a remodel your boat show coming with so many cruisers remodeling/improving their floating homes. Interesting yt series to come?
The year pass would let you cruise the full Med for all the bonuses of all the possible port stops. Sounds like a great year in the making.
Weirdly I'm actually quite excited about this whole thing. Seeing how you do things and learning from your skillsets will be massively helpful once I finally get my shit sorted and build out my own boat. xD Watching you sail gives me hope, but watching you build something cool gives me tools to actually make that a reality.
Most of us who've renovated something before have been reduced to "just keep hitting it with a hammer" 😂 Great work, I love these renovation videos!
Allez❣️Your 600 level course is inspirational !
Seeing you rip out all the wiring is enormously gratifying for me - I love 12v electrical and re-doing,neatening up, etc. is my jam. It also gives me The Fear, though, because I know how much money I would wind up spending on all of the correct gauge marine grade wiring, tooling for connectors I don't currently have and "need" because they're the right ones, etc. The last couple electrical projects on my vehicles have turned out to be absolutely WILDLY expensive. Good luck, lots of videos on the 12v system please! 😁
You two are not a normal couple. A normal couple would have killed each other by now. This renovation is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Only a couple of geniuses could pull this off.
Normal is vastly overrated...and boring.
What great friends...their is still great people around..
great little runabout .. I have a 2021 Fiat Panda Hybrid .. excellent wheelbarrow . I relocated the anti roll bar droplinks onto the lower wishbone to eliminate the weird steering inputs .
Guys an incredible amount of respect for SaVing Uma... i love it, and I'm very excited to see how lovely little Uma is going to look after her 'botox'...you guys are a great team!
That said, and even with all the 'design and build flaws' you highlighted rightfully so, consider this... Uma has taken you to some of the remotest places on earth... places that a thousand times fewer than 1% of the world population will get to see in their lifetime. Whilst I know that you made some amazing changes over the years, structurally she made it... :-)
Now taking into account that you've stripped her basically 'bare-bones' and structurally reinforcing her and giving her a new life, she will be more than equipped for journeys beyond your sailing years...amazing!
I am a huge fan of Mercedes-Benz Unimog Trucks (Google them), and especially the older SWB models. These vehicles just go where no other vehicle goes. In some way, I think, after all your mods to Uma she will be like a 'Unimog of the Seas'....#umamog ;-)
Not to compare lovely Uma to a Truck, but you get my point...
Well done, and your creativity, tenacity, and resilience amazes!
Hello you two. This will be the biggest boat project I've ever seen. I'm very excited to see how it will be👍🙋🏻♂️
I am currently rebuilding the rebuild kitchen in our home. When things don't go well I just think of Uma
Nice shots around the storage unit 😄
When you talked about "the little car"
- I thought, right the size for Italy and it's small streets
- how would people in the south of US look at? dinghy to an F450?
...... When Kika heard the noise coming from the Locker I thought OMG something fell and may have broken............ I should have known better. That was good, really good.😁 When all this is done you will have an almost "New" Sail Boat.
I always enjoy your videos and it remindes me of my many years working on boats. Back in the day your boat was built, that was not marine grade plywood. That was exteror grade plywood. Marine grade plywood was still much more espencive and a lot of manufactures subbed out for exterior grade for inside work. Very recently I even found a top name boat builder that used pressboard on cabnet doors veniered in a beautiful wood I only found out about this on a new boat when the door fell off in a rough sea and it pulled off it's screws .
You have some great friends! Glad you don’t have to worry about a place to live or a car! 💕
One of the awesome things about you two is that you have had to live with your designs. All architects/designers should have to do that.
Totally agree.
I've lost track of how many beautiful designs that didn't work went through our office.
I love that you're keeping Uma alive but man, what a project.
Some days when you have to pull something you installed back out... and you realized you did too good of a job...
Good job keep up the hard work. And we all have done that. Lol.
