As an old lady plenty old enough to be your grandmother, I never ever want to hear you refer to yourself as “dumb” again. You are brilliant! Dyslexia is nothing more than a learning disorder that so many people have that it really should be in the realm of not being wrong, just not average. And who wants to just be average.😊
@ Thanks! My son (now 55) was dyslexic and it was a struggle to learn how he learned but we did it. He’s been on staff at a large university for 30 years now. Not dumb! ☺️
Easy Trick.. 100mm is just 10cm. Dont handle Numbers in the 3 Letters. Do Smaller Number in Centimter instead and give them a little 2 Letter Millimeterr attachement behind the Komma if needet. ;)
I can so relate, and am in the same boat. Except I'm watching you work on your boat rather than re-plumbing my water maker, because I just couldn't brain any more today.
DO NOT CALL YOURSELF DUMB-DUMB DAN. `you're dyslexic, possibly dysnumeric like me. We're not dumb my friend, we just see things differently. You're doing amazingly well. Keep up the great work.
Dysnumeric I have never heard it called that. That is awesome! The formal name is dyscalculic. Funny thing that I realized is as much as I struggled with lower math/arithmatic, I am a bad ass with higher math like Geometry, Trigometry, and physics. I have actually never taken any classes in the higher maths, but I intuitively understand how to do it, generally not using numbers. That get's me labeled brilliant. We are what is considered Neurodivergent, and many neurodivergent people are on the highest part of the IQ scale. You are right, we are not dumb-dumbs, our brains just process information differently. Neuro = Brain, Divergerent = Different. We learn backwards from the so-called normals. This is for you too Dan, as a matter of fact most ADHDer's are definitely above average IQ. We just struggle because of the way information is taught to us!
@@RiverWoods111 As it was explained to me at my diagnosis in the 80's Dysnumeric was a problem reading numbers, dyslexic is a problem with reading letters (a gross oversimplification on both parts) and dyscalculic was more in the using numbers, the equivalent of writing I suppose. Mind you... at the time they measured my IQ as 147+ and decided that I was just not applying myself, after all I wasn't stupid... different times.
Dan is most definitely good with numbers and spatial reasoning. This kind of error is a common executive function challenge due to distraction and fatigue.
And right near the beginning of the video, we see Dan demonstrating the value of "measure twice" through a direct example. We're all human, mis-reading the measure when you're tired is something any one of us could have done. Good catch!
I know I've made this same measuring mistake before, thinking something was wrong when it wasn't. It's much worse when I measure, then cut, and find something too short!
when Dan was fretting over cutting that board out, I was thinking "Measure TWICE, cut ONCE". Only it turned out that thanks to measuring twice Dan doesn't have to cut at all!
Im guessing you guys stopped using fans due to noise while recording, but I an ex shipwright would strongly suggest you reintroduce fresh air while you are down there. So many of my fellow Shipwrights have had serious illnesses related to the fumes and chemicals. They make fresh air plastic film tube. they come on a roll/spool, and they are about 500 feet long. This allows you to locate you blowers fan as far away as you want and the air coming in is almost dead silent. As usual, Uma is looking amazing, and I love watching the progress. Keep it up you guys. What software do you use for 3D scanning and editing. I would love to scan the interior of my sailboat for a refit. Thanks !
Love the title today 😂. Not sure how many years I've been following you two but y'all are my first Sailing channel and still my favorite. Really cool how calm and persistent y'all are with day to day chores etc. 🙏😊
This might be a silly question- or already mentioned thought - If when you do expanding foam, cut some holes in your “confinement board”, as the foam will get out, but will do it through the holes, which are easily removed afterwards. Your resulting foam surface then is formed where you want it - giving clean edges all around.
Kika, your shot variety and music choices continue to be UNMATCHED. Do what I do, hey la la…..Do what I do, oh ya YA! I rewound the hull glassing part bc that song and sequence were so good! (Love, a former college digital media and FCP instructor)
Y’all make fiberglass work look so easy!! Love it!! The fiberglass industry should sponsor you. You’ve even motivated me to make this panel cover in fiberglass for my car 😂.. keep up the good work!!
Watching you paint your bottom reminder me of a trick that I've found very helpful. Paint rollers generally have a threaded socket in the handle. These are used to thread the roller onto poles for painting ceilings, etc. Even the shortest such pole is to cumbersome for comfort when painting a bottom, I've found that a sixteenth-inch-long bit of pole can make things much easier, increasing the area I can reach from any position while not getting in the way.
Amazing to see the progress and all the work that has gone before which we have forgotten. You have come a long way to the finish...it reminds me of the sheetrock stage of general construction. WellDon and keep going!
Dan and Kiki hi from Calgary. You are definitely without a doubt the most entertaining, educating and well presented sailing channel period. Uma is looking great !!!. See you next week. Thanks
After the measuring mix up I really want to know Dan's experience as a Canadian where unit mish-mosh is crazy and we deal with inch fractional for building supplie... vs switching to building stuff in europe where even the plywood is all metric. I feel like it must have been a bit of an adjustment but much nicer to deal with... as long as you're reading the tape measure right!

Don't call yourself a dum dum. We all make mistakes. I am extremely good with numbers and measurements, calculating diagonal to get right angels and so on, but i have the most annoying tendency to make mirrored parts, where the wrong side is up, or i end up cutting on the wrong side of the line, making the part 3mm too large or small. You guys have done really well. Love watching your stuff.
I know it is a bit late for Uma, but for those who may be doing this in the future. In my experience using steel plastering (or drywall) tools, after some practice, can cut the amount of sanding in half. Scrape off the fairing compound off the bigger tool with a sharp smaller tool before it fully hardens, no need for plastic tools.
Given your superlative demonstrable competency in design and build and special thinking , dyslexia can go take a jump as far as this viewer thinks ! I love the twin motor set up and central weight , exactly right . This is so exciting and well crafted guys👍👍
You, brilliant man, DID NOT just call yourself what I heard you say. I have dyslexia too. It’s a block. It’s a pain. But, I am really intelligent. I see that you are too. You have a degree in architecture despise having dyslexia. That says tons about your character. Tons! You show vision, initiative, creativity, but also stability and safety.
In addition to all your great content I am constantly marveling at your transition shots and music selection. You truly have both the ‘mechanical’ and ‘creative sides of your brains in high gear!
Uma is looking Great! Man or man you guys rebuilt that girl! Love the play on words😊.....Can you even manage the pride, the shock, the start of more adventure with a boat ready to take on whatever Nature gives!?!?...... Getting closer.....Hope your visa works out for you Kika!
I don't know how you've done it, but I feel like I could quite literally just sit there and enjoy watching that paint dry. It must be so cathartic after the monumental amount of work you've both put in, it's satisfying enough just seeing it come together on video, can't imagine how good it must be to see it in real life.
As a fellow dyslexic, I feel your pain. I do love though when it turns out it was just my dyslexia and I don't actually have to worry about something like that.
That's incredible. I'm a self diagnosed dyslexic. 5s and 7s mess me right up. It's nice to relate... What I'm trying to say Dan, is that I empathies with you.
D&K Love your work.... your videos are often a highlight of my week. 5 years running *(not sure exactly... just know I started watching around the time Dan survived the hurricane :P).. anyway just leaving my weekly comment to pay my respects to our common overlord ~ the algorithm. 😍
Finally caught up. Been watching from 345 onwards. Super excited to see how all that hard work is going to pan out when Uma is launched again. Good luck and keep up the good work.
you guys ever think about how much further ahead D & K are in reality past the videos we see? like I bet IRL Uma is already painted and a lot of the motor and electrical gear is already installed. pretty exciting to think about.
Great choice to double your engine, are you gonna protect them with two short standalone skegs? It should not take too much material, work nor effort after all you did already and better safe than sorry when out there among the unpredictable orcas. The rudder one may be enough yes but some redundance does not hurt, does it? You go guys!
I just left the BVI today after almost a two month vacation. It is a beautiful place and wonderful people. Sailing, I heard, is excellent there. Didn't try that one.
Dumb Dumb Dan isnt a dummy. He makes some of the most intricate work look so simple. Keep up the amazing work guys. I love to see the progress each week. Learning alot for my upcoming projects on my new to me Cal 9.2.
Hey Dan, the possible issue that you experienced with your dyslexics problem, have you tried just working in just mm. Hope this may assist, as it has helped me with my dyslexia and rebuilding our 14mt boat. Keep up the great work you two.😊
“I hate being dyslexic“ I honestly think it's more of a "I'm tired issue" Dan. Cause I had it happen to me a lot when I have to calculate at night, when tired, and I don't wanna admit I'm tired. Keep it up you too, can't wait to see you back in the water.
Nice work, you two! But I'd still like more quiet shots of your surroundings of the bay nearby, some sunsets and/or evening shots at the stars...I don't know. Whenever you can "take a break" from the boat rebuild! 👍
That’s going to be sooooo cool. A twin screw electric 36’ cruising sailboat. Are there any more in existence? About how far apart are the props? As a US Sailing and Power Boat instructor I have spent a good amount of time on twin screw boats. You are gonna love it!
. Don't you just love it when a wrong measurement works out in your favour, Bonus. Had that happen to me when I was about to cut out stair stringers. Did a second measurement on the rise and run and ended up with 7.5 rise and an 11.5 tread. perfect. Not taking a second measurement could have been a very costly mistake. I have not been following for some time. Great progress , you and Kiki are a great team. PS ,I'm dyslexic as well . when ever there is a 4 in a measurement. I always write as the first number . So I have to be very careful and double check my measurements.
I noticed that you created the problem by converting to centimetres and making a small mistake. I have worked in the construction industry in Australia for many years and here the standard is that all measurements are made in millimeters only. This is so that no one makes a decimal point error.

I know it’s a lot of hard work but you know that it’s gonna be a great feeling when you put Uma Back together for her Splash day, are you guys Dreaming about that? It sure is taking Time and that’s the one hard parts of a Huge project you have taken on however you will be able to have the best feelings and confidence in yourselves sailing her again ! She is going to look beautiful and the Crew onboard ! Our excitement and hopes are growing for you guys, keep those spirits High 🇨🇦Cdn. Dave 🇨🇦🙏❤️😅👀👍
How about a quick tutorial on the care and feeding of glassing tools? IE: 1use throw-aways, cleaning and storage of long-term/reusable tools, rollers(types/choosing/maintenance.) Storage of pumps and fluids, etc.
Dan do not beat sure yourself every makes mistakes. The intelligent person double and sometimes triple checks as you did find the mistake and correct it. great work guys. She is coming along quite fast and looking good. Jim Rodgers
Try dyslexia with ambidextrousness& being a welder&mechanic& fabricator. The times I couldn't get a bolt in cause the driver was in the left and not the right hand, I cant even count. (Left handed go counterclock &right handed ppl go counterclockwise for those who didnt know). Or welded backwards in the early days.. So, trust me, I feel your pain. But we usually also thrive in areas other ppl dont. So as much as it is the bane of my existence, its also such a blessing. I tend to see it positive, but yah when you did those measurements I laughed out loud. I could feel that. Uma looks amazing!

It's been really nice seeing the very tangible progress over the last few months. Can't wait till you guys are on the water again.
The DANKIKA 36 is really coming along now!!!
I love watching these at the end of my week. Coffee and sailing Uma videos put a smile on my face.
"Man.. I hate to be dyslectic" i feel your pain Dan! 😅

Amazing work effort on display once again.
Your labor of love is getting closer to being finished! How are you feeling about the project so far?☺️🤗👍
What a great milestone! Thank you - made my day.
You will never see a greyer boat, it will be the greyest of the grey boats. Grey baby grey! 😉
Your boat is looking so new!

Grey is such a sad cold color to me but some people love the neutrality that way you can add warmer colors to enhance the look.
It's primer...
Have you two looked at Finsulate? It is an anti fouling wrap to put under the waterline. Looks interesting.
Great choice to double your engine, are you gonna protect them with two short standalone skegs? It should not take too much material, work nor effort after all you did already and better safe than sorry when out there among the unpredictable orcas.

Adaptive and a preparedness to change your plans…I love it,one of the many things about boats you have to be flexible.

haze grey an under way" lol
Team Uma is kickin sum butt" 👍
measuring "eighty five" and remembering "eighty, five" is a way too common mistake to beat yourself up about. you're doing great.
Starts to look really great
That’s going to be sooooo cool. A twin screw electric 36’ cruising sailboat. Are there any more in existence? About how far apart are the props? As a US Sailing and Power Boat instructor I have spent a good amount of time on twin screw boats. You are gonna love it!
That sweater montage did me in, blessings 😉
Truly inspiring and great video work.
My oh my you guys are making good time! Keep going! Love you and your channel!
. Don't you just love it when a wrong measurement works out in your favour, Bonus. Had that happen to me when I was about to cut out stair stringers. Did a second measurement on the rise and run and ended up with 7.5 rise and an 11.5 tread. perfect. Not taking a second measurement could have been a very costly mistake. I have not been following for some time. Great progress , you and Kiki are a great team. PS ,I'm dyslexic as well . when ever there is a 4 in a measurement. I always write as the first number . So I have to be very careful and double check my measurements.
Thank you. Your do right by UMA.
I noticed that you created the problem by converting to centimetres and making a small mistake. I have worked in the construction industry in Australia for many years and here the standard is that all measurements are made in millimeters only. This is so that no one makes a decimal point error. For example 24.7 metres is documented as 24700 mm on a drawing.
As a dyslexic who lives in Australia has had some drafting training and does the occasional small building job I do not think that helps. It’s the long string of unformatted numbers that is the problem. In my head I am likely to drop or add a zero or reverse the seven and four between looking at the measuring device and writing it down. I much prefer to use a scale appropriate to the work, in order not to have training zeros ( meters for house sized, cm for furniture sized , mm for detailed work ) , then my intuition can form a check on that I wrote down from the measuring device. 255cm seat cushion , really let me check.
Be glad you’re not in the USA working with inches and eighths and sixteenths :-(
Very satisfying 😊. I will be almost sad when the boat refit videos are done... Except then we get sailing videos!!!
that boat looks goood!!! loved this episode guys!!!
Love watching your videos!
Yay! I was waiting on it! Let's go!
So much oh glorious sanding in one vid i thought i was watching Mads on Sail Life :)
I know it’s a lot of hard work but you know that it’s gonna be a great feeling when you put Uma
Back together for her Splash day, are you guys Dreaming about that?
It sure is taking Time and that’s the one hard parts of a Huge project you have taken on however you will be able to have the best feelings and confidence in yourselves sailing her again !
