Nezo is my HERO!!! He needs a documentary made about his skills, ideas, craftsmanship, and work ethic!!!! I know you have a new captain.... ;-D But it would thrill me no end if Nezo became First Mate!!!! So much knowledge and skill packed into one head!!!!
Bloody he'll Zeka your everywhere like flash , hey man thanks for showing us all how to build a Ship the simple way not with all the flash tools this is how you learn from a true master
I'm always impressed how the master shipwright Zeka goes into every task without hesitation . watching him work and the quality of fit & finish makes one realize it takes a lifetime to develop that kind of skill . Great video well done again !
You guys definitely lucked out with some great Craftsman it's a dying art around the world but it's Living Strong with them hopefully they teach their craft to another generation and keep this tradition of shipbuilding ongoing
Amazing! In a 100 or more yrs from now, someone will marvel at the workmanship of this old man in awe! Not only that they'll be able to watch him do the work via these vlogs...what a treasure
... once again, I'm blown away by your team of craftsmen but especially Nico (I believe that's his name ... reminds me of my great grand father so much) ... he is an artesian in wood ... I look forward to each episode with the excitement of a kid ... my wife needs to remind me that I'm 75 and to calm down ... thank you for allowing me, and the rest of us, to follow along on the journey of Yaba ...
I had off four days last week and found your channel from odd life crafting so I watched every one of your videos over that four days now I am going through withdrawals your guys are amazing and at first I felt sorry for you buying Yaba but I was wrong what a great thing for a young couple to do you guys have such a love for this boat and will know everything about it when she is done and still be young enough to live a carefree life and travel Yaba and youtube was made for each other and of course you guys as well I can not wait to see her on the water and you guys sailing where ever your heart takes you thanks for being will to put yourselves out there and showing us how your wonderful shipwrights craft such a fine boat love those guys as well can not wait till Sunday now thanks for that lol I hate waiting. be safe
Time is flying. You need 2 videos a week. Love all the work. Today is my Anniversary of 51 years and my wife birthday and Mother Day. We had a great grandson. Happy times.
I never thought this channel would be this good as it has been and it is because the craftsman that are so skilled and have the resources to go to town on that boat and more or less replace everything. It makes it even better that you are a very nice couple and that dog is precious.
Hi Ben and MP, I did watch the midweek episode. My guess is this will be another decision you won't regret. Adopting Caillou seems to me to not only be the best choice for you (I'm a dog lover so am biased), but also for Caillou. He looks well satisfied now and I believe he will continue living his best life with you. Very happy for all of you. I really love how the team really work as a team, with Ben now being a full member from what I can tell. Even if the terminology sometimes eludes him, I'm so impressed with the work he does on your rebuild. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada, Dawson
happy mothers day... i have a verry sad day today.... i had to put down my old dog😪😪 13 years old my mate... he will be missed.... luckely there is Yaba to brichten up my day.... thank you Ben and MP😉 Greetsz from friesland....max....💙💛.....
Ben , i truely thought this task was floored from the begining, however the guys working on the boat have worked to overcome those issues, well done to them. i have no doubt you will have a rich future with Yaba well done.
Guy's each week it gets more and more exciting to see how far Yaba an you 3 have come .. watching the transformation that you guys an the craftsmen's work has created.... Grateful to be able to watch on here. I can't afford to do Patreon. Surviving a fire takes a long time to recover from. The joy of watch something positive an uplifting is a true gift!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us truly grateful... Happy Mother's Day to Everyone's Mum's✌🏼💗😊❣️
She’s coming along nicely. A bucket list item for me would be to one day walk on Yaba’s deck and see you in person. Just a hope but a wonderful thought for me.
After seeing Ben working with that hammer, I’m positive we’re watching he become the next Dreadful Pirate Robert out of true love 😁 Great episode, as always
Just noticed some new power tools used by the shipwrights. Great that they have what they need to make the job go swiftly and skillfully; clients like you two don't hurt either. Looks like Ben is getting his apprentice certificate as well.
The workers are doing a great job and handling all of the changes in a calm manner. I just pray that I will live long enough to see the finished yacht.
I'm blown away at these Brazilian carpenters/shipwrights/mechanics/cabinet builders skills. A pity they don't use copper nails but as everything's been epoxy'd and glassed l see it all working fine.
Found this channel about 2 weeks ago and binge watched all the episodes. I am not caught up and looking forward to future episodes. Truly awesome to watch the shipwrights work.
Oh that must have been so frustrating to find the rotten patch. I might have reached for the handkerchief or the gin bottle. I’m not afraid of repeating myself, Nezo is an artisan genius👏👏👏
These Brazilian shipwrights are non-stop masterful beasts! They never stop. Might not be the ultimate results but still solid and respectable. I wonder what is the daily running cost for this crew? Tell us please. :)
It’s nice to watch your master carpenter make it look so easy. I’m a carpenter with over 43 years of experience and I know I can do it but not many others can. It looks easy but you have to have a feel for the wood. Happy w
Please consider a secondary emergency egress if you don’t already have or plan one. This is best to have it opposite of the original stairway. Probably in the master cabin. A fully removable/openable side window or a deck hatch/skylight should suffice. It should have easy to use footings/rungs as well as placards noting the emergency exit in case you have guests. There was a dive boat in Southern California some years ago that had all guests perished because the main exit was engulfed in flames and there was no secondary exit.
The species of wood available to you is amazing! Not using all the fancy tools they might have they sure make use of what they do have. Always inspired every time I watch these vids.
Hi there guys I'm so amaze your project doing I'm always watching your episode .your carpenter is the best (veterans )doing your yacht I'm from Philippines
It will be of particular interest to me how your builders will load the ballast and liquid storage tanks below deck. Then I'm wondering about all of your plumbing and electrical systems. I would guess everything still on board right now will need to be gutted and replaced? This will happen once Yabá is afloat?
I think you should get a metal plate engraved with the names of all the builders and the time the boat is completed. Put the boat name and original build date as well if you know it. I think it would be a nice thing for you, the builders to honour the work done. All best, Squally
Omg omg, floors! Don’t forget to run conduits under those for wiring and such. It’ll pay huge dividends should you need anything in those tough to get to areas!
Great EPISODE! So exciting seeing the flooring going down in the cabin. It is going to be beautiful and a home to be proud of. Ben I can tell you have really been working a lot. You are looking really buff and handsome as usual. Have a great weekend guys.😎
I am a bit mystified by the reasoning for building the interior bulkheads before installing the flooring. It seems like it would have been easier to install solid flooring throughout the below decks then build the bulkhead framing on top and lay the bulkhead plywood down on top of the flooring (much like drywall in a house). I worked at one time for Erikson Yachts in California but we did not build wooden boats. I have been a contractor for 35 years building homes which I am sure influences my methodology. Love your content, catch every episode. ❤
Most of the time you want access hatches so my guess is to be able to pull up the flooring quickly if you have a leak or to access storage? It's just a guess but this way when they reply I will get a notice. 😂👍
Wow still chocolate cake. 🎂 But I truly love watching the yards ship wrights ripp apart your boat because when their done what has transformed its amazing. And MP smiles.😃
Good morning favorite TH-cam folks! Terri isn’t here to watch this morning. She was on a bender with some friends on a wine tasting tour. I’m watching and digging the work as usual. The craftsmanship is as always awesome. Closer and closer!
Hi guys. Love your work but I need to mention one concern about the stern deck. A lot of effort to ensure that water does not get into the enclosed area/seating however the small scuppers remain open, an access for water into the closed seating lockers which will encourage dry rot and damp locker contents. Just a thought. Frank.
Hi to you both,I think that the videos are great,I have loved watching them from the beginning of the project..but the diving platform looks rather large to cope in any heavy seaway.keep up the good work,well done to you all,cheers Roly 🇬🇧.PS.the cabin decking is going to look beautiful.
After the last episode with the mutley cam(yes it was fun lol), I thought you might have been going to have a big reveal. This episode wasn't what I'd thought it would be though but none the less a good video I was simply wishful thinking. Have fun you guys I really do enjoy the channel!
The maintenance on this boat is going to be a full time job and there's no way one person is going to be able to stay ahead of all the work this wood boat is going to need. I wonder if it's going to take some Crew to sail this huge wood boat in the ocean.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL MOTHERS OUT THERE! 💖
Thanks sweetie's✌🏼💗😊❣️
Nezo is my HERO!!! He needs a documentary made about his skills, ideas, craftsmanship, and work ethic!!!! I know you have a new captain.... ;-D But it would thrill me no end if Nezo became First Mate!!!! So much knowledge and skill packed into one head!!!!
I trust more in mr Nezo with a sanding machine tha in a computerized machine!!LOL He´s a super skilled man!
Bloody he'll Zeka your everywhere like flash , hey man thanks for showing us all how to build a Ship the simple way not with all the flash tools this is how you learn from a true master
Can't believe how much rot you're so lucky to have good craftsman

Thank you so much for being so keen about our journey Stephen! 🥰
Nezo is the man! His old man strength never ceases to amaze. Also, his cigarettes are almost always the same length while smoking them.🤘😎🤘
I like the idea of a larger master cabin instead of two smaller ones. A walk-around queen bed makes living aboard a thousand times more comfortable.
I love how in the intro when you say "simple tools" he is using a chain saw.
I can't live without my weekly dose of Yaba !!!!
Love how Caillou finds all the best nooks and crannies, resting places and cooling of spots on Yaba allready!!! :-D
I have the feeling In the near future a third member will grow up on yaba ..one happy family and a dog.. you both have blessed life.
🥰

Finaly some very good Bresilian music, great. Cheers
Starting about 10:45. Before that it sucked.

The floors are under the sole. This is the sole.
I truly hope that these amazing shipwrights are on a decent pension, as if anyone deserves a good rest, these blokes do. Bless ‘em.
happy mothers day... i have a verry sad day today.... i had to put down my old dog😪😪
13 years old my mate... he will be missed....

Why would you leave the sawdust under the planking. Seems this is not good for moisture later…..
One of my three most favourite TH-cam channels. ..

that dog has laid claim to that boat! so nice of you to build that boat for that dog

MP, we miss your pirouette on the beach at the end of each episode. Please bring it back. 😁🙏🏻
Guys.......Love your channel.
Are you ever going to discuss financials ? It would be great to see what this project cost
Thank you
Found this channel about 2 weeks ago and binge watched all the episodes. I am not caught up and looking forward to future episodes.
Truly awesome to watch the shipwrights work.
Oh that must have been so frustrating to find the rotten patch. I might have reached for the handkerchief or the gin bottle. I’m not afraid of repeating myself, Nezo is an artisan genius👏👏👏
There is definitely a "Dream Team" working here. Yea.... definitely ~ well ~. Superstars ! No doubt about it. Wow!
Thank you Steven!!
Yaba is coming together nicely, cant wait to see how the inside turns out with walls and floor.
Cheerz!!
MP I really enjoy your comments but mostly happy smiling face! You always cheer me up!
Thanks Michael! 🥰
I hope the boatyard was given part ownership of this channel.
Where will you be sailing and will you have any air-conditioning, as it will get incredibly hot below deck?
I knew it was a small yard but that aerial view really shows what a sliver of land it is amazing what they get done there
Great to see your progress! Everyone sanding should be wearing masks though!
These Brazilian shipwrights are non-stop masterful beasts! They never stop. Might not be the ultimate results but still solid and respectable. I wonder what is the daily running cost for this crew? Tell us please. :)
I COULD SMELL THE SANDING DUST ! LOOKING GREAT, IT WON'T BE LONG NOW ......
It’s nice to watch your master carpenter make it look so easy. I’m a carpenter with over 43 years of experience and I know I can do it but not many others can. It looks easy but you have to have a feel for the wood. Happy w
My dad owned a production woodshop all my life and I can empathize with your sanding woes.
WOW OK # 89 and still in the yards, but that's ok GO YABA GO
Gold hands have this guis!

What kind of ballast will you use?
You are very lucky to have carpenter's that are very good.
Indeed! 😍
Sanding party? yes i like it....full dust
I never even had a thought about what you two were doing with the dog I just assumed he was going with you end of story 😁
Nailed a four of ten on hatch joints.
Hands down the best boat channel on TH-cam. Amazing
Glad you think so! Thank you!!
Beautiful work on the floors, they are true master craftsmen.
Can't wait to see you guys in the Bahamas
I with the fact that he appears to be a heavy smoker, hope your master carpenter lives to finish your project. He is doing good work....
She is looking Beautiful!
Thank you! 😄
hay man this boat gets better by the week
The more I watch the more I marvel at the skill of the work. Incredible. Thank you both for sharing this journey. Love it.
Thanks for watching Loren! 🥰
Hard work always pays off thanks for the video👍
Waw! Its really beginning to look like a super yacht... You Guys are doing a fantastic job... Forging ahead at breakneck speed too.
Hi there guys I'm so amaze your project doing I'm always watching your episode .your carpenter is the best (veterans )doing your yacht I'm from Philippines
with the flooring down it will make walking around a lot easier. she is coming together and please have a great week see you next Sunday

It’s a bummer to find more rot , but with Nezo , his hammer and wedge ,you will be fine , Thankyou B AND MP .
Good morning favorite TH-cam folks! Terri isn’t here to watch this morning. She was on a bender with some friends on a wine tasting tour. I’m watching and digging the work as usual. The craftsmanship is as always awesome. Closer and closer!
Things are moving along nicely and looking very good. I can't wait to see the 3 of you on the water.
Thank you!! 🥰
Hi Ben noticed you have a LAZY SUSAN on board ,Now that is really Posh and impressive. Cheers
Great video and the floor looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it when it's all sanded down and properly oiled or varnished.
I would recommend a watermaker and large reserve tanks.
Wonderful, can't wait for next week. Be safe stay healthy enjoy
Thank you Kenneth!
Amazing watching those guys fit that flooring up against the hull. I have never seen a circular saw used the way these guys use it. Amazing.
Very good manufactur , nice use old paviment. Sorry for my english.

Great work - those old boys making it look easy. I dont see a lot mask wearing - the sanding work is very hazardous long-term on lungs.
Great to hear some Brazilian music. More please.
Looks like it's all coming together. This is, will be, a very strong, very beautiful boat. Enjoy.
So awesome to see the floor going down. So excited for you
you guys are getting there ....pertty soon you will set sail ! doing a great job and MP your a joy to watch !
Nice job, really pleased to see the floor and everything coming together. Thanks m8s, you and yours, your builders Calio, stay safe and well.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great progress!
Thanks 👍
Yaba us really looking good! The reused flooring looks stunning! These craftsmen are just unreal.
I remember when is project stated and someone was freaking out when she saw most of the hull removed that needed replaced.
Just got a new screen. super high def. and i didn't think Yaba could be that pretty. 😊😍
