Your dedication to addressing the osmosis in your hull is unbelievable! Once finished, your hull will be super strong and good for whatever the seas throw at it!
Don't let it get to you Glass Fiber work from molding a new Boat to carrying out repairs, is always a painstaking job. You are doing fine, what you miss you can catch up with every time the Yacht is slipped. Those air pocket voids are not going to sink you. You're looking good girl, keep at it.
i cant afford to give to you a better used sailboat but every time I see you cry I just wanna come over there and give you a huge hug! Keep up the great work you are doing! You can do this!
Hi Nicole. Thanks for sharing your adventures with those of us who can only look back and remember our younger, fitter days or simply don't have the spirit of enterprise and energy you have. You're a beautiful young woman. Live your life your way. God bless, good luck and go well. X
Nicole, love your enthusiasm, your too strong and beautiful to let any of this bother. Start thinking of how close you are finishing this up and when it back in the water, your going to be so proud of yourself on how the boat will look! With you beautiful. Till the next video! We are waiting!
👍NICOLE...you are an Amazing person, to do the job you are doing on Artha ! I had no idea that a boat could have so many Blisters ! You really deserve all the Goodluck possible, for your tearful efforts to get your boat into the water again !...Thanks for sharing and Love from Australia ⛵🦘🇦🇺🌹
When I find myself overwhelmed (I suffer from PTSD from my time in Iraq) I recite the poem Invictus, by William Ernest Henley to myself. It's become more than just a poem, it's become a perspective and it's gotten me through some seriously tough times. BE INVICTUS, girl!! You're doing a great job, keep it up!! Good luck.
I'd rather have and have had bullets flying at me than being involved in a spiritual warfare between God and Satan but hats off to your service to this ungrateful country that we live in called America that is on the collapse of a invasion from foreign communist country( es) and I love your videos but unfortunately I can't tag along through TH-cam videos, kindness means nothing anymore! ? Who's side are these people on anyway I know that black magic witchcraft is full blown in Jamaica hmm I would get attacked if I go there to look at a boat watch the power demonstration I could just go to Jamaica and it would tell the whole world 😮 the show must ho on with all the pictures being taken and following me all over the USOf A What about the Cinderella ending?? We could pretend, I don't want money period I just want to sail ,sailing Artha , be cautious because the DR is close to Jamaica? Keep your guard up against attacks from the devil and his adversaries because I truly do care about your well-being and its probably christ that is aware of you and through me only God can put desires in his servants heart and I still choose what God chooses for me and that is sailing ⛵️
You are doing a great job. Keep it up and soon this will be behind you. When you're down think about the feeling you will have the first time you shut Artha's engine off and power along under sail, really hearing her for the first time. You got this.
Wow Nicole. You are doing amazing work. Your determination is inspirational! It's good that you acknowledge the lows and you are honest with yourself. Take comfort that there aren't many people out there that could take on this amount of work, especially not on their own. When you do hit these lows, remember to look back at your achievements and give yourself a well deserved pat on the back. I've only just discovered you on youtube and have subscribed immediately. I will be drawing on your inspiration to spur me along with my own boat project - even though she's made of wood ;)
Nicole, you're doing a great job. Just lots of work to be completed one step at a time. And with each passing day you are one day closer to the great float. You know you have our support in your endeavors. Keep that pretty smile on your face. Kaijin sure is making doggie friends. He's such a sweetie and a great companion. Love with no strings attached. Give him a goodie and a love from all of his virtual friends.
Nicole, You are one Awesome Little Lady. A big project always looks endless when you start, but is such an accomplishment when you finish. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Blue Skies and Fair Weather. Faithfully, James
I’m about to start the same project on my boat. Now I know what to expect so it doesn’t seem quite so horrible. Long & tedious maybe, but perhaps not so overwhelming. Thanks for showing the realities of boatwork! 😁
Your videos do a great job of showing how emotional fixing your boat can be. Lots of both highs and lows. You are doing a great job and hopefully will be back in the water soon!
You're doing great! Keep your head up. Try to laugh at and enjoy "the journey" getting there, it's all a part of it. Just think about how amazing it'll feel when she's finally wet! You got this. 🤙⛵
Impressive progress AND determination! That's a daunting task and you've done so well. Good to see the difference between the two boats, you should be more comfortable in the new one, I think.
You have done a great job, you can be proud of yourself. I know time is money but take some time off to rest and reflect on what next to be done before launching. Cheers, Richard
No easy task. Being on the hard. Need to break tasks down. Great use of book & numbers. Good to wear suit. Have delight of preparing lunch or walking. Happy nature comes out. Must dream of light sail at night with stars & light swell.
I've redone two transoms, a top cap and so many other smaller fiberglass jobs in South Florida heat. You're absolutely crushing this! Its hard work, its hot, itchy and it will make you question life choices lmao!! When its done, Artha is going to be strong and beautiful like her owner! You will have accomplished a massive undertaking. Its a labor of love, thanks for sharing and keeping it real!
Bravo on great work girl . Up north on Vancouver Island we pushed back our sailing trip from Sooke Marine to Maple Bay to the last week of March now . Stormy snowy and cold .Wish we were down there with you .
Enjoyed this video…am hanging out in Georgetown a year later…hey, the blisters will not sink the boat, you are doing great. Been there with my old 30’er….with less experience than you have earned, and we both lived and cruised for years after! Thanks, Andrew & Stanley
Nice to hear you’re back in Georgetown! Maybe I’ll see you there next season. Thanks for keeping up with me and I hope you have a nice time in the Bahamas
Your doing a good job .. quit worrying about the small stuff...I've have had sailboats ...and none have sunk... especially from blisters!! Do the best you can and move on!
Okay! Whew haha it’s so easy to get absorbed into it and notice every tiny imperfection. I think it’s a 70% job and I’m happy with that. Thanks for the encouragement
You are so awesome! and doing a great job! ➡️ we go, working on my 34' too, and maybe see you in the Caribbean one day! Look forward to your coming episodes!
I can tell the finished project of all of this is going to be incredibly rewarding to you also I love that sonic the hedgehog note pad that was cute 😄 you are making good progress keep up the great work 👍🏼
That is a lot of blisters. I don't know if I have seen so many. But you just have to tackle it one foot at a time and befor you know it, it is all done. You are doing a hell of a job, and I am Impressed to seeing 👀 you take on a Big job as of this. So hang in there , before you know it you will be back in the water 💧 and sailing ⛵️ to the next Island 🏝 and fixing the next thing and having fun Diving and injoying life. Life on the water is hard at times and is So Rewarding too. Just think, someone will be watching you sailing ⛵️ as they sit behind there Desk wishing they could be there sailing ⛵️ instead of working for the man. And when you get older you will have the Best Memories and stories of life. And you will be so much Richer for it. So keep up the good work and who knows I may see 👀 your sails ⛵️ on the Horizon from our lanai someday. Ok until next time ⏲️, Aloha from the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻 and Aloha
I’m old: 72 and a retired RN I was in your shoes literally 1/2 century ago , it’s cool the way you sometimes make yourself a bit vulnerable by talking about your feelings and secrets. Your affect( the way you seem to be feeling) is somewhat sad at times . Life is hard You will be okay. You are doing a great job taking care of yourself. And Arta. I definitely wasn’t doing that well 50 years ago. Living on a boat by yourself by definition keeps a person away from others. Hang in there You’re very cool
I do admire you so much, no wonder you are so independent l didn’t know you are ex forces, it explains so much, your one extremely brave young woman bless your heart sweet lady 🇬🇧
Any huge and daunting project can be overwhelming if constantly looking at it in its entirety. Dont worry bout how fast or slow you're going. Fibreglass work is an art-form There are specific proven techniques that must be followed. Shortcutting those will always come back to haunt you later... Your materials prep work is a good step ! Now fine tune the next part : Working on one or two sections of the Hull at a time to completion is an excellent way to do large amounts of the same work. Yes glass work has its time element in that areas need to cure before nxt steps get applied. We have done 2- 3 sections at a time just for this reason. This method lessens the mind stress by not having to constantly keep going back to areas for finishing. Keeps you moving forward as you look at the hull saying 'yup Section 1 & 2 are done' etc. Focus only on the current project and nothing else. This keeps the stress low and confidence high to complete it ! Its only natural to feel the weight of a big project especially if soloing it. But that feeling never lasts and you can get past any of that to keep going !
Nicole, Hi. Yes it's blood, sweat and tears! The hull obviously is not sound. Why not go back to the seller with what you have discovered. They if honest, did not know of the hull condition and now should do right by you! Send them the video! Certain brands of boats are plagued with hull delamination and blisters. Good luck to you! You have time to see this through and for sure are tough enough! Capt Ron
I have to believe that you will get finished and into playing in the waves in no time at all, you just do what you can each day and leave the rest for tomorrow.
I realize it’s disheartening to find more issues, but on the bright side it’s better to find and fix them now rather than going through this again the next time you haul out. Slow and steady wins the race.
You can't just put one ply of fiberglass over your repairs. You must have a min of 2 . Your second ply should always overlap the first ply. And if you want to do less sanding buy some peel ply or green film you will have less air bubbles and a much smoother finish
Because when you start sanding and you only have one ply you are sanding your patch away but when you have two and your making your second ply over lapping the first ply then you are only sanding basically the edges of the second ply. Also since this is not a structural repair instead of chopping glass up some capasil filler would be so much easier to work with.I did composite repair for helicopter mfg for a living. One ply is definitely a no no @@SailingArtha
When you go to sanded use a 80 grit and the go to 120 grit then if you want a real smooth finish end with a 240 wet and dry and do that by hand sanding wet . you will get a professional job. Hope that helps you@@SailingArtha
It’s a 1978. The boat was in the harbor for at least a decade with regular bottom-cleaning. But you know.. eventually the bottom paint scrapes off and it’s just the barrier coat, and then blisters just happen. I suspected there to be blisters, but I didn’t think too much about what that would mean. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t though because the “overwhelm” was gradual as I slowly learned what I had gotten myself into haha
I really am sorry that you bought a bad boat. But you are also doing a poor job of repairing it and you are overwhelmed . May be time to abandon ship. If you really want this life take a few years off, work and then buy a decent boat. We can only take so much crying. Good luck. Go have some fun. ❤
The boat is salvageable! The blister repair she is doing is fine! A professional repair would look better but wouldn't be better. She just doesn't know the tricks of the trade! When she is finished, it will be safe and sea worthy. As for the crying, let it out girl! Everyone has those moments! Few have the strength to show it! She bought a dream and is following it. Mistakes made, lessons learned. That's life! She is better for it and more prepared for bigger trials.
Nicole, you are truly an inspiration! You have made so much progress and must feel on top of the world with your boat. It’s gonna take you a long way and you will know her/him intimately well. I’m really looking forward to coming along on your journey through your vid’s… you’re right, it’s exciting!
I think I might have to agree. There is a big aluminum boat here that is getting patched. They’re doing incredible work. It’s fun to check in on their progress. Thanks for watching and commenting

Thanks, and I am impressed by the Bristol Channel Cutter, that’s why I decided to bring her back to life.
Girl, you are so courageous, I would have stopped ages ago. I admire that. Keep the spirits up. You will be so proud when this boat goes to water.
Thank you
You are so cute that segment of you working on removing the old stuffing was cute!!!,love your channel ❤

You can't just put one ply of fiberglass over your repairs. You must have a min of 2 . Your second ply should always overlap the first ply. And if you want to do less sanding buy some peel ply or green film you will have less air bubbles and a much smoother finish
Why must I always have a minimum of two?
Because when you start sanding and you only have one ply you are sanding your patch away but when you have two and your making your second ply over lapping the first ply then you are only sanding basically the edges of the second ply. Also since this is not a structural repair instead of chopping glass up some capasil filler would be so much easier to work with.I did composite repair for helicopter mfg for a living. One ply is definitely a no no @@SailingArtha
When you go to sanded use a 80 grit and the go to 120 grit then if you want a real smooth finish end with a 240 wet and dry and do that by hand sanding wet . you will get a professional job. Hope that helps you@@SailingArtha
You should have checked before buying . Osmosis Was visible
Thanks for your input
How old is this sailboat? Did you not notice the blisters before purchasing it?
It’s a 1978. The boat was in the harbor for at least a decade with regular bottom-cleaning. But you know.. eventually the bottom paint scrapes off and it’s just the barrier coat, and then blisters just happen. I suspected there to be blisters, but I didn’t think too much about what that would mean. It’s probably a good thing I didn’t though because the “overwhelm” was gradual as I slowly learned what I had gotten myself into haha
I really am sorry that you bought a bad boat. But you are also doing a poor job of repairing it and you are overwhelmed . May be time to abandon ship. If you really want this life take a few years off, work and then buy a decent boat. We can only take so much crying. Good luck. Go have some fun. ❤
Thanks for your input
The boat is salvageable! The blister repair she is doing is fine! A professional repair would look better but wouldn't be better. She just doesn't know the tricks of the trade! When she is finished, it will be safe and sea worthy. As for the crying, let it out girl! Everyone has those moments! Few have the strength to show it! She bought a dream and is following it. Mistakes made, lessons learned. That's life! She is better for it and more prepared for bigger trials.
Nicole, you are truly an inspiration! You have made so much progress and must feel on top of the world with your boat. It’s gonna take you a long way and you will know her/him intimately well.
