Hi all! Thanks for watching and all the support. What does the list of projects look like to you?
3 month aye??? I love your Can Do attitudes!
Yikes! Can do it team. The stuff I push off to leave yard, foreign port, I know to well. Possibly some local help.
Do you also want to add water-level tubing to the through holes, like in arktika?
Looks like an old boat in need of your TLC .
Excited to watch the progress and then the coming adventures
Air conditioners do NOT work with open windows and open doors. Block off the entrance to your cabin with a sheet of plastic or a curtain if you cannot shut the door.
It is probably normal for Finnish people not to have spent time around air conditioners!
So I'm sure the advice will come in handy.
I believe your duck is a mallard hen. Good for you for helping her!
It is indeed.
Yes after you helped the mallard it would be good eating on a grill
00:00 “Nice!” 😂😂😂 Ah, the energy of youth! ❤️😂❤️😂❤️ No offense meant. I’ll be 72 years old in October! 😂😱😂😱 I am very grateful to you for bringing us along on your adventures! ❤️👍👍❤️
After 20 years of using propane on the boat we took the decision to switch to electricity. In Europe the price is now massive and that's if you can actually get hold of refills! They seem to be as rare as hens teeth. We have an induction hob and recently installed a thing called a ninja foodi. It's all singing and dancing unit that roasts , pressure cooks bakes, slow cooks and quite a few more choices. It has taken some getting used to, I miss the propane stove, but boy is it fast and cheap!. We installed 340 watts of solar and two 170aph lithium batteries. we also already had a KISS wind generator. So far so good. Because you can vary the wattage on the hob and it cooks much quicker not only have we managed to keep up with the power needs but we have eliminated the cost of the gas. May be a direction that you could consider?
Love your sense of adventure, work ethic and joie de vivre! Best of luck.
Induction cooking causes less condensation is much less likely to catch fire and auto shuts off when the pot/pan is removed!
If you are talking with Selden please suggest to them that a spreader ‘U’ shaped clip on to house mast uplighting, deck downlighting, and possibly a security camera would be very appreciated. At the moment I am designing a 6Kg front loading washing machine specifically for boats to go under the fwd bunk on whichever is the widest side (head side) to be front or top mounted. At the moment I have a top loading 3.5 kg washer and spin dryer but it uses too much water for cruising so I’ve decided to do a redesign and cost it out. The fwd bunk because that space is harder to use for storage withe the narrow bottom and it works well with a specially shaped barrel. And the containment housing can have a second skin for hydronic hot water so it can be a dryer as well.
I want to reduce my skin fittings and do a stand pipe as well. Great idea. If you know any young guys who like to do Arduino programming, I am going to populate my boat with Arduino modules for a range of functions ( electric toilet controller, washing machine controller, lighting control system, bilge and gas monitor system, heat and air conditioning management eventually, black waste treatment) so that after lightning strikes the boat can be “healed” quickly with cheap swap out modules even while at sea. On that subject, here in the Netherlands in Dordrecht there isa company that supplies everything for EMF shielding, even materials to line existing cupboards to protect against lightning EMF.
May I suggest that you rig a boom tent over as much of the deck as possible. Give it plenty of height to get around underneath. It will at least keep the direct sun and rain off you while working. As you know, aluminium boats conduct heat really well.
Boats know when they are being loved and we are witnessing a love story ! Cheers to you both your work speaks volumes ! thank you from Florida
Dude!....And I can say "Dude" because I've spent 99.9% of my years in the central valley of California, welcome to summer here. It must be a little brutal coming from a country that has "Ice" in its name, that has to be quite a shock. I'm liking what you are doing with a boat that deserves a new life. Looking forward to your rebuild. Let me know if you need any help. You know, the grunt type stuff. I'm not that far away.
I've only started watching 4 weeks ago, have gone through all your videos I could find. I would watch your channel every day if you posted every day. Thanks for sharing you adventures.
To cool the boat, make shade - use boom for "roof ridge".
@@lutomson3496 haven't, true. Live in Slovenia, with "normal" climate where you do not need AC. It's nice, but not necessarily
Thanks!
When it's so hot would it be possible for you to work at night and sleep through the day? If you had some good lights it might be possible to do some of the things at night. I admire your work ethic and am always impressed with your knowledge. Thank you for helping the duck! Best wishes!!!
I couldn't sleep during hot day time.

I’ve watched a couple of your vids, I’m really enjoying it so far. This is going to be a massive project. Can I ask you to number your vids please. Start from now no need to number retrospectively. Use the same number scheme, please don’t change. Was that a rude request, I’m sorry if it was. I’m looking forward to this but sometimes i break off for a couple of months. Cheers and good luck
Just sort by date on their page.
this is one of my favorites channels in youtube and i like a lot your project. greetings from Spain
"SOVHI THE DESTROYER"
thats going to stick you know. Soon in a marvel comic near you.
Guys you are amazing! I literally stumbled upon your channel and just can't stop watching. Wish you luck and Buddhist level patience with the refitting. BTW people really love to see before/after videos in such projects, so hope you saved some "before" footage for such episode. Cheers from Ukraine!
Be cool is still the main rule......👍
😂😂😂….. SAUNA!!! …I really love you Suomi’s, you know what’s important and how to prioritize in life👍 …. Well, now, working there in the heat, just don’t forget the old saying…. ”Who need the summer anyway”.
Thank’s for the show, take care, and greatings from Ruotsi!
Been meaning to reach out to you as I think you are now pretty close to my location. If you need a place to stay please let me know. We have space in our house. Happy to help out. Located in Novato.
When I asked my wife if we could manage as live aboard....she replied that "in no way would she be coming with". So if you understand the spirit of adventure and lively project sailboats are supreme as interest to myself.....alas, my roots have grown to a home anchor as a frame house and workshop. And, where I might manage a dingy just up on a lake basin for an hour or so. There is no chance of bracing salt air for this observer.
As for the quality, the design of this aluminum hull, I think well formed design and robust strength were the first point as layout. And, where that engine looked in very good condition. I think a concept project that will have many benefits for what ever span of sail is intended.
Having a workshop and involved with repair of various machines and craft....I have rather observed a recent spike in costs. Such that no simple economy is enough to meet the real cost as a refit. Where sails, rigging, electronics and supporting appliance must work and without fail. With that general point of view, I will be very curious to see how progress continues. In part, as there are others who attempt such refit in various stages, various designs. And where I truly like and admire...those who determine to live and proceed freely at the sea. Fair winds...from Washington State, US. M.
We have a natures head composting toilet on our sailboat. It’s our 6th season now. Best thing we have done.
Make compartments in the boat, and get watertight doors. While you are stripping it, this is the right time to do it. That way, you are sure that you wont sink (as easily).
Greetings,
Jeff
Hi guys, So you were working on your boat on the 1 day that it was 104 f here in Napa? that was a good day to sit under the air conditioner. I'm glad that it isn't that hot most of the time. We came by to meet you and see the boat on Fathers day but only got to see the boat. maybe another time.
Hey man...I say from here on out take as long as u can to complete the refit. I know by now you are done and back in the water but I would love to see every little project.
If you look at sailing genre videos some of the most views come from refit videos!
Also...dont fill the cabinets with the wood and fiberglass like they were...just paint them.
Bottom line...take your time on refit vodeos...people love them...myself included.
I just came across your channel again after not watching you for a year and I would have told you this a long time ago. And I will be looking for you on Patreon!
You're the best! Take your time and show us all the details!
Now, I know you say it's not all about the views..but it is, it really is.
If you want a good idea on an awesome refit on an aluminum and steel oat check out Odd Life Crafing. They have a lot of good ideas on metal refit.
Maybe you can find a good place back over seas that can help specialize in aluminum cold water boats?!
I love u guys and want you to do this right all along!
KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!
An idea if you can find a kids fabric play tunnel with plastic hoops put it Vertically over a deck hatch, hoist the other end up on a damaged line as far as its long..
It should act as a chimney and draw more hot air out of the boat.
Again, you two are such nobel refitters.
You have your work cut out for the two of you but at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I look forward to watching the progress.
The internet loves a boat re-fit project!!
Great post; hope you two and the duck are weathering the heat well.
This is very interesting, thanks! I wondered where the human waste is dumped and assumed there is a black water tank, but now I know: composting toilet. That type of toilet is used in some vans of people in van life, which is subject I follow.
all that i can say is that the both of you have more grit than most in attempting the refurbish that boat. but i am sure that you both will be able to acomplish the task. and welcome to California. i am down here in So. Cal and if i was a little younger and in better shape i would come up there and help you both. take care and stay safe.
You two are amazing. You work so hard and make such amazing progress. I'm not the most knowledgeable boat person but I do love sailing. I, personally, think you've got a diamond in the rough with this vessel. I sincerely applaud your efforts and will definitely continue to watch. I can't wait to see the finished version of your boat. Thank you for such outstanding content...
Juho, you lucky man . This lady Sohvi is not only beautiful but she is a really good worker. You two are doing a wonderful job . Coming from freezing weather to 104F is absolutely terrible. I live down here in St Petersburg, Fl and today it was 94 F but we stay inside the air conditioning of the home . Too hot outside! I’m not sure what I’d like more… the heat or the cold? As far as your boat 🛥, you two are really doing a great job . I really look forward to watching each new segment to watch all the good progress your making . Water and some bread for that baby mallard 🦆 please. Someday you will be rewarded for saving a life. Love, love love you videos. You two stay safe . Can’t wait till your next segment. I am now of course a subscriber.
Wow so much stuff but it will all come together... Think positive envision what you want an it will happen... Anyways guys you got this, the thru hole plan is brilliant an nessicary... See ya next week!!
Sophie, your amazing an such a hard worker... Your both just good ppl!! ✌🏼💗😊❣️
II like the way you provide information and guidance with excellent entertaining presentation.
Are you going to base the electrical system on an isolation transformer?
Have you considered eliminating propane and using electric stove and refrigeration?
You are a great team! I would encourage you to "Do it right the first time" and not worry too much about the actual time required. Doing things over takes more time and costs a lot more in the long run.
really good advice. this is a massive project and I am really impressed with decision to do it and knowing that you can finish...but it will be more like 4-5 months, I would think, but you have Sisu so it should not be a problem..!
Keep up the tremendous commitment Juho and Sohvi! The project looks tough especially in the extreme heat. However like many of your subscribers I am keenly following your progress and wish you so much success with this. It will be so worth it in the end.
Looks like the project is going well. Definitely go with Lifepo4 batteries. I have just finished a refit and they're fantastic. I have posted a few videos of the job on my channel.
Cheers dudes
Dude, Still enroute Taz ?
You can buy dust excator for angle grinder and connect it to hoover and control the dust.
Hi guys, love your videos, cant wait till you get back North. It's an ambitious to do list just remember the journey is half the fun. Will be watching with anticipation, enjoying your sense of humour and the dynamics between you both, all the best. Ron
Paljon tehtävää, kova urakka varsinkin helteellä! Lykkyä tykö!
If you can rig a light coloured tarp or sheet strung up above the decks and cockpit over the decks it will keep most of the heat off.
Hello from New Zealand I just started watching your channel and is very interesting. Even though I think you don't need my opinion but concentrate on getting her in the water... Stay in the US to finish refit and while there make the most by cruising around.
Looking forward to more episode👌
stay hydrated , couple months more of the heat , weve got some very inexpensive misting systems , help keep the hull cool , and you guys too . welcome to california .
Impressive! Best with refitting and relaunching your future home. The Nordic waters are anxiously waiting for your return.👍👏🤟
I really like your channel; it is different. Now I am interested to see how you are going to make this refit interesting and stay a couple by the end of it. Treat her kind treat her good !
Lol I think that’s why her name is not on his patreon
Hey, what are you watching?
Just two polar bears melting down in California. :D
Love watching a plan come together !!!
I can't imagine a boat without a sauna.... :)) I'm really not making fun of it for you two, you deserve one !! Fair winds.
Great Boat, you gonna make it! Then: Northwest Passage ??!! There would be some nice skiing on the way, too like in Alaska. Cheers
Great couple! Go for it!🍓
When you finish or as someone's guest you should treat yourself to some sailing on the SF Bay. July is the "windy month". Windsurfing/Kiteboarding is epic off of Crissy Field at the San Francisco Cityfront.
Great channel--just became a Patron, and hopefully more folks will as well. Thanks for the content!
Are you going to insulate the hull before you put in new tops? Considering where you will spend the majority of your sailing time, it might be a good idea.
You have a lot of experience, and you know the list of projects will grow.
I am looking forward to watching this refit!
I'm curious to know your plans for insulation. Do you insulate above and below the waterline? How do you deal with condensation? What materials will provide best thermal barrier and sound deadening? I've enjoyed your channel immensely. Your early work in the wilderness was breathtaking. As suggested elsewhere, please add a numbering scheme so people can watch sequentially later on. Film as much as you can and you'll have much to edit underway. Good luck with the build!
I hope to see your boat in the water soon! the journey to getting it back to livable is great to see.
Great project! Great work Juho and Sohvi! You both are doing exactly the right things. So commendable!
Good job brother, love what you are doing
An awesome new project. I look forward to following your progress. Good luck 👍
best of luck, looking forward to the next three months
Impressed with what your are doing!
Looking forward to watching yer progress
Great job guys! Keep it up it is comming along nicely!
Hello. Hope you both are doing well. Im enjoying the video's on the Re-Fit. Hope your little friend the Duck (Drake, Female) Im shure with the hot temps she enjoyed the cool fresh water. Looking forward to the progress on the new boat. Take care.
Your a wonderful couple, hope your able to take a bit of time to visit some wineries...
The boat is starting to look a lot better, looking forward to seeing how it looks when your done.
enjoy following your progress,best wishes for your future travels 🥶😬
You are a real sweetheart 💕, it's nice to see a girl not afraid to get her hands dirty , you go girl just be careful using power tools
Great videos! I’ve been watching for a long time. Exciting project. Good luck! I’ll be following along.
Nice episode, thanks.
Really enjoying the new project 💜👏. Look forward to following each episode. Enjoy the process. 💜💙
Great update!
Great list and well thought out! Stay cool!
Wow you guys are going to have a awesome sailboat/home best of luck to you
Danke!
...Absolutely fascinating... Loving this footage...Good luck with all you do...
Use animal bedding pellets for the compost toilet,much easier than coconut coir and does a better job.I got rid of both heads on my boat and love the compost toilets.
Wonderful video
what a woman you have she seams a hard worker
Looking good! Kittos from Vancouver BC!
Keep up the good fight!
Exciting stuff guys, keep it up
You're making good progress, but there's lots of work to do.
I'll enjoy watching this project continue towards a fine explorer boat
I’m glad other people get to experience the heat, where I live in Arizona it’s regularly over 104 degrees.
As for the windows, so I would consider installing thermopene glass with a system like "Rafa" from Leusden in the Netherlands does. I also mounted it in the wheelhouse of my Fisher 30 North Easter and it saves condensation on the windows and comfort, and I'm sailing summer and winter in the Netherlands.
Regards Lucas
its a beautiful boat, I wish I had some extra money for you guys but not at the moment, maybe soon, I want to see you sailing soon!!
nice work keep it up!
Always carnage, good some enjoyment it taken in this hard work. Sorry for the 3-month pressure, current issues don’t see an end to it. Just make it South, sure you two can do it! Some cost will actually drop on leaving, sorry to say we’re pricey to outfit here.
Grand success or channel doing well and getting sponsors.
Lockers, I call that work s*!@t balled, legacies of owners that don’t care. Really interested to see how you do insulation.
The AC will be more effective if it is boxed to a hatch(forward preferably), keep the duct to separate and direct to your work zone. A few pvc pipe ribs and a white or silver tarp shade over the spar will massively reduce the heating. Just one rib per grommet set works great.
You have a sauna just sitting in the yard lol. That said it hit 108f on the water here (Port Townsend )last year while I was away, gastly. Suppose I could drop a curtain in my forward galley make a non dedicated sauna, like to see what your build is.
Good luck with your dream boat (England)
I have just discovered your channel yesterday. I am loving catching up on your videos.
Great endeavour, all the best to your adventures.
Thanks
awesome Juho. Crazy to see that grp and unfinished ply in the lockers. Great that it hasn't compromised the aluminium. I'm sure you can do the work needed to get afloat and on your way to colder climes. best of luck. Andy UK
Love you guys, Love seeing Sylvia soooo cute!!
Me Too
My comment is for support. It doesn't need to be answered. Good luck on the list.
Nowadays anybody that has a good thumbnail of them saying they're buying a boat and refitting it blows up I'd say keep this boat refit going and your sub count will blow up
Unless a whole lot of your anticipated cruising is to be north of the treeline, you might consider installing a woodstove into your boat. Here on the BC coast, we've been heating our Spencer 35 sloop for 15 years with a woodstove and putting that in is the single best improvement I've ever done to the boat. We gather firewood as we go, so no need for a large woodshed on board, and we can always find ready-to-burn firewood like yellow cedar, yew or shorepine just with a bit of beachcombing. We can easily heat the whole boat to a sauna-like temperature, but dump excess heat immediately just by opening the forward hatch and companionway. We also have a double bus heater plumbed into the engine for when we're motoring. Basically, as far as I'm concerned, you can never have too much heat on a boat, -and running diesel heaters is going to cost you more than $10 every day.. Love your show! Cheers, Ingmar (and when you do head north, please be welcome to tie up at our dock here in the heart of the "Great Bear Rainforest" on the BC Central Coast! www.spindriftpoint.com)
