That boat has minor injuries, nothing to worry about, some drying out time and fiberglass will do the job. I've seen much worse and they got back sailing again.
Cheers Johan! That’s what we think! 😊 Nothing that can’t be fixed!
@@SailingSeabirdhe’s got a thick hull if she had a wood core it would be trash this girl could have a lot of years left on her ⛵️🤙⛵️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌼🧇
Elbow grease goes along way to make something look so much better!
Yes it does!
Cheers for watching 🙂
I wish you guys were near Boston . I could help you whip that boat into shape real fast cause I’m the FIBER KING !!!! 👍🖐🍾❤️
We wish we lived closer to Boston.
🤣🤣🤣
Wow! The portholes look amazing…and there’s nothing like a good pressure wash to spiffy up the boat. So excited to see what the summer brings! 😎❤️😎❤️😎❤️😎
Morning Mary,
Hope you've had a good week.
I think there will be a lot of sanding this summer.
Hopefully some painting too.
Thanks for watching as always.
Stu and Marina
@@SailingSeabird
Same with us. We can’t wait to replace our portholes, now! It’s going to make such a difference. So…much….sanding on our hull, too! 😂😎❤️❤️❤️⚓️
Progress.....whoo hoo, Seabird is improving all the time. Well done you two ❤
😊 thank you
Slowly 🐌 🐌 🐌

Love watching seabird get brought back to life! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
A lot to do.
Cheers for watching 😃
It's amazing how much the new rubber improved things! The boat is coming together well! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Slow but steady wins the race!
You know it!
A lot more to come...
They're back 👍
Yup.
So much to do..!
Great video!! Who says you don’t do anything?!!! I think you do a lot of work!!! Stewart makes me laugh!!
😊 thank you
There's a lot of work to be done.
Marvelous "portlight" installation by these two knowledgeable sailors. Such technical instruction with superb v=cinematography. We extend our kind greetings and can't wait for future episodes.
Many thanks!
Technical 🤣🤣🤣
It's a 50 year old plastic tub, she'll be right.
Cheers for watching 😃
Great to see y'all making progress!!! ❤
Thank you!!
It's a marathon, that's for sure.
I love seabird
⛵️ ⛵️ ⛵️ Phil...
Thanks Phil.
Cheers for watching 😃
Hi ya guys. Its Liam from Ireland again lol. Lovely job with the power washer. She looks far better off now. Away better. That Deck is going too look Fantastic when you get a chance too paint it White. The window looks great. So keep up the great work. I ❤ your Channel guys 😊😊
Hiya Liam,
We can't wait to get the decks painted. Got some paint, just need the kiwi grip for the textured bits.
But, loads to fo before then.
Stay tuned 😉
@@SailingSeabird i never miss your content guys. Great stuff. 😊😊
Best thing of building a boat is the "setteling in the boat " part . BigUp!
Thanks 😊
Got to be comfortable as can be.
Cheers for watching 😃
yeah live would be real cool
Now that’s some adventure, and you’ve not even wet the hull yet. Best of luck with the work. And I look forward to the splash. IAN MCFARLANE
Thanks 👍
Nothing is that difficult, it's all just a matter of time.
Cheers for watching 😃
Love watching your videos
Glad you like them!
Cheers for watching 😃
Hugs from Brazil ❤❤
I really love that little round window; well done! Some things are worth the work because they bring joy for years to come. You two are very hard workers, and I am impressed with your attitudes and how you work together. Imagine how many tons of parts and equipment and BOATS you have kept out of landfill! This is the actual way to save our environment. By fixing and re-using that which is often thrown away.
We are glad you think so.
We are just poor 🤣🤣🤣
Cheers for watching 😃
Go team! I know you will get that keel solid one step at a time
The keel story...
Where to start?
Investigate what you can and hope for the best 🤣
Stuart has to be the most laid back guy on utube
Thanks 😊
Port holes join the gadget at the top
A drop of the glue should do the job.
Thanks for the advice, you're not the first.
Cheers for watching 😃
Glad to see you are back.
Cheers.
A lot to do. Slowly, we'll make progress.
Stay tuned 😉
Fingers have oil so if you touch it needs to be cleaned before gluing!
Great prgress! Just make sure she lasts the next winter without leaking, so you don't get bad setbacks
Just the one window left to rebed. It's over the bed so putting off doing it, plus we need to order the hinges...
Cheers for watching 😃
I am always charmed by how well you two work together. It really is a pairing of equals 👍 As ever, go well!
Thank you very much!
We each have our strengths...
Terrific great challenge great attitude. Happy living getting ready then sailing out to sea 🎉
Thank you.
We are a long way fro. Getting Seabird in the water but everyday we are a little step closer.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Beautiful work!
Great job! Cannot wait until I see you sailing the Seabird!
You and me both!
But we're a long way off.
Cheers 🍻
@@SailingSeabird When I was growing up, a song I remember went like this, "baby you can do it, take your time do it right, you can do it ba-by.." So, I'll just enjoy your videos, and appreciate the time you're taking to make sure it's done well, a bientot!
I like your choice of boat. I like the two of you, your videos. I like everything about you. Keep up the good work and I'll be watching.
Thanks for the kind words.
We are just trying to build our little home.
You two are a fabulous couple working so hard! Seabird is going to look super after this! Here's wishing you all the very best.
Morning Ray,
Thank you so much!
Yeah every week make little steps with your boat take the time and a little nap when you are tired......😜
In these temperatures, a little afternoon nap is a must.
Cheers for watching 😃
Since you're on the dry, there's a product called 30 second cleaner. You spray on(not pressure) leave it for a couple minutes,then spray clean, any white areas are whiter than white !
Send a link if possible.
We just just elbow grease and hard work.
All the paint will be sanded off as it's not in good shape.
We just wanted the boat not looking green.
Respect for the boat yard, nobody wants to see a green boat.
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking good buddy's
Thanks 👍
Hope you're keeping well.
Cheers for watching.
Clean with silicon clean&repeat annually. Mine leaked over 18 months repeat silicon lasted me 25 years.....
Great tip.
Cheers for watching 😃
Great Job on fixing the layers around the Ports!! All your work looks great. Here is a hint on saving Paint in Cans. The Lid fits into a Groove in the Can top. Put a small hole in the bottom of that groove. Then when the lid is re-inserted the excess paint in the Groove is pushed back into the Can. SAVES FROM A GLUED ON EFFECT to remove the lid next time and actually seals better!
Have more fun! Rich
Great tip!
Cheers Rich 🍻
@@SailingSeabird You bet! start the lid seal opposite the hole I use a nail punched through, then as you lay down the lid it pushes all loose pain in the grove to the hole! Happy Times To you both! Rich
Looking good
Thanks 👍
You guys have been keeping me up late binge watching. Making steady progress your work looks good.
Awesome! Thank you!
It's slow progress but progress none the less.
Cheers for watching 😃
Great content once again, You guys are hard workers, making sure the boat will last a looooong time. Well done
Very neat job 👍
Every bit done is one step closer to leaving dock :) keep it up!
Excellent🎉🎉🎉
Going to be a great boat when done.. even if the 🐷 bank is running a little low you can always find a local business to work a few hours a week. Plus your channel will continue to grow especially with quality videos such as this and perhaps a live stream every now and then??
Very true!
It's just boats. You never have enough, but it always works out in the end.

Crazy...
Cheers for watching 😃
Sorry I missed the live feed, watching it now though. Well done you two....keep us updated on your progress. ❤
We will!
Shame you missed our live show.
Hope all is well.
Cheers for watching 😃
Beautiful boat😮
Great work! Lots of progress this week. Loving your story so far.
Thanks a bunch!
It's slow progress but it will come.
Cheers for watching 😃
great job guys. it is coming together. cant wait to see your adventures aboard the sailing seabird
It's slow progress but it's progress.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Vous êtes à port Napoléon ? Je suis à port Navy service. Au plaisir de vous voir.
Big fan of the longer episode, keep them coming.....and I just got caught up, can't wait till the next one....
Cheers.
We'll keep that in mind.
In other words, we'll try to record more.
😊
Good job!
Thanks!
Slow progress.
Cheers for watching 😃
There would originally have been a compass in the round hole. Once which could be read from the cockpit and from inside. That way someone seated inside could see what course the boat is on. Useful for marking up chart. Seeing the log for distance, a clock for time, and a compass for course. All visible from inside.
Hiya,
It was the autopilot head. The rest of the instruments ate in the combing. This must have been done out of ease.
But it's gone, and all that's left is a few screw holes. Need to match the gelcoat but done have the patience atm for that.
Cheers for watching 😃
you should put a drop of superglue where the rubber ends meet,when it dries it will pull apart letting water in,its how they seal windows on caravans it seals way longer if it cant pull apart due to shrinkage.
Great advice.
We'll be sure to put a drop on.
So many people give us really useful tips.
Cheers for watching 😃
it's my favorite sailing couple
Excellent Job!
Thanks!
Cheers for watching 😃
The white stuff looks like emergency fillin done by some good sailor. Epoxy doesn't heal underwater, I guess :) Something like those Styrofoam extinguishers for tyres might work on the fly if ya poke a hell, anyeay, I chat too much! Send some Love fo ya two!
Interesting, it could well be. We'll investigate further.
Cheers for watching 😃
Thank you for another video. The windows look GREAT, good job!!!
Glad you like them!
Slowly slowly...
Cheers for watching 😃
Really like your can do attitude. Pro ving that little bit of money, careful shopping and hard work can make a dream come true.
Thanks 👍
Well said.
Let's see how it turns out.
Wow wow, keep on going ❤
We will!
Cheers for watching 🙂
top tip... when using silicone spray it after application with soapy water.... will smooth out easier and not stick to you as much. great job though.
Great tip.
Siliconing is an art, That's for sure.
Cheers for watching
Seabird is looking really good. Great job, both of you.
Thank you!
Slowly slowly
Looks really good.
It does?!
Thanks 😊
Good job, and good luck with the plan🤞
Thanks.
The best laid plans...
Cheers for watching 😃
Well done, you are making good progress, gradually it is coming together. Richard Clarke from Capetown. 😊
Thanks for that.
One day...
Until then, keep fixing.
Lovely people, very chilled and layed back. Awesome video this week. Nice way to easy into the weekend. ✌️
nice job on the portlights well done good luck with the hull in the summer
Thanks 👍
A lot to do.
Hopefully we get there.
Huge progress!!! Congrats!!
* What is the name of this boat yard, can I be your
neighbor?
Of course, good neighbours are a god send.
Cheers for watching 😃
Instead of using that expensive glue you can use 3M weather stripping adhesive it's way cheaper and it works really well
We'll check it out.
Thanks 😊
"It sort of exploded"....LOL. Looking good.
It sort of did. 🤣🤣🤣
The new glue is safely in the fridge.
I don't know if it's the lack of rain or a "job well done" but the portlights aren't leaking.
Cheers for watching.
You both are just getting better and better at this you tube lark videos are brilliant love watching all the different jobs you tackle on your boat ⛴️ you make a bloody good team , you must think about doing a couple of shorts when your away winter working as a lot of people where genuinely concerned take care both looking forward to next weeks video 😊👍
Thanks.
Winter is really a "head down" time. Plus a bit of skiing.
Cheers for watching 😃
Fantastic endeavor
Thanks a lot 😊
Cheers for watching 😃
Oddly enough someone just opened up a foot locker in England and found a replica menu from the Titanic on the night that it sunk it turns out that they were serving North Atlantic cod with iceberg lettuce lettuce!!!
Great work this week guys! At this rate things will be very tidy by the end of the summer.
Hope so!
Hehe.
Maybe if you add another year or two, it could be ready by the of a summer.
Good luck.
Thanks!
A bit of hard work too.
Cheers for watching 😃
You make a great team. Crack on!
Thank you!
We try. We've been together for a while now...
Only came across your videos a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching them over the last few days. Really impressed with your skills and optimism. I`ve seen pics of other Gulfstar 41 boats and they look lovely. I`ve no doubt that Seabird will look amazing once you have done all you plan. . Regards Stu from Yorkshire
Welcome aboard!
We are really glad you enjoy watching our refit videos.
A lot more to come...
I like you guys are doing this your way .
We wish we knew a better.
We ask ourselves if we are doing it the right way.
Only time will tell.
Cheers for watching 😃
I like they way you work together. Love that little round porthole - looks great.
Thank you very much!
We try to get along when recording...
Cheers for watching 😃
Add another one on the other side otherwise my OCD is going to go into meltdown!
Stale cracker reference 😂
If you know you know 😂😂
@@SailingSeabird right! Dats Money dood!
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one that caught that.
At least you have an employment for the next 3/ 4
Years... 😂 congratulations
Who can garantee the same ?
Probably not a race winner but
A good home to move quietly
From à place to another thanks à medium draft and plenty of space inside.
Hv nice sea and good rear wind for yr future travels.
We are hoping less time but you know boat jobs...
@@SailingSeabird i know .. 🤪
Good one stu. You really make me laugh. I mean that in a good way 👏😂👍👍
Thanks 😊
No point being all serious.
great step forward. Are u sure the rectangle window is right way up. I thought the joint in frame goes at bottom so any water drains out. not that it should leak , not now . keep on keeping on its hard tokeep going on such long projects don't forget to take the little dingy out and have fun.
You could be right.
I'll check with the manual. We just reinstalled it the way it came out.
Cheers 🍻
Congratulations for the windows.
Cheers.
One left to do but it's above the bed...
No worries atm as its summer.
Easiest and least abrasive way to clean/renew aluminium (probably anodised) is using a 'dry' washing up sponge with the green brillo pad side... leaves a polished/new finish regarding the slight surface staining on the older ally windows... carefully of course! Probably already know that... but just in case. Such a great name 'Seabird'... crack on you two... 30k is not far away! 👍
Hiya,
How have you been?
Great tip on the sponge.
Imagine getting to 30k, that's crazy.
We're really grateful that so many people like to watch our diy project.
Cheers 🍻
@@SailingSeabird Cool to get such a nice reply. Pleased you guys are getting some well deserved attention. Seabird has got so much potential which you both clearly recognised... nice to see your return! Fair winds! 👍
i know why your so stoked about the paint in the bin.... wow its so expensive in france now its gone crazy priced!!!
You know it!
Always worth checking what you can find.
Hi Stu, I was in the yacht building business for quite a few years, amongst my many experiences I found that the KING of silicones/adhesives is SIKA, yes a little expensive but utterly dependant, never had a fail using Sika, went through some huge storms/waves hitting the windscreens with only Sika bonding w/screens to superstructure and a lot more. I wish you & Marina all the very best❤
Love Sika 291i
Use it almost religiously, just not on windows.
Anything thing that I never plan to take up, deck fittings, winches, cleats etc 291 plus below the waterline.
In the UK, we use CT1 adhesive sealant. As good as sika 291 plus sets under water and half the price. I think Toolstation stock it. Probably some equivalent In Bricolage outlets in France.
Alex hibbert tested a load on his converted life boat ...channel .
Ports look wonderful.. but its best to use something that remains flexible long term and in all temperature's.
Now that's what you call progress "well done"....
Thanks.
We finally got those two portlights in!
The wood is beautiful, and 2 bathrooms is great. 1 is probably a 🚿?
Originally, it was two showers two toilets. We plan to change it to a shower and separate toilet.
Cheers for watching 😃
great video would like to know where you are I am assuming france?
Yes we are!
Mediterranean coast.
Beautiful 😍
Good stuff.... Love your attitude marina.... Keep on keeping on Stuart.... Get some sun on that body of yours Stuart 😂☀️
We're trying.
My body is never out hence the ghostly appearance.
I've got brown knees...
Cheers for watching 😃
Looking good , does that mean your now watertight from above ? 😃🍻
Almost 😅

Fiberglass filler polyester mastic is called pug porous and unseaworthy only for construction of plugs to build moulds
Thanks for the advice.
Cheers for watching 😃
I like your attitude to recycling anything from the skips. Some other youtubers are much too fussy!
Can't afford to be fussy.
🤣⛵️🤣
Plus, it's good to "upcycle"
Great work, any news on an engine yet, d
Thanks. 😊
Slow progress with the engine...
Get the bottom done and in the water for leak testing because if it leaks, you haven't got a boat. You've got a submersible.
So true.
Hopefully in a few months.
A lot to do before then.
I have an idea for you. It's probably stupid but hear me out. With that dead space on the wall at the portholes boxing the empty space with sausage sort of works but is expensive. So take an extra 1/8" off the hole to make room , then using a kid's party balloon, and put something on it like wax, silicone lubricant or something that won't mess up the fiberglass.
Coat the balloon with fiberglass cloth , put it in the porthole and blow up the balloon. Once dry, pop the balloon, removing it entirely, which may leave a 'boxed in' base in the wall to allow you grind the edges off - and leave a fiberglass cap the hole without it falling through into the void between the inner and outer wall.
It's not a bad idea.
Cheers for the advice.
Worst case it makes a mess and doesn't work, but you get to play with balloons so...............still fun
👍🥰🥰👍
⛵️😊🍻
Just subscribed and I wonder if you have any dreams or plans to cross the Atlantic? Any way good look, you are adorable.
Thanks for subscribing.
Nice to know oeople are interested in our refit.
One day, we dream of getting the boat in the water.

@@SailingSeabird Thank you for sharing your adventure, and fantasy of an alternative life. very inspiring. Good luck.
Hows that engine coming along bloke? Is that a winter job if you stay working on the boat?
Hiya,
Sent you a message.
How have you been?
Thanks again.
Don't want to give too much away.
All good.
