We were the first ones to watch and the first ones to comment on Yaba's new channel!!! Yeahhh We are so excited for you guys!! We already love Yaba and we will have mix feelings when you guys leave Guarujá soon. We will be happy because that means Yaba will get the treatment she deserves but we will be really sad as we will no have that HUUUGE ROUND TABLE AND SOFA with such good friends to hang out after a long day of work at Odd. You guys are awesome and in no time Yaba will be at her best shape ever!! Love Duca and Roberta
Thank you so much for your support!! You guys are the best! We know we will miss you but we also know that we are still going to share so many moments together! ♥️
Duca and Roberta, I hope that YOUR stay in Guaruja' will be coming to an end soon! It started out as a couple months more than a year ago! Don't let the refurbishing of a "sinking ship" beat you to relaunching. But don't rush anything, either. We want ODD to sail for years!
Odd Life Crafting were here..... to support you in your new journey above the waterline! Although I'm a submariner retired from the US Navy! Let's keep Yaba' out of Davey's locker! It's going to be more than a "few months" unlike what 😉Odd expected! 😳🤣😂🤣🤓 but let's give it a goooo! I salute you in this journey and wish you fair winds and following seas! Now is the time to get the join icon up! Or patron! Oh yeah I need to join Odd to its odd that I give 75$ to land lovers eh!
Thank you Duca and Roberta for the referral to the Yaba channel. It looks like a very interesting old boat. Would you consider going with them on their trip to drop by and visit your home which is close by?
I do get a feeling that after 14 months of hard work and investment of a minor fortune they will have a boat that is worth a minor fortune plus a little more.
You guys are missing the big picture. The goal is build a TH-cam Channel and that requires a story. This channel is going to be a great story, I think it is genius... I subscribed!
You guys are cute. Reach out to my buddies Lucas and Neto on Katoosh, I'm sure they would love to help their fellow countrymen (and woman) with the channel exposure. This will be such a cool learning experience. You guys have some serious cajones buying that as your first boat. Good job, way to live your life. Make yourself a cheap high water alarm before going on that trip - take two nails, drive them into the wood at the appropriate level - hook to battery - hook to car horn, electric bell, whatever is cheap - water completes the circuit and lets you know the bilge pump is clogged/dead.
Thank you so much for your encouraging message! We really appreciate it!! 😍 Your alarm idea is amazing, we will definitely try to give it a go (and hopefully not need to use it)! 😄 Sometimes we wonder if we really had cojones or were just crazy and naive hahaha even though we think it’s the second option we try to pretend it’s the first one 😅 hope to see you some day soon!
@@SailingYaba you have to have cojones, BIG ONES in fact, to be crazy and naive enough to try it! Thats living a dream, making it a reality, and no longer a dream. Those who sit on their porch waiting for their ship to come in, and those like you, building your own ship! LETS DO THIS!!
hey james. looking forward to this one. ive watched all yours already and looking for more good refit footage. love you and please dont paint teeth on the oyster.
@@SailingYaba Oh it's crazy and naive, but crazy and naive in that Looney Toons walking off a cliff kind of way. If you never look down, you won't fall.
Had to laugh at the very beginning when you thought you could fix the boat in a couple of days. A wooden boat sometimes take a whole lifetime. Great project. Beautiful yacht. Beautiful place. Beautiful people. Great show. Cheers from Colorado USA.
Good for you for being committed to saving Yaba! We have lived on old wooden boats (60 foot built in 1912 & 80 foot built in 1928) for 20+ years. We wanted to share some tips we have learned:1) if you have no animals on board, paint the wooden beams with a thin coat of good quality glycol to help kill/stop the wood rot. 2)mix 1 part acetone to 1 part liquid Gorilla Glue and inject it into any wet wood that might be savable, as Gorilla Glue is only activated by moisture. It will turn your wood hard as rock. Use a large guage syringe, such as used on livestock. 3) figure out how your decks are built. Watch videos on how to replace the oakum and tar between the deck planks. Buy proper tools for replacing oakum. 4) check your stuffing box for leaking. Fix it. 5) get underwater video footage of entire hull, thru hulls, prop and rudder. Examine it closely to learn about your boat. 6) find other old wooden boats that you can salvage from. Get planks, beams, hardware masts, booms, anything you can get. 7) don't wait to start real work ( e.g. not just cleaning) until you are on the hard. Start now. 8) Lift the boat sooner than later. Try to get lifted on a trolley lift, instead of slings, as it will support the hull and structure much better. Good luck and we will keep on watching! Feel free to email if you need more details.

You got a dream boat with a lot of work please each the restoration of the Tally Ho a 110 year old scooner you can learn a lot from him he is a boat bilderand a sailor. Good luck with the project and I keep an eye on you
@@Mahalo_83 I am 62 years old. I remember as a boy watching The Flintstones during the week at about 6 pm when it was first run and there was no Pebbles. I had a Flintstones Lunch Box and i had a set of Flintstone View Master Reels, It was the first cartoon to be run in a prime time weekly spot. I explained it because some folks may not know who Fred Flintstone was. Now they can google him. Any response to this reply will only show you're defiance.
My wife and I have been following Roberta and Duca for a while now and really enjoy their weekly post. Lots of challenges for them that they overcame. You guys get a chance to do that also. We were watching their post this morning, so we can say that Roberta and Duca sent us....When I was younger I used to crew on a 72 ft yawl that was 80 years old. She used to race the New York to Brazil races. I think that was back in the early '30's. I fell in love with working on a wood boat. So, I am sure you will bring a lot of memories back to me. Have a great week, stay safe and see you in a week or so. George & Debby Brady, Texas City, TX.
find the main leak and put a temporary underwater epoxy patch on it, then sail it south, the shore repair will take MUCH LONGER than you think! Good luck favors the Bold!
Thanks a lot for the suggestion! We already tried doing it by diving but we failed 😭 so, or we go like this or we lift it for a quick fix before the trip.. and then when we’re south we know it’s going to be a loooot of work... it’s scary but also exciting! 😉 thanks a lot for the message!
If it's more than a day trip don't risk it. You need to understand you bought a rotten boat. Literally wet wood is soft and if you go off shore you run a very risky chance of breaking up
@@jiefflerenard1228 can you imagine the advice they got that helped them decide to buy that boat? Some of us might be giving better information. Or it all could be artificial drama to create views on utube
Saludos desde España , ya os vimos ayudando a Roberta y a Duca,,estamos deseando conocer vuestro proyecto ,quizás el más ambicioso que una pareja haya iniciado nunca,mucho ánimo y fortaleza..
Well Ben, you seem to have two lovely ladies in your life! While the 5ft one looks lovely, the 70ft one needs some real love and loadsa labour. Take care of them both. Wishing you happiness and safe travels.
Thanks to our friends on Odd, we have discovered you and your beautiful but sinking boat! Thank goodness for good bilge pumps! Seeing Duca & Roberta aboard your boat made me feel that between your two TH-cam channels, I will have lots of fun posting to view! If. You can get Yaba fixed up as nice as Odd, then you too can live your dream at sea. I am looking forward to your next postings.
One more fan from Odd (O.L.C), we have loved following their journey and although Duca and Roberta are one of the major reasons most of us follow them the boat refit was also a big plus, we love watching something old and on it's last legs given a new life, it looks like your channel will be another "must follow" for me. I would get with Odd and let them show you how to set up Patreon, from the looks of it you are in for a long ride and the refit (with wood especially) is going to be costly. Good luck and see you soon.
Hey Scott!! Thank you so much for your encouraging message! We've seen you found us on Patreon already and for that, we are forever grateful! Thank you so much for you support!! We hope you enjoy the ride!!
The thing I like about being young (once) is that you know you can anything. This young couple will enjoy their life with great reward. Thanks for the videos. (from an 82 year-old wanting to build his first wooden boat).
I'm really happy you've found such a fantastic looking schooner, and that you're exited to be boat owners, but you should really never, EVER, put down money on a boat without having it hauled out and surveyed. The content of this video is why. If they're saying she cannot be lifted out of the water, that means they suspect her frames are rotten and she'd crumble into a large lump of firewood if they tried. Not a good sign. And the longer there's water INSIDE the boat, the worse that will get. I know you're just beginning this journey, and you're really excited, and I really love that...I do...but you may indeed want to consider backing out of the deal, if you still can. Wooden boats are fantastic (superior to others, IMHO), and I am sure you could find another like Yaba, but in a little better condition. Having said that, if you do manage to get her out of the water and onto the hard, it'll be interesting to see just how bad the situation is, and the level of work it's going to take to make it right. If you get a chance, check out "Sampson Boat Co." here on TH-cam. Leo (a trained shipwright/boat builder) saved a 100+ year old wooden yacht and has spent the last 2-3 years (working full time) slowly rebuilding her, piece by piece. That might give you some idea of what's in store for you with Yaba, if she makes it out of the water in one piece. Best of luck to you! I look forward to the next episode!
We kind of knew what we were getting ourselves into in the beginning and we have embraced the fact that we have entered a long journey by now! thank you for wishing us luck and we hope you enjoy our next videos! :D
Good luck and I can’t wait to see your progress!!! Odd life crafting has been a blessing. So I hope you guys are blessed too! As I know you’ll you bless me, with your adventures.
Amazing boat!! I don't know how the leak is .. but if you need having connected a water pump 24 hours... from my point of view you should fix the sinking problem there haahah good luck Saludos desde España!!
Thank you so much for your advice! Muchas gracias! We completely understand your point of view.. there’s a lot more at stakes but we are really considering the lift before the trip!
Realmente es para admirar el sueño que estan desarrollando. Esto es la vida que Ud eligieron y a pesar de los sinsabores el dia que consigan lo que buscan será un paso más para ser más felices que hoy. Esto los une y los hace sentir más convencidos que ese es el lugar que quieren!!* Nos alegra que hayan encarado esto con alegria; como un desafío, pero que cuando llegue el triunfo será lo más hermoso....el sueño realizado!! Ya hicieron lo más difícil que es aceptar el desafío y están convencidos ( y nosotros también) que lo lograrán. CONGRATULEITION !!!!. FELICITACIONES!! El mar los espera!! Abraaaazooss!!
Good luck, you have bought a lot of work and you will need great strength of character to win through and make your dream come true, it will be worth it in the end, do as much of the work yourselves as you can so you will be ready with knowledge for the future maintenance that all boats need and don't change the type of sail rig what you have is the perfect schooner rig, one person could sail it if needed. I envy you, even the hard work.
Roberta and Duca sent me. Dios F--ing Mio you guys like to swim in the deep end. I would suggest finding and binge watching Acorn to Arabella and Sampson Boat Co. to see what you are working with. Also Salt and Tar for a couple living on their build. When it comes to the inevitable volunteers that can help, I would go looking for people with youtube video producing experience as your time is going to be best focused on the boat work in the short term. Filming and editing takes a lot of time and dilutes from the progress content you want to attract viewers. Your first task is to dig down to the wood keel structure where the keel and the frames attach; that is the spinal cord of the boat. You need to know that it is usable. Also, if and when you run into the need to replace frames ( the ribs on the boat) consider using UHMW plastic ribs rather than wood. Much easier than steaming or sawing timbers to fit.
@@geebee7341 / The 3 channels mentioned above would be an excellent source for reference on how to and wether or not something should be repaired or replaced ? . This young couple appears to be very new to Sailing and boat repair ? and I would say they've bitten off a real mouthful ! so they will need all the best resources and wisdom they can get their hands on ! and those 3 channels have plenty of it , and will be a good starting point ! . Best regards ;-)
It’s been a long time since we/this/you started. Oh my. What you have done/ accomplished …. Tuning forks are working great. When you are at full sail and underway after the restoration is done. She will be beautiful
Worked with wooden ships before, probably not one leak like other commenters, the oakum's probably rotten and the seams will be pouring some water. Caulking is not so hard, just time intensive and dirty if your hull is still good
@petnzme01 aye yeah, bigger killer is the inside out rot from the damp hull, biggest problem from the outside is the teredo, esp in a clime like brazil, but im no shipwright
You can bet I will be watching and giving you a thumbs up for every video! I love Duca and Roberta, and am envious that you have such a fine couple for friends and advisors. Be Safe!
@@SailingYaba Don't sell yourselves short because you two are amazing too!! I was on edge with your trip and so glad you made it home safe!! Love you both.
Hi, Duca and Roberta sent me over. Yaba looks amazing, any chance of a full tour ? So looking forward to watching the transformation. Take care and stay safe.
So much fun! Blood, sweat and tears coming but the journey is part of the destination. I wish you all the best and will be watching. If you dont mind me asking, what was the initial cost of this big girl? What a dream for many, keep going!
Wow guys....you are so brave and confident! Your boat is gorgeous and we're sorry you're dealing with so many leaks. Hope you have safe travels when you head back out - smart decision to turn around.
conheci essa escuna, estava no Saco da Ribeira....parabens pela compra mas, com certeza, terão muito trabalho, mas, ...tendo o Duca como amigo.................rssss.... vai ficar tudo bem.... parabéns casal
Roberta and Duca Referd me to you all😁!! Wow!!! That boat is HUGE!!! Very Nice!!! Looking forward to watching your Restoration!!! Safe Sails!!! Steve The Plumber Breeding
Congratulations on starting this amazing adventure. Yes I’m another directed here from Odd crew Roberta and Duca. You’ve already had that cool cucumber James from Zingaro drop a comment to you with great suggestion straight up. As others have said there such a variety of information and practical skills out there to draw from just from TH-cam alone. Wish you both the best of luck with Yaba. I’m subscribed and keen to see the next instalment. Q near Sydney, Aus’
Hey Quentin, thanks so much for the support! We have had loads of good advice already just from comments alone. So far TH-cam has been a great help to us 😄 we hope you enjoy the following videos. Greetings from Brazil!
New subscriber here---sent over by Duca and Roberta---and excited to see what you two can pull out of the world of imagination and turn it into a living, breathing, and functional floating home for y'all. Hope I can help along the way with periodic PayPal deposits or, perhaps, a patron type thingy. Best of luck on this endeavor---you sure have "brass ones" to tackle this project.
Hey Klazy! Welcome to the channel, we really hope you enjoy it 😀 duca and Roberta are amazing and helped us out loads so far! Thank you so much for the kind message and supportive words!
Hi We are from Puerto Rico and we are a fan of Roberta and Duca, they have tremendous teachers since they have polished themselves on their sailboat, with God's favor you will also achieve it, our support for you, success ...
Run it onto a sandbank exposed at low tide. For a few hours each day all water will drain out. As the tide rises you will be able to identify where water is coming in. Using a fast curing epoxy and glass mat skin the outside. Cheers Gray Australia
right.. lol In all seriousness, don't try this with a rotten hull like this, you're gonna wreck the boat without proper supports like you get when being put on the hard by a professional.
If you only want the boat to live on and keep in flat waters you may not be as crazy as you appear, keep the water out, and keep it close to the shore. If you want that vessel to be seaworthy then you have an Everest to climb, with money and skills you do not yet possess. Time is your biggest asset and even that will be tested beyond your imagination. You need reliable trustworthy and experienced counsel and support. Remember "Piracy started on the waterfront, not on the high seas".
I second another commentator who recommended that you set up Patreon and PayPal accounts. These accounts will allow those who follow your adventure to financial contribute to the project. Good luck! P.S. When you meet the requirements to monetize the channel, please either do not permit any mid-roll ads or, if possible, limit the number and length of the ads. It is really irritating when a 10-12 minute video is interrupted three or four times with ad breaks and/or the ads exceed 30 seconds and/or there are two ads at each break.
Hey Wendy!! Thank you so much for recommending us to create those accounts. They are done and we saw you there already! Thank you SO SO SO SO much for contributing to our dream project! This means more than words can express!
Hey guys Elliot from Tacoma Washington USA I just watch your latest video graduations you made it going down South to your Hometown so proud you if you look at it this way you took a leaky boat down and you made it so after you work on it and haul out and fix the planking I can only get betterl God-bless
This is going to take forever, if you do not run out of cash before that. This is Tally Ho, Zora, Mistress, Odd Life Crafting, Sailing Less Plastic and Geordie rolled into one but adding 30 feet to the task. I wish you luck and hope that you will not sink together with Yaba,
Hi Guys, great the you have a small ship, I was going to buy a 60 wooden schooner as well but to see it out of the water it was going to cost $15,000 Australian and that was just to look at it out of water. Boat was going for about $20k but needed about $120,000 to get it up to commercial standards. So I said no. Any way all the very best. And new subscriber now.
Blimey! That is expensive! We have the advantage of being in Brazil where wood and labor is a lot more affordable :D Thanks a lot and we hope you enjoy the videos!
Ballsey project Ben and MP ... What did the surveyor say before your purchase? ...from the looks of it it could be a huge project coming (hopefully not as big as Leo's from Sampson Boat Co's 'Tally Ho'). Best of Luck. Potsie. Australia Edit... Ben, you sound a lot like Romain Grosjean (F1 driver) - do you have Swiss/French heritage?

That is a really nice way of putting exactly what I'm thinking.

I know you're just beginning this journey, and you're really excited, and I really love that...I do...but you may indeed want to consider backing out of the deal, if you still can. Wooden boats are fantastic (superior to others, IMHO), and I am sure you could find another like Yaba, but in a little better condition.
Having said that, if you do manage to get her out of the water and onto the hard, it'll be interesting to see just how bad the situation is, and the level of work it's going to take to make it right. If you get a chance, check out "Sampson Boat Co." here on TH-cam. Leo (a trained shipwright/boat builder) saved a 100+ year old wooden yacht and has spent the last 2-3 years (working full time) slowly rebuilding her, piece by piece. That might give you some idea of what's in store for you with Yaba, if she makes it out of the water in one piece.
Best of luck to you! I look forward to the next episode!
We kind of knew what we were getting ourselves into in the beginning and we have embraced the fact that we have entered a long journey by now!
thank you for wishing us luck and we hope you enjoy our next videos! :D
@@SailingYaba OMG! you didn't get it surveyed!!!!??????

Haha you guys are insane! Love it! Make it happen you two!
OMG, she is gonna be GORGEOUS again with your love! 😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing boat!! I don't know how the leak is .. but if you need having connected a water pump 24 hours... from my point of view you should fix the sinking problem there haahah good luck Saludos desde España!!
Thank you so much for your advice! Muchas gracias! We completely understand your point of view.. there’s a lot more at stakes but we are really considering the lift before the trip!
good luck both....roberta and duca have lit the path...enjoy the journey..no manual needed

Muchas gracias abuelindos ❤️

Good luck, you have bought a lot of work and you will need great strength of character to win through and make your dream come true, it will be worth it in the end, do as much of the work yourselves as you can so you will be ready with knowledge for the future maintenance that all boats need and don't change the type of sail rig what you have is the perfect schooner rig, one person could sail it if needed. I envy you, even the hard work.
Roberta and Duca sent me.
Dios F--ing Mio you guys like to swim in the deep end.
I would suggest finding and binge watching Acorn to Arabella and Sampson Boat Co. to see what you are working with. Also Salt and Tar for a couple living on their build. When it comes to the inevitable volunteers that can help, I would go looking for people with youtube video producing experience as your time is going to be best focused on the boat work in the short term. Filming and editing takes a lot of time and dilutes from the progress content you want to attract viewers.
Your first task is to dig down to the wood keel structure where the keel and the frames attach; that is the spinal cord of the boat. You need to know that it is usable. Also, if and when you run into the need to replace frames ( the ribs on the boat) consider using UHMW plastic ribs rather than wood. Much easier than steaming or sawing timbers to fit.
That's solid advice..
Yeah, what he said. i was going to suggest the same channels. perhaps sail life as well as its a quality build if not a woody.
Those are 3 of the best channel recommendations ! / Ruth and Garrett from Salt & Tar are my favourites , Swab too .
Why? There is no comparison unless they are going to rebuild it from the ground up and that’s not likely to happen.
@@geebee7341 / The 3 channels mentioned above would be an excellent source for reference on how to and wether or not something should be repaired or replaced ? . This young couple appears to be very new to Sailing and boat repair ? and I would say they've bitten off a real mouthful ! so they will need all the best resources and wisdom they can get their hands on ! and those 3 channels have plenty of it , and will be a good starting point ! .
Best regards ;-)
Good luck Ben and MP. I’m sure she will turn out to be a beautiful lady. Thanks Roberta and Duca.
Best wishes on your new endeavor. Came here from Odd Life / Duca and Roberta.
Odd Life Crafting crew in the house! Good luck on the boat!!! 😊
Thanks Hans!! And welcome!
Another fan of Old Life Crafting here. I have loved following their journey as I hope to during yours.
We are huge fans as well!! We hope you enjoy our journey too!
Good luck guys 🤞😎
Thank you!
Odd Sailing sent me here, and being from Belgium myself I have to say: "Veel succes met je avontuur!"
It’s been a long time since we/this/you started. Oh my. What you have done/ accomplished …. Tuning forks are working great. When you are at full sail and underway after the restoration is done. She will be beautiful
Great work guys! Looking forward to following your journey! The boat is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!! 😍 we are excited for your videos as well!!
guys love your optimism and enthusiasm, wish you all the best in your endeavor
Worked with wooden ships before, probably not one leak like other commenters, the oakum's probably rotten and the seams will be pouring some water. Caulking is not so hard, just time intensive and dirty if your hull is still good
@petnzme01 aye yeah, bigger killer is the inside out rot from the damp hull, biggest problem from the outside is the teredo, esp in a clime like brazil, but im no shipwright
cant say anything without seeing more of this boat though lmao
You can bet I will be watching and giving you a thumbs up for every video! I love Duca and Roberta, and am envious that you have such a fine couple for friends and advisors. Be Safe!
Thank you so much!! They truly are amazing!
@@SailingYaba Don't sell yourselves short because you two are amazing too!! I was on edge with your trip and so glad you made it home safe!! Love you both.
Came over from Odd Life Crafting! Looking forward to seeing the journey!
Best of luck to you from windsor ont Canada 🇨🇦. Have safe travels .
Thank you loads, Tom!
Hi, Duca and Roberta sent me over. Yaba looks amazing, any chance of a full tour ? So looking forward to watching the transformation. Take care and stay safe.
Don’t give up it’s a beautiful boat!!
So much fun! Blood, sweat and tears coming but the journey is part of the destination. I wish you all the best and will be watching. If you dont mind me asking, what was the initial cost of this big girl? What a dream for many, keep going!
Thank you for the motivating words :D It means a lot to us !We will have a video covering the costs of everything as we go along
Stick to it. Don't be defeated. Nice boat. Your dreams will come true. Good luck.
looking forward to see your adventure!! good luck!
Thank you so much!! 😄 we are also very curious to see how this adventure will go!
It's because of Duca & Roberta Im here with you guys,all the best on the repairs!
One more from Odd, wishing you guys all the best and looking forward to seeing you dreams come true 🤗
Wow guys....you are so brave and confident! Your boat is gorgeous and we're sorry you're dealing with so many leaks. Hope you have safe travels when you head back out - smart decision to turn around.
Thank you so much!!
Love from the Odd Life family, subscribed and looking forward to the adventure of Yaba ❤️👍🏼
Thank you Don!! All "Odd people" are super welcome to our family too!! ❤️
Never accept defeat!! She will sail again, I have total confidence in you ... and Yaba.

Muito obrigado Renato!! Sabemos que temos muito trabalho pela frente assim como sabemos que estamos muito bem acompanhados também!
Your boat is beautiful. We are looking forward to seeing your adventure unfold.
Thank you loads, Alan!! We are also looking forward to see what happens next!
In France we have a saying : " small boat, small problems". I will follow your progresses. Wish you good luck !
Roberta and Duca Referd me to you all😁!! Wow!!! That boat is HUGE!!! Very Nice!!! Looking forward to watching your Restoration!!! Safe Sails!!! Steve The Plumber Breeding
Yoohoo!! Thank you Steve!!
Why buy without a really good inspection .. it should have revealed the problems. Good luck, I think you're going to need it.
Hi, Kids. Duca and Roberta sent us. Can’t wait to get to know you.
Hey! Welcome to our channel! We hope you enjoy the videos :D
Duca and Roberta from Odd Life Crafting sent us over. Hopefully, you'll have the same good luck as they did.......
Easy to see why Duca & Roberta like you guys. I will give you credit for the courage to by a sinking boat. Best of luck!
Congratulations on starting this amazing adventure. Yes I’m another directed here from Odd crew Roberta and Duca. You’ve already had that cool cucumber James from Zingaro drop a comment to you with great suggestion straight up. As others have said there such a variety of information and practical skills out there to draw from just from TH-cam alone.
Wish you both the best of luck with Yaba.
I’m subscribed and keen to see the next instalment. Q near Sydney, Aus’
Hey Quentin, thanks so much for the support! We have had loads of good advice already just from comments alone. So far TH-cam has been a great help to us 😄 we hope you enjoy the following videos. Greetings from Brazil!
Welcome guys, you are in fantastic company, good luck with project 'save yaba' and bond voyage 👍👍👍👍
Thank you Martin! 😀
New subscriber here---sent over by Duca and Roberta---and excited to see what you two can pull out of the world of imagination and turn it into a living, breathing, and functional floating home for y'all. Hope I can help along the way with periodic PayPal deposits or, perhaps, a patron type thingy. Best of luck on this endeavor---you sure have "brass ones" to tackle this project.
Hey Klazy! Welcome to the channel, we really hope you enjoy it 😀 duca and Roberta are amazing and helped us out loads so far!
Thank you so much for the kind message and supportive words!
Hi We are from Puerto Rico and we are a fan of Roberta and Duca, they have tremendous teachers since they have polished themselves on their sailboat, with God's favor you will also achieve it, our support for you, success ...
Run it onto a sandbank exposed at low tide. For a few hours each day all water will drain out. As the tide rises you will be able to identify where water is coming in. Using a fast curing epoxy and glass mat skin the outside.
Cheers Gray
Australia
right.. lol
In all seriousness, don't try this with a rotten hull like this, you're gonna wreck the boat without proper supports like you get when being put on the hard by a professional.
Love the boat. It's going to look great when yall are done. Keep the videos coming in.
Yoohoo, thank you Matthew!! We also believe it will look great when it's ready! More videos coming soon, stay tuned and thanks for watching!
woooowww. To me you got two options: first: you are millionaire and that explain everything. Second option: you're bloody crazy!
We are definitely not millionaires so it must be the second option 😅
If you only want the boat to live on and keep in flat waters you may not be as crazy as you appear, keep the water out, and keep it close to the shore. If you want that vessel to be seaworthy then you have an Everest to climb, with money and skills you do not yet possess. Time is your biggest asset and even that will be tested beyond your imagination. You need reliable trustworthy and experienced counsel and support. Remember "Piracy started on the waterfront, not on the high seas".
Era uma vez... e tudo começou!! que incrível!! parabéns!
Thank Odd Life, Thank Them. I 'm a "NEW" Viewer!
Wishing you all the best as you save this vessel.
I second another commentator who recommended that you set up Patreon and PayPal accounts. These accounts will allow those who follow your adventure to financial contribute to the project. Good luck!
P.S. When you meet the requirements to monetize the channel, please either do not permit any mid-roll ads or, if possible, limit the number and length of the ads. It is really irritating when a 10-12 minute video is interrupted three or four times with ad breaks and/or the ads exceed 30 seconds and/or there are two ads at each break.
Hey Wendy!! Thank you so much for recommending us to create those accounts. They are done and we saw you there already! Thank you SO SO SO SO much for contributing to our dream project! This means more than words can express!
If using ads helps pa- y the Bills do it
Wow! Imagine that beauty parked off a tropical island 🏝 with all that room to live and work. I will be watching each and every episode!
That is a great thought for motivation! Thank you!
Even more people with the passion to save another glorious old wooden boat glad to find you all I will watch your progress :D
Hey guys Elliot from Tacoma Washington USA I just watch your latest video graduations you made it going down South to your Hometown so proud you if you look at it this way you took a leaky boat down and you made it so after you work on it and haul out and fix the planking I can only get betterl God-bless
Easy fix, just a few million bucks or so.
Looking forward to seeing you both fix this up!!..👍🏴
This is going to take forever, if you do not run out of cash before that. This is Tally Ho, Zora, Mistress, Odd Life Crafting, Sailing Less Plastic and Geordie rolled into one but adding 30 feet to the task. I wish you luck and hope that you will not sink together with Yaba,
And Sail Life. Glorious, glorious sanding in sight.
Welcome Yaba! You have your work cut out for you. It will be fun for me to watch your progress.
Hi Guys, great the you have a small ship, I was going to buy a 60 wooden schooner as well but to see it out of the water it was going to cost $15,000 Australian and that was just to look at it out of water.
Boat was going for about $20k but needed about $120,000 to get it up to commercial standards.
So I said no. Any way all the very best.
And new subscriber now.
If the tides were extreme would it be reasonable to work or look at it at low tide?
@@jasonstrong4610 it was in 15 m and we have a tide range of about 1m
Blimey! That is expensive! We have the advantage of being in Brazil where wood and labor is a lot more affordable :D
Thanks a lot and we hope you enjoy the videos!
Roberta and Duca sent me. look forward to watching you 2 bring the old girl back to life
Ballsey project Ben and MP ... What did the surveyor say before your purchase? ...from the looks of it it could be a huge project coming (hopefully not as big as Leo's from Sampson Boat Co's 'Tally Ho'). Best of Luck. Potsie. Australia
Edit... Ben, you sound a lot like Romain Grosjean (F1 driver) - do you have Swiss/French heritage?
What surveyor? There was a surveyor?
@@skillmeup53 umm yes.. what a silly assumption on my behalf... : )
Greetings from Austin Texas USA! And welcome! We are Odd Life followers and look forward to watching your journey. Blessings - Lynn
