"Shipwright's disease" is a term sometimes used in the marine world. It describes a situation where a sailor owns a boat with a burned out light in the galley. The sailor decides to change the bulb, but then notices that the socket is corroded and decides to change the socket. While trying to change the socket, the sailor notices that the wiring is frayed. This ultimately ends in a major undertaking and up to rebuilding the entire boat. This ties directly into the Ship of Theseus concept.
I have never seen anyone enjoy life the way you do. Nothing seems to phase you or get you down and considering you are sort of a newbie your videos are already entertaining and very professional. You are destined for the top and I intend to follow your journey.
Your videos are way over the top of the average YT cruiser videos. I can't believe you are new to video editing. They look so very professional and are super fun, entertaining. Thanks a lot for your work. I wish you and your family an enjoyable cruising time.
I'm glad to hear that Parlay crew treated you like one of them without knowing you. But let me tell you something, you deserve it. You and your wife look that are great individuals and Colin and Jamie I could see the same. Keep your good humor and enjoy life and take care of your family and friends. Overall be proud of your hard work and dedication. Take care of your wife she put up with you getting the boat ready and giving a hand. Take care.
You know at one time during the worst of the grind, I was contemplating flying down there and just showing up to help Colin, because for a bit he looked like he was really struggling. There's just something about seeing a job, a challenge that looks extremely tough, but has an amazing outcome when done that makes you want to embrace the suck and go through unbelievable effort and pain just to go from "what if", to reality. It doesn't surprise me that these two boat owners helped each other, just sharing the dream.
Congratulations! You have done an amazing job on that boat. AND 2 videos 2 weeks in a row!🤣 (with “minimal” help) So glad you’ve had Mary and two of the kids with for the last bit. You guys do make an amazing team. Can’t wait to see what you get up to when you learn to drive the boat.
One of my favorite things about your channel is the way you explain everything makes sense to me. Truly one of my favorite informational channels. I’ve loved watching you all fix this boat and I am so excited that your family can now get out and enjoy it! Well done!!
Man love the energy. Show some more of the family lifestyle like school work and how you keep the kids entertained. I’m wanting to do something like this in the next few years with my family and I would love to see how you live your life and get by and how you afford it.
Yes we WILL miss the fibre glassing. I think you need a sugar scoop - twice the size of parlay - and a bow extension, and a fancy upgraded flybridge. Oh damn thats a lot of work.
Hey Mary! Since you read all of these I just wanted to say you are a Saint for putting up with him ON TOP OF DEALING WITH THE KIDS. Enjoy seeing you in the videos and your efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Happy Sailing!
Hey Trey!!! It's a lot of work, but so rewarding. I'm going to get him back for showing the world my most embarrassing moment...just not sure how yet. 🤣
I have followed your voyage with Colin and Jamie and the support they have given to you and your family and have now subscribed to your website. It fascinating to watch all of you and the way you are all so hyped up about life. Sitting here in the middle of France it is wonderful to watch your exploits on Both boats - you always bring a large smile into my life - Thanks to you all.
thanks for the sub my friend! Parlay has been a godsent...we'd never be where we are today if not for them. i'm so glad you're getting somethign out of these videos! more coming soon!
David - you do a great job on the video editing and describing/showing how you are doing to the repairs. I hope as a future owners (someday) I NEVER have to use them. Watched all of Parlay's series and now yours. Keep up the great work. Really interested to eventually see how you do the carpentry work in the cabins.
hey CP! thanks so much....i too hope you never have to do these repairs! Can't wait to do some real boat life !!!! I still havent fixed the cabins yet, but we'll definitely turn one of them into an office and the other into a kids quad bunk!
Some darn good rules to fix boats by David, but also remember the Govotos axiom of buying boat parts (named after Dan Govatos): When something breaks, buy 3. One to fix the broke one, one for the one about to break on the other side, and one to have as a spare and give away when you sell with the boat.....
Thank you David, by far one of the most entertaining Videos I have seen on a sailing channel. Your Mix of humour, family, boatwork, fails and success is outstanding. Your creativity is mindblowing, and every Video is worth the wait, love you and your family, man would I like to meet all of you, hope one day you will sail in the Meds! ❤
David, you of the lot of them deserve a ton more.....a very special person and family, an equally special YT channel you've created.....knew it from the beginning. We now need to see your butts out on the water. Cheers and hugs,
Your video’s are so entertaining. You and Mary make a great team. Can’t wait to follow your families adventures. I hope you are all very proud of yourselves!
Yes we will need glassing refreshes at least once a month!! As loyal subscribers we demand... um errr. Ok not demand just request it once a month! 😂🤣😂👍👍
I love how humble you are man. Your not pretending to be someone who knows what they’re doing, your just an average Joe trying to enjoy life! Keep livin!
Man your video story telling abilities are excellent! I would continue to watch your videos on whatever topic. Parlay videos are informative mainly for those into boats, but yours are really entertaining.
What a great format for a quick recap every ten videos or so and for shorts make each segment make sense in its own right and the recap video let’s viewers catch up and if they want more the link to the longer version Is right there
you're one of the few that noticed it and i appreciate that! i spent hours, no, days coming up with that lol! its been my experience with working on boats for sure!
i'm working on it... this next one i'm spending about the 3rd of the time editing, so please let me know what you think... especially if the quality drops.
I so like your scientific approach and theories on boat projects. You should write a book about it! Especially, the Snowball-Theory is spot on. I never knew...
Great job David and Mary. I couldn’t imagine all the work you did on your boat. The thankless hours spent on the bulkheads alone and that fibreglass dust! Yuck and you persevered. Well done.
This episode was so awesome. It was worth waiting for. I can’t wait to see Epic in the water. Mary and David, you two are sooo easy to watch. I’m glad I watched you from day one even though I smashed my truck doing so. Oh well life goes on. See you in the next episode.
please don't ever let me forget that you're the one that crashed while watching one of our episodes. that literally my greatest accomplishment in life. i need to interview you on video to put in a video one of these days.
That would be awesome but my wife thinks the lady in front of me (who sued my insurance company) was the bad driver. Nope it was me watching a David Shih video. Lol. So anytime you want I’m available.
Grand slam home run brother!! You definitely knocked this video out of the park! 👍👍 And Mary you are an absolute Boss on so many levels! You and David have such great onscreen chemistry and I have no doubt that this channel is going to be a huge success!!!! Love you guys!
Yep and there you go! Bitter sweet. Loved watching you get this far, will miss it! But can’t wait for you to get in the water! You are truly an inspiration, or just plain daft! You can’t even sail?? Well done to you and the wonderful wife !
Okay, I admit it. I've watched this video 3 times now. First with the patreon release, then with my wife, and now on a rainy morning for motivation to keep working on our new (old) O'Day 23. I love the energy and edits of the videos. Freaking awesome 🤘🤘🤘
yeah baby!!!! thanks so much for the support on patreon brother, you dont know how much it means to us! Didn't know you had an oday 23! what parts are you working on at the moment?
@@david_shih We got the boat so we could learn to sail before we bought a bigger boat... Right now we just finished putting the bulkheads back in (no fiberglassing needed for this set up thank goodness!) Everything is getting recorded for that one day that I can spend time editing 😳😂
Coming back to comment a second time - your editing is phenomenal @david_shih. In a sea of good content on TH-cam this feels like it was designed and edited by a professional at the top of their game. Congratulations to you and the family.
a 2nd comment? appreciate that my friend! the algorithm loves that. thanks for noticing the editing, i really do spend a lot of time on it. way more than i should probably. 🙏
Good for you David Nice to see that you have finished your boat and now you and your family Hears hoping that will turn out great after all you work on this project boat in your futures.
This is awesome, David and Mary! Always good to have the fam get in on the fun of boat work. I've been watching since you rolled into Linton Bay and still had old videos on your page and I gotta say it's exciting to see the next chapters unfold. Cheers Shih fam! Keep rockin
I just found your channel bro I love it. I’m 23 years old saving right now to outfit a 35 foot sailboat and sell around the world with my fiancé and dog while filming the whole thing on TH-cam. Sailing SY HOZHO is my channel. Can’t wait to start my channel and journey this video is making me itch.
I got rid of cable tv and really only watch YT now a days. Your videos are super fun to watch. Tremendous energy and just great fun. Your deep love for your Family shines through! Cheers to you guys! wp.
What? I was already to watch the condensed version of what I’ve been watching all along when it just STOPPED! Then I read the “fine print” about premiering in 29 hours. You got me David! Until tomorrow!
Awe yeah, always a good day when a new David Shih video pops up. Cool to see more of the story of getting your boat back to top shape. Incredible amount of work, that you somehow make look like a fun adventure. Cheers from Puerto Rico!
@@david_shih getting fixed. We lost the fore stay 120 miles north of PR and then the mast came down about 50 miles from shore. But new mast got stepped yesterday. Well be sailing again shortly hopefully.
I haven’t watched your videos before, but don’t think I’ve enjoyed a fixit video as much as I did this one! I’ll be finding more of these to watch! Donate for a Dream
One of your best David and what a great team. Lagoon need a kick in the ass to lift their game. They should get down on their hands and knees and beg you to be a consultant to them. Your the Lagoon God now. Your boat represents what Lagoon need to aspire to, quality, care, durability, functional, seaworthiness and style. Your videos need to be made compulsory viewing in the Lagoon Boardroom and factory floor. They can lean many lessons. You video is inspiring and I feel once you in the water you and the family will reap the rewards and have a life time of adventure, memories and love. I try wish you and your family joy, good health and nay all your wishes cone true. Cheers Martin
thanks so much Martin! i worked really hard on this one! Lagoon watches all these vids actually, but they're business, so have to keep the bottom line in mind i guess
I'm trying hard to get these out faster, but they take quite a bit of work to edit. I thought this one was goign to take 1 week and a half max but it ended up being double!
@@david_shihI absolutely believe it. Most people laugh and say TH-cam isn't a job. I laugh and say try making a video then. 1 week, 1 month, 1 year don't worry. We all will watch the next one with the same excitement thanks to your hard work.
yo greg!!!! fiji?!?!?! damn bro you're living the dream...i'm just pretending lol! hope to chase you down one of these days. where are you headed next?
@@david_shih I'm on the boat brudda?? Wow. I didn't notice. I've just got back from sailing Vietnam to Canada, 7000nm, so if you need crew.... I'll hop on a plane.
"Shipwright's disease" is a term sometimes used in the marine world. It describes a situation where a sailor owns a boat with a burned out light in the galley. The sailor decides to change the bulb, but then notices that the socket is corroded and decides to change the socket. While trying to change the socket, the sailor notices that the wiring is frayed. This ultimately ends in a major undertaking and up to rebuilding the entire boat. This ties directly into the Ship of Theseus concept.
dude....i need to add these to the laws of boat work... thanks josh!
I have never seen anyone enjoy life the way you do. Nothing seems to phase you or get you down and considering you are sort of a newbie your videos are already entertaining and very professional. You are destined for the top and I intend to follow your journey.
Yeah???? Tell him he’s got. Redo 6 of his bulkheads.
I think he’ll cry
Then after a good cry…. He’ll start to wonder where the 6th bulkhead came from
well thank you so much for following! and thanks for the kind words!
DSS just needs a editor! Lol ! Great comment!,-

will do! especially once we start sailing!
Yes we WILL miss the fibre glassing.

Oh damn thats a lot of work.
ooooooh i like the sound of all of that!!! come help?
@@david_shih watch out. I'm feeling keen
Your wife is a trooper, putting up with all that boat work and being sick in the tropics and the heat. She is a keeper for sure.
so true...would you believe she was also still working fulltime remotely while doing all that? i talk about it in the next episode!
Sailboat is an awesome community. They are aware of all the struggles and you are part of it… and please keep posting fiberglass repairs😄
so true gio, its a very unique group of helpful people!

You video is inspiring and I feel once you in the water you and the family will reap the rewards and have a life time of adventure, memories and love.
I try wish you and your family joy, good health and nay all your wishes cone true.
Cheers
Martin
