    Colin has done everyone including Lagoon a great service. The issue is known, it is being addressed and helps those of us shopping for a boat assist with our due diligence.

      Despite their (lagoon's) acknowledgement of the issue, there is no doubt in my mind that sales and resale are going to have a dramatic impact. You heard Colin talking about thier quick fix (u-channel hack). Not God enough. The bulkheads need to three times the existing thickness of 18mm.

    Colin mentioned a couple of time how much Jamie had meant to him,,, Parley had NOT been Revived without Jamie at his side,,, so he changed Parley from a Lagoon 450 to a Jamie 465,,, just shows Colins tremendous wisdom and heart

    THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!! I'm an 81 year old landlocked fart who has been on a sail boat ONCE, for an afternoon.
    I have been following Collin for years, started just after he first bought Parlay. You ALL are such a Great Inspiration! Again, Thank You!!

    Colin is an incredible guy, nothing seems to phase him !
    When his entire boat was falling apart just as they were setting off to cross the Pacific and then got struck by lightening you could see the disappointment on his face but you could also see that he was never going to quit and he would find a way to fix it !
    I was reading comments on his video from people saying he should just walk away from that boat and he'd made a big mistake buying a hurricane damaged catamaran but I think that just made him more determined to fix it !
    Watching him and Jamie ripping out the prefabricated interior to get to the damage was shocking, it looked like they were destroying everything, I never thought they would ever get it back together right, but I was wrong !

    It's not just the bulkhead fail. It's all the collateral damage that can result from the entire two hulls flexing out of position. What a mess. Now there are two solid 450s in the world, Colin's and Dave's.

      I've never met the guy, and I'll bet $1 neither have you. Infront of the camera he appears like a wonderful human being, but let's not forget, he is afterall an actor playing a part who chooses what we do and don't see in a 20 minute upload that is made from hundreds of hours of footage that takes many hours to edit.

    I binge watched Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Colin was a frickin' rock star... Basically the only one on the boat (besides the skipper) that wasn't "screwing" around. He was a class act every episode... the voice of reason when shit hit the fan.. Glad to see you're up and running, man..... James, these interview podcast are a lot of fun and very informative. Cheers, you guys.

    Good recap of the PARLAY story. There are several boat building or boat refit stories going on right now. Colin's story is one of my favorites. His character and his crews characters set them apart. MJ sailing is cool, because they are building an entire boat and Jessica's electric blue eyes. Dauntless is another good story of a rebuild. So many sailing/ building/rebuilding channels right now.

After watching a few more I decided to start from the beginning and watched all of his episodes. That branched into watching Plukky, MJ sailing, Wind Hippie, Wildlings, GBU and now Zingaro. I love seeing all of you overlap at destinations as well, definitely adds additional reality to your stories. Keep up the good work James!

Zingaro…keep up this kind of honest content. Winner in my book. To Parlay……hats off to crew for the work. Just finished 6 mths on the hard so completely understand.

      I also live with regrets. Maybe you could buy a boat anyhow that you can sleep on, even if it’s docked at a marina, and take some day trips if you’re health permits. You don’t necessarily have to sail around the world to have fun.

I work full time in China in wine, own a 78 year old family welding business in the usa I grew up doing and used to be a professional waterskier. Sold my last project ski boat in the usa this week. In search of finding a 40-50 foot sailboat in okay shape I can put a lot of work into. Stainless work and solar etc are easy. Goal is to get a boat park it next to my shop build it out with everything I need and then sail if from Lake Michigan to salt water then find you guys. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I am an overlander and stumbled across Parlay Revival and was hooked. Fun, challenges, technical skills but it is the inspiration of watching Jamie who is always laughing and Colin and his we can do it never give up attitude. I have now watched a few Sailing Zingaro and they have been really entertaining. However, may I say, so far this for me was an excellent Vlog. Good questions, interesting and insightful also demonstrating knowledge of sailing and geography as well as experiences. Awesome - thank you for taking the time to share.

Allowed Colin to use most of the time to tell his extremely interesting story. You did a great job allowing him the time needed without rushing it, or feeling the need to constantly chip in. The demands for you guys to put out material is so great, it’s difficult to a) allocate the time for this and b) get another extremely busy channel to give up their time to be interviewed properly. Cudos to both of you guys. More please 🙏. Best wishes from the UK (waiting for Covid travel restrictions to lift so we can get our new Seawind 1260).

    Finally! A real story! Everything that Colin and you said is very true about owning a boat.
    But for me I loved Every day when I had my Boat. (A 42' aft cabin motor yawt back in the 90ds) I just hated the time away from my wife. I would only see her on the weekends. So after 5 years I sold her. A sad day for me.
    But ya'll are very wright. You buy the boat and it goes down fast befor it comes back up. But years later when you look back on it. It was All a Good time. The people you meet and the friends you make are for Life! And for me it was some of the Best times of my life.
    So thanks for the video again.

    Hey guys, Great video. You talked about going to the Galapagos, We went through the Panama Canal and then to Ecuador. From there we went to Galapogos without a visa, but the port captains give you a week or so to sort out any "issues" you have with your boat, (At each port). From there, we were far enough away from land that by going up to Mexico we missed the doldrums and the horrible area around the Gulf of Tehuantepec. We didn't get to do the sea of Cortez. My advice, take your time. NZ will still be here when you get home, but it is a long way back across the Pacific. Best of luck.

Hell they put way more on the boat just getting ready to take a long passage! You have a boat that can go enywhere. So a few extra Ounces or pounds isn't going to make any difference.

      The Boat is only going to go from 5 to 10 knots ether way. It is Not a racing boat. It is just a Cruising boat. And if I was going to cross Is oceans with it. I would want to be safe. And if safety is 250 pounds of fiberglass so be it.

      Extra weight on a cat is negative for performance and safety. Still entirely worth it, if you don't have a strong boat you won't have one.

    Right after Riley on La Vagabond bought his new Catamaran and started sailing, he went through the entire boat and got rid of every structural creaking noise with a file and filler material. He claimed he could not sleep while sailing, if his boat was making noises where not normal sailing noises.

    Colin is just an amazing young man.his attitude is “I won’t let anything beat me .if it’s going to be tough,bring it on .he just say’s I’ll sort it out whatever it takes.
    The fact is is through his persistence he’s helped hundreds of Lagoon owners and probably saved some boats and possibly some people as well.he should feel very proud of that.
    As the song says …. He is just bad to the bone !!

    After 15 years and 100,000 miles of sailing RTW, I can relate. You need a slightly crazy woman who will go without the modern conveniences. You guys are going to love the South Pacific. I did two laps in the 1990's, and have super fond memories of people who were genuinely happy to see visitors. I am afraid to go back and see if they lost their culture of singing and dancing to cell phones and the internet.

    Appreciate this discussion. Eye-opening. Really makes you wonder how much that rigging was over-cinched down when Colin got the boat. Glad he's back in the water having fun.

    Hey, that was cool man! Dig watching Colin's channel. Been watching for over a year now. James, you are such a great down to earth guy. Been watching Plukky too. I myself spent a year on the hard in the Marina at the Durban yacht lift, gutting and refitting all the woodwork on a 55ft yacht, that we transported on top the deck of a container ship from the Seychelles. All good, so know the feeling of the amount of work involved!! Great stuff. Keep the films rolling. Hope to see all you guys sometime.

    I knew a fisherman from Alaska and met him in Kona where we both caught aquarium fish. David Dart had an exclusive fishing permit from the Government of Mexico that allowed him to fish for and export the Clarion angel fish which is the rarest and most valuable aquarium fish on the market. 30 years ago the wholesale value of each fish was $500 US dollars
