5 Years Neighbors Laughed at Our Building a Yacht in Backyard, But Then They Were Amazed

- This is the story of building our homemade yacht in the backyard. We built the yacht mainly with my wife, but relatives and friends also helped us in the construction.
We have been building the yacht for 5 years, and spent $ 30,000 on all materials.
In this time-lapse we will show you the whole process of creating a wooden sailing yacht from making frames to sea trials under sail.
We are a happy young couple, Gena and Vita. We like to equip life around us with our own hands. So we feel as independent as possible and realize ourselves creatively. We love making videos and try to make them useful. Therefore, we will develop and further develop this channel. We have many more construction projects that we will surely surprise you with. If you support family values and love to create with your own hands, welcome to our CREATIVE COUPLE family
In 2017, we were forced to sell the yacht as we wanted to quickly finish building our house, but we are already hatching a plan to build a new expeditionary aluminum yacht.
Here you can see the history of the construction of our house: • The Unexpected Transfo...
We made the project for the yacht ourselves, you can download it from this link: drive.google.com/file/d/19U934pMDDZfNXlfW4gocBjlMftsrDKi6 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

*Hello friends. We have started a new series of videos about building a dream workshop. In the first series, we prepared the old garage for restoration, as it will be part of the workshop. And they destroyed the ancient barn to the ground, as it does not fit into the new architecture of our backyard. We hope you enjoy our first video in this series:* th-cam.com/video/2CLIptIcp8g/w-d-xo.html
Wasn't surprised by the pirate flag at all, you're true pirates because you challenge the impossible and sail to your dream :)
Im honestly curious of what difficulties were present due to your wife (girlfriend?) being pregnant for some of the project, and how that effected the timeline for the project and how it affected stuff like moral.
I once made a cutting board. So I'm impressed by your wood project to say the least.
Hope you are still enjoying Galaxy. I'll check out your shop, yes. Bon voyage!
how good u have to be to enter Heaven? how many lies do u have to tell to be a liar? have u ever stolen b4 even somethin small? have you ever lusted or coveted? have you ever hated anyone? have u ever cursed or used God's name in vain? have u ever been rude or impatient or unkind or selfish?
........we have broken God's laws but Jesus has paid our fine!
...this only applies to u when you transfer the trust from your 'self', to the savior! where does the moon get its light from? the sun! what if the moon tried to shine light on its own apart from the Sun? it couldn't! and neither can we live a good Pure Life and enter Heaven unless we have faith in the son of God
It doesn't look like a typical self-built DIY project, this looks like it came straight out of a shipyard, built by veteran yacht builders. Insane detail and quality!
Pretty sure I saw this video a while ago and the guy was an actual ship builder as a trade. Did this in his spare time.
@@Avi-on5jp That would certainly explain why it looks so nice and sails so well.

This isn’t just a yacht. This is truly a work of art. You’ve built yourself a fine ship.

Don't forget about da boys
They also helped

And everyone will be like bullshit lmao I got the video to prove it. Lol
It is very comforting to know in my advanced years that the world is still producing young people
with this level of drive and dedication. It is vital asset of every society no matter how advanced.
You and your wife are to be richly praised and your family and friends commended !
All I can say is 100% agree with every word!! Well Done!$
Its nice ain't it.
Just buy one and sail it away...is my thinking
Recycle those steel hull mamas
Well said.
I can only imagine the feeling of having your daughter dance on the edge of the boat. 2 beautiful things you and your wife have brought into this world together in 1 moment of bliss. Props to you man this is beautiful.
Such hard work and dedication involved! The artistry shows through. But to see your daughter dancing on the foredeck just, well, brought a tear to my eye. Getting old so appreciating the hard work that accomplished such beauty. Congrats! You deserve every accolade!
Have to be honest here, I did *not* expect this level of craftsmanship when I clicked on this video. The design looks very well thought out and the woodwork is second to none.
You just spoke out my mind.
Jesus loves all of you repent of your sins which is bad things belive that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess Jesus as lord and you will be saved
I honestly couldn't believe how talented they were , if you know then you know . But them angles are skills on skill
All it needs now is battle cannons to bomb the Kremlin!!!
@@danielkyzer2970 PLUS the added detail work that's just for show. Having undertaken some vast projects of my own, it's REALLY asking a lot to add detailed artwork into the design when just getting it DONE is such a long arduous process. It's a piece of art work in my view, along with the fact it seems like a very functional design and end result. REALLY nice work.
Growing up, my best friend's dad built a 48 foot boat in his backyard. After a few years of watching all his hard work, along with some of ours on weekends, it was an honor to go on the maiden voyage with the family.
May God bless you and your family and your country. Never give up, never give in. Fight like hell to keep what is rightfully yours.

Outstanding work to you and friends and family who helped. She is beautiful!
I look at a lot of sail boats on the internet. This is a beautiful boat. I love the design and the looks, especially the interior. And she's fast and man can she turn on a dime. I don't know how you did it but this is a brilliant work. The dedication and work you put into this is just overwhelming to me. You have my highest admiration and respect.
This guy is gifted. The workmanship, in a tent with homemade jigs...astonishing. renews my faith that men can still use their hands to build wonderful things
And lots of money.
@@jeromebullard6123 you're probably right. omg this sounds cheezy but growing older, i'd say their family and people around them are the true gift. you could have tons of money, but the 5 year journey along with people - can't trade that to any amount of money
Guys will do a lot for women who are worth it.
@@jeromebullard6123 In the video, they literally stated that the materials cost them around 30,000 bucks. The rest is just time and effort. (Granted that's still a shit ton of money, but buying such a yacht would be WAY more expensive)
I wonder if he was working another job, or if this was a full time commitment
When the world seems to lose hope, these kind of people gave me hope that humanity somehow will survive. What a sheer determination it was to execute such huge task and kept the same passion for 5 years. Stay safe!

you are simply amazing! You have built a beautiful yacht from scratch, done most of it yourselves, and the result is fabulous! You can be truly proud of yourselves, and I hope you have a fun time sailing her. I just found your channel, and look forward to following you , thanks for the video.
I've been a carpenter/woodworker for over 40 years and I'd never attempt anything of that scale. Some people have a gift and you are definitely gifted. Great job, absolutely beautiful. The satisfaction of enjoying something you've created with your own hands cannot be described. Again my hat's off to the both of you.
try something new if you are able to! get out of your comfort zone!
One of my neighbors did this a few years back. Him and his brother worked on a boat for about 2 years every evening, and when they were done, they ended up selling it. Someone saw it and bought it cash for 140k, so the brother took off for a year and built two more, and now they build 4 yatchs a year and make a living off them. Went from welders/ carpenters to boat builders. Lol
They beated CC! 👍 :-))
@@schlaemzas thats how i became bi lol woohoo
My uncle was a carpenter. He used to come up to our cabin where my did was doing some woodwork. Weekends and vacation, he wouldn't touch a hammer with a ten foot pole. I've done some woodwork, and what these people did is not even possible in my mind. Wonder if the true story involved a boat builder they could consult with? I can't imagine how many times they effed up and had to throw it out and start over. Just look at that table in the cabin. And the patience...5 years...
For the record, I'd have been the neighbor who kept coming over asking if you needed any help, just so I could see this amazing project take shape. Man, what an accomplishment! Smooth sailing, y'all!
Can confirm. I've been the neighbor's neighbor asking the neighbor how the neighbor's neighbor's yacht was taking shape. Smooth sailing!
@@vVemoXnemoVv Can confirm as well, I was the neighbors' neighbors neighbor asking if my neighbors neighbor had any news of the yacht. I was laughing at first but I was amazed at what my neighbor found out from his neighbors neighbor.
Man what an accomplishment. thank you for letting me watch this journey with yall. Beautiful Boat. enjoy!!!
Respekt! Was für ein wunderschönes und wendiges Schiff! Gratulation! Wer einmal ein Boot restauriert oder gebaut hat, kann stolz sein! Alles gute und immer eine handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel und allzeit gute fahrt!
That's a gorgeous sailboat. Beautiful design. The fact that you've built it yourselves must be one amazing feeling. I'll bet no one's laughing now.
I think that noone is laughing, because they are all being bombed by RuSSia.
Who? Who is laughing?
@@sfeewrfsf2578 my thought exactly. if you're creating something or building something nobody would laugh. people would be impressed if you said you're building a boat, let alone a yatch
Only those who have better things to do for 5 years and went and bought a professially built boat, which probably took about 2 weeks of arrangements and then they haad a boat to use already.
@@GeorgiosD90 but some people want to make there own stuff and feel proud "better things to do" there are no better things to do that work hard

I've been sailing since 2014, and I absolutely love it.
It would be a dream come true to build my own boat.
Wonderful video. I enjoyed every second.
Love how you ended with your daughter dancing on the deck. Made me a bit teary
I can't even imagine how one decides to get into such a massive undertaking as building A FUCKING YACHT by hand! And not only that, but also have it turn out as incredible as it did.

You guys are an inspiration to all of us. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with the world.
I love this! My grandfather built a friendship sloop in his backyard in the 1940s. We have photos of the whole neighborhood helping him tow it, using massive log rollers, through the streets of Brooklyn to the water. What a spectacle! Nice to see that same spirit alive today. 😊
@Jon Hesson Haha. Yeah he had to roll the boat all the way to Sheepshead Bay. Didn't swim in that water much, though. Sailed the boat from there to Halifax. 😉
This is the good life. Thanks for sharing your story along with this family sharing their journey. Read their pinned post, its chilling.
I dont like how you build that, spending your free time and money on it and now you drive around with it and get to enjoy it.
I don't like how people like you have a carefree life while others struggle.

Man builds yacht in backyard for five years while wife pregnant and helps with construction. Incredible! Great to see your five year old on the yacht. Inspirational.
I can't even fathom where you begin, to build a yacht. All the hard work that was put into this was amazing.
My man woke up one day and decided to build a yacht!
tbh like any project ... start with the idea ... then a drawing ... then make plans ... the usual process for anything ...
@@0623kaboom But those are the plans. Making it is a different story when you are doing it for the first time. You have to figure it out as you go, and try not to mess up (something done out of sequence, or scrapped something.), so you don't have rework or have to back track the process. As a life long non-union machinist, manufacturing engineer and now a small business owner I can tell you tat after I get the idea, draw the prints and make the plans,------If it is your first time making it, you will find yourself "winging it", intelligently as you figure out how to make it. Just drawing the prints and sending it to china, (which was the "USA busting" decision, to mix free enterprise with communism.), is what you speak of. The reason why their neighbors laughed, (for those who did), is because they never thought of what it takes to make something. Now they are amazed, at what we sound be doing.
Now they are amazed, at what we "should" be doing.
Apperently start by building a covered area to build it in, then pick a design and find the plans. Then just start picking away.
Wow, that's impressive. Wonderful to see your family too.
It’s funny I old I suffer from depression and severe anxiety… with all the chaos going on in the world. I came across this video, you and your family and friends put a smile on my face. Thank you!
I’m lost for words… A huge credit to the family’s talent, workmanship & skill set.. awesome vid, the kind of people who are few and far between…👌 awesome video, what a bloody awesome life achievement 👍👍☺️☺️
She’s a beauty! Congrats!
I do some wood working and I'm a mechanical engineer. I can tell this can't be done just by watching tutorials... This couple has some serious skills and backgrounds. Tons of dedication heart and love obviously
Same. This is amazing dedication to a tough project.
ahh ..that's why there is a "pause " button ..DUH! :)
Another thing i can think of is paying for some architect in the ship building industry to draw up a blueprint.
I’m now building my second boat. Full credit to the guy. It’s a lot of work. I know. But anyone with reasonable carpentry skills could build this boat. Laminated frames, strip planked hull. There’s an endless list of videos on TH-cam on these tried and true techniques. Follow the plans ( which he probably didn’t draw ), be accurate, and it will turn out fine. It’s not rocket science. Just hard work.
Honestly is there anything that you and your family cannot achieve??? You all are amazing!!!
The ultimate do-it-yourself. Must have felt awesome to say and feel the "We made this!"
Unbelievable work ! Not many people in this world could pull this off ! Respect.
I’m completely impressed with this! I can’t even imagine how much planning, headaches, and stress went into a project like this but man, am I glad this worked out for you guys. It’s definitely a beautiful piece of construction! The satisfaction of putting it in the water and seeing it float for the first time must have been overwhelming. 🔥
I would honestly find it relaxing to build a boat by hand
Family friends of ours built a 60ft concrete yacht in their back yard, it took them probably 10 years. Finished it just in time for retirement, sold everything they owned and took off in their yacht to travel the world. Absolute legends. It’s awesome seeing people achieve their dream no matter how long or how much hard work it takes. Fantastic work you should be super proud!

Where did you base your designs on? How did you learn all the trades, plumbing, electrical, etc
Can't imagine the feeling of sailing in a yacht you built with your own hands, amazing work guys!!! 💪🎉
I'm blown away! The number of things to consider and the number of skills required to pull this off boggles the mind. And you not only built a working yacht, it is also a piece of art with so many customized details and decals. Absolutely breathtaking and an example of what can be achieved with competence, perseverance and the knowlege shared by people before us.
And a fair bit of money, You can't be poor and build a fine yacht like that even when you do most of the work yourself. Selling it must have hurt though!
That had to be a a great feeling to finally launch and then eventually take the first sail
What an accomplishment to have created such a beautiful vessel
Is it less expensive to build your own yacht, rather than buying one?
Most people probably won´t believe you build it, until given proof. Amazing work. Be proud, very proud. This is a skill and a mindset fewest people have. Congrats and good wind.
One of the few couples that aren't in it for themselves but rather each other, well done
That is some beautiful craftsmanship, would definitely fit in with any high dollar yacht crowd. With that being said, my best wishes and prayers for you and your family through this ridiculous war. I hope someday soon you can go back to smooth sailing

great job! I think one thing I learned from watching this vid is how much FINISHED surface you continually have to work on to get all the details worked out and completed... every move you make has to be precision to make the boat right. cool stuff!

My grandfather and father did the same thing in our yard in Banff when I was young. The boat was named Galatea, which is now the name of my business. Great memories, awesome work guys!
Fun fact : "Galatea" is a mythological character whose name means "she who is milk-white". It is based on the Greek root γᾰ́λᾰ (gála, “milk”), which also gave the word "galaxy", which is... the name of the boat built on the video.
Fun fact n°2 : the word "galaxy" actually comes from γαλαξίας (galaxías, “milky”). In Greek mythology, the trickster god Hermes suckled the infant Heracles at the breast of Hera, the queen of the gods, while she was asleep. When Hera awoke, she tore Heracles away from her breast and splattered her breast milk across the heavens, forming the white strip of stars that was called the "Milky Way" during thousands of years. Later we discovered that all the stars visible with bare eyes were within the same group of stars, and that there were countless of such groups of stars very far from our. We then used the term "Milky way" to name our own group of stars and we used the root "galaxias" to name these groups of billions of stars.

Totally amazing job. Hell, I've been in residential construction and a cabinet maker my whole life and I don't know if I'd attempt such a project. But one beautiful backyard yacht. You have to be very proud running that through the waters of where ever you are docked.
Imagine building your own yacht by hand. wow. Looks amazing
OMG, what a beautiful story. chasing your dreams and working hard to make that a reality! So beautiful to see the wife pregnant and then to see their daughter dancing on the vessel of their dreams! Superb! Bravo!!! Magnificent!!!
This is incredible. I think too often some take for granted the amount of work, time, and talent that goes into making things, almost like they magically appear out of the end of a machine. This gives a high level of respect for what goes into building something from nothing, just the design alone, let alone the building of it! I applaud you folks!
What a boat! Sheesh I never woulda imagined that when y’all started. Cheers!
Absolutely winning in life ❤ we need more of these ppl
Very cool. My dad and I built our first two sailboats, before sailing a 32-foot Mariner to the Caribbean, where my family lived throughout my high school and college years. I've sailed my entire life, and absolutely love what you've created with Galaxy. You should be proud of your craftsmanship and passion. Cheers to you all.
i cannot begin to explain how amazed i am by your project. THAT looks like so so so much work and so much knowledge needed to do suck task....honestly amazing
Mad respect for the carpentry that went into this. As a carpenter myself, those inlays are absolutely beautiful. May the wind be at your back and the sun shine on your face. Fairwinds my friend.
Erin go braugh!
@TRUMP2024 thank you. I fully support your username 💯 2024 .... Evict sleepy Joe

2024 baby!! save our great nation!!

@@kevio6868 will said my friend....
I doubt anybody laughed at any stage of this project. Even the shelter was build very well and any other piece was just professionally constructed. There was clearly a professional background present at all times. Very tastefully done. Nice shapes.
This doesn’t look like “we spontaneously decided to build a yacht!” to me. Like you said, very much appeared to be a professional background present at all times.
@@million_heir5298 indeed. High tier DiY
Just seeing the steps of making it makes me happy.
But when I saw his success
The happiness I saw was beyond words 😍
Can't believe this was built in a backyard. What an accomplishment! It sails beautifully.
That's an understatement. That boat handles like a dream compared to most sailboats that size. Incredible agility.
Dosnt matter where you do the work as long as the tooling and knowledge is available. You can tell the guy is a master wood worker or boat builder. The guys no amateur.
@@killingtime669
so correct! an artisan!
@@wilsonrawlin8547 I think that's because it appears to have a shallow draft for a monohull of that size. I'm guessing they designed it with lakes/calm waters in mind.
@@mattgraham4340 Agree, really not a bluewater boat, look closely at standing rigging, plus mast seems a little small.
But the craftmanship is OUTSTANDING !!!
wow. blown away with the craftmanship and the attention to detail. The woodwork is incredible and I would never think that after it was done , it was a home build. Hats off to you and your partner. It even looks like it sails and turns on a dime.
You truly have a gifted talent. Can I take a ride?
I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the level of craftsmanship necessary to build this boat! OMG! This is one of the few times in my life we’re I am AWESTRUCK by the ability of a human being to create something so incredible! The vast majority of people don’t have the technical skill or the patience to take on and complete a project of this magnitude! However, you did and I salute you and applaud your effort in building this WONDERFUL SHIP! BE WELL AND BE SAFE FROM SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, USA!
Just think! Noah did this with the ARK and that took 70 years!
@@TrinityTalks that’s a fictional story not historically accurate.
@@pc6054 It's not fictional.
@@TrinityTalks so you actually believe 4800 years ago 1 person built a boat that was big enough to take 2 animals of each species that existed on this planet at that time?
@@pc6054 100%. It's not an impossible feat and I'm not saying you have to believe it too but yes I absolutely believe it.
And the best part being, never leaked when finally hit the water. Best feeling any DIYer can encounter.
Браво!!! Срећно пловили и уживали. Велики поздрав! (Well done!!! Happy sailing and enjoy. Best regards!)
I lost count on how many different skill sets this couple would need to have to pull this off. (Woodworking, Solid modeling, metal working, electrical, boat design, sailing, etc..)
That's crazy, and job well done!
Wow! To have the skills, the discipline and the DEDICATION to build an amazing boat! I’m both envious and inspired! Kudos to you!
The "our own design" is sketchy. Expert carpentry cannot cure a flawed design.
So I really hope it sailed very well. I can't imagine the time and effort needed.
And keeping spirits up as well as relationships ? WOW
This is the most wild thing I have ever seen. I am so happy for you. Inspiring
The Farewell in the American Navy is "Fair Winds and Following Seas" it denotes a goodbye, to the garage where it was built. You should be so so proud of what you have accomplished. Absolutely be proud of what you have built, amazing and beautiful workmanship. Stunned and in awe of your skill!
That's the farewell of sailors the world over (and has been for a long time), not just in the USN.
And don't forget when saying that ," and clean diesel"
