Thanks a million Damien for solving the bird problem. We went down today and only about 2 droppings. I hope you enjoy the rum. Safe travels and many happy adventures. You deserve it..
I have just discovered Brupeg, and this video of the first 3 years, is a marvellous introduction to your project. And what a project it has been! My goodness; I would have had to walk away from it. My congratulations for what you have achieved so for.
Welcome aboard!
That was great video. I know you have come a long way but this video fills in some of the blanks for me. I have a half dozen TH-cam favorites. I'm happy to say your #1 on that list. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Bob Springer USA.
Thanks very much Bob
Just rewatched EP 94.
You have come a long way and have done some amazing work.
Thank You for all that you have done.
I truly understand, i took a120 year old coastal freighter and spent 10 years restoring and refitting her for cruising. A year after bringing her from California to Puget Sound she sank. I single handedly refloated her and i am starting over...
Ohh man that’s a tough break. Well done on getting her out of the drink. Best of luck with the rebuild
Mate, have just come on your channel after watching Dangar Stu. I own a 50' steely Ketch that I bought in run down condition in Gladstone, my missus & I rebuilt it, (still not finished!!) and sailed her down to Coffs Harbour (our home port) then Covid hit! About to head up to G.C.C.M. to put her on the Hard and complete some more jobs.
I admire your project, the work and the fabrication that you have put into Brupeg. A first class job and you guys can stand tall to what you have both achieved. I hope to meet you guys one day and see Brupeg in the flesh. I'll bring a beer or ten with me!. Well done .
Cheers, Tex. ( S.V. Mystic)
Thanks Tex. we are hoping to launch in the next few months. All the best for your haul out
Always good to look back and enjoy the sense of how far you have come. Looking forward to the launch. Best of luck to two VERY deserving folks!
Thanks very much Stephanie
Enjoy your adventure and music especially since I'm 70 years old and have the health, strength and activities of a 30 something.
Awesome stuff Gerald. We have a berth ready to go if you ever feel like slaving away like an 18yr old!
@@ProjectBrupeg I retired in 2005 have a wealth of projects such as flipping two houses, installating a 3.9 turbo intercooled diesel in a 1952 Dodge Power Wagon (29,00 original miles) and restoring a 1965 Ford F600 49,000 original miles). After those projects are finished, I'm ready to help. Have the skills, tools and energy but live half way around the world. I do enjoy your team work and progress.
It is as you said a beautiful boat. I love the lines of it and its interesting that it was made in some guys front yard. Looks like a good size and capability boat.
Thanks Curtis, yeah she is lovely. 57ftx18ft 60t
‘Not trying would be worse than trying and failing.’ ‘Back yourself and give it a go.’ Love your attitude guys. With that sort of approach to life you will amaze yourself with what you can achieve.
Thanks David
Damien and Jess. Thank you! For putting together this review, for the informative and interesting videos that you keep putting together, for your determination to do it right, for your willingness to take on anything that comes along with a great attitude, and for the joy you share with us. You are an inspiration. I don't know where you find the dedication to never give up. I've been following along for some time now, and I look forward to every video. Damn the torpedos!!! :)
Thanks Tim. Awesome to have you along with us mate
Heroic. Colossal undertaking requiring incredible foresight, logistical planning, and strength of character. Profound act of love. Always amazing.
Thanks Diane. It’s funny you say love, Brupeg was always a boat built from love for us.
Damien and Jess and Mishka.......your build is an inspiration. Love the progress and eagerly anticipate the forthcoming build videos and launch.
Thanks Arthur. Glad to have you along with us. Dame
In this time of so much uncertainty in the world and the isolation we must all endure to overcome this pandemic, it's great to be able to look back at the dreams and ideas that have shaped our lives. This is a fantastic testament to your remarkable achievements thus far in realising your goals and dreams. Thank you for allowing us to come along, hopefully soon we will return to a more normal way of life, in the mean time please stay safe and continue to look after one and other.
Thanks David. This really means a lot to us.
Thank you so good to see people like you and stu do something with old vessels for private use and restoring such a big project
Perfect timing and helps the project fall into place!! Great work and remember the saying "Obstacles are there for those that want to find them!!" Good Luck.
That’s a great way to look at things. Thanks Pete
Inspirational, and will definitely lead to bigger things once relaunched and operational. Thank you for letting us live out our dreams vicariously through you. Very proud to be a supporter! 👍⛴🥳
Thanks Steve
I’m new to project BRUPEG, came after I saw her on Dangar Stu’s channel.
I could wear 10 hats, I’d take them all off to you both, what a dynamic pair of motivated people you are, how anyone can spend as much time, money and sweat equity into such a project just leaves me in awe. As someone who dreams big, but seldom delivers, I would love 10% of your energy and motivation. I am not in a position to help out financially (I wish I was) but will send you guys as many good vibes as you can handle!!! Out of interest, what does a Trawler ready for the scrap yard go for these days?
Adam, Melbourne.
Hi Adam. Scrap value depends on how much weight you have and of what type of metal. We had a bronze prop, stainless shaft and mild steel hull to recycle. For us it was about 9 grand all up
That's a fantastic transformation and even though I didn't go to sleep and miss anything I'm sure there are parts I will need to use my imagination on, (that's pretty easy since I have a vivid one)..I believe these past 3 years are but pictures or few minutes of video to some but to you guy's, an entire lifetime and it is just starting. Beautifully shown and I'm thrilled I got to see it..Thanks for the time you've given to show us the Re-Birth of Brupeg !!
Thanks very much Bart. Yeah it’s a huge amount of work but it’s been an amazing ride too. Even in the ridiculous moments it’s been something we would do again if we had too
Thank you for the early years of Brupeg . I love watching people that love what they are doing and knowing that the journey is all part of life. I hope once you get her in the water and your wanderings take you here and there you drop us a video once in a while. Thanks from one of your TH-cam family.
Thanks Robert
This is just the build and launch this season, we will be videoing all our projects and travels on Brupeg including going to Antarctica and the northern hemisphere. We also have the Antarctic preparation which will take a month or two out on the hard in NZ when we get there.
Simply outstanding! Your progress and ability to push through the hard times on this project has helped me with my own struggles. It's been therapeutic so far! What an awesome vessel you've developed! Many great decisions. Much love from the port city of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, right on the Bay of Fundy. Cheers!
Cheers Andy thats awesome to hear mate
"It's not just a job, it's an adventure." And a job, and another, and .... Even a runabout is never finished, but both of you knowing every nut and bolt will come in handy. Keep on, keeping on, and thanks for sharing it.
Thanks Lee
Awesome boat! Y'all should be very proud of all the work you've done to this beauty
Thanks very much Brandon. Yeah she is a hansom boat alright.
Well done, looking really good
Thanks Ian
Take a bow you guys..She sure looks happier than she did on the sandbar..Happy times ahead for Brupeg.
Thanks very much Wayne
Wow fantastic progress. Be proud of yourselves for the vision and hard graft. Saved a great boat from the scrap yard. Making it even better week by week.
Thanks Mark
Amazing production and story- you have morphed the labour of welding into the romance of relationships with each other and Brupeg. Your story is really inspiring and explains a lot to me. Brupeg really is not just a boat, but she is an explanation and scaffolding for life’s adventures and challenges. Thank you!!
Thanks Peter. The whole thing has always felt like a love story to us.
Just watched episode 94 and loved it. I am a long way behind but loving every episode. You guys are amazing especially Jess.
Keep going. What an achievement. Well done Damien you are very talented.
Thanks Ross
I have grown to love this boat so very much. Of course, it is the love I have for Jess and Dame that make this boat what it is. There unbelievable unending work and self-sacrifice is the fabric that has made this boat great. I know they will do wonderful work and accomplish remarkable projects with this boat at the center of their life's efforts. May God bless them and all that they do for mankind and giving so much for others.
Thanks very much
You guys have done, and continue to do outstanding work! This boat project has transformed from a mad mans dream into something that looks doable. Congrats on three hard years. Excellent video!
Thaks Darryl, im only 50% of this dream Jess is the main driving force behind this project
What an amazing transformation! I never got the chance to see the whole thing from the beginning. Thank you for allowing us to peak into Brupeg. Your project is just incredible! Both of you are amazing.
Thanks Dan
A great round up of those first years. Thanks very much. Onward!
Cheers Barry
Having what sandplasting and paint can do for a area. Great job saving this vessel.
Thanks very much
This is my second time now watching this video. It amazing me really how much work! you've done and put into this project already to get to this point. yet the build has come a long way from this point, for example today I just finished watching episode 188 ...Like I said, It amazes me how much you and your team has accomplished to get where your at, It's actually mind blowing really. And what really great is seeing how far Jess has come to getting her health restored.
So awesome, so much work !!!
Thanks Justin, cheers Jess
Hey guy's, love you so much. Wow, last song was a tear jerker....
Thanks AP. Yeah it hit the spot aye!
Damien and Jess, you've done it again. You've created a work of art encapsulating the first three years of Brupeg in 36 minutes. Not only was it informative, but you emote an energy that conveys beyond the lens. It is an infectious sense of positivism and love. You make the hardest work look like the most joyous moments of your lives. The love you have for Brupeg and especially for each other is reflected in each moment of video. After watching your videos I am left with a sense of pride in humanity, a sense that hard work pays off, and a reminder that good people do exist in this crazy world we live in. You both embody the age old story of making something out of nothing and always looking at the positives. I am excited for you both and honored to play a small part in this endeavor.
WOW, kinda lost for words here (that doesnt normally happen). Thanks Julian, its a real priveledge to be in a position to be able to do this in our lives and to share it with others.
Couldn’t have said it better. Awesome post and I am also blown away by this story! Thanks so much for this great video.
Thanks Ken
you are amazing and very brave and it inspire me so much that i am planing and keep going for my sailing boat
Thanks very much and good for you Benjamin, all the best
a labor of love well done
Thanks very much Rodolfo
Fudging amazing recap, my dears!
Thank you sooo much for reminding us of all the incredible hard work, and TLC that you've put into Brupeg!👌
Been with you all the way, but seeing it all compressed Into 36.00 was absolutely amazing!
Sooo proud of you!
All love, and best wishes, Claire and the girls, Berlin👌✌😘😘😘❤
Thanks Claire, we’re glad you liked it. Thanks for what you say! It makes a huge difference to us. Cheers Jess
What a great job!!!

Yeah it is. Started in 2014 and still going in 2021

Thanks LCJDNY! I’ll see what I can do about the steering wheel... hehe. Jess
Great video! That is quite the project and an amazing amount of work you have done right there.
Thanks Paul, yeah its amazing how much work has gone into her so far.
This is so informative and answered many questions I have had for the last couple of years. Thank for all the hard work and keep it up.
Thanks David
Kudos to you my friends. A truly awesome achievement. Your dedication and hard work has come back a hundred fold, looking forward to the launch 🍾🍾🥂
Thanks Steve
Fortune favours the bold and you certainly deserve all the riches of experience past present and future.
Fantastic story 😍👍
Thanks Bill
Thank you so much for this first look ! It was great to see. 👍😊
Thanks for watching
Ok, I’ve decided. When I die I want to come back as one of your boats! WOW! What a great video of Brupeg’s history. I hope Bruce and Peggy can see this. You guys are even more incredible than I originally thought. Long live OCD...it serves you well, Dame. Fair winds and following seas, my TH-cam friends.
Thanks Rick!
Wow! You two must be really brave/crazy to take on a project like that! Sure a whole lot braver that 99.9% of the rest of us! What an amazing job you are doing! So impressed! So impressed!
It’s funny. We were pretty naive when we first jumped in, but we both kinda just felt it would be ok
One hell of a job, I take my hat of to you both and the boat looks brilliant already. Can’t wait to see more videos.
Amazing Job you two , and of course all the people that helped and are still contributing or plan to help.... Cant wait to see Brupeg on the water.
Thanks Jeff
I just sat, watched, mesmerised, by the work you have achieved guys, be proud, and thanks.
Thanks very much. Yeah it’s surprise how the work just melts into the boat. We forget how much has been done sometimes
Love the channel . You two are inspirational to watch . Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks Greg
Only 12 months from plates to launch...wow!
The engine looks so small on the crane...but it gets huge in the engine room :)
There has been so much you guys have accomplished...it is truly amazing!
Thanks Gregory.
Goes without saying that the boat is going to make an incredible home and I must say that I have been turned on to the best new to me music that I have heard in a very long time, thank you.
Thanks very much
Very inspirational
That Was Fantastic Lots of Stuff Missed From The Early Days Brought to Light Thank You Both.
Cheers Dave, glad you enjoyed it mate
This is the first of your videos I have seen. I look forward to watching your series. Especially if your wonderful taste in music is as great in the others. This has got to be the best soundtrack I have ever heard in a you tube video. Great job.
Hi Will. Welcome aboard mate. We do try to put as much great music as poss into our weekly episodes, so I’m glad you like it!
I spent 20 years on the bounding main and the briney blue. I can really appreciate the volume of work that went into transforming a shipwreck. Great job and I hope you have many happy days underway.
Thanks Don
Great video. So proud of you both and your efforts to bring brupeg back to life!
Thanks very much
Bloody awesome guys.. you guy keep us inspired as we start our 56ft trawler build back here in nz.. keep it up..
Awesome stuff Brad.
Awesome, where in NZ? Jess
Hi jess out in good old west Auckland... working on the boat shed today would love to share progress poc with you guys...
Absolutely stunning, stunning, stunning! And what a beauty of a ship.
Thanks very much Jos
We built a 52 foot ketch from plans in my back yard. it took us 22 years of Saturdays, as we both worked and promised our wives that our domestic lives would not be affected, eg. homes would be built, children would be had ect,ect, She was launched Jan 2005 we still own and spend Saturdays maintaining her And occasional sailing . Love your channel and the way you do things, if people can build a moonrocket, so can I.
That’s awesome. 22yrs is some dedication. Well done
Great video guys. Interesting to see some history of Brupeg. So much work. Credit to you both. Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Thanks very much Rupert
You really work well as a team. One lesson I have learnt is that even if your not to sure about what you are doing enthusiasm will over come any problem ,
you have plenty.
Thanks Roger
I’ve just watched all the hard work you put into repairing BRUPEG she is turning into a great working boat. What job did you work at before you found the boat? You have taught your self how to do most trades and you do them well it’s a credit to you and your partner. It’s hard to look after someone who is sick but she is worth it that’s what keeps you happy in your work. I can’t wait until the next video comes. Lovely, lovely people. Cheers Doug.
Thanks Doug, you might enjoy a playlist of 260 videos about the build
Every Brupeg Vid from Episode 1

The music was great!!
Thanks very much Bill
My first comment . Just have to say i love the wheelhouse. My day job is refitting tugs and yachts. I am on the paint crew over here in Vancouver Canada. I know that your refit can be tuff. But you both are made of the right stuff. Love watching people jumping of cliffs and building there wings on the way down. Be safe and take care .... Tom....a friend from Canada.
Hi Tom, thanks very much. It’s awesome to have you along with us on the journey. Dame & Jess
I have always admired all the hard work each and every week, but this....this is crazy. It was very brave of you to take on such a huge project and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what you have accomplished. Amazing.
Wow thanks Jody!
What a fantastic and inspirational insight into what you have both accomplished thus far in following your dreams. Looking forward to following your progress as you continue building Brupeg. Currently enjoying my drive buys on my way to work. Looking forward the a meet and greet when thing slow down a little. Regards
David if your local come on in, let us know when your about mate.
love to see you here lol
Thanks Brent
You need a BIGGER THUMBS UP to hit. Thanks for putting that together.
Wow thank you!
I can't express in words how much I admire what you two and your friends have done with BRUPEG since the beginning. Such an amazing amount of work and with such a great "we can do this" attitude and on top of that sharing this unbelievable adventure with so many of us out here in TH-cam land. You are both so inspirational. Thank you so much and I will continue wishing you well at every video.
Thanks Matt, your awesome mate, we love hearing from you, your always so positive!
@@ProjectBrupeg-Dame and Jess you inspire positivity something the whole world needs right now. Thank you so much.
Wow !! What an amazing transformation, I thought I'd watched everything you've posted but those early pics were a real eyeopener. Your imagination, foresight, perseverance and sheer determination is quite honestly amazing. The pair of you are truly inspirational.
The sign on the dunny door made me smile, 'Processing' that's a good word for it. Thanks for sharing. Best regards from the UK.
Thanks Jon, yeah it was love at first sight, and also maybe a little bit of blindness to the sheer amount of work involved..., wouldnt change a thing though.
Awesome historical look back, thanks for sharing your project with us.
Thanks very much, yeah its a real part of the story weve been wanting to show for a while
An amazing journey
Thanks very much. We constantly feel privileged to be able to do it and share it
I do enjoy your choice of music that goes with your videos,great to watch
Thanks Ron, Jess has an ear for finding the great tracks!
Admire your persistence and courage, and look forward to seeing every installment.
Thanks very much
Hi guys, what a journey!! You obviously saw great potential and a vision of what Bru would eventually become. SO much hard work has transformed her into a new ocean queen. I loved the newly painted engine room. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.👍🐕⚓🖖
Thanks very much Pedro
Fab, great to see where you started.
It's amazing the changes you have wrought and it's also blindingly obvious the passion you both have for Brupeg.

Thanks Kevin, glad we can share it with you
That video was interesting to watch. You both have come a long way from the day you took possession of the boat till now. That has been a immense job for you to tackle. You certenaily have reason to be proud of what you have accomplished. She is a very diffrent boat now. There is still much work to be done, but your getting it done little by little. Nice work and kudo's to both of you.
Thanks Richard
I admire and respect your vision :) Visionaries like you guys will lead this new world.
HA! Thanks, if we can make the world think about others more then we accept the challenge
