Hi everyone. Can we just say we’re blown away by the positive vibes and amazing comments we’re getting from all around the world! Please don’t forget to subscribe and click the notification bell so you can keep up to date with our episodes every Wednesday. Love you all!!! Andy, Melissa and Captain Jack.
Super sensational! I'm Captain Wantuil and I'm also a doctor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In my spare time I also renovate boats and build schooners in the State of Bahia. Congratulations to the three of you for your effort and dedication in bringing this wonderful boat back to life.
Dad was a fisherman for 50 years, and owned his last boat for 25 years. In that time she underwent several transformations, a fair few gallons of paint and tons of loving! The video was wonderful to watch and I wish you and your family well in your amazing adventure!
I've had a few boats and love people who want to get on the briny. Your lady underneath grind/painting, awesome. Make her Captain !. Nice one fellow barnacles. Dave
a lot of people think theyre too lazy and too stupid to try and do something like this. but what they really are is uninspired and lonely. watching you all get together and do this is very inspiring and motivating. its a great model to emulate: working together with a goal and keeping each other going. thank you for sharing it. youre doing a lot more than just fixing a yacht, youre demonstrating love and teamwork. its a lovely melody.
@Shane888 Davies Boats are a financial disaster though despite all the other good things. Just bottomless money pits, so you can talk the talk, but you also need a good disposable income, or a decent capital sum you don't mind losing.
Damn...after all these years of thinking I was lazy and stupid when in fact I'm just uninspired and lonely. Thank you Mr. Wizard for such a profound statement.
@Shane888 Davies Everything. It's very easy to eulogise about the pleasures and benefits of fixing up a boat. Or to label people as lazy, stupid, or uninspired for not doing so. But probably the most important reason people don't is they don't have wads of cash or bottomless pockets. It's not even much of an investment because, such is power of the ocean, it will all need doing again in 10 years time.
An overwhelming amount of work, to get done, but you and your family took the challenge on, and have done a wonderful job of restoring your boat! I can't wait to see it completed.
If i did not see it with my eyes, i would have never believed possible , this Project testifies one simple equation " Where there's a will, there's a way ", i am just blown away what a human will can do. simply astonished. looking forward to watching and following you folks, years to come.you are inspirationally amazing.God bless you all.
I was wondering when you look back at the boat before you started do you ever think "We must have been crazy"? Well I for one am pleased you did! You three have entertained, amused and at times amazed me with your endeavours. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with you all! Roll on 2022 and more SAILING MELODY! Thankyou.
Andy...What an achievement, and such a supportive Wife and Son you have. You and your family are going to know your boat inside and out and when you set sail, moreover you will have the technical ability to repair anything whilst at sea. Follow your dreams, your doing the right thing. A new subscriber..
Hey! Thanks so much for your lovely support and kind words. We’re still just blown away that people find us entertaining and want to watch our videos 😊😂
It is only by seeing this in retrospect can one only fully appreciate the scale of the project you have so bravely undertaken. It is this retrospect that so ably demonstrates both your teamwork and the the considerable progress you have made in such a relatively short time. Well done and thank you for sharing. 😀👍⛵️
Hi from Indiana, USA, you all are the most talented and incredible folks I've ever seen in my 74 yr. life time.!! Amazing and I'm looking forward for more, good luck and God Bless.
Man you guys have earned every ounce of sunshine and fair winds when you put her to sea - a) for loving a boat back to life and b) for the sweat equity as a family.. I’m almost as excited as you must be to see her in the water!!
Melody, through all your hard work has come a very long way. She looked very sorry for herself originally but now looks superb externally. Andy I know you do keep it all going by having to work to bring the beer tokens in, that must be very difficult knowing Melissa is doing her thing while you’re away, and what an amazing job she’s doing. Melissa is a fantastic driven one woman army tackling jobs many would shy away from. Well done all of you. Captain Jack, you’re a great lad a credit to mum and dad. Looking forward to your start in the new year. Stay safe and well, see you soon.
What an incredible family you have. I can not imagine my wife bucking up and doing half the work that yours has done. My respects to all of you from a fellow Captain (all oceans). I look forward to following you to your launch day. Good luck!
I admire the fact that the whole family got stuck into what can only be described as rescuing a boat that was really only fit for the scrap yard. Lots of dedicated hard work so far and much more to do and a family who will have a wonderful seaworthy craft to enjoy when completing their hard work. Congratulations on what you have achieved so far.
Seriously, great family project. It is great to see a family work together and build something so great. Keep up the great modifications and restorations. God Bless your Family.
Whoever took on this project is beyond brave and amazingly positive-minded I mean I bought houses that were just ready for the bulldozer but this boat would scare the hell out of me
What a lovely little family! Particularly love that your son was a part of it. My grandfather built his own 42" yacht in his backyard. Watching this, I can almost smell the resin of the boat. Thanks for sharing. We'll done!
I particularly loved the scene when Jack was removing the old Anodes- what a wonderful experience at such a young age- he is blessed to have these life experiences to mold him into such a fine and industrious person- I strongly applause you both as wonderful parents- Love your project and channel! Keep up the great work!
Two things I love after watching this video, is that this old girl was saved from the gas axe, and lived to sail another day. And the other thing, you've all taken on such a tough project with great enthusiasm, great vision and a family project. I think it's great. Look forward to see the finished yacht on the water.
I must comment. That was completely astounding. It was not clear whether this vessel could be salvaged from all the decay and degradation this old girl had accumulated over her life. I have seen many old houses recovered from many years. My thought has always been to just throw in the towel and start anew from the ground up. This is one that I don't think I would have undertaken. But, refreshingly, you have done an incredible job. The videography was excellent and thorough. You brought to life the effort and detail of your endeavor here. My hat is off to all of you. She is now coming to a "new" life because of all your work. Her grandure is once again shining through. You guys are awesome. "Bully to You"!
awsome to see a couple come together on a project like this he is a very lucky man to have a partner that is both skilled and hard working among other things I am sure
Wow! Makes my looking after my fathers self built steel 10m sailing boat seem like a cake walk. Great determination and a lot of hard work, well done to the whole family.
Never felt so tired after just watching 25 min long video.Gosh, i need to lay down now for a hour or two ... Jokes aside fantastic job guys, what a transformation of the old lady you achieved, unbelievable.
Hahah thank you. We’re exhausted too but looking forward to more progrsss in 2022. Make sure to subscribe to see our episodes every Wednesday detailing our progress :)
Jesus, the transformation is utterly fantastic. I'm not sure my children would have the patience to help with such a project so hats of to Captain Jack and you both!
Jesus is the only way to get saved from hell and get to heaven FOREVER only by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST GODS SON WHO DIED FOR YOUR SINS SO YOU CAN BE FORGIVEN!
I watch another channel also, Sailing Project Atticus. This week, he said that basically things in life are better when you work for them. You guys are embodying that sentiment here. Sailing her is going to be such a joy, partly because you'll all three know you brought her back from the brink of scrap and made her a real gem! Awesome show guys.
We are in the middle of renovating our fibreglass catamaran. So to see your whole family working on a refit of epic proportions is magic! Mad respect from a couple in Western Australia!
It's so cool to see your family work together to accomplish something special during this global situation. Instead of staying home and complaining about life, you took on a big project and worked a lot of hours together to make it a reality. My guess is you'll be of the opinion "never again" but you'll not regret all it took to get to where you are today. Great job. Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope you inspire more people to stop complain and start tackling big projects in their own lives.
Utter respect! Whenever a project like this comes on my path, I will view this video again and let the opportunity pass by. But to you all: Keep up the good work!
I was watching this with my heart in my mouth…all I kept saying was “that is one brave family”…it’s one thing to tackle a project like this with a compressor, sandblaster and plenty of space and POR15 in the warmth of the Australian climate but to do it in those conditions….bugger me!
I must say you folks are doing a terrific job. Looking better every day and come that final launch day when you know all have done a great job. I wish you all health, some wealth but most of all, fair weather sailing. Blessings from Lomita, California.
Hats off to all of you. So few people have the skills or the will to take on this kind of project these days. You’ve saved a boat. Happy sailing folks - you deserve fair winds.
What do you mean these days? Are less people fixing up boats than they used to? Was there a time when taking on this kind of project was more common? We have TH-cam and chat rooms to help with and inspire these kinds of projects.
@@steveanton763s very much. As a kid in the 70s men like my dad (we had small cruisers and dinghies ), lots of people, had light engineering skills and weren’t afraid to turn a piece of metal on a lathe, do some carpentry, varnishing, engine mechanics. wiring etc Of course there are people like you who still can but not so many in the general population. I’m also UK based where most people don’t have the time or space for hobbies any more and/or just haven’t learnt. In the US it seems more common as a lot of folk have been in the military and have practical skills and there’s more light industry - so transferable skills. And perhaps a bit more disposable income to tinker.
You and your family should be super proud that’s a huge family project I work on refurbishment of RN frigates so can appreciate the level of decay seawater does to a vessel that spends any time in contact with it however the RN have deep pockets and many time served personnel to complete there projects to do it as you have requires real commitment, determination and teamwork you have inspired me and I can totally see why you chose her she is handsome and has scrubbed up very nicely 😉 I wish you fair wind and sea on your adventures respect to you all X
I don't think I've ever watched a video that's ever put me off trying something more than this.😅 There is not a chance in this lifetime I'll ever have the skill and patience to undertake such an epic task, genuinely impressed.
Looks like she got the right new owners! You did a solid job restoring this powerful boat. Something about a steel sailboat that just seems invincible, especially with a welder around
Wow, you're truly a blessed man. You have a wife who appears to be willing and able to do most anything and a child who is no slouch either. I enjoyed the video greatly and am waiting to see what 2022 will bring! Thanks from George in Texas!
Really enjoyed watching this. Too many times these sorts of projects fail because it is a lone vision - this will be a great success because it is a family affair! Your son will be taking his kids out in this for years to come. Hats off to you all
There is nothing like sitting on my ass and watching other people work hard. It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. Best of all is the heavy metal music. These guys are skilled and seem to have done this before. Fantastic job.
FANTASTIC FAMILY JOB makes me look lazy with my 23ft maxum which needs new hatches,windows cabin door etc lol unfortunately my dad passed away in october and left me it before he passed,to live on like he did but getting more motivated watching videos like yours, inspiring thank you
I have bought a boat for 2k same as you but in my one the work was very very less than yours. In fact we finished all in 3 months !! So I know exactly what you guys have been through. And I can say: you are crazy 😜 with a boat in that condition I wouldn’t even start!! But you did!! So honor to you!!
Good on you guys, well done. It’s so inspiring to see you taking on such a large project and proving that where there is will and hard work you can achieve amazing and life changing results. Great stuff. David. Melbourne Australia.
Beautiful to see the whole family working on such a wonderful project. Much experience is needed to finish such a dream. The music 🎶 is very nice, very enjoyable to watch. My hat goes off to all the family!
When I saw the 1st shot of the bow falling off in chunks, I was about to make a comment about staying within swimming distance of shore. Then I saw that the whole rig is solid metal and that you look to be a pro fabricator. Amazing job! I'd sail that.
Your family is awesome! WOW!😁 I can not wait to see the finished Yacht. What a lot of hard work you all did. Jack, you should feel proud your so young and you really did a lot of hard work. Love you guys.
I’d say I’ve watched about 1/3rd of your episodes so far, early, mid and later progress and Im blown away tbh! There’s seems to be so many skills and so much knowledges required to fix a boat I don’t know how you cope. Everything seems to have been done with such consideration and skill, hats off to you all. And hats off to jack he’s a delight and developing such great skills, when I was his age I could bare fold a newspaper. Great stuff you’re doing Jack 👍🏼
It doesn’t do justice to all that hard work that went by in minutes. Great job. She’s an incredible vessel. Many happy time ahead for you. Wishing you calm seas and fair winds.
I watched it with great pleasure ! This is a titanic job ! Well done ! In 97, he himself went through something similar, restored a 20-meter lake tugboat, replacing the bottom and interior decoration. So I can imagine how you managed it ! With respect
CooI project! I worked as a offshore painter and just have one tip: I don't know the English word for it, but we call it to: "Zero out" old paint... Remove/ sand down all edges. If you don't, the salt will attach and create rust in no time outside and it will look better... Bon voyage!
Looks like both of you can weld which is a huge help in this restoration, and I can assume will be a continual occupation. At best anything which sits in water, especially salt water requires constant and routine maintenance, and that is just the Hull. The entire vessel is/will be a work in progress.
Hallo,Ihr Piraten der Caribik Was Ihr da als Familie geleistet habt,ist grandios!Ich wünsche euch allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel!! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!👍🖖🍀♥️
This episode made it all look so easy! Love your whole family's determination. I enjoy following your adventures, remember you will get there. I only wish I had done something like this when I was younger.
Great work guys, I´m about to embark on a restoration of my own 11 metre steel trawler, Swedish built in 1985, it isn´t quite as rusty as yours was but still a bit of work to do to get it how I would like. Just fired the engines up today for the first time in almost two years, she´s been laying in the water for two Swedish winters now but old Volvo MD32s ran sweet, we gave her some fresh oil and filters and now we´re planning the logistics for a 120NM trip from Stockholm south to Västervik where we bought a farm by the sea last year, I´m lucky enough to have a few big barns where I can get her inside and do a full renovation, I will of course be documenting all of this and uploading to youtube. Good luck with the rest of your project!

Well done job! You are a great team!
Do you need the carbon fiber pole for the shelt?
Junk rig?
Noooo cutter rig
Hello from France, may I ask, where is this located ? So how far is the restoration now ? How much money and time did you spent on it until now ?
To me the BEST part of this whole thing is that the quality time spent with your family will be the lasting memories long after the boat is gone.
Super sensational! I'm Captain Wantuil and I'm also a doctor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In my spare time I also renovate boats and build schooners in the State of Bahia. Congratulations to the three of you for your effort and dedication in bringing this wonderful boat back to life.
Dad was a fisherman for 50 years, and owned his last boat for 25 years. In that time she underwent several transformations, a fair few gallons of paint and tons of loving! The video was wonderful to watch and I wish you and your family well in your amazing adventure!

I've had a few boats and love people who want to get on the briny. Your lady underneath grind/painting, awesome. Make her Captain !. Nice one fellow barnacles. Dave
Your bride and son are hard working folks. I'm so impressed by them both.
Your wife is a gem! Where do I get one like that? It was super nice of her to let you help her restore the boat!
I’m a lucky guy. What can I say 😂
@@SailingMelody Yes, of course, it was super nice of you to let her help restore the boat?😄
I was just thinking, maybe mine would help me restore a boat, then I woke up.
Ever hear of a paint roller?
Did you just have a stroke?@@gregoriosmith6994
a lot of people think theyre too lazy and too stupid to try and do something like this. but what they really are is uninspired and lonely. watching you all get together and do this is very inspiring and motivating. its a great model to emulate: working together with a goal and keeping each other going. thank you for sharing it. youre doing a lot more than just fixing a yacht, youre demonstrating love and teamwork. its a lovely melody.
Speak for your self. The lonely ppl are watching this video right now 😜
@Shane888 Davies Boats are a financial disaster though despite all the other good things. Just bottomless money pits, so you can talk the talk, but you also need a good disposable income, or a decent capital sum you don't mind losing.
Damn...after all these years of thinking I was lazy and stupid when in fact I'm just uninspired and lonely. Thank you Mr. Wizard for such a profound statement.
lol right haha we are just uninspired and lonely hee hee all of us ha ha
@Shane888 Davies Everything.
It's very easy to eulogise about the pleasures and benefits of fixing up a boat. Or to label people as lazy, stupid, or uninspired for not doing so.
But probably the most important reason people don't is they don't have wads of cash or bottomless pockets.
It's not even much of an investment because, such is power of the ocean, it will all need doing again in 10 years time.
Wonderful seeing that young man earning his time on the boat and supporting his family!! Well done young man!!!
An overwhelming amount of work, to get done, but you and your family took the challenge on, and have done a wonderful job of restoring your boat! I can't wait to see it completed.
Watching you painting in time lapse has got to be one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen.
If i did not see it with my eyes, i would have never believed possible , this Project testifies one simple equation " Where there's a will, there's a way ", i am just blown away what a human will can do. simply astonished. looking forward to watching and following you folks, years to come.you are inspirationally amazing.God bless you all.
One of the best Family project that I have ever seen, my hat goes off to you all and the friends that helped.
I was wondering when you look back at the boat before you started do you ever think "We must have been crazy"? Well I for one am pleased you did! You three have entertained, amused and at times amazed me with your endeavours. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with you all! Roll on 2022 and more SAILING MELODY! Thankyou.
Andy...What an achievement, and such a supportive Wife and Son you have. You and your family are going to know your boat inside and out and when you set sail, moreover you will have the technical ability to repair anything whilst at sea. Follow your dreams, your doing the right thing. A new subscriber..
Well done! A beautiful memory you have all contributed to for years to come
Hey! Thanks so much for your lovely support and kind words. We’re still just blown away that people find us entertaining and want to watch our videos 😊😂
It is only by seeing this in retrospect can one only fully appreciate the scale of the project you have so bravely undertaken. It is this retrospect that so ably demonstrates both your teamwork and the the considerable progress you have made in such a relatively short time. Well done and thank you for sharing. 😀👍⛵️
That is one handy women you have! Amazing transformation and the best part is the involvement of your family! Epic!
Hi from Indiana, USA, you all are the most talented and incredible folks I've ever seen in my 74 yr. life time.!! Amazing and I'm looking forward for more, good luck and God Bless.
Man you guys have earned every ounce of sunshine and fair winds when you put her to sea - a) for loving a boat back to life and b) for the sweat equity as a family.. I’m almost as excited as you must be to see her in the water!!
Melody, through all your hard work has come a very long way. She looked very sorry for herself originally but now looks superb externally. Andy I know you do keep it all going by having to work to bring the beer tokens in, that must be very difficult knowing Melissa is doing her thing while you’re away, and what an amazing job she’s doing. Melissa is a fantastic driven one woman army tackling jobs many would shy away from. Well done all of you. Captain Jack, you’re a great lad a credit to mum and dad. Looking forward to your start in the new year. Stay safe and well, see you soon.
What an incredible family you have. I can not imagine my wife bucking up and doing half the work that yours has done. My respects to all of you from a fellow Captain (all oceans). I look forward to following you to your launch day. Good luck!
Thank you! I’m a lucky guy that’s for sure :)
GOD SEND NOT HIS SON TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT THAT THE WORLD TROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED JESUS CHRIST CREATED EVERYTHING EVEN YOUR WIFE

Keep up the great modifications and restorations.
God Bless your Family.
It's amazing how much the 3 of you have accomplished in a little over a year!!! And Jack will have these memories for the rest of his life!
Whoever took on this project is beyond brave and amazingly positive-minded I mean I bought houses that were just ready for the bulldozer but this boat would scare the hell out of me
What a great job! Hello from an old US Navy sailor who has done lots of chipping and painting and feels your pain
Your little guy is one awesome helper, you got to be pretty proud of him.
You should be so proud that you did that as a Family and you'll never forget the time you spent together.
You and the family are absolute beasts!!! What a fantastic job!!!! Your son will remember this for his whole life.
What a lovely little family! Particularly love that your son was a part of it. My grandfather built his own 42" yacht in his backyard. Watching this, I can almost smell the resin of the boat. Thanks for sharing. We'll done!
Plenty more to see :) we release a new episode every Wednesday and there’s another good few months of work still to do before we launch
I particularly loved the scene when Jack was removing the old Anodes- what a wonderful experience at such a young age- he is blessed to have these life experiences to mold him into such a fine and industrious person- I strongly applause you both as wonderful parents-
Love your project and channel! Keep up the great work!
The worlds best Meccano kit eh. I was just discussing that with the ladies from Saly Lass TH-cam channel
Two things I love after watching this video, is that this old girl was saved from the gas axe, and lived to sail another day.
And the other thing, you've all taken on such a tough project with great enthusiasm, great vision and a family project.

@@lifehackstv9721 nobody cares about your imaginary friend. Move along.
I'm absolutely amazed at how wonderfully you worked together as a team. I am shocked that you are so ingenious and dedicated.
Happy sailing...
I love this, well done on rescuing a beautiful old lady. I can't wait to see her in her glory out on the water.
Awesome you got your kids involved in the process, that's straight up memories they will remember for the rest of their lives

Congratulations to the whole family for their excellent restoration work, which I understand perfectly since I am the owner of a steel sailboat.
Thank you! There’s still a long way to go and we will never be actually “finished” but splash day is getting nearer and nearer
What a great Job, and what a great Family! With a great family behind you, everything is posible!
It's so cool to see your family work together to accomplish something special during this global situation. Instead of staying home and complaining about life, you took on a big project and worked a lot of hours together to make it a reality.
My guess is you'll be of the opinion "never again" but you'll not regret all it took to get to where you are today. Great job. Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope you inspire more people to stop complain and start tackling big projects in their own lives.
I love this work and I have no doubt we will do it all again when we eventually upgrade to a bigger boat :)
Just awesome! Love to see a kid with a cordless drill in his hand. Much better than an iphone.
I'm getting speechless 😶... It's awesome.. Can't hardly wait for her to set sail 👍 👍
Very hardworking and dedicated to your vision your family should be proud
Utter respect! Whenever a project like this comes on my path, I will view this video again and let the opportunity pass by. But to you all: Keep up the good work!
Keep watching :) next week we are revealing our plans and rationale for the work we need to do in 2022
What an able Lady with the red hair ! She knows how to work and make great results ! Amazing !
Your video is the perfect definition of boat ownership! Good work and thank you for sharing.

What a champion family. You deserve all the happiness in world. Well done
Excellent job from everyone, that Misses of yours sure isn't scared to get her hands dirty. Your a helluva frabricator as well. Well done!
A "labour of love" hardly covers this. I am full of admiration for your foresight and determination. Enjoy your boat - you deserve it.
Thank you ;)
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE AMAZING WORKERS, WHAT A BRILLIANT JOB YOU ALL DONE!
Congrats to you for making this boat back to life
Hi watch your Vid twice you all worked so hard your wife worked like a train very clever with her hands
Sir. You have a talented high value woman. Your a great restorative person. Kids involved. Keep doing it and the boat is a joy to see
I’m only 1/3 of the way through this video and love how all family members are getting their hands dirty!
Hats off to all of you. So few people have the skills or the will to take on this kind of project these days. You’ve saved a boat. Happy sailing folks - you deserve fair winds.

Какая эффектная женщина! И прямо мастер на все руки!! Апплодирую стоя!! И семья вся, видно, очень дружная!
Thank you! Very kind :)
@@SailingMelody you're welcome! )))
We call them Ladies, the girls "can do anything for you, honey."
Looks like she got the right new owners! You did a solid job restoring this powerful boat.
Something about a steel sailboat that just seems invincible, especially with a welder around
Thank you. Yes we love the durability and strength of a steel hull
You guys are amazing! It's really awesome to see a family tackling a project like this, and seeing how you work together.
Wow, you're truly a blessed man. You have a wife who appears to be willing and able to do most anything and a child who is no slouch either.
I enjoyed the video greatly and am waiting to see what 2022 will bring!
Thanks from George in Texas!
Really enjoyed watching this. Too many times these sorts of projects fail because it is a lone vision - this will be a great success because it is a family affair! Your son will be taking his kids out in this for years to come. Hats off to you all
Какие Молодцы! Дружная семья! Семь футов Вам под килем! Рад что подписан на Вас😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There is nothing like sitting on my ass and watching other people work hard. It makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. Best of all is the heavy metal music. These guys are skilled and seem to have done this before. Fantastic job.
That lady knows how to put a shift in! Totally talented too!
She sure does :)
FANTASTIC FAMILY JOB makes me look lazy with my 23ft maxum which needs new hatches,windows cabin door etc lol unfortunately my dad passed away in october and left me it before he passed,to live on like he did but getting more motivated watching videos like yours, inspiring thank you
I have bought a boat for 2k same as you but in my one the work was very very less than yours. In fact we finished all in 3 months !! So I know exactly what you guys have been through. And I can say: you are crazy 😜 with a boat in that condition I wouldn’t even start!! But you did!! So honor to you!!
Good on you guys, well done. It’s so inspiring to see you taking on such a large project and proving that where there is will and hard work you can achieve amazing and life changing results. Great stuff.

Beautiful to see the whole family working on such a wonderful project. Much experience is needed to finish such a dream.
The music 🎶 is very nice, very enjoyable to watch.
My hat goes off to all the family!
Well done folks, I hope you enjoy your boat for many years
one word..
BRAVO..!!!!
When I saw the 1st shot of the bow falling off in chunks, I was about to make a comment about staying within swimming distance of shore. Then I saw that the whole rig is solid metal and that you look to be a pro fabricator. Amazing job! I'd sail that.
Очень впечатляющая реставрация!С такими помощниками можно всё осилить!
Your family is awesome! WOW!😁 I can not wait to see the finished Yacht. What a lot of hard work you all did. Jack, you should feel proud your so young and you really did a lot of hard work. Love you guys.
What a job, congratulations, hope to see pictures of it on the water 😎
A good amount of work in the time spent and some great skill levels. Small hint is get a bigger paint brush, less strokes and fewer paint laps.
Remarkable. What love, tenacity and knowledge; and what craftsmanship. Inspirational yet adoring. Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
I’d say I’ve watched about 1/3rd of your episodes so far, early, mid and later progress and Im blown away tbh! There’s seems to be so many skills and so much knowledges required to fix a boat I don’t know how you cope. Everything seems to have been done with such consideration and skill, hats off to you all. And hats off to jack he’s a delight and developing such great skills, when I was his age I could bare fold a newspaper. Great stuff you’re doing Jack 👍🏼
Awwwhh thanks. Jacks our little superstar
Очень большой труд!!! Вы отличная семья!!!! Удачи вам!!!!
It doesn’t do justice to all that hard work that went by in minutes. Great job. She’s an incredible vessel. Many happy time ahead for you. Wishing you calm seas and fair winds.
I watched it with great pleasure ! This is a titanic job ! Well done ! In 97, he himself went through something similar, restored a 20-meter lake tugboat, replacing the bottom and interior decoration. So I can imagine how you managed it !
With respect
CooI project!
I worked as a offshore painter and just have one tip:
I don't know the English word for it, but we call it to: "Zero out" old paint...
Remove/ sand down all edges. If you don't, the salt will attach and create rust in no time outside
and it will look better...
Bon voyage!
Thanks for the advise!
At last, someone who knows that in three years it will be a rust bucket again. Sorry - but rust is a killer.
What a Super Work Ethic this Family has!? CHAPEAU !!!😊👍💪
Well said!
A brilliant family, what it's about .can't wait to see you're adventures around the world.
Looks like both of you can weld which is a huge help in this restoration, and I can assume will be a continual occupation. At best anything which sits in water, especially salt water requires constant and routine maintenance, and that is just the Hull. The entire vessel is/will be a work in progress.
A tremendous amount of lovingly preformed labour . Your rewards will be endless I’m sure !
Hallo,Ihr Piraten der Caribik
Was Ihr da als Familie geleistet habt,ist grandios!Ich wünsche euch allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel!!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!👍🖖🍀♥️
What a great family project and what skill they have. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thank you :) that’s really kind
Посмотрел ваше видео, вы сделали огромный объём работ, молодцы, удачи Вам! Привет из России)
This episode made it all look so easy! Love your whole family's determination. I enjoy following your adventures, remember you will get there. I only wish I had done something like this when I was younger.
Great work guys, I´m about to embark on a restoration of my own 11 metre steel trawler, Swedish built in 1985, it isn´t quite as rusty as yours was but still a bit of work to do to get it how I would like. Just fired the engines up today for the first time in almost two years, she´s been laying in the water for two Swedish winters now but old Volvo MD32s ran sweet, we gave her some fresh oil and filters and now we´re planning the logistics for a 120NM trip from Stockholm south to Västervik where we bought a farm by the sea last year, I´m lucky enough to have a few big barns where I can get her inside and do a full renovation, I will of course be documenting all of this and uploading to youtube. Good luck with the rest of your project!
Wow that’s a BIG boat!! Have you seen@shiphappens
