Hey !!!! You're painting very nice !!! Good luck !
Hey, thanks!
Slowly 🐌 getting there.
Cheers for watching 😃
Progress is looking good! No need for excuses. Get well soon and do whatever it takes.
Exactly.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
Long or short doesn't matter, I just love seeing your progress. Keep on rocking!
We appreciate your encouragement.
Hope you've had a good week.
We look forward to your comments.
Cheers for watching 😃
Loved it, a little bit of everything this week and you guys are great orators....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tbh I prefer a little bit of everything, keeps things from getting repetitive.
Cheers for watching 😃
Hey guys, sanding is hell, we feel with you😅😅😅
It's not that bad. It's part of the game so best to try and enjoy it.
Glorious sanding.
Cheers for watching 😃
And the coffees ☕️
Thanks guys,keep plugging away ,the painted cabin looked bright and fresh and that engine looks great too!👍👍
Thanks 👍
Slow and steady.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Loving your energy loving the episodes......need some more dumpster diving footage.... sanding painting all good.....love the content....
More to come!
I'll have a search in the bins over the weekend.
Cheers for watching 😃
Marina, there is no need for apologies ❤ you are doing amazing job and I personally enjoy all your videos. Hope you will be feeling well soon!
Thank you so much!
Slowly it will all come together.
Cheers for watching 😃
Lol stu you almost kept a straight face talking about ya neighbours shaft 😂
We'll see if it is long enough...
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird better send Marina in that case, we all know men exaggerate things lol
Hi Marina and Stu!
I hope you feel better soon, Marina!!
Don't apologize about your videos! They are awesome and entertaining. If viewers do not care about watching you guys working, they will probably fast-forward. I feel that every day you are getting "new people" and many of them may be looking for ideas.
Greetings!!
🍀🙌🏻🍀
Thank you so much!
We are just happy to be a step closer to moving home.
Cheers for watching 😃
It is looking really good. You still have your sense of humor. lol. Hope the weather stays sunny. Look forward to seeing your next video.
I hope so too!
You have to stay positive and have fun.
Otherwise, why do it.
Cheers for watching 🙂
The painting looks perfect
At certain angles...
It's nowhere perfect but it's light and clean.
Next is to varnish the slats.
Step by step.
Bilge, engine room and cabin.
Let's try to get it done.
Cheers for watching 😃
Love seeing the progress you've made and hearing whatever Stew has to say.. Marina, are you feeling ill due to a baby stew on board??? If not I hope you get feeling better soon.. see you next Friday
No baby Stu on the way, this isn't grand designs. 😅🤣😂
Cheers for watching 😃
You and your partner are doing a good job
Thanks.
Just a couple playing the game of boat building.
Cheers for watching 😃
I LOVE you guys! Amazing what you have done with this 1 Euro boat. I'll be so happy for you when you can move back aboard. DON'T move back in TOO SOON! Make sure you have done ALL the necessary stuff BEFORE moving back in. Doing it too soon would be such a BIG mistake.
More like an itchy mistake.
It's good to set a goal and push for it.
Cheers for watching 😃
We LOVE it ALL! Sanding, grinding, painting, bin diving, (in U.S. its called "dumpster diving") Just "time lapse" the boring tasks. We LOVE to see how FAST you can work on time lapse. MORE content is ALWAYS better than less content.
True.
Some jobs just take an age.
Plus it's one of those weeks where normal life has got in the way.
Cheers for watching 😃
Good stuff marina
Thank you.
Cheers for watching 😃
Marina, good choice to replace the insulation in your bedroom. Paint looks good. Well done.
Keep up the good work 💪🏻
👍
Thank you! Will do!
We are getting there.
Once the engine room is done, only a couple for ribs and that's the bilge done.
Cheers for watching 😃
Episode 60! Paint is looking really good and glad you're going to replace that insulation. Hope the bolts on the stanchions come out easily.
Fingers crossed!
I have a feeling that removing the bolts will be ok. There is no sealant...
Cheers for watching 😃
Love all your videos well worth watching whatever you two do they are steps closer to splash day see you next time 😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Step and little step.
Cheers for watching 😃
Hello Stu/Marina. Nice job with the engine room. That's a very important job to do. I hope Marina is feeling better. She seems in good spirits. The engine is nearly there. It's looking good and healthy. Anyway, keep up the great work and stay safe and healthy. God bless till next week 🙏 🙏🫡🇨🇮
Hiya Liam,
Thanks for the encouragement. Slow and steady.
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird I love ❤️ the Channel. Stay safe you two 🙏 🙏👋🖐
WOW!!! It's not even my boat and I'm getting excited! Can't wait to see how that engine room turns out! and getting paint onto the bilge is going to be a game changer for this project! Keep up the awesome work guys and I look forward to every new episode! S00 Excited!!
You and me both!
Every day, a step closer.
Once this rain passes, we can start to laminate the bilge.
Cheers for watching 😃
Another great episode....I do like the time lapse when you are working....not so much paint drying....I agree with the new insulation, congrats on having someone donate it for you...
Thanks 👍
Step by step.
More time lapse videos to come.
Cheers for watching 😃
8 March and i've caught up with your dream, so got to wait for seven days for the next instalment. How you've both managed to keep going is a great testament to the strength of your relationship and your love for the boat. You will obviously finish the task - in as much as a restoration like this is ever finished - and I shall enjoy joining you on this journey and long for the time the sails are filled and the boat is heeling and you're on your way!
Little or big steps always make a difference. Great work - can see the puzzle picture coming together and almost see how your minds are working since watching from the beginning! Keep going! You can do it
Yes! Thank you!
Slowly making progress but can't see the wood through the trees just yet.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Motor looks good just think about the furture guys that boat's gonna be great once more. She will thank you in more ways than one. So cheers n beers once again Marty Australia
Hiya Marty,
Hope you're well.
Slowly getting there.
Lots of laminating to do next week.
Always a good sign.
Cheers for watching 😃
you're almost at 40k subs gratz.
So close!
Tbh more excited about having a floor.
A floor!!!
Cheers for watching 😃
I watched all the Seabird restoration episodes in 8 days and I'm very impressed with what you have accomplished. I've learned a lot I plan to use in our own boat restoration (much smaller than yours, only 26ft), and I can't wait to see Seabird sailing soon!! Great job guys and keep the episodes coming! Following from Sydney, Australia.
Soon...
In the grand scale, it will be soon.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Well done you two. I enjoy watching your adventures in boat restoration. Keep it up!!! Richard
Thanks you.
We are glad you enjoy.
Cheers for watching 😃
I would get all new insulation because if there's mold on them it will spread like cancer get rid of it please much love sent to you 2
see you next week
Thank you for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
I bingewatched the entire series in 3 days. Now i am sleep deprived. :) But i love the series. Keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it!
More to come, that's for sure.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Paint job looks great, Marina! You two are doing great. Remember, this is the CREATIVE period. Later on you'll be sailing Sea Bird and it will be BORING! Ha ha ha.
We agree!
But at anchor there is always time for pottering around.
Cheers for watching 🙂
The cabins looking great and yes you must get rid of all the mouldy stuff especially if you’re sleeping in that cabin , mould is a health hazard so take care , nice to see the engine is almost finished and looking great , it was a good video , well I enjoyed it Thanks M , 👏Graham
You're right about the mould.
We'll get it sorted.
Cheers for watching 😃
Paint looks great, so fresh and clean. Nice progress this week. Seems the energy level is high, which is hard to keep up on a long project like this. Looking forward to each new episode!❤
Thanks.
We wouldn't say the energy levels are high. It's just our job.
Cheers for watching 😃
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Cheers for watching 😃
In the US there is a spray on product called “easy off oven cleaner” . Its intended use is for cleaning ovens. It is essentially spray lye. Very caustic, but it strips paint and grunge off grp/fiber-glass like a charm.
Great tip.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Yanmar are a good engine. You're going well and whetting our appetites for the launch
We are a long way from the water but all steps lead to the splash.
Cheers for watching 😃
That's a nice looking motorboat next to y'all...
Trust me, it's not.
Better motor boats out there.
Like a Grand Banks or a newer Trader.
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird always watching mate :D And yeah better ones... I mean, I already have 2 boats, what's a 3rd? :D Anyway, am still on schedule to be in PSL somewhere early April! :)
Great round up 😊
Thanks, Paul,
Slow and steady, but today it's super stormy.
Cheers for watching 😃
Short but sweet, always luv the vids. gettin there steadily. keep up the good work ❤
Appreciate it!
Cheers for watching 🙂
I really enjoy watching you guys. Keep up the good videos.
Thank you! Will do!
Cheers for watching 😃
Looks great!!!
Thanks!!
Slow and steady.
Cheers for watching 🙂
It doesn't matter that the video is less interesting than usual. Only your appearance, Marina, makes everything cheerful and beautiful. You are making good progress, it is a lot of work. Keep courage, you know why you are doing it. This tedious work will also come to an end. Goodluck Arthur👍
Hi Arthur.
It will come to an end, that's for sure. The time spent will be a memory, but we'll have our home.
Cheers for watching 😃
It is perfectly normal to see light through the hull.
That's what we think.
Some of the more modern boat are crazy thin.
Cheers for watching 😃
Any progress is good progress, it always looks worse than it is until you get the finish on it. You should try and get one of those sump plugs with a tap on and hose section, makes it wayyyy easier to change the oil, and a lot less mess when you do it.
I've been speaking with a friend about sump pumps and oil changes.
Syringe in the dip stick tube is how I normally do it. A long process but super clean.
Cheers for watching 😃
USA! The engine looks great.
Hopefully.
A little more love is needed.
Not to bad for a second hand motor.
Cheers for watching 😃
Take your own time with the video Marina. Soon th boat will be like Windsor Castle For you.
Can't wait!
This floor mission is dragging on a bit...
Cheers for watching 😃
We look forward to seeing the usual faces pop up.
I like listen to your work and listen to your words as you show us and talk together and talk to us. I am impressed by your skill and your Christianity together and to us. I like the easy going ways you both share.
Thank you so much.
Got to have a bit of faith.
Cheers for watching 😃
Marina, where are you from???
Me está encantando todo el trabajo q estáis haciendo con un barco q necesitaba muchiiiiisimo trabajo!
Y lo estáis consiguiendo!
Poquito a poco! Como es normal!
Y con el dinero en el bolsillo que todo el mundo normal tenemos! Xq otros barcos.... Disponen de mucho dinero y se les ve hacer grandísimos gastos!
Venga chicos, q sois los más parecidos a la gente normal del mundo! Con lo justo y necesario para vivir y punto!
Un abrazo para los dos desde el País Vasco!
Not always fun
grinding in a tight space😮
It's great fun.
Wearing a cool suit, full face mask.
Like an apocalypse movie.
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird lol, protection is a must 😏🤪
We just saw that you also have some work to do on deck before you can paint that. Take your time. I will be very happy to see the motor coming into the hull in the next couple of month may be. May be that has to be done before you put any walls and furniture. Then you have all summer to work with the deck and other things outside. So far everything looks good. I was a little worried about the keel but if you say it´s ok now I have to beleive you. I wish you good luck with the inside work in the rest of the winter.
Always great content.
Thanks. Glad you enjoy.
Cheers for watching 😃
I would most definitely mount the stanchions/pulpit on 1/2 to 3/4 inch blocks (mahogany available from second hand furniture shop ie: and old side board), this gets the stanchion Mount off the deck where any spray/rain is going to be ~
Great advice. Not 100% how we'll do it.
Cheers for watching 😃
Your content is THE BEST! What you guys are doing is exactly what we are doing right now. (We only get to work on weekends, though.) Paint job looks wonderful. 😎💕🥰🥰🥰💕😎
You're the best!
We love seeing your comments.
Hope all is well on your boat.
Send photos!
Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird will do! We’ve been in the yard two and a half years, now. Still plugging along.😂😎🥰
Excellent work guys, loving all the work and effort you putting in. I can't wait until it's all, as I'm sure you both feel the same way. However slowly slowly catchy monkey as the saying goes, do the job right, do it once. (sorry I'm rambling a bit) Thanks for sharing the video's for us, keep up the good work, we all appreciate it.
Much appreciated!
I agree, do it right the first time.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Your cabin is starting to look fantastic, it’s such a great space!
Here's hoping. A bit more love is needed but it's coming along nicely.
Cheers for watching 😃
Good on you you legends. Loving the honesty. Good on you stu for getting into the terrible jobs mate. Cabin looking good- keep it up! Look forward to a vid where you’re hoisting sails!
One day, we'll raise the sails...
Cheers for watching 😃
Thanks!
I wish you were enjoying your videos,as much as we do.Also your apologies,not necessary.We will take what time you have to give. The silver bullet looks great!
The silver bullet band 😅🤣😂
Thanks for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
Fingers crossed you get the shaft 😅
Excellent progress. Great to see you using full protection and facemark with all that dust. Take heart, at least you are grinding at the right time of year temperature wise.
Very very true.
Can you imagine August wearing the full suit. 😳
Cheers for watching 😃
The aft cabin is going to look fantastic when it is finished. Originally I thought that white would be the best colour but I was wrong, the colour you picked was perfect. I am impressed with the amount of work you have done.
Thank you. Little and often as they say.
Got a few jobs on the go atm.
The bilge, the aft cabin, those seacocks.
Always good to have a bit of variation.
Cheers for watching 😃
Thanks, eventually, for the vid...I waited so patiently for this instalment. Nice engine, looks clean, nice job. Good luck!!!
⛵️ ⛵️ ⛵️ Phil...
Phil.
Hope you're well.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Hello again you two! Another totally interesting video. It is always good to see your next video no matter what you are doing, because your work is always improving your boat. I hope you get all those cracks in the little engine room floor holes all sealed up so you never get water down into the keel again. Ok, looking forward to next weeks video. I really like listening to you both talk about what you're doing. Ok, take good care. Ciao geo ps Marina take your medicine so you get better.
Thanks. Working in the engine room is a little tight but we're getting there.
Hopefully start to laminate the bilge this week.
Cheers for watching 😃
Can't wait to see that engine installed👍
You and me both!
Soon, very soon.
Cheers for watching 😃
It's coming along beautiful
Gonna be a great boat
Fingers crossed...
Slow and steady progress.
Cheers for watching 😃
Progress is progress no matter how slow it seems. Just keep going, one step at a time. Love the painting Marina, cabin is going to look beautiful once the sanded panels are put back. Happy days ❤❤❤
Fingers crossed!
Hope you're both well.
More grinding is planned for today.
Yay!!!
Cheers for watching 😃
Brave to learn as you GO.
How else to do it?
Cheers for watching 😃
I would recommend that you change the engine oil pump an item most overlooked until it packs up and badly damages your engine
I'll look into it.
Thanks
Cheers for watching 🙂
You’re over sleeping with “Mouldy Things”, bad news for you Stewie. 😂😂😂🤪😎🍻
Not for long...
Soon our cabin will be all nice and new.
Cheers for watching 😃
agreed on the insulation.
Same.
We'll reuse what we can in some areas, but the cabins we'll put in fresh insulation.
Cheers for watching 😃
Thanks
Great progress, keep at it! Great to see old dream boats getting a new lease of life. Reuse, recycle, restore which shows great respect for the planet’s finite resources. SkipRay, Kerry.
Very true.
Plus we're poor 😅🤣😂
Cheers for watching 🙂
Hi guys!
That Engine Looks Very Beefy,, And Awesome, Can't Wait To See When She's In and Running..
Yeah me too.
Soon...
Cheers for watching 🙂
Never be sorry about the videos. These are great to have it almost live is much better than other channels that are months behind in their videos.
Keep up the great work. The painting looks very good.
Glad you like them!
We're super happy with the start of the aft cabin.
Cheers for watching 🙂
I‘m so excited whenever a new video comes out :D Your doing great!
Also don’t worry about your videos not being „exciting“ enough, we’re here for *your* videos, whatever they may be!
Yay! Thank you!
We are happy you enjoy the videos.
Cheers for watching 😃
You are a very charming young lady. l can say that l'm 70,
Thank you.
I hope you enjoy the content, too.
Cheers for watching 😃
if you want a nicer finish on your paint after you have sanded use a filler for all the low imperfections than sand again, then primer than paint thats how you get a nice finish..BTW I' think you both have made good progress I see huge progress since you've started.. cheers.
Good tip!
Thanks for the encouragement.
Cheers for watching 😃
I'm relatively new to your channel so I come a little naive to your project. However, I think that I have watched enough of your excellent videos to be cheeky enough to make a few suggestions for you to consider.
Boat restoration projects are a massive commitment of your time and not so importantly, your money! I am hoping that since I am writing this as a 74 man nearing the end of my earthly lease that I may offer a little perspective from the other end of life's journey.
I have rated time as our most precious resource. It runs in one direction only, from beginning to end and no negotiations will be entered into! Tough terms and if I had any say in the matter I would definitely go for a better deal! But, it is what it is so let's get the best we can with what we have!
Now, about the boat. Since I have identified our time as the most perishable of our assets were I to embark on a project such as yours it would be foremost in my considerations in determining a value to yourselves of the tasks to come. I suggest that a practical way of judging the particular worth of any given problem with its solution could be an assessment of the minimum effort required to achieve the desired standard of outcome. I think I would be content with the minimum standard necessary to perform as necessary. I tend to think of 'perfection' as to be the outcome aspired to though not without regard to the other aforesaid factors .
So, what's next? How about we take a look at that bilge under the engine? Does it really matter if the finish on the paint is a little rough in places where it will never be seen by anyone....
except possibly the unfortunate engineer who drops his or hers favourite tool down there sometime!
I hope that perhaps I might have given you something useful to you as you work towards your goal! I will be following you both!
Seems a stantion bracket that attached to the deck also bulwark would be much stronger
No bulwark on this boat. Just sandwich core.
We'll get those stanchions sorted!
Cheers for watching 😃
Next spring splash maybe?
Tbh we don't know.
But one day we'll be ready and that's when we'll launch.
Cheers for watching 😃
So how was the neighbors shaft? 😂
Stu took it all.
I'm guessing it was long, smooth, straight and went in from the back 😂
Well, seems you all want to know but I'm not telling, yet.
Tbh it's in the back of his shed...
Marina if you think engines are sexy, maybe you have been hanging around the boat yard too much. Good job guys hope the next week is sunny.
You could be right. Maybe it's our engine that's sexy.
Cheers for watching 😃
Been following since the first video and it’s looking soooo good! So much work but what a great job. 🎉 Oh! And like I said last video, always love a good bit of bin diving. 😂
😄😄👍👍👍👍
🐌⛵️😅😂🤣👋
Hey, I’ve watched just about every SailLife episode. I can take a bit of glorious sanding. Is a dust shroud for the grinder available? One with a vacuum attachment?
I tried some sort of grinder attachment and it was no good.
So dust it is.
Cheers for watching 😃
Yanmar rocks😊
I've always liked Yanmar.
4th boat, 4th Yanmar.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Aboustley Stewie, about your hoses on the motor, replace them all, and yes, why do people paint? Do not understand it.
I did a quick search, and they seem to be a fair price.
Might be able to find a cool colour too...
Cheers for watching 😃
Gday you two,
Can you tell me the brand of the new engine mounts please? Im due for new ones and they look like an alternative.
Thanks
Oceanic solutions (maybe)
Stainless from the states.
Cheers for watching 😃
☝️♥️🤟👍💪🌄
👋⛵️🐌😅🤣😂
Put better hose clamps on
Any brand you'd recommend?
Cheers for watching 😃
Stainless,wider not the screw driver head type
Rather change the stanchions design and bolt them into the toe rail
Not possible due to the genoa track.
Nice idea.
Cheers for watching 😃
Damn 3rd
Easy to do with engine out
So true.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Sure looks like yall need more &more fiberglass down.
Thanks!
