@@artsmith103 I dunno friend- we’ve built three homes by ourselves from the ground up and can confidently report that a roof over chickens heads doesn’t take priority over a roof over our own heads. We’ve also done these builds in the tropics, surrounded by chickens - they don’t need a structure and will gladly hang around and roost if fed. The overarching point is that they’ve been at it a year now and have done everything BUT build a home. But the chickens are stoked
In Alaska back in the 70's I helped a guy build a 40 foot Trimaran in his back yard to sail around the world even though he had never been sailing in his life. It took him 5 years and I learned a lot about boats helping him. He finally finished it and put it in the water in the harbor in Anchorage Alaska to motor it to Seattle to have the mast and rigging installed. By the time he got there he decided he hated sailing and sold the boat. He ended up doing boat repair in Seattle. His cabinet work was excellent. Thanks for the video.
I think it's wonderful that people are living their dreams and allowing those dreams to grow. I am refitting my 1966 Bristol 27 sailboat. It gives me joy to work on it and will give me joy to get it relaunched after 20 years on the hard. Not every boat has to be a livaboard for people to enjoy sailing. I do take your point about buying the right boat to suit your needs, and that won't break the bank with endless refits.
Hehe!! I didn’t want to like your channel but I do!! You’re spot on about The Keys. We are on a ball in BKH now. It’s been fun but we’re ready to move on. Don’t watch a lot of sailing Tubers any longer but did enjoy this one. Good info on the thorny path!! “We’re off like a prom dress”. 😂
I watched them from the start until the cottage crap. So the first sailing channel i can honestly say i watched that has made your list. I figured the kid clock started....
Funny. I saw their early vids and thought, "Meh, just another dude pimping out his GF for likes." I stopped watching. A year later, one of their vids popped up and I watched it to see how they were. Loved it! The humour came out, my builder side was screaming at Matt with his tool handling. They did their mods mostly afloat so I don't know if the boat has the same geometry it started with. It looked great but once done, their love of living aboard was obviously diminished. Really cool couple doing their own thing. One of two channels I bought a t-shirt to support.
I love Matt & Kristen. I think they did all right with that old boat, all things considered. I think Matt bought it for $5k. Then the rudder fell off. The motor was never dependable. The only refrigeration in the boat was Coolie( an ice chest) They have a good schtick.
You could cover the ran or ran 2 swedish sailing channel. They quit in order to build a wooden dream boat at an excruciatingly slow pace by a perfectionist.
Tbf they sold Ran2 because they discovered his father was terminally ill and they wanted to spend time with him back home in Sweden. Their plan had been to carry on across the Pacific on Ran2 and presumably circumnavigate. I’m not sure how much faster he could build that boat. I have to say I thought I’d give up on watching when they announced they were boat building for the next few years but I’m hooked. They managed to make it interesting.
I think maybe one reason some are doing the offgrid/home thing is house vids tend to get lots of views - mamy in the millions of views. For example I rarely watch sailing vids anymore but still watch interesting home vids.
I thought so as well until I looked at the sailing channels doing off grid and they seem to be failing miserably at it, but thats just sailing channels
Agree. Not easy to transition and be good at something new unless there is a lot of heart in it and it's a whole new ballgame and talent in it trying to get people to follow. Many of the successful ones either have some thing like what you mention (eye candy) or a unique build or location.
Chris yes was a great laugh every week. But did enjoy watching their sailing when they did sail. Boat show was fun well worth the time so much there.😀 😀
No offense, but this is the only sailing channel that has no sailing in it. Yet, it is critiquing channels with actual sailing boats and other aspects in it. Lady K is doing a good job in my opinion. I do find your critique entertaining. I would love to see some sailing content on this channel. Igor Strapnik has one of the best channels.
You do realize I have about 40,000 NM filmed and posted on this channel right ? that's just in the last two years, Just click my TH-cam shorts and you will see me on literally dozens of boat sailing thousands of miles , I don't vlog, I'm not a sailing vlogger I am a delivery capt, as far as lady K I havent mentioned him in a video in years I dont think
I think this channel is a unique and brilliant resource. With someone who has a lifetime of experience and makes sense. I don’t dislike Tim on Lady K… and he doesn’t do any sailing content now either. I watch both chanels and if you read the comments on Tim’s latest attack on modern boats it’s interesting how many people are actually politely telling him they don’t agree. I think this channel provides a very good reply to all the other channels and ‘experts’ who tell everyone not to but modern boats. While conveniently ignoring the fact massive massive mayority of the boats out there are modern ‘production’ boats.
I have to seen more than a few sailing channels call it quit. Since I’m a sailor and prefer to watch sailing videos, I have unsubscribed from the ones I had subscribed, and watched every new video, some for years. I wish them the best, but I don’t want to watch their videos of onshore life. More than plenty of those on YTB. And for better or worse, some of those channels really have plateau on their content. Fair winds.
Chris, thank you for the Keyes leads! In my loosely wrapped retirement business plan, Sunset Arts Festival seems a good venue for my little cottage industry. //Sailing GBU are lovely people, but they lost me when they transitioned to land. IMHO, they need a trailer sailer to juice things up now and then. (Agreed that Kristen is feature.)
Life in a Nutshell quit sailing recently. Smaller channel. Australia. Interesting couple. Started out in a narrow boat in canals of England. Then cruised a Hans Christian (one of your favs!) and now bought an auctioned houseboat (is it a dumpster?). Could be a captivating episode?
I've only seen a few episodes of GBU . Maybe I'll check out a few more sometime. I did find your comments about the thorny path in interesting. I know the Bahamas are expensive but if someone was making that trip for the first time wouldn't they want to spend some time checking out the Bahamas and then moving on to other Islands to see what they're about? I guess if you were going straight to Puerto Rico then obviously a straighter path would make some sense. But for those of us who are making their first journey into the Caribbean wouldn't that Island hopping through there make sense?
I used to love watching this couple, until they moved off the boat. Haven't watched them since then. The quickest way to stop me watching your channel? Move off your boat. Or have a kid.
I watched a lot of GBU - very entertaining for sure to watch Matt use a pair of vise-grips for just about everything. I wish they were still sailing. Do you remember the episode where Matt just decides to climb the mast and takes off with absolutely no gear - just climbs up barefooted and muscles it all the way up. Too crazy. You should look that episode up. Anyway, nice review - I thought that the Thorny Path was a automatic adventure for newbies so I was actually looking forward to it. Just follow the Yellow Brick road - I guess not? If you had to take it, can you give us some pointers? Thanks so much!
The bonus information about where to keep your boat in the Keys was great. The rest was entertaining as well. although I kept waiting for the moment where you supposedly "lost it" and never saw anything close to what I consider loosing it.
OK, I just happened upon a channel who's boat you have to review...Sailing NV. Now Now...I know what you're gonna say "The Running COSTS!" But come on, imagine rolling up in the local anchorage in that puppy...if you can get in anywhere with the 1/4 mile draft 💀
You called them inexperienced sailors it was funny he dived and checked the anchor every time. Laura lander iam watching now she's having some hardship now. Have you watched her.
i think Uma fixed their old boat not because they wanted to put money into a boat that should be put down like old yeller.. it's because when they remodeled their boat the first time they got a ton of new subs and then once it was complete views dropped off, so i think they are just trying to grow their channel bigger so they can have a more livable wage when they finally start sailing again. ... I'm part of that problem. i like watching boat repair videos and not really the sailing videos. i found them because of their first refit and ditched them when it was done, now i am watching them again.... I'm going to ditch them again though unless they clickbait me back again with more repair videos.
To change your lie or lifestyle is not to say quitting. We all go through life making changes for many reasons. They had a cheap boat because they had no money for a fancy boat. I have often had to buy cheaper because I could not afford better. I have regretted buying cheaper at times. They have done well for themselves and it started with a cheaper boat. It started with a trash can. We would all like to make all the right decisions at the right times but I will leave perfection to perfect people. Think about this.. All these TH-cam channels that made mistakes allow you to make video's and I guess make money. Now if everyone purchased the perfect boat you could be unemployed. We all learn by our mistakes. Or we don't. Do you have your dream boat? or do you have the one you could afford? 10 dollars per month from how many people? No sponsors ? just 10 per month from how many people 1 person or hundreds? Don't worry about the sponsors they will be OK.
I am not sure I understand your comment, I did nothing but complimented them, showed why buying a cheap boat may not work for everyone, showed comparable, so I literally have no idea what you are talking about ?
@@ChasingLatitudes I like your channel for a start but its a little strange this judging others on boat choices. Trash cans and people that perhaps make mistakes. People that really do not have the money to purchase that dream boat. Yes it can cost a fortune buying an old boat but that's really all some can afford. Not only boats it could be cars. homes just about anything at all. I find its easy to say this or that was a bad decision. These TH-cam sailing channels are just that. I'm not going to buy a trash can just because some TH-cam channel did. I also don't have the 1 or 2 million to buy that dream boat. All you need do to help people is say. In my pinion 50k I would purchase these boats because.. I would keep clear of these boats because. Quitting sailing? Really? Did you ever start doing a thing only to change your own mind your own direction and is that really quitting? All boats are holes to throw money into and some more so than others. What about this ? I'm not really sure this sailing life is for me. Now rather than invest 100k i will buy a cheap boat a trash can just to see? If I then find I and my wife enjoy that lifestyle we can then look to purchase that dream boat or the best we can actually afford. The best boat on the market will not really make any relationship work because if my own wife was not enjoying that life then no amount of luxury at see would help with that not long term. Rich people also separate. Anyone can see the boat was a trash can they made that no secret at all. Boats are bad investments. Boats are not investments in financial terms. You are doing little more than renting but not renting a boat renting good and bad experiences. If I has 2 million and decided to purchase a boat then sell it after 6 years and move to land.. Did I quit ? Would I get my 2 million back? I might loose half a million over that time period. If so that's about 1k per week. Bottom line is boats are not cash investments and people will always loose cash. These TH-cam sailors or some can actually say they made a profit from the initial investment.
@rw2578 but I lay that all out in each video, i show comparable vessels, prices, breakdowns and show other people options they may not have known they have. Always get the boat for yourself, considering I'm friends with the people in the video it's not critical of them, just the boats bit I still state it's worked perfectly for them, I'm a delivery capt, I sail full time and have a vast amount of knowledge with boats, i criticize the boats but always show comparable, the bottom line is that if you actually invested the cost of bkat repairs you can make a better informed choice
@@ChasingLatitudes I like your channel interesting information to anyone would be. 10k 20k 30k 100k and so on. How much actual cash would I expect to loose after 5 or 6 years. Never mind any TH-cam channel because they have very different agendas. Other skills that some have.. Mechanical electrical and so on how important ? Worked on ships and trawlers and sea sickness is a ? No matter how expensive the boat. Simple fact is no one at all will know if this lifestyle would be for them and its not quitting anything at all... Would be absolutely stupid to keep on doing anything that makes you less happy at some point. Couple of children come along a person might just need a bigger home. Might decide its time to live closer to a school a hospital. You have a great channel and I am a fan...You help people.. I have things I do well but I'm sure I could learn more understand more. I would advise no one at all to buy a trash can.. I would put it like this. People seeing your channel might not enjoy being told that their own boat is a trash can.. They would probably know but its all they could afford at that time. Imagine I wanted to sail so much but 5k is all I had.. Imagine I would love to have 100k to invest or lets say spend.
Nice couple and I wish them all the best. A few things..... SGBU is no longer a sailing channel and hasn't been for a while. Their channel needs to be renamed. As you know, Matt is a hard working son of a gun...I always admired his work ethic but always wondered what the hell the Princess was doing while Matt was alone digging ditches all day long. ( editing videos obviously) Other sailing channels show the ladies getting their hands dirty right alongside their men folk......sanding and painting away. Not her....And whats up with the gangsta hand smacking while she talks? I won't comment on the whole bikini issue that helped kick off their channel...works for all the TH-camrs with hot bikini babes. Some, like Sailing Doodles, build an obviously very successful business pimping enhanced gals in bikinis. Best of luck to them both. Maybe they will actually get back into sailing someday.
@@ChasingLatitudes Yea...I'm sure you're right. Kinda sad after Matt put so much work into his boat. Looks like he did a decent job of it too. Oh well....moving on...
Not sure the reason for the criticisms, most people dont do the same stuff forever. If all you want to watch is sailing then when someone stops sailing you wont watch them anymore. However if the people captivate you then youll prob watch whatever they do next. Really dont understand the criticisms of the thorny route, cruising is about touring and visiting new places, very different to getting from A to B with a yacht delivery. Starting to come across as condescending.
What criticism ? of them ? you realize I'm literally friends with them right? Did you even watch the video or did you just hear what you chose to hear so you could be upset ? I explained in detail why the thorny path sucks, you've clearly never sailed it or you would also know why it sucks, 6ooo people watch this video so far and your the only one out of 6000 who felt this way
I did watch the video, all of it, I usually enjoy your videos. You are correct, I havnt sailed the Thorney route, I have been to some of the places, and know a few people who have sailed some of them too. I don't need to have sailed it to find your opinion of sailing past everywhere condescending. Like I said, cruising anywhere is not about getting from A to B, its completely different to yacht deliverys, it's about visiting and experiencing new places and the people that live there, whether they are expensive or not. I would find it interesting, how many of the 6000 viewers would agree and sail past every island, compared to how many would find visiting them interesting.
@@colmidge All good my man, if you felt the video was condescending or if you would like to stop a bunch of places in the Bahamas fantastic, do what's best for you, I skip the Bahamas due to cost but always do what fits your needs not mine

It's pretty hard to watch someone digging a hole week after week !!!! It's just not the same as watching someone sail at 4-7 knots somehow ... lol
Very true
Matt & Kristen have a warm and friendly personal interaction with each other that made their sailing enjoyable to watch.
They are great
Was the girl hot and in a bikini all the time. Generally that’s what matters in sailing. Having hot friends in bikinis is also very important
I followed them from the beginning purely for Kristen's advice on sunscreen. You can never be too safe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watched them from the start until the cottage crap. So the first sailing channel i can honestly say i watched that has made your list. I figured the kid clock started....
Funny. I saw their early vids and thought, "Meh, just another dude pimping out his GF for likes." I stopped watching. A year later, one of their vids popped up and I watched it to see how they were. Loved it! The humour came out, my builder side was screaming at Matt with his tool handling. They did their mods mostly afloat so I don't know if the boat has the same geometry it started with. It looked great but once done, their love of living aboard was obviously diminished. Really cool couple doing their own thing. One of two channels I bought a t-shirt to support.
I thought the same when I first saw the channel, but as you found they crack a person up and are hilarious
i abandoned their channel like they abandoned their boat.
I love Matt & Kristen. I think they did all right with that old boat, all things considered. I think Matt bought it for $5k. Then the rudder fell off. The motor was never dependable. The only refrigeration in the boat was Coolie( an ice chest) They have a good schtick.
I love em, they crack me up, I will still make fun of them, even more so because I like them
Another great video. Thanks again. Best of luck to them on the new adventure.

You could cover the ran or ran 2 swedish sailing channel. They quit in order to build a wooden dream boat at an excruciatingly slow pace by a perfectionist.
I will take a gander
Tbf they sold Ran2 because they discovered his father was terminally ill and they wanted to spend time with him back home in Sweden.

Always get the boat for yourself, considering I'm friends with the people in the video it's not critical of them, just the boats bit I still state it's worked perfectly for them, I'm a delivery capt, I sail full time and have a vast amount of knowledge with boats, i criticize the boats but always show comparable, the bottom line is that if you actually invested the cost of bkat repairs you can make a better informed choice
@@ChasingLatitudes I like your channel interesting information to anyone would be. 10k 20k 30k 100k and so on. How much actual cash would I expect to loose after 5 or 6 years. Never mind any TH-cam channel because they have very different agendas. Other skills that some have.. Mechanical electrical and so on how important ? Worked on ships and trawlers and sea sickness is a ? No matter how expensive the boat. Simple fact is no one at all will know if this lifestyle would be for them and its not quitting anything at all... Would be absolutely stupid to keep on doing anything that makes you less happy at some point. Couple of children come along a person might just need a bigger home. Might decide its time to live closer to a school a hospital. You have a great channel and I am a fan...You help people.. I have things I do well but I'm sure I could learn more understand more.
I would advise no one at all to buy a trash can.. I would put it like this. People seeing your channel might not enjoy being told that their own boat is a trash can.. They would probably know but its all they could afford at that time.
Imagine I wanted to sail so much but 5k is all I had.. Imagine I would love to have 100k to invest or lets say spend.
I stopped clicking on any sailing channels with bikini clickbait, because they all suck, even with volume off lol
Ha
Hey Chris, didnt know that guy of 'lady k sailing had another youtube channel called 'practical sailor' wonder who he copied that from lol
They for some reason made him the voice of their channel, seems wild to me as the guy is a complete moron
@@ChasingLatitudes something else not his work then lol
Nice couple and I wish them all the best. A few things..... SGBU is no longer a sailing channel and hasn't been for a while. Their channel needs to be renamed. As you know, Matt is a hard working son of a gun...I always admired his work ethic but always wondered what the hell the Princess was doing while Matt was alone digging ditches all day long. ( editing videos obviously) Other sailing channels show the ladies getting their hands dirty right alongside their men folk......sanding and painting away. Not her....And whats up with the gangsta hand smacking while she talks? I won't comment on the whole bikini issue that helped kick off their channel...works for all the TH-camrs with hot bikini babes. Some, like Sailing Doodles, build an obviously very successful business pimping enhanced gals in bikinis. Best of luck to them both. Maybe they will actually get back into sailing someday.
I dont see sailing in their future, the boat they had is basically jsut a rotting mess at this point
@@ChasingLatitudes Yea...I'm sure you're right. Kinda sad after Matt put so much work into his boat. Looks like he did a decent job of it too. Oh well....moving on...
Yeah
Not sure the reason for the criticisms, most people dont do the same stuff forever. If all you want to watch is sailing then when someone stops sailing you wont watch them anymore. However if the people captivate you then youll prob watch whatever they do next.
Really dont understand the criticisms of the thorny route, cruising is about touring and visiting new places, very different to getting from A to B with a yacht delivery.
Starting to come across as condescending.
What criticism ? of them ? you realize I'm literally friends with them right? Did you even watch the video or did you just hear what you chose to hear so you could be upset ? I explained in detail why the thorny path sucks, you've clearly never sailed it or you would also know why it sucks, 6ooo people watch this video so far and your the only one out of 6000 who felt this way
I did watch the video, all of it, I usually enjoy your videos. You are correct, I havnt sailed the Thorney route, I have been to some of the places, and know a few people who have sailed some of them too. I don't need to have sailed it to find your opinion of sailing past everywhere condescending. Like I said, cruising anywhere is not about getting from A to B, its completely different to yacht deliverys, it's about visiting and experiencing new places and the people that live there, whether they are expensive or not. I would find it interesting, how many of the 6000 viewers would agree and sail past every island, compared to how many would find visiting them interesting.
@@colmidge All good my man, if you felt the video was condescending or if you would like to stop a bunch of places in the Bahamas fantastic, do what's best for you, I skip the Bahamas due to cost but always do what fits your needs not mine
Loved their channel, but not too many bikini pics in the jungle... lol
Brother this is seriously old news
People who buy these boats are crazy
True
👏👏👍👍❤❤
Did you pronounce faux as "faucks?" You know it's pronounced "foe," right? You were making the funnies?
