    A great big well done Golden Child, great to see mum and dad with you along with the rest of the crew. Also you fulfilled one of your promises, Mahi did sail THIS year.👍👍

    Oh, man. Mark that was sooo worth the wait. I am so made up for you. Hearing your mum saying how proud she was of you brought a tear to my eye and I'm sure there were around 90k people feeling the same way. After all you've been through over the past year this is your vindication. Well done dude! ❤

    The most obvious aspect of this video is that it shows you have incredible, charming, warm hearted parents. You are really fortunate to have that kind of support. The boat is coming along nicely…well done… be safe

    I'm so glad you got Mahi out of that grave yard she'd been sitting in for so many years. The channel suddenly came to light as if out of a long deep winter and you've emerged into warmer sunny summertime.

    I'm flabbergasted that you were able to take this big hunk of a cat across the meer under its own steam that was nothing more than a few small outboards and heath robinson rigging. A great achievement and a shape of things to come.

    One of the best videos you’ve made recently, some TH-camrs make a whole video on fault finding and cleaning a carb - you gave us 15 seconds, whip it out, straw it through, engine running - chip off the old block… also watching your mum sat in a deck chair perched on the pontoon saying ‘this is great’ was class.

    I’m so pleased to see this video. Mate! When you got to 2.5kts under ‘sail’ I thought bloody impressive for a jury rig. That’s a lot of boat to push with a couple of handkerchiefs.
    Well done young lad.

    Mark, fantastic episode...I'm so happy for you! I must confess I shed a tear or two when you declared "we're sailing" followed by some big sighs with an ear to ear smile. This trip felt like a 21st century version of Tom Sawyer on his raft. You have come so far over such a short time in so many ways. The love and generosity of your family and friends is so inspiring. Wishing you all the best with the next steps in your MAHI project.

    Driving, sailing, on the hard in a boat yard. Your folks are so positive and accommodating. Especially travelling at sea in such cold and blustery weather. Boat borrom is probably good but need scraping, cleaning, some fresh paint and maybe a few patches to fix. Most of the work on the rudders, hatches, port lights.

  • @mckenziekeith7434

    Before you bought that boat I am sure there were a lot of people who thought it would never move again. It is so great to see it well on its way to rehabilitation. I will admit to being skeptical when you bought it.

Your an awesome person and others fill that and this brings them to want to help you out. ❤️👍☝️keep being the kind and awesome person you are man!!!you need to knoch out around the bilge hoses so the board will lay flat so you don't break a leg till you can reroute your hoses out of the way then you can fix the knoches later just don't twist your ankle or hurt your leg.

    When using a hole saw:
    Drill the pilot and a little way in with the hole saw itself.
    Then flip the workpiece over and cut all the way through from the other side.
    You will have no tear-out as you exit the work piece, as you already made some cuts from the primary side.

I just bought my first Sail boat also, and I would love nothing more than to share it with her. I enjoy your videos, and look forward t seeing you get your boat refit. Cheers! from Portland Oregon. Come visit. We can both sail up the coast to the Islands. youd love it!

  • @jonnytooze
    @jonnytooze ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Mark, this was brilliant. Out of context this could be a disaster movie, with jury-rigged sails and what-not, but in context it looked like an incredibly relaxed sail with mates and family. Love it - made me giggle! The boat looks amazing at sea. I wasn't sure at first, but the thing looks solid af. Can't wait to see what rig she gets. As ever, good luck!

    Mark, May I make a positive comment, when you are using a hole saw to cut the finger holes in the plywood birth boards, just before the hole saw cuts through, flip the board over and cut from the opposite side… you will eliminate the break out of the veneer… John…

  • @MrJdsenior
    @MrJdsenior ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice milestone, good luck going forward with the rest of the rebuild at the boatyard. Just getting to sail a little bit on it, such as it was, had to be at least a bit 'motivating'.
    I have a Mercury 9.8 I used quite a bit about 40-45 years ago, and not since. I took it out and went to start it and the darned thing started first pull. My jaw nearly hit the floor. There was nothing coming out the pea hole so I shut it off after about 7 or 8 seconds. I suspect the rubber impeller has turned to dust, but it's an easy fix. I used that motor for many many hours and never once had any problems with it at all. Take it to the lake, mount it up, a pull or two and off to boating, every time.
    So I guess what I'm saying is that if you drain the carb every time you finish using it, it will start every time without problems. Running and not restarting after you pulled a vacuum in the tank is pretty weird. I forgot and did that once or twice in the many many times out, and opened the vent and it started fine.
    The only sailing I've done is on the 16' Hobie I own, but again, haven't done it is probably 20 years. At my age I don't think I could even step the mast by myself anymore. Looking forward to see you REALLY sailing, all up.
    Your mom is my age, they look like a couple of fun characters. "Somethin' had come loose on the carb". I'm betting there's a fair chance I can guess what it was. :-) I hate it when that happens.
