Hey guys!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ✨ We just would like to clarify the epoxy caulking situation. We understand why so many of you are concerned about it. We know that epoxy is hard and wouldn’t be ideal for caulking.. but the one we are using is called MEC 5000 from TecPox and it’s specially made for caulking as it stays flexible. We are very happy about the outcome of it and we believe it will work properly.. so we shouldn’t worry! Thanks to everyone who brought it up thinking of our own good, we really appreciate yours suggestions! Xx Ben & MP
In the immortal words of Fred Flintstone...Yaba Daba Do...and you guys do,do,do. It must be an optical illusion because from the outside Yaba looks huge, but not so big on the inside. Are you going to be able to sail her with just two people or will you take on crew. Nezo (hope that is the spelling) is legend. What a craftsman👍
I am glad you have finally addressed the deck drainage problem. However, I am not convinced a few little holes will be enough. If you take waves splashing over in heavy seas you could have loads of water there. Even with heavy rain, the size of the roof and deck areas could collect a lot of water. And I mean a lot. The board is maybe only 2" thick, but the area it contains is large. That water needs to be drained off rapidly, otherwise it will find ways to seep through and cause loads of damage, as happened to Yabá before. No matter how well it is caulked, if water is collecting on deck, especially with the movement of a wooden ship, water will find a way through.
Yes dreams come true. Beautiful boat. My dream is both of you bring along the black dog. He is adorable and deserve to travel to wherever paradise you heading.
my name is cecep from Indonesia, I can't wait to see this ship sail the oceans and seas ... I think this is a very googs and classy ship I want to join you in sailing the wide ocean
these are absolute craftsmen shipwrights iv never seen guys work together as these guys, the guy doing the corking woodpecker must be brain dead as doing that 24/7 would kill my brain, the old guy is a fantastic workman, especially at his age he knows his job inside out what a guy, dave from Grimsby in the UK
I recall admiring the interior doors during an earlier walk-through, before you gutted the interior. It's very pleasing that you're re-using some of them, and that the new doors will be in a similar 'nautical' style! This phase of the build is just as engrossing as the work on the hull and decks! She's getting more beautiful now with every episode.
Important! I would recommend you to make a secret little room on the boat where you can store valuables. Either as part of the boat, or in a piece of furniture. It's something I have on my boat and I'm super happy with such a solution.
@@lookronjon When you want to live on board a boat, it is necessary to have a safe place where you can store valuables. It is not always there a some on board. Why are you talking about atomic bombs? What has that got to do with sailboats?
@@larrypinter3321 Hi Lerry. It will not be smart, then it is not a secret room anymore. It's just now it will be smart to get made when the boat is so open. I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of it being a secret.
Use a drill bit the same size of the hole and then just shove some epoxy into the hole and run the bit in and out a few times. The hole will protect the epoxy from UV damage and coat the wood inside. Much cheaper than using anything else. Should protect the wood for a very long time.
I agree with Edward Cassel about epoxy. However you get it in the hole a liberal coating will protect the wood for many years to come. You might try a length of dowel or similar with a big blob of cotton wool on the end. Soak the cotton with epoxy and go to it!
Ben, might I suggest that you wear a mask while you’re doing all that turning on the lathe, gotta protect your lungs. But man, this ship is looking good. Awesome team!
Hi Ben and MP, I really enjoy watching you both on your journey of rebuilding Yaba. In the architectural world the interior columns are called ‘studs’ and the horizontal wood members that join them are called ‘blocking’. Also the continuous horizontal wood members at the bottom (and top) of the stud framed walls are generally called ‘bottom plates’ if at the bottom of the stud framed walls and ‘top plates’ if at the top of the stud framed walls. Keep up the great work and all the best!
Been following for awhile. I love the old-school craftsmanship and their care in their work. No offense to anyone.but in usa Goodluck and better have $millions to even come close..you are doing a great job, keeping hand crafts alive,and its looking beautiful. Hugzz to all involved. 😊
What's often done on bigger ships like yours and mine is to drain the water from the deck into a sink, lead it inside the boat in a hose to a through hull just above the water line. The benefit is that you don't have that algae growth and that dirt lines where the water is drained outside of the hull.
In house building we call the 'vertical column' a stud, the 'roof column' a top plate, the 'floor column' a bottom plate, and the 'middle columns' noggins. 😉😉
Nice job m8s, like how the dog climbed the ladder to get to the deck. . I am impressed with the work thats been done. Thanks, keep up the good work, and you and yours stay safe and well.
My favorite part about Sunday, is waking up and getting to watch you guys build this amazing boat. Thank you for letting me see into this snapshot of your life.
Unfortunately I have to wait till Monday morning (just after midnight on Sunday, it's 00:32 as I type this), but none the less I do look forward to every episode 👍🏼
She’s coming out absolutely beautiful! Those drainage holes you should treat with a paint or something then line with a tubing and caulk the tubing in place or something to prevent those holes from getting rot. Another thing on your deck boards. You should caulk them and not epoxy because the epoxy bonds too much and you’ll never get it off to do normal 5 years maintenance. Stick with the caulk there I’d say. She’s really looking gorgeous! Great work
Hey Ben the columns are called wall studs and the pieces wood between the studs at the top of the wall is called top plate and the one at the bottom is called a bottom plate and the ones in between is called blocking. Hope that helps you out, for next time. I think that little dog love you Ben he's seems to be obsessed with you. I have a dog named Charlie and he's obsessed with my wife. LOL
I came back and finished the episode. Is Yaba ever taking shape. Some thoughts: Ben I envy the experience you are getting actually doing and/or contributing to each task: a condensed boat building apprenticeship. And I know MP is also hands on and learning so much. In every way this will make you both better sailors (once actually under sail) and your decisions as owners will be with the benefit of your having actually been hands on rebuilding Yaba. Just before MP got teary about the interior I was thinking how great it was looking as it was taking shape. I so look forward to seeing the interior being built. Dawson
What I like for this restauration is that it is made for craftment, this kind of people don't need drawing of instructions, the know by experience their needed and they built it.
Quinta ou sexta-feira encontrei num hortifruti da cidade o senhor que aparece nos primeiros minutos do vídeo com uma blusa de lã de cor marron (acho que Nélio ou Nésio). Ele ficou desconfiado quando puxei conversa com ele, mas depois conversamos um pouco sobre o barco. Ele nem sabe que é famoso no TH-cam. Hehehehe. Abraços a vocês!!!! Happy new year all family Sailing Yabá!!!!
I've been following you for a long time and I'm happy for you that you will soon be finished. Big respect for the carpenters. I can only say yabalicious!! best greetings from Austria Michel
Thanks So Much for sharing your lives with us .... All the Very Best to You, Yours and The Team for 2022. May this year bring you All your Dreams and Wishes .... Keep well and Stay safe .... Cheers from New Zealand
Too late now, but for future reference, when you are doing that sort of caulking with the epoxy paste, put it in a pastry gage and cut off one of the corners for much more precise placement and less mess.
If you take a look at MJ SAILING they use disposable icing bags to put epoxy around small narrow areas it’s so much faster and less waste. This would be perfect for the caulking coverage. X
Wow so many things going on , great workmanship. all taking shape well. Extra water tanks ? I am assuming a water maker will be essential as you wont want to be at a dock very often as so expensive for your size even if available. Love the old doors being re-used.
Fantastic progress. Just an FYI the wall structure are typically called studs , headers and sill plates (in the framing of the living spaces) Don’t forget to run conduits for your electrical and communications items before getting to far along. It’ll safe so many headaches!!!
Ben , better use a strong plastic bag to put in the caulking and cut of a smal point to use the plasticbag as a caulking gun. Net zoals een bakker een slagroomtaart opspuit.
To make your epoxy job easier you might want to use a plastic bag and cut a corner off and you can apply it easier and you can control the amount. Use it like a icing bag

Where is Caio’s room ? 🐕🦺
I see a real problem with your deck, how do you get the water off it?????????????
@@icarus877sorry but did u watch the video ?
@@icarus877 What's the problem? that these many years of experience shipwrights haven't considered?
Your Yabba videos are part of the reason I'm in the process of trying to buy a 45 foot, liveaboard, ocean going yacht. Thank you for the inspiration.
The dog always steals the show. 🥰
Woody wood pecker must have the patience of a saint, what a big job just the corking is. Looking great guys.
The best prodgect!!!!!
Best wishes from Russia
That’s so cool MP. The boys are hard at work building your dream home while you’re busy up to your elbows in grease and oil, building an engine.
The biggest "monster build" I have seen on any sailing channel!!!
dude you need to dedicate to a badass mustache, styled, full, and fancy. The internet needs this!
The good thing about the interior is the great storage you have all around the hull.

Neale is right. I would visit some of the other boats of similar size and see how big and how many suppers they have.
I don’t think this boat will see heavy seas, coastal cruising at most, well I certainly hope so.
i think the bulwalk planks close to the deck planks should have been 2" of the deck for drainage. never seen holes like that which could rot out
Yes Neale, I agree wholeheartedly with your suggestions. Yaba needs bigger scupper drains,
Yes dreams come true. Beautiful boat. My dream is both of you bring along the black dog. He is adorable and deserve to travel to wherever paradise you heading.
In several video shots, daylight shines through between the planks of the boats hull. Beautiful wood everywhere

It’s really starting to take shape now guys
Since you are rebuilding Yaba without plans, Yaba will be very unique! Looking good. 👍

Hi Stephan!!
Wow! I'm still feeling like I am part of the family. I am so excited.
So glad that those rounded doorframes made it back in the boat.
Yes, we love them!

A room in a room. Usually for nuclear or biological issues.

Yeah, and you can make a video building it, showing its location, and all the valuables being stored in there 😁
@@larrypinter3321 Hi Lerry. It will not be smart, then it is not a secret room anymore. It's just now it will be smart to get made when the boat is so open. I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of it being a secret.
@@kennethjoachimdecastrobend4092 I think you misunderstood my obvious joke.
Yaba has such a graceful and powerful profile.
Less space below decks for dancing with MP but the dream is coming together.
I think the drainage hole needs to be coated or caulk with a cylindrical materials that will prevent the water from damaging the tender wood
I was thinking brass tubes. Bedding them in. Soaking the wood with thinned out epoxy. Fairing them out to match the contours.
Use a drill bit the same size of the hole and then just shove some epoxy into the hole and run the bit in and out a few times. The hole will protect the epoxy from UV damage and coat the wood inside. Much cheaper than using anything else. Should protect the wood for a very long time.

Yeah. Seems like a bad idea to make drainage through wood like that.
The correct name for these drain holes is limber holes.
Ben, might I suggest that you wear a mask while you’re doing all that turning on the lathe, gotta protect your lungs. But man, this ship is looking good. Awesome team!
At one point he was, but I think a face shield is more important. Things fly off of lathes.
cant wait to see the finish project
This is a great project, its not everyday we see an old style wooden boat being built.
Thanks for sharing.
Have you not watched Acorn to Arabella, Travels with Geordie, Ship Happens, Salt and Tar, Building She:Kon, Sampson Boat Company...

I think this little dog has chosen you to be it's master . When a dog climbs a ladder to be with you , that means something .
What's often done on bigger ships like yours and mine is to drain the water from the deck into a sink, lead it inside the boat in a hose to a through hull just above the water line. The benefit is that you don't have that algae growth and that dirt lines where the water is drained outside of the hull.

And the dog!

I can see it, beyond the sticks. Looking good.
Love that music " u are my sunlight "
Nezo is the best, so skilled!
Nice job m8, looks like Yaba, is coming together slowly but surely. Thanks, you and yours and your builders stay safe and well.
Thank you Greg, you too!
Boat is looking wonderful. Are you guys going to put in a soldier system. 🍻
A cake icing bag is a great way to caulk those seams
Muy lindo video. Cailliu será un gran marinero!!!!
So very wholesome!
she is looking good, well done, good luck.
Thanks for showing the shipwrights, is amazing what they are doing.
So cool to see everything starting to come together.
Thanks Dan!
I like this video you have shown more of the construction, less talking. I do enjoy your commentary that’s not just filler. Keep up the good work.

The invention of the lathe made the industrial revolution possible! What a tool it is.
Foot powered wood lathes far pre dated the industrial revolution!
Hey Ben the columns are called wall studs and the pieces wood between the studs at the top of the wall is called top plate and the one at the bottom is called a bottom plate and the ones in between is called blocking. Hope that helps you out, for next time. I think that little dog love you Ben he's seems to be obsessed with you. I have a dog named Charlie and he's obsessed with my wife. LOL
Love watching the skilled mechanics work. I wish there were some young people learning the trade.
