Watching you is never boring. Your energy is admirable. Kika's humor and the idea with the "Bond Girl" is just great🤩Dan, you are so talented in what you do and how you explain it. Good luck with your project...
A sailing channel when the sailors finally get in the water! Wow. Even if it was only a paddle to do the dishes
I’m so happy I found your channel some, not sure how much exactly, years ago.
I'm currently tearing out the head on my Gulfstar Hirsch. You're an inspiration! I just happen to be 30 years older and by myself. I've lost my mind...
The paper thin flexible panels and the photovalic fabrics will change the game.once they start being mass produced. The polymer and film based cells may be less efficient, but their light weight, flexibility and durability makes them easy to string together and sew into fabrics. Ones already developed produce 18x more power per kilogram than today's best silicon based cells. I envision Sails, Bimini's, Dodgers, Awnings, RV, and vehicle roofs, you name it, made from solar fabrics and films in the not so distant future.

Hey team, as you're background is in architecture, I just wanted to know if you had any artists impression or a 3d boat layout sketch or your plans? You guys absolutely rock when it comes to boat DIY
Uma's secret weapon: the Kika with Makita. What's missing? A GRJ02Z, 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless AVT® Orbital Recipro Saw :-) Seriously, how can you demo without one?
“220-230? Whatever it takes” Mr Mom!
20:48
How much power are you pushing through that xt60 connector?
I really appreciate your problem solving attitude. From the start of your channel with your very limited financial means at the time, to your much greater spending power today. You seem to consistently find an approach that fits your requirements and means without overbuilding it, and able to accept the tradeoffs and limitations that come with it, and never skimp on putting the time and effort in. That has built you a boat (and a channel) that’s at any time the best it could have been. Very well done.
Sfg🎉😢😊ihuæ0q4ð😀❤
I’m amazed how that magical boat with all those defects got you through Norway, Swalsbard, Iceland to Italy. It’s mind blowing you all are in one piece and alive. Bravo Uma ❤
People have been sailing across oceans with boats in much worse shape for centuries.
Every boat has defects, both design issues an stuff that's simply broken.
If nothing is broken, it's not a boat.
@@jeffdege4786 Or she just splashed for her maiden voyage.
@@inventiveowl395 You clearly have a higher opinion of the QA of modern boat makers than I...
@@jeffdege4786 Well, I *am* a couchsailor from a landlocked country, never stood aboard a sailing vessel and the boat building channels I watch the most on youtube are Sampson Boat Co and The Art of Boatbulding so I agree my point of view has to be skewed quite a bit. For example, Sailing Yabá is on my watchlist as well, but I've always taken that as - "It's Brazil, things work a bit differently there.."
Rule is stated at 23:45 - 90% planning, 7% mistakes, 3% actually doing the project
I thought is was, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one" ;)
and 2% repairs so its actually 1% doing.
You are probably proud of yourself now 😂.
You are a kind generous soul! Saved my life by 30 odd minutes
This is not about wham, bam, thank you ma’am! It is about the journey, the life! Enjoy these amazing people or move on!
Amazing. You should change the opening sound to a car honking...
Luckily my dishes bucket floats!❤
Definitely a Bond Girl!
#SavingUma ❤
You two are just such a joy to watch. You're silly and fun and playful all while still getting that work done. It's my favourite part of the week when you come out with a new video.
I always look forward to the end of the week for an Uma vid. Made some chicken and coconut curry and sat down to watch.
Both Kika and Dan are so accomplished and talented, but the silly childlike quality they share together is what I love to see. One of the best channels on TH-cam.
Nothing seems to be attached to the hull or is structural. And it still floats and was sea worthy. Crazy. Can't wait to see Uma's massive makeover. Blessings!
Flexible boats are strong boats. I hope Kika and Dan don't make UMA too rigid. A bit of flexible design allows the loading stresses to be transferred and shared. The brilliant work they did in step 114 bonding the deck to hull created a structural monocoque probably 'stronger' than the original design. My guess is that a few bonded ribs where the hull has deformed or bends too far would be perfect. I would rather sail a boat that bends under unexpected extreme loading than be in one that cracks and breaks apart.
@@charlielloyd1080 it's amazing that little boat has traveled so far. The structural issue of the mass and the lack of structural attachments that caused the boat to dimple on the sides, hopefully this can be replaced. After gutting a boat that much is there still value in Reglassing and reattaching of the boat has been molded to this flimsy life? For example is someone loses 100lbs, their body is forever damaged carrying all of that excess weight.. (skin stretched, joints ruined, fat cells large, stomach stretched). Can the boat be restored? 🥴
Rule of construction projects: The first 90% of any project takes the first 90% of the time and the last 10% of the project takes the next 90% of the time.
Here's another one...
"Murphy was an optimist".
The follow up mantra, To try and control time: Don't strive for Perfection, when Excellence will Do.
I´m 200% sure the math check out on that one ;-)
@@Gpcas9 Math sometimes lies. Just ask anyone who is doing a major project.
@@ghost307 I used to work with a machine maintenance specialist who believed in Murphy's Theorem. "The possibility of a machine's operating efficiently is inverse to the needs of the operator."
Hi guys, I really admire you both that you can still love each other after living on such a small boat for many years. Thank you for everything you do on this channel you’re very inspirational I really love and appreciate you both Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the island 🏝️
Demolition is great, but I can’t wait to see the Architects Unleashed on the rebuild 👍🏻
You guys are getting better and better and better at production and editing, Bravo!!
stop it you know you only liked the bond part
there rest is great too
They still haven't worked out how to make things instantly happen by clicking their fingers.
From the first minute I was saying "you keep getting better with your photography skills!" One of my favorite episodes (mostly because of the photography) was going through the canal that was along side a meandering shoal river in England, (I think. ) This will be another favorite.
It’s wonderful to watch boat work without the drama of a fictitious timeline. 😂❤😊
What do you mean a fictitious timeline?
It sounds so weird to hear you call Uma "the boat"...almost like she's lost her soul if she's in pieces.
Blud, it's a boat.
"I got 99 problems and the boat's every one." 🤣😂 Another amazing video!
That’s such a huge project to take on. We enjoy watching you solve each problem that comes up while having fun at the same time.
You need a "Sawzall" type saw for demolition, not a jig saw which is used for finish work. It will save you tons of time.
This a thousand times yes. Sawzall is an amazing tool. Heavy reinforced blade and mechanism with aggressive teeth. Cuts through everything like butter.
Don't know if you noticed this or not, they live on a small sailboat. Space & weight is very limited. Sacrifices have to be made. Sorta like the no couch thing.
@@fnamelname3391 I think they know
@@fnamelname3391 I was going to say something very similar 👍
Japan and Taiwan are 110 V too but yeah most of the world is 220-240 V, Good to know you can get 220 V at docks in North America, I didn't know that 👍
Killin’ it as usual, guys! You’ve been a huge inspiration for us in what we’d like to do to our Pearson 424 someday. We can’t wait to see the final results of UMA 2.0!
I am really proud of you for your willingness to fight through this refit! Uma really does live a special life, and I hope she keeps you safe on the years to come!
All my electrical tools used to be all makita when I 1st quit smoking I used to buy a new tool every month to reward myselfAll my electrical tools used to be all makita when I 1st quit smoking I used to buy a new tool every month to reward myself Mostly all women ended up burning out the only I have left now is my skill saw and the little tiny jigsaw but with A-war oak piece on it like you're replacing Stop buying makita grinders cause they burnt out too much decided just to start going with a cheap grinder
Should you rinse off in the ocean, all the tiny bits of fiberglass/eopxy/microbaloons/etc are not good for the environment? Have a proper shower and let the dirty water be treated by towns sewerage system.
Otherwise great video as always !
Get yourself some Half decent battery tools DeWalt or Makita will be ok there is better but Wow how much.
The bond thing was just fun to watch. Love the humor. And your hair is still absolutely amazing.
Makes sense that's it way harder than it looks. Love Kika's sexy hair flip. Yall are such a badass couple. Been a fan for quite awhile. I was actually thinking that yall must have spent a lot of time planning the final layout before ever starting.
Hi,having watched your channel for a long time,I realised that the learning curve doesn’t stop…it just changes arcs.Being an old man I wonder how we managed without all of the hand power tools that are available today.Thank you,Roly 🇬🇧.
I really like the editing in this episode! It feels a bit different, somewhat more snappy, and quite entertaining.
The amount of clickbait you could, but are *not* doing, is impressive.
I'm so stoked to see you two with the island of Tavolara in the background! It's my vacation spot since forever :) Hope you''ll find time to explore around you
After Baywatch, BAYWASH!😂
is there any structural part on that boat 😂
Having the saw overload the inverter wouldn't be too surprising. Electric motors draws more power under load, and brushed motors are fairly "nasty" things as far as most inverters are concerned. I would more or less put it down to tool load rather than anything else. The thing might have gummed up a bit or have gotten misaligned during reassembly, or the wood getting cut were simply putting up a fight. (I would bet on the wood to be fair. Aged wood tends to be stronger than "fresh" store bought wood in my experience.)
However, there is plenty of different types of inverters, some handle the spiky power draw nature of brushed motors better than others.
A "quick fix" is an AC motor and have it spinning freely and act as a flywheel to help the inverter handle the power spikes. However, this is more common for 3 phase systems, but single phase AC motors also exist. Using an AC motor in this fashion is known in the industry as a synchronous capacitor and isn't too atypical for stabilizing electric grids. But in effect, it is just a free spinning AC motor, if something stalls out the grid the spinning mass of the motor will do its best to keep the grid going, reducing its inertia in the process. One can also do this to clean up the AC waveform of cheaper inverters, making them produce a somewhat cleaner sine wave.
As much as I find the boat fascinating, what I really love to see is your beautiful smiles and your warmth with each other.
Loved the "Flashdance" homage, epic, though far removed from 1983, and I was almost middle aged then, so now, holy crap, how did that ever happen? Where did all that time go? You must have at some point sailed on some of that water that went under that particular bridge. From a carefree time to finding yourself an Old Codger but I can't say it happened overnight can I, it's been 40 years.
What's wrong with folding squares like everybody would do intuitively? I see no benefit with the origami style.
I admire your tenacity to just jump into projects and figure things out. I’m inspired to get my hands dirty on making some dreams happen. ❤️
Me too, Elyssa!
Thanks for the update and sharing another day in the life... I read that about 80% of our time is taken with maintenance and only about 20% of our time is productive. That is based on those who are actually productive and not spending hours watching TH-cam, like me!!
Intermitente problems are the worst. Glad it worked out. 3% actually doing, LOL, yes. My experience too. So nice of you to say so. Cheers!
Hi, you two work so good together and are great taskmasters. The scientist and technicians are working on seeing and hearing thoughts. Kika, you look so good in a bikini. I'm jealous of Dan, he he. Working on tools so you can work is a nice little description. Thanks you too and catch you next time❤
Beautiful video ☺👍
You two are the only one's I'd watch turn their home into a sailboat shaped cereal bowl. Can't wait to see who Uma becomes!
Don't know if you have thought of this or not (probably have) but when I'm using the RV on a beach I keep a two feet size pan with a little water in it to dip my feet in before entering the RV, and a towel or two on the floor to kinda dry them. Just really helps keeping sand out of your home (and your bed!)
never run your fingers over the commutator without cleaning it after
Hi, your both doing a great job , nothing like a ? good clear out ,you,ve been there before . Have fun and carry on calmly .👍👍
Throw in another vote for the Champ(Uma)! The handlers are wonderful on a fine path they chosen in today’s human rat race. Good Health to you& Uma.
As an avid billiards fan, when you say "Van-boating" I hear Van Boening, as in possibly the greatest American pool player to ever play, Shane Van Boening. So when you say it'd make an awesome last name, I cannot help but agree! I love you guys and I love the adventure you're on. I'm so excited to see Uma when you're ready to sail again!
Love Van Boating too. Van Boening means something else to me entirely:)
Wonderful to catch up on a Sunday afternoon with smart people enjoing life and problem solving. Also loved that "Mike Patey" moment :) ... Back to work!
Definitely the ocean cannot be taken out of a sailor, so the new mother ship and her dinghy. Thank you Dan for showing what was and how to fix the issue of your jigsaw and then come up with alternate solutions to make ways.
Painting a week's full of events into half hour clip flawlessly is an art in itself.
Great video, keep it up 👍
Rebuild going ok,keep up 💯
What I love it is always your positive attitude
About your jigsaw problem with kicking the breaker in your inverter. Electric motors are inductive devices and brushed motors can make for a very "dirty load" because every time the contact is broken from a coil the voltage goes to infinity theoretically. This "noise" doesn't harm the power grid, but your inverter needs to protect itself and it will if it is smart enough. Your inverter it seems is smart enough. It could be a fast current trip or a fast voltage trip. The other possibility is that even though your saw shouldn't draw more power than your inverters rating, it does so at a bad "power factor" -which means that due to a mismatch in impedance, the power you draw is higher than the power you use. Your saw might have a capacitor in it to correct power factor (and suppress electrical noise), and that capacitor may have gone bad in it's old age.
If it "fixed itself" it was likely the electrical noise from the brushes. You pulled the rotor, and maybe touched the contacts. The problem was burned away with use.
Swear 90 times, hit it 7 times, give up 3 times, I know it well.............
Wow that's the same problem I had with my old makita but it wore out so bad that I would have to place a new part for it still works but the guy just screwed up when the year adjusting yours is newer to mine but it's same old problem with the Tita but the older ones are way better way heavier seems like makia is gone really cheap But they cost a lot
When your Makita dies don't fix it. The Bosch is the only jig saw worth having. Mine (and a circular saw) did all the cutting on a 60' offshore tuna boat.
ps: Great Team!!
Time lapse dinner time? Lmao! 30:59
I am loving this series. You are both great editors.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE treat yourselves to a reciprocating saw!!! It is painful to watch you guys demo the boat without the best tool for the job…. You guys are worth having the best tools!!!
I love watching y'alls channel may the winds keep your sails full😎👍
Looks like you’re coming right along with the Major project, Mr & Misses Van Boating..!! 🚌 ⛵️
At 17:15, I am so with you when you say you hate problems fixing themselves. Have you ever noticed, when typing, what it feels like when you know you've hit two keys at once, in error - but the second key you hit is the next letter you needed anyway? Working that out takes three times as long as a simple typo you can just correct.
It's very sad to see you tearing UMA apart, after all that beautiful work you have done, to make her look new! The problem with the inverter....my opinion is inverters and much like GFCI outlets and breakers. They will pick up stray current, going to ground and trip. You can use it on a regular outlets and have no problem. I have seen this problem before. I am a electrician and worked 45 years in the trade.I am not saying I know it all, but I a little! The big corporations make these expensive safety equipment and the electrical authority, inforces us to have to buy it. In the name of safety. I am not saying that we shouldn't be safe. But that's my opinion on it! Lloyd...from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦
Stay safe and enjoy your travels! Love your videos ❤
I definitely understand the 90-7-3% rule. I do the same thing. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I'm loving your work and completely empathise with having to stop, to fix the gear, to fix the boat! Can be very frustrating. Our boat was hauled out for 4 months and I never even got the initial job done 😆 You're both a wonderful inspiration.
When faults fixes themselves you just know that the problem WILL happen again, just when you are in a position when the fault will be really bad or you cannot easily get the parts to fix it (or both).
Nearly finished demo? Looking forward to seeing the building.
Definitely top pick for cinematic experience and story telling! And adventuring and creative, well crap you guys rule at it all. Thank you for sharing!
Okay solar origami V2.0 looks way better than the 1.0 prototype. However it is still unclear how it's any better than done regular flat panels that concertina. Sail Life just has an extra set under their normal canopy that slide out to double their capacity.
Bulkhead...
I'm deeply curious to be in the room when Atticus Jordan views this episode!
🌊👁️🌊🌊🔧🌊🌊⚓🏴☠️⚓
The jig saw mechanism is called a Scottish yoke. Back in the day mechanical engineers actually made some Perry cool stuff!!
RV?
So now, because you are land "boondocking", in North America, you would be "homeless"!
It's actually gotta be a nice changeup for you from UMA. You can step "off the boat" and be walking any which way, no dinghy needed.
🐾🏝️🐾
Hey Kika!
Loved your bond girl skit!
Especially since you did it right in front of the Isola della Bocca Lighthouse. It looks so much like The Maidens tower Lighthouse in Istanbul. Which was made famous by the James Bond movie The World is not Enough.
Dan, don’t ever buy a Land Rover! You’ll never survive the intermittent what just happened did it fix itself will it happen again problems! Lol! 😒
Please quit mentioning how long you have been doing this stuff. I know I have been watching since you started and you are making me realize that I'm getting older.
Too late now.....but uh.....SAWZALL for DEMO!! Just sayin'.
Use your Honda generator
😀😀😀I really like your videos and the theme is totally my thing. But you talk so much. Everything you do is explained. Talk, talk and talk. Just show that you are working. But I like your ambition.
😅😂😅 Love the dish washing super model skit! Garden sprayer showers are the best. I take them frequently while 🏕 ⛺️ camping.
Hofstadter's law: everything takes twice as long as planned, even if you take Hofstadter's law into account.
(I hope I quoted him correctly)
I can't believe you are doing the Ecoflow Pro... I need some help. I just did my solar panels on the roof and with your knowledge of electric work... how would you advise going about connecting it directly to the 12v system? There is a plug for 12v 30amp but my concern is when you plug the RV/trailer direct and there is a charge going to the normal battery... this would obviously charge the Ecoflow as well (right?) and is this going to pose a problem? Would love a video of how you would go about this and what to consider. Thanks!
Same 1200VA Victron inverter here. They don't like jigsaws. Mine won't run on it either.
Film you thinking ? Hmmmm! Now that is where an A.I. would come in handy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Lol. Let us hope it never comes to that and yes most of what goes on can not be filmed because there are only the 2 of you and only so much you can do in a day and keep your sanity.. It will work out though ........ Ttfn
25:22 -- I can find no prices on this to be released "origami" panel. Do you know the full, expected retail price of the panels?
So that being said, I for one would not really believe it would be appropriate to compare a cheap panel to a panel that might be far more expensive.
The high quality Bluetti PV350 (350 Watts) panel will set one back about $800. What will be the price of the 300 Watt origami panel?
So to make a fair comparison of any panels, they should be at least in the same price point. Or it not, then to highlight the fact they are made in Italy, rather than some place like China. As some people may pay a little bit more if all other things were equal.
Hope this helps.
If I need to be recharged this is the place to do so you knock it out of the park every time all the time
Lol!!! All those jets, it’s kinda like being back in Atlanta, only without a beachfront view…. Or castles… or bunkers…
I loved this day in the life video. I'm still amazed that you're able to do the work while the boat is in the water. Great stuff. We'll definietly check out the solar origami since we are in the market for new panels on Neverland. You showed pictures of your editing. I'm wondering what software you use since most of your videos are done with GoPro. Thanks for answering if you have time. Keep up the RV/Boatlife.
On this week’s episode of this old boat. Picking your weapon like
Mortal combat
Old Uma Girl is gonna look amazing,, Your Both Really Cool Kids Too,, With alot of Pis an Vinaga!!!
Things I very much admire on your channel: 1) The chemistry between the two of you; 2) How you can deal w/ challenges in a lighter/positive way (at least on camera 🙂); 3) Your seeking of balance in all situations; 4) Your skills to get the job done; 5) The fact you are true partners and do all together... Note: One mystery I see you carry: How is Kika able to be so fit and muscled toned with the life away from the gym? 🤔😀 All the best to both. Stay strong, together and on the route you are.
Ewww. To say another person would look how YOU prefer if they lost or gained weight is just ICK. Keep it to yourself.
How uma went into the higher latuides is amazing 👍
Have you engaged an N.A to review the planned structural works (stiffing vs flex)
Hey Kika, It was great meeting you the other day through facetime with your Uncle Robert. Maybe we'll meet in person if you and Don visit Robert in the future.
Might be an "easy fix" at the jigsaw - but it was IMHO not necessary (if better constructed) and time consuming.
Dan, I think, your grease donation did a lot to the smooth operation after.
Get the Bikini Babe Dish Washing Wench Binocular Kiosk Concession on the ferry. Big Bucks when staffed with the camera double often seen on this channel. Please laugh. I hope there is nothing too serious in this video after this intro. Support our Van-Boating Cheers.
Okay in the 90% planning phase, not trying to be too critical here, but seems like you are throwing away 80% of the boat to fix a 20% problem. You guys are to be commended on taking a slip sailor and making it a blue water boat. How do you stay so upbeat!
