Looking forward ro further episodes!

Have to love how youtube audio codecs mess up a video lol.

Just found your channel. The Alberg 30 is my dream boat. Thank you so much for posting this video! I must have watched it ten times today imagining I was working on my imaginary alberg 30 lol. Youre doing a great job!!!!

I HAD expected a boat re-building video....not 90% vocal & 10 % ctual boat work....

goddamn guy take a rectangular piece of wood or something else rigid and wrap your sanding paper arpund it, its more effective at not killing your finger joints and applying pressure

Talk about luck...

Looks so freaking GOOD!!

Nice result! There is no better source of endorphin as doing your bright work :-)

This should be a nice long video series.

Boat Yoga is a thing. You will need sail covers, and ideally a furler. If you don't have a furler, you will need a jib and storm jib if you do the hank on route. If you go blue water you will need to be able to have a double reefed main too. If you plan on solo sailing than some sort of lazy jack and stack pack for the mainsail is almost essential. On the electrics you will need 2 systems 1 for 12 volt and one for AC. 1 for breakers switches, etc. I recommend getting the bible for boats which is Nigel Caulder's Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual, Chapman's or Annapolis book on Seamanship, and Don Casey's boat maintenance is also good. Worth getting for sure!

A couple of things; Pressurized alcohol stoves explode. Those are not really made anymore. Traditional alcohol stoves which use a canister system are fine for weekend sailing provided you understand the dangers of alcohol. They do make small gimballed stoves that utilize the small LPG cannisters and can cook one pot. Those are fine too. True LPG systems have regulations around their installation that really must be heeded for safety. LPG is heavier than air and thus can cause a boat to explode if not done properly. Alberg 30s are tanks. Slow and strong. I would check out Sail Life's You Tube channel as Mads is an expert at refits and resurrecting's boats. There probably is a way to switch to a outboard, but if you want to sail far you will need an engine wit plenty of fuel. When your boat was built, it was designed for the engine to be something to get you to and from the dock, not really crossing from Florida to the Bahamas if needed. A new and reliable engine will cost you, but I consider it essential safety equipment. First thing is to make the boat dry, Get a moisture meter, go to the boat in a heavy rain and look for leaks. Windows need butyl tape and/or silicone. It is one of the few places on the boat you want to use silicon. Lastly, if you want to learn sailing fast, racers always need deck monkey's and crew. Volunteer for Wed night beer can racing. It is a great way to learn as racers will push their boats and you will gain a quick understanding of how things work on a boat, what they are capable of, and prepare you for difficult conditions.

glad you are ok saludos

free is not necessarily god , before you sink money into it, do an real analyzes and compeer with other boats ready to sail. congratulations you got a plan , saludos

Interesting, Great opportunity!

5:15 Alcohol stoves are really great! It takes very little fuel, I could cook for 6 weeks on a liter of Bio Ethanol 96%. If you do not want it, it sells for twice the price as new if it is in good condition. Certification killed the company that made them. Ironically they are much, much safer then (certified) gas stoves! If you are really stupid you can set your boat on fire, but an explosion is impossible. The vapor does not burn quick enough and contains only half the energy as LPG or Gasoline does.

You're from NY? I am too. What part?

Handed fairleads

jesus, stay safe <3

No worries 👍

Good luck, no fear, good vibes. I'm also looking for a free sailboat. I am from Portugal

Dont want to scare you but just a mainsail for that boat will cost you about 3k. Jib will cost more. From what i can see, you'll be spending 30k for the refit if you have the proper knowledge to perform the work yourself.

Instead of using screwdrivers on your hoseclamps, use a nutdriver. You'll get your clamps much tighter and its way easier to use.

The plugs drained!

That is not a “priming port” diagram pumps don’t need priming, originally the handle would have come up through that deck plate. Why some idiot installed it upside down like that is beyond me lol

Alcohol is one of then safest stoves you can have, propane can be very dangerous on a boat.

It’s a beautiful boat!

Audio sounded better before the YT upload not sure what happened there ill have to look into it! Thank for watching everyone

**Bilging intensifies**

Jump scare

*dead bug noises*

i mean dont get me wrong, i wish you succeed, but talking about patrion as soon as you put your first video feels scummy

havent done diddly squat and already asking for money, huh

Since you are not on the water, the water in your bilge is probably not coming from the cockpit through holes, unless the bilge pipes are clogged. Have you done a thorough deck inspection? Look for soft or rotten deck areas. Water ingress can be from hull to deck joints, check the hull to deck joint fasteners. It would do you well to stay on board during a heavy rain. You are going to need a larger bilge pump. You are indeed fortunate in that bees do not live on the high seas, so you will be safe there.

First ❤😂

If there is a sailing club near you it could be well worth seeing if anyone is looking for crew for a season, get a feel for sailing and whether you enjoy it.

Good you have cheap storage at your dad's place. A working inboard would be essential if you are learning to sail. Take your time to assess the condition of the balsa-cored deck before throwing too much effort and money in. If the deck is OK, the basics like the watertightness of the hull to deck joint, condition of throughulls, chainplates, condition of bulkhead tabbing to the hull (there has been water in the boat)and condition of the rudder (these can fail on the alberg 30) worth checking out before going anywhere near the water. engine and sterngear are more expensive undertakings once the basics of the hull and structure are ok. A wind scoop over the forehatch to suck hot air out will cool things off. Propane and gasoline both really dangerous in boats. Study up on what is required of those installations to minimize the chance of exploding the project and yourself. Don't rush into interior fitout either until you are satisfied that the bones really are good.

make it water tight and safe and move into it and save up money from rent to fix it

Alcohol is very good thing to us. Propane is not a good fuel to use. It can explode. Solo will not run a electric stove for very long.

Don't walk away......RUN

What state are you in ,im in Maine and my boat will be finished by next spring . Maybe we can joust lol

Left is a four letter word. Port is a four letter word. Right is a longer word (as is starboard).

Toss up as to whether he was refitting the engine but needed to move the boat so made it water-tight, or he was also planning an outboard but refitting the engine to sell on? This should be fun tho - you planning on showing this on twitch or keeping yt/twitch separate?

Do you have a bottom less pit of money mate😂

You should put your camera on a tripod. Watching your clip made me seasick on my sofa. That never happened before.

start small bro, and stay small for a good while.
