Great job on the hatch and it looks like a complete job apart from gel coat which I guess you need warmer weather as for the old man of the sea much improved lol 😂you all look to be wintering well 😊

maybe call the auto pilot "Auntie" lol

Very handy couple ...

Sir, please cheek

One good clip deserves another ! Cheers !

Dear Sailing Melody family. 👍👌👏 2) Thank you for the extended tour of the interior. You've come quite far since you bought the derelict boat. Especially Jack's wonderful cabin is a masterpiece. By the way: This very well educated decent boy has grown into a young man (including the voice). I guess that the little and kind of cute marine washing machine will almost run non stop while you're underway. You own an impressive array of electric power storage devices. Congratulations 🎉 ! All the new wiring is done very professional and the engine room looks very tidy too. It was a beasty job to do all that in this limited space. By the way: The only thing that I would miss is a full size shower (because I'm a rather tall/big guy). Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all four of you.

Once again another episode.Your guitar tracks are brilliant have you ever considered releasing any of your material?👍

Men’s guide to cutting women’s hair: 1, make her wear a horizontally striped top 2, wet the hair and comb down the back 3, choose which stripe on the back is the suitable length 4, cut along the stripe (maybe use a spirit level to make sure the stripes are straight) easy!

You can recut a spinnaker but it will make a lousy asymmetric. Mark the midline between the head and the foot. Gather from each side of centre to take the fullness of the symmetric out. Stitch it with a sewing machine. Dont cut the sail until you try it out and are happy with it. It may still be too full in which case flying it on a close reach will be useless. Generally you lose the benefit of a genuine asymmetric. They really don't work as well as a symmetric on a pole with the wind aft of the beam. I think you are better either keeping it to use as a spinnaker or selling it and getting an asymmetric or a code zero. A cut down spinnaker will never get the same shape as an asymmetric and will have much more limited angle of use as it will still be too full in shape to set on a reach. Given your limited family crew a roller reefed cutter rig and twin poles would be a better and steadier more balanced off wind solution with much lighter sheet loads than spinnakers, code zeros or asymmetric. Best of wishes to you all from N Wales. N.B.Sorry to see no visible change to Steel Melody in P. Penryn since your sale.

Nice work and nice haircut 😃

Ollie is soooooo cute!

Dear Melissa, Andy, Oliver and captain Jack, Nice job is done by Andy to let the entrance hedge of Ocean Melody running as on a new boat. Melissa seems to be a great hairdresser. The most impressive part of this vlog was to see how clever and cute Oliver is. Willeke and I look forward to your next vlog and send you love from The Netherlands

0:50 could the reason you need advice with your sail is you don’t have a clew what to do???

Is there anything you can't do?!! I was upside down behind the engine yesterday wondering how to get the prop shaft nut back on, eventually got it moving with the help of a thread file that, after some time, gradually sorted out the damaged thread on the very end of the prop shaft. I wouldn't have managed it without such a wealth of information available from You Tubers like you. Makes you think! The first time I used You Tube to show me how to do something was when I needed to replace a guitar string. Just trying to point out (badly) that what you are doing is of great value.

Nylon chopping board can make great runners. Not a lot of friction. Find one thick enough and cut into strips.

Nice hair cut on Andy, but adding the flea powder might have been a bit too much. Gold star too, for not blaming Ollie.

I've paid for worse hair cuts and hate going to the barbers so would be happy to get a free trim.

Thanks guys! 😊

😊

The work never stops with a boat 😞

If you do cut her hair, don't do a number 1 all over 😮

It’s so rewarding to see a true craftsman at work. Great job as usual, Andy!

Woof Woof. did you at least get a bone to chew on after the cut. lol

A woman of many talents ❤

Saving money on Andy's hair cut is one thing. Now let us see Andy saving money on Melissa's Hairdoo.

An asymmetrical kite isn’t just a symmetrical with one luff shorter it has an asymmetrical profile as well, like a jib. But for cruising I suppose whatever works. Cheers

house keeping is no fun but it has to be done.

If you sit tight you might get a cookie !!

Asymmetrical with an ATN sock makes it easier for two on a boat your size

I love this kind of boat project…seeing a feature repaired, clean and shiny. Great work Andy. Melissa too! Two handsome guys!

Great Cuts Mel, Ollie is precious

Your so amazing!! Were refitting our 65' power catamaran too, and its so exciting to see others doing such big projects. It feels great to be part of this community!

Hair cuts look great! Now just trim Andy’s beard!

Please do not lay a finger on Melissa’s hair! It’s gorgeous just the way it is. She did an awesome job on your hair, Andy. 😎🤗🥰❤️👍

I think that being a subscriber we should get the same videos as those who can get extra content for a few quid not saying the same week it makes me feel it’s not fare because they can afford it and a lot like me don’t have money to throw about can’t afford it through no fault of my own.❤

Nice job repairing the hatch! And yes, would absolutely love to see Andy cut Melissa's hair!

Cameras are scary because they reveal the gross incompetence of our public employees

Used conveyor belting. !

Andy can you replace those wood blocks in future with some PTFE plastic bearing blocks ... They wont be effected by water heat or freezing .. 🧙🏼‍♂️🫶🏻 to the family.

Good job, Melissa‼️

Andy, don't you dare cur M's hair!

your not alone with the error of not wearing eye and mask protection whenever using rotary tools, please protect lungs and eyes for the kids sake. I am amazed how none workshop trained trade practitioner's seem to think non protection is ok.

I'm not letting you near my dog, Melissa 😂😅😂🎉 xxxxx

😂😂😂😂 youll know who watched it all the way to the end. Love that you left that in. Ollies very cute too.

I want to see Ollie cut Melissa's hair. Tee Hee.

Nice video Andy lots of little décor types fix it stuff you're doing. About the haircut Andy, you were a good dog woof woof, OLI looks like a clean-cut little man great job Melissa. And definitely would be GREAT!!! Having Andy cut Melissa's hair. Absolutely has to be done and a video of it also. LOL catch you next video cheers

Hey guys, I have watched you since very early on. My honest opinion is keep the boat or maybe do some short hop stuff. It's a dangerous place out there at times. The thought of being responsible for you family including two young kids is massive. You seem to be quite easily stressed Andy. Just my thoughts. Cheers.

The Old Dog looks good after his haircut!!

Andy sempre bravissimo
