I’m sorry. It’s as boring the second time as it was the first time. I really miss when this channel was about a beautiful couple traveling to beautiful places and doing fun things. How many years has it been since it was like that? Feels like five to me. Has it been worth five years of your lives to be struggling for so long? Those are a lot of your prime years covered in fiber glass shards. I know you’re in it now, there’s no backing out, you can’t really sell a partially completed boat too easily. But I hope when you’re done with this project in a few years that you are able to put on a brave face and conclude that it wasn’t worth it. I’ve not watched you much in several years and you used to be a favorite. I don’t think I’ve been able to stomach an entire episode in four years, and rarely try to watch any. I just see the thumbnail of your video, sigh and remember better days and hope this will end someday. I wish you had bought a completed boat, even if it was half the boat you hope this one to be. Meanwhile, I still like you two, and I’ll be waiting in the background for the day when you’re doing fun things again. It’s just been very sad to witness this needless drudgery. It’s a complete negation of the lifestyle you had been pursuing.

Love it- Wasl wondering- would you ever put cat access doors or cat tunnels. Just though how fun it might be to have little cat portals in the doors. The Chief Mate Cat needs access to the whole ship for security inspections and rodent patrol.. LOL instead of calling them cat portals- we could call them air transfer vents. LOL

Yay! We all enjoyed the years of episodes of fiberglassing and fairing so much that we all get to see it again.

Great !! 👍👍👍👍👍

What did we just watch? It's like watching paint dry in reverse. 😂 Go Brandon!

Love what you guys are doing, but cringe at spraying primer inside an enclosed space. Rolling on primer is faster fils more pinholes and saves material. And for the love of god use a real orbital sander like the Mirka or the 3 M one using cubitron paper , you would save months.

Great video, things are moving and coming together.

Very challenging tasks but your determination, patience and resilience will bring you there. Love it! ❤

Have you thought about liking up with Aquaholic for a session!

You are both doing so well amazing progress now like with home building looks as if the boat is at the weather proof stage ie foundations done, exterior walls done, windows filled and roof on. Keep going hope 🐈 is doing OK.

I couldn't do it. I tried, but I ended up fast forwarding to your comments at the end. I felt for you having to watch it again so you could make this episode. I love where you are today. Sounds like we'll see you in maybe a couple weeks. Cool. Stay safe. ❤🙏

It just amazes and astounds me what you are doing by building this boat yourselves 👍👍👍 You must do one of these time-lapse videos from start to finish when you have completed the boat .... speechless for what you are doing.

Well, that was fun. Of course, I was not doing the work. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving.

Why are we only seeing old crap lately? I don’t wanna watch things I saw over and over year ago…. Money grab much 🙄

Keep at it ! Your reward is closer by the day !!

Jess should have a PhD in boat yoga now. 💪

Closer than further.

you guys have gotten so far

I'm pretty sure you could teach a master class in fairing at this point, such beautiful work!

For those of us that follow your channel, most of this has been just a rehash. The daggerboard was a huge project finished months ago when you were still in the enclosed shelter. We're looking for new content, not the content of the last year we can recap from looking at the videos. It's been a month a month to post a video just to post a video that doesn't help us viewers. We really want to stay interested in your project but you're not making it very amenable . If you haven't done anything in the last month just post up a note that way none of us are led into a video to find out that we get to watch what we've already watched. By the way did we really need a luggage commercial.

Why don't you just change your channel into a live stream. That way we can actually watch you work in Jessica. You don't have to narrate so much. Then we'd be able to see you actually working and not walking around the boat yard with all the other boats we're not here for the video quality of anything other than your project.

"If I knew now what I knew then..." Jessica, how much faster do you think you do the fairing now compared to when you were starting out?

Amazing! Hardest working couple on youtube 👍

That was a great video! Good pace, mix of work and accomplishment.

What a thrill when you have a favorite thing and an achievable goal. I am delighted with the result! Well done!

It’s unfortunate that you don’t have some method to fair the flat panel surfaces(except the bonding surfaces) before installing in place. I would think that would have saved considerable finishing time.

Im feeling tired and I only watched! Lol

While I have enjoyed the sanding, faring, etc., I'm really looking forward to the installation of the wires, equipment, and fixtures.

hi i love your vlogs been watching for years , have you got a timeline for the boat build.

Ugggg why do yall do time laps of what we have already watched? Why not do one of what you have done over the past 6 months....oh that's right there wouldn't be much of a video.

WOW! What a great episode! I loved the fast get it done pace. That was amazing all that work done in one show. Thank you for sharing 🙂

An enormous amount of fiberglass construction and surface preparation. All well done too. Congrats on everything you've done to date..

I ❤ this shit give me more. you guys are doing an amazing job👍🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

I love your videos! Question for you... As a "rule of thumb," do y'all measure (tolerance wise) to the 1/8", 1/16", 1/32", or 1/64"? Just wondering how tight the fiberglass sections have to be. Just as an aside - I was born and raised in the Chesapeake Bay area. I was a member of CBYRA and CYC. I used to race in many of the local and Chesapeake Bay area regattas. Mom and Dad's home was right on the Choptank and my bedroom faced the bay - what a blast living there! Sailing and Windsurfing all day long. Only thing I don't miss were those "wet-cold" winters! Buuuurrrr! LOL!

Your precision design, craftsmanship and attention to detail is hard to believe. You haven't compromised, and it's taken a lot more time, but you're building one hell of a nice boat!

I think it must be nice for you to look at these timelapse videos. Because while it must feel frustrating to you how long it has taken, when you look at this video you can also see *how much work you have done!* Looking forward to the fitting out, the launch, and the upcoming travel adventures. But it's also been a lot of fun to follow this massive project that you took on yourselves!!!

I can't wait until you guys have no more videos with green in them !!! lol

Great vid keep up the great work.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a cool episode! Knowing how much that work must have been, but then again it must have been 10x the amount of work I can even imagine. This is amazing to see. Thank you for sharing!

Lithium ascorbate helps you relax with Normotim.

When I watched that video when you were on Elements in Sutton Harbour, Plymouth, where you told us about the self build you were going to embark upon………………………. And now there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Well done Matt and Jessica. You’ve come a long way since we met during lockdown in little Noss Mayo, Devon. Can’t wait to see you back on the water.

Stunning!

Pulled the trigger recently on my own kit build, an aluminum landing craft by Specmar. Got word last week that the parts are cut, so now I wait for it to be barged to Alaska. It's going to be a big project but at least not of the magnitude that you guys have taken on. And no fairing!

I love your kitty cat.

Awesome montage of all your amazing work. Crazy cool.

Wow, this was a amazing video. You guys make it look so easy on the refit. Rebuilt. Lol.

What happened to all the names you had on the inside of the hull?

WOW.. 20k views and only 2k likes.. Come on people.. click the thumbs up.. it helps the channel :)

I bet making this episode helped you guys remember how much you have accomplished, as it did for those of us that watch every week...
