We would like to wish Yulian the very best success in fighting this cancer and will pray for him. There has been a Go Fund Me setup to support him and his family.

[@unnikrishnan31]

I always watching all these boat projects.... but i think one project i missing here... " odd life crafting by duca and roberta... its very nice

[@martinbeaumont1135]

Yes well said, and now Sailing Yaba too.

[@nodirectionhome308]

No Sail Life? Thats the best one!

[@dawnrowe7592]

Who ever made this list doesn't know what they are doing, Oh glorious sanding.

[@Sailor_Greg]

What about Sail Life?? That's the grand-daddy of meticulous restoration.

[@PuntBamaPunt1972]

Yeah, the list is BS if Sail Life isn't on it.

[@spikeafrican8797]

Definately... Mads is co-king along with Leo at Sampson Boat Co.

[@thedowd1414]

Sail life. Sampson Boat Co (Tallyho). Acorn to Arabella. Life on the hulls.

[@MrLebro11]

Brilliant series! Leo...what a master craftsman.

[@tyroneshulace3203]

Not sure how they missed Sailcargo SV Cieba and Restoring Rosalind as well as Knott Finished

[@patrickwentz8413]

Zora is excellent and one of my favorite channels. Sailbros is awesome as well. Neither of these two channels post very often.

[@sailingavocet]

Sailbros are fixing up a Cheoy Lee just like us!

[@shanevillis4079]

Please don't forget Salt & Tar...... the guys are doing a great job on their wooden boat build.

[@Einungbrekke]

The Sail Life channels has to be on a list like this. He have a lot of subs and he is refitting his boat from scratch and making new interior. Great channel. A lot of doohickeys ;)

[@marciaweilenman3086]

Glad to see some of these - I love the refits! I will also add these suggestions: SAIL LIFE, ODD LIFE CRAFTING, BUMS ON A BOAT, LADY AFRICA, ATOM VOYAGER, the early videos of BEAU & BRANDY, the early videos of ONBOARD LIFESTYLE, the earlier videos of MJ SAILING, on & off work of JESSICA & RYAN, updates just done by FREE RANGE SAILING.

[@SailingMarieholmIF]

Just found this channel. Very nice.

[@cecilpacetti1491]

You might look at Salt and Tar. Those 2 crazy kids are building a 35' ketch from scratch.

[@sailingavocet]

how the HECK did we miss this?! Thank you for including us!

[@jasonburke7031]

Another one for Sailing Melody. Old steel boat a family are restoring.

[@binster691]

Sailing Uma got me into watching these channels. Definitely my favourite.

[@johnp1]

Sam Holmes Sailing always has new projects. I like the way he uses 3D printing to make his own parts.

[@jeffdege4786]

What, no Mads?

[@SailingChannels]

Jeff Dege Mads?

[@jeffdege4786]

@@SailingChannels Mads of the "Sail Life" channel

[@jens5934]

That’s what I was thinking. Pound for pound the best there is. SailLife

[@nodirectionhome308]

Yes, I'm not knocking any of the folks on this list, I watch most of them, and I totally understand you couldn't list them all, but when it come to boat restoration...Sail Life is the best.

[@jimr6281]

I just discovered Sailing Melody which is an interesting channel - nice family. Also, if you are into building wooden boats from scratch, I recommend Acorn to Arabella and SV Tapatya (in addition to Sampson Boat Co. which was mentioned above.)

[@AllMyHobbies]

how could you not put the king saillife and the number 2 sv seeker

[@haywood12]

This video does not contain the spiffmaster from sail life

[@lydiaajohnson]

I really liked the top 40 sailing channel videos, but this one missed the mark. There was NO mention of probably the MOST popular project boat channel of all time: Sail Life with Mads in Denmark. Then there’s Acorn to Arabella, Sampson Boats restoring Tally Ho. Those two channels are huge. What about Odd Life Crafting, Sailing Melody, Free Range Sailing, Onboard Lifestyle, Project Brupeg, Sailing Lady Africa, Life on the Hulls, and SV Seeker? None of the projects in this video come close to the channels just listed. I think a redo may be in order that is if you’re really talking about “addictive” boat refit channels. Sorry to any other good ones I missed.

[@jeworthy]

Enjoyed seeing the passion and enterprise of these aspiring sailors but I can't believe you didn't include Sail Life and Odd Life Crafting. Talk about passion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. If you aren't familiar, you should check them out.

[@howardrich9355]

This was one of the best sailboat videos yet! Hope to see more!

[@martinbeaumont1135]

I’m a sucker for a catamaran restoration and the guys over at Barefoot Sail and Dive are doing a good job, Bryan Sailing is another although slow episodes, Gone with the Wynns did a nice job not too much to do but love their channel and finally Life on the Hulls is really starting at the beginning with only the moulds to start with.

[@bluestacks3010]

MJ Sailing is another good one. They're about to start a 2 year kit catamaran build (Max Cruise 42).

[@jimmcdonald9244]

You missed Sail Life. Mads was DIYing boats before it became a thing, and he's still at it.

[@BreakingWavesSailing]

Glad to see Alma in there!

[@SailingChannels]

Breaking Waves Sailing I agree and really wishing them the best as they deal with horrible news. Cancer sucks.

[@BarefootTravels]

Have you checked us out yet? Barefoot sail and dive! We are restoring a hurricane damaged FP Mahe 36!

[@jimr6281]

Oh, I also recommend Travels with Geordie and Dangar Marine - two more great channels.

[@stephenmurray9850]

Living with the tide.. rebuilding an 1905 wooden Yacht built in Scotland. Not expected to relaunch it until 2022 I think.. totally gutted the boat. MJ sailing when they were working on their alloy yacht which they then sailed from USA to Norway and England ( now sold to someone else) AND of course Free Range Sailing now rebuilding their Clansman 30 sailing boat.

[@Offutticus]

For a totally rebuilt wooden boat, check out the Tally-Ho with the Samson Boat Co. I will never sail but I have learned so much from him.

[@BryanSailing]

Next time add my channel to the list if you think it qualifies - thanks

[@never2oldadventures]

I subscribe to most all of these channels. Imagine that? Until our adventures cross, fair winds and full sails ⛵

[@rexsheldon1042]

In my opinion the top three are sampson boat co ( tally Ho) , acorn to arabella, and the king, Mads at sail life. How did you miss them?

[@WillN2Go1]

I'm an old DIYer but I'm seriously burned out. There are a few boat projects (none of the ones here) that I just had to look away. Ever see Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Spinoli (Sean Penn) and his buddy total his buddy's brother's Camero. Spinoli says, "I know this guy he's a got a lot tools and stuff.... We can fix it!" Expedition Evans almost seemed hopeless a few months ago, but they're well worth watching. I think they did about 15 videos of thankless scraping and grinding. It's almost Spinoli level madness - but they kept at it and now I think they'll have one of the best safest boats on the ocean. They started knowing not much at all and ended up doing a great job. It'll definitely be the safest Beneteau. When I saw what they had to fix I vowed never to be on a Beneteau out of swimming distance to dry land or another boat. I think their channel is worth watching by anyone with a monohull. Every boat has grounded or will ground, it shouldn't kill the boat or make it too dangerous to take to sea, and yet..... (Some told me about sacrificial keel padding that will take the strike, absorb the impact keeping the keel from that fatal yank on the frame. Like airbags in cars, it's obvious... now.)

[@skylords2608]

I like Sailing Soulianis as well. I think they fit into this group. Thanks for posting this. I have not come across some of the ones mentioned.

[@markbuskens6070]

Not a project boat channel,I liked Soulianis but they are not as good since becoming parents.But no on project boat channel 😮

[@williamoorejr]

the new ones- "ship happens" and +Sailing Yaba"==

[@immostlyharmless]

It will be interesting to see where Atticus goes (they are making a very significant boat upgrade). While all boats always have some projects, it seems like the focus of their channel will change.

[@SailingChannels]

Jordan said the new boat will require a bit of work although you’re right. I assume they’ll turn more into just a sailing channel which will also be good. Lots of places still to explore.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Atticus sold that boat after 5+ years of upgrading and maintenance projects. Just maintaining a boat that is already in good condition is a load of work, Fixing and maintaining a boat that perhaps should go to the scrap yard Is beyond the capacity of most.

[@Draconisrex1]

No Sail Life?

[@bobhamilton298]

Did you guys research this? Sail Life is probably number one and certainly the best known. Odd Life Crafting is huge these days. The Bums and Lady Africa are way better than lots of these. SV Seeker, Sampson Boat, ever hear of those? Geeze!

[@Knoklsnedkr]

Sail Life ?!

[@dennybarlau8065]

When are you going to feature Sv Seeker he's launching in August

[@SailingChannels]

He’s number 11 on my next top forty compilation. Love what he’s doing

[@dennybarlau8065]

[@skippyone2769]

I liked the exp Evans vlog but i am sorry i hated the girl ... Its her voice sounded like a chipmunk ! I had to turn the sound off. My fave is Sail Life ... You can do anything with a dohickie and some oh glorious sanding.

[@SailingChannels]

I agree about Sail Life! As for Evans, try playing the KZbin video at half speed, she doesn’t sound as much like she’s been using helium. That said, their trial and error story is really compelling and I’m surprised they’ve gotten as far as they have- lots of respect

[@markbuskens6070]

Hate the piano music adds nothing to your good videos ☹️sounds like music at someone’s funerals…sad and depressing 😮
