£2000 Yacht TIMELAPSE TRANSFORMATION - 16months in minutes #76

Timelapse of the entire project to date, right from the very start with lots of never before seen footage.

We want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way and here are the links if you'd like to help us out at all on this amazing journey.

Noooo cutter rig

[@Heimrik01]

Hello from France, may I ask, where is this located ? So how far is the restoration now ? How much money and time did you spent on it until now ?

[@luckent47]

a lot of people think theyre too lazy and too stupid to try and do something like this. but what they really are is uninspired and lonely. watching you all get together and do this is very inspiring and motivating. its a great model to emulate: working together with a goal and keeping each other going. thank you for sharing it. youre doing a lot more than just fixing a yacht, youre demonstrating love and teamwork. its a lovely melody.

[@swanhamilton9106]

Speak for your self. The lonely ppl are watching this video right now 😜

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@Shane888 Davies Boats are a financial disaster though despite all the other good things. Just bottomless money pits, so you can talk the talk, but you also need a good disposable income, or a decent capital sum you don't mind losing.

[@chrisc395]

Damn...after all these years of thinking I was lazy and stupid when in fact I'm just uninspired and lonely. Thank you Mr. Wizard for such a profound statement.

[@BotanyDegreePilkerton]

lol right haha we are just uninspired and lonely hee hee all of us ha ha

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@Shane888 Davies Everything. It's very easy to eulogise about the pleasures and benefits of fixing up a boat. Or to label people as lazy, stupid, or uninspired for not doing so. But probably the most important reason people don't is they don't have wads of cash or bottomless pockets. It's not even much of an investment because, such is power of the ocean, it will all need doing again in 10 years time.

[@Dragoninja833]

Your wife is a gem! Where do I get one like that? It was super nice of her to let you help her restore the boat!

[@notwocdivad]

I was wondering when you look back at the boat before you started do you ever think "We must have been crazy"? Well I for one am pleased you did! You three have entertained, amused and at times amazed me with your endeavours. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with you all! Roll on 2022 and more SAILING MELODY! Thankyou.

[@3in1Machining]

Andy...What an achievement, and such a supportive Wife and Son you have. You and your family are going to know your boat inside and out and when you set sail, moreover you will have the technical ability to repair anything whilst at sea. Follow your dreams, your doing the right thing. A new subscriber..

[@daveedwards4114]

Well done! A beautiful memory you have all contributed to for years to come

[@khaledhajj6202]

Amazing work. Very professional job you have done. Never expected that an old boat like that can be rebuilt. Wonderfull family, especially the wife and kid. God bless you all, and have safe sailing trips. I can't wait to see the finished boat.

[@SailingMelody]

Hey! Thanks so much for your lovely support and kind words. We’re still just blown away that people find us entertaining and want to watch our videos 😊😂

[@peps1965]

Dad was a fisherman for 50 years, and owned his last boat for 25 years. In that time she underwent several transformations, a fair few gallons of paint and tons of loving! The video was wonderful to watch and I wish you and your family well in your amazing adventure!

[@timothymorrell4023]

To me the BEST part of this whole thing is that the quality time spent with your family will be the lasting memories long after the boat is gone.

You and the family are absolute beasts!!! What a fantastic job!!!! Your son will remember this for his whole life.

[@wantuilferreiradesouzajuni3106]

Super sensational! I'm Captain Wantuil and I'm also a doctor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In my spare time I also renovate boats and build schooners in the State of Bahia. Congratulations to the three of you for your effort and dedication in bringing this wonderful boat back to life.

Wonderful seeing that young man earning his time on the boat and supporting his family!! Well done young man!!!

I'm absolutely amazed at how wonderfully you worked together as a team. I am shocked that you are so ingenious and dedicated. Happy sailing...

We are in the middle of renovating our fibreglass catamaran. So to see your whole family working on a refit of epic proportions is magic! Mad respect from a couple in Western Australia!

[@Ardnek73]

What an incredible family you have. I can not imagine my wife bucking up and doing half the work that yours has done. My respects to all of you from a fellow Captain (all oceans). I look forward to following you to your launch day. Good luck!

[@barryrudge1576]

I admire the fact that the whole family got stuck into what can only be described as rescuing a boat that was really only fit for the scrap yard. Lots of dedicated hard work so far and much more to do and a family who will have a wonderful seaworthy craft to enjoy when completing their hard work. Congratulations on what you have achieved so far.

[@normanboyes4983]

It is only by seeing this in retrospect can one only fully appreciate the scale of the project you have so bravely undertaken. It is this retrospect that so ably demonstrates both your teamwork and the the considerable progress you have made in such a relatively short time. Well done and thank you for sharing. 😀👍⛵️

Hats off to all of you. So few people have the skills or the will to take on this kind of project these days. You’ve saved a boat. Happy sailing folks - you deserve fair winds.

[@steveanton763]

What do you mean these days? Are less people fixing up boats than they used to? Was there a time when taking on this kind of project was more common? We have KZbin and chat rooms to help with and inspire these kinds of projects.

[@marcushutton5273]

@@steveanton763s very much. As a kid in the 70s men like my dad (we had small cruisers and dinghies ), lots of people, had light engineering skills and weren’t afraid to turn a piece of metal on a lathe, do some carpentry, varnishing, engine mechanics. wiring etc Of course there are people like you who still can but not so many in the general population. I’m also UK based where most people don’t have the time or space for hobbies any more and/or just haven’t learnt. In the US it seems more common as a lot of folk have been in the military and have practical skills and there’s more light industry - so transferable skills. And perhaps a bit more disposable income to tinker.

[@the_grand_tourer]

Wow! Makes my looking after my fathers self built steel 10m sailing boat seem like a cake walk. Great determination and a lot of hard work, well done to the whole family.
