Hi, Brian I’m Pat living in Naples, Fl. Sailed here from Massachusetts on my 27’ sail boat in 1997. Love what you are talking on, and wish I could help, but at 79 I’m getting tired. Will follow you throughout your rebuild. I know you got this. Just time, and money. Soon you will be living your dream, sailing the World. Thanks for letting us be part of your dream 🤙

Bryan Sailing if I wasnt in San Diego California and was down in Florida instead, I’d be down for helping you work on your boat. My dream is to do exactly what you’re doing buying a project damaged cat since I’m not rich.. there are a lot of people out there with the same goal as us and that’s why I think you should keep up with your videos because it will only grow in popularity and inspire/help a lot of people that have the same dream. I know that you’ve said you’re doing a “cost” video and I think that is great and you would love to see a video of the buying process with some information on how you found the boat and talking through the details of buying it.

[@cavebugboy207]

[@jiefflerenard1228]

keep doing what you do , I like the video and obviously you got the skill for the repairs. A tip: Sometime anchors get stuck and wedged and only pull out backward.For that you slide a weighted or metal loop all the way down while keeping a bit of tension on the chain then pull backward with your dingy or something more powerful .

[@BryanSailing]

Good tip.

Also, on the gear you got stolen. Check ebay for it. My company found folks selling stolen airplane avionics and instruments that way and was able to recover some. Great video!

The scam was only $60, so not super worried about it, it was more the fact that it happened. The theft was a much bigger financial loss and that sound good I'll keep an eye on ebay.

You can do it for a lot less than you think, especially if you are OK with a mono or a boat smaller than 44 feet. I'll have a video coming up that talks about cost soon.

[@TairnKA]

I'm curious if you were allowed to do any customising of your boat with any of the parts from the boat that had been upside down on top of your boat? ;-)

[@BryanSailing]

My boat was customized with a few extra openings by that boat. ⛵💥, That boat is being rebuilt by my new friend Ben ( I only met him after we bought the boats). In episode #3 you can see it being towed behind my boat.

[@TairnKA]

I thought I'd seen a separated section of cabin roof that could be used as a hard cover over the open decking (where the wheel[s]) are? I guess he will need that piece? ;-)

Will do. Working on the next videos now.

[@tomharrell1954]

There you go!!! You got it!! Question when you put the engine in you do know it has to be aligned. The coupling on the engine and the coupling on the drive shaft must be aligned with in 3 thousandths. It should be checked after the boat in backing the water if done on land. If misaligned the transmission will be damaged.

[@BryanSailing]

Yep I aligned them, It does have the flex coupling which gives you a bit more tolerance to misalignment, but they still need to be aligned.

Hi Brian . Just checking in on you to see how your doing. Maybe you might want to check out Parley channel. And Barefoot sailing and dive. And 9 to 5less. They have have either old boats or hurricane damaged boats that they have or are working on fixing up. There are all sorts of people out there that will tell you that you're crazy and you're nuts to take on a project like this. About this boat is not worth fixing and that it's all a piece of garbage. And if you look at it they may be right. But that isn't the point is it. You have a dream to own a boat to sail Bluewater, sail around the world. That's your dream. And maybe you can't afford to do that right now. But I know for sure that if you stick to it your channel will grow especially if you can get the news out now that you're beginning this project people love to see this type of stuff. Barefoot sailing and dive just are in the process of building a new. binnimmie for their boat. Parley is finished and is sailing . They have a very extensive video collection on how they did it . All sorts of advice on both those channels. 9to5less are a couple that will give you the encuragement. They have this old boat and are on their way to Florida. My point is don't let none believers ruin YOUR dream . Plus from what I've noticed . Your Mother believes in you. Ask her to video for you while your doing the projects. I think she'll be proud to help when she can . My advice to you is to believe in the people that believe in you. Like 9to5less said. Out of all the people watching you 50,% want you succeed. Ill add to that by saying you've got to make fools of the other 50%. You will always have haters. People that are to afraid to try things for them selves. You've got my vote to succeed.

[@wanderinginsweden]

now, being a smart ass (and sailing for about four decades) I have to ask... Is that mast SUPPOSED to have a curve int he top of it?

[@BryanSailing]

that's funny. I would say bending the mast is how we fine tune the sails for racing, but the unfortunately my new mast won't have that feature. lol

[@fooman2108]

I do apologize, I started sailing in the North Bay of San Francisco (at 12, and the NorthBay will teach you limits of your skills and gear in a HURRY!, and one of my first jobs was a mast-man/rigger in a boat-yard (hanging/rigging masts) and have more than a few boat owners show up and go 'You mean the warped mast is why I cannot get my new main to the top of the mast?"... Then, of course the next comment will be if we can bend it back without screwing the stick up!

[@BryanSailing]

Thanks for the hint, but the videos lag quite far behind real time, the stuff was stolen before there was even a video about the boat being back. I'll keep that in mind to not show exactly where the boat is now, but currently it's in a fenced an locked yard that is well watched.
