A Sunken Trawlers First Sea Trial - Project Brupeg Ep.331

[@markshropshire5995]

I’m just an old guy in the United States that have been watching this for a long time I don’t know why but I sure feel proud of this Maiden voyage.

[@bartjohnson8139]

🎉WHOOT! WHOOT!!!🎉 The anticipation of absolute pure joy is clearly on display as Dame does a little tee-tee dance whilst holding onto the wheel and giving line commands to a very capable crew! Congratulations to all! Sincerely, extremely landlocked and very jelly in Dallas Texas, Bart.

If it wasn’t for DangerMarine videos I would’ve never heard of Brupeg . From Ward Arkansas USA , Congratulations on your sea trials .

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks guys

[@johnpayne2465]

After 10 years, learning to move the boat was done with great patience and common sense. Well executed.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks John

[@Cre8sumthing]

Y'all are lovely. Can't even type enough praise into the channel.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thank you so much

[@rudyyarbrough5122]

Having owned a trawler myself, I would recommend installing a simple seawater pump for the anchor chain cleaning and two, I would have a spare of the things that can stop you dead in your tracks if they fail. A starter, fuel pump, water pump etc. Congrats on getting the old girl's feet wet!

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

A ring type spray nozzle works really well. The nozzle is a complete circle that the chain passes through and it sprays all sides of the chain.

[@metagoat]

@@ChrisHarding-lk3jjthat's genius!

Or Fire hose.

2 service kits for every system on the boat plus as you said fuel pumps starters alt ect ect

Thank you seawench555! We’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed with gratitude, relieved and excited! We’ve started cleaning up after 8 years working onboard and getting into the exhaust system next; we’ve got to get ready to be on anchor and independent. We’ve had a couple of light weeks and back into it! Thank you everyone for your incredible support! We love you! J

[@jamespotter936]

Great to see Brupeg on the water and under her own power!

[@Cre8sumthing]

That anchor is a beauty. Didn't even occur to me what a big anchor a steel boat would need.

[@robertchristopher985]

Congratulations Jess and Damien, so fantastic to see Brupeg finally steaming again under her own power after all your years of unbelievable effort. I am also in awe of all the efforts your many friends and crew have contributed over the years to this day like Trevor, Duncan, Birk, Jason, Carlos and Margaux just to name a few. Congratulations everyone.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

We agree!

[@DigitalDorel]

One recommendation is to add a hose and reel to wash the chain and deck while retracting. Compressed air works, but not as well.

[@jeffl6716]

Look at her go! Congrats to everyone involved with the project and especially to Jess and Damien. Big milestone.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Jeff

[@gerryb6367]

Congratulations Brupeg! So few issues is a real triumph! (The nut holding the wheel is always the most problematic part of any boat.....)

[@biggieb400]

Hats off to Burke and Duncan for their dedication to this project!!

[@bartjohnson8139]

I really liked for my shop to be clean, and kept clean. From my decades of rebuilding diesel and gasoline engines, I learned about the very inexpensive, and tidy, way of capturing those pesky first run up leaks, doggy Piddle Pads!

[@Nena84734]

That was so awesome! Yes Birk is such a great guy!!!

[@tas32engineering]

Scuppers not wet yet. Captain Damo will be thinking of changing name to Captain nemo. But it depends how many times he has seen "Pirates of the Caribbean ". If many watch out. No captains or first mates hats yet. I use a frillneck to protect face while out at sea. It's the deep water with a swell that brupeg needs. Amazing work done by all.

[@tas32engineering]

Carnt scuba. Lots of safety checks with scuba & cruising. Town of 1770 has a little estuary. Thermal spring at Agnus Waters.

[@mitch8226]

Congratulations, fun fact, upon my first discovery of you tube,I made a comment or small piece of advice, you returned with feedback, you are special for me

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Mitch. Glad we can share this with you mate. Dame

[@uncleed8192]

Super proud of you all, viewers included. To the old sourpuss that tried an ambush, mind your business and you might stand a chance of climbing out of that dark, dreary place you're in. I'll keep you in my prayers. 🙏🏼

[@websitesthatneedanem]

Well done everyone! ( person that sent the winging email - how sad is your life?! )

[@GlennTillema]

For anyone wondering, it's talked about at @15:00 .

[@jeffreygilchrist1330]

As a retired warrant officer coxswain in the Australian Navy Seatrials are for getting all systems up to speed after a major refit ,it is tedious hard work and very demanding by slowly eliminating problems that will raise their ugly heads under pressure at sea , the crew has to be heavily involved and trained in this process so buckle up viewers if you think they now sail off to foreign lands next week you will be disappointed ,good luck Brupeg and all who sail in her

[@jossmaxwell00]

The culmination of many years hard work and BruPeg enjoys a tentative river trial. Bravo to everyone involved over the years to finally reach this massive mile stone. Hurrah...

[@JOSEPHDANCE75]

Congratulations to all who brought her back to life. Safe travels.

[@joeboonen7421]

Its weird how this channel makes one feel . The pride and admiration for these folks and that stunning vessel and I didnt have anything to do with the project. Best wishes and smooth sailing.

[@clairepapadatos1116]

Omgoodness, after all these years!🎉😢😊❤

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys wow it’s just fantastic to see Brupeg back on the water and doing what you’re supposed to do I don’t understand, but I was very emotional to see Brupeg motoring. Anyway, keep up the good work. Love and appreciate you all Cliff from down the track at Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏾‍🦽

[@quarlow1215]

Damn she looks good under power. Great work all.

[@d.dickinson9413]

BRUPEG looks great underway.

[@JasonSmith-py3gy]

Wow what a huge moment for you. I had my boat in Bundy for 4 years and watched your progress at times I though the build would never end. Congratulations on getting her moving. You must be super excited to move from Build to Test and refine the systems. Well Done Team Brupeg :)

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks so much!

[@sidvak9700]

I'm sure you dreamed this moment many times over the ten year journey, but without the Keystone Cops loose steering wheel scene! Fantastic job! !

Great accomplishment. Thanks to Burke and Duncan for all of your time and hard work.

East Island Flag. New Zealand. Loose nuts can be an issue especially on the steering wheel. All the best for Dirk. He has been a real trooper. You will miss him over the next months when he is gone.

[@jessicav2031]

What an absolute beast of a vessel! I can't wait for the stabilizer test!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

You and me both! hoping for that to be happening on the next trip out. We need to do a fair bit of work securing things so we can get into some actual waves and see what they do

[@WaterfrontJustin]

I'm certain that type of person will follow you as long as you do this. The best part is you know they contribute to watch time so you can thank the haters.

[@bluedog4286]

Bloody fantastic. Well done and keep trucking.

[@elrobo3568]

Great transition! I owned a boat repair shop and I always had a stainless drip pan made to put under the engine and drive system and put drip diapers in them so it was easy to see a leak and easy to clean up. And yes there are always those that are jealous and try to be hurtful. Wonderful to see you underway even for a short time. I also installed a water jet where the anchor chain comes up where it will wash the chain before it and the wash water comes inside.

[@garyalderman3367]

You beat me to it. I was going to make the same comment about a chain wash nozzle.

[@jaygee5693]

[@gordonagent7037]

Congratulations everyone, so nice to see Brupeg under her own steam again, awesome effort to get to this stage. So sad Birk has gone, he was such a really decent guy, will be pleased to see him back again soon. I guess that means all the jobs that need a skinny guy to do will have to wait now until his return. Well done guys

[@georgelewis8904]

Looking good, happy days.

[@ajpaul163]

The first dark night bucking into it while watching for logs in the water, you will wish you could see past your bow. Consider repainting with a darker color, and you will increase your visibility immensely. Flat black is good. Battleship Grey works. My personal preference is Flat Dark Red. Good Job getting her going, and good Luck out there.

[@heyjer8000]

ok - how many people got chills when the music kicked in at 12:30 ?

To see "BRUPEG" steaming once more was just fantastic what a ship, Damien and Jess you did It, all your crew over the years have been amazing. All your patreon's must be chuffed with the result and proud of everyone involved. BRUPEG rocks!! (not to much I hope) Well done.

[@lodragan]

When I was a kid I would watch the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. The Calypso was an amazing boat that they modified to be a premier exploration platform. Brupeg is following in some amazing footsteps - a great accomplishment now, with more to come! Kudos! 😎

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Ironically, we have a big photo of Jacques in the galley. Is was an awesome boat and world he created

[@jaygee5693]

Congratulations on such a significant milestone. Birk has become an integral part of the channel, and he will be sorely missed. I wish him a safe trip home, a great Christmas with friends and family, and a speedy return! Really looking forward to more trials, can't wait to see you test the stabiliser system.

[@ozonepat]

After these many years, when I first saw the thumbnail for this video, my brain threw a "does not compute message" when it saw BruPeg on open water under her own power. Congratulations to the entire crew that took on the monumental job of not only restoring the boat to working condition, but doing so in a way that ensures it will be around for a long time, and in a way that potentially has taught thousands of others the skills and thought processes that go in to a labor of love like BruPeg. If Seattle is ever on the destination map, beers are on me.

[@robrenner2963]

A great milestone, I had a lump in my throat as if it was my maiden voyage! Congratulations..

[@GaiusSonofGermanicus]

Great to see Brupeg moving, and no majors from the power plant. Even a team of professionals would be pleased with that run after such a complete rebuild. You guys rock!

[@grahamcifuentes4451]

Your "shark fin" , Damian, is commonly called a Picker, as it picks every second link off the gypsy. Another point, Sylfia has pressurised sea water coming up the stbd pipe handrail, and fresh up the port rail. Just sowing a seed!

[@yeroc4638]

Great to see Brupeg underway! I was on board the USS Iwo Jima LHD7 when it commissioned back in 2000. Taking it through sea trials was indeed just the first step. We spent about a month getting all the gear onboard where it was supposed to be and "securing for sea" before we actually went anywhere. I'll give ya a "Bravo Zulu" for a job well done!

Having watched you rebuild brupeg for a long time in the UK I just wanted to say seeing her and you out on the water was amazing well done to you for getting so far it's amazing

[@mctoline79]

What a feat. So many boat projects never see the water. Truly great to see the boat moving. Yall put it all out there good and bad on the internet. You are an inspiration to the younger generation it’s ok to not be an expert and learn. If u listen to people who worry nothing will happen. Love yall more courage to you hope u inspire more people to follow their dreams regardless of expertise.

[@rolandtb3]

On the water, getting comfortable with the systems and deficiencies. Mastering feathering the controls/steering to jockey Brupeg in reverse. There seems to be a minor misalignment of the anchor chain dropping into the anchor locker. The upright piece of deck pipe seems slightly forward of the chain falling off the windlass roller. A tendency to kink or bunch up, dropping at a slight angle. The chain does not naturally drop straight in. With Birk and Duncan gone, you and Jess can take a temporary celebratory break. Then start the small fixes, clean-up and reorganization. Afterwards moving forward with the Genset muffler, window installation, troublshooting engine gage issues, etc. The ability to anchor or hook up to a mooring. Testing the anchor in heavy winds and big sea fare soon with extra staff. Lots more sea trials, testing the various systems and getting baselines.

[@donwilliams9661]

Very cool seeing Brupeg cutting through the water... way to go everyone involved...

Congratulations to the crew of pirates. It's Alive. With your deck wash, maybe a pair of sprays on the bow to pre wash the chain 'cause that mud will stink. All the hard work is now paying off. Well done.

[@flynfishak]

Your crew needs headsets for comms in close quarters. Helps out wonderfully for clarity. Your email sender is a classic case of if some people didn't have a life that sucked they wouldn't have one at all. Awesome to see Brupeg underway. Nice sounding diesel. Bump-n-Back works well since a single screw doesn't like to respond to rudder when in reverse. Back up, drift back, set rudder, forward to realign, back again, repeat ad-nauseum. Done it for years.
