A wooden sailboat restoration in Brazil looks like this! - Sailing Yabá #76

[@SailingYaba]

We are so grateful to everyone watching us and supporting our journey! Thanks to you, we have the motivation to keep building, keep filming and keep sharing it all! You guys are the best!! 💙💙💙

[@donnakawana]

I look forward to seeing Sunday episode... Nothing more exciting..No matter what part of the build it is... Watching the ole man of the wood do his magic is a gift to watch every episode... He an all of the craftsmen are just amazing... An Caillou is just claimed his spot under the bench... You aught to make a dog bed area for him to rest in... Lol! Just a thought... You can build several secret spots for him to hide an sleep...! I'm the crazy dog lady tho..😆 thanks for sharing your lives with us... I really do look forward to Sundays... ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@patmccccc]

Love the shows. You should do profiles on the workers. especially the oldest guy. I would LOVE to know his story. How old is he? He climbs and lifts like he's a young man, is VERY strong. What's his story

[@patmccccc]

Also, shouldn't they be using screws instead of nails in the benches and cabinetry? So it can be unassembled easier if you remodel in the future. Far more secure too.

[@patmccccc]

The feet on your deck chairs on the swim platform will fall into the big cracks.

[@richierich2208]

Keep it up because I look forward to each week!!! Home sailing! One thing I am most impressed about is the caulking! The guy has the patience of a saint and obviously hasn't forgotten where's he has already been!!!!

[@canuck52]

That dog coming up the ladder was precious!

[@SailingYaba]

He is so skillful! We still can't believe he managed to learn how to climb that ladder by himself!

[@petermuller4322]

„Welcome to another day in paradise“ - I love it. 🤣Boat is looking great. 👍🏻

[@unstoppablezone4980]

My favorite is the guy doing the caulking....keeps plugging away at a thankless job...but the entire viability of the final boat is utterly dependent on his doing a good job. What he does is ultimately invisible....but without his tireless work and expertise this boat wouldn't last 2 years at sea. Amazing. KUDOS to the caulker.

[@BillChild2njoy]

I don't know why but I have been away or not seen your episodes as much..I love you both and Yaba is sooo advanced now and so many beautiful ❤ details getting done. So beautiful and hard work. Love how the doggy climbs the ladder to come aboard not to miss a thing and be near you all. Even the clinking cauck is going in .oh my what a job to do too. The aft area will be so comfortable and the swimming platform will be amazing to even lay on or extend the party at anchor or dock.. I hope I don't miss another episode..

[@loubonaparte5063]

First time I've second guessed their work... That end grain on the swim platform deck should have been better sealed.. would have been SO much easier to do before assembling as opposed to allowing that wood to be exposed to sea water in the future. Personally epoxy on that end grain would have made that last a LONG time... LOVE YABA!!!

[@wallywombat164]

G'day Hoberta and Duka. It's greeat to see on Sailing Yaba. Obrigado.

[@HyperionMV]

The reason the seam compound is “sinking” is that it shrinks when it dryes. I am doing my deck now and am using non shrinking, sandable TDS compound designed specifically to no shrink. It’s expensive as hell but cheaper than the labor “mine” to do it twice. I’m off to do more today! Looking good. You guys are dogged and that is quite impressive.

[@richardp2152]

By TDS I assume you mean Teak Decking Systems - great company I know very well.

[@SailingYaba]

Thanks, Will look into the brand for the next time which is hopefully not in the near future

[@HyperionMV]

@@SailingYaba Teak Decking Systems SIS440. Don’t feel too bad as there was such a big supply issue worldwide for it that I had to buy one or two tubes at a time from several stores around the US to finish my deck. For repairs in the future, there is no better stuff. Also, if you are going to varnish wood with a joint in it. The joint is where the varnish will fail first and cause a revarnish. If you route out the surface of the joint 6mm squared all along the joint and put a bead of 440 after you varnish then the joint will not fail. It looks good because it matches your deck.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thank you! You're the best!

[@brantleychuck]

I love the project ! I’m picturing that gigantic swim platform full of beautiful folks having a great time. I also can picture it in a big sea, slapping down in a moderate sea. When it breaks off I’m hoping it does not take a chunk of the transom with it. That would be a boat sinker.

[@jabirucru6970]

I agree, it’s too big! In a running sea if a wave gets under it the likely hood of pitchpoling is increased and as you say never mind the slamming.

[@va3spt]

These are traditional on these boats. Check out the yellow Aquanatical boat to the port side of Yaba. It has the same type and size of swim platform.

[@donnakawana]

No it will be fine... I've seen many with bigger "swim decks" water goes through that as it isn't solid. It will also have braces... It will be fine in following sea actually. That's what they've said about catamaran's underside... It's fine! My Mom always used to say this to me when I'd say something I felt about someone else "Don't write the ending of the book before the beginning.. write your own book... ".... As I grow up I say less my fears more my hopes... ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@brantleychuck]

@@donnakawana Hope is good. So, just got back from a trip to the Bahamas , 40 foot motor sailor. Got into some nasty sea one night. Tore off my swim platform. I have seen a boat that had its anchor platform torn off from slamming into a head sea. Now, what you wrote was just about the nicest way I have been told to mind my own business. And I did give it some thought before saying something that could be construed as negative. My goal was to share my experience with a swim platform under rough conditions. I hope they never have a problem. Probably won’t. But sharing my experience is appropriate. IMO. I stand by it. Cheers

[@donnakawana]

@@brantleychuck I do know I come across that way... Lol.. I have worked on vessels my whole life... I've seen some savage stuff at sea an in bay's... An since you just saw all that,I get why you were so serious...!! The guys on the boat tease me for being the rudest nice person... Or they Never Kno what's going to fly outta my mouth... Lol

[@jeanracine3464]

I have been following the build progress from the beginning and I must say the Shipwrights, that you have accumulated for the undertaking of this mass project is unbelievable, they are artists of little recognition and this boat building craft should be taught instead of letting it die out.

[@garyc5483]

A lot of jobs going on now. Nice to see the engine room getting paint. Be great to get the engine fitted in the boat. Some excellent work by your shipwrights. Sorry but I think that that swim platform is too big. I would have thought that 1.25 metres was more than big enough. It will be great in a bay at anchor but in a big sea I would be a bit worried. A nasty wave from astern and it is liable to get snapped off or at best spring all the transom planking. I hope you never get in those kind of seas but it is worth keeping in mind. If I am really honest it looks a bit ugly hanging off the back as it does. Fair winds & regards from the UK

[@loubonaparte5063]

Also that end grain should have been more thoroughly sealed... that is going to be trouble down the road.... They do EVERYTHING GREAT other than that ;-)

[@grasbest]

I was wondering about that too, but after looking up pictures of other Brazilian schooners, many of them seem to have huge swimming platforms at the stern. Seems to be a proven concept

[@briansmythe3219]

Wow You Guys are still Going I haven"t watched since last year Sorry , Looking Good Glad your nearly there well you know

[@fredboucher8689]

Have to be careful spray painting with no air movement. The cartridge respirator is only good for ppm protection and when you are in confined spaces with no air movement you will overwhelm their capacity. The safest solution is to let her do the spraying! Just kidding the health of the both of you is priceless and the proper solution is to use supplied air or just McGiver a small hose from a dive tank to your dual cartridge mask and keep a small positive pressure. The both of you need to enjoy this beautiful boat your building. Keep the great work up.

When MP talks about diving from the swim platform, and the wonderful gatherings around the dining table, doesn't it bring all of the hard work into focus and helps fix our sights on the goal..!! These steps may not be huge in visual expression of the achievements, but every plank and nail is bringing you closer to the reason you are doing all tis work now. It's so excting to watch this progress, and I love all the techniques of the joinery - mad skills by all of the craftsmen..!! How's the guy hammering the swim platform at a weird angle by the transom..!?? Makes it look easy, but we now it is not.!! And all the while, there is ever reliable, consistent and persistent Woody-Woodpecker doing more of the caulking cotton. What a job, and what a man..!! Thank you Ben & MP for taking us on this journey with you, your filming skills are out of this world and take us right into the heat of the matter - how else do we see inside the thicknesser, planer and bandsaw - oh, and circular saw. Te workers are so patient with you and understanding. Brilliant..!! God bless, and here's to your journey..!! Grant, Adelaide, South Australia

[@bryonensminger7462]

I've said it before and I say it again your yard crew dose excellent work , they are really a crew of great ship rights , especially when you look at the tools they have to work with

[@mz10713]

Why is the swim platform so large? That could be an issue in rough seas, as waves will push up on that much surface area with more force.

[@JHK66]

Sorry guys, but the hole naval design of the boat and the fact that it‘s mainly hold together by nails, without being thoroughly protected by epoxy or Polyurethane at joints and open cutting lines and holes makes clear this is not a offshore vessel,better never come into a situation where the seastate would create a problem due to the size of the swimming plattform. At the same time most likely the planks would jump off the frames already….

[@mz10713]

I'm guessing more likely the 4"x4" through the transom will give first.

[@FlyingConey]

You are using galvanized nails for the bathing platform? Wouldn't it be better to use some bronze ones? Are you not concerned about iron sickness in the future. I know you put some thoughts into that so I'm really interested why you use the galvanized ones.

[@kimblebronson8611]

Just wondering why they don't use screws. Seems like nails will come out a lot easier over time than screws.

[@nealeburgess6756]

Nice to see the progress now. MP, you were worried because we are not seeing big jobs being done. I prefer watching these finishing jobs being done, because it makes Yabá seem more real. I am impatient to see her sailing, so seeing the seating area and the swim platform being made makes that prospect seem more real. Every piece of wood, every nail, every bit of caulking, they are all one step closer to completion. Well done everybody on the team.

[@minibusadventures5483]

I’m a bit concerned about that diving platform, are you not worried about following seas landing on it and damaging it, everything else is looking great guys .. Jack n Steve .. 🐶😎

[@va3spt]

These are traditional on these boats. Check out the yellow Aquanatical boat to the port side of Yaba. It has the same size and shape of swim platform.

[@minibusadventures5483]

I understand that its traditional on these boats, but this boat is not being used in the traditional manor, as mentioned in another comment here, Yaba will be used in open seas and oceans and a following sea and breaking waves could break the platform. Hopefully this will never happen, l also noticed the rigging wires are also attached to the platform too, if loosing the platform, this could also make the standing rigging weaker too. Maybe the platform could be made smaller and have a hinged section that could be lifted and folded out to make the platform bigger …?

You are closing the drains by the seating area and the rest seems very small. Do you provide deck drains through hull (orr swimming platform)

The swim platform is just another design characteristic that shows this boat is not for extended passages. They don't don't talk about their post launch plans anymore. I think "High seas, globe trotting" is just an ideal they are allowing the fans to perpetuate for views. They will still be able to do some coastal cruising with the shallower draft of an inshore vessel

If you need bronze or stainless fittings, put out the request, I'm guessing people would be willing to donate. Best of luck moving ahead. It's really coming along beautifully.

You haven't talked about water-maker(s) or did I miss it. How about fresh-water tank(s), I should think at least 1,000 gallons.

[@johannestejder4469]

I hate being one of those people but i have an oppinion based on experience. I like the fact that you have a gap in between the decking on the platform as it allows water to flow through which dampens the hit if its impacted from below by a wave. However, i think it should be screwed down because of the force pushing against the boards IF it gets hit from underneath. Not nailed down. But im not sure if this is of any relevance in your case. It looks like the platform is hanging quite high above sealevel, am i right? You are a pleasurecraft of significant size. You might never encounter such sizeable waves anyways for this to be even happening. I worked on a 16 metre workboat catamaran when i saw this the first time. The boat was brand new and had small platform on the back of each hull, working as bumpers for the waterjets. We had plastic gratings on top of them bolted down. After the first workday, both got washed away. The size of the rectangular holes where maybe 1,5 square centimetres. So we installed 5 cm gratings instead and that seemed to allow enough water to flow through to withstand the reduced impact.
