[@ianbush7483]

It’s lovely to see these old wrecks ( just like mine) being faithfully restored back to a functioning boat that will give far more pleasure than if you had bought a new one. Good on you

[@silverfazer8290]

and cheaper

[@bendaves77]

The style of Cheoy Lee sailboats is awesome, and from what I've read and heard, they're built strong as well.

[@MaryCateOMalley]

Cheoy Lee is the most elegant, beautiful design.

[@terryhagan7694]

She looks in fairly good shape, yep you need new foresail, if i know ill not be sailing for over 8 weeks is take all the sails down and store them. and at the end of the season i wash them, dry then talk powder them and bag them.good luck you have a nice boat and lots of work and I'm sure she will love you for making her beautiful again.Terry Hagan

[@Zerostar369]

Whoa buddy! What a project. Good luck with everything!

[@SailBros]

Zerostar369 Thanks!!

[@ThePr8head]

That's awesome you have a clone! I've wanted one for years so I could get twice as much done lol.

[@danbradley1943]

Boat has good lines. Lots of work to do but can see potential.

[@hellohellohello6847]

Wow! You have some work to do and money to be spent!! Fair play!!

[@Escapetosea]

Oh wow! Didn’t realize

[@capiberra4118]

Thanks for sharing this. I'm anxious to see how it all turns out.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I love restoration projects and it looks like you have started a good one!

[@richardstallbaum9580]

I have always like Cheoy Lee Offshore 27's...

[@russellesimonetta3835]

That,s a cool boat.take apart and template eveything.

[@bensteel3944]

Definately out with the old and in with the new in this case ... looking forward to seeing the transformation

[@Mark_L]

Looks like lots of hard work. Looks great so far though.

[@brucethec8150]

Make a playlist that has all videos in order.

[@markmuller8829]

Big job, good luck. So many head sails left on the furler have flogged themselves to death because the furling line wasn't properly secured..... hey, you probably needed a new jib anyway ;)

[@et5222]

the word BUY is in the title....wait..... did they actually pay money for this boat ? :) Looking forward to this series !

[@Reddsmorris1]

good luck on this project

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

I see a lot of boats for sale on Craig's List where the owner claims "the hard work is already done, she is all gutted, now you can rebuild her the way you want". I smile but do not call. I rebuilt an interior once, and it was a very satisfying experience, so satisfying that once was enough for a lifetime.

[@hadenough7901]

My friend, I know of which you speak. I've had more than a few boaters to strip their bots bare. THEN ask what a new interior costs and often it is... more than they paid for the boat. Of course they never save any of the removed interior for patterns. Which saves enormous time. More good boats are killed that way than any other.

[@RocketRadioShow1]

ahh to be young and and in love.......... keep at it little brothers. look up "free wooden boats" to find very cool hardware you might want. the sailboat junkyard another place to score valuable replacement parts and trim,railing... make friends with the owner. cheers you fool-hearted lads.

[@SolarBurrito]

Good luck boys!

[@charonstyxferryman]

1:21 If I should begin a restoration af that interior, it looks like I would need - for a start - a big rigid bucket, a shovel, and a crowbar - and have a seriously *big* construction waste container available.

[@venuspromos3171]

ohhhhh i just found this blog .. i think i seen yall before on soSAILize . Keep up the good work :)

[@wilcapoeira]

Gogogo long project!!!!

[@emreg89]

Goodluck ✌

[@billturner2360]

Hell ya.......... lets do it ! 1968

[@MoosePantz]

Do you gents take on contract projects? I'd strongly consider you for a major redo of my boat. Anyway - thanks for these wonderful videos.

[@SailBros]

You never know. Where are you located? You can send us an email. sailbros89 at gmail

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Wow the only way I'd take this is if it was free and then I'd still probably pass on it.

[@notwhatiwasraised2b]

I love this sh*t

[@lowellmccormick6991]

Get a pocket knife with a fid. Get a fanny pack with a small collection of essential tools. 4" vice grips, a crescent wrench, a couple of screw drivers & things like that.

[@littlesister3477]

THE RIP OUT IS ALWAYS THE EASY PART . LOL

[@martychader3058]

What is the hull length loa?

[@1yachtcarpenter]

Good times..

[@SVLOKEE]

You sure have some work to do!

[@SailBros]

Lo Kee Yeah, Hopefully it will be worth it. Thanks for watching!

[@tims2179]

How many hours did it take to fully restore?

[@SailBros]

No clue. I never kept track of it. It took several years to get her sailing again but I was never working full time on the boat.

[@tims2179]

@@SailBros so did you keep it in the boat yard for like a year or more? How much does a boat yard charge per month for dry dock space to work on a boat? Nothing exact just a ball park figure.

[@SailBros]

We were only in the boat yard for a couple of months. The yards around here are crazy expensive. $30 a day. I’m sure they are cheaper in other areas like Florida or along the east coast.

[@tims2179]

@@SailBros Thank you.

[@MrNkaBEL]

Ребят, вы отвечаете на комментарии? Сколько вы заплатили за эту лодку? Во скоолько уже обошелся ремонт? Может быть было легче построить новую?)))

[@MrNkaBEL]

Жду новые видео

[@yvels3685]

ok .. ok... 2 guys looks a lot of structural and cosmetic work. as long as your engine's looks ok AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhh fuck that!!!

[@bryanfurr818]

plyers or something?

[@michaeltrujillo4457]

Hey I live in the Houston area. where did you find this boat? online or stumbled upon it?

[@SailBros]

Michael Trujillo Very cool! I found her on craigslist.

[@chancemccool]

what did you pay? I have been looking thru the comments but do cant find this important part of the story.

[@MrJshsedgwick]

I see music: Kevin Macleod in the description, may I please have the title of the intro song.

[@samesaw]

Pliers or something ? I already know how this is going to go. Good Luck. You will need lots my friend. SE

[@fanglethorpe]

How much were you paid to take that junker away?!

[@generoll4027]

was this boat sunk?

[@SailBros]

Gene Roll Not that I know of!

[@harryhitt5102]

Gene Roll no the boat was never sunk but did sit for years with a foot of water above the floor boards. I have meny stories about this boat. lived on it for 5years. sailed it all up and down the coast. great to weather and a beam but slow and rollie down wind.

[@aserta]

You know it's bad, when after tearing massively in to the boat, you stop and have to say, "looking better". At least, that's what i'd say...

[@charlesfitton9677]

Need an engine for that? I have a Palmer in the garage...

[@SailBros]

It had a palmer in it! I have a Yanmar replacement. Thanks for the offer though.

[@harryhitt5102]

I owned that boat for bout 8 years. brought it from Dallas and sold when I got a 40'. did you buy it from Patty? anyways please friend me on face book. Harry Hitt here in Galveston. would like to know how old Tsue Kwan is doing.

[@SailBros]

Hi Harry. Its awesome that you found us. Yeah I bought the boat from Patty. I couldn't find you on facebook. Send me your info in a private message.

[@harryhitt5102]

Harry Hitt in galveston on FB My profile pic is a wookie with sunglasses and a surf board. Or just text me 409-229-8846

[@TurnerRentz]

you may want to delete your personal info off the public internet

[@styx85]

Bought? You had to pay for this thing?

[@tip00former1]

I must say the boat looked relatively dry. Bit late, I know 😎

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Wood top sides in Texas sun....hmmmm

[@Voltomess]

Guys please tell us how much did you pay for that boat? I got the answer in episode 2 :D

[@granskare]

maybe a small airplane might be nicer? :)

[@bendaves77]

Who wants to fly when you can sail

[@brandonscottwallace]

Brothers? I don't see it.
