Buying an Old Sailboat to Sail Around the World (Hard Work)! | Ep.1

[@MellowMeadowsGrove]

Is there anything better than finding a new (to me) sailing channel where you just know you're going to love every minute of the videos??! ❤ You guys come across on camera really well. It's obvious that the giggles are genuine and your videography is great! Now excuse me while I binge-watch everything on your channel! 😁❤

[@NavikaSailing]

Heyy Grace!! Haha thank you for the comment that's so amazing to hear! Big love from us! 💜

[@johnfahy6353]

Very nice couple. All the time working on the boat is well spent . It makes you familiar with everything on the boat .

[@NavikaSailing]

This is a great point John. Makes us feel more and more at ease, knowing that whatever happens we can (probably) fix it

[@alofns]

Stumbled into your world thanks to KZbin. Thanks for inviting us into your world. Looking forward to following your adventure.

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey Alan, welcome aboard!

[@ianscott3180]

Teak decks are a pain but worth it. Even more so on a traditional boat, well done.

[@NavikaSailing]

We didn't want to lose them as they're so beautiful! Happy we went for it in the end and now have all this time to enjoy the them.

[@tinglu4929]

So, this popped up as an option to view and normally I get bored about 1/3 of the way and skip the rest. Simply said, fantastic. The information provided and story you tell is from the heart. Its also comes through how much you care for each other. So refreshing in a world gone mad. Thank you.

[@NavikaSailing]

Great job on your hard work to make Navika look stunning! Happy Sailing from some fellow sailors.

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey thanks! Still a lot of work to do. we just had another yard period in Spain and did some more work. She's looking even better now! But in the meantime the varnish has gotten pretty bad and needs doing... never ending project

[@hansguenter6263]

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks! Teak decks are definitely a love hate relationship we have right now

[@briansmythe3219]

Oh I found the first Episode , I watched one where you were Treating the decks , Now I get It Cool Nice Boat Glad your both like Matience To keep her Ship Shape ,

[@NavikaSailing]

Sometimes feels like a losing battle but it's always worth it when we do try and keep on top of the maintenance! These old boats are very attention demanding haha

[@briansmythe3219]

@@NavikaSailing Yeah I stared a buiness once Ship shape Detailing , boat detailing it ended up pretty sucessfull , but the thought of buffing a 60 foot boat these days makes my eyes water LOL

[@briansmythe3219]

Plus new Boats are just as Demanding , She"s A lovely boay Hope you Enjoy

[@georgeroach7499]

Nice video, well done, keep them coming . How about a quick boat tour?

[@NavikaSailing]

Great idea! We'll get the boat all tidied up and show you around :)

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Nice job on the deck guys. Guess you didn’t have any core issues,so that’s good. Andy UK

[@foxyladysailing1792]

Fantastic job, well done. What brand of silicone caulking did you use ?

[@myersjr]

Great video guys! The deck looks incredible. So nice to see all your hard work pay off. Only thing is now I wanna hear Beethoven’s 5th played on the horns of 100 yachts

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks Mike! we're pleased with the result as well - it's stayed pretty nice since then too. Hope you're good :)

[@vamharris92]

Good luck guys! Love love love the video!

Man I can feel how good that cold one was at 3:44

[@NavikaSailing]

Haha, those little beers got us through those long days!

[@shandyguy211]

Very inspiring and thanks for sharing a little insight in to your new life on the ocean. Did Alex also do some of the work??? :)

[@NavikaSailing]

Haha it’s more that I’m not able to multitask and not yet in the habit of picking up the camera!

[@twiper]

Nice boat - subscribed ! :)

[@NavikaSailing]

Haha nice, thanks for following along!

[@DesmondDao629]

how much did the boat cost initialy?

[@theresedignard4267]

Beautiful!!!

[@NavikaSailing]

Thank you!!

[@richardcampbell-burns9378]

Careful running square with mainsail right out rubbing against the spreaders and stays, on along passage it will quickly cause chafing and damage to the sail

[@SailingAventura1]

Kinda jelous 😊 of your channel success, but i can see why. Keep up the good work!

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey thanks 🙏

[@Cptnbond]

This looks promising ...

[@NavikaSailing]

Welcome aboard :)

What was an American and English doing in France and how did you meet, what is your education?

[@stmiller8427]

Subscribed. Watching from Los Angeles, CA Thank you for sharing the deck work, Steve Miller.

[@NavikaSailing]

Hey Steve! Thanks for following along, do you have a boat and teak deck as well?

[@cnc75adventures49]

Good stuff love the Tanya 37s! Seems like a great start to an awesome adventure, maybe a video with a little back story of you guys and a boat tour that is if your inviting us along it might be a nice way to get to know you better! Thanks for sharing great quality 👍👍

[@NavikaSailing]

Thanks Chad! Appreciate the support :) great idea, we're planning to do that very soon. Just need to get the boat cleaned up properly haha

[@samstevohurst]

[@NavikaSailing]

♥️♥️

[@kz4506]

Typical DIy s , mask the deck off before spreading silicone into teak or you will have to sand old teak down to clean off and make it thinner

[@NavikaSailing]

thanks for the comment - we considered that but with so much thickness left in the teak there was no way we felt like taking that much time taping each seam!

[@foxyladysailing1792]

@@NavikaSailing Hi what sort of silicone did you use ?

[@vladdracula7116]

she speak very fast so its hard to unterstand

[@testicool013]

Navika sounds Latin to me
