[@robertengster5643]

There's something special about your relationship and marriage, That keeps us all coming back for more..Truely Enjoy you two..

[@flick22601]

You hit the nail on the head with that statement.

[@johnrimmer5955]

I also second your comment 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Britbabe53]

SO true... goals!!!

[@ecchance]

Yes, very well stated 😊

[@dougmaz1]

I don’t want to see this boat finished for a long time because I enjoy it so much I get a hell of a lot pleasure watching it and you two are such wonderful people.

[@billschlafer]

Restoring old boats and airplanes are expensive, complicated, and a labor of love. You guys are doing a terrific job to get her back to sailing shape.

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Amazing very nice

[@GARDENER42]

I concur. You're both doing a super job.

[@GARDENER42]

Why is You Tube deleting my comments? All I'm trying to say is what a great job they're doing.

[@richardball9724]

That clamp thingymajig works really well great idea

[@ShipHappensUK]

Yes it does!

[@richardford4570]

Get 3 or 4 plastic pallets and screw together for a scaffold inn the mud to stand on , great work so far guys. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍 ❤

[@philippeterson3144]

You guys are the BEST!!! Can't express how much my life has been impacted by your always refreshing "Can Do" spirit! Keep it up

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Amazing very nice ❤ Good work

[@buzzkillington3354]

I think once you've finished all the labour intensive hull work you'll be surprised how quick the plywood parts of the boat will come together, like the new roof did a couple of years ago keep pushing on guys 💪👍

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Good work ❣️

[@ehofman7636]

You done a lot you can see the curve is coming 👍👍👌👌

[@randogame4438]

"I got a cramp in me bum" Hilarious!!

[@jt822]

you could make two brackets that would hook over the top and have a plank at the outside bottom. this would give you a work platform on the outside of the boat . great work, I always enjoy your workmanship and humor.

[@roncarney9158]

Ideas team, Simon`s multi-purpose clamp and Gemma`s bespoke angle reference thingy!

[@fat_biker]

For the other side, set one GoPro up in the wheelhouse filming the outside, and another one up below deck, & film an epic time-lapse of the work :-). A time lapse is a great way of fully documenting something you don't want to film in laborious detail or broadcast ditto, but if something happens you do want to film you can insert the clip into the timelapse :-).

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Thanks ❤

[@brianmacadam4793]

I'm going to echo the thoughts of many others here, you're working relationship is inspiring ! You seem to have the EXACT same pathway to this HUGE goal. BRAVO !

[@WimvdBrink]

The best is .. Gemma has good ideas too, not just running like a chicken behind Simon., they are both skilled and precise

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Very nice

[@everestyeti]

Not long now and your going to be ready for that front deck, for my Fathers Day gift my kids got me the paperback version of the 1944 Diary. Really pleased can't wait to read it. Happy Fathers day to all Fathers out there. 👍

[@davidflamee]

Sarinda is looking fantastic, the progress you're making is very exciting, and enjoyable to watch. The supporters of your channel are much appreciated, for making the videos possible. Thoroughly enjoy watching, so, big big thanks to them and, as ever, big big well done to you's.

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Amazing very nice

[@Fantic156]

Nice to hear you're tooled up ... "I brought a hammer and everything", so funny .. ;)

[@EarlN2010]

you keep working and we will keep watching thanks for taking us along

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Good work ❣️

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Good work ❣️

[@davedave6404]

They just keep coming - some of the best presentations on U-Tube and real, not poses for camera.. The real deal, these folks are highly skilled, competent, capable and quite lovely too. Outstanding production, outstanding work, delivered within a tight budget successfully. The best.

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Good work ❣️

[@JamesHardiman99]

Brilliant job as always. Well done.

[@simonkelly2339]

Brilliant progress, you an really see the strength added back to the structure, and your team work is just remarkable 👍🏼

[@shelleyregnier6671]

You work so well together. A pleasure to watch your progress and the clever things you come up with like the new clamp. Sarinda is going to look so beautiful when you are done.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you very much!

[@MuzzleMike]

You two are not just saving an old wooden boat from a sad time in this world . The both of you are doing a fantastic job at it . Saving a machine of war . That had a hand at saving . Not just one country but a world from a hideous thing . She needs this so the world will not forget what happened. We need to try the best we can to not let that happen again . Thank you and. May God Bless the two of you . Along with those 4 hand doing the Lord's work for us not to forget.

[@mikethomas2138]

Was so absorbed by this one, when it started raining, I jumped up to get the washing in !! Needless to say it wasn’t raining 😂😂😂

[@tomshaw9065]

Simon, that clamp was brilliant! The port side is looking really solid now - I can't wait for the deck beams to start going in.

[@ShipHappensUK]

You and me both!

[@divarachelenvy]

how awesome , progress is amazing.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you!

[@buza1300]

I'm just amazed! All the work you're putting in to this boat, your are getting som appreciation in the end of this work! Im sure!!

[@kimkeam2094]

Fantastic job done, your commitment is outstanding.

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

Looking forward to the first long deck beam. That will be a real milestone! All the best wishes and stay safe

[@keithweybury5212]

The prep work for the deck fit continues. Well done

[@jeffreyoldham55]

_Past the wheelhouse_ ...great progress! That clamp you fabbed up was brilliant, Simon.

[@noelbowerman1562]

Seeing how useful a finger sander is on your show I brought a Milwaukee one this week ,very useful with cabinetry. Knipex are definitely the best cutter's. Terrific progress this week.

[@jamesa7506]

Whew! That was a load of work you guys did, well done! 👍

[@Ibh111142]

It must be a good feeling to have strength back in the hull.

[@kennethhough3251]

Guys each video gets better than the last. Like your editing and camera angles. And the music in the background. Love ya. Happy father's day to you Simon 😎👍

[@lesliedickinson198]

I always love to see your videos and the way you just get stuck in and sort things out. The work up to now that you have done is so impressive and dare I say it maybe better than its last refit. There is a great pleasure from rebuilding things as I know with my ford vehicles I keep going through LOTS of work lol. Keep it up you will have a fine ship once finished 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@Shady-Shane]

Hittin' things since 1980, spoken like a true Mechanical engineer.

[@garymucher4082]

While I will probably never ever rebuild such a boat (ship) it is interesting to see how it is done and the names of the different parts as you go.

[@waynes.3380]

You two are outstanding and love the work on your boat

[@JonKemp-d1q]

The family that rebuilds a boat together

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Good work ❣️

[@benjaminmack7567]

I feel your pain on the rain front! I've been trying to paint my boat for weeks and everything I pick up a brush the forecast changes!

[@billmeldrum2509]

You guys are impressive. And fearless… step by step, bringing a piece of history back to life. 🇨🇦

[@rolandtb3]

Well done. Finding economical ways to improve efficiency. Just show the tricky or unusual bits for the starboard side.

[@kapkone]

The best thing about this channel is your relationship

[@fonhollohan2908]

more and more progress, can't complain about that, now can we? cheers.

[@robertengster5643]

Are you guys just as excited about the cross beams and. The deck being laid up on it. Your so close to another area being dried in and water tight..Keep up the Great work.

[@ecchance]

Very happy to see you’ve had a wonderful and productive day. You two are amazing!

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you so much!

[@generyan2332]

You two are stars. You shine your lights on the shelves and decks with radiant beams.

[@richardgould240]

What a team you guys are, cracking on with it.

[@Britbabe53]

Well done guys! Looks great!!

[@martinbarker5045]

Soon be deck time guys. Hope that we do have a summer this year.👍

[@garyregan4871]

Top notch workmanship.... and lots of it

[@billmoran3812]

Simon’s inventiveness is very impressive. You are certainly on your way to becoming experts. The pace of completion has steadily increased as you gain skills and invent methods to make the work easier.

[@aeros4me]

Great progress. Looking good ;) Cheers Ray

Ship Happens pickup line: "Is your name Scotty? Because you beam me up"

[@alan-sk7ky]

27:23 David: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been...that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

[@pastsellbuy3878]

Well done you folks week in week out amazing fortitude

[@lauralake7430]

You two are just lovely! Cant wait to see you get those beams on!❤

[@dremein]

Maybe you could do the KZbin Finger Snap to get the starboard side to the same state as the port side. Then put in a few deck beams, another finger snap, then you could put in the deck. Think how much time you could save!

[@terrybull1043]

Whenever I watch this I need a cup of tea 😂jobs a good en guys❤

[@lauralake7430]

I always have to stop and make tea!

[@swasle]

How you going to keep the boat clean with all those Alpacas on board, oh! packers...........

[@custa73burner]

Port side already looking so much better, hope the starboard side goes well. Looking forward to seeing some deck beams in place. You're doing a grand job.

[@scottcates]

I love the fitting of each beamy thing in this union of hull and deck.

[@pete.theeggbox]

if it helps Gemma, when you fit the beam shelf parts, have some plastic bags, or cut some bin bags into flat squares, then you can use them to flatten the glue behind, peel off and reuse, if that's a tip, you can have that one, much love grand job guys, can't say it enough, a real joy to watch you two play so well together, even better when you have such a skilled and supportive wife or husband

[@ianmcdonald6598]

Did you ever sort the fuel tank problem? The reason I ask is that there was an alternative option to the steel or aluminium one and that would be the plastic flexible type .To my mind this could also solve the problem of a rusty interior and its removal . Cleaning and painting the interior, The plastic type inserted with new connectors and if two tanks could also be selectable . As you said they would never be full capacity so the new one could be shaped and halved as well. The progress on the foredeck is very impressive and she is getting back to her shape and strength. Well done you two.!!

[@theconfessionsof_a]

She’s looking great, all thanks to you two and a great community.

[@DuncanBeaird]

Seeing the packers in place at the top of the hull looks like a LOT of progress!! Nice work, there. And the tool making, brilliant!! If you make the second, deeper one, you can both drive and rove nails at the same time, I would think. I do enjoy the detailed work, but fully understand you wanting to make progress toward getting to the point you can lay deck.

[@JohnVegas]

You are a sweet couple, and you are doing a great job. God bless John and Martha

[@davesmith5071]

You two work so well together and so hard i love this channel because you are so happy together.

[@lesleyhutchason6277]

You guys are SO amazing. We watch you every week. And nothing gets in your way to get your ship into shape. So, we'll done!! ❤

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you so much!!

[@denniswray470]

I really enjoyed this informative video today love your work ethic.

[@oomwat6101]

I can highly recommend the DJI-AVATA2 ... 4k stabilised camera, pushbutton landing, intuitive control and first person view goggles. You literally have a camera in the sky that you can control the direction it's looking in by turning your head to look at what you want to see!

[@verdigo5892]

Million to one you two met and mesh so well. Found yourself a Unicorn Simon.

[@chrisbartlett6022]

Well done, it would be easier to squint your eyes a lot so you dont notice stuff not lining up properly 🙂Also weather folks tell fibs all the time. I can only imagine how much longer documenting everything for us to see takes. Looking forward to some new decking going on

[@garrystacey7018]

Great work both love the videos.Thank for sharing 👍

[@kevinmurphy506]

i have been following you guys for approx 3 years now and your focus on the job at hand is brilliant good on yous well done ,keep it up.

[@keith800]

Be a big milestone passed once the deck is finished , at least you will be weather tight for next winter.

[@AM-pl2pt]

Really enjoy watching you two!!…. I learn every time I watch an episode! Not that I would attempt even a small row but it is such fun to watch you two!!

[@buffplums]

Oooh it’s getting close now … so impressive seeing the quality job you made of the deck beams xx❤I’ll bet it feels like it’s starting to come together now?

[@aib0160]

Some great camera work there what with the drone and everything. Very professional, well done.

[@davidantill6949]

Great filming and editing in this episode. Very professional. Have you considered how you are going to attach your stantions for your bulwarks before you close your deck up?

[@EdSmith-wb6lx]

Great progress today good weather helps but your dedication to keep going is so strong. more wood to plane then back to Sarinda no rest for you two Ed 40 S of Vegas

[@garywaddell1343]

Just a suggestion, (because those angles bug you Gemma) why not use pieces off-cut for those wonky few packers? Measure the angles, make small filler pieces to glue in and have them run flush with the bottom of the beam shelf. Nobody will ever know! Shhhh 😉

[@baroldable]

The angles on this vlog are fantastic. Thank you!

[@gregbolitho9775]

Brew song, Right said Fred, song Bernard Crimmins. Nice idea Gemma! Simon, steal and wooden boat builders and repairers were talented people Eh! There used to be an apprenticeship and all! Like carpenters and plumbers and all the trades! Weather apps are good, altho I think yours is better than mine. It rained a couple of nights back, at about 19:30 when it said rain at 21:00. It had stopped by 21:00, so it was right, we got rain. Fun delivering pizza :D Simon, nice clamp you put together bloke! Doin bludy good. Thanks m8s, stay vertical Eh!

[@bruceyoung1343]

You two compliments each other. Love watching your videos

[@ShipHappensUK]

😊 thank you

[@TheByard]

Emma, I use that weather app and its gets it right right up to my garden fence and waters the next door weeds, but not my nanas, jack fruit, guavas or star fruit. Can you do something about it please. Simon I hope you finish the roving as pretty as the Mrs. dose.

[@TMF1954]

Now you can begin to see the real progress you've made.

[@SavingMaverick55]

Great work! I'll definitely be utilizing that method for measuring the angles of the packer blocks.

[@davidm6134]

Great boat progress. What a cohesive team. Well done.

[@karintippett753]

If there is anything to the side of where you want to land the drone it will move away since it has obstacle avoidance built in. I have the Mini 3 Pro and have that issue, it has to be flat and clear of anything to the sides for at least one meter. If I walk toward it when landing it will scoot away.

[@jeandupont9140]

Good morning , For pliers the Knipex brand is undoubtedly the best of all, the Rolls of the Pliers

[@ShipHappensUK]

Yes they are!

[@Max-gq7ty]

Great progress you two! Keep it going and that foredeck will be completed by the end of summer given a fair wind and good weather!

[@williamjohnson4985]

Well done guys I look forward to every Friday when I get home from work to see how you are getting on.i think you are both amazing 👏

[@Hairnicks]

Love what you two are doing. Hats off to you both.

[@tompena7487]

Love watching both working together.

[@BarrieHarmsworth]

As I have watched this twice I feel I am allowed to comment twice. Just can't wait to see those beams in and the deck on, it will make such a change.

[@KennyP88]

It’s called a story board, in case you haven’t been told yet. Very common when there are many different angles to record.😊 Which as your learning, there are many time it’s needed to cut and fit compound changing bevels on many boards when building a boat.

[@petergardner2334]

you work so well together

[@TheDenman516]

I am taking a educated guess, but from your footage I would say when you were landing the drone a prop hit something. I have many drones including commercial and agriculture and DJI are absolutely one of the best Autel, Vantage Robotics, and DJI are my favorites.

[@DracoFalcon]

Awesome job you two!!

[@emilthiels6256]

Better and better you two, love!
