Our Boat
2008 Beneteau 49
3 cabin 2 head
4JH4-TE
Westerbeke generator
Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage
Here's what we think we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See • We Buy a SALVAGE SAILB... for how we came to own her!

Fellow pilot wife here. I found myself grinning watching you guys work through take off. I too have such a weird language that I have no working knowledge of! 😂 I really love coming to watch your progress every week or so!

[@schtoopid]

To be honest, I started watching and will continue to watch because this does not feel like a "production" with an audience. I feel like you talk to us like you're hanging out with us talking about your boat work and adventures. Keep it humble please!

[@MOVIEGUY2019]

I appreciate your attention to detail practicing your take offs while traveling. I was an aircraft mechanic for 21 years spending many hours on the tarmac testing engines. It brought back many fond memories. Interesting so, a few month ago I graduated with a B.S. Degree in Digital Cinematography and am getting ready to launch my own KZbin channel creating movie shorts. Love your Channel... Keep it up...

I know how exhausting the constant boat work can be (based on renovating a 100 year old house) so I am glad you have a change of scenery, even though you are working just as hard. Hopefully you can get back to the boat refreshed and able to power through the last of the hull work.

Hey guys: great great videos!!! very informative and for all of us who allready are working on a project or maybe looking into one it's great to see how you're taking a broken delaminated hull to a cruising vessel!!!! I would just have one question: do you have chartering in mind when your boat is ready for sailing? My question pertains to the size of this sailboat and don't get me wrong, from experience I know a boat is always to big at dock (think expenses and maintenance fees) but always too small at sea but 49 feet is mighty big for two...... thanks for your work

BQE, The Brooklyn Promenade is a beautiful park. Absolutely the best view of southern Manhattan. You would never know the BQE ran under it. You should visit the park at night time. It is a very romantic walk. No lights in the park makes it more romantic. Also the view of Manhattan isn't spoiled by lights.. I have been there many times. My brother-in-law used to live 2 blocks away.

Hi, I have enjoyed your channel and can’t wait to see you two enjoy all the hard work when you start sailing. Hey, I know it’s too late, but there is a tool called a gel coat peeler that is electric and you hook up a vacuum to it. So if you have more large sections to repair, look into it. Take care. 😎👍

I'm going to make a wild-ass guess and say Dash-8

[@Jasmine-mh7kc]

[@chad1755]

Hahaha yeah that's me. Only thing I could glean is it's a turboprop, so I'm going with either a Beach 1900 or Dash 8.

[@wizardgmb]

@@chad1755 If you go back to the first or second vlog, you will find a picture of an ATR-42 twin turboprop in Ohana by Hawaiian livery that is operated by Empire Airlines. The question is will he go back to the ATR-42 or is he moving up the food chain. 12 days of simulator training seems like a lot for a plane he has already flown. Also, will the recent Covid-19 uptake put him out of work again?

[@PeterKNoone]

I can't believe I actually enjoy watching Jade do time-lapse cleaning and laundry......but I do :)

[@rberkel1]

I love you guys stamina to go through all of this to make the dream reality. Great job. Recently saw a tool that could have saved you guys a lot of work: a gel coat peeler. Would it have been possible to use a gel coat peeler?

[@karllewis735]

Utterly off-topic, re: Flight Simulator Training. So, once, years ago, I was sitting at EWR waiting on my flight to Boston, and two pilots were fixing to deadhead up to Boston on the same flight I was taking, and they were talking about their training. One explained that he was having some troubles getting qualified for "the jets" because he was having troubles with the landings. (I presume these were TurboProp pilots.) Anyway, you really don't want to tell the flying public you're having troubles with landings. I mean, you can't take off, fine. I'll drive. But once we're up in the air, I'm really counting on your being able to, you know, *ace* the landing. Happy training. I can't wait to see how the boat goes back together.

If Brett is a commercial pilot, does he think that getting a Drone Pilot's Cedf would help your adventures? OK Jade yohars CORONAVIRUS locked down. But, you can still explore a bit when Brett is studying. When the two of you Laugh, it recharges my goofiness battery ! If you are in a metropolitan area. I am sure there might be a few treasures to be had. A year ago, I went thrift store shopping and picked up a decent anchor for my rowboat for ten bucks. Thrifting also netted me a passable metal detector. If you are near Water lessons ( sailing, SCUBA, etc ) . might also be available. ALWAYS GREAT POSTS.

[@23aviatorguy]

I was trying to guess what type of aircraft Brett is training for. I heard “auto feather” so it must have a propeller and it rotates at 60kts. So I’m guessing Brett will be flying a Dash-8, ATR-42 or a Caravan. Anyway great videos I enjoy watching them!!

[@jeffb1269]

as a fellow pilot I'm curious where and what he flies also

[@tlevans62]

@@jeffb1269 me too.

[@phantumdrummer]

I think you're right on the types of possible aircraft. I'm thinking he's flying for a cargo feeder outfit. One that people use to build hours before getting qualified for an actual airline. Right now I don't know of any commuter airline that would allow you to have a man bun or beard for that matter. Only those that don't fly passengers can get away with what the airlines call "reduced grooming standards".

[@chad1755]

I don't think it would be a Caravan as singles don't need autofeather. And the 60kts would be the airspeed alive call, not rotating at 60kts, so that doesn't really give anything away there. I'm going with a Beech 1900, or Dash-8. But I don't think we even know if he's flying airlines or corporate, so it could also be a King Air of some variety.

[@jeffb1269]

if the 60 call is like my 80 call its the abort for anything call after 80 till v1 we only abort for engine failure, fire, loss of directional control or we think it won't fly (some other red or yellow message...) but there was also a 'safe altitude' call which was new to me, we call 1000' for second segment climb profile, so it doesn't really sound/feel airline-ish but who knows...
