Family Buys $2500 Old YACHT and Renovates it Back to New | Start to Finish by

[@dr.kennethnoisewater26]

Worked on crabbing boats half my life and spent the other half as a marine contractor. In my opinion, buying a boat to fix up is one of the worst ideas most people can have. You need money to burn to do this properly and your boat will never be worth what you put in. If you have a special boat/hullI can see why you would do this. Otherwise just get something in good shape. Every boatyard has an old boat back in the weeds for 10 years they’d be excited to give you (or sell you if you’re slow) but that doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. All that being said, I wish these folks the best with their vessel

Chapeau! Many years ago I made my dream of owning my own steel yacht come true by constructing one myself but having the hull built by a shipyard. Since I liked my plans, I received it at a very low price with the condition that the shipyard was allowed to continue building it. When the bowl arrived, I found slightly rusty spots under the primer and had everything sandblasted on the inside and sanded everything on the outside. It took me 16 months for corrosion protection, painting, interior work, marinization of 2 diesel engines and all the technology.

I have had the pleasure of discussing and meeting sailors and workers in the marine industry who explained me a few things about restoring a boat. My father owns a 13 meters Bavaria sailing yacht in the south of France and I sailed a lot with him the past 20 years. It is indeed hard work to maintain a sailing boat and it requires a lot of attention!

[@MusicforMe123]

This is probably harder than building the yacht from scratch. What a beautiful restoration on this yacht, much respect for all the hard work they put into this vessel. A smooth sea never made a great sailor. Happy sailing, you deserve every inch of that horizon.

[@krzysztofzygmunt4740]

You have probably never done that. Rebiulding the old yacht is always much easier and a lot cheaper then building a new one. The only difference is, that buying a new one cost you a lot of money, rebuilding on the other hand takes a lot of your time and requires a lot of practical skills. If you cannot do it yourself, better buy a new one...

[@Craigregister000]

I learned years ago you can either make enough money to buy whatever you wanted new or you could learn how to take something old and make it as good or better than new and like this couple I chose the latter and became very good at it through the years I have refined my abilities to near perfection, and when a project is done, you look back and become proud of your abilities. Then it becomes an addiction after that is a large scrapbook of completed projects. They will love this vessel far more than a brand new one and on a sidenote, it makes a hell of a conversation piece

[@sofismamaior]

How envious (without malice) of this couple. For the challenge of restoring an old yacht and making it seaworthy again, working even in the cold. Another thing that impressed me was the fact that the boat had so many metal parts to scrape, cut, weld and paint. At first I thought it was all made of fiberglass, but they only used this to finish the internal parts. I wanted to know if they had any experience in shipbuilding. Magnificent work 👏👏👏

I have been following the Sailing Melody channel for a few years now and Andy, Mellissa and Jack have now upgraded to a larger yacht, which they are restoring and adapting. The larger boat was needed due to the arrival last year of Oliver. They are in the pocess of selling Melody, if not already sold. And are preparing to set sail around the world in the next few weeks aboard their new and renamed yacht Ocean Melody.

Good idea if you want a money pit. I worked on commercial vessels for 30 years, as an engineer I can tell you the cost to repair is high. Shipyards charge a lot for dry docks. Not to mention anything marine related cost 5 times more. If steel isn’t stripped all the way and treated rust will return in a matter of weeks. Sandblasting the entire hull would save time and money then cutting all the rot out. Audio gauge the hull and sea if it’s worth repairing.

Paint looks great till the rust starts coming through again. Should use a sandblaster for a job like this. Do it by the m2. Blast a m2, then paint it before the humidity gets on the metal, then repeat etc. Once you have that base you are home free and it will last SO much longer !

[@rockyrowlands3652]

Fantastic video. Questions: Before starting your project did you have knowledge, experience in boat repair or maintenance? - Also, when you painted the boat did you use any primer or red lead over the metal structure?

[@pappaken1]

Why didn't you sandblasting it instead of grinding it? It's way more effective and the result is great. After that u blow away the dust, leftovers "" and clean it. Then it's ready for the reparations and priming and finally paint quite fast. I've done that with a boat like that and the sandblasting took me about 13 hours on the outside but then it was all clean from paint and rust. However, you did a great job and it was fun to watch so thank you for sharing 🙌👍👍
