I've got a CD28 that I've owned since 1993. But, I took it out of the water in 2002, on a trailer that I modified, to build my house. Unfortunately, my boat never made it back in the water. Still sitting on its trailer in my back yard. I've kept it covered so it is still in good condition. But thanks to your videos I've committed myself to get it back in shape and back in the water. Your videos have given me allot of good ideas and motivation. Thanks Sam

It's so refreshing to see that competition is not the main goal in life- kudos to you Sam

[@brianbarnes7774]

Oh my gosh!! The color You mixed is just beautiful!! I cannot wait to see the Pickled Herring all done. I was thinking while watching this, that some people that own Boats never do one third of the work you have done to their boat. Great job, Sam. Your boat is going to look awesome!

[@dylanashley246]

Yessss. I was thinking the same thing

[@NGC1433]

Working on a boat and sailing are two separate hobbies. I have no idea why would you think participating in both is a necessity or even anything of noteworthiness. Why anyone not doing a third of Sams work to their boat would be a valuable information? I know a couple of people who work on their boats for decades and never had them in water. One doesn't even plan on putting one in the water.

[@brianbarnes7774]

@@NGC1433 wow. You tead so much into what i said. Why so butthurt about a simple comment on youtube anyway? Dude, seriously. I meant no offense, and im sorry if i bruised your ego. SMH

[@NGC1433]

@@brianbarnes7774 You are funny... You did not bruise anything. I am just genuinely curious how your logic works. Of course there are people who never do any work on their boats. There are people who buy boats for hundreds of millions of dollars and never even bother to visit them once. Not even thinking of doing anything on them, even bringing the trash out of there. So what? Then on the other part of spectrum there are people who build beautiful boats from scratch, from ground up and never sail them, just sell. World is full of people and boats and all sorts of different interactions between them happen. I am really glad we have awesome dudes like Sam here. But we also have awesome dudes like the owner of megayacht Dilbar, who I doubt has done anything to his boat personally, but he has done amazing stuff like bought a rare WW2 medal at an auction for several million dollars(most of the proceeds went to charity) and gave that medal back to the veteran right there on the spot. And donated hundreds of millions of US dollars to corona research. I don't get it, how working or not working on your boat some proportion of somebody other working on their boat contains any valuable information? Somebody cannot imagine their life without getting paint and resin all over themselves, somebody just loves sailing so much that they will sacrifice their entire life to overcoming hurdles that arise from small budget, somebody chooses to spend the time with their family and support immigrants by paying them for their work. It's zero sum.

[@brianbarnes7774]

@@NGC1433 I feel the need to apologize, even tho i said nothing offensive. I meant it as a compliment to Sam, and his skillset pertaining to maintaining his Boat. This dialogue has gone far enough. Can we just agree that this is a great channel, and that the guy has a genuine love of sailing? I was never offended by what you said. Please extend me the same courtesy.

It was great to see you out on the water last Saturday. I am a fan of your channel and it was exciting seeing you in person. So excited that I yelled your name at waived at you before the start of the race! There is a gorgeous shot of the boat I crewed on (with me waiving at you again!) at minute 11:04!
