💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the works needed were a lot more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

💙 Massive thanks to our amazing team of carpenters that never let us down and continue to amaze us at every step of the process: Toninho, Zeca, Hélio, Claiton, William, Nezo, Nico, Beto and Luiz. YOU ARE LEGENDS!

Hi Guys, I have been watching your video’s with fascination and just Love them. I look forward to Sunday evenings to catch your next episode. I sometimes wish I was 50 years younger and gone on an adventure like yours. I have been a fan of yours almost since the start, shouting at my TV screen watching you make that massive/dangerous crossing to get to your Shipwright’s and the start of your Re-build. I look forward to my Sunday evenings to catch-up with your next exciting episode. I was sitting here with tears rolling down my face as your poor boat was being ripped apart and BIG HAPPY smiles as it was being rebuilt. It is Sunday morning and so am looking forward to watching your next episode later today. I am a 73 year old (Sentimental) man who spends most of my days watching KZbin on TV especially your rebuild. You Look After yourselves and take Good Care … oh yeah…. Stay SAFE Always. I’m still watching so keep them coming 😊🤗😆🤩👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

My parental Ancestors were ships carpenters. This is different than a shipwright, that works on the hull! Now that you have moved into the fitting out of the boat, it is interesting that we are seeing a different cast of carpenters!

With the fine craftsmanship of your two construction teams, Your finished Yaba will probably a better boat than when it was new. Looking forward to seeing the interior and rigging completed.

[@dannysteel4604]

You have a wonderful team of boat builders… it is a real blessing to follow your journey rebuilding your boat.. I love the way they work together, they don’t have all the newest tool and computerised tools just good old fashion skill and craftsmanship. If I was building a boat I would be proud to have your boat building team working on my boat….. well done

Wow I had no idea what all went into making fancy boat windows. Those All are going to be so beautiful.

[@gardnep]

I’ve read many of the comments about leaking windows and don’t you think that these people in Brazil have a solution we have not thought possible. These shipwrights have been building boats in a tropical area for what appears decades. So let’s wait and see what the solution. Amazing videography MP. Loved a bit of jazz and blues to brighten the day.

[@jgriff3218]

Just a idea. Show off some of there craftsmanship like that boat covered in plastic. It has some beautiful lines. A tour of their work area.

These windows won't keep out water or be strong enough for the waves that come over the side. How will you keep the boat watertight and protect these windows. Perhaps you will create waterproof shutters over the entire window openings.

[@orchidhouse297]

I am stunned by what I saw in this footage. Machines and techniques I had never seen before. Clearly my 1960 woodwork qualification is totally out of date. Big thank you for showing you windows being made. Wow.

[@fknsl1]

Can't quite come up with the words for this one. The Workers here are all top-notch!!! Windows made for the situation!!! All the workers have the full complement of Fingers too! It makes me think about the time before all this stuff came off the shelf, in standard sizes, all looking the same. Great job by all!!!

You need a set of dado blades for that table saw. It would save a lot of cutting...

[@johnmagnan759]

I can't imagine how much time would be saved if y'all had a stacked dado blade for the table saw.

[@mchurch3905]

Agreed on that. Pretty easy to tell wages/time & labor costs are low, otherwise a shaper or router table would cost far less time wise.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Maria Paula and Ben, Nice to see how all the window frames for Yabá are made. We’re positive these frames will look perfect after mounting them on the boat. We wish you and your team lots of success with this finishing of Yabá and wish you as well as your complete family all the happiness of the world and we send you ❤️ from the Netherlands. Best regards, Willeke and Dick de Graaff

[@Jubbe1940]

I have noticed that building Yaba makes some people gain weight.😉

[@dagdamoonbeam]

Beautiful work. I also am concerned with the high possibility of leakage. Sideways winds Squall, hurricane force winds, bow spray. Even just condensation can be an issue I would think. I hope not, but definitely consider it when building the windows.

[@mp6756]

I have said it before and I will say it again the skilled workers allowing Yaba live a new life are amazing. Yaba is certainly not a boat built of modern materials like fiberglass and carbon rather a locally traditional build using methods of a traditional design. That is what I think makes it so unique. Simple things like drilling holes in the window frames are done by eye and from what I could tell are spaced equally within a few millimeters of one another impressive stuff. Stay safe

[@icelandviking1961]

@@mp6756 I’m with Raymond on this the windows will leak. Will it sink it? No. Would it look stupid with round portholes? Yes. So decisions are made based on usage and style. I do hope the don’t use plain glass or cheap plexiglass. Also I don’t think they are going world cruising. I remember something about a dive boat.

[@mp6756]

@@icelandviking1961 Agreed they will leak no doubt about that. I'm fairly confident they are going to rome the coastal waters of Brazil. I hope they don't try crossing the Atlantic with Yaba it's definitely not the right design and with only internal ballast she won't be comfortable on the open ocean. When I say comfortable I mean safe. Brazilian schooners are very popular as charter business hosting tourist and for the two of them on their channel they have a lot of beautiful country to explore and share. Yaba is big enough I'm sure they could sail to the north up the coast without much difficulty. It's a great channel watching the boat take shape with what I would say different than usual construction methods.

[@icelandviking1961]

@@mp6756 Mike, I worked in a boatyard in the 70’s in California. Some of what they do was use on wooden fishing boat then. It was cheaper but not unsafe. The marine growth will be harder than anything else. Remember a boat starts sinking the day you put it in the water.

[@jackrichards1863]

Thanks for the commentary MP . As fine a hostess as Roberta. Such a tiring process to make these precise sashes and frames. As Ben said it is beginning to get more interesting, which going by the material will be very attractive.

[@jamesvanian5524]

Such precision these guys work towards. They know how to make the most of the machinery they have and it's a pleasure to watch. Fitted and finished correctly these windows will give many years service and I look forward to seeing them fitted in. Keep well and safe. James.

Ótimo conteúdo, um abraço de Angra dos reis!

[@MarcelEling]

Nice to make a video about how it works.

[@FlyingConey]

Just a small tip. Make a lip above each window. That prevents them from leaking most of the time. I think you know that your boat will only be suitable for coastal cruising and that's fine. But be aware that leaking windows are a serious problem on a wooden boat!

[@brian.7966]

I think it's more serious if the hull leaks.

[@FlyingConey]

@@brian.7966 🤣 Good one if you are referring to my little leaking problem ⛵️ But I can tell you I have experience with leaking windows as well. 😂 Fortunately we don't have a wooden boat. But you would be surprised how fast fresh water can cause damage on wood. It's a matter of a few month.

[@srcastic8764]

@@FlyingConey I don’t think they have a clue it’s just a coastal cruiser. From comments they’ve made, I think they believe they’re going to travel the world in this thing. Hopefully they’ll figure it out sooner rather than later.

[@mobilixone1575]

@@brian.7966 Wrong! It is normal for a wooden boat to have a leaking hull. This it what bilge pumps are for! If you have leaking windows the wood will rot in a few weeks due to sweet water!

[@Madiba100]

I think they should seal them shut and waterproof them with Sika!

[@franksmith3602]

Hey , you guys... You might want to make a hope chest in your apt. Build at least 2 extra wood window frames, and save them for repairs. In 10 years wood of that ki d may not be easy to get or will surely cost a hell of alot more., I would vacuum seal the wood parts in a food saver bag, So 10 or 20 years it's still dry and good. Any, key part, you can make a extra one, do it now and save it at your house. Even the spindles, made out of wood break .

[@nicobogaard2315]

Het meest opvallende is dat de vaklieden werken met machines die hier in Nederland beschikbaar zijn voor hobbyisten. De tafelzagen zijn op zijn best geschikt als bouwplaatszaag, de schaafmachine(Makita) is op zijn best een midden kwaliteit hobby+ machine. Alleen de ‘jointer’ vlakbank ziet er redelijk ‘pro’ uit. Toch worden er grootse dingen mee gedaan. De rasp voor de eindafwerking vertelt alles. Vakmanschap, ik vermoed door ervaring. Mooi werk!
