Home Sweet Home (after 3 months on the hard stand!) - Free Range Sailing Ep 164

[@MaShcode]

Just the change in ambience in the saloon is dramatic with the window upgrade. Brilliant. Truly an amazing transition. She/her coming out splash. 🧚🏻‍♂️

[@pkshome123]

Pascal is a painter, a tailor, a mechanic, and above all a good mariner. Congratulations!!

[@joecucch8261]

She's a Beauty !! And that goes for the boat as well !!

[@peter92103]

From a sparky please please Troy turn those switch mechanism's @ 20:16 up the right way, hahaha.. I shudder at the thought of sideways switches. Fabulous job on the boat guy's your content has been so good throughout the whole rebuild so far.. congrats.

[@whotknots]

That Mirool is a good solid boat with tons of character anybody could be proud of has been abundantly obvious from the start. Naturally your efforts have reflected your affections to the extent that her condition now proclaims them and she is a vessel the most fastidious owner could be proud to call home as well as sail. You have done a terrific job guys and your willingness to share negative as well as positive aspects of restoring an old boat will undoubtedly inspire and be of benefit to many aspirants yet to adopt the cruising lifestyle!

[@mikeloughran5196]

Back on the water where the 2 of you belong and with very nice curtains indeed. All other refit/build channels should binge watch all of Troy's work before starting their projects.

[@jginmt]

A refit that is better than straight out of the factory. I suspect you have the best Clansman in the world now.

[@garyc5483]

Great job on all the projects guys. The curtains are a nice touch. Just a tip :- put the rings on the curtain wire and the hooks in the walls. That way when you pull the wires out to wash the curtains they just slide out without snagging the material. Hope to see you sailing soon. ATB Stay safe. Fair winds & regards from the UK

[@ruthlessronnie2143]

Great job on an old boat , another 50 years of life for you all

[@stashtrey1]

Amazing job on the curtains. They look like the boat came fitted with them from the factory. A+ job!

[@hamishesslemont3705]

She looks absolutely gorgeous - and Mirrool’s not too shabby either ! I reckon you will both be enjoying immense feelings of satisfaction right now, and rightly so 😊👍

[@malcolmrowe1794]

You have both done a fantastic job of the refit. Mirool looks better than new. Troy, you have a fantastic boat and a beautiful girlfriend who is not afraid to get stuck in and work. I have been around long enough to realise that ladies like Pascal don't come along more than once in a lifetime. Take good care of them both!

[@juans3728]

Knowing your yacht is still in it's renovation process you have truly done a miraculous job replacing and explaining , thank you for taking me along . Large windows more brightness less privacy and you are so handy sewing make small curtains for small rods for each window or can you install one way glass to see out yet not in.

[@dw4956]

All that's missing now is a van Gogh on the bulkhead and you got a super yacht.

[@rickfazzini22]

Nice work on those curtains Pascal they belong in curtain magazine as a pullout centerfold ;) , nothing better than creating something from nothing!

[@phillipobrien7365]

You are good at sewing Pasqui, you even know what that thing at the end of the sewing machine is for ! Seriously you both do a really incredible job in everything you tackle. 50 thumbs up.

[@deanie3246]

I think the curtains bring a warmth to the interior that was missing. The timber was lovely however offsetting it with the linen was genius. It s an amazing difference, well done.

[@53Peterbilt]

WOW!! Night and day difference form the way she used to look. Well done indeed!!!

[@jornantrillsark1437]

Hi guys, 2 weeks without you is not like you. I really hope everything is alright with you. Best regards!

[@charlesharper2357]

According to their Facebook page they've left for Perth via South Australia...odd they never told us how long it would be before they post again.

I’m Troy’s sister and yes they’ve started their voyage home. They’ve just posted an update.

[@jornantrillsark1437]

@@rebelevo Great, thanks very much!

[@timvukman4734]

I really appreciate the level of detail that you both provide on your projects. Exactly how it was done!! The curtains are beautiful. The throttle / shift levers was most helpful. I have learned two Rules from your channel... Rule 1 - Don't rush it to get it done. Rule 2 - See Rule 1. Thanks. Very well done!!!

[@popsoldboats3406]

She is now 6 times better than when new. Looking so fantastic.

[@justforfux]

Actually, according to me, just 5.5 times : )

[@TasmanianViking]

The saloon looks so homely and calming. Great information as always.

[@blinddogroofer]

In America, homely means ugly. It looks very nice. Just thought I'd mention the language difference. Nice job on the boat. Love this channel.

[@TasmanianViking]

@@blinddogroofer Thanks, I appreciate that. Yes it is such a difference what one word can mean in many places.

[@dinkaboutit4228]

I don't think this is the most extensive refit I've seen on KZbin, but I do believe it might be the most extensive refit I've seen _concluded_ on KZbin. Congratulations! Now we should start a pool to bet on how long Troy can look at those windows before he makes a template and reroutes them. I'm saying 8 months.

[@quantenschaum]

Super nice! Idea: Instead of using tongue depressors as spacers, squeeze a sausage of the glue/sealant on a piece of wood or metal and let it set. Then cut that thing to small discs as thick as you like your spacers to be. Use these discs as spacers and leave them there, it's the same material.

[@supershane1960]

When we traveled across the Nullarbor in 1969 there was no such thing as window tinting. We travel in a Falcon station wagon, Mum, her brother, 5 children and a dog. Mum made curtains just like that for the back of the car and on the rear doors so it would be more comfortable for us kids and Scotty.

[@dentonearnhardt9891]

It’s looking real nice you two. She is a lucky girl to have you both taking care of her.

[@Crispkingguy]

Those curtains are fantastic! Well done on getting her in the water and for dealing with shoddy manufacturing and design on behalf of the engine lever! Fair wind!

[@rasheedmasthan6779]

Beautiful Boat ♥️👍

[@lancer2204]

Somehow I don't think Mirrool looked this good the day of her launch. Very slick job!

[@garywatson4142]

You can’t beat a woman’s touch on a boat 👍❤️⛵️

[@janecme]

It's been a privilege to watch your refit. Thank you both so much for your hard work - I know it must have been a ball**he most of the time to have to stop to film. Cheers!

[@ejectchamber]

Troy, Great job on the boat and have really enjoyed your series. Regarding the polyester resin/gray material used as filler around the windows. During the 70's sailboat building boom in Southern California, I worked as an interior finish carpenter for Ericson Yachts and Hans Christian. To attach hull battens for ceiling, creating fillets prior to glass bonding, fairing, for all sorts of applications we used a product with the technical name, "mish mash" This was long before micro-balloons, etc. It was catalyzed polyester resin and asbestos fibers. We had 15-20 pound bags of asbestos fibers everywhere and mixed it in 5 gallon buckets with the resin. A 1/2" drill motor with a paddle mixer would create quite the white cloud until all the fibers were wetted out. I would not be surprised if the filler around your windows was mish-mash. When chipping or grinding you might look for the white fibers in the grayish resin. Be careful! Again, great job on a veteran boat. Ed Z.

[@davesmith8286]

Excellent...She is Better than new. What peace of mind that gives a sailor when testing the limits of a boat. Can't wait to see you two out Testing her Limits. Cheers.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

OK, the curtains did it! Now the boat is truly beautiful. Actually love them. I'm not being sarcastic.

[@theoldsailmaker6408]

You look sooo happy talking about your curtains

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

Great, now I have to look at my galley windows and realize how weathered they really are! Bottom paint, remount my sails and I’ll splash in a couple weeks...great job as usual.

[@VAdu56]

Magnificent work carried out according to the rules of the Art ... !! Bravo for all these achievements and refurbishment of your sailboat ... !!

[@gregbolitho9775]

nice work on the curtains, i permanently borrowed you idea with spring curtain wire for my bedroom curtain. although my curtains are 4ft wide an 5ft long, it works, they haven't fallen down yet. thanks for the lessons. 64 years old an still learnin stuff m8s!

[@Tugger4me1]

I am a landlubber but I have to say that is one pretty looking boat, I am so stoked for you 2.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

You two did a wonderful job on redesigning the interior of your boat.

[@donnakawana]

Wow, you both complement each other so well,just as those lovingly sewn curtains complement the whole cabin....I so enjoy your channel an everything y'all do!! ✌❤💪😊❣

[@chicoastro1]

I enjoy listening to people who know more than I do (an immense range of knowledge, admittedly), thank you.

[@patraic5241]

Thank you for showing us the renovation of your home. It's a beautiful job with an absolutely stunning result. Don't sweat any small flaws. We can't tell. 😊 It's like when I'm out playing my guitar. I know where I screw up but my audience never knows.

[@patrickmaloney6440]

Oh man, she looks great now... What an epic job you've done. The interior looks so snug now. Well done 👍👍

[@ronaldwhite5670]

It’s coming together. You both should be very happy and proud of your work. A new lease of life for the lovely ole girl. Enjoy the Tassie weather. I’m at Bathurst, the weather is very unpredictable up here too. Cheers.

Good choice of fabrics. Complements the woodwork. Nice job. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

You guys have done a great job on that refit. Mirrool looks a million dollars.

[@rowlandsailingco.2084]

You two are legends! Refit looks stellar! Craftsmanship is soothing and educational.

[@monsterslayer4317]

Congratulations guys! She's a boat again, and looking fantastic! Better than new with all the pride and confidence in your own work. Almost there, nearly ready to cast off the lines.

[@markjennings2315]

I think the added bolts onto the new windows is a potential leak and stress point onto the polycarbonate. On light aircraft poly carb in used as well and ALWAYS crack and fail around the bolt holes. Bonded only units never crack and any debonding is Cleary seen and give lots of warning. Saying that your attention to detail is amazing and never even hint at being rushed which is unusual on these channels.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Marool is starting to look like your home. Pascale appears to be the happy part. Troy the content satisfied part. 👍

[@almath9987]

Boat is look pucker 👍🏻 well done to you both what a great job and thank for taken us all along and sharing the tips and trick you have used👍🏻👏. Just need to get myself a Pascale to do the finishing touches😁 21 years ago when i met my wife I had just restored my first boat and she made all the cushion covers and two curtains. 3 months after we got married she told me she had done two cusion covers and got a freind of a friend to do the rest😱 Still love her but have had to employ the skills of a seamstress twice now😔😉 Thanks for the video ⛵👍🏻👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@exn207]

04:54 and 20:26 It´s so funny. Bushcraft, outdoor and hiking got really popular here in Germany. On youtube or in other social media there are many experts talking about really good knives. Experts in Germany, the next Town or village mostly is only 1mile away: Opinel an Mora are crab. You need a really good (expensive) Knive for outdoor and survival. Troy and Pasci, sailing around Australia being alone for weeks, rebuilding a sailing boat: Using Opinel and Mora every day.

[@denisebrooks4513]

It's so wonderful the way you always take time to explain why you've decided to do things the way you have - even down to why you made the design decisions for the curtains. And the "how" is always really helpful too. The trick with the curtain wire is great! And those beautiful, light, airy curtains in that warm, but neutral colour, really compliment the space!

[@bryonensminger7462]
