How to save $25,000 in the boat yard. Sailing Vessel Delos - Ep. 204

Hell Delos Tribe! WE'RE BACK!!!! 835 hours of HARD LABOR, that’s how! This is Boat Work in Exotic Places in its truest fashion! After 4 months of visiting family and exploring Iceland and the Svalbard we finally return home, back to Delos in Grenada. We get to work straight away by creating a Boat Work To Do list with all the tasks we need to get her ship-shape and back in the water where she belongs. Our major tasks involve repainting the bottom, fixing our bow thruster, and grinding the keel back to bear metal and building back all the layers. Working 10 hours days we go step by step through all the jobs to give a taste of what a major haul out is like for Delos and her crew.

KZbin should pay you LARGE for making this content for them…This is BBC Earth quality.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

Incredible job getting Delos back in shape, guys. You saved a ton of money. Can't believe you went to Svalbard sailing with 59 North. That's crazy! Can't wait to see the series 😁.

[@mickmccrohon]

It scared the bjesus out of me when the bow thruster dropped! Lucky no one got hurt. Awesome to have you all back safely. And what amazing adventures you had away from Delos!

[@rackemwells]

KaZAAAAAAAA!!!! you're looking at the lens, you're looking at the gosh danged camera LENS!!!! Finally! Your eyes are so lovely.

[@sailingaurora5356]

Def like boat work episodes. Its funny that I actually miss this kind of work.

[@davep5788]

I am very excited by the news of the northern sailing series. Can't wait!

[@KirilDobrev]

Its gonna be worth the wait Dave!

[@darrenfolkes2676]

Leesir you glow girl The Delos Story absolutely rocks and i love it but YOU girl are so so so funny Bring back the Lees

[@rebelmusikworldwide9749]

yes i agree

[@darrenfolkes2676]

😃

[@lisahopf5384]

hehehe - thank you! ☺️

[@2Qwk2C]

It is so so good to have you back again. Brian, the biggest change is you. You have lost so much weight you're almost not you anymore!!!! Almost half of you perhaps. Kazza, Alex and Brady, you all look so much more alive and switched on!!!! Oh - you do as well Brian, the skinnier version of you tho lol. You all need to invent deck exercises that are fun to do; to keep you fit and healthy. Congratz Kazza and Brian on your engagement - have you made a date yet? More important - are you going to share it with us before or after the wedding. Maybe to satisfy all your fans, a live feed on the day? And last but not least - LEESIR, it was so very good to see you again, you need to come back and do a few more days/weeks/months with the crew.......seriously!!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas and a very Happy New Year :)

[@kevinduddy2286]

LEEESIR !!!!;;. PLEASE COME BACK !!!!!! MISS U SO MUCH !!!!! It's the time of the year for me to be on the ice and in my shack !!!!! All of you and your adventures and episodes that you post makes my shack a tropical paradise no matter the temperature outside !!!!! Thank u all for making me and alot of us out here into ur family !!!!!!! And love u LEEESIR !!!!!!!!!

[@qaannat]

I'm only 5:04 in, but this is hands down one of the bestestez SV Delos epis evar. Word.

[@derekfreeman6888]

Welcome back Delos!!!!!! Can't wait for what comes next!!!!!

[@johnnicolson467]

Still the best sailing channel on Utube.

[@glbligliliyglihglig]

No better way to learn about sailing then the way you are doing it ------ Hands On

[@jackterry7664]

That dent puller is a awesome idea! True "backyard mechanic" idea!

[@rahdaswami2452]

Sure like these reconditioning videos. There's a lot to be said for taking the time to bring things back to as close as you can to their original condition. Time well spent. Brings back the old days of building engines and the tricks Brian was talking about are seriously a cool thing, cause the money you can spend on special tools designed for seals and bearings can really add up. The corroding and breaking of the clamps are an example of cheap and very thin plating on the hose clamps that you run into when having to use parts that are not from trusted manufacturers.

[@shannonstone865]

Omg! 😮Blue I’m so glad you didn’t get squished when that big chunk of boat fell ❤!

[@trespire]

Fantastic team work a real pleasure to see how the tribe work together, learned something new. Delos is looking good. Congratulations to the both of you.

[@mike9205]

You were in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico!!!!!! My family has had a presence there for about 40 years and we still have a house there. My sister even had her wedding there. Ahhhhhhhh, San Carlos.

[@danielyount9812]

Leesir popping in at the end. Kudos to her and her editing skills. Have been working to finish the bottom of my boat currently,hope to get it in the water in a week or two. Now busting my butt putting on the gelcoat layers. I had to epoxy my keel a lot as well. does make you feel good seeing the smooth results. Now on to next episode to see what top coat you use. Also, saw the logo, excellent touch. Will be custom painting mine when I get a chance. The things you can do when doing the work yourself. Also, cool(literally) tip about the epoxy hardening duration, by using ice. Also, saw the boat shop in the background , huge plus when working on a boat to get it in the best shape.

[@Rock_the_Boat]

Great video. All the work needed on our boat we do ourselves. Glad to see you guys are so hands on. Makes us appreciate your videos so much more.

[@madal55]

Cool to see the boatyard repairs and the cost breakdown. With all your work, it's still a great return for your efforts. Good job.

[@rjlundeen]

Treasured times. Enjoy the moment, as it can be taken in a moment; don't ask how I know. Congrats on the announcement.

[@tristanmiller9571]

Kiril and Lisa are my two favourite people that have been on Delos. So happy to see them both in this video and hope to see more of them in the future!!

[@SoupyOatmeal]

Great video , watching these videos is so easy on the eyes and brain. The video flows so smooth that I sit back , relax and for the running time I am transported to another place called Sailing SV Delos. Thank you for all the work it takes.

[@kevinswanson3910]

Take a holiday from your sailing job to go sailing ,now that's dedication.

[@Oldbass40]

I started watching your channel less than 2 weeks ago and have watched at least 15 videos so far. Really enjoying it!

[@loyalndfan13]

I love boat yard episodes and seeing what it really takes to maintain delos!

[@Shadseaweed]

Thank you for talking about money and really showing people what things cost

[@bertfarin8755]

Man Brian, I won't lie...I have a crazy man-crush on your mechanical skills and your willingness to tear into seemingly complex systems. I can only dream of being as self sufficient as you. Thank you.

[@spiritrider3348]

The universe is smiling upon Delos!😘☺

[@tonyrome3119]

your maintenance and repair segments are orchestrated superbly, and quite educational

[@walterzaremba3866]

So glad your back!

[@dougnorthcote3420]

Fantastic as always. Talk about getting to know everything about Delos, from the keel up. Wow. I was surprised it was ONLY a saving of 25k, I'd have said even more than that! Great video like usual. Looking forward to next weeks new paint and all the rest of the cold water sailing stuff as well!

[@dougford5691]

GREAT VIDEO. You and the crew did a excellent job. As you said "it is done right" !!! Look forward to seeing Delos finished.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

Thank you for sharing all the maintenance you did on Delos before putting her back in the water. It really adds an element of reality to sailing offshore for years.

[@drrr1040]

Love this episode, only found your channel a little while go about to go back and watch the early years. But having been a racing sailor for over 50 years now and remembering back over my boating years which started with a family sailboat rental on the east coast as our family had one of the only swagging tools out side of Annapolis MD. I started custom rigging small one design boats at the young age of 11 even did a little repair on a tall ship that docked in the harbor as a teenager. But over the many years of my life I have owned fiberglass shops. Can not count number of times turned into a smurf (little blue guy) sanding repairing and painting boat bottoms ( good job using protective gear) Love your channel and all your adventurers. Be safe keep the technical and repair videos coming sure a lot of people learn what it is to keep boat safe and healthy.

[@stephanerougier9339]

Welcome back guys, love to all

[@mikerogers9711]

Soooo Happy you’re back on the boat. Great information. Get back on the water 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bigredinfinity3126]

That slide hammer trick is awesome !!!! Also i have not watched you guy for a while .I preffer these types of videos as it shows the reality of owning a yacht

[@khyvich]

Kazza, your face just lit up when you were in Sweden. Not that you ever didn't look happy but you really just lit up.

[@raythompson5920]

Happy that Kirrill and Lisa were able to connect while you were all together in Sweden, have been wondering how they have been doing since leaving Delos!

[@patrickgardner396]

You guy make these videos look so easy!

[@mackagerton4860]

Finally Delos’s is back

[@almarkham3470]

Great video, truly one of the best and so perfect when really nice people who enjoy each other as well as having similar life goals decide to get married. Merry times are ahead for all of you. Enjoy!

[@Glenacus]

doing all that work yourselves, not only saves money, but gives you a better understanding of the boat and certainly increases the bond you have with your vessel........well done guys, very well done

[@mojo6706]

I'm a huge fan of boat maintenance, upgrades and prepping for adventure. It's great to see the crew's enthusiasm coming back to Delos. This will be a great season! Kiril and Lisa involved with camera and editing, expert level content!!

[@keebearfull]

thanks for ALL the vid work on top of ALL the boat work. You are frugal with $$$$$ therefore we tribe ppl can be enthused to give more of our $$ to support the crazy great amazing Delos Project ! and 3 cheers each for Leesir and Kiril.

[@bradtaylor6415]

Great video! I would rather watch SV Delos than anything on TV. I love your channel and can't wait for more!

[@retiredinbali9565]

After a hard, sweaty day of dirty work, you still can't shower and clean-up until you travel to your friends house on the other side of the island. You guys are real troopers. Great video.

[@jumper2079]

Congratulations you two!! It's about darn time Brian!!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

My heart is exploding with love for the Delos crew.💓 The montage of your travels✈, the engagement💍👫, family meet-ups(great to finally see Blu's parents)👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 , members of Delos Tribe helping out👍, the list and thrill of accomplishment moving a task to the completed column📃, teamwork 💪, Leesir and Kiril 🤸‍♀️, and the anticipation for new adventures this season will bring with the joining in holy matrimony of our beloved Captian Breeyawn and Kazza.🤵 👰🥂

[@handlebar105]

Delos, this was your all time best video! Thank you. All the best :)

[@theogdirkdiggler]

So excited

[@tomwilliams8675]

You guys are amazing. By far the best group of people who also sail out there. Every Delos tribe member has sparkles in their eyes and a huge heart complements of the gift all you give them while they travel along with you. Brian and crew, thanks for taking me along. I can't wait to get back on the water.

[@papocintron6420]

Great to see you guys are back, we missed you 🇵🇷

[@vinseeuri]

Congratulations, Bryan and Kassa!!! God bless your union!!!

[@whitefam2000]

Nice to see Leesir still keeping in touch with you guys.

[@sirlandsalot]

This is very helpfull, We are a young family that just bought an older 48’ ketch in BC. its in good shape, we are skiers and don’t know what we are doing. We just figured enough planning lets do it......so here we are.........sweet lord in over our heads. I would do anything to have a coffee with you, I have barley sailed, so ketching is a lot. I am starting work this spring, I have a big list, but most of it I can do myself, but with a 4 and 7 year old boys, my wife is busy keeping those goobers under control.

[@onvacation9604]

8:36 I remember one of the older episodes with getting the boat ready for sailing, Brian was able to put the scrum board on the wall in the back, now there are so many pictures of your friends all over the world! AMAZING! So many great stories and shared experiences. Thank you! Loving your show!

[@Nerd3927]

This is what I like! If I ever was to spend a month at Delos I would prefer the Yard over partying at the beach any time :-)

[@fifich6953]

Excellent team!..and team work! An example to follow, great to see you back on S/V Delos ⛵🙌👍💞......

[@scottpetrone6284]

Strangely enough this has been one of my favorite videos I can appreciate the work that is needed on a vessel such as yours. Nice to see Miss Austria is back! Bravo Zulu!

[@MrReddok]

You made me smile in Washington DC today! It’s strange..... Leesir smiles much the same way I do when I watch Delos Videos.

[@waranle961]

This guy has wealth of knowledge

[@MalloyUnfiltered]

2019 is looking golden.

[@rebelmusikworldwide9749]

oh my mates.. kiril and leesir just made my day.. so happy to see the two best delos family return to your videos... love you leesir.. island boy says that.

[@aeroegnr]

It's incredible seeing you guys build up a real crew like this and take care of everything on the boat. I love it.

[@leekarr5044]

That was an awesome DIY undertaking. Looking forward to the next part. Thanks!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Iceland - what a great "stop over" on your way to Sweden ! Under a cat is a great work shop !

[@mikebiron7339]

Welcome back DELOS!!! You were greatly missed.

[@trespire]

Hose clamps come in several designs, there are a few designs that incorporate a worm screw, some are more prone to failure. Be careful not to over tighten, stainless clamps tend to break easier than steel ones. One trick is to wrap hose with 2 or 3 layers of black electricians tape where the clamp will "bite". There are also spring clamps (need a special pliers) but the best are barrel clamps. Last for ever.

[@blueboats7530]

You guys do such a good show, even doing boat chores. I forgot I was supposed to do laundry tonight, I think I got caught up in the sense of accomplishment watching this video and I was done for the evening!

[@blok5555]

Always great to do the ironing watching Delos... 5 more work shorts equals 5 days closer to upping sticks and sailing the world Delos style!!

[@MichaelKahle]

My favorite Delos episodes are the ones where you guys work. Cheers!

[@gras4744]

I think you need to bring Leesir back on the boat. She is always up for adventure. Not saying the rest of you aren't but there is just something about her. Very cool and down to earth. Oh, and I loved the video. Can't wait to see your northern adventures. And congratulations on the engagement. Keep on sailing.

[@SuperJupiter9]

When your epoxy is mixed you can spread it on a flat surface to slow the curing time, also imho, I would open the cracks with a grinder disk and fill it with thickened epoxy and then glass over before everything cures. Great channel guys!

[@TraneFrancks]

Great to see the new season about to kick off.

[@razzorbladz]

MAN I HAVE BEEN HANGING FOR A DELOS VID!!!!! the other 15 wanna be delos channels just don't give me the fix with the exception of free range sailing you 2 are the best and you guys both went on a holiday from youtube

[@derickparsons1188]

Back in the game!!!!!

[@jackwmoody]

I like how you blocked the screen with projects and revealed the splash when they all got done! Nice editing.

[@sxtn102]

I REALLY liked this episode!!! When you include us in the work and difficulties of maintaining things, it makes the energy more real, and ya really feel the love that gets put into proper care of the boat/home! I've watched other channels where they just throw money at it, making the boat just feel like a tool and there's just no love or connection. Plus it's really interesting to see how these things are done and the kinds of things that can go wrong. Thanks for sharing all this!! Lynn

[@skyhawk551]

i love the project videos, it's also great that you are open about the costs involved

[@joesphbest3120]

Love you guys, I always keep you in my prayers. Good sailing.

[@낙법고수]

What a great epic you have been writing! You guys make me a young boy again!

[@sailingadventuress5489]

Task board for the win! Making work visible makes a huge difference in motivation and focus. Nice work!

[@michaelnardmann3208]

As a SCRUM Master i am very proud of you.

[@phillipsanchez4192]

This is one of the most interesting episodes of all. Brian always shows us the variety of things that break on a boat during passages and when Delos is moored, but to see what you put up with out of necessity, acknowledge in the moment, and shove to the back of your mind until the time come when you can get it done is really interesting. The camaraderie that develops when people do work like that together and then sail together must be great. Kiril is one interesting guy. Not only does he work on editing for many videos from South Africa, he also joins the crew for some of the hardest work that will done all season. It doesn't look like he will be sailing with the crew to enjoy the spoils of his labour either. He is in an amazing place, though. I lived on Vietnam for five years up in the Hanoi area. It is a magical country.

[@chrissivers4981]

Really like the last two episodes of boy work. Interesting to see all the work.

[@Bigjobrob]

Great teamwork. Great episode!

[@M747022]

Delos projects are my fav

[@stevenburgess4272]

Can't believe I just watched a video of boat repair work during my lunch...and repeated sections of it just to better understand...only the Delos Crew could make this an educational episode so entertaining ...good to see that Brian is gonna make honest woman out of Kazza... loved it and looking forward to you guys getting your sea legs back :)

[@melcrose]

Thanks for the edit LEEESIR!

[@leoncarpenter958]

Love seeing lisa back

[@patvaillancourt5713]

WHOOOOHOOOO LEEESIR GIRL HILOW!!!!!!!

[@dianeswift]

Love love love seeing Leesir. Excellent documentary on your travels, maintenance.

[@trespire]

A note to Cpt. Brian and the team : When handling composite materials, please always wear a face mask rated at FFP3 to protect your air ways, & impervious gloves as part of your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). When working with carbon fiber we were instructed to wear 2 pairs of high quality thick latex gloves. Glass fibers might not be as dangerous as carbon fibers, but good OSHA practices can save from health issues.

[@50mustard]

Leesir!!! There you are.

[@mathisj6582]

Yeeeeeeeeeah. Svalbard edit. I love you ppl. Tnx! Regards from Norway.

[@JasVmitten]

fantastic...i could watch this for hours on end

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

Yay! Delos is back for another season! And I have to say, the crew looks awesomely relaxed after their well deserved 4 month vacation. Looking good guys and gals. Fantastic episode, “I like it, I like it ALOT!”

[@waynemcphail7825]

Excellent video, really shows your love for DELOS. Job well done.

[@familyupgrade]

I cant belive its been 2,5 years! And it is finally out!

[@craig_ramjet990]

I actually missed seeing everyone. Glad to have you all back. Congrats to the newlyweds! I've always wanted to go to Iceland so thanks for the beautiful video of that. We decided to pull the trigger and make that trip happen next spring. I'm even renewing my SCUBA certification but I'm on the fence getting into the cold water. So 2019 is gonna be big. May it be a beautiful year for you guys as well. While you are in Grenada. Go see the Ranger memorial. My little brother fought there. He was an Airborne Ranger and parachuted into Point Salinas and fought the Cubans there in the early 1980's. Peace, be careful and have fun! CT
