It took a while for us to make this decision - Sailing Yabá #32

[@OliverCastlee]

Neso is how I imagine noah from the ark looked ! Awesome looking human !

[@robertdonnelly434]

I must say that you two have taken on a massive project; both in terms of the work needed, and more important, from the skills required to accomplish it. What has been done, so far, MUST be far more than you had both hoped, BUT the results will last for decades. I also must add that the incredible skills, and craftsmanship your rebuild crew possess, is astounding. Together, you are, IMO, virtually rebuilding Yada, leaving very little of the old structure, but ALL of the charm, and beauty, of a wood schooner in place. Given what I fear those costs could be here, your investment would be unfathomable. Big shout out to your team there!! Cheers from here, 135km north of Toronto in Canada...

[@adammallerman8153]

Watching Yaba being rebuilt remindsl me of the skit in the British sitcom "only fools and horses" when the road sweeper character claims he's been using the same broom for twenty years. But when they question him, he's changed the brush and broomstick many times so there's nothing left of the original broom.

[@kevine.phillips7578]

It’s not getting old for us at all! It’s exciting to watch. The craftsmanship is astounding. M.P.’s smile is seen in her eyes when she has her mask on! Excellent episode guys! We’re excited for you. Closer and closer! Terri & Kevin

[@SailingYaba]

That's so sweet!! Thank you Terri & Kevin for being so loving!

[@saulzain1957]

Remember to paint the raw wood before bolting it or nailing it to your outboard planks! It's important that raw wood doesn't touch any raw wood or you'll be doing this again in a few short years! Happy Sailing!

[@jwhite2847]

I agree. It doesn't get old. Watching these craftsmen build this boat from raw lumber is very interesting.

[@mikeframpton9009]

Your shipwrights made a masterful job of that stern plank. So many complicated angles. They made it look easy.

[@robingale1015]

An amazing transformation. Gives me pause to any thought of getting a wooden boat. At some point, wouldn't it have been cheaper to just build a boat from scratch? I hope when the project is all done, Ben & MP give us an update on total rebuild cost.

[@ninja1antelope]

These boat builders are geometric masters!

[@SailingYaba]

Indeed!!

[@kennethd.cooper5252]

Don't want the episode to end, I look forward to every Sunday. I like the ceiling without the plywood. It looks great. As always be safe stay healthy.

[@SailingYaba]

We sure are!! Thank you!!

[@extremelydave]

All these weeks later it still amazes me how "the boys" get all the things done in the proper order to get this huge project done. They are true craftsmen.... they are basically building the boat with the original boat as a pattern!!! It's hard to believe it's starting to look like a real boat again....

[@meadmaker4525]

The cabin ceiling looks a lot better without the plywood, with the exposed beams and planking. Maybe consider leaving it like that. Nice to see the project coming along. Now for the real question. What color are you going with once the hull is done? Are you keeping the original blue, or are you gonna change it up with something different?

[@wilsondominguez9906]

Great to sea old school boat building Those guys working on the boat are true masters I would totally build a boat with that crew 👍👍🎉🎉👍😃

[@MiQBohlin]

Love the bossa in between. For giving the Brass vibe again. MP you have more energy than all the KZbin sailing channel girls together. 💪🏽

[@kathylanham5954]

Although I agree the exposed ceiling beams and decking look more nautical and is probably the was the boat was built. I see two problems with the open ceiling. First the insulation issue, second is a dark ceiling makes the room seem lower and darker. You also have to find a place to conceal your services, piping, electrical, control wiring, duct work or mechanical piping. You guys are true craftsmen. Really interesting to watch them reproduce your boat a piece at a time.

I think the ceiling looks better without that plywood on.

[@robertsanders3213]

Totally agree better leaving it off and varnishing!👍

We totally agree guys! We are planning on keeping it that way (after some sanding and varnishing) 😉

[@kennethd.cooper5252]

@@SailingYaba excellent

[@Arnaud58]

@@SailingYaba As always, it is a trade-off in which a factor should be that air chambers act as an insulation.

[@srcastic8764]

@@SailingYaba good to hear. It will also give the advantage of being able to see what’s going on to so you will be able to see if any problems are starting instead of them being hidden behind the plywood so you can address them while they’re small.

[@waynecummins9713]

This is literally a brand new boat bit by bit . There can't be much of the original boat left. Love the videos 🇬🇧

[@bdphourde]

Why the thicker planks on the transom? Because they don't have to be bent? They used to wrap cloth dipped in paint? around those bolts threaded through the hull holes. I don't know how cold it might get there in the winter, but if you heat with a wood stove, you've got it made for life with all those scraps!

[@marcryvon]

That thick for torsional rigidity. In rough weather, the whole boat will try to twist.

[@stevenr8606]

⬆️ not try, WILL!

[@latitudeash]

It's a good decision to replace the remaining frames. Will save money in the long run

[@SailingYaba]

[@dennisdooley7781]

@@ralphgesler5110 In one episode, Ben indicated that he needed to deal with the rats nest of wiring in the engine compartment. From what I can see, the framing that is done and still needs to be done should have no impact on dealing with old wiring, and laying out a game plan for rewiring the boat given the alterations that will be done relative to new electronics and battery relocation. And yes, I have done wiring in one section of a house while the other sections are being framed. Its known as an expedient use of your time. Have you ever worked for an extended period of time in a small non-air conditioned space on a boat in tropical heat? From experience, it is nothing I would recommend! I would suggest that you let Ben and MP reply to posts if they wish to.

Leuk dat ik jullie in mijn eigen taal kan schrijven, maar ik zal het ook in het Engels doen.

Nice to be able to write to you in my own language, but I'll put it in English too. Replacing all frames is by far the best decision as it is now the easiest and therefore cheapest, plus you are now in capable hands on this wharf. Well done!
