Life after SPLASH: Sea trials and urgent to-do list! - Sailing Yabá 204

[@rogpen81]

Yaba and Tally Ho splashing within days of each other after years of rebuild and rework, amazing. congratulations to you all.

[@giles-df9yu]

I was wondering about the number of people that had watched the building of tallly ho that watched this one two. I think tallly ho and expeditionevansyoutube started me watching them

[@giles-df9yu]

Now ran sailing youtube is getting to the point of flipping the boat over, another great channel.

[@terryboehler5752]

Two amazing builds. Each unique.

Yaba, Tally Ho and the ,not so wooden, Project Brupeg

[@chopperbob2302]

Yes what a fun coincidence!! Love it. Two of my favorite boats.

[@dahak972]

It’s a banner week in the sailing world! Yabba and Tally Ho launching so close together makes my heart happy!

[@HiltsyAdventure]

Tally ho launched blew my mind, these guys also. Both boats were in terrible condition.

[@wvo72]

@@HiltsyAdventure Yup. At frist sight both projects seemed to be pretty much impossible ...and then you meet the people that proof that if you re crazy and passionate enough, many times "impossible" is just a state of mind.

[@andymacdonald30]

Yaba looks at home now . Not a single leak . That is testament to all the hard work and skill that went into rebuilding her .

[@nick.caffrey]

Being honest, I never thought this day would come in the beginning. I thought, this is a project with no plan and it's going to run out of money. I don't know how much it cost, but now, I don't care. I think you guys (Ben, MP, and especially MP's Dad, and the whole yard) totally smashed this project out of the park. Parabéns!

[@dancarter482]

Yeah, I didn't think that timber was worth the effort of drying for burning! _The kids are alright._

[@oshadi1]

Congrats, 3.5 years, of watching you both and the dogs, (the black dog climbing the stairs), with love and admiration wishing you the best.

[@Ram-pc9ts]

Congratulations on "rescuing" Yaba! Also, I love that you also "rescued" the two dogs. What a wonderful life they are going to have.

[@webbtrekker534]

@@rolfsvensson5777 They have two "heads" or "bathrooms" on board.

[@rolfsvensson5777]

@@webbtrekker534 I was talking about the barking dogs! Where do they go when they are in need? Do they belong on a boat period?

[@webbtrekker534]

@@rolfsvensson5777 OK, I knew folks who cruised with pets. They used a woven mat with a very strong eye spliced on one corner. . The dogs were trained to use the mat and then it was tossed over the side and drug for a few miles for cleaning. More then likely the dogs will use the swim platform and it get sloosed off with buckets.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Sailing Yaba couple. 👍👌👏 Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations! 🎉 🎉 🎉 Not a drop of water in the bilge, the engine runs great and Yaba has an impressive small/little turn radius! Even the outboard engine runs. Yaba looks somehow bigger than I remembered her and definitely way more beautiful of course. I can see a lot of relaxing, grilling and partying on the boat in the future. Yaba looks quite amazing. Especially at night and especially with the spotlights that illuminate the water all around her. I'm pretty sure that you will have a wonderful life sailing her constantly. I hope that the dogs will be able to adapt to the boat/sea life. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people and dogs. 😁 ;-)

[@chrisevans8455]

YABA and Tally Ho, both in one week. How great is this? Congratulations to you both along with your 'shipmates'. Yaba is truly a gorgeous lady of the sea.

[@henkdegroot739]

Hello Yabasailers, may i give you a advise, mount a camera on the Bow somewhere, and stream it to your Tablet in front of you steering wheel, keep going

[@hansrutten3310]

This ship is a blessing for the eye! For me the most beautiful ship to own! One Dutch word! GEWELDIG!!!

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Very nice ❤

[@tomhollingsworth8201]

ready for some open water videos❤

[@SailingYaba]

Me too!!

[@briviao]

@17:27 is definitely a “finally!!!” moment. 😉

[@clstjam4321]

It's really awesome to see the smiles on both your faces. What a beautiful reward for so much hard work and dedication to getting Yaba floating again. Just to throw an idea out: you might want to consider installing some closed cell foam as sound insulation in your engine room. You'll still hear the engine but it wont become an annoying drone on long motoring stints or cause too much background noise on video. Either way, congratulations!

[@fastmoverfixer2089]

Now that you are the "captain", when under way everyone has to say " AYE AYE Captain"!

[@aeros4me]

She looks so graceful back on the water in full glory. Well done you guys :) Cheers Ray (UK)

[@SailingYaba]

We have to agree! Thank you so much!

[@dancarter482]

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

Ben looked a little like a Rabbit in the headlights while chugging up and down the river lol. You have one beautiful Boat and a great home...and a lot more work to do ! I can't wait.🙂

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

It was amazing to see Nico enjoying a ride on the river and one of the brothers who're the owners of the yard enjoying a barbecue at the end. I hope at some point all those involved at that yard get a chance for a short cruise and a barbecue with you as well. Especially the older gentlemen who's almost always never seen without a cigarette, I'm sorry his name escapes me right now. The level of craftsmanship that went into this rebuild was a pleasure to watch, getting it done old school with blood, sweat and tears as they say. Looking very much forward to continuing to see what and where your up to next. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

[@BruceOnLocation]

There's nothing more pleasing than to reach your goals in life. I wish you both a wonderful time and safe travels.

[@Djdj-kd8ue]

I know it's very costly when traveling the waterways with our furry 4-legged kids & I've held off on asking this question untill launch day, but I'm a furry 4-legged Dog lover & So I'm curious as to their future. The four(4) of you seem to be A Great Family & I'm hoping & Praying they get to stay on as deckpaws for many years to come!

[@waynerudiger1756]

Remembering back to the early days, all the doubters, especially about the engine that is just purring now. If what we've seen so far is any indication it's going to be an impressive boat under way.

[@helmuthgeiser4103]

Yaba looks impressive big even in the water, and Ben handles her like she is a toy boat !

[@jmeady]

Feel great for you guys. What a perfect page in Yaba history. Now, Ben.....whenever you start that beautiful engine, keep your eyes on those gauges. Don't walk away until that oil pressure makes you smile.. :)

[@nickbild3538]

It’s very cool to watch Yabá motor on the water and as I look her over, I can remember all the little details of how each individual piece was built. I feel like I know her almost as well as you do. So happy for you both!

[@mrbill8542]

She's beautiful---can't wait to see her in full sail !!!!

That's how many time you have come alongside and cast off without taking out the pole on the dock with the bowsprit? Skipper looking less stressed each time 😀

[@brucefraser3961]

Ben and MP you must be so proud of what you have accomplished and so happy with the result. I find it difficult to believe it's been over 3 years since I started watching you and the shipyard crew rebuild this boat. What a journey and what a result. Congratulations to all involved.

Exciting, and rewarding achievement ahead of the dream future that you two are creating step by step! Perfect...love the wonderful proficiency you two project in all that you do as you learn, and also the seemingly effortless capability to carry foreign languages!!

[@jonjacob1962]

As many of y'alls videos as I have seen, it has never truly dawned on me just how BIG Yaba actually is until just now. For some reason, seeing Ben turn the wheel while she's in motion really brought it into perspective for me. I'm so excited for you guys. Congratulations! I hope you guys can sail up to Annapolis MD sometime and let me buy you both a drink. That would be pretty cool. At any rate. It's so awesome seeing this project finally come together and move under its own power. WITHOUT any leaks. Lol.

[@extremelydave]

After watching you from the very start, it seems unreal that you are back on the water. I can't wait to see where Yaba takes you!!!!!

[@chrismsmalley2626]

Oh yeah, and get lolly columns for bracing now before you set sail. Keep them below decks and have pieces of wood ready too. Cut some angled wedge pieces and some flat pieces that were cut-offs pieces of the hull planks. If you run aground and smash into a sharp rock it'll break the hull . Have the lolly column ready for that type of event. Brace the wedges against deck supports. Crank the screw to extend between the leak and the support. Slide a deck plate in on the broken hull/leak. Keep turning the screw until the boards are tight. They (the lolly) will save you from sinking. Get two...

[@tomblodgett7389]

Okay, next thing on the list should be a new Highfield tender with a new Yamaha outboard on it. You can't have a million dollar yacht with a $10.00 tender. Remember that's going to be your car from now on and it needs to be reliable. Cheers from Austin, TX for another awesome video!!

Those long bowsprits are an absolute PITA in close quarters. A large prop is very usefull in being able to stop before TSHTF. May your bilges stay dry and oil free.
