Renovating a boat i have never done. Houses i have done a few while still living in them. ( as you do ). But the two worst rooms to do were Definitely the Bathrooms and Kitchens. While watching you work i can feel myself doing the same job. Just keep reminding yourself it will get finished eventually ???? The sooner the better, lol. Great work always takes time.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Wow, Teal, your skills, and conscientious persistence are awe inspiring.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

If you keep this up Daniel...My head is going to get big! I appreciate your comments, they really motivate me. Thanks for watching!

[@rbnhood39]

Dude where did you learn how to do all this ? You have many skills and an unrivaled work ethic. Hats off to you.

[@GaryKearley]

Decided to start at the beginning and am amazed at everything. Well done Teal and family. Doing great. Now onto episode 4 😀

[@linhgobenyt]

Thanks for joining in on the adventure! So much as changed since this video! 😍😍

[@GaryKearley]

Linh Goben oh I know, I’ve watched you get the boat onto the hard and splashed back again but had missed these early ones, so I’ve decided to catch up on all the early ones I’d missed. It’s fascinating viewing. You’ve all done a great job, not just on the boat work but on the video editing and also with the whole family unit. Please keep it up, even when the diy is done (for now 😂) and you are just living the life.

[@WW-on6bo]

Shoe locker! Wow! And I thought boats were high maintenance! Just kidding, to each his/her own. Nice videos, awesome skills.

[@dantespeakdigital]

Holy crap, Mate!!! I would love to turn you loose on my boat for a couple of weeks!! Really amazing work!! Bravo and thanks so much for going through the trouble of making these videos and sharing your experiences while taking on these gigantic projects! I’m learning a lot!

[@mattdabney4109]

Fabulous work. Your boat is looking so nice and clean. I'm a monohull, full keel wood boat man but really loving how your cat is turning out!

[@HopeOfJoe]

I am amazed at skill, pre-planning, and execution !! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. !! 😊👍👌👊🔨🔧🔩💰⛵️⚓️

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Richard, pre-planning is the key ...most of our projects are designed years before we tackle them., of course they always change a bit as we build. Thanks for watching!

[@glenpeters955]

Seriously great workmanship, there is no way you could reasonably show the true amount of effort needed to do what you achieved up to this point but kudos to you. Clearly you have a top junior assistant on hand and that always helps.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Glen, You are correct, we have only shown on our videos about 1% of the work done on this boat...Thanks for watching!

[@ahood2959]

You are Very Talented ! Great Team!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Lake Life!

[@VDOTravels]

Just Amazing workmanship and detail!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks VDO!

[@errolG68]

Excellent work

[@davehubbard6075]

Awesome work it looks beautiful

[@matteonunziati788]

you guys are AMAZING!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching Matteo!

[@talderson1]

That is so amazing. You have serious skills. It's so awesome maybe is should be skillz... You take a lot of pride in you're work and it shows. I would love a little more detail in the work just as a DIY thing but even if that doesn't happen I will still be watching. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@collingtech1]

in video looks so easy , wonderfull job , good planning and very skilled mate , thumbs up

[@MalloyUnfiltered]

A work of art.

[@gandydvm]

Amazing transformation!

[@ArjanBok]

Great video and a great job! I build a 43' fiberglass catamaran from scratch in San Francisco so I can appreciate your work.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching Arjan. That's a big boat to build from scratch. I can appreciate how much work would go into that! Did you build her in Napa?

[@ArjanBok]

No, I did not. I live on a floating home behind the giants ball park and I found a spot on the bay less then 5 minutes from my house that the port of San Francisco gave me a great deal on. Napa marina is nice but a 45 minute drive and that would have made it a lot harder. RotKat is in Puerto Vallarta at the moment, lots easier for epoxy to set over there ;-)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I thought your name sounded familiar. I read about you in Latitude 38. If I ever need to replace my saildrives, I'm calling you!

[@ArjanBok]

My SB saildrive keeps giving me trouble, so I am getting REALLY good at removing them, taking them apart and putting them back in. I am down to about 4 hours from sitting on the boat, thinking not again!... to sitting on the boat with a cold beer, proud of my repairs.

[@kpertsev]

Arjan Bok what happened to the rotkat.com website? Do you have a copy somewhere? If you ever back home I want to buy you a beer :-)

[@alann7974]

I came across your videos and began watching them. I like your craftsmanship and attention to detail. Do you have experience in this work our are you learning as you go along. I look forward to watching more. Alan

If he was'nt when he started he certainly is now. Fantastic to watch you Teal, your doing a fantastic job

[@TomCucolo]

I just found your channel and I find what you are doing fascinating. and a bit of jealousy. You are working or worked very hard at getting this completed.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It's been a long haul and we have enjoyed every minute of it!

[@captainflo]

Very good job! I like

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks!

[@conradsenior5843]

Fine work. I've done it and know exactly how hard it is.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Conrad...A lot of hard work, but very rewarding. Thanks for watching!

[@peterceccato3580]

Great job mate

[@mickmccrohon]

beautiful work fella!

[@danbradley1943]

The more blood sacrificed to a project the better it is and the more knowledge you have.

[@johnturner2175]

By the way those anti back flow values go on underwater and above water line openings. Most people don’t put them on above water line opening and still can’t figure out why the boat still sank.

[@sailingonscarlette5811]

I really enjoyed this episode. I know it was hard work but the skill you have is AMAZING! It was nice for your wife to acknowledge this. Just wondering who is the “Design” maven - you or her? My wife is Japanese so I appreciate the “struggle.”

[@cliffjamerson3107]

Your workshop looks fine keep it that way it will be the only personal space you ever get in life MAN CAVE they will never go in there or rearrange it

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Man Cave.....I wish. I can't complain, life's pretty good onboard.

[@rogerelzenga4465]

@@OnboardLifestyle was about to answer that.... No room for man caves on boats .... or, Everything is the mancave once your tools are out ;)

[@patch8462]

So Teal:) LOL on the high heels brother.. I have had so many Captain Ron moments over shoe closets for clients Dude, it's always a LOL moment for me. I kid my GF saying the bike hitch is only there for long road trips- only for her high heel closet on wheels.. We are working on a design with a naval architect for a mono... No way will we have room enough for all those shoes, I've stated up front! Nice clean work Teal, quite refreshing! Patch

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks patch!

[@RockyTop1911]

You must have the patience of Job. Good work.

[@brianjoyce9040]

Stuff I hadn’t seen. Now I have. A younger version of the SV Basic family.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Its amazing how far we have come along. I am working on our website and will be updating it with photos of the all of our projects. Really excited to share it with you all! Cheers!

[@GSC727]

Some great ideas. Did you build this cat from the scratch?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

She is a 1993 custom 435 catamaran designed by Jace Hobbs and built by Mastermold Composite Services in Florida. We have been refitting her over the past eight years in preparation for world travel.

[@keithmarler5196]

Do you use a diamond blade when cutting? Also where were you able to find the honeycomb board? Teal does make it look so easy!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I use carbide tipped blades. They don't last very long but do a fine job. The honeycomb composite was purchased at Fiberlay Inc. in Kent, Wa. www.fiberlay.com

[@patch8462]

Dewalt has a 24 tooth 7 1/4" yellow blade, it last surprisingly long, fine and stable cut, $7.50 a piece... Patch

[@johnturner2175]

I hope your putting anti back flow on thru hull inlets. With out them your boat will sink very fast.

[@Thomas_Speck]

Greetz from Austria! Did you build the whole Catamaran yourself?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We purchase her used 8 years ago. She is a 1993 custom 435 catamaran that we stripped to bare hulls and did a complete rebuild all while sitting in our fresh water slip...thanks for watching!

[@Thomas_Speck]

Thanks! Great Jobs so far!

[@jimk9417]

I’m torn between purchasing an older project boat similar to what you’re doing or a newer boat that only needs minor tweaks but may not be exactly what is on my “dream sheet”. You both inspire and scare the heck out of me 😂. You claim only patience but you have a lot of skill and talent as well. I look forward to following this channel.

[@johnjcoxiii9401]

I just came across your channel and I am amazed at your creativity and skill level.Are you an Architectural Designer by trade? the Old Coastie

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching John, I'm not a n Architectural Designer by any means but have always thought it would be an interesting field to explore.

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

Mad respect, but, who needs that many shoes sailing? :-D

[@OnboardLifestyle]

This was when Linh was working full time in an office. Most have been retired. I am just glad she has very small feet. Lol

[@rrjones6667]

Can my wife and I come be your guests? Beautiful work you have amazing skills.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We do have a guest cabin.

[@rrjones6667]

Onboard Lifestyle and an amazing one at that.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Are you referring to the experimental electronic music duo from SF?

[@lotophagi711]

No - from the film Barbarella. It's the lava under the floor that gives life kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZCxaJqdqpygrMU

[@deibertmichael]

No watertight bulk heads?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You are correct Michael, I did add bulkheads until I cut Lockers into them. The NidaCore hull material displaces more volume than the entire vessel weighs so watertight bulkheads would be redundant.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

There are 4 Collision bulkheads, 2 forward and 2 aft.

[@deibertmichael]

Onboard Lifestyle Very good! I worked as a ships engineer on Sail Boats and a believer of prevent prevent prevent! We hit a Whale 500 Miles North of Kauai. An Aluminum Hull. It hit the center board which gave us a 17 foot draft weighing 1 Ton. Sliced 8. 5/8 inch bolts on the flange! Skippers though me odd for three bilge pumps in all bilges! One high volume and 2 lower volume! Like your work. You have great times ahead!

[@donr416]

I saw everythingin the head, except a head?

[@frankstocker5475]

She needs more shoes.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Those are Linh's work shoes and when we go cruising will be replaced with deck shoes and flip flops. Maybe she will keep a few pairs...they make her happy!

[@jayseaem]

@@OnboardLifestyle Happy wife, Happy Life

[@brianstevens7241]

Dude, I know this is an old video. Why would you use a thin skin of an exotic wood like mahogany when cheaper woods could be used as a "CORE MATERIAL"? Not trying to be a wise azz. I can tell you know your stuff.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We had purchased an entire pallet of marine grade product and NidaCore at a boat auction so it was in fact cheaper than going out and buying subpar material for our build. Linh is awesome at finding deals online and price compares. I do understand what you are getting at. Otherwise, we would look for other less expensive material to use. Thanks for watching!
