Our cockpit is getting a big makeover! (Sailing Ruby Rose) Ep. 40

[@arthurkettle3010]

Favourite line in the episode..."If I was a fulltime cushion maker ...but then again no" 😁.....great Elton John shoehorning Nick!

[@davekeuroglian]

I love to see a wife who’s so proud and vocal about her husband!!!!

[@loubob21]

Perfectionist through and through. I can tell the cushions came our great, but you still wanted them to be even better.

[@SailingSVSarean]

Nice job! We have a beast of a sewing machine that we have all sorts of 'conversations' with, but in the end there's nothing like a comfy cockpit from which to enjoy Sangria and Sunsets!

[@tomriley5790]

Being able to lie down in the cockpit of a boat is a vastly underrated feature.

[@jasthelast]

Top tip, make the piping up before you trying to use it, second one is if your cushion is flat use a steam iron on max steam setting, pump the steam into the foam and it will bring it back to the correct size.

[@RenéeinVirginia]

Wow Nick. Great job on the sewing!!

[@svvalor9826]

My pop is a fashion designer who started out in the trade as a pattern maker back in the 60's. I showed him the video and he smiled. He said tell your friend he did a good job but he needs a new machine. HAHA

[@lanestreet1431]

No wonder the dock sank, Nick sitting there all afternoon punching holes in it ;) Not too sure he should be trusted with sharp implements. Just kidding, nice job on the cushions and thanks for sharing. Fair winds.

[@emech5]

I'm glad it ended well for you.

[@peterengel7885]

So here's the thing.. Good job.. Having a good machine makes all the difference. It cuts the frustration in haft.

[@smeagol1504]

So here's the thing.. I need a "So here's the thing" T-shirt

[@robertallen7106]

smeagol150 YESSSSSSSSS

[@michaelrandold4656]

So funny

[@roberttorres809]

smeagol150 me too!

[@kennethhargreaves9407]

I think the opera you’re referring to at 5:10 is “The Marriage of Figaro”. Still Mozart though.

[@dazthesailor6363]

Great video ,how can watching someone making cushions be entertaining ? But some how you made it so funny , getting a man crush on you Nick ! Darrell

[@RobDeHaven]

Well done Nick! Sailors and farmers have a lot in common. When they want something done, they usually try to figure it out for themselves. Looks like a old pro did it to me so don't worry about any imperfections you know about. I thoroughly enjoy these vids by the way. Marina life is fine with me as long as you keep the vids coming.

[@johnnyhag675]

When I watch you two there always seem to be a big smile on my face. You guys are great together. Nice job on the cushions Nick. Thanks for sharing.

[@campingboy9213]

Its always a question of should we get someone else to do it or should we do it ourselves. When we take on projects that push us, and they turn out, it does feel amazing. I hope you enjoyed a cool beer on the new cushions. Because you earned it. I always enjoy the playful banter and odd tackle. The joy of life. Stay safe, enjoy the moment, and thanks Cheers

[@svbarryduckworth628]

My wife does all of the sewing. I have no patience for that stuff at all. Nick is my hero. Those sailrite videos are great though. I'm currently making headliner panels to attach with velcro to the bottom side of the deck. The sailrite video makes it look easy.

[@svbarryduckworth628]

Patient? What is that?

[@RoyClare]

SO impressed with those cushions. Loved the video. You guys rock. 👍🎉✔️👌❣️

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Actually she's right. That does look amazing. First Mate just bought a Sailrite, and we need to make cushions for our sailboat, too. Going to make her watch this vid!

[@calebsmith3421]

I just about teared up when she looked at you and said "You amaze me". You two have a good thing going and it is nice to be able to watch moments like that. Good job on the cushions, they look excellent!

[@calebsmith3421]

Cheers my friend!

[@a.pwhiteside5872]

Well done Nick. Mate you're truly a man of many talents.

[@chrisfrink5348]

Nick, a man of many talents

[@AC-hl7pc]

Well done. Love your sense of humor. You two are great together. Love your Fuking Saylor talk. Cheers mate's!!!!!

[@paulpede8120]

Your patience and precision with the cushions is impressive (Nick), as is the way you (Terysa likely here) set up some of your scene shots and edits in a Casey Neistatesque manner.

[@paulpede8120]

Very favourably!

[@RobFomenko]

Nice job. Yes Sailrite makes things easier for sure. They have great products, awesome support. New cushions look great.

[@toddherrmann7120]

Nick you have quite the skills! Fantastic job!

[@dt-paz516]

Dude! Props on the mad skills...those cushions are BOSS!

[@Jakfilm]

I'd be thrilled to have made such a good cushion. Of course, I've only ever sewed one thing, so my chances are slim.

[@silkyjones2626]

Terysa is cute-er than a bug's ear. Good job Nick on the cushions.

[@professormoptop]

Nick is my spirit animal... Lolz

[@robertskinner1799]

As usual, a very informative video. I love the fact that Nick points out what sites he uses for learning resources. Look forward to seeing the next phase in the cockpit makeover.

[@robertskinner1799]

pfft, I am here EVERY week :)

[@phillydawg1313]

I actually look forward to these two! Don't get me wrong, I still watch Delos and will until they stop. Stopped watching Vagabond after they got the Cat...? Not sure why and it puzzles me.

[@robertskinner1799]

Go back and watch the first five or six episodes of Vagabond, it will be pretty clear why you stopped watching. At first it was clear they loved what they were doing, it was raw and spontaneous. Now it's a job for them and the episodes are now much shorter and shallow. They seem now to focus on production and less on content. If they would spend more time on their experience with the boat, their trials and tribulations and make their videos less like travelogues I would continue to support them. I love this channel and sailing Ran. More authentic and gritty.

[@horseshoejerry]

Well done! Three thumbs up!

[@tkpaulsen1]

A Renaissance Man! Professional Dentist, Accomplished Sailor, Marine Electrician, plumber and mechanic, Seamstress, Philosopher and a Musician! You are the Man Nick!

[@phillydawg1313]

Well...I dunno, but were I a Bird? I might fly by and check out that nest.

[@paulcailliet9942]

Tom Paulsen left out cook and whatever else not privy too;)

[@JGAP24]

And a stand-in for Tony Blair

[@ThePetejb]

As a fairly decent sail repairer and seamstress, nice work dude! I KNOW how tricky the tension would be on the corners. :)

[@barkly1992]

Nick can cook AND sew. What a champ.

[@NorbCat]

Terysa - May I say that I admire you (and sympathize with you) in a huge way? Here’s my reasoning: The rest of us get to enjoy Nick’s good-natured grumpiness once a week for about 12 to 14 minutes ... but you, my poor dear, have to endure that 16 to 17 waking hours a day! But I have noticed that at times you have your escape route planned out well in advance. Smart lady!

[@jaysonstevens9823]

Beautiful cushions! Also, another wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.

[@LuluBowenTarot]

Great episode! Impressed with the sewing skills... looks fantastic

[@laurentfroggy6631]

Nick you're Jack of all trades. Looks fabulous. A comfy place for some open sea "fun" 😉 thanks and best from HKG 🇭🇰

[@EddieAlexander2000]

Wonderful video. I enjoyed seeing the playful and comical side of both of you.

[@rogers53]

Nick a dentist and a seamstress good to have to two professions .Luv the vids guys can't wait for the next.

[@roythomas9126]

Love the episode. I just moved aboard my Downeaster 38 and am/was on the precipice of biting the bullet and purchasing the Sailrite sewing machine. I have myriad sewing projects and only a basic Brother sewing machine. HOWEVER..... I just learned from my girlfriend that "walking foot" attachments are available for my machine (and most other brands). (She isn't a seamstress but peruses the web lots.) The walking foot is the biggest reason the Sailrite machine can handle thick, multi layer jobs. It's a $15 attachment. I have one on order so technically haven't used it yet. BUT... I've see many walking foot attachment videos on KZbin demonstrating multi-layer projects so I know it works!!

[@donzie13]

Good work! I swear he reminds me of my husband! Mouth, temperament and talent! My husband used to sew fur coats for a living.

[@alanduffy7993]

Really nice job. I am going to steal your colour scheme.

[@tancolvis5240]

nice cushion

[@fishabit]

Well done indeed!

[@bill4nier]

Nice job! I don't care that you're not sailing. You're doing work on your boat and to me, it's all apart of sailing. 👍👍👍👍👍 😊 ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

[@johnrobinson4939]

Nick you are truly a multi faceted guy. Good work

[@mariemorrissey9378]

You are amazing even in a Marina! Enjoy the Christmas Season in America! 🎄⛵⚓⛵🎄

[@Kavack]

LoL. Good job Nick. I must say I am really disappointed that I didn’t get to hear even one good rant. Seriously those make my week. Not that I wish pain on you at all, just always make me laugh, they remind me that I am not the only one who does them and most of the time very insightful/informative. Whomever tells you they have some kind of “glass” ears for it should never watch a sailing channel or step on a boat ever again!

[@svbarryduckworth628]

If I were doing the sewing there would be a mega-rant boiling in the background the whole time.

[@mmanut]

Damn Good Job 👍Very Professional ‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

[@johnkaveski7953]

great job nick looks good

[@johndagher9321]

Good job Nick!

[@tedschaller]

Great video 👍👍👍 Marinas are fun place especially when you have access to everything. Cheers!

[@roberttorres809]

Wow, 😳 great job on the cushions!!!!

[@dondevine5129]

Nice job.. well done

[@Brian-id9sk]

Great job Nick! I never had a doubt you would do such an amazing job!

[@Brian-id9sk]

I guess to be fair you heard the swearing and "oh come on you bloody thing" coming from up top.

[@gregponder8332]

That is an amazing thumbnail of Terysa! Oh yeah, nice job on the upholstery, too, Nick.

[@peterlosangelos4108]

Well done Nick and lovely advertising for your cushions that thumbnail.

[@joethecomputerguy1]

Sounds and looks like a lot of work. RVing is easier :) Certainly looks like after 5 years you needed to do that update. Good job Nick old boy. The dentist can also sew. LOL, "next time someone gets drunk they have a place to sleep". Bravo Terysa, giving Nick the heads up where he'll be sleeping next time...

[@SailingKnotShore]

Thanks for posting this video on cushion making... it really helped us make our new cushions on our Gulfstar 44... and you have inspired us to start a KZbin channel of our remodel and soon to be live-aboard! Thanks!

[@Richdudevids]

good stuff love dyi and Nick you are one handy guy,,,thanks for shareing..

[@tancolvis5240]

men of all trades great skills.

[@Mechautoinsight]

Legend Nick. Played hard, done good.

[@hubbards]

Amazing job. Now you can add cockpit cushion maker to your resume. lol Cheers

[@trongod2000]

Enjoyed this video very much. well done on the video and the cushions too.

[@garryangaly7003]

Good job for your first time. Upholstry is not easy I grow up working with upholstry and refinshing furniture also did home building for 27 years. Now in solar and hybred power systums. love all your videos. I have a 3 year plan to get a sailboat and stay out there

[@bernardmichels8204]

Nice work. My wife doesn't sew for s**t sew I do that bit of work. The sailrite machine rocks. I have the zig zag. It weighs a ton but that thing will sew thru you hand. It's amazing

[@MrRicard75]

I love your guys channel so informative and fun to watch. Nick you inspire me to try new things. Thanks so much.

[@sjm8423]

They look beautiful! Great vid!!

[@EmAndtheGang]

That was a great job! Those old cushions did look pretty puny. Fantastic change!

[@seanmchughnt]

Love you two. Keep bringing the most entertaining real videos.

[@jackneff179]

good job nick

[@grantmoore8889]

Well done - they look great

[@tbranch227]

Congrats on the new seating!!

[@MrPhil1812]

brill job nick

[@gerritfaber2751]

Great jobb, well done. Terysa should be pleased by a handyman like you.

[@rassabossa4554]

Well done, mate. I am surprised your sewing machine did so well on the piping without the proper welt cord foot. Had I known you were about to do some reupholstering, you could have borrowed my sailrite in Savannah. I imagine this video is a month or so behind, looking at that nice weather.

[@flyingmonkeysv322]

next on my list looks great

[@mbnovik]

I guess that dentist skills are transferable to other professions:) Great job and congrats on not going insane:)

[@alejandrolopez1881]

Nick you are the MAN!!!!

[@rmhollin25]

here's the thing ...".your wearing pink trousers mate!" lol great job Nick

[@cicco1838]

[@seatravel8536]

Excellent job! The piping looks stunning.

[@wynnroberts5388]

Very well done!

[@malcolmprouty2344]

Nice job. You give me the inspiration to try making ours instead of buying new ones.

[@klausmontag2801]

Good Job, well done,

[@kubuli100]

Outstanding looks like a professional did it good job

[@stevewild1534]

Nice work

[@sherriegal1707]

I can only imagine how much $$ you saved doing them yourselves. And they look fantastic! Love your videos!

[@alchik1]

Awesome job! Quite professional!

[@SailingAquamarine]

You know of course you can get a Chinese Sailrite machine for about £300 on ebay. I got one and and compared it to my friends 'Original' machine... everything was identical (even the box fits) all the mouldings, internals, everything. The big difference is the setup, when you get it from the factory Sailrite get all the timing spot-on, which is not really true on the Chinese version... But to be fair, after a month using the machines the timing drifts anyway and needs setting up. Nicely done on the cushions, piping does a nice job :)
