Our first modification to the hull (Safety first!)- Sailing Yabá #40

[@SailingYaba]

Hey everyone! We hope you enjoy this episode! We would like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome dads out there! At least in Brazil today it’s Father’s Day and we know in some other places around the globe it is as well. Still, no matter where you are, make sure you have a great day and that you tell the important people in your life that you love them! ❤️ Xx Ben & MP

Happy Fathers Day Ben from baby Yabá

You’ve made our day!

[@kcaskmelater5079]

MP called the planks being replaced a few I would hate to see what she calls a lot. LOL

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

I didn’t catch what the “first modification to the hull” actually was. Was it the addition of the double water tight bulkhead?

[@kcaskmelater5079]

@@jeffreynerdin3522 i think it was the modification of the transverse beam

[@JagLite]

I look forward to seeing each video and watching the progress being made. I'm very glad you can afford to keep all those men working an haven't run out of money and an end to your dream. I find it fascinating to see the different construction techniques used around the world to build wooden boats. There is not only one "right" way to build a boat and what your crew are doing has proven to work for many generations. I appreciate that you are open and honest about your lack of boat building knowledge and are telling us what you are learning along the way. Many who post negative comments have no experience building boats, they just watch videos of other builds and think they know far more than they do. When I built my sailboat I didn't even have electricity so everything was done with hand tools, hand saws, hand drills, hand planes, hand sanding... I do NOT recommend that method to anyone! It takes so much longer. Keep up the excellent work!

[@Westwaterfall]

The skill of the carpenters... they can cut a compound, beveled, curved, super long fitted board that will be the length of the boat and get it right.... WOW! I am very impressed.

[@SailingYaba]

Right?? We are very impressed too!!

[@richardmacauley1107]

I have been less surprised by the capable shipwrights and much more AMAZED. Fantastic as a descriptive term doesn’t do them justice.

[@mercerdye3862]

Watching these wonderful craftsmen is amazing.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you very much!

[@paulkopp3634]

Forget the naysayers ,what a brilliant life experience , ok the boats not built to this code or that code or this or that standard. She may not last so long because this or that material was or wasn’t used . But you are having an experience you will remember all your lives and very few people get to say that . 99% of people who say they “ built a boat “ really mean they handed over huge wads of cash to a boat builder , designed their own cushions and then sat back waiting for it to be delivered . I’m sure you will get just as much joy or more from Yaba as those who chuck a couple of million the way of a builder only to trade it in in a year because the showers not big enough or their aren’t enough refrigerators . Respect to your team of builders and to you . Enjoy the journey .

[@MegaDirtyberty]

There is a lot to building boats than people realize and then it's as you say, hand over a wad of cash and wait for it to happen.

[@paulciampa]

I love the care and craftsmanship of the yard you are in. These men are a dying breed of true masters of the art of boat building ....Yaba was neglected and to see her being painstakingly rebuilt is a credit to MP and your passion ...God Speed

[@beverleycox3570]

Love the way the dog gets in the way but nobody seems to mind 😁

That is so kind of you! Thank you Phillip! We are really glad you enjoy watching us!

Thank you guys 🥰👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧😎 Happy hair cut Ben 😉

[@alfgjelsvik2286]

you get a new boat congrats 🥰 /Mp/Ben

[@tracy2092]

I watch every week and rarely say much, but WOW those guys do an amazing job, the workmanship is just something else, i wonder every week how something so heavy will float but I know its going to be breath taking when its done!! i cannot wait to see it all complete, I've watched since episode one, we before that with ODD LIFE. 😊

[@donnakawana]

Yes,me as well!

[@gerthachmeister8634]

And me

[@srcastic8764]

Weight doesn’t matter. Density does. Anything will float as long as it’s less dense than water, to a point.

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Look at that! Ben got himself a hair cut! Looking sharp sir! Nice progress! ❤️

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

He should have let it grow like Duca until the refit was finished.

[@marleenenmarcelhoremans6636]

Ik kijk al van de eerste dag naar jullie . Een prachtig initiatiev om de boot weer op te bouwen . Ik wens jullie alle succes en maak je dromen waar . Mooi om naar te kijken . Dank je wel . 👍😄😁😄😁👍👍

[@pete7708]

What a thoroughly happy channel. Thank you for letting me tag along.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!!

[@ZPapaGeek]

Nice new intro! Good work featuring your craftsmen!

[@billc3343]

great videos! A thought. Remember to size the galley and heads to accommodate the number of people aboard. Surely, some will want to help with cooking so they will need room to work also. Add more LED lights than you think you will need. ...easy to add now; harder to do later. you may also want to wire in numerous 12volt air fans in each space in the boat to keep air circulating. Also consider plenty of outside air to ventilate in/out of each area. evens out the temperatures and helps prevent mold.

[@debbie09090]

One of my favourite channels along with Odd Life Crafting. Love the new intro, shows how far you have come as Yabá is looking much more of a boat construction project now.

[@highlandervalasik9274]

Agree with you whole heartedly

[@barrycashman7001]

Ben when using a handsaw use a pistol grip eg finger next to thumb out down the handle, helps keep the saw stable, stops from twisting, or wabbling.

[@witerabid]

Great new intro and the progress is amazing. I have a feeling up until now I've mostly been seeing the holes in Yabá but now I actually see the boat. You're still taking things apart but she seems more complete each episode. You actually got me excited for the interior! ♥️

[@Cliffepoos]

I find the methods and tools they use, the joints they seem to be fine with etc, so very interesting. I keep thinking "That#s the wrong way to do that!" only to find that I am wrong and it works very well. It is really very interesting to see. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@bostonpaulmakes6927]

Same here. Watching the chainsaw being used everywhere at first was startling... but to be fair every boatyard in New England slaps skilsaw blades on grinders when no one is looking.

[@srcastic8764]

I was the same way. More than one way to skin a cat, as they say.

[@roykoch2584]

I have to say, the people working to build your boat are absolutely real craftsmen.... Wow ! When they are done and you float up to the marina the heads will turn to see your beautiful boat!

[@MrJerobona]

I love the new introduction!

[@mikepelz7004]

Your new Intro is Great honoring the Craftsmen that are so much a part of your mission!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you Mike!!

[@billstarr7224]

I cannot believe the work those men do in 1 week! Looking really good.

[@harveymontgomery5087]

That boat is going to beautiful when it is done. Can't wait too see it when it is done. The guys that are doing the rebuild are amazing craftsmen.

[@rodneywroten2994]

YABA Has come a long way. You can hear her take a deep breath

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great video! Awesome! More progress!! Keep rolling!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Fantastic... Having an engineer who appreciates Dutch boats! That will transfer into much improvement to Yaba's capabilities....

Thanks guys!

[@edwardcassel3789]

Please let all those guys there working on the boat that there is a person in Texas who thinks that each and every one of them are excellent craftsman. I love watching all of them bring you're boat back to life.

[@leokal1237]

you really should keep some of the old wood and make something out of it...like merchandise.. maybe wristbands or necklaces :) I would buy one :P

[@zacharyrivera566]

I can't wait for your rebuild to be finished , and I bet you can't wait more than me. 😊

[@SailingYaba]

Haha exactly!! ☺️

[@jelletierens7485]

I think we can savely say, that you bougth a dream and that you now are building the dream. Because there is not much left of the original boat. I love your channel and i am curius to see te rest.

[@RagtopDazed]

Yabá is really starring to look great, can’t wait to see her set sail from the shipyard! Smiled a little at the blues music, good choice!

OK Now #40 since #1 WOW -- Looks like all old wood is going away and all new wood now applied. I'd never have the guts to do what you are doing. Still watching and will make a comment each 10

[@timorcutt2184]

I am very impressed with the craftsman involved in the rebuild of your ship. They work effortlessly in a craft that’s slipping away. I love watching this build and can’t wait to see it done.

[@pap91rt50]

A birds nest on the forward mast would be awesome. You could fly the Jolly Roger while having a glass of rum from fifty feet above the other boats.😁

I could watch these guy work for hours on end. Is there interest from the youth in learning what these craftsman can pass on?

Muito obrigado Jose!! Realmente está sendo uma aventura cheia de emoções!

Good morning Ben & MP! Great to see how quickly things are progressing, in spite of the rain. Looks like MP might be planning a larger galley than Yaba had before the rebuild! Looking forward to see the plans for your new living space!

[@miketee2444]

Nice that y'all went on the smaller sailboat so you can really appreciate the amount of Beam your hull has to work with.

[@sergiovideoclip]

It is exciting to follow the works, it will be a formidable boat I can't wait to see it finished :)

[@SkypowerwithKarl]

I’ll be very interested in seeing how that yard transitions from shipwright carpentry to interior cabinetry work, but I’ve been surprised by them already.

[@GLF-Video]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@brucestmartin777]

These guys are masters with wood.. I’ll bet the cabin will be incredible.

[@darrylscott4237]

Same here

[@srcastic8764]

Me too. So far their work doesn’t demonstrate trim level skills.

[@astronorthwet636]

Kind of a bonus you will now get to design the interior that works best for you. Also, I hope you post updates on your friend’s boat too. I love the cold molding technique!

[@kakprat]

I would put a time capsule in that water proof bulkhead. The story of the boat , and her reconstruction.

[@SailingYaba]

That's a great idea Mike!!

[@belledetector]

Please drop in on the half-tonner project from time to time. It´s a beautiful boat, and a very able racing boat when trimmed correctly.

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

I love the narrative we just needed to change a few planks, now we have rebuilt a beautiful boat, you are very breve people well done

[@MrELOIGOMES]

Como a vida é incrível... Sou assinante do canal de vocês já faz um tempinho, vim através do Duca e da Roberta, e neste episódio, para minha total surpresa, vocês foram entrevistar o dono desse veleiro, Bravo. Pois bem, esse barco era de um grande amigo meu, o Zuffo, que quando comprou ele zero de um estaleiro em Porto Alegre, convidou alguns amigos para trazerem esse veleiro navegando. Descemos a Lagoa dos Patos e ficamos uns 4 ou 5 dias em Rio Grande esperando um vento favorável para subirmos até Ilha Bela... Resumindo: todo mundo passou muito mal no trajeto, menos eu. Em razão disso, fiz um turno de mais de 20 horas (o normal seriam turno de três horas). O próprio Zuffo mais tarde admitiu que se eu não estivesse na tripulação o BRAVO não teria chegado (é um pouco de exagero mas a perna foi bem punk) Fiquei muito feliz em saber que o BRAVO ainda existe e que será reformado. Ele é um veleiro excelente, aguentou um mar muito alto, de verdade. Comigo na roda de leme foram dois knock down de madrugada... Ele tem alma (assim como todos). Cuide bem dele. Um abração.

[@patraic5241]

The fresh water intrusion just went everywhere. Rofl "a little refit"

[@petercroft9895]

You don't want a sealed, unventilated space on a wooden boat, if that's what you're intending for the bulkhead - it will be a rot breeding zone. Put a couple of hatches on one side so the space can be kept aired out

[@fernandolrocha]

Tiveram sorte de encontrar uma equipe de carpinteiros tão boa. Vai demorar pra ficar pronto devido as intempéries e dificuldade de se conseguir a madeira, mas vai ficar um barco lindo. Todo domingo fico feliz em saber que um novo vídeo será postado. Parabéns a todos os envolvidos na reconstrução do Yabá.

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida. I spent 3 days at the falls in 1976 one of the most beautiful places in the world. Boat is looking good guys.

[@SailingYaba]

Good morning William! I'm glad you enjoyed your time over there! I still want to take Ben to see the falls, I'm sure he will love it too!

[@aldeco5698]

Yaba is on a good boatyard. Those guys are terrific. As we say in Belgium, they have golden hands. Luky Yaba and Ben and MP of course. It is always interesting to see the progress from the renovation with a coffee in a mug from Sailing Yaba.

[@portfoliofotoz]

I love the new intro.

[@clayfarnet970]

I think Ben will become a shipwright by the end of this project…never to sail away from the shipyard. 😂😂😂👍👍👍 Hey guys, do you have any plans on changing the original sail plan?

You could put a time capsule inside that double water right bulkhead.

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

Once you’re finally done with the demolition, I’d love to have a overall look at what all you were able to save from the original boat and what is or will be new.

[@kevinb6123]

I’d bet not much. Maybe this was cheaper than having plans made for a new build. I don’t know how this could be cheaper than building new.

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

@@kevinb6123 But, if you think about it, this way, they didn’t have to build any forms, do any lofting, or do a lot of the time consuming finish work on portions of the interior. Those guys at the shipyard seem to know what they’re doing, so I’ll have to trust their judgement.

[@patience8884]

I really look forward to your videos!

[@srcastic8764]

How are you going to circulate air inside those bulkheads? If you completely seal those areas and don’t provide for air circulation you are creating a perfect environment for rot and mildew and will be doing a new rebuild in a few years. Be sure to put a hatch or other ventilation over that area. Plus, it’ll make for great storage!!

[@cvar1]

You should definitely put in some way to close off the below decks instead of leaving it completely open. When it's unbearably hot/cold out, it'll be nice to have that retreat and it's much easier to control the temperature of a smaller space.

[@kitbenavent8349]

Is what you are doing worth it?

[@bobhughes7175]

You are catching up quickly with the nautical descriptions, so here is another one for you. With regards to the previous episode, the twisted rope and lever used to bring the coamings together is called (very aptly) a spanish windlass. Cheers.

[@richardgooding498]

Great investment. You not only are refitting your home, learning a ton about your boat, learning about different trades, and getting ready for the adventures of a life time. But you guys are pretty cool too 😁
