💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

💙 Massive thanks to our amazing team of carpenters that never let us down and continue to amaze us at every step of the process: Toninho, Zeca, Hélio, Claiton, William, Nezo, Nico, Adilson, Beto and Luiz. YOU ARE LEGENDS!

I haven’t been in years. Stopped going in 94 when I thought it was getting too crowded

[@southerneruk]

There is a good reason why your resin was lumpy and bubbly, it needed to go into a pressure or a vacuum chamber, or have a really liquid formula, so it takes a couple of days to cure, which will allow the air bubbles to surface

[@robhawthorne6892]

Only a hour from me, I’ll try to make it there

[@blaircooper3549]

See you there. Blair from North Shore Mobile Marine.

[@christophergibson8377]

I love when people work together to do wonderful things.

[@gtsteven1]

Arf, arf. Arf, arf. Thank you from the bottom of our collective doggie hearts. Your souls are pure and blessed...your efforts and kindness will reap a heavenly reward of love in return. Yaba has become a work of art under your stewardship. It is a joy to see your smiles as things develop toward that splash day. Arf.

[@SailingYaba]

You are so kind! Thank you very much!

[@jonathanworthing6278]

It’s going to be a beauty

[@PhilipClayton-f4u]

Great news for Capt. Caillou to have Chief Offcr Licky to second him! And congrats for the surfacing work in the galley.

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Mix with a stick, do not use a automatic Winder. Because that produces the bubbles inside and can never get them out slowly with a stick.

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice job, pleased as bout Licky. Caillo will be a bludy good big brother. Uncle Ben and Auntie M.P, will real good as well. Thanks m8s, keep up the good work, this bloke who drove the lathe and his son who did the fittin are rippa value too.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much Greg!!

[@danielswords3969]

Thank you for adopting Licky. You are so kind.

[@zacharyrivera566]

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel , and now I'm imagining your crew of four sailing the high sea's .

[@rayboucher479]

Should spend an hour or two and polish up that prop and rear steer tube brass while you have easy access . Make it like new to match that beautiful boat of yours.

[@douglasmiller1467]

Thanks!

I LOVE YOU!

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

Great new dog. Gallry FAiL. Ben will spend his life hitting his head when washing up. Clever guy😏

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi,as a retired marine engineer I have to back up a comment another viewer mentioned….The propeller nut should have run up the threads freely by hand,followed by the lock nut also freely…and only then should the locknut be tightened against the prop nut and then it itself is secured by a split pin or tab washer.Cheers Roly🇬🇧

[@gregbaskin7795]

I'm so happy that you adopted Licky so Caillou has a friend to keep him company. The galley looks amazing. You and all the builders have done a great job.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much Greg!

[@bdphourde]

I commend you on your patience in pouring epoxy. It's getting better each time. It looks like if anything happens to the prop, the boat will have to be pulled out of the water to take it off again. I don't see a way to undo that while under the water. Dogs are very good at loving their owners forever! But if you rescue one from the dog pound or nurse an injured one back to health, your joy will likely be doubled! Thank you for looking after those two dogs! They will return the favor someday when they sound the alarm just when you need it. Don't overlook their warnings.

[@andymack5093]

Hi Guys, woo hoo !! You are going "gangbusters" !! The traditional method of sealing in and around the stern tube is pouring in hot tallow, - I'm sure Nezo (and co) will give you a heads up if it is still possible to do (ie put in filler and riser vent holes etc) and show you the simple technique of filling the void between the stern tube and the shaft log. PS. Licky is one cool dog and like Caillou, is lucky to have You and Ben and cool boat to have many happy adventures on. PPS. Just noticed the grease when they were sliding in the shaft. Just check the water galleries in that stern bearing are clear and/or cleaned out so water can flow around, especially if you have a cooling water takeoff for introducing forced water aft of the gland packing. This really helps to expel and avoid "stagnant" water in the stern tube, which can cause electrolytical damage to the shaft. All easy stuff to check and install if needs be. Just wish I wasn't 15,000 miles away or I would come and do it for a cold beer!

[@maryjnorwood3962]

LOVE how your galley is shaping up! Gorgeous! So very glad you’ve adapted another dog! ❤️❤️❤️😎

[@Tomm9y]

Make sure you use plain epoxy on all the materials under/near/connected to the worktops, sinks, basins. The underside of all these countertops need to be protected from water.

[@aib0160]

Well done on taking in Licky. She looks a sweet little dog and like all rescue dogs they're always grateful and affectionate.

[@SailingYaba]

She is so loving! 🥹

[@barrysowell8216]

I started remodeling my house at the same time that you guys started rebuilding your boat, and I have watched every episode with anticipation each week. I am amazed at the amount of work that you have done the immense amount of labor that has gone into your project. I have since sold my house in the United States and moved to Columbia South America, but I still watch yourvideos every week and can’t wait until the day you finally launch. All of you have done such an incredible job. I hope the launch goes well.

[@wileyboles4179]

I wish I could tell you both how Happy I am to see after everyone's hard work your Dreams coming True Bless you both for saving a Lady like her!!!!!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much Wiley!

Nice mullet. Business in front, party in back...

[@casualobserver3702]

Love the tork hammer on the prop install

[@dee106ful]

Best bit of vid was introducing Licky. A real credit to both of you taking on another dog . She is georgous the love and happiness she will impart will be immeasurable. Good on you.

[@MrmoglySDF]

For the sink what would be a good idea is to have one with fresh water and one with seawater so like this you use less of your own stock of water and has to refill not as often you're a water tank. This is just an idea that I use on a boat and was very handy to save water. Have a good one and congratulations on all the good work.

[@adriantodaro8000]

Hola chicos la cocina quedó espectacular

[@SailingYaba]

Muchas gracias Adrian!! Que bueno que te haya gustado!

[@Opdeweegh73]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching others to pay it forward. Fully enjoyed the episodes and learned a lot. Fair winds.

[@davekimbler2308]

If you viberate it ( using an orbital sander ) , it will self level and get rid of the bubbles !

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice job m8s, pleased as about Licky, Caillo will be a bludy good big brother. Uncle Ben and Auntie M.P, will real good as well.

You are too kind! Thank you very much Laura! 💕

MP, how did you get to be SO good at English? Your vocabulary is SO impressive!! Not to mention you have such a cool personality. Ben was very lucky to cross paths with you!!!!

[@hollyburnside83]

They make a magnetic silicone covers for the induction stovetop you guys should get to keep the pots from slipping around and protects the top of the induction stove. They work great you won't regret it!!

Great tip! We had no idea that existed. Thank you so much!

Goodmorning guys☕🍵🍻🍺

[@taleg1]

I think you might need to do several bubble check while the pour hardens up to make sure the surfaces are perfect.

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

We once rescued a dog who looked exactly like Licky. Found her a home on a small Alpaca ranch. The family took her outside to meet the Alpacas. She (Abby) trotted right out to the herd and laid down next to them. She was their new guard dog. That's all Abby wanted to do from then on - to stand guard for ''her'' herd.

[@SailingYaba]

That is SO CUTE! 🥹

Bravo. pour. vos. deux chiens ils sont magnifique. ainsi que votre voilier

Magnificent Galley. All the hard work was worth it in the end. You always amaze me with how much work you get done. Congratulations on getting the Prop Shaft in. I love seeing the mechanical parts of Yaba. Two dogs now. This shows your kindness and love of animals. Keep well and safe. James.

[@willmeldrum4583]

This will be an amazing home, so exited to see it finished

[@PaulGriffith]

The wooden raised edge around the counter top is called a fiddle. I have no idea how it got the term but it doesn't look anything like a violin. A violin does have a slight edge around the top, but I would only be guessing.

[@schwabrichard9829]

The counter top came out amazing! Licky appreciates everything you have done for her!!!!

[@billhanna2148]

Yes we have propulsion 🤓👏👏👏👍👍💪 come so far .. BTW at around 3:50 that guy was hammering TOOOOO CLOSE to the propellor blade, nearly gave me a heart attack.😅

[@larrycater-tx613]

Please undo the nuts on the prop. They can be locked on and you can still remove them. Especially in the water, when you don’t want to remove the shaft.

[@bkbroiler8069]

That prop is not comming off again.

[@geir.mathello]

4:06 Rudder or?? Propeller.... lol Have a nice day Best regards from Norway

[@bobuncle8704]

Third times the charm. Galley is going to be great. I like the fiddles you’ll be adding. Just enough wood to make it feel classic. I like the drive shaft for the propeller. Makes things so much easier.

[@stevem678]

You got bubbles in your first resin pour from the air in the plywood. If you do it again, seal the plywood with a thin layer of clear resin first

[@dcallan812]

Yabe is really looking great. The prop getting fitted is a big mile stone. 2x👍

Thank you so much!!

[@anthonyscolyer2444]

Just finished watching latest episode of Expedition Evans with electrical work and they have one of your t shirts from the boat show hanging in the galley drying above Brets head as he is talking!!

[@sergiogobbi6085]

Suggestion: do not install the kitchen faucet in the middle of the sink but on the left corner (close to the corner) this way if you have large pots, is not on the way.❤

[@SailingYaba]

Thanks for the tip!

[@andymack5093]

.........plus to save water, have just a small plastic basin in the big sink for doing smaller dishes etc. Having a big sink is awesome!

[@claudehopper9813]

MP & Ben you should be so proud of how Yaba is developing . I notice all the details as you move around the boat . She's ging to a wonderful sailing home for you and the pups . BTW : The wood trim around the countertops is called a Fiddle in english .

[@kerrydrinkwater3823]

Heat gun is moving air and creating dust. Blow torch works better.

Nope, no surprise about the puppy. I knew you had two dogs before you knew you had two dogs. You guys are so kind hearted there was no way you were giving that second dog up. Had I known you were gonna try to do your countertops with liquid epoxy I was suggested Stone Coat Countertops, they have videos right here on KZbin.

You should've never used a heat gun to dry the epoxy, that's how you got bubbles.

Good morning favorite KZbin folks! We completely understand the concept of dogs. You won’t regret adding Licky to your group. She seems like a nice pup. After losing The Duke, we couldn’t see ourselves without a second dog, so in walks Tyson. We like your countertop idea a lot. It adds character. Closer and closer!

[@montyforster3370]

Im hoping that the wash water is treated as its close communion with the drinking water spout would give me concerns of cross contamination.

Dear Sailing Yaba couple. 👍👌👏 I'm glad to see you happy after all the effort you put into the counter tops of the galley. 2) Congratulations 🎉 for rescuing another cute 💚dog. I wonder what's next?

Well done guys, those surfaces look awesome and should be hardy wear surfaces. Congrats on the growing family. Ben, it’s just an observation but the way you thought about stepping on the levelled surface shows the maturity and experience you have gained during this build. I am a huge believer that you should no your equipment inside out and you both do that, every nut, bolt, paint, timber will bring back memories forever. You guys will be going from boat builders to boat operators soon and all this time will serve you well
