Those chain plates are an absolute thing of beauty.

[@SailorPete]

You guys are epic. Inspirational.

[@rossevans1774]

The anticipation is building.

[@judd-sv-galileo]

Nice job peeps

[@alexstevenson2222]

Enjoyed the video as always, yet it was just as interesting to watch Lee's hair grow.

[@stevenplancich6449]

Euw, Sooooo Close to Splashing😘…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎

[@mattcarroll106]

The quality of your work, is impressive! Always learning from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@oh-brothers]

More bling than a 10 carat diamond ring !!!

[@carlhagglund]

Cool! Happy to see you guys one step closer to be back in the water.👍

[@Stakman1]

Wow! Those look like they are going to be amazing.

[@jamessandman3708]

Pretty work guys! Bella I love your hair like that! 👍⛵⛵⛵

[@garoldjackson8401]

Another project well done. Two thumbs up.

[@paulmann1440]

Fabulous job on that varnishing Bella!

[@guydriver]

For a girl. Grin. ❤

[@janana6786]

Hair looks great!

[@andymarr7610]

Crevice corrosion is incredible. Stainless Steel termites. Ive seen 100's millions of damage from failed structure in DRINKING WATER, and boats. Dont weld 316 without pickling. Thanks as always great video

[@colinmansell3524]

Wow those chain plates are nackered. Lucky you got new ones. Bella's room is now sparkling good, well done Bella.

[@bobbilly2300]

Take a drink every time you hear CHAIN Plates!!! 😂 They look sooo good!!!!

[@BillGornicki-qj9mk]

I can feel your excitement!

[@rossmain4142]

Great to have an awesome company helping your guys out, great job to have new chain plates, peace of mind.

[@jamessandman3708]

Yep, hats off to Schaefer!!

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Good one mate ☝🏽lol. You’re fun.

[@syzygy1099]

Your very lucky that chain plate, in your demo, didn't snap. You could have been seriously injured. Safe travels.

[@ronjohnson9690]

Wow! That trip to Turkey did wonders for the whole crew. The enthusiasm is infectious, and the additional confidence is reassuring. Sara, your smile and deep tan is beautiful, and even compliments Bella's own too. I have to admit this episode was a 'pick me up' for everyone, including the viewers. And Lee, you are remarkable!

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks for your kind words! 😊

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

Great job Belle. Your room turned out beautiful.

[@jamessandman3708]

Backflip Bella is the Bomb! She is such a good girl!!

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thank you! 🤗

[@silky900]

Its time for 2 cold beers mate....

[@allenclark1914]

Well done Bella, your room looks very nice, The new chain plates are awesome.and beautiful ,,

[@SailingCatalpa]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

So familiar with 316L. Most of my career was in the food industry, so 304 or 316L, the later for fruit juices, any Chlorine, etc.. btw, water jet cutting is used in food, cutting fish, chicken and the like.

[@yachticus]

that work by Schaefer is something again. Expensive - but such a worth while process.

[@mikep8111]

I was always told that chrome rusts from the inside out. It is getting very exciting. Not long now! How bout Taj rockin' the blonde highlights. Looking good. Good to see you in front of the camera now and then. See you next week.☺

[@leehoffman3604]

Curley Bella did a nice job in her room. Sending the chain plates was a brilliant idea. I'm not familiar with the process. Was that literally just water cutting that stainless? Last question. Are you going to grow your hair long ? 😆 That video in Turkey was fantastic. If I keep going at my current pace, I'll need to fly to Turkey. Ugh, genetics.

[@kb1esx]

So close to splashing...

[@DaveHines1]

I’m sure they could make shiny micro chain plate earrings 🤣😜🍻

[@randylinn502]

I bet Lee enjoyed doing that... Hair update please... For I, myself am bald as well....

[@SailingCatalpa]

Update coming soon 😁

[@rickdaniel8478]

Rock on 😊 Cheers

[@AustinBoil]

Ok so I was going along with the "Legendary Strength" theme until the end when Lee was attempting to break the old chain plate & it slipped to "Allegedly Legendary Strength".

[@reloadncharge9907]

You folks are loving the video views in the yard…….vs day to day how we spend our days sailing…..eventually you need to launch and compete with 2,747 other channels! But looking forward to those days again, thanks, Andrew

[@andrewchristopher7138]

Hi

[@stretch34318]

2024 has been a year of Boatyard Catalpa, a new channel name if this continues for much longer...

[@jamessandman3708]

It is part of the boating world. I appreciate their hard work and as they have asked for patience and expressed their gratitude for us staying with them then I shall continue to do so. They will be back in the water really soon...⛵⛵⛵

[@robbiebyrne-ue7wl]

happy new hair captin lol

[@jeffbeckychudek4675]

Would love to see a family outing in the area, any cool parks, waterfalls, or beaches close by? Maybe you do work 24/7…

[@SailingCatalpa]

Not much here and yeah we are trying to get back out on the water 😉

[@darrenleask6042]

The problem with having TPS, PVC cable running vertically is over a period of time the insulation WILL run and the cables will fail.

[@bigmikes2140]

How painful was the hair transplant surgery?

[@sails3538]

Oh....and turkey is an industry leader in hair transplants too...

[@jameselpers2967]

The hairline is looking good mate.

[@guydriver]

Thinking a second nut on one bolt rather than behind your load for the ground.

[@iainlyall6475]

ooh third 😃 did you think of having titanium plates made? i think they're supposed to be very strong but maybe a little expensive. 😬 maybe 4th 😁

[@bottledungdungwekwek]

Hahaha, you need more weeties !

[@bluecamel547]

Where did you get that awesome straw hat?

[@SailingCatalpa]

Mexico 🇲🇽

[@jvodan]

cutting out chain plates from stainless steel blanks with an angle grinder would destroy the heat treatment and the activation of the stainless steel for corrosive prevention

[@michaelsenior7858]

I fink the moral story of this video 📹 is ....get yourself a aluminium boat ...they don't use chain plates and they don't leak water after time...........😊

[@sails3538]

LoL..... aluminum corrodes just by looking at it. My 6000 series aluminum bimmini is corroding in the sea of Cortez. Aluminium is garbage for boats.

[@michaelsenior7858]

​@sails3538 ..you are finking of the dark ages when most people believed the world was flat ......aluminium boats 🚢 have come a long way after a thousand years .....

[@SailingCatalpa]

Great point we live aluminium boats too

[@alanmolloy3661]

When did you become a framer? I thought you were a sailor ⛵️ . LOL. Wow, that chain ⛓️ plate was F up. Sorry, I'm Irish.

[@brokenmechanic]

That'll just buff out

[@sails3538]

Hey catalpa....was that you sailing down the middle of the sea of Cortez on Saturday night. ???

[@SailingCatalpa]

I wish no not yet ☺️

[@bottledungdungwekwek]

Mate, I have been away from the channel for a while, I am back because I miss your great, real life content. But Lee, you look like you just got a hair transplant ! Did I miss anything? Or are you less follicley challenge than most of us men your age ?.

[@SailingCatalpa]

Haha he did see previous video for the story of where and how 😉

[@The_Riddler21]

[@jamielyons7054]

I'm curious or confused maybe but do you have 2 channels? What's "Life on the sea"? Are there 2 boats named Catalpa?

[@SailingCatalpa]

We had another channel @lifeonthesea we were posting on when our main one got its comments taken away but stopped after our comments came back ☺️

[@jamielyons7054]

@SailingCatalpa thank you 😁 I was enjoying your family adventures but I got a bit mixed up and I haven't had the opportunity to dedicate time for learning but soon I'll be able to have a binge watch ..... God bless and safe travels

[@SailingCatalpa]

@jamielyons7054 yeah sorry for the confusion happy binge watching 🤗

[@frodosadventures8757]

I dont think cats and varnishing mix!

[@SailingCatalpa]

No they don’t 😉
