£2000 Yacht TIMELAPSE TRANSFORMATION - 16months in minutes #76

Timelapse of the entire project to date, right from the very start with lots of never before seen footage.

We want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way and here are the links if you'd like to help us out at all on this amazing journey.

Well done job! You are a great team!

Do you need the carbon fiber pole for the shelt?

[@Колорад-д9й]

Junk rig?

[@SailingMelody]

Noooo cutter rig

[@Heimrik01]

Hello from France, may I ask, where is this located ? So how far is the restoration now ? How much money and time did you spent on it until now ?

[@timothymorrell4023]

To me the BEST part of this whole thing is that the quality time spent with your family will be the lasting memories long after the boat is gone.

[@luckent47]

a lot of people think theyre too lazy and too stupid to try and do something like this. but what they really are is uninspired and lonely. watching you all get together and do this is very inspiring and motivating. its a great model to emulate: working together with a goal and keeping each other going. thank you for sharing it. youre doing a lot more than just fixing a yacht, youre demonstrating love and teamwork. its a lovely melody.

[@swanhamilton9106]

Speak for your self. The lonely ppl are watching this video right now 😜

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@Shane888 Davies Boats are a financial disaster though despite all the other good things. Just bottomless money pits, so you can talk the talk, but you also need a good disposable income, or a decent capital sum you don't mind losing.

[@chrisc395]

Damn...after all these years of thinking I was lazy and stupid when in fact I'm just uninspired and lonely. Thank you Mr. Wizard for such a profound statement.

[@BotanyDegreePilkerton]

lol right haha we are just uninspired and lonely hee hee all of us ha ha

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@Shane888 Davies Everything. It's very easy to eulogise about the pleasures and benefits of fixing up a boat. Or to label people as lazy, stupid, or uninspired for not doing so. But probably the most important reason people don't is they don't have wads of cash or bottomless pockets. It's not even much of an investment because, such is power of the ocean, it will all need doing again in 10 years time.

[@notwocdivad]

I was wondering when you look back at the boat before you started do you ever think "We must have been crazy"? Well I for one am pleased you did! You three have entertained, amused and at times amazed me with your endeavours. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with you all! Roll on 2022 and more SAILING MELODY! Thankyou.

[@3in1Machining]

Andy...What an achievement, and such a supportive Wife and Son you have. You and your family are going to know your boat inside and out and when you set sail, moreover you will have the technical ability to repair anything whilst at sea. Follow your dreams, your doing the right thing. A new subscriber..

[@daveedwards4114]

Well done! A beautiful memory you have all contributed to for years to come

[@clahmarenterprises1623]

It's amazing how much the 3 of you have accomplished in a little over a year!!! And Jack will have these memories for the rest of his life!

[@peps1965]

Dad was a fisherman for 50 years, and owned his last boat for 25 years. In that time she underwent several transformations, a fair few gallons of paint and tons of loving! The video was wonderful to watch and I wish you and your family well in your amazing adventure!

Wonderful seeing that young man earning his time on the boat and supporting his family!! Well done young man!!!

[@Themothershipsailing]

Man you guys have earned every ounce of sunshine and fair winds when you put her to sea - a) for loving a boat back to life and b) for the sweat equity as a family.. I’m almost as excited as you must be to see her in the water!!

[@zakiwidodo6623]

I'm getting speechless 😶... It's awesome.. Can't hardly wait for her to set sail 👍 👍

[@stephenpenney6774]

Melody, through all your hard work has come a very long way. She looked very sorry for herself originally but now looks superb externally. Andy I know you do keep it all going by having to work to bring the beer tokens in, that must be very difficult knowing Melissa is doing her thing while you’re away, and what an amazing job she’s doing. Melissa is a fantastic driven one woman army tackling jobs many would shy away from. Well done all of you. Captain Jack, you’re a great lad a credit to mum and dad. Looking forward to your start in the new year. Stay safe and well, see you soon.

[@normanboyes4983]

It is only by seeing this in retrospect can one only fully appreciate the scale of the project you have so bravely undertaken. It is this retrospect that so ably demonstrates both your teamwork and the the considerable progress you have made in such a relatively short time. Well done and thank you for sharing. 😀👍⛵️

[@williamastin9317]

You should be so proud that you did that as a Family and you'll never forget the time you spent together.

[@marcushutton5273]

Hats off to all of you. So few people have the skills or the will to take on this kind of project these days. You’ve saved a boat. Happy sailing folks - you deserve fair winds.

[@steveanton763]

What do you mean these days? Are less people fixing up boats than they used to? Was there a time when taking on this kind of project was more common? We have KZbin and chat rooms to help with and inspire these kinds of projects.

[@marcushutton5273]

@@steveanton763s very much. As a kid in the 70s men like my dad (we had small cruisers and dinghies ), lots of people, had light engineering skills and weren’t afraid to turn a piece of metal on a lathe, do some carpentry, varnishing, engine mechanics. wiring etc Of course there are people like you who still can but not so many in the general population. I’m also UK based where most people don’t have the time or space for hobbies any more and/or just haven’t learnt. In the US it seems more common as a lot of folk have been in the military and have practical skills and there’s more light industry - so transferable skills. And perhaps a bit more disposable income to tinker.

[@davegoddard231]

awsome to see a couple come together on a project like this he is a very lucky man to have a partner that is both skilled and hard working among other things I am sure

I admire the fact that the whole family got stuck into what can only be described as rescuing a boat that was really only fit for the scrap yard. Lots of dedicated hard work so far and much more to do and a family who will have a wonderful seaworthy craft to enjoy when completing their hard work. Congratulations on what you have achieved so far.

[@joansalva6633]

Congratulations to the whole family for their excellent restoration work, which I understand perfectly since I am the owner of a steel sailboat.

a background music that doesn’t suck what a revelation

HHaha we get mixed reviews on the music. I was a session guitarist for 25 years and I do tend to prefer using real instruments. Having said that I wasn’t 100% happy with some of the music tracks I chose on the Timelapse edit.’it was 4 in the morning by the time I was adding the music and I personally think I made a few bad choices there but at least it isn’t banging dance music eh 😂😂😂

[@greggramig910]

I must comment. That was completely astounding. It was not clear whether this vessel could be salvaged from all the decay and degradation this old girl had accumulated over her life. I have seen many old houses recovered from many years. My thought has always been to just throw in the towel and start anew from the ground up. This is one that I don't think I would have undertaken. But, refreshingly, you have done an incredible job. The videography was excellent and thorough. You brought to life the effort and detail of your endeavor here. My hat is off to all of you. She is now coming to a "new" life because of all your work. Her grandure is once again shining through. You guys are awesome. "Bully to You"!

I was watching this with my heart in my mouth…all I kept saying was “that is one brave family”…it’s one thing to tackle a project like this with a compressor, sandblaster and plenty of space and POR15 in the warmth of the Australian climate but to do it in those conditions….bugger me!

It's so cool to see your family work together to accomplish something special during this global situation. Instead of staying home and complaining about life, you took on a big project and worked a lot of hours together to make it a reality. My guess is you'll be of the opinion "never again" but you'll not regret all it took to get to where you are today. Great job. Thanks for sharing your journey. I hope you inspire more people to stop complain and start tackling big projects in their own lives.
