I’ve seen every episode and for me this episode is *the* best of Sailing Uma. Boat building. Truck nerding. Paddle boarding. Sardinia drone shots. It has it all. 🙌

[@SailingUma]

Awe thanks!!! We’ve seem to have dialled in a solid work life balance in this refit now.

[@bbk2325]

Did I miss the WEDDING?😢

[@joeybryan7065]

I agree

[@internetposta7389]

It's a sailing vlog. You'r favorite is one where they do no sailing? Sure.

[@SteinVarjord]

@@internetposta7389This is KZbin. You spend your time complaining that someone likes something? Sure!

[@thomask5295]

UMA is really starting to live up to her name , as in one UNIQUE boat. "UMA" of a kind. 😁

[@Durkan34]

I have to admit, I rewatched the bit where you got the big zap several times. Lmao. 😂

[@rashabba7846]

Nice to see UMA coming back to life. "Kick the tires & light the fire" 🔥

[@jakeyboy8402]

Your toughness and tenacity is impressive!

[@paduag1782]

Awesome, the most awesome thing to watch is how great you guys enjoy each other. 😊

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you kids! As soon as you say it rarely rains . . . it rains. Take care of yourselves and enjoy your time off. ❤

[@iamasgroup]

Oh dear, indeed she is the most adorable colourful "bipolar" 🤣 wive and you are lucky to walk in life path with her. You guys are such a lovely couple. You inspire us and I wish you all the best 💗

[@faircompetition1203]

The tube idea was brilliant . Done overhead glassing before and it is a nightmare .

[@alexfullmer4707]

Man, I heard that snap! You two are ELECTRIFYING!😂

[@adamhenderson001]

Very good to see you guys outside and enjoying the sun again!

[@mikeh720]

The way you two incorporate ads in your videos is amazing! I didn't even have the awareness to skip the battery ad until you started with the absolutely stunning drone shots!

[@Cre8sumthing]

Sometimes, I just have to just pause and appreciate. Some of your "still" shots are so beautifully composed. ETA: That whole Rover rig has come together so nicely. There really is no half-steppin' with you two. I thought my adventures were over, but you have me thinking maybe a few more.

[@Gpcas9]

Even I was flinching when I heard that discharge ;-)

[@marcoartini7480]

Thank you for choosing Sardinia for your refit guys and sharing these beautiful shots! Bravi! :)

[@JoyfulEngineer2024]

Two wives? Did we miss a wedding? I remember the engagement…

[@bbk2325]

Same question I asked...?

[@mandelbrot5]

I am 100% jealous of your rig. I would love to have one to travel in.

[@mikeh720]

Dan talking: *scritch* say anything, with gestures (how Italian) *scritch* LOL

[@judithcatlett8518]

That was a good plan. Glad you’re giving your bodies and mind a rest.

[@marcellacruser951]

Oh, the places she's going to go! She's so strong now. I'm excited that you're finally getting to the making her back into a home part. The truck stuff is fun but I miss you two on the water. Do you think it's going to feel like a completely different boat, or do you think she'll retain the old Uma handling feel?

[@SailingUma]

Well. We won't really know until we get there. But, I can tell you that when we glassed over the deck joint in Guatemala all those years ago, we noticed a significant improvement in her handling. I think this refit will blow that out of the water. But for us, it's less important. As long as she doesn't squeak, we'll take it as a WIN!

[@carenclemmons5002]

Those squeaking riffs will certainly run you outta the house!!! I’m with ya on that one.

[@joecole5052]

At the risk of being a doom and gloom merchant...........make sure you've got adequate ventilation. Other than the companionway, I think everything is sealed up. An atmosphere full of acetone, resin or paint fumes could make a big bang if the aircon sparks when it turns on. I've seen it happen with fumes from contact adhesive. Other than that, great job. It's great to see you breathing new life into a boat which has looked after you over the last few years.

[@mikequinlan9585]

The best line is, “It’s going to look like a home again.” The look on Kiki’s is priceless! 😊

[@dougmonroe3381]

I enjoyed your weekend away from boatwork! You know what they say: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." -- and you don't want to live with that one, Kika (even though his name is Dan). I look forward toward more of this balance in your upcomng videos as well! 😜

[@peterstockless7652]

That nasty old hull liner on your overhead provided an air gap and a way for condensation to run without falling on your head. Similar to the inner Ceiling in the hulls of old wooden boats. My Bristol Corinthian, with a balsa cored deck and no head liner gets pretty wet with condensation when it gets below 60 deg F. I have a small cabin so the RH might be higher, but you may need a liner or more insulation above when you go back to cold weather areas.

[@SeaYaSailing]

That's one way of keeping the spark in a relationship.....looking good guys, Uma is going to be a battleship when she is done

[@petersaccocia4510]

When you were in your full suits and masks, mixing the epoxy and applying the glass with the rappish music playing I got a strong Breaking Bad vibe. Like you were building a secret meth lab.

[@SailingUma]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5expXyLqK2fh6Msi=JYOt86kCZMZW1N0D&t=747

[@ghost307]

I feel like it's time to break out the silks again. If Kika's too tired from working on the boat all week, maybe Dan can show off his expertise in the air.

[@chrisgraythereal]

Probably too late to tell you this, but you can zigzag large pieces of cut wetted fibreglass, and sit the pile on a piece of timber or something. You hold that in one hand, start at one side of the ceiling, and use the other hand to roller it as you move away. Used to do long runs of heavy wallpaper this way in Germany, sitting on a wooden step ladder and rocking from side to side to walk it forwards.

[@Kathikas1]

Appreciate that this is long past but cleaning up epoxy can be inexpensive and safe using white vinegar - for larger projects use even cheaper diluted acetic acid

[@scottgirard3988]

I've been fiberglassing my '98 pathfinder rust spots. You two make it look so effortless and I know it isn't.. You are a great team.

[@allenclark1914]

Great video… Off-roading, water sports, drone shots and fiberglassing,, thank you for bringing us along.

[@rogerstone3068]

Magic moment when the simple, homespun plink-plink soundtrack turns out to be Kika playing the ukelele LIVE - whoever thought of that one, bonus point. Love your video skills.

[@bdphourde]

Good looking overhead glassing job! That was a good idea to take us all to the beach! I, for one, needed to get away from the implied resin smells & itchy glass. And who knew you could do finger welding via peel-ply removal! Now you have no excuse for not adding a stainless steel top rail to your lifelines! By the way, you have a very unique, simple, and iconic opening and closing to your episodes with the boat horn and sailor's whistle that blazes the way for the UMA experience! I love it!

[@kevinhummel7910]

Regarding insulation, cork is about R 1.4 per centimeter. You might want to consider adding another layer or two. New house ceilings have around R 40. Good Luck! Love watching your videos.

[@Tomm9y]

The shared static was funny. I hope you will add some ribs and insulation to the cabin top.

[@BadenBadenSwitzerBaden]

I see Italian gestures, but love the sticky Tyvek sound effects @7:37

[@tartansailor]

If you were to install a sheet of aluminum foil on the interior of the cabin top to cut down on the sun Infra red rays, you would notice the cabin would be cooler. Cheers, Richard

[@rgp6570]

Amazing work... so: very anxious and excited to see your plans for the rebuilding of the interior. You had shown us some of this before the demolition got underway, but it would be great if you would do a re-cap. I imagine you may revise some of that now you have literally "first, second, third.... hand" knowledge of every square centimeter of the new shell of Uma. I know you have been "one with Uma" for a long time now, but now she is hard-wired into your genetic memory.

[@SailingUma]

We have the full plans and 3D model up on Discord.

[@markskowronski499]

The never ending camping trip/ adventure . love it. bless you both . stay safe , stay healthy. thank you for sharing with us out there on net. Hello from Vancouver!!!!

[@paulas_lens]

That ukulele bit was sweet. :)

[@carenclemmons5002]

I really enjoyed the tune you picked out on the uke. Keep it up. The story has begun on the uke also.

[@jonathanbresler6721]

So glad to see that you both have full face respirators...they make such a difference. Had I known how good they are I would have never used a mask (nose and mouth only).

[@flatophall]

UMA was born and I graduated high school the following year. Your production is wonderful to watch. You've even managed to make the glassing scenes fun. Love the music. Best to you guys!!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

That nighttime drone shot was cool. I don't think I've ever seen one like that. Also the rainy camp shots are great too.. nothing more soothing than the sound of rain on a tent or car top.

[@ottovangogh9477]

From Turkey, Atticus is headed back your way. Preggers again! 😯 Invite them to drop by, go camping! And Beach Competition II...!!! 🇨🇦🌊🌊🌊⚓⛵🌍⛵⚓🌊🌊🌊🇺🇲

[@SailingUma]

oh but they would have a huge advantage ... more crew on their side . we would for sure lose ;)

[@Jolleseileren]

Godt laget film-snutt and to sympatiske mennesker!

[@seanmolony-redstickastro238]

Yall really have a charmed life! You earned it to be sure. You should get some small swim goggles to attach them to your boards so you can throw them on and look around under water while boarding

[@dienadel30]

Dang it when you canceled your alarms you canceled my alarms ! My iPhone was like ok.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Siri on the loose.

[@l_alvarez_1k]

So exciting to see so much progress! I can’t wait to see the inside start coming together! Love and hugs to you guys from California❤

[@paulhellewell9468]

Had to snicker when I heard that 'snap' the last time you discharged your static charge. I was waiting for that 'ouch', I knew by hearing it, it was a good strong charge...but then again you two have always had that power between you. Nice video, try to have some fun.lol

[@loisphillips5826]

Great video. Nice drone shots. Nice to see you enjoying yourselves too. Thanks for sharing.

[@rolandtb3]

The beach, scenic drone shots and dinner doused by rain. Missed the cabin/V-berth deck bounce or flexibility test. Soon more interior boat work.

[@kb1esx]

Kika, it's kick the tires & light the fire. I think.😂

[@Dutchy-1168]

I’m happy to see you two are still hard at it … good luck to you both ! ‼️‼️🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@alexandral6273]

You can very VERY proud of all this hard work you’ve been doing since you stopped sailing ! 😊

[@MikeJones-wl6gb]

Why ya'll don't have at least a million subs is a mystery to me. Loved the "spark" towards the end....great episode yet again!

[@DM-eb7tu]

UMA, looking awesome. Thanks guy's.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

You two seem to make it look easy, it's not but experience will out. Have fun.

[@pwysor]

Love that ARB compressor. Killer you’ve got it installed.

[@d14551]

So glad to see the progress you are making and that you are indeed balancing work with relaxation.

[@p.t.anderson1593]

Really cool step/episode! I liked the work play balance and the update on the truck improvements (they give me ideas for my RV/truck situation). Cheers!

[@iancooper2213]

Thanks guys nice glassing and nice beach

[@malpalagi]

Thanks for sharing your lovely meals. I got a kick out of seeing the Sweet Baby Ray's on the table.

[@janeconnors1807]

Everyone needs a period for recovery and after the slog you put yourselves through its needed and well deserved and thank you for sharing with us

[@coldwarveteran4239]

I’ve watched from the beginning episodes.. you two have grown so much and gone so far. You are letting the wind take your lives to places I bet you never dreamed of back in school. Your content is a great mix. Thank you for sharing your growth and adventure with us.

[@julieinak]

Great camp set up...chairs, table,awning!

[@HellyWelly93]

What a stunning beach!

[@therickman1990]

Can't wait for the actual building of the interior to begin!

[@tonimoreu4991]

Maybe is a bit late, but you should try removing de peelply in the dark. You'll see the magic of it (your fingers have reminded me of that day I removed some peelply on a very dark corner of my sailboat). It took me a while to understand why there was such a magic "wave" of light)

[@infoauto8278]

great episode guys !!!!!!

[@ApexWoodworks]

Terrific teamwork, you two!

[@davidnichols147]

Love the new battery from EcoFlow, will be a game changer. Interior is really looking good, best with project!

[@brickerhaus]

Everytime you lifted your arms there was this ripping sound. Had me in stitches. 🤣

[@jasonc9362]

Great work guys!

[@Randiolman]

It's looking good . every time I watch an episode you are making great headway , thanks for the hard work you two are doing,

[@dylanwebb9584]

Love the Defender.

[@0xKruzr]

Uma is no longer a Pearson 36. she is a DK Shipyards 36.

[@holyngrace7806]

So kewl! Way to go folks!

[@janisconley290]

Kika you are so cute. You guys are so real and genuine - not out to impress "the people" but just living your own, authentic life. So love watching you guys rebuild The Uma! God bless you and keep you and prosper you

[@richardwallinger1683]

Team work .. great minds think alike .been there done my bit scraped the molds from plaster and laid up the structural shell of my 1980 Donnington GT championship winning ground effects car. In 1980 there was no other ground effects car in my class. Both the cornering , braking were phenomenal.Memories ..

[@soggybottom3463]

Kika and Dan 🤗🤗 Rockin' it guys xx🤗🤗 (and that island is SOOOOO pretty!) 🤗🤗

[@jamielyons7054]

You guys did a great job and the music was fun🎉🎉

[@stephencwinans]

I love Dan’s “super good enough”

[@liessssssssable]

Nice episode!❤

[@carltontweedle5724]

The hard work you two put in the weekend is much needed. Two wife's just being greedy mate. But she is a grafter put's in a good shift.

[@davidseslar5798]

When I first saw the title, I read it as "Striving To Balance My Two Wives" . . . which would also be a good episode! 😁

[@BJ-xs7np]

I heard the snap of the electrical charge! That's one way to get your heart pumping!

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Nicely done.

[@christopherforster6555]

Like the land Rover good setup just the job for you guys and the boats coming on take care.

[@michaels1997]

So good that you have to take the weekend's "off". We've just finished a 3 year house demolish/rebuild and if we'd done the same, I'm sure it would have been a much more enjoyable "way of life" experience. To enjoy the work, you really do need to enjoy the rest and play! Great channel - hope you keep enjoying broadcasting for a long time to come! Best wishes from the UK, where there's precious little opportunity for sunbathing!!

[@WildLiveTV]

Installed the EcoFlow charger yesterday…awesome piece of equipment!

[@carenclemmons5002]

Kika, you got the look goin on with those lovely designer relaxed ware in black pantalones with tube top. Life is looking great on both of your bodies. Very glad you have ‘off’ weekends. The perfect spot indeed. Thanks for sharing. I sure wish I could follow the importance of that new eco equipment. The impact of that system is awesome for yalls lifestyle. Your ‘land-barge’ vehicle is enviable for sure. So sleek and beautiful. That sweet Uma is coming along superbly. Be safe and happy. See ya later.

[@b.scottgould]

I have an off grid garage and use an EcoFlow Delta Pro (3600w) to power all my tools. I can even weld with it! Absolutely the best purchase I have ever made. Solar plugs directly into it and the only other hardware is a switch and fuse. No matter how hard I try or how many power tools I use I don't come close to getting anywhere near empty.

[@paulas_lens]

Sardinia is on my list of places to visit now. Looks beautiful.

[@danmcbride6258]

You guys are very lucky. I love your free lifestyle, yes you work very hard but you know how to relax and have FUN. 👍🇨🇦

[@ollebrandt]

It is soo nice to see you guys in action. One of the things is that you have designed a lot of things in a masterful manner... Now when you have a quite bare "shell" I guess that you have Wiring/Plumbing design in mind..? Like adding extra "future -proof" cable and pipe channels, like extra stringers... and they actually could support the strength

[@stephenroskilly3737]

How to cram significant work and play into one epi. Really good to see this major milestone achieved. A bit more downhill from hereon in🎉🎉.

[@tomriley5790]

Uma's looking so good!

[@kathrynlitchfield7140]

22:37 you are becoming true off-readers! ❤❤❤❤ This is the best sign of a good weekend.

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you

[@Jonathanbaker]

Nice progress

[@jimfisk4474]

Hi you both, I'll give you An A −4 today, ha ha, Looking good and enjoy you As always.❤❤❤
