Great tunes while repairing the boat leads to great Karma

[@type1krush205]

Love your Gung ho get it done attitude !!! I pretty much done the same thing as u guys around 15 years ago, Bought a 30 foot diesel cruiser on a whim , had no experience at all but learned through mistakes and my kids had Great adventures here in the UK out at Sea all summer !!! I'm nearly 50 now and my advice to young people is take the chance and have no regrets ! Your an inspiration guys keep it up and I'm subbed 👍

[@chadstinson9886]

The sailing ⛵️ community is some of the friendliest and helpful people you will ever meet.

[@rkstreeter]

You got that right 😎

[@rkstreeter]

That's what I fell in love about sailing ...the peeps!!!😜

[@cmac9248]

Insane amount of work , I hope you get years of joy from your boat ✨ Thanks for sharing

[@susansinclair4914]

What an amazing difference between myself (as I 'update my 18 mtr steel cruiser) and these guys. I heard no stressed swearing, no cursing of the boats or the weather gods, and witness no hurling of tools into the ocean. They sound like a great bunch of guys to be around. Well done maties!

[@perfectscotty]

You should do a video on your boat updates.

[@cloe811]

hahahaaa, brilliant, takig of the tape off the side by rolling it up turning the head hahaha, best joke ever :-D working the most efficient ever possible. The result is great, congrats on renovating the rig !!!

[@Chaskai1]

Holy hell it’s real. I’m so glad you made this and it’s up for the world to see 🙏👁️🙏 bless you

[@chgofdsteve]

OMG YES!! We need more sailing channels like this!!

[@Aaron.deRuiter]

Yo yo, yep cats are definitely the way to go!... Thought you might be interested in a 20ft catamaran I'm building near Sydney Australia... kzbin.info/www/bejne/onmseqZ3npiGnJI Cheers, Aaron

[@Dexerion]

Dude John was the man! He gave you so much stuff!

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Absolutely. Nicest guy!!

[@rkstreeter]

I hope you drag him out for a sail

[@flutterbyeflutters]

I couldn’t stop laughing. Yes, I’m following.

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Hahaha thanks

[@martinswindowcleaning758]

At first glance 6K looked like a good deal for the boat. Yet, after we see how rotten the boat is, hmmm they should have gave it to you. No matter that, I like seeing all the passion you guys have for the project, and doing what it took to make her Sea Worthy... Best Wishes! Carry on!

[@Bri-wi8kq]

Congratulations on your new cat! Looks like you're really cutting out all the rot. Love your enthusiasm and energy - keep going hard and get out splashing before the boatyard blues set in! Great economising with the boom truck - I once stepped my mast with ropes under a bridge... LoL! Thank you for sharing your adventures. Brian, Sydney, Top Hat 25'

[@anthonyalmonte8280]

i love the teamwork. great music ,and the American free soul, that's the dream

I'm dropping a G'day so you know I was watching from the beginning!!!

[@MrRheingold]

TOP Restauration! LIKE IT! Best sailing!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@rickcreel3657]

I have built three boats, and the problems I see with plywood, and coldmolded boats are built into them the day that they are built. After WW 11 my uncle, and dad worked for Huckins Yachet Corperation. The company built PT boats for the war then after the war they made the Fairform Flyer Yachet. They didn't have epoxie, but they used a purple glue that they had to keep refrigerated. The wood was Hondurin Mahogany, and it was 2 layers that were laid double diagonal total of five eights thick. Many of these boats are still ariound today.

[@DavidPaulNewtonScott]

You are 100% correct and that glue was rescourcinol. I would go long diagonal two layers only all is revealed and all can be fixed.

[@mwcinci]

First, are you from the future? Second, how bad were ww3 thru 10?

[@bizim_eller]

@@mwcinci 🤣🤣🤣

[@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347]

coldmolded?

[@davidotness6199]

Cool! And I got to hear Larry Coryell's guitar work on "Memphis Underground," Herbie Mann's classic 1969 release again. I'm shopping for a similar deal on a tri or a cat. Glad you guys got 'er done!

[@jimrowan946]

1:31 pm Sept 27 2024 You guys are amazing and brave take on such a task. I'm glad to see it floating and sailing and wish you the most luck.

[@moriver3857]

Definitely not the typical refit. Not for the faint of heart. Fair winds.

[@Burley_Bert]

Right off the bat I'm subbing for the never ending summer vibes oozing from this

[@johnryan2193]

Great journal of a lot of fun and lots of work, not for the faint of heart. Good luck

[@zwiatremnampodrodze]

The drums... You just rock guys! Fun to watch you 😂

[@qscwdvefb60]

Top notch tunes boys. Looking forward to following along. Cheers

[@stattack5855]

i love this type of videos, u guys are truly a good vibe,, really hope to see more

[@Lallxicht]

I would have loved to have been there just because of the music you played all day.

[@borango]

Wow - so educational, inspiring and entertaining! I love your technical skills, your positive energy and your humour. Thank you guys!

[@lukeduke3001]

definitely the best music iv heard on a you tube video for a long time

[@mikesails100]

Well done you two, and we’ll fixed too. Looking forward to the next video!

[@RayTeerlink]

I am a woodworker and getting those pieces at 20:32 either took a lot of skill or even more trial and error. My hat is off to you guys.

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Hey I really appreciate that, I was proud of how most of that turned out, certainly the biggest boat project I have ever taken on. Had we known how rotten that whole boat was before buying it I don’t think we would have. Thank god for pure ignorance I don’t regret a thing! Ps I finally bought another catamaran and this one has almost no wood!!!! New episodes coming soon

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

This will be the boat that beer built. Kind of like my bus conversion. Had to replace a lot of rusty metal when I started my project. Some beer helps make the work easier. Maybe not safer but somehow easier.

[@kevinhutchinson6118]

Have just picked you guys up fantastic ...have been watching Parlay Revial for 9 months now love watching people recycling older or damage boats good luck guys will follow.

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Thank you! Stay tuned, it’s gonna be a fun journey!!!

[@greenwave819]

The new word is "upcycle". These guys upcycled a "time cultivated" boat!!!

[@loyddussaultsr4181]

The best investment is a survey by a reputable marine surveyor the cost would have been well worth it. They should have been paid to haul it away not paid 6 grand for it. Just a thought from a guy who has purchased and repaired several sailboats and saved money by a second set of unbiased party. Just a thought

[@TropicTrdr]

I just found your channel and enjoyed this video. A friend of mine commanded the Coast Guard Cutter in Port Townsend. I've heard that there were a lot of great wooden boat people there.

[@markthomasson5077]

Nice cat, you will have many happy adventures, look forward to joining you on your journey

[@greenwave819]

bro you can't just invite urself on their journey like that.

[@Tunnelrat6666]

Huge balls to take that on HUGE!

Nice production ,Enjoy Your Adventures Fellas

[@susiericherts2390]

You guys are awesome! So excited for you that you are following your dream!! Enjoy every moment!!

Lol you guys my idol doin it how i want a cat, my surfboards and the kites🙌

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice work. I am sure the original builder is glad to see his boat back in the water.

[@stefanieobermeder2065]

Apart frm your undying optimism and persistence, your working sound tracks compel me to be your friend

[@WOWTODAZ]

hahahaha 2 weeks hahahaha, but even two months, i got much respect for that!!! heads off, what a work!

[@snicks50]

also thanks to the reg number.. I added it to the insurance list and also boat reg good luck on resale

[@MohamedOmar-wh4zc]

Good job and excellent deal. 6k cat with a windvane. You are set. Enjoy...

[@JOATMOFA]

You guys are *EXTREMELY LUCKY* to have gotten this catamaran!

[@charlie6751]

Maybe 600$ would have been a more realistic price to pay for her well done guys on the hard work and dedication put in , boat work is never easy

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Hahah ya if we would have done more investigating before hand I don’t think we would have even bought it, so I have to say I’m glad we were just dumb enough to take it on. Ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my stupid little life! Excited to say I have recently bought another 30 foot cat and this one is pretty much all fiberglass wooooo!!!!!!! New episodes coming soon :)

[@musaelsaidi]

Brilliant job with a great narrative. Enjoy your boat and sail safely. Congratulations...

[@leojoseph6385]

This was a truly inspiring project to capture and share with us! Great job on restoring it to sailable condition!

[@michaelm.apostol2229]

min 21 i cant watch this any longer you guys are my heros, i would never ever embark on such restoration the amount of time and money you've spent must be far greater then buying a newer boat lol. My hats off to yas. Phenomenal amount of work!

[@jo3ywils0n39]

Lesson for anyone watching, When buying a boat, bring a small padded hammer, or mallet to check the density of any material, fiberglass or wood.

[@jwillar6173]

Better yet, bring along someone who knows something about boats - like a marine surveyor!

[@jo3ywils0n39]

@@jwillar6173 That's a great idea, but I wouldn't pay for a survey on every boat I look at, that's a waste - Insurance companies usually require a survey, so it's common practice to make a purchase offer conditional to the results of a survey (basically covering the new owners ass to make sure they can get insurance). I see what you're saying, but not exactly relevant when going to check out yard boats...

[@jwillar6173]

@@jo3ywils0n39 I certainly would take a marine surveyor along to look at a wooden boat that’s been sitting outside in someone’s yard in Washington for 10 years. A few hundred dollars that a survey would cost, could sure be a deal breaker and save me the $6,000.00 for buying nothing more than firewood.

[@getmedc]

Don't forget to wear your masks when cutting and sanding, that's some nasty shit to be inhaling.

[@jiminauburn5073]

Great video. A couple of buddies deciding to rebuild a cheap boat on the cheap. Not some $500K hurricane damaged boat. Look forward to the rest of the videos.

Nice stuff man, she's and interesting boat. I subbed, keep em coming!

[@lukeboelitz]

Just watched everything. Skate video vibes. Glad you guys didn’t spend too much time fussing over the boat. Honestly two months is quick considering everything you did. Excited to see where your travels take you.

You guys are thorough in your repairs.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Yeah, with a predominately wooden boat you're always gonna get plenty of nasty surprises . I subbed :)

[@sailingpopao]

Great stuff guys, your laughter and attitude in the face of a challenge is very admirable. Was not a single moment I wanted to fast forward. As owners of a ply catamaran also it’s awesome to be reminded on how everything can be fixed relatively easily. Hit us up when you finally make it across the ditch, would be keen have a few beers! Your refit soundtrack sounds like you stole our playlist also 👌👌

[@brianlowe753]

That tape removal clip had me rolling good luck with mods.

[@sailingwithunkorahj1665]

Hahaha us too. Thanks!

[@mostlyguesses8385]

Interesting video thank you. Even without mast a sailboat can be boosted 2mph by waves and wind, so add a tiny motor and you can go places without mast. My Ericson 25 in Galveston has tiny sail rarely with unfurling but still a sailboat is stable and great .... Good luck. .. I myself avoid wind and waves, sunny boating is funner and you'll live longer....

[@CubanOverlander]

Hey! Seriously guys! You must chare the Spotify Playlist you were listening at!! The hell of a good music! Despite the amazing work you have done with the cat still the playlist is better yet. Awesome video! Good job!!
