Wooden sailboat restoration: we would have sunk until now - Sailing Yabá 176

[@SailingYaba]

Welcome to DAY 8 of our journey towards LAUNCH DAY! What should we tackle next?

[@waynedavidnance6131]

don't forget the bilge pump

[@bigslim492]

A guard or cover over the prop shaft and the belts and pulleys on the front of the engine.

[@namer6643]

Bilge pumps, you'll be dead without them

[@johnmallette3143]

Rebuild another boat plzz n Tkzz ,.,.,ask papa if he willl do it.,.,,.

[@risto124]

5000L per minute pump should be minimum

[@robertarnold1449]

I really look forward to the progress you make each day. I am 92 years old, and you give me something to look forward to each day. Thank You!!

[@SailingYaba]

That is awesome! Thank you so much!

[@garyc5483]

Glad things are coming on well. Surely you need to have a black water collection tank onboard ? ie The disposal of a boat’s waste water is regulated by The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Feces and waste water have to be collected in a designated tank on board and can only be disposed of once the vessel has reached a certain distance from the coast. A disposal on inland waters as well as in some regions is strictly prohibited. In this case, the tank contents have to be disposed of via a designated vacuum sewerage system in the harbor. ATB regards from the UK

Your deck caulking is so utterly important. Keeping warm and dry in your beautiful cabins is vital to your rest and comfort.

[@suziecates9425]

I love all the old school methods are great! We are learning so much, I'm glad MP seems to be feeling a bit better, she's a cutie😊

[@TukangPerahukayu]

Hai sobat saya sangat senang dengan video yang sobat bagikan,, proses pembuatan boat yang sangat kokoh dan indah❤❤

[@111elf1]

you guys have no idea what your daily updates mean to me. Thank you sooo much for letting us all participate on your journey. i can hardly imagine the work that goes into such videos. i hope i get better before your videos will turn back to your regular schedule, because you two brighten up my day.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much! We’re wishing you healing vibes!

[@burkead]

I have seen every episode from the beginning when Duca and Roberta asked people to subscribe to your channel. I am so happy that you are on the last leg of projects to get into the water. I know the pressure is great, but I know you two will succeed. Keep you chins up and good luck!

[@janicecrouch523]

We always looked forward to your weekly updates, but now--EVERY DAY! You are amazing! Keep pressing on! You can do it!

[@maryjnorwood3962]

Artistry in action. Really great seeing a caulking iron! 😎🥰❤️❤️❤️💕

[@chrisevans8455]

I don't know how you and your crew can work so hard in that oppressive heat. Heroes, one and all.

[@robertdegraaf5215]

you are so committed. I cannot believe you are doing all this work and producing content daily. You two deserve so much love and accolades for your commitment! Best of luck in the future together.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!!

[@Scablifter01]

Fantastic work going on here, I love the way you both support each other. Like your style Ben, beer and bimini !

[@SailingYaba]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@kanartech]

I will be Happy for you to get 100k subscribers before the lunch day🎉

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much 😀

[@carlosmaldonado1116]

I can only say, you're great and deserve the best. I can't wait to see lunch day and celebrate the very well done hard work at its best.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!

[@gsh341]

I can't wait to see Yaba finally in the water. It will be even better to see it finally under sail like it's supposed to be. Keep up the great work!

[@SailingYaba]

Can't wait either!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

It will be interesting to see how she points to the wind!

[@waynedahl6904]

Did you really say “Bruce” and “Lee”? That caught my ear. 😁 Love your channel, the guys there are total craftsman.

[@Itssmial_Ova]

Brilliant! Loving the daily Videos! See you've gotten 1.2K subs since yesterday! You may indeed hit 100K by Launch! Exciting stuff!

[@douglasburch2320]

I'm beginning to smell water!! As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@charliegrant2270]

Boy oh boy. Your energy level must be running on vapours. Respect.👍🥵

[@diegobaeza5939]

There was a comment a few days ago about protecting the propeller driveshaft in the engine room, so it does not catch anyone. Please do so before launching Yaba, its very important for your safety! Warmest regards from Spain, fan since episode 1.

[@LPay-jy8mx]

Ben, you and the dream team are absolutely ROCKIN' IT! Keep up the hot pace, and wishing you great luck from 11,000 kms to your northwest. ❤Lee

[@ushi120]

Little tip for your Bimini! Use a 4mm dyneema rope and build a whoppie sling. A whoppie sling is a adjustable dyneema sling with full strength. Mostly used as a adjustable hammock suspension. Easy to make and a bunch of tutorials in KZbin. Never use knots in dyneema ropes, you lost 50-70% of breaking strength

[@simsjef]

MP, you are a great prophet when you said,” look at that lazy booger drinking a bear” - hey, give the guy a break. So enjoy the interaction between you two. Thanks for the daily updates. Oh yeah, Neeko will keep Ben between the ditches (out of trouble).

[@cherylhaugen1897]

Again, I have to say that I honestly enjoy watching the boat yard crew work!! You have a great crew working on Yaba! Professional and artistic! We have, and plan to, enjoy watching these episodes!

[@Maxdekriek]

YEAH!!! 8 day's daily Yaba.... loving every minuut .... great job guy's.... i am stil hoping that you guy's get to 100.000 subs before splash day........ so come on people let's subscribe and give them what they deserve ......... that silver youtube button!!!!! greetsz from friesland....max....😉😊❤💛💙

[@rolandtb3]

A bimini and a beer. Caulking final plank under the hull. Chain plates bent and polished. Thru hull valves purchased. "Expect, hope, plan, attempt, intend".

[@laptopuser3323]

G'day guys

[@seanhanlon5867]

its been an epic journey getting this far for you, i cant wait to see how she sits in the water..💪👊

[@davehine724]

You two just bring joy to every day!!! Thank you for that. Love you guys!

[@stvooplayhouse]

Love you guys can't wait for Splash ❤

[@chrisclarke3670]

You guys are working your butts off and everything is looking great. Thanks for all the great daily videos.

[@SailingYaba]

We are indeed! 😂 thank you!

[@philiphemmings3739]

Love these guys iv watched them since the very first start of their project, and am so happy for them both! :)

[@poorwotan]

While I have no idea if daily videos are good/bad for the algorithm, I do appreciate them. So often we see rebuilds that skip so much time that I think people think they are just the easiest thing in the world to do. These videos show the (sometimes) small incremental advances required to get to the end goal. Keep it up guys!!!

[@looyosummers5796]

So cool to see how things are done on wooden boats, the knowledge and skills of every one working on your boat.❤

[@timothytardiesr576]

Great day. Glad it did not rain on you. Keep being awesome.

[@richardchiriboga4424]

You must be exhausted!!! Great progress thought, and every day you are closer to launch day!!!❤

[@tomhollingsworth8201]

It’s going to be incredible, seeing you enjoy all the hard work that you’ve put in to transform Yaba into the beautiful lady she has become. Thanks for bringing us all on the journey Ben and MP!

[@jerrycooke6511]

I look forward to the tale of negotiations. You must be exhausted vidding every day and getting it all done. When you float, big party!!

[@kennethjunkert2990]

These daily videos are great.

[@janaferreira8882]

I am so freaking excited for you to get that boat in the water! 🎉 I just can't wait anymore, its driving me crazy. 😂😂😂 MP hope you are doing well, nice to hear your voice. Lol

[@omna826]

I have to say you 2 are killing this everyday videos we know it's alot of work but wish this won't stop ❤

[@piratejohan4888]

Yes 1 toilet 2 valve but don't put them to close to together it happens that you pump in what you are pumping out keep up the spirit you're nearly there

[@sagewilde6866]

I am so proud of you both. I've only seen the sea once. But I would love to sail. It feels good, living that dream by watching you and your shipwright family accomplish it. Happy adventures to you both!

[@oriontrust]

You guys are amazing! I have followed you since Day 1 and am SO impressed by what you're accomplishing, your honesty, and your great attitudes. Well done indeed!! I'm so excited for you...

[@dennisrobbins5451]

I applaud all the effort you two are putting into your dream! I also love the new format of daily content. I am curious if you've considered pouring water over your decks on a regular basis? I also follow a channel "Tally Ho". They are getting close to launch and Said in a recent video that they have begun pouring seawater over the decks to prevent shrinkage. Keep up the fantastic work every tiny step you take brings you closer to your dream!

[@geoleeskidd5747]

I get excited every day now, just waiting to see what you both are doing and my nerves are growing for the exciting moment you get in the water....this is so exciting, every day along with you both....it must be hard work editing these videos, but we all appreciate all the efforts....OK I have to get back to the video...see you both tomorrow 😀

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!!

[@claudehopper9813]

Wow , I'm literally holding my breath ! You're getting so close to Splashing Yaba and she looks so proud ..great job .

[@snowstrobe]

Ok, it's still a month away, please don't literally hold your breathe...

[@DougVarble]

Daily videos are the very best🎉

[@fonhollohan2908]

Hope your feeling better MP. Cheers

[@dalltm]

Wow, I'm feeling the excitement of ticking off soo many projects also!!!

[@petergilligan7092]

I've been watching you guys since the start and I continue to be absolutely impressed by your tireless work ethic. It has been great you see both of you grow in skills and confidence. Maintaining Yaba going forward will be a challenge but you both have intimate knowledge of every system and that will be gold. Congrats so far and I'm looking forward to Yaba's launch.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Well done Ben and MP these videos are brilliant so much content in each one won't be long before Yaba dips her keel in the water where she belongs thanks to your dedication to her see you tomorrow 😊😊😊🎉

[@timcolesailingsumo]

WOW , you've come a long way since sitting with ODD on a sinking rebuild ❤❤

[@vanfleming1]

I admire all the personal work you’ve done on YABA and the hundreds of new skillsets you’ve had to master!! Pretty daunting and impressive.

[@SailingYaba]

Wow, thank you!

[@citizen127at]

2:56, "Pica-Pau," I like it. I'm trying to learn Portuguese 😁

[@kevinbrianburke]

I love the daily reports!!!! Thank you for fitting it in with the flurry of work you’ve been taking in!

[@akhiruddinkhalid5864]

Cant wait seeing ur' all at sea

[@jackrichards1863]

Yeah Bro'! MASSIVE work. Odd life have sold and your task is still in progress. My perception of that is you will have so much more enjoyment from the method applied and in the finished unit. There is a comfort in the sea, of a heavy timber hull over Fibreglass or steel. A motion so much more in sync with the human spirit. I grow impatient watching the finishing stroke of this artistic "brush" before launch.

[@patchmack4469]

haha - your camera needs its own little umbrella - try a cocktail umbrella well done Ben, doing an excellent job and looking good

[@dcallan812]

Getting closer and closer to the sea. . 2X👍

[@SailingYaba]

Finally! 😍

[@pedronunes5596]

Boa tarde, é um trabalho que admiro muito, a calafetagem dos cascos dos barcos, pois é muito monótono e exige muita responsabilidade para que a vedação do casco seja eficiente; mas digo-vos é difícil de fazer. Até amanhã Pedro Nunes

[@hansrutten3310]

Every day ticks in the boxes of targets! I love this powerful team 🥰

[@ianrusso8790]

love da hairdo

[@RNVOS]

Looking great and thanks for sharing ❤ from 🇨🇦

[@theconfessionsof_a]

Lazy bugger!!! Best line EVER😂

[@SevenBates]

Great job, guys. This hustle phase is awesome.

[@MichaelTodd-b2q]

At this rate, I would bet you go into water ahead of schedule great attitude, great effort keep on keeping on❤

[@RV.595]

Excellent update! Watching from Seattle, Washington . Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@jaywatson7451]

So funny. Get that stuff out of there! Thanks for that.

[@henrinijkamp319]

Thanks for sharing day 8 🤙🏻see you tomorrow ! It all comes together in a natural way.

[@SootHead]

Great effort... a sprint at theend of a marathon!

[@WoodyDowler]

I'm so amazed at what it takes to make it ready for the water . A you guys are awesome and I mean everyone !😅😂

[@jamesvanian5524]

More great work done today. You manage to work methodically despite weather or other unforeseen circumstances. It is thrilling to see everything falling into place. I am so happy for you all. Keep well and safe. James.

[@RichardSoutar]

Hope you guys got 100k subs before Yabá swim again.

[@KillswitchBB]

Sending you guys much love, can't emagine the stress and strain you are all under right now just so you can get the hull wet, let alone all the hundreds of other jobs waiting to be done once your in the water, so you can finally live your dream together. By the way loving the videos .

[@duanemiller5606]

Thanks! Seeing as how you had two Sundays and now two Mondays. Technically you’re on day nine but day eight of the we’re doing it every day change up that started the day after the regular Sunday weekly episode.

[@richardreis6248]

love the line "Get that shit out of there", great video

[@SailingYaba]

😂

[@jimjensma7292]

What about your BLACK WATER tank for your heads. You can't dump it everywhere. It has to go into a holding tank.

[@ericcartman9298]

Love the Channel, watcher day 1. I do electrical on yachts and diesel. Just please go revisit the 24 volt panel and secure the main red cable to the bus bar with something. Having the lug take all the weight and sway it will eventually stress and break and leave you with no power at all and possible fire hazard. Just needs to be secured to some solid anchoring point to the panel. The lug will break off. Not a question of if but when.. Keep up the awesome work.

[@pangtjonresor]

Good job as usual, thanks for filming and editing it for us followers, a question Ben, have you thought about having a septic tank for the toelettes? Can be good if you are in port with many boats and people swimming nearby. See you tomorrow. 👋

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you very much!! We will have a holding tank 😉

[@nordiccitizen]

Would love just a quick summary of how much this project has cost, from buying the boat, to launching it. Its really interesting since it has been such a big overhaul.

[@BusstterNutt]

G`day from the UK

[@barriegannon3572]

Love these daily vlogs, well done and keep going 😊
