[@CharleyGeorge]

We all get it. So much work. But you two are doing a great job. And so are all the people helping you. I am proud of you two for having the shipyard crew on your boat. They are awesome dude. They taught you guys how to do so much. They didn't need to do so but they did. I would love to meet them in person one day to tell them they are awesome people and awesome shipwrights.

[@bearitraeb]

Just glad yall are well

[@davidross976]

Your daily videos have added joy and pleasure to my holiday season. Thank you for giving so many of us a great Christmas gift. Your boat looks great. Wishing you a joyous holiday season and many happy sailing miles ahead.

[@jeffking3641]

I am a witness to harmony. Both of you have tasks you enjoy. Working these tasks brings joy and prosperity. Trust Jesus ❤️

[@bin_chicken80]

I don't usually comment but you guys are killing it. This is one thing I've noticed after watching your channel is that you are both relentless. Huge respect. Amazing work. Thanks for sharing!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so so much!

[@bdlii]

Insane amount of work and effort by the two of you and your team. Hopefully you can hang some lights and relax Christmas Day with family and friends.

[@brian.7966]

you must admit she is just a little gem,

[@key948]

You need a tank breather tube that is also an overflow tube

[@brian.7966]

no, they do not, it is all play it's not work.

[@idreecemian2192]

Best expression of my life of ......... "No Complaining, Let's do it" by MP, I mean the way you said it. One to stay with me till the end. You have given a new light of hope. Love you guys "Mum, Dad, Uncle, Ben and MP"

[@PAINFOOL13]

Amazing couple, thanks to your parents too 🎉 🎄☃️🎄

[@jeanmariemontigny9688]

Congratulation Ben and MP on a great serie video`s ...

[@billb2176]

You guys define youth and enthusiasm not only for project Yaba but for Brazil and the work ethic all around. In far away Oz, we are just as enthusiastic about our spirit and wry to recall that we only have one nuclear reactor and when it needed to be replaced the source was Brazil !!! Strange segway but really just enthused with the savy and Joie de vrie de Team Yaba !!!!

[@86chanko]

very impressed with the davit guy's craftsmanship

[@rolandtb3]

Davit, new anchor, dock water supply, collection tank, transfer system, more deck cleaning & staining and some painted artwork. Very busy day. Good spare storm anchor.

[@Michael-u1t8k]

Yaba is the embodiment of the great craftsmanship of the people of Brazil. I thoroughly enjoy every video you post. The care all of these people put into their work is amazing.

[@fonhollohan2908]

You've done an amazing job getting it done. cheers.

[@chandrasutton4669]

Wow, it's getting close, but everything is looking great!!!😊🎉❤

[@jamesvanian5524]

You are getting on so well. I am really happy for you. Have a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year. Keep well and safe. James.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much James!!! Happy holidays to you too!

[@old-wise-one4473]

Ben, just to be safe see if you can get a piece of thin brass to make some labels to mark your fill holes to fit into the floor boards at least mark the water tank as you don’t want someone filling it with diesel! You may even find premade plates enameled in Blue for water and Yellow for diesel. You may also want to put a water filter on the fill line to at least catch any foreign junk. And lastly you should mount a float valve in the lids one for each tank to purge the air in filling yet not allow water to leak out. You will need one more in the filling tube to allow air to enter as the water is used (preventing a vacuum) a T and an elbow near the deck fill so the float allows air in but prevents water to leak out.

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Well done on the water system, it was long overdue, but now you are smiling, smiling, smiling. Don't drop the ball, you guys are nearly there. Oh and that deck of yours is = beautiful = WELL DONE WELL DONE WELL DONE!!!!!!

[@robertjureit2574]

I noticed one thing, i would recommend for you to do. Love the Videos by the way. Double hose claps,on all water,and other fittings. I know there’re Stainless,BUT it wont last. I’ve been boating for 58 years. Believe me i know. Make sure your bilge pump has an Alarm on it. Been watching you guys for a couple of years,so much fun.

[@bearitraeb]

Good advice. Saltwater eats everything

[@andrecavallari3094]

O barco está ficando lindo , parabéns . Vcs mais que merecem . Não vejo a hora de acabar para que vcs possam desfrutar de todo esse trabalho . Vcs são 10000000❤

[@AlisonFort]

Have a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2025!🎄

[@SilentSooYun]

It's so satisfying watching everything coming together... which must be a fraction of what you guys are experiencing :) The colourful doors are such a cute and clever idea, the anchor, the water, the davit system, decks are looking great... you should feel very proud!

[@SailingYaba]

It is definitely satisfying to see it all coming together! 🙂 thank you for your kind words!

[@trevelynbrown4444]

The fill opening is higher than the tanks . All of them will fill up without a problem . Congratulations on getting the water tanks plumb in .

[@noelroberts9058]

You guys are killing it. Keep up the good work.

[@trinescape]

Well done guys yet more amazing progress Yay Yaba !!

[@andreoosthuizen979]

Hi, no I'll feelings but I waited up till two o clock last night for the episode, that's what it means to me. I love your approach to work and now at 72 I absolutely appreciate it to see you two go at it. Salutations

[@davidapaulissen2237]

You guys are awesome. May you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New you from us here in Galveston, TX.

[@garryballentine9151]

So very impressed with y'all building skills!. You two are amazing!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much! We're still learning every day!

[@werewolf5674]

I'm so happy to see you do the water system.

[@aelfswith]

Looking great!

[@jamesmackay4652]

The wood coluors after varnishing is simply beutifull.

[@1200rexer]

Hi just want to wish you both a wonderful christmas and better new year sailing Yaba

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

It's coming together. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day

[@rafaelmartinez1883]

Its great you opted for the daily videos. Great entertainment and a testament to your dedication and hard work. Thanks for sharing,, Best wishes> Feliz Navidad!!!

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much! We're so glad you're enjoying them.

[@HazardousRacing]

It's looking amazing, guys!❤❤❤

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

YABA está ganhando tantos presentes, está cada dia mais completa, bonita, e confortável.🥰🥰🥰

[@jbprospector3638]

So excited for you guys. Looking great. 👍😎

[@pedrosauder]

You guys did a week of work in one day. Someone was praying for no rain! It has been fun having extra episodes this month. What water maker system are you guys planing to install that will fit your boat?

[@lyndeebrider2340]

Fantastic work. Can’t wait for you to sail the world. I hope that’s the plan

[@retireordont]

That was a huge day🎉🎉

[@miketaylor9921]

Love what you are doing🎉😊

[@paul_gradenwitz]

You need a valve towards each separate tank. There are too many cases where you might want to separate tanks. The best would be a separate hose to each tank and the valves within reach closer to the filling hose. Happy Christmas!

[@delukxy]

Just put a tap in each connecting pipe. Each tank may or may not need a breather but certainly there needs to be one somewhere. You can't pump liquid out of system without one.

[@onnoverver8773]

Very nice davids. But again.... use a pre filter for water from any shore source!!!!

[@huibert1358]

why no taps or/with bypass due to contaminated/dirty water tanks? You have done a lot of work, wonderful, I enjoy the update every time

[@StevenHull]

use Teflon plumbing tape to seal the water tack caps. much easier than trying to get seacaflex off the threads

[@RichardSteigmann]

Nice video, very nice progress 👍👍 But I think that at least the last tank needs a vent with a tube that leads outside the air

[@peterbrain-y1s]

Hey guys you are doing well but remember one very important thing, to make the water to flow well the tanks need breathing tube so the air can escape

[@BarrieHarmsworth]

You could do with swivels on your anchors. Keep up the good work. I can remember when they all laughed at you. Stay strong and Merry Xmas.

[@philkakid5617]

Wouldn't it be much, much quicker if you applied the varnish with a roller in the large open areas and use the brush only for the corners and detail work?

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

Bom dia pessoal.😊😊😊

[@dcallan812]

Not going to dragging anchor very often with that ⚓ The one you took off will be a great stern / spare just in case anchor. 👍👍

[@HazardousRacing]

Yay!

[@susanmeldahl5226]

Thanks!

[@susanmeldahl5226]

Ohhh my goodness I love the pink Dolphin, wow how amazing it must be to see!! Love the different sea creatures for the doors too! What a fun idea!! Can't wait to see them installed🎉. Great job Ben on getting the water filling port installed!! 🎉🎉

[@ianweatherhead826]

Thanks

[@lyndeebrider2340]

Didn’t realise there were so many things to be finished.

[@Iain1966]

Great job guys, just a thought though,you might need a one way valve to let air in as you empty the tanks 🙂

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

Vents on your water tanks ? Water in, air out and water out air in. 🙂

[@henkvantslot4440]

I work on anchor handling boats,we work with Bruce anchors of 38 tons,ore shark anchors of 50tons,all fore the offshore oil rigs.

[@matthewhackett2328]

How will you treat the water? Since the tanks are all connected, yet separate, it may become difficult to sterilize the lower tanks. Living on a water catchment, I have learned the hard way about waterborne pathogens. You should add access to each tank separately, so you can sterilize. You guys are great! Keep up the great work. It is really paying off!

[@garybensel6680]

How about some vents for the tanks? Filling will be much faster and also less chance of vapor lock. Merry Christmas!

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

You got to start looking for a swivel for that anchor chain.

[@kakourosa2955]

courage les gars, le travail est énorme, Mais vous baisser pas les bras, bravo à vous tous.

[@KymHammond]

Looking good! What happens when all the building stops, do you have a lockup somewhere to store it all away once you really start doing extensive long distance sea trial? I know you have just move stuff around but that sense of less clutter is really starting to give it a boat atmosphere rather than a floating workshop.

[@laptopuser3323]

G'day guys it's getting harder to up load every day I see keep up the good work guys 😊

[@SailingYaba]

Indeed! But we are so close!!

[@laptopuser3323]

@@SailingYaba yous are doing well guys

[@petegraham1458]

It would be better to have a swivel on the Bruce , when you decide to get one get the best you can find and afford it’s a key link in your safety. Do you have an air vent for the tanks? You need one .Thanks for bringing us along on this journey to Christmas .

[@timloveless5409]

Years after they were installed the little white plastic crumbs that were residual from cutting holes in the tanks eventually clogged up the water pump on my motor home. I had to disassemble the pump and pick the crumbs out of the pump with a toothpick. Good to go again but it took me quite a while to figure it out.

[@bobjacobs-x1i]

Hi guys , nice one , your getting there, Now your going to think of me as being a pest after thiis,(sorry bout that :) )Dont forget what i said about those blinders for the windows ,pass my suggestion to the carpenters when they come just to see what they say, scooners like yaba were origionallt designed to be cargo vessels that were fast so they could rob larger slower vessels, where you have accomodation with windows close to the water line they used to have cargo holds with hatches that were battoned down with canvas and kegs, the bullwalks were closed and solid enough to have small cannons on them ,i understand you not wanting the blinders but they would only be placed for rough weather ,As you go furyher north along the coast you will be getting a constant strong easterly wind with fairly rough seas and as you go N of equater it will change to westerly winds always think safety first , life at sea can be dangerous as ive found out through experiance. i hope you take this to heart and it wont hurt to ask the carpenters what they think about it , love what youve done so far :)

[@randymittan7494]

Did you find that old anchor from a ship wreck that dates back to the 1600s?

[@desbuckle6907]

Loving all the episodes, can't wait for 2025's adventures, just a thought! would it be an idea to have the second spare anchor on the rear platform as a stern anchor maybe?, all the best Ben and MP for Christmas and the new year.

[@daveamies5031]

MP, I'm a little disappointed you didn't paint the octopus with the blue ringed octopus colour scheme .... maybe next time for your next octopus project?

[@gordonbrydson4733]

I was worried a bit was going to E-Mail you again but I realized that it must be hard doing all you both do including editing so i waited happy to know all is well .MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE. From Florida USA.

[@soloaquatics]

We have pink dolphins in south Louisiana!

[@m.tuncozcan9878]

Teknede hep yapacak birşeyler vardır. Tam bitti dediğinde de başa dönmek gerekir. Kolaylıklar diliyorum.

[@DaveAhlberg-wf4jq]

Ben, where does the air in the tanks go when you fill? You need a vent on at least the last tank in the chain. That may be what caused the leak in the first tank. Merry Christmas to all of you!

[@BrunoWiebelt]

was a good day ... no smily painted .LOL

[@ctown6971]

31:26 well atleast with the drilling of hole, you can see how deep the varnish penitrated the wood.

[@laurariley308]

💕🎉🎉💕🎉💕

[@stevenjones1171]

You have to think of how your Fresh water maker is going to fill your tanks.

[@pidjones]

Dockside hose will never supply enough flow to necessitate such large fill lines. Better to run smaller individual lines joined at a manifold at a higher point (with a valve for each tank).

[@dougmclain4264]

Did you vent the water tanks?

[@reis146]

Where is the water tank ventilation?👍

[@gordonagent7037]

MP would it be possible for you to get a couple of nice still photos of all the shipwrights from the restoration when they visit. My daughter is a very talented and creative person and I have an idea for a gift I would like to get her to do for you guys and a good photo would be a great starting place, need one of you and Ben plus your Dad and Yaba. Could you do that?

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

What about vents for the tanks

[@Schaneification]

Still Here :=)

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you so much!

[@Tjalie-j6i]

Kom jij uit Maaskantje ?! Cuz New Kids want their hair back gozer hahaha 😆. Staat goed trouwens 👍. Merry Christmas to you and yours🎄 🎅 . Vrolijk Kerstmis 👍.

[@stephengent9974]

You need vents to the tanks to let the air out

[@jimilipi5493]

Given the diameter of the supply pipe, I think they will breathe well! 😁

[@philstewart9891]

your anchor chain it attached at the wrong end ..how will you get it up if it gets stuck under a rock ?? you need a break away link where the chain is on that "D" link is....

[@jfv65]

I suppose the tap points of the tanks are way down low? Each tank it's own? And then all T-ed together? With valves in them so you can isolate each tank from the others?

[@SailingYaba]

You suppose correctly!

[@robertbosman5398]

Have you guys thought about that you need to let the air out in dutch (ontluchten)

The way you built it, if you have a water problem, you will contaminate all tanks. You don't have a safety reserve. 😐

Can someone clue me into this style of sail boat being able to sail crossing the ocean?? No keel ??
