[@70soperator16]

By the way....Ben seems to have hit the jackpot with MP....not just smart...but wants to be, and is actively getting smarter....truly a rare quality in today's world

[@stangraff800]

In 30 years you will look back on these videos and not believe you had the energy, motivation, and persistence to do all this wonderful work. What a joy to watch you complete these tasks each day.

[@CALLtheMECHANICS43]

I’ve been watching since you sailed YABA while it was sinking. Amazing how it has evolved.

[@HerrOveSweden]

Mee to. And can say im adikted now.

[@johnboone2581]

Me three, they have come a long way.

[@CALLtheMECHANICS43]

Exactly it’s very addicting. I like these daily episodes. Don’t have to wait a whole week for the next one.

[@pavelprunner5367]

Me four, incredible channel. 👍 @@johnboone2581

[@maryjnorwood3962]

Two weeks of videos! Every day! No wonder you’re tired. Amazing job. 😎🥰💕💕💕😎

[@rnrjukespot]

Coming together nicely. The greatest part of the preparation to witness has been your unwavering commitment to each other. It's what makes the journey worthwhile 👏👏👏

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Nico and the rest of his crew are going to miss you guys when you go. That’s for sure. Great series Ben and MP. And MP, you’re giving your dad the best memories of his lifetime and I am for certain he ha very proud of you and your accomplishments on Yabá.

[@henrinijkamp319]

Yabá’s workingcrew are busy making all things fixed before launching. And we are watching it every day of the week. Thanks Ben and MP for making it happen!

[@tinawildoner7725]

You guys are sooo close! It's a lot of work, but I enjoy your daily posts until launch.

[@HerrOveSweden]

Tick tack tick tack clock is running to splash day. Love this eweryday update. ❤❤ From Sweden

[@rickbrauer6794]

Saying a prayer of hope for you all this morning in service. God bless you both and may your future be fruitful.

[@dunkie976]

Guys if you're having a down day just look back at how far you have come, both Yaba and yourselves as people, look how much more confident you are in the workshop and presenting, and jeeeez these daily posts must be killers! You're doing amazing, hang on in there, you've almost made it ❤

[@hansrutten3310]

I can imagine that you two and father, father in law need to recover! One day staying in your bed will be blessing!

[@seanmccormackmccormack9317]

If those batteries move as they sit now, you have much bigger problems! They will be fine without the need to strap them down! Well done, 🎉guys

[@77RB77]

I've been watching you guys since the beginning and have noticed how Ben is always wiping the sweat out of his eyes. If he would wear a head band that would stop. I know how irritated it is it works for me. I just tie a bandana around my head. Much love and respect 💪

[@sailingsjofagel]

Momentus Milestone to have the batteries in place..!! Well done on the great progress, and thank you for the daily episodes, it is SOOOOO exciting..!!!

[@drewbrouder4233]

Getting the batteries in is an exciting step! I don't know why it just feels big !

[@MikeGreenStudioWorks]

Great job! I always drill a hole in the end of the ball valve if it didn't come with one so I can wire it in the open or closed position for safety. That way if some one or thing knocks it it wont move without you doing it. Could save the boat is the way I see it.

[@chadstinson9886]

I like the way MP looked at Ben when the torque wrench worked.

[@judybonner8682]

I am getting spoiled watching your videos every day!💕💕💕💕💕

[@dalewatson7982]

Thanks for the daily blogs, I have been following you from the beginning, and you bring joy to an oldy.❤

[@2oqp577]

Despite the weather, things are looking up! That's a crazy schedule though. Don't let fatigue get in the way of safety.

[@jamesvanian5524]

I love seeing things getting done. Despite the weather you are achieving so much. Still amazed at how Ben gets into such small spaces. He is so flexible. Keep well and safe. James.

[@fxpthl]

Your dogs are such good companions and so vert funny!

[@claudehopper9813]

Yaba has batteries now ! You're getting so close ..she's going to look great with anti-fouling can't wait ..go Yaba team !

[@silvanocometta9760]

Ben: consider to put some rubber or foam between the batteries to avoid them to rub on each other. Just to be on the safe side.

[@marwansaad3728]

Thanks the best dad ❤ ever

[@mick-j7s]

Hi Ben and MP, I can see like everyone else that MP's dad is doing a lot of work too with the electrical it's always having dad's help good on him. Great job Ben and MP but I reckon you should do your videos every 2 days you both look exhausted particular u Ben. Next to tallyho you are the two best boat channels I think anyway. You will be sailing into the sunset soon. P's have watched you from the beginning.👍

[@hophiophagushanna4830]

I don't know anything about boat or batteries...but you should not forget to think about special fire extinguisher ?? You've done an amazing job 😂... you and all of the team

[@dahak972]

Bright yellow! Bottom paint.

[@klazyy641]

Nice to see it 'all' coming together! However, the best was seeing your captain and his pal having a siesta at the end. It's does my pet minded heart good to see how far he has come since you first saw him all matted down and dispirited. He learned to climb the ladders, became your right hand (paw?), knows the entire layout of your boat inside and out, and now has a buddy to boss around, lol. I am loving these 'dailies" even though I can only imagine how much time and effort they must take. We all appreciate you thinking of us. . .

[@nlumby]

...the way you're packing that anti-fouling away looks like you're not expecting the rain to stop forever!!!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

[@MrTomasz1965]

Давно смотрю, ребята вы просто супер !!!

[@vanderschaft1]

please don't forget to charge the batteries full, before conecting them to eachother. Good luck and thanks for the dailies.

[@alangurman3961]

I love this channel and how you guys work so well together. I would love, one day, to sail with you.

[@williamdurham4982]

I'm more and more appreciating how MP shows real ,active motivation for being a a viable worker in this whole process...She is refreshingly feminine but VERY capable if I am to interpret what I see on the images you portray ...Very encouraging in today's "in your face" Feminism , to see obvious character and integrity...

[@kennethjunkert2990]

Getting close to the float. Cue Christopher Cross singing Sailing. “Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free.”

[@randall39]

MP you are so fortunate to have a dad who can do things with you and it shows that he has a lot of talent in the things you guys are doing. Hoping all goes well and you can get your boat in the water soon. You guys have a lot of ambition, so I believe that you will meet your deadline. ❤

[@saltydawg1793]

Nice deck cleat system to keep the batteries form sliding.

[@mloret6745]

I am so super happy that you are supper excited to be supper enjoying the painting antifoul on the boat...SUPPER everything.!

[@l.m.2404]

I agree! Supper is my second favourite meal. Lol😂

[@pete.pilgrim9135]

I think I’ve said it before but how on earth are you two going to be able to use your yacht as it is so big and beautiful! Enjoying the daily shows!

[@NewZealandPakeha]

CRC, SOFT SEAL By CRC , spray on connection after wards stops corrosion, great stuff

[@scottlanesimpson]

You guys are making an unbelivable home on the water. Tackling these projects and doing the work yourselves (with help :) is what will keep you going while you are in far away places. You will look back on this time and be amazed with what you have created. Doing this job in Brazil with the support from the amazing “Boat Yard” and the help from family has made this project possible. Keep pushing hard you are almost on the water.

[@Pocketfarmer1]

14:02 put plugs in all the through hulls . Handles can be bumped. Valves can leak. Put a proper pipe cap / plug in each until you are ready to plumb them . Cheap insurance.

[@Rgarizonahomestead]

Looking good guys keep up the great. See you guy on tomorrow's video.

[@midlifecrisis8163]

Everyone share this channel with your friends! Let's get them to 100K subs before they splash! Not only do these two deserve it, EVERYONE deserves to follow this journey!!!! BTW, My guess is a medium blue, Yaba's original sign color. (He did show a glimpse of the sign as he walked by.)

[@markchodroff250]

Getting a lot of work done , even in the rain ! Try to rest up ! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@timothytardiesr576]

Nice batteries. You should have a positive outlook now😅. Keep being awesome team.

[@alexanderwendt684]

Watching you every day and something hit me! When Ben is changing out of his working jeans he doesn’t fold them, he just stands them up in a cornef😂😂😂 Respect…👍

[@opinionsmatter5201]

Love that your dad is executing his high degree of skill for you .and yaba

[@patchmack4469]

i got pics of my old dog sat like that on a bean bag, she came over to see me, get a good ear rubbing, and was leaning against the bean bag beside her, gradually she ended up sat kind of side saddle - i was giggling so much, she gave me a very indignant look - as if to say, this is how you do it isn't it - but i got the pics and she repeated this another couple of times before she sadly passed away, a funny dog with bags of comical moments and a few challenging ones too great to have the batteries in place, you'll be firing them up soon enough, amazing work, will you be putting a strap across the top to prevent them going into orbit in case of rough weather

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys

[@brucerazor5202]

Don’t get down, your almost done and should be very proud of yourselves .I can’t believe how much work you guys have done and as I sit on my rear and watch you guys I have learned to take any project just a little at a time.

[@davidleatherbarrow2640]

Hi Ben and M.P. Please fit a couple of large bilge pumps wired independently from all the others. At the moment all of Your bilge pumps run off of the same electrical circuit, if this goes down then You have No pumps to use. Wire a couple directly to the batteries via relays, fuses and switches as a back up. You can not think of everything but this may prove to be Yaba saver. You have come so far since I watched and commented on Your first Vid. Well Done to You both. Regards. David . Down Under.

[@MichaelTodd-b2q]

Keep on keeping on❤😊

[@MrKingdavis13]

Just a friendly heads up for M.P., it probably doesn't matter that much for low torque fasteners but that is improper handling of a torque wrench. It uses the fulcrum at the handle to determine torque so it is important to only apply force to the handle when tightening fasteners. And honestly I imagine it is even more crucial in low torque applications because when you have to pull hard you will surely want as much leverage as possible and be inclined to use the handle. Another good habit to get into is to use the shortest extension as possible as well because long extensions twist and skew the actual torque being applied to the fastener. Hopefully that didn't come across as being picky or whatever because I didn't intend that at all. Great job and fingers crossed that the weather breaks and you can make your timeline.

[@adm.petercowell9573]

red anti-fouling?

[@athloneduke]

Could not be much fun working in that enclosed space in the heat.....looking forward to splash soon.

[@nimalanperumal1294]

Soon the weather will improve and sunny days will tear the skies….🎉🎉🎉

[@KarlLittle1975]

Great work guys!

[@SailingYaba]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@idreecemian2192]

You have come such a long way, I'm eagerly waiting for the launch day, as for the antifouling colour is my guess is for ⚫ black

[@joseramos7476]

you guys are Rocking along, Great Job. Buen Trabajo!

[@DougVarble]

Store emergency bottles of water in the compartments under the batters, it will be an extra safety measure 🎉

[@patchmack4469]

good on you Ben for soldiering on - you're doing a fine jobby - you got more omph in you than i have - i think that job might have killed me by now - 3 years of it, wow, i soldier on best i can but the body aches all the time

[@hydewhyte4364]

Can't believe you're still under 100k subs. We need to get you over before the splash.

[@um_click21]

Seu comentário deveria ser pinado lá no topo!! CONCORDO!!

[@fireantsarestrange]

You got Battle Born!! Awesome batteries guys.

[@kiwi-kt2bo]

Thanks for the daily vids!

[@SailingYaba]

Glad you like them!

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

A chuva so esta deixando mais emocionante os videos pra chegar no prazo de lancamento na agua.😂😂😂

[@onnoverver8773]

The stay on the bowsprit is called 'bobstay' or in Dutch: 'waterstag'

[@kevinmartin3859]

Nice one Ben and MP 😊😊

[@richardchiriboga4424]

So great checking things off the list!!! The electrical system is almost done!! Plumbing almost done Yay!!! Getting closer!!! ❤

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

You can use one bar going all the way across all four at once and fastened on the each end

[@LenB4830]

You guys, along with your shipwrights have done a remarkable job. I've followed your journey from the start. Will you be letting us know what this project has cost you total? a lot of viewers probably have the same question.

[@theconfessionsof_a]

Still smashing the like button xx

[@jameskelly5973]

Mate, you mentioned the bowsprit stay but you should also run some side whisker stays

[@dcallan812]

Going great on the build, you need to add an AIS unit so we can track Yaba as she sails the world. 2x👍 A blue bottom would look nice

[@Randiolman]

Gold anti fouling. would look nice

[@l.m.2404]

I'm gonna guess the anti fouling to be the same blue as the Yaba sign with a navy blue water line. I can hardly wait to see. ⛵️

[@jerrydutra3225]

Woohoo!❤😁

[@robertszyszynski7959]

GOOD JOB .

[@TimErickson-oc6sd]

Florescent pink

[@jonathenbishop1119]

I'm so proud of you guys

[@pete6849]

Blue💙💙

[@MrCHINKY2000]

I watch your refurbishment and truly enjoy what you and your team are doing. I know nothing on boat building. I do have one concern. Where your bilge pump is placed, it seems to have empty gaps beneath the pump. If so, I'm assuming the empty spaces could fill up with water, fuel, dirt, etc.? Not knowing if you’re going to fill the empty spaces up level with the bilge pump. I recommend pouring in a filler so you won’t have standing fluids you can’t reach to eliminate any future decay. Just my two cents. Thanks for all you do!

[@edrussell7960]

The gaps and such under the bilge pump shouldn't hurt much. Most boats do have a small bit of water in them at most times. This amount doesn't usually damage things especially in wood boats, if it's salt water anyways. It keeps the wood swelled together for a watertight fit actually. Fresh water is what they don't want to keep in there. That is what causes rot. This is generally speaking of course. You will be surprised how much water they are going to take on when they launch until all the dry wood they have swells together. It's going to be alot if they don't swell the wood prior to launch.

[@manny380sl]

Bom Fin De Semana

[@raulpendas]

Great video. You guys have worked for a very long time. The Saba looks great. With our best wishes, Raul and Joan Bryan, Texas

[@OneEyedJack01]

Nice to see things coming together. Are you planning for an expected repaint of the hull in the first year? Once the hull hits the water and absorbs moisture, the paint will bubble and crack as the wood expands.

[@englishmaninfrance661]

ANti foul ? Blue . Good stuff & huge progress

[@mlh4284]

Why did you seal all the through holes before putting anti fouling on for the first time? Great job! Enjoying daily updates ❤️👍

[@renatomedina6595]

❤anti incrustante 'tinta venenosa', é de cor vermelha escuro...abraços 😅...PS#aplica próximo de botar o barco na água, não deixa secar muitos dias

[@swmas02]

Poor Ben getting in all the Knooks and Crannies doing a brilliant job,and MP taking after her Dad with the “electric side” her electrician Dad,both getting there. And with the rest of the team supporting Ben & MP who have all have helped rebuild YABA to her current state?.

[@petegrangaard3921]

That's a beautiful boat. The hands on skills of the carpenters is amazing to watch.

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you very much!

[@julian_tamysistysix]

Muy buen episodio y gracias por lo ultimo que dijiste hasta mañana. seguir así os sigo desde el principio no me pierdo ni uno solo de vuestro capítulos 🎉🎉🎉

[@IvandeOliveiraBarros]

A hug to this family team, the certainty is that the awareness of what has been done will allow them to have a smooth and pleasant navigation without the risk of poorly executed work. Congratulations and calm seas. Um abraço a esta equipe familia, a certeza é que a consciencia do que está feito lhes permitirá uma navegação tranquila e prazeirosa sem riscos de trabalhos mau executados. Parabéns e tranquilos mares.

[@56username]

Ok Buttercup The Trick using the band saw 😳🤔 The Approach 😳 Which side of the line are you going to use? Start about the length of the Blade add a little side pressure not so much you move the Blade now back to the very back side of the blade , very little now keep the pressure on the one side Cut . Try it If it does now add a small band saw in the Sailing SHIP Let me know if it worked for you 🤔😃 In the net video mention ButterCup

[@alan-sk7ky]

10:20 MP that hole in the plate where the red/black pair go through really does need a grommet to protect the wires.

[@NA-xm7wj]

Are you two going to add sacrificial zinc plates on the outside of your hull connected to your battery grounds so it will help absorb electrical currents flowing thru the water

[@mike260376]

In ben in Campinas (são paulo) voor het werk. Redelijk goed weer 23 gr enkel deze morgen een bui 👌🏼🙌☀️

[@bobuncle8704]

What a great time to be adding the batteries. Can you imagine how many batteries you’d have to install to get the same 13kW of energy storage.

[@antoniogomesdeamorim4688]

Apesar da intensa chuva desejo um domingo feliz pra Vcs e que amanhã seja mais um dia de conquistas excelente semana Sucesso Sempre
