💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

💙 Massive thanks to our amazing team of carpenters that never let us down and continue to amaze us at every step of the process: Toninho, Zeca, Hélio, Claiton, William, Nezo, Nico, Adilson, Beto and Luiz. YOU ARE LEGENDS!

Very wise choice that will reflect heat in the tropics.

[@TheMikesylv]

Spot on , thinking the same thing

[@FlyingConey]

Technicly the best color choice for a wooden boat. Looking good! My recomendation would be either green or blue bottom paint.

[@billsrq1788]

Hello all from Siesta Key Florida

[@frankd2301]

Nice choice on color. Works well with wood.

[@rickbaker9101]

White looks so neat and clean, excellent choice

[@HoosierPete69.]

Yaba looks beautiful, and you're right that white really makes the wood pop.

[@sailorman8590]

Extremely good choice to paint white….will keep the inside house much cooler!!

[@shaneruby3764]

Happy birthday Mp

[@creekchick331]

Happy 30th Birthday MP!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

I’m not disappointed at all! 😂 I’m so glad you went with white. It’s classy and doesn’t distract from the lines and wood on her.

[@garybarichello6286]

So surprised, thought it would be some great bright colour. GLAD it is such a traditional boat colour. Looks beautiful and classy ! G 12:44 ary from the desert of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada❤

[@erniebru959]

@@garybarichello6286 I concur Gary! Ernie from the okanagan 👍🏼🇨🇦

[@drewbrouder4233]

Perfect colour choice guys ! White will also reflect rather than absorb

[@SoloistaPh]

I've been silently watching you guys since day 1 from the Philippines

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

[@Maxdekriek]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MP.......💛😘

[@graemelliott3942]

White is the best choice to keep you cool! It also lasts the longest between paint jobs! It definitely is the most practical. The best anti fouling color that last the longest is red.

[@Westwaterfall]

Perfect color, classic beauty.

[@mariuspotgieterproject3437]

This is a beautiful white that you selected. We cant wait for Yaba to be afloat. Hurry up please....... 😀😀😀

[@bryangoldthorpe8906]

Good choice for protecting the timber and looks great with the varnish work highlighting it ❤

[@looyosummers5796]

It looks gorgeous, well done 👏.❤🍻

[@Retired-Life]

Classy Yabá. The white is beautiful and easy to touch up ‘when’ needed. The decor can provide your pop of color and be changed out as you evolve. Great choices!

[@gregmojher4912]

Ben, damp from the night is called dew! Anyway back to the video, can't wait to see what color you and Mp picked!

[@SailingYaba]

[@jonathanworthing6278]

Well done to the both of you. Something to be proud of.

[@earlashton1342]

I'm super happy 2 that you have got to this point in your journey. Guys I love you so much. Odd introduced me to your channel so I've watched every step of the way. I'm 70 yrs with the same dreams. Unfortunately due to a health issue it won't happen. But definitely in my next life. In the mean time you and others are entertaining me. And through you & some others I am living the dream. So thank you. Please consider New Zealand as a destination.

[@jerrykeyser2336]

So pround of you two and all those that help you

[@gfroese4799]

Happy birthday MP

[@Mr-MH227]

[@timmholzhauer3342]

White is great!! Less is more!!

[@chhindz]

Like the Yaba White, accentuates the wood!

[@t1corvette]

Happy Birthday MP - hope all your Birthday Wishes come True!!!

[@billlogan7035]

I’ve really loved every episode. Ya’ll have learn from probably the best shipwrights around the world. MP surely doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty either. She definitely has motor skills now lol 😂 along with carpentry and lots of other great things. Filming and editing is hard work. Again I have loved every minute. Ben you too have been awesome. I love the paint job. Looking forward to seeing ya’ll splash her. I will have mixed feelings because this has been awesome but it will be great to see what’s coming in the near future. Thanks for every single person that has helped you two out parents, siblings, friends and of course the awesome shipwright guys. Love you all

[@remyyamabushi1473]

Bravo !

Happy belated birthday Mp love and best wishes from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@avonneave2131]

Happy birthday MP, Yaba looking awesome

[@SailorAllan]

aw guys------it is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!! WELL DONE.

[@chrisevans8455]

Love the Alaska White. Very classy.

[@Sonomaniaque]

I think personnaly that the association off-white/natural wood is very classy, and gives your boat the "signature" of a yacht, instead of the "fishing boat look" vivid colors would have given to it. Wise choice! I like it very much, as many viewers did. Greetings from France.

[@gillesgomez3091]

White and varnished wood is an excellent choice. I love white boats and varnished wood, so I'm very happy with your choice. Besides, white is not going to fade due to the sun light and it will protect you from heat. Thumbs up!

[@bigslim492]

That is one beautiful boat. I agree with what MP said: the varnished wood rails really stand out against the white. Beautiful job guys.

[@algero1221]

Wow looks amazing 😊

[@sailingsjofagel]

Super happy for you and I love the colour..!!! What a HUGE step forward to have the hull colour on now. Congratulations team. Grant from Adelaide, South Australia.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Beautiful Alaska Yaba white. Good job.

[@ibrewbeer]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MP!

[@SteveKelly-y2s]

Looks BLOODY BEAUTIFUL ! 👍🏻🇦🇺🇳🇿

[@forresta65]

white is perfect. if you have ever seen what sun will do to paint on the water white will do the job!

[@kathrynlitchfield7140]

She looks so sharp! I like your choice, it is very classy.

[@harveyg845]

YABA is looking good, nice job guys. Happy Birthday MP!

[@tonyrickwood3246]

Happy birthday MP!

[@sumobear2031]

If Yaba is as strong as the relationship you two have, then you have one mighty strong boat that will ride out any storm.

[@togray619]

White is a very logical color for Yaba!

[@ssmith5650]

I wish you success in your week off and a pain free run 🏃. Thanks for everything you do. Safe travels

[@aib0160]

Thumbs up here on the colour.👍👍👍

[@TerjeNormann]

I agree with you 100% about the white... It looks so clean and nice....and as you say, it makes the wood pop very well... Congratulations... ;)

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Happy birthday! What a classy paint job... best present ever.
