So would I lol

[@frankygdanga2999]

Undoubtably the best ship rebuilding channel there is, funny, informative at times great craftmanship every now and then but when the job needs to be done yous two are the ones to do so. Keep it up guys itl be done sooner than ya think, all our love and prayers, keep safe guys 😘

[@TrapShooter68]

The shot of the tide wave moving in was fantastic!

[@marksinclair701]

Ride that wave!

[@TrapShooter68]

@@marksinclair701 I thought of pulling out my 10'6" Strickland "Big Boy Board" and giving it a shot! But getting it and me to the UK is beyond my budget!

[@marksinclair701]

@@TrapShooter68 I reckon Simon would be game. Gemma in the chase boat to catch it again ;-)

[@nealc.6927]

Not quite the Severn, but a fairly decent little bore all the same.

[@robinday2392]

Omg guys,I have been look8ng forward too this episode for so long,because in all the filming on the front of sirinda the front of the wheelhouse has always looked so rough but now you've whooped it's backside and done a bloody fantastic job.Well done too you both ,the wheel house at the front is looking fantastic. X

[@deanjones2525]

They are just great. Aren't they? YEAH, SIMON AND GEMMA.

[@lawgoch]

You didn't just impress yourselves - the front that looked so frail and crumbly now looks tight and strong. Another great job, and thank you for sharing it with us!

[@WoodyDowler]

Your happy , I'm ecstatic for you kids ,old man from quartzsite az. USA

[@berndm9743]

FANTASTIC work you guys!!!! It makes the whole front of the ship look soooooo much better. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ronancurtis2721]

Wheelhouse looks great, well done to you both.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks 👍

[@Coracelina]

Ihr macht ganz tolle Arbeit.Ich schreibe aus Berlin und habe alle Folgen gesehen 👋👍👍🚤

[@davidwoods7720]

Thanks as always guys............. I really really hope Simon did draw a "Knob" off camera

[@christinehammell6365]

Seriously impressed with the cleanliness of the wheelhouse windows . When you said you were using the reflection in the window to guide the sharpie , I had to do a double take because I thought for some reason there was no pane of glass in that window . Another great episode xx

[@phyllismcdaniel-cook946]

Oh my gosh isn't that an improvement! Great job

[@BarrieHarmsworth]

You know, I had a completey shitty week, the sort of week that makes a long walk off a short jetty very attractive. Then your videao came, it was like a weight lifting off my shoulders. You two are such a breath of fresh air. You deserve 1 m subscribers just for your viewers mental health!!!!!

[@robertkendall1037]

You two are such a delightful couple, such a joy to watch these videos and your labor of love

[@johnhamilton2661]

When changing your tubes of glue, use the old nozzle then you end up with spare nozzles and also you don’t waste the glue in the nozzle

[@1tonyboat]

you must have been trained by the same tight forman i worked under ,,,,, but i do the same ..waste not, want not 😂😂👍👍

[@randyscott8660]

Nothing better than spending your time together..When your in your elder years you will cherish this time you spent together..

Watching the two of you brings much Happiness into my life, Thank You so very much!

[@mikebills9343]

Great job Gemma , Simon , it looks great

[@nicktomlin9137]

It must be so satisfying seeing large parts of the boat finished. Marriage guidance counsellors should show your videos to all their clients😂. Brilliant work as ever. She will be a real treasure in a few years😊.

[@petebowler7295]

Brilliant episode. I commend your ingenuity and tireless work ethics.

[@mikethomas2138]

Fabulous progress, to get the deck done during the summer we have had is amazing.

[@simonhunter8338]

At the beginning I was saying "set the depth on your radial and get cutting", glad to see you took my advise! Great work from 2 very talented Brits.

[@donthomasson692]

You two are the greatest. Very impressive craftsmanship as usual. I truly enjoy watching you.

[@simonbradford6774]

That looks a good strong repair, it’s good to watch you two working together, very skilled

[@pavlos7409]

You two are brilliant; well done!

[@mrchairman08]

I completely forget anything that’s weighing on my mind when watching the great work the both of you are doing. Thank you

[@whitby910]

Amazing and well done. Thanks for letting us tag along.

[@deanjones2525]

I'm just so happy for them. When it rains, they won't have to be concerned about getting water down below. Also, the boat can retain more of the warmth now.

[@chilllytube]

You are doing a fabulous job, rolling along to make Sarinda watertight. I know there's still loads to do, but in a strong, watertight hull and deck you will be able work without always thinking about sheeting down before the end of the day. That wheelhouse went well, but it's not lucky - you thought about it and now you know what you're doing. Very impressive.

[@thednadane]

That looks awesome, well done the pair of you!

[@oneteaminbristolbcfc]

FairPlay guys!!! A breath of fresh air in a polluted world ✌️❤️

[@andrewforeman5716]

Excellent job Gemma and Simon Sarinda is starting to look really good. 😊

[@davidwilliams5662]

Fantastic work there both, she's calling out for you, great music too match.

[@ChrisDevismes]

There's no doubt you's a super talented couple. May 100k come soon.👍

[@denniswray470]

Gemma when your belt sander clogs up vigurously rub with wire brush and you will get a second life out of the belt. A tip I picked up many years ago.Splendid effort on that curved wheelhouse it looks stuning you guys.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Good tip!

[@algernonblack]

Just one word to describe the work.......beautiful.

[@JamesHardiman99]

OMG guys ... yet another amazing proper job! You two always cheer me up no end. Looking forward to the fibre glass ... and then it's "paint your boat time"!

[@taffythegreat1986]

The trouble with plan (A) is, you have the weight of the wheelhouse pressing down onto the deck at the points where those noggins are. If you lay down a 6" x 2" timber flat and shape in the curve. The original uprights of the wheelhouse can then rest onto the 6" x 2" timber, hence spreading the load. Love watching you both work 😂👍👍

[@stevenholton438]

Good advice!

[@nigelcooper6254]

Well done si and gem that has transformed Sarinda no end.Great video.

[@patrickgilhooly8340]

I know you get sick of same old comments, but you two are a TEAM and do FINE, Fine work. How about using luan. And glue ,laminate layers together. Strong and structural. Please keep at it, so I am alive to see the finished product. Thank YOU. Oh in 79th year 😱😝🍀

[@bernardcooke]

great progress i watch from the black forest the vlone scouser of the black forest now retired here. i am a carpenter and would have loved to offer my services . everytime you film from your boat towards west kirby i can see the cliffs at thurstation where i spent most of my youth canmping and climbing. where you are moored my mate had a boat in hewes yard his name was tony evans he had a big yellow boat he bought off a charity with all the radio and safety things that are needed . i havent been around heswall for a few years but used to go to sheldrakes to eat quite offten. realy good to see the progress keep up the good work.

The amazing renovation your are both ploughing through is going to look fantastic and will last another 50 years easily. You can get short sharpies too 😂 Keep the hard work up, we are loving going on to this journey with you both 👍👍

[@StevenPLegere]

I have been waiting a long time to see these wheel house repairs! I love watching y'all's videos have been for what like 2 years now? Can't wait to see her finished...

[@b6s4shelter]

Awesome episode! Funny how such a piece makes others behind the scene look so insignificant. Even though the ground was much more work.

[@billmeldrum2509]

You guys are crushing it on this project. 🇨🇦

[@geoffcoope710]

You two are brilliant. A pair of real grafters, working so hard with such dedication. I think you should get some sort of award for your effort. I'll give you a mention if I ever get to meet the King.

[@johnbazaar8440]

Inspector Clouseau? Beautiful work as always. 😎👍

[@spektrum33]

You have worked hard to get to this stage, and it’s looking really good now well done 👍👍👍

I love doing this type of curved work. The two of you are pros as far as I'm concerned. Excellent video.

[@davehine724]

You two are the absolute best!!! Love ya from New York!!!❤

[@islandnightowl]

What about using house deck metal attachments that allow you to have many attachment points to both the uprights and the deck. On a house when building a deck. You have metal cradles for the deck beams that attach to the exterior of the house. Hope that made sense! Lol They are used in Canada eh! Love seeing Sarinda coming back to life and learning lots as well ❤❤

[@denis9450]

Hi guys you just smashed it out the park lots of love to you and yours from Liverpool

[@deanjones2525]

I'm so overjoyed that you both have arrived at another major milestone.

[@marksinclair701]

Milestone! That demo looked **really** satisfying...

[@lisam4503]

Nice to see you guys making real progress on Sarinda! She is starting to look loved again!

[@kevinmartin3859]

That is one major difference to sarinda with the work done on her wheelhouse well done fantastic achievement especially with the weather we have had she looking so reborn watching the tide coming was like watching the river severn bore was great see you next week 😊😊

I always find your work on Serinda inspirational,

[@percyjohnsson816]

I admit! I'm not a motoryacht man. I'm a sailor but I follow you all the time getting thar wreck into a boat!

[@paulmadden4090]

Your judgement of when to use timelapse on repeat actions is very good in my opinion. It is also nice to have a good length video to look forward to. keep up the good work guys!

[@jadawin01]

It looks to me that all the hard work you are doing will end up with Sirinda being in better shape than when she was built, good work and thank you for letting us see it all coming together.

[@campervanzoso]

Fantastic job, looking great.

Beautiful work

[@kjell-ovekarlsson8965]

Nice work. It takes it, said the Volvo worker looking out with the track. 😁 If I were you, I would now take the opportunity to prime the plywood with polyester and 30% styrene while it is still dry. You have that again when you lay the fiberglass.

[@mitchellmcpherson8489]

I like the insulation (rockwool) better recovery in wet, and I wanted to say "Simon change your table and chop saw blades " you'll be happy.
