[@samueljock7291]

THIS channel should have 5 million followers......THESE 2 kick ass and take names on every project. THIS IS MY FAVORITE KZbin CHANNEL !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpearItAnimal]

😂💙💚🏴‍☠️🍻

[@bahamasking2063]

100%

[@jacksmith8002]

Jay is a stud, impressive workmanship and attention to detail

[@MaMa-st2eg]

Raff and Sasha you are setting the standard of design, functionality, and beauty. I am so excited each week to see what comes next......Raff your skills are exemplary but I got to say Sasha's touch is evident and her willingness to jump in the deep water without a life jacket on this build is mind blowing.....

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank youuu 🍻💙💚

[@War4theWest]

@@SpearItAnimal Ya, I have to echo the high 5 for Sasha! Not just a pretty girl, she's clearly into this refit and project just as much as Raff and takes on real work. Raff's carpentry is THE secret weapon here of course though, you are a swami with hand tools. I'm humbled. Raff also simply does not see 'No' - everything is solvable. It's infectious. I dislike being such a fanboi, it makes me uncomfortable, lol. But you two are really special.

[@Mpkev]

The both of you compliment each other.

[@68Mustang390]

Wow, that’s the coolest cover I’ve ever seen , great job .

[@JosephTMeiroseIV]

Jay is the hero in this video!

[@hoopaholicstickum]

Craftsmen like Jay are a real treasure…. Skilled craftsmen are far FAR too seldom. The frame looks awesome!!!!

[@Greg-pt7ur]

Raf's skill is impressive. Can't wait to see the results.

[@randyvanderveer4067]

This is the best refit I’ve ever seen on any sailing channel. I wish you both the best of success the rest of your life.😊

[@alexmikhael5061]

DUCA did as nice on wireing up ODD (ODD LIFE CRAFTING) but dang that battery/wire/distro wall was freekin impressively pretttttyyy!!!!! ((ALMOST PRETTYIER THAN HIS HOTTIE GIRLFRIEND!!! *ALMOST* jus sayin'))

[@s7evendwn]

You two are killing it as usual. What I appreciate watching the most is the attention to detail and pre work planning that is involved.

[@dinacaldwell7522]

I just love your f..king get it done attitudes

[@JimWalkerMusic]

I like how y'all think. Always dreaming too. My kinda ppl. And Aiyana is so adorable and aways smiling! I think it would be tough to be in a bad mood around her! 😎

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you! We can’t help but to dream big or bigger 😁

[@hardstandpete]

As guys, your vision and skill set are something else! RESPECT

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Both of you are rocking it bigtime! Raff, your experience in construction and other trades has served you & Sascha well with all of the varied things you have done to pretty much overhaul this boat and make it seaworthy & comfortable to live in. Sascha, you also provide experience of your own contributing to this project with your guy. Keep up the great work, love seeing your videos each week, looking forward to the next one!

[@gsahookah599]

I'm just... well, I'm so thoroughly impressed! Impressed with both of you for planning the build, getting measurements accurate, and especially with the quality of the build. I've never been so excited to see a hard-top finished product in my life, haha.

[@williamwoolcock]

You're so crazy. Great to watch your foibles and fantasys.

[@ryanmiller6887]

What an epic channel! so many good vibes, I really hate that the episodes end! I got my vote in already! Thanks Raff and Sascha !!!! #1 SAILING CHANNEL ON KZbin!!!!!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you 🎉

[@Blast2hell]

You all are officially one of the videos I now look for every week. I swear I've just been hitting refresh on my subscriptions waiting for your next vid to come up. Great stuff! Keep it going.

[@adc69]

Two story Stripper pole, actually made me laugh out loud 😂

[@joekellyou]

Every time Aiyana pops into a sailing channel everything goes perfectly!

[@jasongrinnell1986]

That is so awesome. Y’all are going to have the most awesome hard top ever. Just when I don’t think y’all can top yourselves. Boom next episode y’all top yourselves.

[@ctown6971]

That thing looks awesome

[@BlandDeuce]

Loving this series...It's looking so good from what ya'll bought

[@janderson3786]

It's all about Karma. Good people find Good people! Love seeing real craftsmanship.

[@helodriver20]

The b-roll, editing, story telling, and video get better and better every week. ❤

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you so much!!

[@JayPerrypersonal]

That’s a crazy amount of weight to add to your boat. Also all the weight aft and high. The high weight is definitely an issue as it alters the moment of vanishing stability and the capsize ratio. This is super important and the capsize ratio on your boat from manufacture is already outside recommended specifications for a blue water sailing yacht, yet you say you want to sail around the world. Great work but man buy a huge motor boat or a floating apartment catamaran, that monohull is not the boat for you guys! That is a cool hard top though! 👍⛵️

[@joshstamey4136]

I absolutely love the fact that these guys give the middle finger to all of the sailing hardliners that think they know everything. Great work as always!

[@SpearItAnimal]

🍻🏴‍☠️

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Wow awesome job. Just amazing work. Can't wait to see it finished.

[@nutsandbolts432]

A contractor that does what he says, and a customer that pays on time. Match made in heaven.

[@Cuzog23]

You know you got a good metal guy when he uses safety squints.

[@neukin]

That Jay knows whats up.. even those fat aluminum welds are solid. I weld and fab and he did amazing.

[@rboston33]

Seems like thqt UCF education did come in handy. Love you guys. Just voted for you.

[@demons500]

That is some serious fabrication. Man's got skills!!😎

[@David_in_Thailand]

That is such a great addition to the boat. What an improvement to the comfort.

[@darrylcox8267]

OMG, you two are the first ones that built a top like I always thought should be on every off grid living mono sailboat! The sun and weather always look brutal on those monos and a hard top always seemed the way to go to me.

[@GeneMatheney]

Love it!!! Excellent video editing.

[@topc9858]

Shade, etc. spot on. But Sir... style, it looks like the biggest doghouse of the world. I get the practical part, but in a storm, you have now added stuff that will get hit by the wind and waves. You also lifted your centre of gravity by lifting the boom + all the other heavy stuff in top of the bimini. Do you notice the change when sailing? Cool videos absolutely love them. Hope that the top is made in sandwiches structure for keeping it light. Also it would have been a good idea to use carbon tubes in the frame, they are not so expensive any more.

[@cvw99]

Wow, I admire your patience for this project. You guys are amazing!

[@sheepdog1102]

Anyone that can make a jig that accurate can build anything. That’s some great planning and execution.😊

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Wow! You guys did a get job with those measurements & execution. Stay safe ❤

[@kylebutcher1398]

Sorry the DD internet couldn’t get the upload done for you. 😅 Glad y’all got it posted!!🎉

[@MesaperProductions]

Commenting to encourage Al G. Rythm to love Spear It Animal as much as we do!

[@matthewbram4132]

Wow! Way to go Jay. Super impressive. After it was mounted it really looks like, to me, that it belongs. I think Jay was right that it would appear smaller once it was mounted on the boat.

[@JoeB1207]

Fresh bait - keeper My first thought is glassing in a trash can in the lazarette. Throwing that out there to see how you tackle it.

[@WEsail]

DUDE! You guys!! Love all the hard work, love that you guys just go for it and make it yours!! If you are getting any negative comments DO NOT let them get to you, a sailboat is just a starting point- design, build, break, fix, learn, move forward!! Keep it up

[@brownsrepairs573]

I have been a welder / fabricator for 25 years and that guy did a awesome job

[@chadehlermann3074]

Awesome!!!

[@juniorcobb5162]

Ya know, it's hard to put into words the roller coaster emotional ride the "what if" happens. From my heart, your hard work, foresight & dream of completing this task is noteworthy. For what it's worth? Jus me, from Michigan. Blown away by one of the best hardtop, davit, solar panel extraordinaire structures I've ever seen. Raff if I was there? I'd punch you in the arm like a brother, for a job well done. Sascha you malady are the bee's knees. From my heart you two are the perfect couple. Thank you for being you.

[@allmomomosthomebus3895]

Jay is the TIG welding master of the universe. Wow.

[@gtbdds]

Raff you are so easy goin' but your skills are AMAZING carpentry, electrical, mechanical, and your outside the box thinking!

[@Ghost_Recon_Actual]

Jay is a master craftsman but the hardtop wouldn't have been worth crap without Raf's experience and expertise. Out-Fucking-Standing. It's gonna look so freaking good that other mono-hull sailors are gonna want one done on their boats. Who knows Raf but I think you have created something that could make you and Jay boat-loads of 💰💰

[@kaskl5403]

Nicely done.

[@gskii9462]

Awesome job on the new rack,,,, congrats out to Jay for his excellent work, and the measurements of Raff and Sasha. Come on guys,,, lets get those votes in for SIA (Spear It Animal), and put them over the top,,,,

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you!

[@tomwilliams8675]

That is a thing of beauty. Jay's a true craftsman at his trade. You guys rock🤝🤝👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@leevandyke8524]

Good job.

[@ceschias3733]

Balls of steel you guys, congrats. Hope doesn't afect it's sailing abilities. Ayana is a mamasita, so beautiful smile. Love from OsoYolo, Anigua Guatemala.

[@sanddan525]

You both are doing a great job on both your boat upgrades and the videos. Very creative, the results show it. My only comment, as an engineer, is to through bolt the forward attachment plates. It would make stronger in tension loads, due to the tender and all the stuff you plan on storing up there. In heavy seas you will thank yourself for adding the extra strength.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Agreed, we are through bolting every pad, just waiting on Jay to finish making them all

[@frankm6211]

I enjoy your ingenuity on improving your boat beyond original design. Great job and thank you for your honesty.

[@Ian_Christensen]

Congratz on the hard top... I'm officially a fan of Jay!

[@joachimpohle5260]

The whole boat is a powerhouse ;)

[@HighFlight2k2]

If you found any wood core when you drilled please make sure you drill fill and drill to make sure no water gets into the core. Awesome job guys!!! Oh, and Aiyana is one of my new favorite people btw after her time on Eva.

[@Iceman31211]

Hope the boat will float 😊

[@arnaldotav6709]

I will definitely vote for my favorite sailing couple on KZbin. I can't wait to see you guys weeding.

[@duncan.g.burton]

Incredible work and you'll definitely have the best hard top out there. Just a quick suggestion, you must back plate the pads, otherwise the gelcoat will crack under high winds. I'm sure you already have this planned and sorry for probably pointing out the obvious. Anyway safe sailing and looking forward to your adventures on the Big Blue.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Yes we install those as well! Next ep!

[@cyclomaniac9086]

Brilliant !

[@Erica_Brenda]

Wow! I can't wait to see the finished product! Well Done!

[@danhofmann9713]

Ok. Best sailing you tube channel I've seen so far. Asking all the right questions.

[@kevinlecavalier3377]

Late to the party……dang this fabricator was amazing, but don’t cut yourself short Raff……the template you made for him was a technical thing of beauty. Great job all.

[@pkane5472]

Keep knocking 'em dead you guys! Great content!

[@andidemartini]

Never binged watched a youtube channel as hard as this one. Insanely entertaining and inspiring. Keep it up :)

[@nicelourieyu3589]

Jay, is a rare find...impressive job....I hope he gets a lot of offer after this episode..

[@shawnmoore9380]

Freaken great job to all involved.

[@crates12]

hardtop envy for everyone else

[@jonblair5470]

Jay for the win!!

[@sas-po7nw]

Big Undertaking building that.. very nice

[@harlest71]

Just voted ! Great video guys. It's not too big I think It's going to be perfect.

[@chrishanks4869]

That is incredibly looking great job on everything involved in it you two work great together

[@edwardnigma2216]

That frame came out beautifully... The only thing I'd be concerned about is sealing the bolt holes so water doesn't get into the cabin, making sure the stainless/aluminum don't have a direct metal-metal connection because of corrosion, and making sure it's WELL grounded to the bonding plate. Also may want to keep an eye on how much weight you're adding up top as it could affect your balance and catch the wind if your boat rolls a bit farther than you expect.

[@seanrice1222]

Thanks y’all, I got a couple weeks behind. I enjoyed a short Spear it binge ✌️

[@tropicalshrimp]

Most underrated sailing youtube channel ever ! Amazing work guys, thank you for this videos

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you!!! Don’t know how everyone else get loads of subs 😂

[@tropicalshrimp]

@@SpearItAnimal with time I guess, I will do my part to push it up each videos. ❤️

[@ElectronicMarine]

just copying your ideea :) i thought i was mad for the amount of work ive donne on my boat.. but you guys beat me to it!! i really admire you!!

[@SteifWood]

This is the Master Class Video how to design, construct and fit a hard top on a boat. I remember the Soulianis had to scrap 2 (or 3?) much smaller frames before they could start sowing their DIY bimini. This SIA project is like how RR produce a new car compared to how Lada does it (Russian manufacturer that supplies their cars with a tool kit as they constantly breaks down). Muchos Kudos Sash and Raffa.

[@philgee6901]

Nice! It does look smaller on the boat...!

[@juniorcobb5162]

Hey you awesome Knuckleheads, looking forward to the next drop. That's my way of saying. I miss you goofballs. Best wishes on y'all making it!

[@marmoose30]

Master craftsman! So impressive!

[@chicago1boy]

Omg 😂 the face Raf makes when he sees the size of the rig! Love seeing y’all filming long projects and making the vids educational and great to look at too 🤩

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you! 🍻🏴‍☠️

[@rbaker1819]

Of all the DIY projects I've ever witnessed, this one had me on the edge of my seat. I thought you would never get it measured out correctly then i was worried it would be too big for the boat and finally i wondered how you would get it out to and attached. Low and behold it all came together and fit like a glove...Great job Spirit Animal!

[@richardpickersgill3434]

Nice job! That safety gear was amazingly underrated. I can't believe Jay still has his toes and eyes.

[@johnrode7109]

Very cool

[@obieandlaurie]

Great to see Dre and Aiyana……the top is a thing of beauty. Cheers,

[@LNorthwall]

Never watched a boat rebuild that blew my socks off. Keep up the great job.

[@DJBRO2005]

First! Edit: man I really love this channel, keep up the good work guys.

[@johanvandijk5248]

Bedankt

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you 💚💙🏴‍☠️🍻 Dankjewel!!!

[@waltervang]

Funny to ayanna joining you guy as she was last month in Europa with jade and Evan. Big progress so far.

[@dillinpicklesworth5698]

Vare niiiice 😂❤ yeah hard top is the way to go 👍

[@Movieman1965]

Awesome skills all around! I know I would have measured everthing 10 times to make sure it would be as close a fit as possible!

[@TheFULLAUTOHERO]

Yet another kickass video.

[@Tripple-L432]

Freakin awesome episode Guys !! Keep em comin,Lovin it !! Knoxville Tn.USA

[@QuickChip-v2w]

I'm planning to do the same thing to my sailboat, so I'm very appreciative of y'all taking the lead on this and showing us how you did it!

[@allenclark1914]

Wow,, that top is amazing!!
