They Laughed While We Built a Yacht in the Backyard, But Then They Were Amazed

This is the story of building our homemade yacht in the backyard. We built the yacht mainly with my wife, but relatives and friends also helped us in the construction.
We have been building the yacht for 5 years, and spent $ 30,000 on all materials.
In this time-lapse we will show you the whole process of creating a wooden sailing yacht from making frames to sea trials under sail.
We are a happy young couple, Gena and Vita. We like to equip life around us with our own hands. So we feel as independent as possible and realize ourselves creatively. We love making videos and try to make them useful. Therefore, we will develop and further develop this channel. We have many more construction projects that we will surely surprise you with. If you support family values and love to create with your own hands, welcome to our CREATIVE COUPLE family
In 2017, we were forced to sell the yacht as we wanted to quickly finish building our house, but we are already hatching a plan to build a new expeditionary aluminum yacht.
Here you can see the history of the construction of our house: • We TURNED This 100 Yea...
We made the project for the yacht ourselves, you can download it from this link: drive.google.com/file/d/19U934pMDDZfNXlfW4gocBjlMftsrDKi6

*For 5 years, our neighbors laughed while we were building a yacht in our backyard, but then they were amazed. And we ourselves were surprised by such an amazing result. The boat turned out to be very maneuverable, as for a cruiser, it was fast enough and could go at a steep angle to the wind. Be sure to watch our other videos about self-building, they will definitely amaze you.*

I enjoy sailing myself and can only imagen the satisfaction after you've got the boat in the water and can start your adventure. The boat was amazingly well balanced and had a perfect paint job. That yacht could go around the world in one journey with no problem! This is also one of the best Yachts I've seen and its not even manufactured by some of the best Yacht companies like Amels or Heesen. Any other luxury yachts would just not be the same as a "Built in Backyard Yacht".

[@0623kaboom]

tbh like any project ... start with the idea ... then a drawing ... then make plans ... the usual process for anything ...

[@EarthSurferUSA]

@@0623kaboom But those are the plans. Making it is a different story when you are doing it for the first time. You have to figure it out as you go, and try not to mess up (something done out of sequence, or scrapped something.), so you don't have rework or have to back track the process. As a life long non-union machinist, manufacturing engineer and now a small business owner I can tell you tat after I get the idea, draw the prints and make the plans,------If it is your first time making it, you will find yourself "winging it", intelligently as you figure out how to make it. Just drawing the prints and sending it to china, (which was the "USA busting" decision, to mix free enterprise with communism.), is what you speak of. The reason why their neighbors laughed, (for those who did), is because they never thought of what it takes to make something. Now they are amazed, at what we sound be doing.

Just hard work.

My grandfather and father did the same thing in our yard in Banff when I was young. The boat was named Galatea, which is now the name of my business. Great memories, awesome work guys!

[@76Eliam]

Fun fact : "Galatea" is a mythological character whose name means "she who is milk-white". It is based on the Greek root γᾰ́λᾰ (gála, “milk”), which also gave the word "galaxy", which is... the name of the boat built on the video. Fun fact n°2 : the word "galaxy" actually comes from γαλαξίας (galaxías, “milky”). In Greek mythology, the trickster god Hermes suckled the infant Heracles at the breast of Hera, the queen of the gods, while she was asleep. When Hera awoke, she tore Heracles away from her breast and splattered her breast milk across the heavens, forming the white strip of stars that was called the "Milky Way" during thousands of years. Later we discovered that all the stars visible with bare eyes were within the same group of stars, and that there were countless of such groups of stars very far from our. We then used the term "Milky way" to name our own group of stars and we used the root "galaxias" to name these groups of billions of stars.
