I ask myself why a 79-year-old pensioner, who lives on a pension, gives money to Saling Uma, and the answer came up two-fold, the first is inspiration, these two people are so inspiring, they have the rare gift of teaching without teaching, and the second reason is: In my life experience, I never found a better metaphor for life and living than sailing (I don't sail but at 16 I did go to sea as a deck boy). I wrote the following to a friend recommending Sailing Uma: I think a perfect metaphor for life is sailing, and the greatest gift is a sea-worthy boat (Body) coupled with the ability (mind) to navigate in all weathers not alone, but in a relationship, to leave port or not to leave port, to accept the stormes (Better to be prepared for nothing than unprepared for something they, have this down pat) and to know we are responsible for our actions, and the results of those actions, this translates perfect sailing, and yes shit does happen, and yes dont buy a couch.

Another beautifully executed and practical enhancement to your boat. You guys always manage to invest the right amount of time, detail and planning into these projects and the results speak for themselves. I am tiring of many other sailing / project channels who continually fail to thoroughly plan and / or take shortcuts, then proceed to bleat, whinge and cry when inevitably everything turns to s**t. Clearly you guys are the “benchmark” for renovation and improvements for live aboard yachting. Bravo !!!

I was so put off when I read the title. I thought Uma was gone. To me Uma is the third crew member and a big reason I watch your videos. I don't look forward to the actual sailing videos as much as I do to seeing your DIY on Uma. I am in awe of the work you two have done together and love seeing your mistakes because they make your successes seem even so much sweeter. You two should collaborate with some company and have your own line of sailing vessels. What you have done to Uma has transformed her into so much more than she was. She now has a much more practical layout and at the same time so much more beautiful. To me Uma is your baby and I kind of dread the day you have fixed up everything you can possibly fix up. Than like a child that has grown up and no longer needs their parents, she goes off on other adventures. If you are to continue making videos like your current videos, that seems inevitable.

An ‘old timer’ who worked in the early fiberglass days in the 50’s told me about how the early resins were so thick and sticky there was no hand-lay up. Everything was done by pressure molding of various methods . They were making an early small boat hull using a large rubber bladder, after they blew the mold apart and scared a lot of people they switched to wetlayup vacuum bagging as the materials improved too. But apparently what comes around goes around and back to bladder pressure forming! We also used to make Mack truck air intakes in alum molds and pressure bladders ! There’s nothing new under the sun!

STEVEN HOLTON Hi steve ,small world! I made the tooling for Mack truck hoods and other parts . We also took over the east coast manufacture of the big square front 'California hood' like this images.app.goo.gl/gSNHcPARn9agEGZQ9 At the height of production in the 80's we made over 450 various models of hood a week! Crazy times! In the Mack truck headquarters lobby in the Leigh valley they had part of the front of the square front model coming out of the wall with a painted scene of it driving across the Death Valley! Some of the slammer models like the CL 700 were built by compression molding in huge metal molds. But later converted to ha lay up / spray up by us and others! Cheers Warren
