You have earned every inch of this treasure and I hope you and your wonderful family enjoy many miles and many moons of amazing adventures and beautiful memories. Thanks for taking all of us along on your journeys.

[@thelastpirate]

Awe, that's a sweet message. Thanks, Brother. That just made my day!

[@runemartinguldberg9056]

All the mishaps. There is nothing called mishaps when it’s a pattern. Now cashing out collected money.

[@francismoore4976]

An older but a quality sailboat that deserved a facelift!! GREAT JOB!!! What a beauty!!!!!!

[@JJ-sx6di]

Finished it now selling it! I’ll remember that when u try another crowdfunding campaign lol !

[@melinda5777]

Oh Captain James and 1st Mate Luna, Mom just a deck hand now! I think this is the 1st boat I've seen come out of the yards after an overhaul that is Completely Stunning! Breathless! These guys in this Marina are The Best!!! I would have a boat towed here because of their work! I hope other sailors watching this video goes to this yard, even if it's a haul out and pressure wash and put back in!! The owner is so Cool 😎 Man, this is SO FRIGGEN AWESOME!!! MUCH LOVE and STAY SAFE!! ✝️🙏❤❤❤🇺🇸⛵👣🍍🍍🤗

JAMES SHE HAS REALLY IMPROVED LOOKS REALLY NICE !

[@00708046]

Beautiful boat ! They did an awesome job and it was great how appreciative you were . Some people are afraid to compliment others . With you it is automatic ! May your sails always touch the wind !

[@gregoryedwardson4032]

Love your program James. Content is never boring .

[@kennethhammond6683]

The painter did a bang on job applying that paint, the boat will be so much cooler in the tropical heat, she looks beautiful James, I have always preferred a white hull.

[@billburkart8527]

Looks fantastic! All the guys involved did really nice work. What a gem of a boatyard. 👍👍

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

Literally one of the best sailing channels. None of that 'look at me' BS or that "Woe is me' nonsense. Cheers man.

[@tammy6992]

Well, the way that thing cuts through the water is beautiful

[@myinfinitestate1586]

G'day James, she's one beautiful Oyster mate. The new colours are absolutely brilliant. I'm truly gobsmacked at the quality of work. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

[@textickulartrauma8287]

I just can't wait for your videos, so glad to see you are posting again, loving everything about you, the family/crew, boat, channel, etc. Frickin' awesome!

[@thelastpirate]

Awe, you're sweet. Glad you dig the content!

[@Alaskalad]

What a great work of art

[@cellasadventures7324]

your videography and editing are excellent. Love your narrations and angles. Also really appreciate the depth you go into your projects.

[@thelastpirate]

Thanks! This took me a little while to make, I appreciate the appreciation ;)

[@bresy3793]

That's very nice ofyiu to introduce the workers that worked on the boat. That's awesome. People really like that.

[@18twilliams]

LOOKS LIKE A NEW BOAT! GREAT JOB!

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤ Such beautiful lines. She truly deserved this "makeover". Congratulations! 2024 will be a memorable year with some awesome videos. I am really looking forward to watching all your new content James. You are blessed with a beautiful boat and a beautiful family. Bye for now from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA)

[@JamesScott-my1cu]

Hey 👋 James, she looks fantastic. Can you tell me where you had the work done please.❤️😘😘🙏

[@garywinslow2973]

Hoping the folks at Oyster have had the pleasure of viewing this video and enjoyed it as much as we all did! Beautiful work on a great boat. Take care James and family. Enjoy your travels.

[@PeterCasier]

Hats off for the work team on this fast but thorough refurbishment. If anything it reminds me how much I enjoy sailing "on boats of others" and let the owners worry about maintenance, things breaking down etc. . :-)

[@thelastpirate]

Smart man.

[@rothgartheviking858]

The boat looks so good.

[@californiakayaker]

Most people aren't aware that there is Marine Grease. I use it for anything that could end up in the water, even car axles that go deep. I knew the white deck was really important for bare feet but didn't realize dark colors on boat hulls make them hot.

[@ericbergdahl6971]

Your boat looks great, I love all the changes that were made for improving the colors to make it more comfortable. The family is looking great.

[@garylinnane917]

My favourite yachts with that type of deck

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

Center cockpit.. essential on boats over 40ft

[@jlc928]

No! We are going to miss you James. Such a gorgeous boat. If I were buying I wouldn’t hesitate especially since it was your personal boat. After what happened to the catamaran, this is a fantastic buy for someone. Good luck buddy, all the best.

[@DirtBrothersAdventures-zp8gh]

Where is this place and how do I engage these fine gentleman to work on my boat?

[@simoncaselton9020]

Gliding out of the marina after all that hard work and stress is the greatest feeling.Good job James.

[@stevewildman1045]

Nice Transformation!

[@alwaysdream7642]

Boat turned out great dude!... looks epic slicing through that blue water!

[@z.pberic3061]

Looking Good !

[@timtrinkaus7072]

What a stunning classic yacht!!! She came out absolutely beautiful inside and out. The white paint was a great idea and the teak decks are amazing!! Loved the drone shots at the end. Great work all!!!

[@carltontweedle5724]

Totally different boat looks great. I was thinking why not put a hard top on, more solar rain collection plus never need replaced.

[@rohantherockwiththerocketh7871]

Mate she is looking beautiful and I agree that you just wouldn't recognise her! Great to see that Anna, bub and yourself are all looking stoked. Great video and have a ripper you guys!

Remember the first video of the boat and it was in such a state I wanted to cry. You have done a fantastic job and huge respect to you and the craftsmen for reviving this beautiful boat. 👊

[@davidbarten7429]

Finnished... oh that's rich... you more than anyone know there is no such thing 🙂 She's looking GREAT!! wow what a difference and YES blue black, red hulls are like a furnace inside... Fantastic and keep at it!!

Thank you, two simple words that mean so much. It is nice to see you recognizing the craftsmen helping Zingaro shine. Thank you and family for the video

[@PrecisionSailLoftVictoria]

Looking Good! Nice to her back in the water!

[@RicTheAzorean]

Yes! Order way more plumbing drain fittings and pipe than you need. Order spares. You will thank me later. On São Miguel Açores, I have found 2 home centers. But no hardware or plumbing supply stores!

[@marcopolo242]

Haha! You S.O.B.! You pulled it off. She looks better than new. Well done mate!

[@johnnicolson467]

Looking good james like you stole it.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

My dream boat. Solid and beautiful and roomy. I learnt to sail very close to where Oyster are based in England. Bit out of my price range. Time will tell. Amazing work.

[@mickeyh53]

Definitely has the wow factor now!..very true looks like a different boat..sits in the drink perfectly!!!…enjoy.

Gorgeous job on the finish. I now know what Color’s I want I’ll do for my boat. Thx for always inspiring. 🙏🛥️🛥️🛥️

[@ES-xc6fk]

Man James your boat looks so sleek! I have 2 weeks to go and wont be working a regular job for the rest of the year hopefully never again. I am going to focus on all my boat projects I have shared with you and Ana in the past couple years. Would love to show you my desired boat striping on my two sailboats. Remember I still would love to get you guys that fresh homemade Cherry pie from northern Michigan, the Cherry Capitol of the World. If you are anywhere's where I can ship to you next day air let me know.

[@pken9814]

I really liked to look of the blue when you first bought it. However, it really looked good in white. Plus, it won't retain heat. White is a good reflector.

[@richardburger3350]

Your “New” boat looks great! Congratulations! You probably noticed this, but just in case you didn’t, the starboard anchor locker drain hole cover was missing at the launch.

[@matiasheroina9857]

Congratulations James!!!! Nice job!!

The boat is looking great ! What paint system did you choose ?

Looks great, looking forward to the adventure!

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

what a transformation ... a paint job and floor sand ... what a difference

[@roadboat9216]

Wow, fantastic. What a job. Que’ Rico! Did a complete Awlgrip on my 46’ ketch. Big job.

[@wcads623]

Absolutely Worth it well done James and all the Marina support guys😁😁

[@rons9197]

Stunning transformation, well done!

[@thelastpirate]

Wow, thank you!

[@johnphillips519]

So bloody awesome, Love the refurb, It looks .....Schmick👌

[@michaell6580]

Just WOW. The amount of labor and quality done on fast schedule is awesome. I have personally did the bottom paint removal to gel and a full top and hullsides and bottom, all sanded and heavy duty compounding to high polish. One fulltime Guatemalan worker plus me on a 23 Mako took longer than your scope of work. Price was super value too. Congrats

[@1up-ET]

WOW !! Looks amazing!! Congratulations James!

[@johnrisher3007]

Wow I'm close to the end of the video and the boat looks awesome

[@dave-wk4t]

Question: what’s the advantage of more blades on the MaxProp over a two blade? Why not 5 blades? Is there a formula for figuring that out?

[@johnmayer3433]

The blade's tip needs to run free of the hull by around two inches so with two blades you can only get so much pushing force. So iot increase the pushing force you need three blades (more area). Five blades would simply be too expensive for most customers at being not that much more powerful.

[@jamesP9566]

What a great looking boat!! Looks great, James!!

[@michaelrobinson8915]

Polish the hull james, like the engine ports polished... water- dynamic flow with less drag, slíck...bendicones...m

[@26N80W]

Very happy for you. Congrats!
