We Bought a 1 Euro Boat! 3 Years Later… The Crazy Transformation of Seabird! UPDATE!

[@steveriordan6348]

Don't burn yourselves out. If you need to take breaks from youtube just take time out. Your audience will understand. One of my favourite channels just shut down due to burnout. Please don't go the same way. All in all, great communication from you guys, loving your work and your videos. ❤

[@tonyreardon1951]

it's a funny business, i'm a 73 year old guy in new zealand and you don't know me at all, but i watch you every week and am getting to know you and i wouldn't keep watching if i didn't enjoy the 2 of you [as well as the work]. so thank you

[@hobie695]

Thanks for the recap on your progress. You two are absolutely amazing. The progress is overwhelming. Stay focused and keep smiling. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

[@SailingSeabird]

Thank you so much! Step closer each day. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@Marcel-J]

You are doing a very good job 👍🏻 And the next months will be even better. Keep on working on Seabird, she will be a beautiful boat.

[@JohnKenIRB233]

Best AV presentation yet! Thx for bringing us along!😊😊😊 John Ken

[@CraigScott-c8t]

You guys have come an amazing way from the start of this project. Your hard work and dedication will pay off in the end.

[@Mr.-Wint]

That upper greenish trim really is very stylish, - excellent tasteful choice, - matches the copper colour beautifully !

[@mael6834]

Great episode. It's fun to watch your progress with Seabird. :)

[@josefhinterhuber2983]

Great overview. Seabird will be a jewel in the water.

[@SailingSeabird]

We'd be happy just floating. Thanks for the encouragement. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@08StreetGlide]

Yes I agree, you should take some time off on the weekends to recharge. The boat is looking great, winter is right around the corner and the cooler temps are not the ideal scenario for working outside.

[@kennyhoskins5106]

Always a pleasure to see you and watch Seabirds progress.

[@SailingSeabird]

Thank you, glad you enjoy. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@catherinejohnson1671]

I've watched your whole Journey with the seabird in a few days... So much has Changed.. you've worked so hard and should be extremely proud (i know you are, she looks beautiful), at the beginning Stuart Seemed very stressed and didn't get very involved with the videos, now he makes my husband and I laugh out loud with his dry sense of humour and one liners.. Marina is a very beautiful person.. but over time seen a real human side to her, and that even though she's full of smiles, it's a difficult process and it's not always 'Rainbows'.. We think you're both lovely people and can't wait to see the inside progress. Sending you positivity xx

[@kdclothes]

Seabird looks beautiful. You should be proud of yourselves. Your accomplishments are heroic. Its easy to get frustrated doingvan overhaul, but you both really never gave up. I love watching your progress. You are endearing and funny and inctrdibly hard workers. Bravo.

[@gfimadcat]

Y'all doing good! And yeah, take breaks. The end is in sight, don't burn out right before the finish line. Besides, it'll be winter soon, not the best time to do a lot of work - do some anyway, but take some time to just ... do not much at all. Do nothing. Just, I dunno, chill, have a cup of tea, read a book, read two books, have the hot chocolate. Heck, have the whipped cream with that.

[@WihGlah]

So much great work - congrats on the progress.

[@SailingSeabird]

Thank you. Strp by step. It's been a lot of fun. Solving little problems every day. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@RobertDaniels-s8c]

Keep going. Your get there

[@SailingSeabird]

Thank you, we will! Cheers for watching 🙂

[@Rickxta]

Incredible persistence in the face of a mountain of work !😊

[@eddiegribben1397]

It's incredible the work you both done so hard working defo have a day off recharge the rewards absolutely will be worth it 1 euro boat in French Polynesia sail round the world and time line is nothing as your building your home for life well done inspiration

[@Hansen3111]

Sounds like a plan I have faith in you.... Great work starting to see the ending...

[@SailingSeabird]

We are still a long way off... But, step by step. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@mickmarshall9254]

Just can't imagine all the grunt work involved! Fantastic 🎉

[@Pixie-ix1so]

So excited to see how you are going to fit out the inside!! Marina, your interior design skills are going to be on full display 😊😊😊❤

[@rolfdc2934]

Very much looking forward to follow your progress, I think that your work until now was very succesfull.

[@raytheron]

What progress! You two have done an amazing job so far!

[@690Lighthouse]

You guys have a lot more energy than me, I hope it all goes well and I will be watching every time. Best wishes.

[@mickmarshall9254]

Good for you! Take care of yourselves 😊

[@SailingSeabird]

Thank you! Will do! Cheers for watching 🙂

[@michaelbaron8089]

Great episode! I was worried in the beginning and I asked you about your plan and you answered, we have no plan. In this episode you said "the plan is..." I was very happy to hear this. Now you clearly can envision the end goal and have a plan to get there and that seems to have given you new energy. I'm very happy for you. You got this!

[@johnhowlett7711]

You are doing so well. Keep going. Keep working outside as much as possible.

[@erikdailly]

You will get it done! A day off now and then is a good idea. Remember, this will be a great time to look back on once you're sailing!

[@mikewoodward5765]

You’re doing a wonderful job and definitely deserve a bit of rest, I for one am certainly looking forward to seeing the results , keep up the good work 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

Looking forward to the journey 🎉🎉🎉

[@SailingSeabird]

Yay! Thank you! It's going to be fun. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@termotka]

I hope this video helped you to see how much you have already done on seabird. You are amazing 🥰 Great idea with the days off. Take care 💖

[@MorganButler-td5tv]

You are doing a fantastic job you both deserve a pat on the back. The boat has come such a long way.Some people might have thrown the towel in but the two of you have kept going by staying positive and supporting each other through thick and thin

[@scottlomas5509]

Fantastic 😊

[@SailingSeabird]

Thanks 🤗 Cheers for watching 🙂

[@scottlomas5509]

@@SailingSeabird I'm glad you guys are back at the boat! I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes over the winter. You guys have done a fantastic job so far 💯

[@mariajesusgorostola4559]

Impresionante! Cuanto trabajo! El cambio es espectacular ❤

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

If you can keep nocking off one project one at a time in no time, you will be off the hard and back into the sea. Thanks for sharing the update, and have a wonderful weekend

[@carlcarlamos9055]

Thanks for the video. You two are terrific! Pace yourselves and steady onward. You have accomplished a great deal and amassed a great deal of experience and knowledge. Congratulations. Your goals are in sight. Take care.

Awesome transformation. I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

[@ssshebees2842]

Seabird fly soon,you are bravissimo.

[@SailingSeabird]

Can't wait! Cheers for watching 🙂

[@sailingoptions]

What a great update - thank you for recapping on all the work you've done and listing the forward plan. I wish I still had your level of energy and enthusiasm - harness it now, but also take time to be you and reflect on the successes achieved so far - including before Seabird, which was prep for now. Stay safe, stay strong and reach out for the day you raise the mainsail - you've got this - keep going!

[@simh77]

Keep up the good work. Will be great to see you guys finally be able to move back onboard. Will be even better to see you lifted into the water one day.

[@deancleavesmith]

Great recap of what has been an enormous amount of work. Great to hear that you are planning some days so important to get a break no manner how passionate and determined you are its a huge job and there is still lots to do. Take care.

[@SailingSVCordelia]

Great intro to your crazy life ❤

[@hanstinekevangorcum9718]

Very nice new intro. Some much done and so enough still to do. Good plan to take days off weekly.

[@SailingSeabird]

Thanks 👍 Days off are for pottering on the boat. 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers for watching 🙂

[@greglomas7620]

Marina if you lay the cork properly you can walk over it for years 😂😂

[@SailingSeabird]

Hehe. Here's hoping 😉 Cheers for watching 🙂

[@JOhn-qz2vi]

Stuart you have to remember that every man has to have a good woman behind them and with Marina you really do have that.

[@SailingSeabird]

Marina is great! We are really enjoying this time together. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@giorgid5247]

[@robertstephenson6926]

Great recap video and what's to come, I'll look forward to seeing your ongoing progress as much as the last two years

[@AlanKaufer]

I feel like the review of your progress was good for your viewers and you as well. You deserve way more than a pat on the back! Thanks and Stuart, more silly things in FRONT of the camera!

[@Geeone212]

This was great! Brilliant to catch up on all you’ve done👍

[@SailingSeabird]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers for watching 🙂

[@billywhizz6483]

A great review, it really shows the amazing progress that you've made!

[@timchance2002]

such an amazing video this week! thank you! I look forward to them every friday after i get home from work! Seabird has a new life ahead of it thanks to your love being poured into it. But always remember to take some time away from it for your love for each other also. Oh, and Stewert can act silly any time he wants! LOL I love it when you two add some fun to the project! Anyway, I just wanted to say I love watching your progress, and remember, there is no such thing as absolute perfection, only happy with it! Cheers till next week!

[@laurabartoli5909]

Great recap! Still a lot of work to do!

[@RobertBobForsyth]

You have shown yourselves very able and capable of bringing the boat to its current status. Jolly well done indeed. It was never going to be easy and you will face difficulties ahead which you know you will be able to overcome. Try not to cut corners, why not tackle all the window openings, you will not regret it? Be realistic on task durations! Most projects are late and over budget because not enough realistic thought has gone into the design, planning and estimating process. You are right about work overload, pace yourselves and try to enjoy the whole process, even the boring parts. If you have difficulties shout out to your subscribers. Communication is the key, nothing happens without it. Do not forget you are now well on your way to completing what will be an incredible transformation.

[@greglomas7620]

Maybe some sort of trolley system that the engine to sit on once you lower it into boat and then you can slide it into place easier. Make trolley higher than engine mounts so you can use leverage to slide it into place.

[@selmatrudellisailing]

Excellent Video! 👍

[@ronaldoalbertini5356]

Fantastic job 👏👏👏👍 hello from Brazil !

[@heavyduty2280]

"I'm a sander at best" xD haha love u guys, take ur time, keep up the great work wooo Seabird!!

[@ascot1049]

Brilliant.

[@xavierbonneyrat4864]

Nice video ! 🤩. What you didn’t say, is are you still living on the other boat ? And will you still be living on her, for the next 6 months ?

[@johngibson1396]

Terrific video guys. Marina, you in particular, are a very good presenter but both you and Stu make the story so interesting. Sure there is lots of work to do but you have made really solid progress so far and by doing the job properly you won't have to re do anything. Good luck to you both. For me your weekly videos are my favourite watch first thing of a Saturday morning in Melbourne, Australia.

[@Mainforce66]

great job you 2, good idea to make a list and plan of action.. Having real goals is the way forward!

[@topcat43truffles15]

A nice long visit with Marina and Stuart this week! (and Seabird) Enjoy your weekend and have a Happy 👻Halloween next Thursday! All the Best, Tommy in Nola! I’m going to see the perfect band for a Halloween party at the Saturn Bar ( in the book 😊)Thursday night. A surf rock band combining Japanese masks and fire…lol “Daikaiju” see KZbin… 🤣

[@ianrusso8790]

nice narration girl!! the boat looks so amazing

[@renebergsma2616]

Nice!

[@timsampson5229]

What a great summary! You've achieved so much and are still smiling and confident. Are you living nearby? You were living on a friend's boat for a while - weren't you?

[@steveward60]

Another great video

[@johnpowell1952]

🇬🇧 + 🇪🇸 = Seabird Stew & Marina, you guys rock. Well done so far. You are making a miracle come true. Ps Stew, when are you popping the big question to Marina?

[@DaveHines1]

Whilst it seems like there is so much still to do, when you break it down it sounds manageable , even though it may involve a lot of hard work 😃🍻

[@Petenz81]

The he answered my query by explaining everything . Turns out it WAS a skeg and rudder was to be built.😂

[@cals4200]

Great video you two. if you get the ribs in, bed raised and engine in is a great goal in itself over the winter. I think you can do it. You are that good. My wife bakes some screaming sugar cookies before Christmas. Will have to send you some this year. Cheers from the states.

[@sligeach]

Great work guys, Seabird looking amazing. I expected you would have completly encased the cross floors (ribs) with biaxial cloth and woven roving and apoxy, making them stronger and completly water proof. 18yrs ago on the advice of a surveyor because of hull flex in the deadrise area i cut out my cabin sole (grp moulding) and along with cleaning and sanding the hull area and removing the old tabbed in 1/2" plywood cross floors, i added many layers of biax/woven rov epoxied on that area of hull and extending as far out as accessible, i then fitted new 36mm plywood crossfloors completly encased plus added extra cross floors. Now 'Clyde Built' surveyor was very pleased. Definatly worth the extra effort. Keep up the good work.❤

[@SubServ637]

Looking really good; you inspire me as I start my Gulfstar refit this spring.

[@TomGillis-wx1wr]

I would like to see an aft watertight door! Possible maybe, then some sort of heater for winter work

[@MaShcode]

The longer you take the harder the hull copper coat gets so you have that going for you. That said, the last bit of any project generates most of the stress as the lolly evaporates into thin air. She looks much better. Soldier on mates.

[@martinbowskill5511]

Still a shitload of work guys but as someone said there is a light now at the end of the tunnel. Don't burn yourselves out plug away remember if it takes 5yrs to complete so be it! Cheers n beers Marty Australia

[@SailingSeabird]

😂🤣😅 Good one. Cheers for watching 🙂

[@user-MRG1130]

If KZbin has become your job, you guys ought to treat it as such. If I was getting burned out, I’d start limiting myself to only working so many hours. A lot of ppl put in 40hrs each week, and have a couple days to getaway from their job. That can be a little tricky when you live on the job site, 😂 so I get it, and see how it can become 7 days a week. Regardless, boat look great, you two ought to be proud of what you’ve accomplished, see ya in the next video.

[@marcboydens2943]

Admiro el esfuerzo como pareja ...la unión hace la fuerza ...crack on ...olvídense de lis pequeños detalles ...nada ni nadie es perfecto ...yo les admiro y me encanta ver cada nuevo video....a puro pulmón...bajo presupuesto... les doy mis respecto...adelante siempre adelante y no sean esclavos de su proyecto ...toman su tiempo ....solo se vive una vez

[@bendaves77]

Use 4k clear coat that comes in a spray can.. it will protect that aluminum rub rail..

[@Topher5035]

It is great to see the progress and the remaining work building up should be more satisfying. Finishing the interior over winter makes sense, can you get any internal heating into the boat at that site? Hull/Deck/Mast over summer also makes sense. Will you keep the 70’s style lines and winches at the mast, or run some lines to the cockpit? Pros and cons both ways I think. I do like the 60/70’s centre cockpit lines as a sea kindly passage maker. Good luck.

[@renatofigueiredo603]

Next months are coming!

[@spangenbob]

Not a pro but you need to keep the weight distributed even, and low as you can get it so your not listing to one side and the waves don't rock you so bad. Looking great, Thank You for the video's !!!!
