Fantastic! ignore the naysayers.. You guys are doing an awesome job with a very difficult project and little help. My wife and I enjoy your show every week, and we can't wait to see what challenge you tackle in each episode. I am especially proud of you for tackling the huge undertaking of fixing your engine and lapping the valves, and all that goes along with such a daunting undertaking. You have a come a long way and you both have such a great attitudes! Just be careful and take your time. Well Done! (and to think a year or two ago your biggest problem was perpetual weeds while going through the locks haha. We can't wait to see you get the cat in the water)

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Guys, we follow many YT channels about Sailing: la Vaga, Nahoa, Wynns, Delos, GBU, OLC, Uma and you are probably one of those that we am most looking forward to watch. You are just very relatable. We wacth you and we thin "We want to be those guys in a few years". Thank you for your great content. It's entertaining, inspirational and educational. The holy trinity of the YT Algorithm. May you be bless with many viewers. Keep doing what you are doing xx

[@trongod2000]

Twenty thousand views per day is really impressive. Congratulations.

[@christyhanlon554]

Guys, you are amazing!!!!👍👍👍

[@toddgardenier6735]

Nice job you two..your hard work look great!!! Your 😃s are returning..you see pleased and happy of the rewards of hard work.

[@liongod1000]

@Wildlings Sailing *_ STOP saying that your boat is UGLY..... It's NOT, it's an Ugly Duckling and we all know what happens to an Ugly duckling now don't we..... A Beautiful SWAN!! I'm rooting for you guys on all the other popular channels to get you more viewers... Love you two and say thanks to Victor for the generosity of his time! _*

Crazy finds crazy. We are crazy watching crazy people do crazy things good job love the videos!

Thanks again to Un-Duz-It for sponsoring this video! It helps towards the production of these videos and makes our boat look a LOT Better. Check em out! l.clpro.com/WS-01

[@gfimadcat]

Do they deliver here? Because given the state of my boat on the outside I'mma want me a bottle of that stuff :D

[@gfimadcat]

@A j White uh, watch last week's video and see the engine repaired. And the boat is seaworthy. I mean, if you're going to be a negative twat, at least get your facts straight. But I guess you won't because it's just soooooo much easier to kick down at people so you can feel better about the miserable wretched life you've got.

[@clayfarnet970]

I told you so…not really, but you told me too, so…I did. 😂😂😂 Great job crew. 👍👍👍

[@dareneq1]

[@WildlingSailing]

Ah that's so cute! Thank you ladies!

[@jadams3427]

You two are really getting on top of the important things, and gaining even more essential knowledge of Minke. Minke is starting to look smart again. Big congratulations to Nadiyana, window project manager. You did an excellent job !

[@WildlingSailing]

Thank you Justin for all your help, you are the brain behind!

[@xpatsteve]

Despite what some people might think, I believe the two of you are doing an outstanding job of refitting this old catamaran. Your determination and willingness to learn as you go is truly inspirational. At the rate you're going, the biggest danger I see is that you just might end up owning the boatyard due to the experience you're gaining along the way. 😉

[@shadowofpain8144]

Hard work cant be faked.

[@neilmccartney6573]

What an amazingly patient and great job with those windows ! This boat is going to be just super for you both , so much faith so much hard work ! You two are inspiring ,, we are loving every minute and it reminds me of projects I have done when I was your age that now would never happen …. Thanks for your window into a world of decent every day people doing what they need to when the world outside is crazy ….

[@BalaTheRealOne]

Victor is golden! Good skill, good humor, what else do you need for a fun and productive day!

[@LydiaForJesus]

Every video is a Joy to watch. Thank you!

[@faircompetition1203]

Never cut a fuel tank with anything making sparks , if you ignite the fuel air mixture in the tank it will explode . If you must cut it , fill it with an inert gas or water before you start . Diesel is safer than petrol, had that been a petrol tank you would be dead or maimed . Safer to cut boat out of the way than tank

[@jakejaekels7991]

Putting water in the tank would stop any spark issue. Already cut a little and you are still alive so fumes, heat don’t seem to be an issue.

[@faircompetition1203]

@Mister Professor yep , and it is the empty tank that is the most dangerous - the oxygen and the residue makes an explosive mixture .

[@benniethejew]

Engine exhaust works great! Very inert.

[@faircompetition1203]

@@benniethejew Yep - it does . the hardest part is knowing that the tank is 100% filled . The tank is mild steel and a Sawzall with a few good blades would work . Me I would take it out whole , if good service and maybe line with something and reinstall .

[@glennedwards1449]

You are correct however the tank has been drained and open for several months

[@georgelewis8904]

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🥳 yea waterproof Windows, well done.

[@josephhertzberg2734]

Lovely speech

[@AESJoe]

Removing the rudders now is very smart. You'll be glad you did later!

[@robinwells8879]

I will be interested to see how they fair when they are encased in fibreglass. Personally I would be inclined to let them breathe and be able to monitor their condition. They will be difficult to seal at the top and I don’t like water logged wood behind composites.

[@timfenton5153]

Stay positive and keep going, thanks

[@sweetwifeli]

Hi , you are doing great. The boat is doing good!

[@MikeB-in1nd]

I always look forward to your videos and you never disappoint

Fantastic! You are getting so much done!

[@deeparks3112]

All bow to the Yunnan Cowgirl for a tip-top job on those windows! Sir Wildling and Prince Victor crushing it with those Mcboaty things on the rear... Looks to me like all around good cheer!

[@adrianday8678]

As an engineer, we remove large tanks by cutting them up with a recip saw no sparks much safer than a grinder use the best blades

[@WildlingSailing]

Thanks for the recomendation, we will have a look!

[@islandonlinenews]

wow, Victor seems like a super handy guy!

[@eddieohearn17]

Looking very good. This trimaran was state of the art when it was made. It is nice to see the care you give her.

[@raymondshattucks3634]

Love 💘 woching ur vidos ......

[@TheELKTUBE]

Really enjoying your channel and always look forward to new episodes. Soak your stiff ropes in water with a bit of fabric softener overnight and they'll come out soft and clean, ready to use. I'd hate to see you 2 adorable kids lose an eye or go deaf prematurely, so please use protective gear when using tools. And thanks Victor for helping them out. Nice one!

[@jackiegaudette6225]

Love your videos, your going to have an amazing boat when your done ! Dont rush , you'll get there !

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

Your Mums and Dads must be so proud of you both 🙏 I would be if you where my kids.

[@WildlingSailing]

Ah thank you !

[@richardherndon1541]

If you are crazy enough to rescue this boat then I guess I'm crazy enough to watch each of your videos to the end! Keep up the great work. It's going to be epic when you splash her!

[@latitudeash]

You guys did it. Well don Nadia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 we know you could do it. You can start your own window business now 😂🤣

[@christip20]

You should keep those wooden rudders and sand them down for maybe her cutting board or a table top for the cockpit maybe? They just look so unique and like the old school way of doing it. I’m glad you don’t cut corners it’s one of the reasons you guys have so much respect and before long you’ll be THE EXPERT!

[@christip20]

Even better if you are able to make them work! For some reason I thought it was being replaced. It looks so good without the blue.

[@gregbolitho9775]

Excellent work. so far. I'm impressed. Minke is a bludy kool name! Nadiyana way kool work on the windows. Nice work on the rudders too. Your both doin well. Stay safe, vertical an well.

[@CarlSmithAviationBroker]

If you find old, stale running lines otherwise in Ok shape, you might try soaking those in a bucket with light soapy water & fabric softener added to the mix. Jostle that bucket occasionally, since your boat is currently land-locked and won't offer any natural agitation.

[@gfimadcat]

I've seen (and done) the one where you put them in a cloth bag and yeet the whole thing into the washing machine on the wool cycle

[@shadowofpain8144]

On other channels they were just fine after all the salt was washed out

[@benfinney6156]

I would highly recommend using a face shield and eye protection when using composite cutting wheels. They are known to shatter and create extremely dangerous shrapnel. Cutting wheels made of metal are safer.

[@traylor1949]

Nadyiana you did a really really great job on those windows. You are a super hard worker and a real inspiration!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. The night shots of the windows with light shining out from inside the boat really looked great. It must be SO SATISFYING to have completed that phase of the project. My wish for you and Minke is that the windows DON'T LEAK!!

[@marcryvon]

Agreed. But Dan is an exceptional DIY guy, Kika too. BUT, UMA was not much better than this one at the start. Maybe worst after all ! Barely floating and fragile. See where they are now ! Incredible couple. No fear !

[@russelldarintullis2731]

@@marcryvon yeah uma was super duper close to loosing her keel to be honest dan is an engineer this dude is more wingin it if u into diy the ultimate is sv seeker where it all started for me or cars try coldwar motors

[@marcryvon]

@@russelldarintullis2731 Correction here: Daniel is, as Kika, an Architect, not an engineer. As such, an architect must use his design talents, thinking outside of the box, but with engineering knowledge and principals. Thus their creativity. Our very young couple here are fresh and faces big challenges but shows good DIY talents, with limited tools and budget. They’re doing great so far. Hopefully, getting knowned, they will get some sponsors and support and/or free products to help them out. 👍👏

Find & use, (wash / bathe / shower) w/ DR. BRONNER'S PURE PEPPERMINT CASTILE SOAP! A lil'bit goes along way & helps keep the bugs away... & you'll love it. LOL! MINKE's comin' into her own now. I'm with you guys in spirit as I'm learning as you go; for when I find my (project) cat. Hopefully a vintage 12m CATALAC!!!! Good work kids!

[@shadowofpain8144]

All sailing channels are about the same things, but not all channels are the same. Sometimes I just like the host of the channels better, As in this channels case. Some think every boring section needs to be filled with music, I just hit fast forward as the remote is in my hand. I am to old to take on a refit so watching every little thing on others teaches me what to look for and avoid. So let viewer decide what is or is not boring just hit record on your camera. Every viewer is watching for a different reason be it learn or entertainment. I enjoy this more than say la vagabond. You deserve much more views.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Here's a tip for you bud. When you finish painting anything its always good to remove the tape immediately before it cures. Also choke up on the hammer when using it, its not good on your joints to use it that way. If it do that for years to come your joints will suffer tremendously for it. Plus when you choke up on the handle and use the hammer correctly it will get much better results. That's great Victor has come alongside to help you's out. BTW Your being smart to restore that skeg correctly.

I am amazed at how much classier the boat looks without those two hideous blue stripes. Glad to see you conscripted some help, and glad you are properly fixing your skeg and rudders. Good choice!

[@ukandrew]

Well done with the windows. Project manager Nadiyana. A big step forward. Keep your head up Mark, you seem a little down. It often feels like your getting nowhere fast, in real time, but have a look at the last few videos and you can see you are moving in the right direction. A good list that you can tick off helps with the feeling of progress in real time. I think your being very hard on yourself. Just think, half the people you went to school with are sat at home watching tv while you are out there living and building a boat and a channel. Your doing alright. Like I said, keep your head up Mark and soon you’ll be looking back at the boatyard and looking forward to the ocean and your next adventure. Great job both of you and thank you for sharing your life.

[@chaswarren7239]

So glad you took this on, great old lady & will be an awesome home. She is teaching you many lessons - knowledge is power. Nadianna - your window work is awesome ! That stainless kedge is a good kedge / lunch hook. Once you have taken that diesel tank out, you won't need to worry about bow weight, so hang on to the chain in your bow lockers. Boats actually anchor to their chain dragging along the bottom, the hook at the end keeps it all in line, chain doesn't fray on rock either, you need a shorter scope with chain - handy in a tight spot. Need I go on? If you are still worried about bow weight, maybe build a chain locker where the diesel tank is & mount a windlass above that ?

[@jakejaekels7991]

Not sure if you realize, just a reminder if you didn’t think of it, Bilge thru hull’s out the side of hull, must have check valves. When healing water can come into hull filling bilge with sea water.boats have come close to sinking because of no check valves. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@gfimadcat]

Check valves also restrict flow from the bilge pumps, best option is to have a vented loop in the hose above the water line so it can't back-siphon. Unless there's no room to make a vented loop, in that case yes, check valve :D

[@Neptuneboy1959]

@@gfimadcat agrees, loop is far preferable, , best practice, and check valve is a potential liability, if it gets stuck too. Anyway ... it's a cat ... so, doesn't roll significantly, and, through-hull on inboard hull side mitigates the risk, towards centre line, sees little added immersion
