I will get you the information.

Yep. Tell me about it. Not like the previous year where we were out on it all the time.

Let's see what the owner decides to do with it first.....the issue with taking these boats out of the water is that if left too long, the timber dries out.

I will let you know once I know. It would need so much work though. Although having said that, it is a beautifully elegant boat.

It is lovely, wait until you see the decals with the name!

Probably a safe decision, unless you are mega flexible and can fold your self in half before doing your business.!

The fit out inside has now started and hopefully should come along at pace. Keep watching and thank your the support.

It is a great boat, it really is, but just be really clear about what you will use it for and with who!

Next to it, possibly.

thank you for watching them. There a few with another episode to be filmed on it. But the boat is made of ferocrete. Keep watching and let me know what you think.

Hi Frank, hopefully will try and get some filming done this weekend. I can tell you the Cat looks completely different outside now - was working on it last weekend. I also popped over to the yacht, and that looks amazing, but didn't have my GoPro with me for either. Stay tuned.

Hi sir sorry for being late commenting , but better late than never . My personal view is your boat is ideal for a couple , and no more . Also at this size you are basically buying a floating small caravan , which again small caravans are ideal for two people who don’t have any issues regarding privacy . I would have thought you should get at least what you paid for it , because of the work you have done . And it will have a niche appeal , which might be more than you think . Especially if (no offence meant ), it was to go to a more accessible marina . Us old folks are not as nimble as we used to be , walking long distances to get to a boat are often a challenge . More so than the access to the onboard loo . Best wishes and kind regards , and hope you find your new treasure . 👍

Looking at the brokerage sales prices, I think I may nudge a bit more than I paid for it, but my boat is pretty much next to the car park (if you look back at some of my early videos you'll see how far I had to walk to get to it). I think I'll have my boat for at least another year though.

Hi Matt, I personally have never worked out the fuel consumption, but I can honestly say, that I have never feel my wallet pinched by the fuel costs. On the ideal cruising speed, it depends on the conditions. If it is a moderate swell, 15 knots is great, but on a flat sea, 25 knots is perfect.

@@TheBoatVirgin thanks. How does it handle a bit of chop? I wouldn’t be going out in very rough seas, but live near Plymouth, where we do usually have some chop once out. Does the hull bang much? I have a two year old and just trying to suss whether I’d be ok cruising at ~23kts, or wind up going much slower to have comfort when there is a bit of wind swell.

@@mattgough6344 when there is a fair bit of chop, it can slap a bit, but bringing it back to displacement speeds is OK, but because the hull is pretty much flat, it rolls a lot. So intend to just about get it on the plane and then is it OK. With a 2 year, when it is flat to a small swell you will be fine.

thank you for subscribing.

I don't know but I can find out for you. Leave it with me.

He is an excellent boat builder. He has done work on my boat too and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Me neither. Thanks for watching.

Well it is currently insured I believed by 2 companies, but the owner has confirmed that the list of insurers is small but he has found one that will continue to cover during both the build process and also when completed.

The boats name has temporarily escaped me, but I shall confirm

Thank you. I think you're probably right. Will try that when I get time to re-attempt it.

Yep. But at the end of the day, it is still just a hobby and I am messing about at it.

I'd never seen one before this build by a friend, and the state of the hull from the photos, you can see how rough it was. In the latest video you can see how much work has gone into making the finish so much better. I can tell you the hull has also now had its first layer of colour and it looks brilliant.

I popped over there today and the first coat of paint is on the hull. Go to my channel video shorts for s sneak peak!

@@TheBoatVirgin where are you southwest?

@@garyhorton9280 South East

Go check out my video shorts on the channel to see the first layer of paint on the hull, it looks very impressive.

Absolutely. If only this bank holiday weather in the UK would sort itself out.

The radio was my brother-in-law's. It isn't an issue for me, I was there to film his boat and he stopped working so I could film his project. It is his workspace and not mine, I was a guest there for a few minutes.The next video will have even more updates as I was there over this weekend and the progress is really ramping up.

Wait until the next update. I was there over the weekend doing a small job, and the process is motoring away (excuse the punn!)

My brother-in-law is very good at this stuff.

❤❤❤❤

Thank you very much.

Hopefully next week. Like and share wide as this build starts to get onto the home straight.

Can't have a holiday without a boat trip!

Thank you for watching the video.

Thanks for the watching. The holiday stuff is beyond our control so you just have to roll with it and make the best of it that you can. We managed to get away and video of that will becoming soon.

It has been quite a few weeks with the naff weather. Thanks for watching.

excellent stuff.

it is an ideal I got from my brother who made some bottle top coasters for me several years ago! Thank you for watching the channel..

Thank you for the suggestions. I did countersink the bolt head, but I didn't think to paint them. I have since poured the resin and tape seems to have done the job and I will do an update on what it looks like. For the first 48 hours after pouring it looked great, but there are a few issues with it which you will see in the next video. Thank you for supporting the channel and watching the videos.

@@TheBoatVirgin hi sir glad all’s well , as for doing the project in the first place I take my hat off to you . Having watched numerous resin pores on UA-cam and seeing how things can go disastrously wrong , I don’t think you should worry too much about your results . As an amateur artist I’ve often considered applying this method to my work , but have always been somewhat hesitant in case two or three months work is wasted . But I’m probably by now, boring you to tears already . 😂 kind regards as always 👍

@@1x3dil always enjoy the comments. let me know what you think of the next video.

Yes, She is, and I will certainly speak to the owner and see if I can get some more video

I agree, it is stunning. But the owner Mark, is not only an ace at sailing it, he is a master of running with the motor and it is just as effortless and beautiful under power. Take the plunge, you won't regret it.

I've no idea what that means, so I'll just say 'YES'

My friend Mark who owns the boat has pumped a fair bit of money into it, but it is a labour of love. You just need that one perfect day to make it all worthwhile, which those of us fortunate to have boats, know all too well.

absolutely, not managed to use my own boat much so far this year.

the whole boat is looking amazing from what it was.

I think like all things in life, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One needs to also bear in mind that this boat will be sitting in mud for 18 hours a day, and when it is being used, it will be used for fishing. I think it is a great boat and now it it back in the water, it really looks purposeful.

I guess it depends on the additional funds available and what you want to do with it. The owner has updated the interior from what was originally there and now the next priority is new engines... I also know it has been recently surveyed for insurance purposes and the value has been massively hiked by the surveyor! Looks like secondhand brokerage values are still increasing.

It is coming along very nicely...I just need to get more video of it.

agree, i understand its not easy to even get insurance on one

Thank you for letting me film it.
