Aboard Lady Hawk
United States
Приєднався 23 жов 2022
We have found ourselves in the middle of a BIG project. More project than we originally intended to take on... actually. So we wanted to document the transformation Lady Hawk, a 34' CHB Trawler, will go through on her journey back to the water. She's been on land for nearly 2 decades waiting to be brought back to life. It's time for the next generation (Whitney & Cameron) to take this on, and get this project moving forward! We want to explore our backyard, the Salish Sea (aka Pacific Northwest), show our young kids what life is like on the water. There are so many adventures to be had, and honestly we can't wait!! But FIRST... BOAT WORK!
SPLASH DAY! 2 years of work. 18 years of waiting. | REFIT [Ep 28]
The 2 year project comes to a close... Lady Hawk sees the water for the first time in 18 years. This video shows the whole process of moving a large boat. Such a stressful, yet rewarding day!
We are refitting (or maybe rebuilding... at this point) a 1975 CHB Tri-cabin Trawler boat! It's in a lot worse shape than we ever imagined, but we are gaining on the project list. We want this boat to see the water again and be loved by this family. One thing at a time, one day at a time, we inch closer and closer! Follow our journey!

Just finished binge watching on 7/16/2024. Hope everyone is doing well and hope you provide an update on your boat. All the best!
If you guys get this message, did you have some sort of indistrial/fiberglass shop prior to starting this endeavor? I can't help but marvel at the tent. Did you acquire that just for this project, too? Still binge watching. 7/16/24
So the tent was purchased at auction as a paint booth for the tanks that Whit’s dad paints. Covering the boat was a really nice bonus.
@@aboardladyhawk Thank you for the reply.
It looks a little bit like the SS Minnow. I just subscribed. Good luck on the the restoration.❤
Thanks for the sub! We are doing great and I think the main points of the refit are behind us!
I like your boat
You need to leave the mattress very loose and NOT touching the rear edge or it will sweat up against the walling, I know I did it myself lol 😂
Yes we are going to be cutting it down a bit more. It’s a little too thick also.
Hi there, I have the identical boat to you here in the UK and am finding it incredibly hard to find the rubber window seals for the brass windows as all mine need replacing , could you p,ease p,ease send me the details where I can send for the complete set
So I ended up just getting some 5/16 neoprene adhesive backed rubber. Then rebedded the glass with black sika flex 295uv.
what an amazing job - I saw the first one and thought two years - no way!. But you did it - really a huge job and a lovely boat. I hope you are enjoying her with your family
We are for sure enjoying the boat and the summer in the PNW is just getting underway.
@@aboardladyhawkHello from Texas. I noticed it's been several months since you posted your last video. Do you plan on doing any more videos relating to your boat? I just found your channel. I'll probably be binge watching today. Thanks.
Have at it, mom's tired of sanding I've just binge watched all previous videos (it's a 4 day holiday weekend here in Scotland) its great to see the kids help out but that made me laugh too much. Strangely this video appears in the playlist after your dad painted the boat and what a fantastic job he made of the old lady! No lipstick on a pig here, this is a well dressed lady with all the trimmings to go with her good looks.
Thanks we are really happy with the finish.
Anyone can buy and own a lower maintenance plastic fantastic white boat . Try not to fall into “the low maintenance trap “ keep the value of the boat financially and aesthetically by not painting over all of the teak . You will regret it.
It looks pretty good didn’t see any rot , don’t know about the glass though
Crazy is right!! What a transformation! I just discovered you guys a few days ago and have been binging. Al 34 CHB is in my future and watching you change this boat is just what I needed to see! Great job! Question: What is the brand of paint that you used for the exterior?
That is awesome! I’ll have to double check my notes but it’s a PPG product.
I mean, they're done, kinda. There comes a point where you decide, you're better off leaving whats on it on it until it fails because the cost isn't worth getting it done now since what's on there is currently working "well enough".
How’s the boat going ?
It’s cold and rainy round here but we snuck a few trips in near the end of October. Had a few days of 70’s mid week so cast of and had an awesome time.
@@aboardladyhawk can’t wait to see some follow updates!! :) hello from sunny Sydney Australia
Hey, ya'll, have you been using the boat? Would like to know all your hard work has paid off.
We have stayed on mooring a few times over night and done some shakedown day cruises. Trying to learn all the systems. Practicing our skills at the dock and on the water. Loving it so far and not completely overwhelmed with new issues so win win.
Hi I have the same boat how did you get your holding tank out it look like a bear of a job
It was a bear of a job. The trick to squeezing it out of there was trimming back the forward bulkhead. Flush with the bottom of the floor that gave me an additional 2 inches or so for making the corner when trying to lift it out. Pulled it toward the engine and sucked it in as I squeezed it up toward the engine compartment hatch. Not a super fun task ha
Thank you so much for this series! I just acquired a 36' trawler in need of a good bit of love and got some really good ideas from you two. Hope y'all enjoy her after all that hard work.
Thanks for following along. We have a lot of cool trips planned for this spring and summer. Slowly chipping away at a few projects to prepare for new adventures.
Total success, if you ask me. Just finished binge watching these videos in the last several days enjoyed it very much! You both did a great job on restoration of LadyHawk she's looks better than when she was first built by the looks of things. Congrats.
Looks like a new Boat. well done Cameron and Whitney. Congrats.
Thanks for the kind words!
I haven't used an old pressure pot for years I use to spray heavy equipment as well. You can tell your dad experienced with that spray gun, he does it with ease. That's what happens when you spray paint for years on end. Boat looking good.
Yeah he’s a wizard. Lol
Well, Cameron I must admit your wife makes me laugh, especially, when she's attempting to enhance her skills at plumbing.
Haha yeah she’s the best.
Been binge watching your videos all afternoon, boat definitely doesn't look like a dark Dungeon anymore that's for sure, sure has come a long long way. Looks fantastic!
Thanks for the watch, glad you’re enjoying it.
" So I found a problem she says" " I wonder what Cameron think's " with a huge smile on her face. Whitney, I couldn't help it, that statement along with that smile cracked me right up! don't mean to laugh at your expense there Cameron but I must admit that was funny!
lol yeah it got me too.
Boats looking great. coming along really good.
Thanks 👍
Your little boy is such a animated little fella. cute...
Just found your channel. I'm in to watching this refit. looks interesting!
Man I felt this build! You guys did a great job! Welcome back to the sea!
Thanks for watching along. We are going to start posting a bit more of the smaller projects we’ve been tackling.
Your fake battery bank is a stash. It's for hiding valuables or smuggling. Someone did a nice job building it. It might even be original to the boat from the shipyard.
Thanks for the videos, iam getting ready to pull my port windows in my forward berth, do you remember the approximate thickness of the core in the wall around the port window in the forward berth
I discovered your channel some days ago, thanks to the unpredictable algorithm of UA-cam. I watched all the videos from the beginning and I just wanted to say congratulations for this great boat restoration. That was an amazing adventure, wasn't it? Now a new chapter is ahead of you. Less sanding, more fun to come! I wish you have some great navigation days before the winter comes. Enjoy your beautiful classic boat.
Thank you
Congrats! Looking forward to the next video 👍👍👍
No! The work on any boat 🚢 is not really done. But when she is on the water and you are out on a flat sea 🌊 ,at Sunrise 🌅 or Sunset 🌇 ,Nothing else matters! Thank You so much for taking us along on this very special journey. I always love splash day! So until next time ⏲️, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻
First time watching. SHE LOOKS REAL GOOD!
Outstanding Performance congrats on a job well done.
🤙🙏💪
Good job!! The adventure begins in a newer chapter of your lives😊
Congrats on splashing the boat! Such a cool story
What a great video! Congratulations!!!
Thanks Tyler! Come for a cruise soon ya?
Bravo Zulu Job well done
Congratulations and enjoy😂 . Looks like a whole lot of fun and adventure. When I launched my boat there were three jobs I didn't finish sold it 15 years later still not finished. Love your video's and looking forward to your adventures.
Haha yes I bet there are those cling on projects that won’t be finished in any amount of time.
WAY TO GO ! No the work never ends on a boat it just easier to maintain with a schedule ( oil change , fuel polishing , paint and stain areas greasing and washing ) but well worth it ! Congratulations SKOL !
This has been so satisfying to watch and to know that Ladyhawk is back in the water. So thrilled! That wood looks so amazing in the day light. You guys should be very proud for what you have accomplished. She looks great afloat! Looking forward to more videos 👍
Congratulations to you. I know we do not know each other. But we live sharing your adventure together. I literally had tears welling in my eyes seeing your accomplishment when she was floating.
So touching, thank you! Still brings tears to our eyes too!
Well done !!
Congratulations, the whole series was awesome, great job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for all your helpful tips along the way!
CONGRATULATIONS! ... MV REEL KNOTTY will be keeping an eye out for ya.
Sounds good!
Congrats!
Thank you!
great job beautifly done. ENJOY!!!
Gratulere Nydelig Båt😊
