Episode 2 just released. We've had some amazing times and covered lots of ground already. Hope you like it! Yvette and Darcy --> ua-cam.com/video/pwWn2-MeaQw/v-deo.html
I hope that you had your rigging checked . It's alway great to have your madt in vertical position.
I'm anxious to watch your videos . The BC coast is beautiful but not covered by many UA-camrs. Take care !
Brilliant work well done
We have owned 2 Proust including a built to our specs Quasar. You are going to love sailing this boat. We made 6 Atlantic crossings, raised 2 children and called the boat home for almost 20 years. If I were a year under 75 and my wife was still aging, we would still be at sea on a Prout built boat. This lady will still be crossing oceans after every modern charter catamaran has been sent to the land fill.
We love this boat too! We are very happy to hear you made 6 Atlantic crossings on a Prout and happy to bring back fond memories for you. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Nice video!
When I saw how long it was I fully expected to fast forward through it but watched every second!
Amazing amount of work and whats even more amazing is you both stayed happy and focusded throughout.... Brilliant!
I have subscribed as Id like to see where you go with this. I have a good feeling from you two 😊
Great work and good luck with the future!
Wow that's great to hear. We are both pretty good at keeping our eye on the prize, there was definitely some tough times but whoever is feeling down gets picked up by the other person. Glad to be out on the water now though! :)
WOW, great job. Just as an aside, my father and mother used to build catamarans on commission. Their retirement plan was to sail the world in one they built for themselves, unfortunately that didn’t happen.
Love your videos. Just getting around to watching this one. You caught me, hook line and sinker, with the castaway video.😽
Cool that your mom and dad built boats, sorry they didn't get to live there dream. We have heard some other stories like that and that's why we just left before the boat was done, we didn't want to get stuck on the dock. the videos that you may be watching next are some of our favorites, Alaska was just amazing!
In other news Coco is doing really well and eat lots, still a ways to go but she will get there :-)
Stumbled across your channel today. Amazing retrofit. Well done!
Thanks heaps :-)
our Alaska videos were some of our favorite, just after we left the dock in Vancouver,
We release videos every Friday in real time, so if you see it in a video we just did it.
That means that any comments on what we can do better/different are very useful :-)
We hope you will enjoy some of our other videos :-)
This gave me Better Homes and Gardens vibes. Love it.😂❤
Thanks heaps 😂 Hope you like the rest of the videos too 😊
Utube has just introduced me to your vlog l liked it so much so lve now subscribed. I had a table once just like yours the plane plywood didn't suit me so drew a map of Middle Earth from Lord of the Rings and then varnished it later l was commissioned to reproduce a further 25 of them and still counting 😎😎😎😎
That's so cool! We were debating trying to put a map on it, but then we decided neither of us had any drawing skills. One night I used permanent marker and just made a big jobs list on it. When we put fibreglass resin on it to protect the wood, the permanent marker ran a little so it's a bit hard to read now. We only waited overnight before putting the resin on. How did you draw the map and not have it run when you sealed it? Thanks very much for the subscription, glad you like the videos so far :)
Wow I enjoyed this! It’s amazing to see Darcy smiling throughout all those challenging projects. Looking forward to seeing your adventures! 💙👩🏼🤝👨🏾
Thanks Marie! Sometimes you just have to smile, grit your teeth and get it done :D
Hi...just watched your first episode.....is that the boat the VRC Race Committe used??? It looks familiar from from Sunday racing in English Bay. Congrats on such a big step, we are excited to see where your travels take you!
Yes we volunteered Supernova for race committee during the refit, it was a bit of a mess but all the racers appreciated how visible it was for a race committee boat :D Thanks, definitely a big step to finally leave the dock.
Hi Had to come back to Ep1 when watching ep3 wondering why you needed a visa for Alaska?. Thought you were both Canadian. Watched all 3 eps, enjoying them. Happy sailing. Hervey Bay Queensland
Maybe I need to put an Aussie flag somewhere on this boat, or maybe in the video descriptions beside our names :D So happy you liked all the videos. You should enjoy the upcoming video too :)
Loved your first video. Very inspirational. What is the water temperature for spearfishing up there? We are Spearo sailors from NZ./Aus
Thank you :) That's awesome. Darcy loved spear fishing, and I've just started. We did some recently (in our video we just released today). Desolation Sound waters can get up to 21c (74f), around Ketchikan in Alaska (where we just left) the temps are around 11c (53f) at the moment. Glad you liked the first video, hope you like the rest :)
....love ya both ! ;).....reminds me to when i was young ! ;)).....keep goin` !!!!
Thanks for the kind words, hope you like the other videos.. we will keep going for a very long time :) But only because you asked nicely :D
Guys,so so well done.Keep it up, will be following you..Jeff South Africa
So cool this video has reached South Africa! Hope you like the rest of the videos that are out. We are currently living this Friday's video and we think it's going to be a really good one. :)
Wow, she's quite handy... does boat work, fishing, and can cook. What a girl... all rounder. You should try the lottery Darcy😅
Yeh I keep telling him that 😊😂
Really enjoyed the honest and down to earth adventure.
Thanks for the feedback😁
❤ love watching you guys...can't wait till you come to florida....😂
Should be there on the sailboat around 6-7 months 😊
You are definitely right to go for the larger table, you could always slice it in half and hinge it for when you need the extra space to move around the cabin..
The larger table has been amazing so far, that's a potential idea about the hinge though 😊
“You know your sinks fancy when it comes in a bag.” Words of wisdom.
Darcy's full of them sometimes 🙄😂
Looking forward to your adventures , Just remember " There are Old sailors and Bold sailors but never Old Bold sailors" Cheers and Fair Winds, Mick Geelong Australia.
We really could have used that advice a couple of days ago... You might not want to watch the video we just released... We will take that advice from now on! 🙂
Depending on the inside width, centre the bed on the port or starbord side. Hopefully there will be enough room at the footing of the bed and your cupboards to get through. Makes it easier to make the bed and when you clean up. Your shelf you fitted leans to the front. Good luck. Fone to many yachts in my time..
Thanks for the advice, there is enough room to get through. We still have to make the bench for the other side and when the table drops down there should still be enough room even with the bench there. You have a very keen eye :)
Nice work! I'll see you down in Mexico or Panama, or... . I looked very long and hard at Prouts. They are great boats.... just watch the windows for leaking , much like many boats.
Thanks, when will you be in Mexico or Panama or ... :D There was a whole saga with the windows that is still too fresh to think about lol But they are mostly good now. What kind of boat did you end up getting?
@@sailing.supernova I sailed down from San Diego November of 2021 and I just keep going like the energizer bunny down here. Great place to spend a couple seasons. I will be heading south to Chiapas and then Central America this spring which would be my third season here in Mexico, it is absolutely captivating and beautiful here. Right now just hoping and praying that everybody along the Pacific side of Baja and all the cruisers in and around the Sea of Cortez and all our boats come through hurricane Hillary unscathed. One Prout that I looked at had had its windows replaced supposedly professionally and they still leaked. I'm sure you found the Prout owners forum. I ended up buying a Pacific Seacraft 37.
@@tvonzweck It looks like almost everyone made it out ok. We did hear of a couple boats that didn't make it. Pacific Seacrafts are great boats, you must love it! Your trip sounds awesome, keep it going :D
Just found your channel tonight and gave a 👍 and subscribed !
You guys have some Mad Skills and I love the Fuchsia Pink !
✌️💙🎵 from St Louis Missouri USA
BTW there is a nother SV Supernova that was buddy boating with Bobby White and the Sailing Doodles Crew also a Cat !
Glad you like it, thanks for the sub! We love the colour too :D Yeh we just saw that after we released our first video because it came up when we searched for ourselves. We named the boat back in 2020 when we bought it because we love astronomy and the make of the boat is a Prout Quasar (Quasars are one of the brightest things in the universe, as are Supernovas!). There was an interesting situation with Transport Canada when naming the boat, maybe we will tell that story some time.
So much work! Great job - looks amazing! Hope you have lots of fun. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.
:) We are having a lot of fun so far.
Hey Guys, howzitgoin, we really enjoyed your video, so much fun rebuilding a boat. Just a little question, did you read the ventilation requirements on the fridge instructions before you installed it ??? I only ask because we have the same brand but individual fridge and freezer, and it said the air flow requirements was 60cm x 10cm under and around the back of the units?? The only thing worse than not have a fridge is having one that cost a small fortune but doesn't work due to lack of heat removal. cheers Rustie.
Thanks for the advice! Yeh we just crawled behind there and had a look, and we think we're ok. There's more space behind the fridge than it looks because there used to be a food storage cupboard in the wall right behind where we put the fridge. And one side is completely open. We will keep a close eye on it now though. Did you buy your fridge for a boat?
Yes we are building a 38 foot Grainger catamaran which is a massive job and seems to take forever. Cheers Rustie.
@@rustie4242 Wow that's impressive! Keep it up, it'll all be worth it that's for sure :D
Man that old depth gauge and radar are so nostalgic! Don’t know if you already sent them to electronics recycling but would be awesome to have!!
Where were you months ago when no one wanted them. We put up an ad and everything.. it was super cool
Massive amount of work done there, well done! Positive vibes to you both.
Thanks very much! (huge fans of you!) :)
Happened upon you because I love critters and Coco showed up. Subbed and now binge watching your amazing adventures while packing up to start my own new journey. Y'all are delightful and thank you for the life you are giving precious Coco. Her eyes!!!
And that freckled tummy!!!
So cool! what adventure are you about to start :-)
I know its so cute isn't it haha
Great job so far! I’m in love with your boat and the improvements you’ve made o far. Keep it up!!!!
Wow that's a huge compliment, we will be mixing boat jobs in with cruising for most of our videos. We have 3 others out right now, check them out if you have time :)
Just found your channel, really like it!
Glad you like it. Just released a new video today, give it a watch if you have time :D
You two have really saved that old soul of a boat. I'm a sucker for the older designs like yours and when transformed are gorgeous. Great job, you should be proud of yourselves. Happy sailing.
Thank you for the kind words, we love the old boats too and the beautiful design :)
Very nice video and a cool boat - best wishes from Southern Bavaria.
So cool that you're watching from half way around the world. Thinking about crossing the Atlantic in May. Hope you like the video coming out tomorrow ☺
Can't wait to see more videos! I love that your going to post them in real time! Truly inspiring!
Thanks! A new video is coming tomorrow :)
welcome to UA-cam,,
just found your channel,, and let's watch it grow
current at 1.5k subs
GREAT JOB !!!
This has been so crazy, we didn't think so many new people would be interested in our adventures. Sharing them with everyone is going to be so much fun, plus we get motivation and help from all the comments including yours, so thank you :D
Hi, What is it with us Aussie girls & Canadian guys, & his cool with pink. Up there for ski fields?
To late for these suggestions, however;
That anchor looks to small for that size boat.
Hard solar panels are much better producers per sq" vs flex, have them as bimini, less weight vs bimini + panels, which stay cooler = more efficient, with unrestricted ventilation under them, same height framing extended for davits.
Cut table, add piano hinge.
Rubberised paint on outer surface of kitchen sink makes them less noisy, thicker the better. Also acts as a insulator.
More info on that battery (elec setup, green inverter, etc) would be good, looks like a forklift one?
If you have to do thru-hulls down the track, rural poly fittings (all plumbing), are strong, don't corrode, block as easy, non-sacrificial.
No we actually met in Australia 😊 The anchor is a 33kgs, we followed the anchoring guide from Rocna. We got semi-flexible panels which are light weight, they really aren't that flexible, they have aluminium underneath them. We haven't figured out what we want for the permanent table, just a piece of plywood at the moment although it might stay for a while given the never ending jobs. Piano hinge could be a good idea. I think the sink came with a rubberised coat on the outside but will check in to getting more. We haven't fully set up our electrical system yet but the batteries are a one off size and 24 volts, when we get it all finalised we will make a video. We replaced all the thru-hulls with poly fittings when we had the boat out of the water, so glad to hear that's what you would suggest. Thanks for all the tips :)
[ 49:55 ] Darcy's P95 respirator isn't sufficient for fiberglass resin fumes; he should have used 3M 2097 filters, like Yvette, instead.
Thanks for looking out, Darcy has a different brand of mask but we did check the paperwork before using it and it was the correct filter. The brand of mask Darcy was using has a dust filter before the proper filter beneath it to extend the usefulness of the more expensive filters, so it does look like an improper filter, but it is not. We appreciate you taking the time to be concerned about our safety and look forward to any future advice you may have. Hope you like the rest of the videos as well :)
👁️👁️…Just came across your channel…Love these sailboat restorations. Do you know what they say a couple can make it through that they can make it for anything…. You guys are doing what a lot of people are afraid to do… I’ll be following Tommy Saint Pete Beach Florida. Oh, one thing who picked the color????🤣🤣.
Would you believe me if I told you Darcy picked the colour?! Believe it or not, the original owners picked a cream colour instead of white (because the sun wouldn't reflect off it as much) and we thought it looked sweet with pink. Florida must be amazing, look for us in early to mid 2024. We are easy to spot 🤣
@@sailing.supernova …Darcy why that color, you no what , at the end of the video it looked good with the the sunlight hitting the color…Paint looked totally different from when it was cloudy out. I really like that you’re taking a different route than the norm meaning getting to see Alaska I’m on the West Coast of Florida, so when you come through at the stop for beer🍺🍺🍺
@@tommygunz8692 He thought the colour would suit the lines of the boat. It does look spectacular with sun on the broad side. We had to see Alaska. Didn't think we could head south without going north first. We are definitely up for a beer :D
What an adventure! Congrats to you both, you won't regret it.
No regrets so far :D
Amazing and you know I will be following your adventures for sure. Sail on and take care. ⛵️
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the next video 🤩
Firstly, I already like this channel. What kind of catamaran is she ? The aft solar panels should be rigid not just flexible ones mounted on a rigid frame because wind that gets under will really work at them. At some future point please upgrade. You are spot on with flexible solar on your deck area with airspace underneath because they are not as exposed. Consider one or two build your own 400-500 watt small wind turbine kits too. Bon voyage and best wishes from Montana !
Thanks for the well wishes. She's a Prout Quasar 50, built in 1986. The aft solar panels are 'semi-flexible' because we heard that the flexible ones could have problems. They have an aluminium backing so they don't flap in the wind. Do you know of any build your own wind turbine kits?
Hi guys, just come across your channel. Wow what a amazing job you are both doing on this catamaran. Can’t wait to see it finished and start sailing after all your hard work , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️
Glad you liked it, we have two more videos out now so check them out if you want to :) Nice to a fellow Aussie following along!
Hi from Brisbane ❤
@@nurseae Yehh more Aussies! :)
Loved the start of an incredible Adventure. You told the boat fehab story very, very well. Looking forward to you trips
Thanks so much for the kind words, hope you like the rest of the videos.. just released one today and have a total of 5 more up so far😊
Hi guys, if you pass by Lisbon, Portugal let me know. It will be a pleasure for me, to invite you for a city tour and a great meal. I’ll keep following you on your journey. Have a great tim🔝🔝🔝
Sounds like a great offer! We'd love to come to Portugal and how could we say no to a tour and a great meal :D
Loving this. this channel will be huge... Great to see the POV drone footage and all the skills. nice edit as well. you might benefit from radio microphones like the Rode or DJI ones especially in wind and echoey locations. cant wait do see what you get up to....
We did get a better mic after this, we started out with no filming and editing experience so this has been a lot to learn, I hope it shows that we are working hard to make better videos every time :-)
17 dollars for a rolling pin ridicules i bought mine 30 years ago it was £25 then mind you I'm a pro and its a pro pin dread to think what it would cost now
Don't get Darcy started on that haha, he still talks about it and how it was way to much haha
Awesome! We are up in the Fraser Valley having similar dreams.
You can definitely make those dreams come true. Check out our second episode that we just released. We've already had such a great time since casting off. If you have any questions let us know and we'd be very happy to answer them. Here's the link to episode 2, hope you enjoy :) ua-cam.com/video/pwWn2-MeaQw/v-deo.html
GREAT BUILD GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely loved this
Thanks very much, hope you enjoy the rest of the videos too!! :)
Hi, sadly your making issues , the solar vent , you've just put it down with sikaflex , you now never be able to get it up without damaging the area , the neoprene gasket provided would never leak , uv proof and totally weather proof. Your doing well .
Thanks for the advice. We were told that sikaflex wouldn't stick enough to damage the fibreglass. The person also said it would be better than screwing holes in the boat to mount the vents. Maybe we got some bad advice but I think they meant well. Let's hope we wont have to remove them for a while. Any other tips would be welcome as we are still learning and it's all pretty new to us. 😊
25:05 what a cool jacket!!
Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Thanks I got it at a Thrift Shop for $15 and I love it! It's not easy for an Aussie to stay warm in Canada :D
Trapped on a boat with an Aussie sheila -my nightmare. Trapped on a boat with a exotic dark chocolate, my wet dream!
Looks like Darcy has a fan lol
Measure once, cut one. Then measure again, because your first measurement wasn't correct, cut again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Tell wife you were only making small cuts to be safe, to ensure the tightest fit possible.
Have you met Darcy before? You two seem to think very alike! lol
Leak of the engine must be coming from the gasket rubber, it is rounded, it should be pull out and change them in a repair kit, you have to secure your old rubber which u removed from that part in order to get a sample for exact size and shape, oops sorry it was just a host good thing you've got extra one that would fit for temporary replacement
It's a good thing we had that spare hose :) There wasn't even a fuel shut off
Great first video. Came up to it more or less by incident but loved every minute of it. Great job done! Very curious to all of your sailing adventures. Keep up the spirit! Rgds.
Thanks heaps! We will definitely keep up the spirit :D Hope you keep enjoying the videos
If Darcy ain't nuts now he will be with all that pink around him ! It's been proven Pink will drive a Man crazy !
Who do you think picked the colour ;-)
What an amazing and interesting catamaran. Furling mainsail on a cat is pretty rare. You guys put in a huge amount of work! That is a great accomplishment, kudos to you both.
The furling mainsail is pretty rare especially on a 1986 cat. It's already saved our bacon once so we are happy to have it :) Still lots of work to go so thanks for the encouragement :)
G’day guys. Love the enthusiasm and your sense of adventure. Another Aussie - from Sydney whose just sailed for the first time on a cat in Whitsundays and we’re hooked. We plan to do some more sailing before buying a cat. Keen on the med. Subscribed and will be following. Good luck guys and safe travels.
That's so cool, it doesn't take much to get hooked on the sailing life does it?! Always great to have more Aussies on board :) We are keen on the Med too!
Loved the video. Love the colors. At 35 min, you need to get some ventilation behind that refrigerator. With more ventilation, it will pull less power and cool faster.
Glad you love the video and colours! Thanks for the advice, we are going to look at the specs for the fridge again. There is a lot more space behind the fridge than appears in the video because there was a cupboard behind the counter. Definitely keep the advice coming, as we probably make a lot of mistakes that we don't realise.
Ill second that - the fridge is a heat exchanger, pull heat out to cool the inside of the box and put the heat outside the box. Adding some slotted louvers for cool air to come in behind it and hot air to exit will make it run more efficiently and draw less electricity.
@@Poorehouse Thanks for the idea, we may also add a vent beside the compressor :)
Love your boat....And the color is great. 1 question: How much solar do you have aboard?
Right now it's a bit tricky to answer that question because not all of it is hooked up and we are having some less than stellar performance from some of it. We are hoping that it's just a bad solar charge controller. Once it's all hooked up and sorted, we'll let you know how much we end up with in total. With all that taken into consideration, we think we're getting around 1000 watts of production. Sorry for the non-answer, but we are very new at this. Happy you like the colour and hope you like the rest of the videos :)
The best 1st video I've seen on UA-cam! Looking forward to all your episodes...🎉
Wow that's a huge compliment, and a lot to live up to :) I hope we did it justice with our other videos :D
Bummer!!! I guess I'll just have to work without lights again!!!😢😂
😅
Just curious. If it's a team effort, why are all of the colors so feminine? Shouldn't a joint effort reflect both personalities?
haha You may not believe this but Darcy Picked the color, he was sure that pink was the only color that would look good with the cream gelcoat haha.
We are both really easy going so its really easy to work as a team, we are also very into exploring new things so most of the time we want to do the same things :-)
Glad you took a break afte doing the table. You were looking burned out bro. Sometimes you gotta just take some time off to rest. Looking great, lots of work for sure. :)
We had been up for like 36 hours at that point... we needed that break lol
As we used to say in the Royal Navy " The phantom knob twiddler strikes again".
how was I supposed to know you couldn't just press any buttons.... although looking back it does seem like a bad idea haha :-)
Is that Marina near Victoria BC. or on the east coast of Canada? Should have listened to the video later. I'm in New Westminster
It's in Vancouver so not far from where you are :)
I'm getting ready to do the same, still looking for the perfect boat, I'm in the UK so not as much choice and amazing american prices but getting there. I don't know if ill video it but I like watching others do. best of luck and I'm curious to see more
That's awesome, what timeframe are you looking at? You could always travel to buy a boat and set off from there. Or you can buy a boat right now that might not be perfect if you have a bit of time to fix it up before you want to head off. Everybody gets the same view out here, no matter what boat you have. Glad you liked the video, a new one will be out in 3-4 hours, just finished editing and uploading now. :)
@@sailing.supernova Hopfully by March I even got a remote job so I can do it from anywhere, still a few things to tidy up and I'm off too.
@@ianrusso8790 If you're anything like us, March will come around quick. Our advice is to start panicking now! Nah but that's sweet you've got a remote job. Are you going to sail in the UK first? Or are you thinking something like the Mediterranean?
@@sailing.supernova Ill stick arounf the UK and northern France at first and once I feel comfortable I want to go to the carribean and south america, all the way down to brazil. but that will take time,I need to get comfortable sailing first, haven't done it in 20 years! By the way great videos, I'm sure you will be successful at this.
@@ianrusso8790 That sounds like an amazing trip on the horizon. I'm sure the sailing will come back to you in no time :)
I appreciate that you showed how difficult DIY is.
Glad you like the videos :) We plan on having lots more DIY, as we have a lot more projects on the horizon
Props guys, I love what you’re doing. Love seeing the trials, errors, challenges and SUCCESSES!! But I must say, hearing you pronounce ‘router’ as ‘rooter’ almost killed me, I was mid sip with a hot cup o’ coffee.
Thanks heaps :D Lol... yeh he's never gonna live that down 😂
Great work! Look forward to your adventures.
Unscripted is good. Give it a shot😅
Yeh we definitely suck at anything scripted lol
The problem with all catamaran's is there bulkheads are glued in and they need to be fiber glassed in . Other wise you take the chance of the boat breaking apart while out at sea .
From what we can tell, ours are good but we will definitely keep an eye on it. The boat is from 1986 so we figure if it was a problem we would have seen it already.
A dream of mine! Hard working guys! Everything looks amazin! Enjoy!
Thanks a lot, still lots of work to go😅
Wow Supernova is a cracking yacht , love the new colour scheme ( alot better than the dull blue they came out of the factory with ) . Ive subbed and await to see your adventures unfold . Greetings from England ..... 2 miles from where Supernova was built in 1986 , Prout catamarans in Canvey island , Essex . Such a shame they went bust in the late 90's . Todays modern cats aint got nothing on these older sturdy well built cats . Enjoy her guys ❤
We love old school sailboats too. It's awesome that you're so close to where Supernova was made and stoked to have you along for the adventure :)
Hi what a great video and all that hard work you put in to bring Supernova up to date, do your travel plans include the UK?
My sister lives there, so it would be cool to drop by. We don't have set plans other then to keep moving and see as many countries as possibly.
You guys caught with the cataway (lol). Now I got to start at the beginning.
haha that's amazing, our Alaska videos are our favorite. Super happy you are enjoying the videos! This is our favorite one from Alaska, ua-cam.com/video/wD8FbOU853c/v-deo.html
So nice to watch other people work.
haha glad you liked it :-)
Diesel heaters are fantastic . They do make a huge amount of heat near the blower but they use so little fuel. As long as you consider the heat right near the diesel heater the things work great. Had one in my big rig and it was fantastic
Thanks for the tips, we thought about permanently removing it, but we are probably just going to install it in a different location. It's great to have a trucker along for the adventure, I'm sure you have some crazy stories from the road! :)
In an adjustable table what u need aside from flat wood is durable hinges and support bars and try to find some ideas in utube or Google depending on what design r how you want it to extend or to fold them 37:35
We may look at a table with hinges for outside, but the one inside we are probably going to leave just going up and down. At least for now. Support bars maybe in the near future though. :)
Doesn't that new under counter fridge have adjustable feet ?????
Unfortunately it does not. :(
Great to see you having a crack and looking forward to your travels.
We're winning so far, thanks for the support 😊
Respect, i realy love what you do ( im Mario From Algeria). love
Thanks heaps Mario, hope you like the rest of the videos :)
Any of you guys have carpentery skills before you started thi refit?
I didn't have any. I learned how to use power tools and build stuff on this boat with Darcy's help. Darcy had a bit of skills coming in to this that were all self taught except for the welding (which he had a teacher for in the past). We just worked slow and made sure to redo any work that could have been done better :)
Cool video and a cool boat ... pink???? SUBSCRIBED
Glad you like the video and the boat.. pink for the win! Thanks for the sub
How you didn’t go crazy I’ll never know with the refit but kudos to you both.
What's to say we didn't go crazy? 😂
You guys just force me to subscribe, amazing, wish you all the best
Thanks for the sub! We hope you enjoy the other videos as well.
Great video. Congrats to both of you. As for inches. He needs to change not you. LOL
He tries, but I also don't want him to make any more mistakes when he's measuring 😂 lol. Glad you liked the video
Good job you guys, my only negative is your color choice of the hull and dinette!
Not everyone's cup of tea :) What colour would you have picked?
Is there ventilation behind the fridge?. I live in alaska let me know if you need anything
Yes there is a good amount of space behind the fridge, a lot more than you can see in the video. Do you know where we can find bears? It is of the utmost importance that I see a bear! :D
U can use Cork or rubber There you can find small rubber rounded shoes for lifters for you frig
We have some hard plastic under there right now that seems to be doing the job but will keep our eyes open for the rubber shoes you're talking about, thanks! :)
Don't rush see everything there is to see before moving on you my only go around once.have fun be safe.
We agree but winter is approaching and with one Aussie on board getting to a warmer climate is a life or death matter lol We're definitely coming back to this area though :)
Good luck, nice to subscribe and go along with you. From down under
Nice to have a fellow Aussie on board! Aussie Aussie Aussie!!
I love it when people have the right idea about how to experience life, on to the next vid. Yeehah
Thanks heaps!

Great first vlog. See you in the Med. love from Alicante.
Not if we see you first :D
The fridge doesn’t have feet to adjust? I guess it was designed to be in a cabinet not on a floor.
It 100% doesn't have feet, we triple checked. It might be that our floor is at a bit of an angle
Get yourselves a roll of byutl tape its the best for sealing stuff and easily removed.
Check out our latest episode :) we used some then and now have two roles on board. You're right, that stuff is amazing!

acitone, toulene and laquire thinner release contact cement instantly so you can change it if it sticks
This would have been good to know 6 months ago. but at lest we know it now.
thanks for the tip :-)
I hope to find a girlfriend or wife one day that enjoys the water and sea a fraction as much as I do so I can do this
Keep looking and I'm sure you will :) Living on the sea is such an amazing way to live.
I hope y'all visit Trinidad and Tobago on your journey
It's definitely on the list! :)
Have fun and good luck with your adventures! Enjoyed your first vid and congrats for your resuscitating an old classic.
Thanks very much, hope you like the rest of the videos too 😊
You need to change doctors! A patient should never have to beg to the doctor!
haha so true
Aaaarrhhhh !!!!!! Two years of rebuild weekly would have been amazing. Oh well guess I will just have to see how you get on moving forward.👍
We can't believe so many people are so interested in what we are doing. We will definitely have lots of boat work in most of our videos, because we still have a huge list left. :)
