Not only are the beams shorter etc on the stern but your skill levels and confidence in your abilities has also massively increased. I understand that you may feel a bit down when faced with that area... reminding you of the bow... but as an avid viewer, I am rubbing my hands with glee as you get back to what has made your channel so successful. Thank as always. I am really looking forward to seeing what that stern cabin will turn out like once you have both worked your magic on it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome, I love the fact you guys are shiprights, you used to be piece replacers … now ship rights !!!! I’m proud of your work. I’m a crippled US vet and have watched from day one. Thank you
Make sure you take time to recognise and appreciate how far you have come this year alone! Getting that deck on in the few warm months we got this year is a proper achievement
don't touch the spacer behind the packing gland until you are on the hard. if you don't get it done before the tide it will flood the boat faster than a throughhull fitting. too many boats sank because of the leak around the stuffing box.
You are getting there. It is amazing what you have done. Don’t feel down Gemma as you guys are getting faster at replacing all the rot. Soon get through it 👍
Ohh dear, my squaddie sense of humour kicked in at 27 minutes when you heard the birds in the back ground and Simon said it was not to be rained on and my mind was waiting for the kersplatt on his head / shoulders from above 😂😂😂😂
WelI thought aeroplanes were money pit until I started watching you 2 😄😄, nice blog keep your heads above the well I was going to say water, but it’s just mud 👍👍
I know this is posted after you do the work , but I think you need to extend the lower hull up to the top of the middle deck where it meets the floor. Instead of putting up plywood on the outside of the boat.
One large all fitted maxed out bathroom head. Add another his & her quick stop single head & hand wash basin someplace else. My vote is going big with Simon. And add another 1/2. We win Gemma.
Gemma you shouldn't feel down, you should feel positive. The fact you have started taking the back cabins apart means you have finished the first big phase, and now starting a new one. Meaning you are getting closer to your goal of getting Sarinda back to being sea worthy. To see how the front of Sarinda looks compared to when you started is a fantastic transformation. Personally my view is, two heads are better than one!!!
I had a catamaran in Spain for years and did day trips and I was making over £2000 a day so if you are going to do it get it to Spain and it's lovely over here 😎
Hi...Guys...!!! I'm a loyal subscriber and follower of your Herculean project, " WOOW "...I admire your grit and determination on this project..👍..!!! I'm a retired Tugboat engineer and in my younger years fished and worked in local shipyards on and about RUTHERFORDS ISLAND, Maine. All the Best " THE O'L COCK " 😁
I understand that tearing out the old parts of the aft cabin may seem like starting over, but keep reminding yourself how much you’ve accomplished to get to that point. You’ve made remarkable progress. If I recall correctly you estimated it would take 8 years to complete the project and you are right on track.
Bonjour comme d'habitude superbe vidéo. Quel travail respect. Le résultat est très bien. Je vous remercie pour vos vidéos et il me tarde de voir la prochaine. Bonne semaine amicalement René de Bordeaux France ❤
Wow! This video was amazing! Congratulations on finishing the forward deck. I know as you do, there is still a lot of work ahead, but you've come SO far from where you started. When I look at the quality of work....... amazing! This yacht is lucky to have the two of you bringing her back to life!
With all the rot that you are finding above the water line it's amazing that the top deck hasn't fallen in. Anyway, it's look great, keep up the good work.
Great progress! Don’t get down on returning to the rot removal, after all the proverbial elephant can only be eaten a bite at a time! Side decks are smaller and you’ll be done in no time at all. Cheers!
Love the progress! When you feel down, take a quick tour of what you've already accomplished. It's amazing!! And I'd trim the pointy corners off those shelves because I'd be bumping into them all the time!
Guys I felt your flattness at the end there. But looking at it from the other end of the tube, WOW, you've got a third of her sorted out. Job done. Astonishing! And yes, seeing the state those cabins are in seems shocking, a reminder how the bow end was, but then walk through to the bow - and you can see what it will be looking like all too soon. Question. Are you going to extend the frames and planking up from the original to replace the newer plywood above the old beam-shelf to the new deck/beam-shelf level? It looks like that (newer) plywood didn't keep its integrity like the old planking did? I realise it would be (a lot) more hard work, but would it increase the integrity of the structure going backward (as it were)? Or is that not really necessary? I'm sure you will have thought that all through. Bon chance.
You should go on a Viking river boat and check out the heads in the rooms. They are extremely efficiently layouts. The showers are frameless glass. Just contact them and ask if you can tour their boat for ideas and put it on your you tube. My husband and I would get a catermarane, which slept 12. Each person paid 1/2 the rental. We collected “kitty” money for fees, food, fuel, water, etc. per person, then paid back any left over. We always planed meals. We also had each couple sponsor a meal. They would bring specialty spices or ingredients that couldn’t be easily found, and they would be the head cooks that night. My husband would publish the iteniary so people would know approximately when and where we would be. We would just pick and island and sail around. We even planned meals out based on the locations. We tried for boat costs about the cost of a decent hotel room for a week. We tried for food around $100 a day, which included us going out to eat. We found eating breakfast onboard to be a real saver, and liked to do lunches out. I’m thinking of a hybrid between our private vacations and the one we did last year with Viking would be a good idea. You would need a split head between two cabins, and a general head. Single accommodations are also good, not everyone will come with a spouse. People who come ARE crew. It’s part of the fun, but obviously some crew do kitchen cleanup while others do the dingy runs for groceries and site seeing. They can even be part of some maintenance and painting. At first, just plan a week “ vacation” for you and Simon. Chose the waterway, pick the event (boat show, festival, whatever). Then chose the path, the places to dock, the time, etc. it’s really not that hard and is kind of exciting. You are showing off your country, and also discovering it for yourself, keep in mind airports as starting and ending points. Guests flying early or late may need help with locating friendly bread and breakfast accommodations. Estimating is hard, but it’s a learning experience. Don’t hire any part out until you do your own vacation sharing yourself. It’s the only real way too see all the issues with the different aspects of chartering. You can do a drinks and appetizer evening cruise at a boat show or celebratory fireworks event for x number of people and charge a fee that also donates some portion to a charity. That way, you van charge enough to cover all of your undiscovered costs without feeling badly that you may have overcharged. You will develop an idea of the annual maintenance and operating cost of the boat, and build in a percentage into your fees that goes into a life management fund for your boat so it never gets to the point it did in the past. Eventually, you will allow it to be chartered by people that pay a flat fee and get a captain and first mate, or even turn it over to a charter company that handles everything, like the charter companies in the Caribbean. So many options and ideas, but to begin with, you should think about taking it on holiday for a week, and inviting friends, supporters, etc to split the cost and join you. 12 people on a Cat was great. We also did a vacation with 4 sloops that each slept 6. For me, 24 people for a week, which were friends of friends of friends was too much even though we weren’t even on the same boat, .
Brilliant! I admire the way you cope with the difficult tasks, just roll your sleeves up and get on with it. Having the right attitude is a big part of it.
You are a wonderful couple with a wonderful serie. I realy enjoy how you are doing things. solving problems without having any expert knowledge about it.
Simon, May I suggest you check the bushes in the chop saw, that could be the reason it keeps stopping when you using it , IF they are low, You might be able to replace them. They will be at the end of the Motor. Great videos yet again guy's, Keep up the great work All the best
This channel is great! I can't believe you don't get more subscribers, thumbs up, and comments. I well know that not everyone can financially support all the incredible channels that are available. But we can all do the things that don't cost money and help out the channels. Those statistics are how they can accomplish these great videos. And in this case, save our history.
I think that if you could make a 3D computer model of the boat it would really help you plan its future layout and also help with measurements etc for piping, cabling and everything else - would be great if you could find someone with that capability to support your project
Just waiting for this shower to pull their fingers out and get some work done😂only joshing you's are THE best team on the tube consistently knocking portholes out of deckheads, gunwales out of transoms and smiling in the bilge😂
If you build a separate(from your shower) head in the front that guests can also use in a pinch/emergency and have a portable/chemical backup toilet in the engine room closet (incase the regular ones malfunctions) I would suggest Simons one big "bathroom" idea as it will feel nicer than 2 small rooms, claustrofobia is a bear for many to endure. For ruff seas I recommend one or two handles on the walls near the toilet seat, would also help older guests. Cheer up Gemma, your glass is already half full and is getting fuller with each passing day, even if you can´t see it in the back yet.
Hi Simon and Gemma, I have watched all 200 episodes over the last week, and I must say you two (And Robbo) are amazing keep up the fantastic work . Right back too episode 201 😊.
In the back end the original frames stopped at the beam shelf. The conversion then extended them. If possible it would be best if you could make your frames full length but I suspect this would require the cabin sides being removed.
Little trick with the hardener: spread the filler out in an even blob, mark the center with the knife, 50%, again, 25%, again, 12.5%, again, 6.25%, again, 3.125%. you'll need slightly less than the volume of the smallest part.
Forward head, separate 3/4 size tub with seat relatively small with sink and head. Keeps you from bouncing around in a sea. Aft head, separate stand up shower, one or two relatively small wash areas with sink and head.
Gemma, you should be really happy now that the 1st top coat is on the wheel house, it looks so much better. Clearing and cleaning out the old bathroom was a major task, don't forget your not in a position just to knock something down, it has to be thought out before you do anything. 👍
You could make a small room for a head & small sink , and put another head and shower small sink in the room next to it, we did something very similar in our house and it works really well. Regards Steve
If you will have six plus paying charters on board, you will definitely want two bathrooms. Really making progress now. So great to watch it all come together.
Good to paint the planks for protection. Aww talking about protection while cutting with that angle grinder your eye protection were located on the wrong spot of your head... Be safe looks fantastic!!
And when you get to the stern and done all the work, it back to the bows and started again suggestion, instead of using plywood again in the bathroom area, make up some fibre glass sheeting to use for panels
"A boat is a hole in the water where you throw your money". Realistically, I kept up with my maintenance soo I never really agreed with that statement. Though my boats were small lake bound bowriders.
IMHO, one full bathroom and one half bathroom with just a toilet and sink would be ideal. I can't imagine that you are going to have enough water for 6 people to each take long showers. Of course when all else fails... You will always have the poop deck! ;-) Looks good. Glad to see you start on a new area of teh boat.
At about 38;15 when Gemma was pulling wood from the wall it looked like it was charred underneath? Most strange! Also I too was thinking "I bet this is so dis heartening being back to rotten wood and muck and just after that Gemma said exactly that!!! Re bathrooms, How about a big room but fit seat belts to the loos!! You could fit two loo cubicles in the same room if you want to save space!! Lastly, Simon You could maybe start putting freeing oil on the bolts and nuts on the prop shaft for when you take it out?? Cheers Boyz N Girlz see you next week!!
Small head facing aft or forward. Separate shower. Showers are also great drying lockers when underway. Also, water and humidity suck real bad in a head. Cheers!
From experience I’d always prefer head and toilet separately. Especially when cruising. To be able to use them simultaneously is great when someone is on watch for example. Not only but also in case of (or after) an “emergency” a separate toilet is very comfortable for the whole crew. Especially when you have more than 2 people per head on board.
You know what they say: Two heads are better than one. duplication of something leaves you with redundancy which is always good. Question, on old pictures it looked like the boat had dark grey or black around the windows of the wheel house. If that is the case will you restore that feature or keep it cleaner with mono paint?
I know it’s a ways away but if you are thinking of charter in the future you need decent accommodation for paying guests and decent loos and showers are a must. Also you have a big boat so don’t scrimp on your personal space.
I was in the fire service for 30yrs and we were taught to always stand on the round above the sill and the step down and the same when descending, this prevents you from being able to push the ladder away from the building/boat. just saying😊
Yeah, I thought it was a bit depressing too! But this time we know it can be done. And we all know the process. And all the development of techniques is done. Change through hole fittings ✔. Frames ✔. Web Frames✔. Planks✔. Bilges and Soles✔. Beam Shelf✔. Knees✔. Beams✔. Deck✔. Simon is right! It will go faster this time. I used to worry if you guys could see it through. Not anymore! Love to both of you.
great vlog - keep up the good work - keep chipping away at the jobs (we do our our self fit out narrowboat Tatton) we think if you need to make her work for you and are considering paying guests on board then we would be reconfiguring the whole area and go with ensuite heads - good work
Wow OH&S would have a field day Invert the clamps you won’t get gutted on the way down. Tie rope on one rung below deck and tie other end to other side of boat with sand bag weight to prevent movement. So simple
Ok Gemma every time you feel bad about what you are working on just go up to the bow and remember how beautiful it looks and soon all of it will be the same 🥰😉👍
I’d be tempted to go for 2 heads one in the shower / bathroom, one compact one. If you’re going for a wet head you could get a toilet with a sink on top of the cistern for some space and water saving that way you can wash your hands in either head.

Really looking forward to the next 200 episodes - I learn so much on how to tackle the seemingly impossible.
id go for whatever makes you comfy but i think the smaller rooms makes sense in rough seas
So very impressed by your ethic. I guess that the answer to ’how do you eat an elephant?’ is: one mouthful at a time! 🇨🇦

You showed a beautiful picture of it with a red stripe. Are you going to try and replicate that style of deck balustrading et cetera
Simon,
May I suggest you check the bushes in the chop saw, that could be the reason it keeps stopping when you using it ,
IF they are low, You might be able to replace them.
They will be at the end of the Motor.
Great videos yet again guy's,
Keep up the great work
All the best

Thank you Brian 😘
Good to have the nice paint job when you are facing that massive job down below. Keep smiling, I love the channel
Nice separate shower and toilet. And a toilet with basin. Small but posh.
Just waiting for this shower to pull their fingers out and get some work done😂only joshing you's are THE best team on the tube consistently knocking portholes out of deckheads, gunwales out of transoms and smiling in the bilge😂
This chanel deserves a lot more subscribers...
If you build a separate(from your shower) head in the front that guests can also use in a pinch/emergency and have a portable/chemical backup toilet in the engine room closet (incase the regular ones malfunctions) I would suggest Simons one big "bathroom" idea as it will feel nicer than 2 small rooms, claustrofobia is a bear for many to endure.

Forward head, separate 3/4 size tub with seat relatively small with sink and head. Keeps you from bouncing around in a sea. Aft head, separate stand up shower, one or two relatively small wash areas with sink and head.
great vid on more work on the boat thanks for share on channel
Definitely two heads. We have one on our boat and a Boxti as a back up. Kids love the electric flush, so the rugrats use the boxti .. compostable 🎉
great progress welldone.
Gemma, you should be really happy now that the 1st top coat is on the wheel house, it looks so much better. Clearing and cleaning out the old bathroom was a major task, don't forget your not in a position just to knock something down, it has to be thought out before you do anything. 👍
U will get their I the end as boat restoration takes time and u both are doing a brilliant job keep up the good work x
You could make a small room for a head & small sink , and put another head and shower small sink in the room next to it, we did something very similar in our house and it works really well. Regards Steve
So in open ocean, a smaller head and shower is much safer. Always have redundancy if you can afford the space.
Go go!! Love and support fan Sweden 🇸🇪. 3-4 years now?? But.. Let’s rock.
If you will have six plus paying charters on board, you will definitely want two bathrooms. Really making progress now. So great to watch it all come together.
With body filler you need golfball to a pea ratio. A little bigger pea in winter. Always worked for me over the many years of bodywork. ATB
Good to paint the planks for protection. Aww talking about protection while cutting with that angle grinder your eye protection were located on the wrong spot of your head... Be safe looks fantastic!!
You guys always make me smile ! Cheers from across the pond !
Got very professional in this episode chaps,like an episode of Blue Peter,well presented,love from South Coast.
And when you get to the stern and done all the work, it back to the bows and started again
suggestion, instead of using plywood again in the bathroom area, make up some fibre glass sheeting to use for panels
"A boat is a hole in the water where you throw your money".
Realistically, I kept up with my maintenance soo I never really agreed with that statement.
Though my boats were small lake bound bowriders.
Your 1 very brave couple and your project will never end but that’s boating the best of good luck to you both 👍👍
IMHO, one full bathroom and one half bathroom with just a toilet and sink would be ideal. I can't imagine that you are going to have enough water for 6 people to each take long showers. Of course when all else fails... You will always have the poop deck! ;-) Looks good. Glad to see you start on a new area of teh boat.
Good old percussive maintenance on the chop saw 😂
At about 38;15 when Gemma was pulling wood from the wall it looked like it was charred underneath? Most strange! Also I too was thinking "I bet this is so dis heartening being back to rotten wood and muck and just after that Gemma said exactly that!!! Re bathrooms, How about a big room but fit seat belts to the loos!! You could fit two loo cubicles in the same room if you want to save space!! Lastly, Simon You could maybe start putting freeing oil on the bolts and nuts on the prop shaft for when you take it out?? Cheers Boyz N Girlz see you next week!!
Small head facing aft or forward. Separate shower. Showers are also great drying lockers when underway. Also, water and humidity suck real bad in a head. Cheers!
you have stabilizer wings. I would make it one big toilet room with a shower and a giant bathtub!
Id love a bath!
@@ShipHappensUK That's easy, just jump overboard. A mud bath at the moment, but think of those tropical seas.
From experience I’d always prefer head and toilet separately. Especially when cruising. To be able to use them simultaneously is great when someone is on watch for example. Not only but also in case of (or after) an “emergency” a separate toilet is very comfortable for the whole crew. Especially when you have more than 2 people per head on board.
You know what they say: Two heads are better than one.
duplication of something leaves you with redundancy which is always good.
Question, on old pictures it looked like the boat had dark grey or black around the windows of the wheel house. If that is the case will you restore that feature or keep it cleaner with mono paint?
What you're doing is awesome! But, I am curious how much faster it would go if the work was done in a ship yard not a tidal marsh. 😀
I know it’s a ways away but if you are thinking of charter in the future you need decent accommodation for paying guests and decent loos and showers are a must. Also you have a big boat so don’t scrimp on your personal space.
Hat's off to your work ... repairing a bonfire👍🏻👍🏻
I was in the fire service for 30yrs and we were taught to always stand on the round above the sill and the step down and the same when descending, this prevents you from being able to push the ladder away from the building/boat. just saying😊
@33:43 rough sea is no problem, just put handrails to strategic places. Hello from Estonia 🇪🇪
A 'day' head as near to the steering position as possible is always a good idea
Conundrum,? Is it still a port hole if its fitted to the starboard side? Lol
Another great vlog well done so far both of you . your a great team .
Don't forget about the roof over the wheelhouse. A job well done in some trying conditions!!!
Great video.Keep up the great work both.Loving the videos looking forward to the next video 👍 Thank for sharing
Don’t let it get you down ,you’re doing an amazing job on the old girl bless you
Yeah, I thought it was a bit depressing too! But this time we know it can be done. And we all know the process. And all the development of techniques is done. Change through hole fittings ✔. Frames ✔. Web Frames✔. Planks✔. Bilges and Soles✔. Beam Shelf✔. Knees✔. Beams✔. Deck✔. Simon is right! It will go faster this time. I used to worry if you guys could see it through. Not anymore! Love to both of you.
great vlog - keep up the good work - keep chipping away at the jobs (we do our our self fit out narrowboat Tatton) we think if you need to make her work for you and are considering paying guests on board then we would be reconfiguring the whole area and go with ensuite heads - good work
Every time you lay hold on one of those "structural pieces" and it just rips out in your hand I think, "She didn't know her own strength."
Wow OH&S would have a field day
Invert the clamps you won’t get gutted on the way down.
Tie rope on one rung below deck and tie other end to other side of boat with sand bag weight to prevent movement. So simple
When it comes to the head and washroom, you could do both ideas by having a detachable bulkhead, just like in the old wooden ships...just a thought
Ok Gemma every time you feel bad about what you are working on just go up to the bow and remember how beautiful it looks and soon all of it will be the same 🥰😉👍
Thanks!
I’d be tempted to go for 2 heads one in the shower / bathroom, one compact one. If you’re going for a wet head you could get a toilet with a sink on top of the cistern for some space and water saving that way you can wash your hands in either head.
That front deck is just crying out for a deck gun.🙂
Fifty cal four barrel rotating 😂😂😂
One big one with grab bars where needed make use of big space ,,,,love boots
Great episode, well done, loads done 🎉
Classically less rot in the engine ROOM,,, engines cook off moisture, plus crank case noxious
fumes pickle the wood.
Exceptional Club kids, you two
Hippopotamus 😂😂😂😂 it's watercow😂😂😂 Gemma s favourite tool is Simon 😂😂😂
Hope you hit that 100k soon. That wouyd be great....
I hope so too!
Thanks
You might try putting some heat on that valve and use some vise grips to turn the valve off. Maybe try some penatrating Oil first
When you get to the back where the rear of the boat was converted to the yacht. Will you extend the planks or leave it plywood
