    it's a funny business, i'm a 73 year old guy in new zealand and you don't know me at all, but i watch you every week and am getting to know you and i wouldn't keep watching if i didn't enjoy the 2 of you [as well as the work]. so thank you

      Once the last of the bilge is sanded and the floor is down, things should improve.

    Great progress on everything you’ve done so far, you’re getting closer every day. Each task you accomplish is a step towards getting into the water and enjoying all your hard. Supporting you all the way to the finish. You’ll get there. Thank you for putting together this video with updates on what you have done and a great plan for the coming months ahead. Will look forward to every video you post.

    Don't burn yourselves out. If you need to take breaks from youtube just take time out. Your audience will understand. One of my favourite channels just shut down due to burnout. Please don't go the same way. All in all, great communication from you guys, loving your work and your videos. ❤

    You guys are doing an amazing job absolutely incredible. How the boat looked back when you got it to now WOW,,,,,
    You both have really really done a lot of hard work and still have a lot to do but it will all be worth it at the end.
    Keep up the good work and don’t stop sharing and don’t stop making UA-cam videos.
    The videos are really really appreciated I can’t tell you just how much your videos mean to us all.
    Thanks guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    I've watched your whole Journey with the seabird in a few days... So much has Changed.. you've worked so hard and should be extremely proud (i know you are, she looks beautiful), at the beginning Stuart Seemed very stressed and didn't get very involved with the videos, now he makes my husband and I laugh out loud with his dry sense of humour and one liners.. Marina is a very beautiful person.. but over time seen a real human side to her, and that even though she's full of smiles, it's a difficult process and it's not always 'Rainbows'.. We think you're both lovely people and can't wait to see the inside progress. Sending you positivity xx

    Watched every episode. Nice review to remind how much has been done. Still daunting tasks ahead. Engine install and getting aligned will probably drive you all nuts till all is good. I think after that, all work will be like walking down hill. Great work! One of my favorite channels.

    I am 77 in NZ and watch you and similar channels to live my 2nd (imaginary) youth. I did have a friend who went sailing in the 70s, while I was busy raising kids. He was sunk off Australia after hitting a container at night which quenched any sailing aspirations. Incidents like this shape how a life story develops despite grand plans. The real message is to pursue your dreams and sail Seabird into your future! Good luck and I will be here watching and enjoying your adventure.

    Terrific video guys. Marina, you in particular, are a very good presenter but both you and Stu make the story so interesting. Sure there is lots of work to do but you have made really solid progress so far and by doing the job properly you won't have to re do anything. Good luck to you both. For me your weekly videos are my favourite watch first thing of a Saturday morning in Melbourne, Australia.

I do miss you and Stuart digging in the bins like you used to do. Take your time and enjoy your life together, you compliment each other and make a lovely couple. I wish you lots of happiness and I am looking forward to many more very interesting and entertaining videos. Thank you for some great videos.

    such an amazing video this week! thank you! I look forward to them every friday after i get home from work! Seabird has a new life ahead of it thanks to your love being poured into it. But always remember to take some time away from it for your love for each other also. Oh, and Stewert can act silly any time he wants! LOL I love it when you two add some fun to the project! Anyway, I just wanted to say I love watching your progress, and remember, there is no such thing as absolute perfection, only happy with it! Cheers till next week!

I wish I still had your level of energy and enthusiasm - harness it now, but also take time to be you and reflect on the successes achieved so far - including before Seabird, which was prep for now. Stay safe, stay strong and reach out for the day you raise the mainsail - you've got this - keep going!

    Aluminium ìs like a nudist...it likes to be naked.... no matter how you prepare it it will start oxidising and cause the coating to flake off. If water gets under paint or fairing the aluminium literally turns to paste. Keep it bare and give it a polished now and then if you like. You have come so far, done so much! Well done! 🎉🎉🎉

    If UA-cam has become your job, you guys ought to treat it as such. If I was getting burned out, I’d start limiting myself to only working so many hours. A lot of ppl put in 40hrs each week, and have a couple days to getaway from their job. That can be a little tricky when you live on the job site, 😂 so I get it, and see how it can become 7 days a week. Regardless, boat look great, you two ought to be proud of what you’ve accomplished, see ya in the next video.

    It is great to see the progress and the remaining work building up should be more satisfying. Finishing the interior over winter makes sense, can you get any internal heating into the boat at that site? Hull/Deck/Mast over summer also makes sense. Will you keep the 70’s style lines and winches at the mast, or run some lines to the cockpit? Pros and cons both ways I think. I do like the 60/70’s centre cockpit lines as a sea kindly passage maker. Good luck.

    Y'all doing good! And yeah, take breaks. The end is in sight, don't burn out right before the finish line. Besides, it'll be winter soon, not the best time to do a lot of work - do some anyway, but take some time to just ... do not much at all. Do nothing. Just, I dunno, chill, have a cup of tea, read a book, read two books, have the hot chocolate. Heck, have the whipped cream with that.

    You are doing a fantastic job you both deserve a pat on the back.
    The boat has come such a long way.Some people might have thrown the towel in
    but the two of you have kept going by staying positive and supporting each other
    through thick and thin

    Your journey has just been inspiring ❤ I have worked on boats and appreciate the meticulous detail required to achieve a proper result. I work on my car as a hobby and it’s a walk in the park compared to what you’ve been through.
    What you have completed thus far blows my mind. You two have tremendous will and spirit, and I want to thank you for sharing. It’s been an honor and look forward to watching your progress. Warmest regards 🎉

      Thank you.
      We aren't reinventing the wheel, it's just a refit.
      Literally taking off everything and refitting it, plus a few extras 🤣🤣
      Tbh the time has gone really quick, we must be having fun.
      We are grateful for your support.
      Cheers for watching 🙂
