- Wicked is a 2009 43 Beneteau Oceanis that suffered extensive fiberglass damage. Watch as we transform her in minutes!
We bought Wicked in June 2020 at the height of the (ahem cough cough) and risked it all to make our dreams come true. Sailing the world together has been a dream of ours for sometime now. But thanks to those UA-cam Sailors who came before us for the encouragement and inspiration its becoming a reality.
Thank you!

and so so so so many other channels for putting out content that kept us going these past 2 years. We now know it isn't easy. We've met some of you and we only hope to meet more of you guys out there when we start our actual sailing journey and somehow return the favor.
Until then we'll see you weekly on the Tube
BYE!!!!
Awesome work! What a undertaking and your determination paid off. You guys are earning it every step of the way. Looking forward to the future videos. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Thank you for watching!
The paint job is AWESOME... Y'all should teach a master class on it. Great job!
Haha you think? We are definitely NOT professionals. Just trying our best! Thanks for watching 😃
Amazing job indeed. I like the colors also. Keep it up Cap'n !
@@2singingsquadronofficial567 Thanks!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing other brown sailors!!! Can't wait to share a sundowner with you down in US VI. If all goes well, we'll jump into the Caribbean after hurricane season and US VI is definitely an intended stop!! Love your videos and love your journey!
Haha! YES let’s represent! So glad you guys are jumping back in. We’re looking forward to that sundowner :)
Perhaps I'm a bit naive but what's so unique about that?
Ooo what a nice shiny paint job ...
Thanks Peggy!
Pretty nice . I like the color. Come work on my boat . Just kidding . Who loves sanding and grinding till your hands hurt. You guys rocked it
Thanks haha the sanding seemed endless!
Amacing job. Well done 👏
Thank you very much!
2:50 I'm shocked at how thin the hull is even below the waterline...
Yea it really is. The grid is pretty robust though
I just found your channel. I subscribed, You now have my full attention!!
Haha Hi Glenn! Thanks for subscribing 😃
Amazing transformation!!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Amazing work, i wish you and your crew fair winds and care free times. Grtz from holland
Thanks Hans! Much appreciated!
this video is nuts to watch!
It was nuts doing it with no experience 😬
Great job!! congratulations
Thanks!!
So proud of you guys. I'm inspired. Can wait to join you guys on a journey out to sea.
Counting down the days!
wow! congrats, great work!
Thanks!
Als de munten er niet zijn ,moet je het zelf doen.velen zien dat als een prestatie. Maar als je iets graag wilt doe je het gewoon.
_Love your video, beautiful Sailboat indeed. My Sailboat was stolen and wrecked last year in Florida. I could not restore it back, it was too damage. I wish you guys the best! If I get another sailboat it will be a Benetau again._
Oh no! Thanks for sharing. Im sure there's a boat out there waiting for you!
@@sailingwicked Absolutely!
This gives me hope 😭😭
Lol mee too
Good job 😎
Thanks!
Nice boat.
Thank you 🙂
6:25 looks like a pretty thorough rudder repair job.
Yeap Papa Edgar really did his thing on that one! Thanks for watching

Nice Job 👍🍾
Thanks!!
great job
Thanks!!
Awesome work! What is the number of grey paint in the RAL catalog?
I do not know the number but it is AWL GRIP Dark Grey.
Great work! Now about that teak….
Tell me all about the teak!
Tremendous job! Where is this team based at?
Congrats! ♥️
Thank you! 🙏🏾 based in the USVI
It's a very nice boat. I'm surprised the owner neglected the hull like that. Either they abandoned it or they didn't know how to maintain a boat.
After it was damaged by the hurricane. I’m sure insurance wrote it off and it was salvaged. Floated on a mooring for about 3 years like that 😔
Music is brutal. Brutal! Nice job nevertheless.
Thanks!
Maintenant il faut voir si la réparation va tenir dans le temps… 😬
That is the ultimate test!
Impressive work I guess nothing is impossible with fiberglass Did you use polyester resin or epoxy
Thanks
Thank you! We used epoxy for the repairs. The boat is polyester resin and it’s recommended to use poly with poly. However epoxy on poly not the other way around can definitely be done.
what kind of boat is that? Where did you get it? Great job, thank you! Oceanis 37?
Hey! It’s an Oceanis 43 at auction in the USVI.
Beautiful sailboat! At which auction and from which city was it purchased?
Check out HarborShoppers
👍 super brawo
Thank you!!
If I could find this money, I would like to buy it....🙂👍
$8000 is what it took to rebuild and paint it.
can you explain how to do from 3.02 to 3:11; what material??
Hi! We used Formica to hold the shape for our first layers of fiber glass. There’s a bit more detail in our “there’s a huge hole in our boat” episode. We don’t do step by steps cause we are NOT professionals. Hope this helps.
What did it take to buy the boat? If it took 8k to repair it then in my opinion it’s worth it.
We won the boat at auction. We’ll do a video in the future when the refit is complete with all the $$$$ info! Thanks for watching!
Good job,where is the paint name?
We used Awl Grip Top Coat
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Τά καινούργια ⛵ δεν είναι καί τόσο καλά όσο τά παλαιά....
I would have to agree. But many old ones aren’t maintained and have extensive rot!
Rotation of cutlass bearing is shown wrong: ua-cam.com/video/9pYoG1kUvMA/v-deo.html There should be a flat inner surface at the bottom; shown is a groove at the bottom. Installed with groove at bottom will result in faster wear.
Thank you! We’ll check that out!
@@sailingwicked I don't know how much faster it will wear, so I'd ask around. I picked this up in a video only a short while ago and got it confirmed. The amount of details with boats is amazing/crazy.
Wow amazing transformation. You guys really went all in on this project.
We just found your channel. I will be definitely going back to see all your videos.
Thanks for the amazing video.
Haha ALL IN would definitely sum it up!
@@sailingwicked well I'm hooked now. You all did an amazing job!!!
@@DIYNauticalDream Thank you 🙏🏾 Much appreciated.
You ought to put comments instead of club music, PPl want to learn from that type of video!!!
music should be used to fill gaps
i tip my hat anyway...
Thanks Eric! This is a culmination of our last 12 videos. Check them out if you’d like to find out a bit more about our rebuild.
@@sailingwicked Ok good, it was the first time YT pushed one of your videos...
intro way too long.....
We agree but we were determined to keep it until we splashed since we are a new channel and no one knows who we are or what we’re doing. Much shorter intro coming in the next vids.
Ну его нахер такую восстановленную лодку. Если только по рекам или в доль берега ходить...
IT'S NOT A BOAT. IT'S AN EGGSHELL. HOPE THE OWNER HAS LEARNED IT
An eggshell with a mast, engine and keel. What’s your eggshell like? 🤔
@@sailingwicked well I like your eggshell , it shows growth.
@@11Brownin Thank you! 😜
Eggshell if definitely the word. I wouldn't buy a boat that requires so much work on the hull - i certainly wouldn't cut sections out of the hull.
Please tell me this is a starter boat for living on and learning to sail in coastal waters, please tell me you're not planning on taking that thing cruising in rough seas...
Why do you call yourselves wicked?? Not enough wickedness in the world for you?
Hey John! In Jamaica “Wicked” can be used as an exclamation of excitement. It’s widely used in the UK and beyond as well. No evil going on over here just good vibes and working on our dream :)
Did you even do any hull sounding/moisture checks? And wtf is that, cutting sections out of the hull(in an already thin hull)?? Won't that mess with the structural rigidity of the hull(That's not a kayak you're patching up)? Why did you cut a whole section out? Was an entire section of fiberglass that badly compromised? Did you guys even research boat architecture before doing this or do you think boat reclamation is an entirely aesthetic thing? What's going on here?
I wouldn't take this thing out for any bluewater cruising or anywhere where the seas get rough.
The section cut out was completely rotted or compromised. We could have cut 100 holes or done one solid repair. Clearly not a kayak… Tons of research was done, had someone with experience working with us and our surveyor was involved during the process.
If you go back a few videos you’ll learn that she was Hurricane Damaged and we won her at auction. Putting in the work ourselves was probably the only way we would be able to afford a modern sailboat. Soooo no it’s not for aesthetics lol.
Thanks for the concern
@@sailingwicked fair enough but i still wouldn't take it beyond coastal waters or at most the caribbean if you're careful about it/time it when the sea is calm - I wouldn't attempt an ocean crossing in it. On it's own terms, i can see how it might be a nice home away from home/pleasure craft for the holidays. Btw, i recommed you use a paint called CopperCoat for the hull to keep it in good condition - sea life can never get a purchase on the surface of it or penetrate it, so all you have to do is scrape it off the hull every few months with a plastic spatula and it falls off with no effort or scratching of the paint, plus should only require painting every 10 years or so. This will save you a lot of money in the long run in terms of hull maintainence.
Looks like a flip boat. Will be buyers problems. Pretty strong argument against buying anything w/ hurricane damage history.
@@jackhawthorn4799 Have a look at Sailing Dauntless and the repairs that they have done to a Leopard 50, all sanctioned by the factory's naval architect and insured! If the repairs were done with Epoxy to the factory lay-up schedule or better then that part of the hull is stronger than the rest.
How come the yard workers aren't wearing masks? Lol
Not something that enforced. Its the Wild West out here!
Awful music
Not your taste of music that’s ok 👌🏾
Muito bom my brother!!!
Thank you 💪🏽
Awesome work!
Thanks a lot!
