![1 YEAR REBUILDING AN OLD BOAT INTO A MODERN YACHT TIMELAPSE [START TO FINISH]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D570ADd0DGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Well done ❤, i got a 27 ft. Daysailer for almost free. 150€. Now after 3 years in the final stage at a round 22000 €. So what i good not do, new rigging,sails , dodger etc. Took a lot of money as were insurance, fees for berth . . Each meter in lenght of the boat can double your costs. But if you are in the water and sailing after 3 years you have a big smile on your face.
Woahhh! What an awesome story! Well done!
We’ve just started our own build, stoked to be a part of it!!!
Great vid. I am doing a complete restoration of a 1977 Alden 44, #001. I have re-cord the decks, replaced a bulkhead, painted the hull. I need to re-do all the mechanicals next. The boat is located on the western end of Lake Superior in America. It is scary cold there in the winter so my work has been limited to summer months, mostly working weekends and holiday time. One thing that I cannot stress enough on restoring a boat is the amount of time it takes. It never seems to end. You have to devote every spare minute to the boat or you will never go in the water.
I have come to the conclusion that you like building boats or you like sailing them. Not boat. If you live in an area with weather extremes you need a climate controlled building to do the work. I will probably save over $100,000 doing the work myself instead of hiring the marina. In hindsight, I would have not purchased a boat that had one foot in the grave, I would have waited to find a boat that needed less work. I would never do this again, but I am grateful for the experience. I you want to save money, have a lot of patience(and time), are mechanically inclined then fixing a boat could be worth it. You just really need to understand what you are getting yourself into.
Hi Tim! Thanks for commenting, seems like an awesome job you have on! Keep us posted, if you use Instagram tag us, I’d love to see your progress!
So, I (Chris) am a boatbuilder… I completely agree that it takes an absolute age to fix boats but I’d you love it, it’s truly amazing! Seems like you have the right idea. For me it’s not about saving money, it’s about the entire experience. We love it! However…. I’f I were in Andy’s position I’m not sure I would do it, super experienced chap but so much to learn I’m a short period can add quite a bit of stress - still he seems ok about this - legend!
Would love to know what happened to the UA-cam channel that Andy started with Adam. Used to be called the Admiralty and now called the midshipman
Lovely Chanel that just stopped posting
Hey… Can’t say too much there fella… but I wouldn’t worry! We’ve always got something new hidden up our sleeve. Hold fast!
Adam took management of the Midshipmen, I will be starting something new in the coming months with a collection of characters
Great interview. thought I saw all of Andy's work shows, I must have missed the one where he made a fool of himself. Totally enjoy your channel. Thanks
Andy, make a fool of himself… you must be kidding!🤠😂 The lads a legend!
Cheers Herbert! 👍
" That's not how that works " - Chris, that should be stamped on a T-shirt available to every single sailor mate hahahaha
😂 maybe…. Mate how are you? We’re long overdue a catch up my friend.
This is refreshing. A somewhat offensive guy on a different channel speaks against fixing up an older boat, a bit too much. Nice job! It also sounds wise to not buy one that will take more than a year.
Ahh. There’s nothing wrong with fixing up an old boat. Just don’t underestimate the work, most of us buy them to sail so let’s not forget to sail! 😆
It’s a super sport to be into, everyone wants to help so progress can be really good! Research is pretty easy too if you need it as there’s so much online, if you do get stuck though, drop us an email 👍👌
"you need to work like a dog" that was my experience of it as well. But same result, wound up with a boat that I wouldn't normally been able to afford.
Sign me up for the dog food! 👍
Dogs I have observed, generally do little work.
@chhindz 🤣 Fantastic!
Good PTC - The facts regarding boating. I just bought a Moody 422 in New York and am having some upgrades done (Via Zoom) ;)
Updates via zoom! There a new one. Let us know how it goes! Btw… nice boat! 👍⛵️
I hasten to add that I am based in Cheshire ;) @@SailHub
anybody brave enough to put Wigan on the back of a boat should be in prison
Careful what you say, Schwarzenegger was a Wiganer!
