    That Dinghy is a perfect Dive Boat, it will never sink, won't bend over in waves or when a diver is climbing on board, and the rubber won't rot in the sunlight.

    Your underwater lights make Yaba look like a Super Yacht. Beware this will attract all manner of sea life to the hull and the area around you at night? (Particularly shark and squid.) And to the dinghy - it is sturdy and safe. If you don't love it, paint it. I believe it is a very, very good tender. I already love it for you!

    Guys all looking great ,BUT please have a look at your rudder steering system there is a missing component , you need a spring tensioner for each side to take up the slack when the opposite side is applying the tension. look at your video and the slack wire bowing as the rudder moves ,it will come off the wheel if you do not guide it.

    COLREG: ANNEX I: 5. Screens for sidelights: "The sidelights of vessels of 20 meters or more in length shall be fitted with inboard screens painted matt black, and meeting the requirements of Section 9 of this Annex."
    Here we go and I hope that helps. Basically that means you need to build a box out of two boards and mount it on top of the wheelhouse to comply with that rule.

    Your Dad is right. The tubing brace would be greatly improved with a vertical brace. And I have talked to you guys (till I'm blue in the face) about the concept of a truss system. The combo arrangement (cable/tubing) etc. that you have in the back could have been two rugged truss systems welded and attached. Tubing is great. Also again on the fore part of the boat (the bowsprit) a vertical (up and down metal post) like a "spreader system" only horizontal. Would add the strength of a truss system to the bowsprit and total rig of the boat. There would be much less flexing. I'm blue in the face here. Oh well time will tell. Set your sails and see what happens. Steve from New Hampshire.

    What a great heart warming episode. Really enjoyed your family pitching in. Only thought on this episode was how your boom may act with your solar panels, I have used up quite a bit of deck wrestling a sail down on to the boom. About your dingy? Guess it can not sink. Always thought they would make a great rain water collector with a hose in the drain plug. Bet you get an all electric like Capt Moore has before long. He used a cheap winch and cables for a good retrieval davits. Every time I see Yaba from a drone shot My blood pressure shoots up 19 points.

I love Sunday mornings because I know I am going to get to see Yaba come back to life again you guys are amazing and have learned so much and grown even more i wish nothing but full sails and clear waters for you guys and many happy adventures along the way. I watch so many ship building and sailing channels here on youtube but Yaba is my favorite ship by far she is so big and roomy and beautiful I look forward to seeing her sail and I hope you bring us along for the ride. and to see you guy able to go diving again living your best life while you are young enough to enjoy it. best wishes from your appreciative fan.
