Nobody noticed that Kika"s hair looks amazing?
Never stop fixing and sailing Uma and sailing her!
love you guys!
I was thinking the same thing!
Ditto!
it does look amazing, but i liked it fluffy...
Dan, nice stache dude...
UMA is gone kids. And it aint comin’ back.
Without doubt you are two of the most dedicated, resourceful and determined young people I have ever come across. Very few people can possibly understand the scale of the job you have taken on while at the same time still fulfilling all the other commitments you have while staying positive requires tremendous strength of character and frankly nothing short of a super human effort. I take my hat off to you both and continue to be inspired by the pair of you. Thank you both so much for sharing it all with us. Love your work!

Please take good care of UMA. We all need you guys to maintain this wonderful channel and our beautiful boat.
I'm glad to see that you are getting the keel and glass work professionally done. Even though you both are very diligent about your safety gear while doing glass work, I worry that it may affect your health years later by breathing all of those pollutants. This should also save you time and allow you to get back on the water sooner. And please ignore the Mystery Man's comments, he is just having a bad night.
The fact that motor started and ran on year old gas is impressive.
I was thinking the same thing, remarkable it even started.
I agree, because even if it had fuel stabilizer it should have been dumped and new fuel and oil after 6 months. The outboard should have been started and run completely out of fuel to save the carburetor. I guess they're just lucky.
Love this era of Uma. It's great to build her up again and make her better than new. I also like that it will certainly cost less than a new boat of similar quality. I get that we can make more of what we have. All that said, a.lot of the time I find myself wishing that Uma was retired and they picked up an amazing used yacht, about 40-45 feet long, and purpose built for ocean crossings. It's absolutely true that a new-used boat would take almost as much work to renovate and make her right. It would take time, and probably just as much money. Plus there's the emotional factor. I just personally wish for Dan and Kika a bigger boat that is more suited to world exploration. This would be for the next decade or two. They could have kids and still fit on a larger boat. This is all just my opinion. Few will agree. I've been a fan of Sailing Uma since day one. My wish is that they'd take this opportunity to get a boat that is purpose-built for their life. Either way it's great to watch!
We knew this would be a process, and painstaking. You both are showing great resolve. We cant wait for you to return to sailing and enjoy the fruits of all your labor.
Older fiberglass boats (1960 to approximately 1990) generally were over built and were primarily monocoque construction. Modern yachts now use internal stiffening that follows metal construction techniques (frames, longitudinal girders and stiffeners to form panels) this method significantly reduces weight and material and resists the stress induced by rigging tension, mast compression and keel bending loads. Relying on the hull thickness and typically a transverse bulkhead under the mast alone is insufficient as illustrated by many UA-cam channels. However, all the fixing of the related problems that occur in these older boats does not address fatigue; fiberglass will ultimately fatigue under cyclical loading of the sailing rig, keel movement and seaway motions.
Your Yamaha outboard is the hero of this episode…
Keep going with an upgraded Uma. No one will forget your epic journey crossing the Atlantic Ocean with giant waves that make both of you super famous.
How you mane to get the work done AND create videos of this quality just amazes me. And you guys are just natural.
awww..poor Uma has been checked into rehab. While kind of sad, she will come out of it better than new. Happy trails you two.
I love the fact you guys are ripping everything apart and building it from the bottom up with your knowledge and new skills. It's difficult to own a boat and takes a lot of work. Keep it up, you're killing it!
it's content. tearing into their boat and fixing it over and over again is their job.
@@junkname9983boat re-fits videos get more views than boat life videos.
Very relieved to hear both about the keel drop and the lamination being done on land. Though the keel bolts were likely high grade stainless, even that suffers crevice corrosion. You need to get eyes on the bolts where they pass through the glass to see what is left. Much newer Pearsons are showing problems not always visible inside. Hull lamination in the water would have introduced potential for temperature differential inside to out and resulting condensation compromising even a well prepped surface secondary bond. If you want the forever fix on the bottom barrier, get rid of all the epoxy and gelcoat and add a vinylester laminate layer with epoxy fairing and paint over it.
Lots of terrible comments in here, so I’m popping in to say I’ve been following you since the beginning - and I enjoy your adventures and cool videos of them. Please ignore the dickheads and do your thing 💜
This! ⤴️
It supposed to be a sailing channel. This kids are playing house.
I love that you getting help! As much as I enjoy watching others do boat work, I don't like seeing it become overwhelming. It is fun when you add other people to your channel too, to kind of mix it up. ALSO.... glad you have other stuff in your life that you find more fun than glassing! I love following all your adventures!
Remember you have a chopper gun l cheaply built coastal cruiser that you are hopefully going to add an interior structure to support it all. Your honesty is what makes this channel interesting. This boat will still be small and slow and you will be apprehensive about going certain places. Some of these boats are being sold for the value of the lead in the keel. Good luck
A tip regarding two strokes; Never use old fuel, if it’s been sitting for 6 months, don’t use it.
Another thing is outboards where you mix the oil in the gas, the oil doesn’t lubricate anymore if you’ve let that gas/oil mix sit over 6+ months. You actually have to add the same amount of oil again to be sure.
So the best thing is to use as much as possible before the end of the season, and start with a clean engine and fresh fuel.
I’m really looking forward to the repairs and rebuild ramping up, I’ve been missing the sailing stuff :)
(I’m not complaining, I love the channel, team pro-Uma)
Yall got this. A lot of progress, it’s coming along. Kika your new hair style looks amazing!!!!! 👍
Hoping you're having a great holidays. Have fun, guys!
Thank you for another year of great adventure! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
I didn't realize the boat was registered in Nanaimo, very cool. We're from the interior of BC, happy new year to Dan and Kika. Hope to see you on the west coast when the boat is complete and another year of sailing.
Thank goodness for that Land Rover!
Thanks for saying you can get seasick at the dock! That happened to me here in Victoria BC and I was so upset. It was the most sick I ever felt on my little Georgian 23.
I almost gave up on you guys. Glad to see you working on Uma. Love you guys.
Being able to watch this journey is so much fun. And your explanations are also fantastic. Please keep up the good work.
Great plans and a lot of very good judgements as usual for you great sailors! Well done UMA! Looking forward for your adventures! CIAO
So great to see the project continuing to progress! New year, new Uma!
You two keep me inspired in so many ways. Stay positive and encouraged
Happy travels back home in Haiti.
Haiti! All I’ve heard and read concerning that country is it is a scary place. Fair weather sailing in Haiti when you’re visiting. Wish you a good 2024 year for your projects.
Kika is from Haiti. The first time I went there was in 1984 and i was based in Cap Haitian. It is a beautiful country. The poverty there is manmade, because of the government, but the country and the people, are simply beautiful. I would go back again in a heartbeat.
Great stuff! Your mishaps and misadventures are so humorously ironic. Your humor and steadfastness in the face of unending obstacles. Cheers and a peaceful 2024.
Lol love the hand cup earmuffs for flushing the outboard
Hope you've filmed some of your time in the BVI.
Hey Dan and Kika! It's great to see you tackling the boat work and making changes in Step 374. Your dedication to fixing and sailing Uma is inspiring! Thank you for another year of incredible adventures. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Keep up the fantastic work, you guys rock! 💪💙
It will all come together
If you don't have one I'd recommend a surface conditioning tool, they are very good for stripping and prepping/finishing large areas quite fast.
Good Will guys, you’ve been doing this so long. I know it’s been hard maintaining definition in your life/social and with this radical interruption providing different perspectives and opportunities decisions must come up. I hope they are easy and positive. Look at what you’ve done, learned and taught, together.
I remember a gap between the keel to hull joint in my Pearson 26 and fretted about it. Discovered that is typical with those boats for and the fretting stopped. Never had a functional problem with it.
I'm about to embark on building a small wood sailboat. From all I have reviewed I will gladly fore go many comforts on newer vessels and be glad of it.
Binged all the way from step 1 and I finally caught up!
Looking good moving forward. Love the dingy on the truck.😎👍🚢🇺🇸
Best childhood memories on a tender Plaining!
Have fun on y’all trip and so glad y’all can visit family. Safe travels!
I'm glad you finally said that Dan because I kept thinking how old is that gasoline?
Whaaaw already a year ago, you sailed into Moys! And don't we remember!!!!🤣🙏🏻
Looks. Pretty calm in the film but I guess your getting some real hammering 💨💨.
So glad Uma will get first class treatment. Watching her space.🙏🏻🫶🏻⛵🥰
Your hard work will pay off, and can't wait to see the end results, and your smooth sailing again. Just enjoying watching your progress. Kika blew her hair out. It's beautiful curly or less curly.
I wish you a happy, healthy 2024, Kika & Dan! Safe travels ❤
Great episode, glade to see it out and getting some work done while your gone.
A great decision for a great start to a new year! May all needed discoveries be known and repaired for Uma 2.0.
Yay for boat dimples have resolved themselves and being able to hire out to remove eco-systems!
Kika, I've always loved your hair!
It looks beautiful with this new lightly relaxed look, too - how long it is!!! Bellissima.
Crazy amount of work...good luck!
Looking forward to your BVI session, been a long time since I sailed around there. 👍
Just was wondering early on in this episode, whether you should’ve checked on the viability of the keel before doing any of the work that you have been doing inside the boat. Wasn’t there always a possibility that bad news from the keel could have meant that it’d be cheaper if you got a new boat, in which case all this work would’ve been done for no reason?
just noticing how long kika's hair has gotten. looks epic :)
Happy New Year! Hope you guys are back under sail, soon!
The Pearson triton are the superman of boats but yours is just living on the triton legacy.
Glad to see some forward progress happening, I spent the last 4 years doing this to my boat, in the end though it is very worth it.
Wow, the last video of yours I saw was when the engineer (?) came and did a in depth ultrasound of your hull. How many months ago was that? Not really much progress since then I feel. Your postitive attitude is admirable. Lots of energy is going to be put into your refit, I hope that it is worthwhile in the long run.
Kika your hair has never look more beautiful.
Since you've gutted much of the internal bracing, are you resting the hull on forms to ensure it's proper shape while building new internal bracing?
We haven’t removed any structure from the hull.
Looking good Kika! Miss your curls, but you still look fabulous!
I’ve truly enjoyed UMA since the beginning , have you guys thought about taking break ? You deserve it .
One thing to be aware of is that gutting the ship like that might, and I do mean might make the hull widen a bit as the hull relaxes without the pushback from the sea. My family did the same thing a long time ago and when all releases was dropped the sides moved outwards a lot more than they should have, annoyingly we did not have a good way to fix it, so we remade everything with the new width minus what little we managed to push it back to where it should be.
That ship is still wider than originally planned and currently it should be still sailing far to the south were the new owners wanted the ship to end up. I actually saw an online clip a few years ago that was fairly new which showed that ship right outside it's new harbor.
So it is worth keeping a lookout for as the ship is settling down.
We're keeping a very close eye on it all. and leaving in the few main bulkheads until more structure is glassed back in, so no noticeable hull shape changes so far.
Hi,I am very much looking forward to your next project having been following your journeys for quite some time.best wishes for the year to come,cheers,Roly🇬🇧.
Definitely dont leave it on the roof! I have had a landyacht on my roof rack for 5 odd years!
Keeping fingers crossed the keel doesn't need to come off. Missing Uma's adventures on the water.
Buon Anno e Buon Lavoro!
Happy New Year the both of you. I watched many, maybe not all of the videos you posted, but certainly last year I did. I've made a couple of purchases I believe. I'll read up on your offers now. I love your story, but not as much as your adventure as a couple. There's two other sailing channels I watch as well that have similar love connections, and kids on two of them. Anyway, it's actually 3 and I can not add any more. Regardless the adventures are beautiful, your bravery and knowledge draw me in the most, and I love you both. I guess I can say that, even in this PC world. Oh, glad I remembered,,. Kika please keep doing your dancing, and acrobatics... it truly is lovely. God bless you both.
Imo never ever leave a project without a proper way to get follow up. I feel they can easily cheat out on the work and not be up to your standard if not checked from time to time.
She's in good hands. We have people looking after her.
@@7heGrandTouristYou must be joking, right?
@@7heGrandTouristget over yourself
@@7heGrandTourist
Yeah, you may be right about they’re privileged …, but haven’t they earned that “privilege” through years of their hard work, no? Besides, I don’t know which part of “we have people” is a cold statement…
@@7heGrandTouristI think it's the kind of thing people say when they have trustworthy people to rely on.
Safe travels in Haiti!!
Got rid of the dimples in the hull, that must have been a very satisfactory observation!
Well sort of. We knew what caused them, it was the mast and stays pulling up and in on the hull. So removing the mast "fixed" the dimples. But now we need to reinforce the hull A LOT to be able to support the mast and rig when we put it all back.
Hi guys, happy New Year. Congratulations on your hull out. I think things are going to change on Uma. It’ll be wonderful to see her sailing again. Keep up the good work love and appreciate you both Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺👨🏻🦽
This was such a good video! Felt more like a documentary
cor that is a huge amount of vegetation living on the below waterline of UMA .small wonder it was a bit draggy through the water .
Will you be able to work on UMA while she is on the hard or do you have to wait until she is back in the water to begin fitting out the interior? It is going to be a great year for you two. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
The yard is going to let us do work on Uma while she's hauled out. Maybe even have a little container work shop. We'll see.
Very nice hair Kika 🤗
More sailing awesomeness!😊😊
It’s a monumental project and I totally get why you want to undertake this. I must say I was getting worried and I hope that this really pushes this project into a gear. I would be following you if you decided to sell her a year ago for some coastal cruising. But to give up now while she’s gutted, that would be a hard pass for me at this point, sorry to say. Rooting for you!
Sorry, I know it's a pain for you guys, but I love watching major projects, especially haul outs. 😁
Kiki, you look so beautiful with your hair open. Hapy NY by the way,...
Hi Dan & Kika!
First - HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 I know you will have so many good things to share with us in 2024. Very excited to follow along and see Uma get back out to sea.
Next - I did get a teensy spoiler alert re: the BVIs and I can not WAIT to see that video (and for the commenters to lose their minds 🤣).
Last - Dan you are a handsome fella but... KIKA?! Your hair looks beautiful in this episode. Holiday hair, don't care? 😊🌴 Gorgeous, sistahh.
Hope your holiday travels were safe and that you had a blast. xo
These 2 are like The Beach Combers meets Pirates of the Caribbean ❤
Happy new year guys. I hope 2024 is your best year yet. After having watched you guys fix up Uma from bow to stern, it seems strange to see you hire someone else do work on her. But many hands make light work so it will help her get back on the water as quickly as possible.
I thought you were going to do the interior hull fiberglass work in the water so the hull is the right shape. You said the dimples were from moving the boat and being on stands Fix the keel, do the external work (primer, barrier coat, move stands complete the primer and barrier coat, move stands again, then multiple layers of bottom paint, paint the hull, wax the fern board, fix the rub rail, then back in the water for internal hull stiffening, rigging stringers, etc. then rebuild the interior.
Happy New Year with Uma on the hard now you can really get her in shape again.
Lifting with no bulkheads was worring me!!
We haven’t removed anything that was actually attached to the hull. That’s the crazy part.
Glad all is ok@@SailingUma
Going to BVI cool! Going to Haití 😵 ver dangerous right now.
We know. I'm from there.
Kika's Italian is great! Time for Dan to show off 😁
Really enjoy waching your videos! But as you can fix everything, I wonder why you have not made a Slidable mount for the outboard on uma directly?
Because in 10 yrs, we’ve side tied maybe 5 times. Not really worth building and entire bracket for something so infrequent
Oh no. 😮 With you hiring out the glass work I for-see more van life videos in the future. Cue the haters. Don't worry, I'll still watch. 😊❤❤
lol. I think the opposite I’m true. If we did the work ourselves it would take several weeks. I do t think we’d make 6 or 7 videos of glassing the same thing. But if pros do it, it will take a week. We’ll make one video about it and move onto better projects.
We moved a boat!! Wow
If you keep gas for a year you need to put stabilizer in the gas before storing it otherwise a laquer will develope in the gas that can fowl your plugs and block the carburetor.
If you keep it longer again you will have major problems next time you start it ....
-Carburetor overhaul !
-New filter ...
-Draining and replacing the fuel ...
-Replacing or cleaning the spark plugs
Better to give the gas away now . Much cheaper and easier .
My wife can tell you how excited I get when I see the title BOAT WORK! WOOOO LETS GOOO
You have got to know the "true" condition of the keel. Agree that you do need to know!
Change the outboard fuel for fresh before relaunch!
absolutly love your content!!!
I put seafoam in my gas tank when my rv sits for months mix in gas to keep water moisture out
Old gas? OH! You got it! :)
That Land Rover door is still Ajar
Yup. Won't change until we remount the spare and true up the door after.
