Good luck to you. We are also a team of adventure-loving dreamers who rushed from Vladivostok to fulfill our long-time dream - to buy a yacht! And now we are already going home on it.
I'm a 67yr old New Zealander and retired engineer and would like to thank Lauren's parents for bringing up an awesome daughter and teaching her how life truly is by not expecting to be carried through life, Lauren is one amazing young lady that I absolutely admire and respect
@@paton57 "watch touching the after life" near Death Experiences of people who literally went to Hell and came back. Your kind stay down there. Nameless too I might add.
Having lived on our boat for 10 years, I’m thoroughly familiar with the efforts involved. We are also very thankful for our wonderful cruising experiences and at 85 we still miss that life. Having said that we have the greatest respect for Lauren’s dedication, abilities, efforts and artful vlogging. Kudos and may her cruising years be far ranging, exciting and fulfilling.
Well done Lauren; you’re doing a wonderful job there. It’s great that you have such confidence in the yard and their level of attention to detail/safety… Enjoy your time away .
Impressive! I own and live aboard a 43' Columbia sloop and has the boat in drydock doing the exact same thing but I had 3 of us scraping, prepping and painting the haul, it's not easy work. I really admire this woman and her sailing abilities and how well she mountains her boat👍. It's a beautiful boat. Stay safe out there, happy sailing😊⛵
Always impressed with the care you put into the boat. Not because you're a woman. But because it's such a big boat. My daughter enjoys watching too :-)
Your work ethic is so great to see for such a young woman. You are definitely not afraid of hard work and keep your boat in tip top shape. Kudos to you, Lauren!
I agree with comments so much. I think some of it has to do with your parents guidance. But we all know, horses and water……..! My parents have tried to create a solid life for me as well. But I think it comes down to……..you. You made the choice to take certain influences and become awesome. And that is what I tip my hat to, with complete chivalry.
Mom and dad raised an incredible daughter. U r what all people should be Lauren. Hell of a work ethic. People like u r far and few in between. Stay safe and enjoy your time away from the boat.
You are a BOSS! My OCD really appreciated the sanding portion of the video. I've done the bottom of my C25 at least 5 times and I'm soooo done with it. I'm sure I have at least 1 or 2 bottom jobs on a 40ft catamaran in my future but I don't want to think about it now. Great video and great work!!! Thanks again for sharing.
Я из России и смотрю твои видео уже год. жду новых выпусков. Ты самая удивительная девушка с котом! : ) Ты многого добилась! Тебя приятно смотреть! Лорен тебя хочется смотреть и смотреть! (смотрю через переводчик)
I was strangely looking forward to this video! 😄 Like I said last time: let's get black and happy sanding! Great job and great video. That's how the Pro's do it. It may be hard but you secretly love this shit! You can't hide it 😉. Have a great break and again thanks for sharing. 🌷
Lauren, hi from Alberta, Canada great channel really enjoy the Bahamian waters you choose to sail. You seem to have the special ability to find the clearest and shallowest waters around. Kudos to you regarding your work ethic and knowledge of your boat. I cant think of any other sailing channel where the owner prepares their boat solo for season ending storage. That hull maintenance alone was extremely impressive not to mention all of the other areas requiring attention prior to storage. Looking forward to seeing you back out on the water after your well earned break.
Laren sanded one day. I sanded our 32“ boat for four weeks at about 5 hours per day. Ok, but I am an old man….. But, respect, Lauren is awesome! I wish, i could get her: the job as daughter in law is vacant at our family.
@peterclaas, She sanded the boat iot prepare it for anti foul paint. If you sanded your boat for four weeks her hull is now thin like a piece of paper lol
Nice work but remember for next time (as strange as it may sound): after sanding, FIRST apply one layer of Primocon BEFORE applying your filler on keel and hull. THEN a few more Primocon layers. Finally your antifouling. Keep up the good work!
I am also a Kiwi 14 metre boat owner, I also swear I am not sanding again! but every year.. thankfully I do get satisfaction for a job well done, even if it lasts only a month or two! I also think you are an amazing woman and think your attitude to life is beyond your years.
Yep I agree with the other gentleman, you are one hard working young lady. Your parents are proud of their daughter at what. You have accomplished. All your hard work will pay off one day on what's next in your life. Roman's 8:28
Ms Lauren , you wondered how good your dust mask is / it looks like the ones I have and are made by a company called North - they're really good as long as you have a snug fit to your face . After a full day of finishing sanding of plaster ( at clients homes ) I usually have to wash my eyeballs ! and have been using a sterile eye wash made by Optrex which works really ( well for me ) 1 or 2 rinses with that and I'm good to go . I can honestly say I don't envy you having to sand the hull , all that black dust , wow 🙀 / 😸
Great to see how you simply get stuck in and get the job done. Many a crew take way longer with more people to get the job done. You on the other hand just get into it. Huge kudos.
I was wondering why you don’t use copper coat since it’s a 10 yr redo? I know it’s expensive, but man you’ve got a lot of muscle work every other year. I love your channel enjoy your time off the boat. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lauren always an inspiration watching you how you cope with the mundane chores of sailing. You would put many guys to shame how you graft away at antifouling the hull. I am down in Turkey at a big marina in Fethye. Meet lots of American sailors here on vacation. Have a lovely break and do rest up. 🏴🐠🌴⛵❤
The history off the winged keel was the secret that the Aussies designed which ultimately won the America's Cup on September 26, 1983, with their boat Australia II. The U.S. losing skipper was Dennis Connor. Australia won the best of 7 races 4 to 3. I guess this is now standard on sailing yachts, and I see Lauren's yacht has it.
Really enjoy everything you share on this channel. I wait with anticipation for your next one. Ever consider sailing downunder? An epic trip but I do think you would enjoy what Australia offers someone like yourself.
Lauren, de verdad fue mucho mucho trabajo, tenias de verdad muy irritados los ojos y se veia que estabas agotada, pero una sonrisa radiante y un espiritu de trabajo hermoso. A veces cuando hay que hacer algun trabajo que no me gusta encarar me acuerdo de momentos tuyos como este y encuentro las ganas como vos tambien las encontraste. Sos un ejemplo y algo hermoso y no queremos que te vayas nunca ni cambies tampoco. Si es posible mandarte un poco de la calidez de nuestros corazones recibila y toma fuerzas para seguir, nosotros estamos a tu lado y yo especialmente. Gracias por ser asi y mostrarte a nosotros, cuando te filmabas con suciedad despues de trabajar, solo se destacaba tu sonrisa y tu mirada y tu gran corazon, espectacular, una reina como bien dijiste en tu reel de instagram, cuidate mucho te esperamos en tu vuelta. 😘😘😘💓💙💙🙏🙏
Hey Loren, you sure must have the respect, and admiration of every worker in the marina today. You took on a huge jpb and simply did it all of it, every bit of iy very, veery professionally. Good for you. You will be remembered forever in that yard and around that entire saiing area. Your name is now legend!
My friend and I sailed a 30 foot Catalina all over the place. When it came to the yard we always said "you never realize how big a 30 foot boat is until you do a bottom job". There was two of us and you just did a 50 footer by yourself. You sure hid the pain well the next day.
@3:40 Hi Lauren! Packing up my house today into a "to the boat" shipping container and I was like "hmm, do I really need to bring this 100 foot long extension cord with me?" Well apparently so!
So 3 months break. Nothing like a little holiday is there? Have fun with all those repairs you have. Hopefully you get the chance to complete if not all of them, at least most.
Wow! Gotta love it, otherwise seems like way too much work, I am tired just from watching your video. Your other videos, which I enjoy immensely, almost convinced to go out and buy a sale boat but now I am having second thoughts. John
Note: I get two pieces of toilet paper and put them over the mask filter dust pad and then press the cover back on, change the toilet paper frequently in heavy sanding, really saves on mask filter dust pads, helps keep them clean
As a 59 year old woman … sailing solo as a young female never ever crossed my mind !! I guess I grew up in a different time . Didn’t know such an experience was even possible ? I admire you in many ways , I love your independence & think you are a very brave voyeur ! Kudos !!! How did you fund your boat ? Do you ever get lonely ? Do you ever get frightened ? Do you have long term goals ? Or are you just sailing on through , as you navigate this crazy life , pardon the pun ? I’m just curious … maybe in my next life I could be so brave ?? I’m just curious about your/young/female life perspective ✨ Many that’s for the window into a world I never imagined . Thank you for sharing your life 🙏 Cheers
Boat work videos are always nice to really see how much love and passion you put in Soul de La Mar! And the room with the AC and hot shower must be a DRIVING motivator to finish the work 😅 Great video, can't wait to see what the next one will be!
There are several different designs of safety glasses and you have the whole range to choose from since you don’t wear glasses. Some are just clear lenses with side panels that look like sunglasses, not goggles that touch your face. Millions of woodworkers and hobbyists have learned how to make them work so I strongly suggest that you get a pair.
Hint to newbie sailors: When you are sailing and racing on OPBs, and the owner asks for volunteers to help sand and longboard the bottom, you pretty much get awarded permanent crew status jusf by showing up and helping get that miserable job done.
Hi Lauren. Thanks for replying, ( I don’t know where you find the time). I sent a couple of tracks to messenger for your listening. Have a great day and pat Mako for me😊

@davidjackson2115 Total load of BS keep your stupid comments to yourself
When a person decides something is top priority we make it happen. You go Girl!
Darn girl, you would put any man to shame with your ability to maintain your boat. Tons of respect.
Haha thanks (: I enjoy it
Absolutely! I’ve been doing boat bottoms for 40 years and Lauren you are beyond beast mode!
recently i grind up my 30ft ...i can imagine how much efort you put there....also finished just in one day.....dammm girl you too good ...

Yes that was comical!
Always impressed with the care you put into the boat. Not because you're a woman. But because it's such a big boat. My daughter enjoys watching too :-)
My least favorite time to own a 50’ is during yard season haha. It makes me so happy that your daughter watches!!🥰

Well done Lauren. That was really hard work, but you did it!!!

Why, it’s good King Mako!
I too always hated the sanding process on boats. You were definitely in beast mode by doing it in one day.
😎😱
I don’t wanna have to go through it two days in a row😅
My back got sore just watching this video… lol

You are amazing, because your are doing everything on yourself at the boat, specially the haul.
You Must love your boat a lot.
Stay healthy Lauren
Great to see how you simply get stuck in and get the job done. Many a crew take way longer with more people to get the job done. You on the other hand just get into it. Huge kudos.
I hate to get dirty multiple days in a row… it’s a motivating factor haha

Lots of work. Have to do ours in the spring. So I am enjoying your videos on this.

The U.S. losing skipper was Dennis Connor. Australia won the best of 7 races 4 to 3. I guess this is now standard on sailing yachts, and I see Lauren's yacht has it.
wing keel allows it to be a shorter "shoal keel"
That bottom side looks great. The boat is not bad either.
Really enjoy everything you share on this channel. I wait with anticipation for your next one. Ever consider sailing downunder? An epic trip but I do think you would enjoy what Australia offers someone like yourself.
Vacuum- much less dust. Get the right tools for the job. :) well done!

That’s a hard working woman right there good job
I know there isn't a next time sanding, but if there is a next time, a dust extractor is a big help in many ways.
I would be happy to cook for her. I admire her 4x4 attitude.

I’m just curious … maybe in my next life I could be so brave ??
I’m just curious about your/young/female life perspective ✨
Many that’s for the window into a world I never imagined .
Thank you for sharing your life 🙏

We didn’t have the navigation tools they have today. THAT’s the bigger difference. Electronics in general have changed things a lot.
Oh wow, oh me oh my..
But we did have better music 😂@DanielTiffany-o8i
Great job Lauren … you’re a real trooper….. good luck 🤞

2 Months you are leaving your baby on the hard, hopefully we well hear from you soon
Anyway enjoy your time off 🇨🇦 Cdn. Dave
Great job and video! Do you also check the keel bolts? I've heard that is important.
😂😂😂😂😂That 5:00 so funny Laura 😂😂😂😂😂
Lauren, can you explain the recent for pickling your water Maker? And what's the purpose for doing so?
No freaking way!!!!!!!! OMG, GrL, you are amazing!!!!!! After 25 yrs doing this ....we now pay $$$ for this!!!
If you haul in Ft. Laud. you can stay with family and odds are not have the mosquito problem.
What an incredible amount of work, Lauren. Do you ever quit?😂
That’s just amazing what you achieved.
You're a trooper! It will be awesome! Again! One day, it will all be finished, for a minute!!😂❤
nice job
