£19K? Absolute bargain... Minke is worth far more than that already and her resale value will only continue to rise... crack on heroes! Nothing but admiration for you both so just keep on doing it your way... it's working!
You two deserve every success that comes your way!! What price does one put on happiness? It really doesn’t matter what it costs so long as you can afford it AND you’re living the dream!!!
An incredibly low total, mostly due to your hard work and resourcefulness, along with the help of your supporters. Well done you two, here’s to you, cheers! 💥👍🏻😁🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙄
FYI my vote is to go buy a 100% rebuilt engine, perhaps a different make that is much more reliable and will still fit in your boat, because that one looks a bit of a troublemaker. And I would not go electric, I’ve followed a few other UA-cam sailors who have tried, and most of them have pulled their electric engines out after a year or so because they said the current technology just doesn’t have the power or the battery endurance for vital cruising operations.
wow, amazing , you only spent $6000. You really got your money s worth. Your boat is aleady worth this, given that after engine replacement it will really be worth a lot more. And you lived on it for a whole year. Love your channel:)
The biggest profit you can ever make, can never be measured via money! Life, love, happiness, independence, health, adventure, achievement, sharing, respect for others/nature, gratitude, humility, positivity and friendship! You two are already in profit to the tune of millions. Ever more of us try explaining that to the powers that shouldn’t be a’la Davos. I hope they can’t ignore us too much longer. God bless and thanks for sharing!
It is absolutely worth it. You have a home that moves with you. With real estate prices on the rise a live aboard boat makes a lot of sense with only a fraction of the cost.
Blood, Sweat, Stress, Money, and thankfully no tears :) I think we can all appreciate that you 3 have build your little (an actual understatement) sailing paradise on merit/character! Not to mention that Yoshi is PRICELESS! X from Amsterdam!
The best part is you are doing it. The way the world has been the past 2 years profit is irrelevant. You have put a smile on many faces and have been learning and having fun while doing so. Thank you, Steve.
For what you spent, where you are, and the enjoyment you got out of it, plus the opportunity to make the awesome video's I think it was excellent value for money 👍🏼 Pretty sure the labour wasn't entirely free, they really came for Nadiyana's cooking 🤤🤤🤤
All your viewers are pulling for you. Even with occasional critisism , I believe every on of us, want to see you succeed. Well done guys, and good luck
Well done you two. You've done an amazing job, in not only educating yourselves but us too. It's been an incredible year. Here's to 2022 with good luck and a fair wind
Great Job you guys. I am so impressed with your tenacity and endurance taking on this project. After replacing the motor and finishing up the inside I doubt you will ever make a profit greater than $10K (+/- $5K) which is still something to bank BUT you got all the experience, grew your channel, showed us a side of your personality easier to see on the hard, and will now have a nice comfortable, "fast" platform for years of sailing experiences. You guys are winners. Wishing you a great 2022.
Don’t beat yourselves up over cost. All boats are worth what they’re worth to the owner. Only when your not happy with the boat is when it costs too much. If your happy, and don’t forget this is your home, then it’s worth whatever you spend. That’s why we have money to spend it. Food, shelter, happiness Priceless. Enjoy keep up the good work Roy
I used to watcha few other sailing channels a lot but you are the only cats i keep watching regularly. Love the effort and appreciate your sharing. It's your genuine personalities that keep me coming back. Thanks for keeping it real!!! 加油！！！！！ 愛你們和你們的狗。活在當下
Money well spent if you ask me. You both are happy and healthy. And I love your channel. What more could you want? Thanks so much and keep up the great work.
20k with the boat and all found- fantastic and you have had fun, learnt a lot, and have so many adventures ahead. Even if you break even or don’t lose very much this is the cost of your accommodation and having great memories for years to come . Keep the faith!👍💰👌😎
I'm especially happy after some jerks in the Restoring Fibreglass Boats group told you how you'd regret it and it wouldn't be worth the effort. Remember the genius that said buying a new boat would be cheaper? lol
Wow, you did well on the costs. I am amazed how much you both managed to save. This actually is very inspiring, makes me think anybody can do it. I think you both got lucky with finding a great cat for the price.
I watch a number of similar channels and have to say you three (yes, Yoshi too) are my favorite. Keep it up. I know you don't want to spend money on the engine, but get it rebuilt and you will be so happy after. Can't wait to see what this year brings you.
In my opinion, yes, the engine costs were worth it. You guys have run that engine for hours between West coast France and where you currently are. You've been able to motor sail and navigate in "protected" waterways so what you spent so far was worth it? Does it need a completely overhaul? HELL YEAH! But it's been running (with hiccups) so far.
The experience you have had so far is priceless and I would suggest that your lifestyle is inexpensive and also very sustainable. Lovely to see you guys reunited again.
Aye m8’s, I’d say that it’s not even a question at that budget. It is already a bargain from start and on. With that cat you can go anywhere. Maintenance and wise boat handling will take you all the way. And some more fishing 🎣
Wow! You are both coming across as so much more confident and so much more positive. I think that 2022 is going to be really interesting. It is so nice , as a viewer, to see young, positive and intelligent people doing something worthwhile! Have a terrific year, guys! Soon, 100k subs!
Both of you have put in a lot of hours fixing that boat , you have managed to save a fortune through hard work . Because you have spent such a small amount of money , a new engine might be achievable .
You've both done an awesome job for that amount of money! Amazing what you can achieve with hard work and perserverance 💪 thanks for the info and can't wait to see the future upgrades too 😁
👍🏼👍🏼worth it Wildlings !!! Adventurous, careful and frugal shoestring sailors that you are, you keep it real and can make Minke fit-for-purpose for the horizons that you choose. Happy and loving crew that you have, says it all really. Go Wildlings go
Great job of not giving in when the keels started to leak. I think that was the pivotal point . The thing that you add to the sailing ⛵️ community is a window of what it’s like to be a U.K. sailor. The challenge of not sailing in tropical waters is your largest obstacle. You’ve also highlighted the challenges of living on anchor in the Med which I’m sure we all found helpful . Like UMA , your facing the challenge of modernising an old boat . What your doing is so important. Thank you, I will be buying coffees soon
You guys have done great with the new boat. I'm looking forward to the motor refresh whether it ends up as a rebuild or a swap. It will certainly give you a level of confidence to expand your adventures. Stay happy and safe.
Amazingly low costings, all said and done. I hope the success story of the cat means you can really stretch your wings next year and go farther afield. Well done. Sterling effort (I still say you should have replaced the rattly solar fan tho! 😂). Maybe the biggest expense next year will be the engine (or it's replacement) but the peace of mind it will bring will be worth it. Enjoy your winter downtime.
Best channel ever, love how good you two work together..have done an amazing job on your vessel.Job well done guys. Money well spent I'd say after all it is your home.Be safe and happy.😎🐕👍
You have done as much work as possible! Getting a working engine makes the boat worth much more! My old car had that engine as the engine! Seemed to take it 10 min to get to 80mph but it would run all day long on one tank ! Loved the car ! It was damaged by a hit and run in front of our house! My insurance gave me nothing because " You don't know if the person had insurance or not! So we are not paying to get it fixed!"! Had to sell it for Junk!
I feel you, I had a hit and run on my vw bus and had to fix my door, I was rearended when I was 11, smacked the back of my head on the back window, then rearended by a drunk driver again with head smack again, and technical total, had to buy it back as salvage, but AAA was great about it, and I got chiropractic for a year or so. My rack saved the truck's frame, but sent all that momentum into ME, mixed blessing. The tailgate and bumper are not to spec but I was able to drive off. I consider myself lucky.
Hello and Hola Mark and Nadiyana, from Spain to Spain? Thank you so much for continuing to entertain and educate us. Every Saturday morning, over breakfast, we tune into your latest episode and cheer you on. We live in Javea on the Spanish Costa Blanca. If you find yourselves in Javea or maybe nearby Denia, we'd love to take you both to lunch/dinner and show you around the area. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Hey Kids! Been following you guys here for a while & this vid was very informative & important. Helps me refortify assurance of m'self procuring a minor(?) fixer upper catamaran & tasking it here on m'side of the pond. Thanks & fair winds..
Nice one guys. At the end of the day it's a lot cheaper then throwing money away at rent and you now have something to show for your money and also a fun adventure boat. Great Job.
Not as much as I thought, great effort guys, now before you think about upgrading your solar or batteries have a good look through will prowse channel, that guy really goes into all things solar and off grid, very highly recommend that channel for you guys
After hearing what you guys spent on refitting and the catamaran it self, I think you guys made out like a bandit. Great job and the lesson learned will do you guys well in future refitting’s.
Wildlings Sailing ⛵ in da building ! Great to see you guys again. Shout-out to Yoshi, what it do ? Thanks for sharing, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏
I think most people misunderstand the value of things. What someone else might pay normally is far less than what it would cost you to replace that same item. Keep it afloat and ship shape. Time and service are the real return. This house is 112 this year, In some places it would cost me $2500.00 a month to rent this property. But having it all paid for allows my Wife and I to live as We choose. That today is priceless! Each month as it has for the past 3 years it's value grows. Like your boat things do wear out and break down. But it's still far cheaper than renting. Hang on and fight for what you own and you will win.
What you gained in life experience is invaluable. Money comes and goes. Life only happens once...having bought inexpensive boats, fixing them up and incorporating them into my partner and I's life the rewards are simple. Those priceless moments, when you pause for a moment, in awe of the water, the sky, the sail and the boat in the water. The feel of the wheel and power of the boat in your hands or look across the table and enjoy a meal with friends after a day on the water how can you even put a price on that...you can't.
reasonable i think ... one price you failed to post is your labor or , if you had to "pay" for it a big savings which makes it all worthwhile you two did an amazing job and you got Yoshi as a gift he loves you guys so much cheers
Well done you two, its definitely worth it. Alot of hard work has gone into that Minky. Hats off to both of you. Somebody said to me once. If you want Fun it costs money. It definitely helps that's for sure. Your gonna have the best time. May you both have a fantastic 2022. Keep the videos coming and the cash will Come. You're living the dream for lots of us. Looking forward to your next chapter. All the best you guys 😀 😎
Remember you can't buy your health and you too and saves a lot of money by doing most of it's not all the work yourself and learning it's like a dream but now you've woken up and you're there have fun enjoy always Freddie
That engine was useless until you threw some money at it, 800 Euros doesn't seem too bad even if it wasn't a permanent fix, you made it useful again. A good mechanic with a well equipped workshop and plenty of spare parts could get the engine up and running again fairly easily, it's not too far gone but you are not in that position. If you do it yourself it will be an experiment and a learning experience and you know full well it will be an ongoing and never ending saga !
A couple I know are sailing the Caribbean put his solar on something that looks like your design but the difference is his panel bar swivels so he can move the panels to collect more sun than being stationary ! You might consider it for your boat !
Supprised for all the work you havent spent more. Your both doing a great job, and have so much more knowledge about the boat, it will prove valuble in the end. NOW get back to work.🤣 2x👍
Guys, I believe that the money you have spent on your home is more than worth it. I have a home which both my wife and myself spent 300€ to get over the past 30 years to purchase.We love it and will spend the rest of our lives there. We still have 1 year left on the morgage to go. I am 59 years old and have worked all my life rearing my kids etc. You guys have an amazing home which you have no morgage 👍Enjoy the journey. I envy you both both am so happy for you too. Guys , hard work , but please remember, life is for living. Enjoy it and continue doing what you do. And bye the way , make babies, Xx 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
This was an excellent breakdown of your costs for a full year....it had to take a bunch of work! I was actually surprised that it was not more....thank you both!!
I ❤ everything about you two as separate people and as a couple.. and am really impressed by your efforts to make a go of this new home which must not always be peaches and ice cream joyous. I feel like you both are dedicated to a realistic future goal thar will be worth the effort time and money for the return of learning and sharing the ups and downs with each other .... and us of course so many hours spent filming and editing ... Happy New Year and may the Light of Love ❤ be yours now and always. Love your smiles...
Hello Mark and your wonderful wife and Yoshi thank you for the update I always enjoy watching your videos I'm sure you did not have too much fun doing the refit but you did learn a lot I don't even know the name of all the parts you just mentioned in the video but as long as they help keep your boat afloat that's all that matters you all deserve a rest after all of this keep up the good work and I wish you well on your decision with the motor probably you will get that straightened out soon can't wait to see your upcoming videos. God bless all three of you be safe stay healthy watching from Roseville California USA
you guys have done an awesome job on your boat and I've enjoyed watching you make it seaworthy. Good luck in the year ahead and I hope you do well with the new/rebuilt engine. I've been watching sailing channels like yours for the past two years of the lockdown and am making plans to get a boat myself to live on and cruise. Thanks for the inspiration!
£19K? Absolute bargain... Minke is worth far more than that already and her resale value will only continue to rise... crack on heroes! Nothing but admiration for you both so just keep on doing it your way... it's working!
I really expected the amount to be much higher. Good job getting that boat ready and able to sail.
The time spent on the windows was well worth it. You saved a fortune on the windows. Well done
The education you've acquired is priceless. Even if you can't sell Minke for what you put into her, the knowledge gained is a balancing factor.
You two deserve every success that comes your way!!
What price does one put on happiness? It really doesn’t matter what it costs so long as you can afford it AND you’re living the dream!!!
An incredibly low total, mostly due to your hard work and resourcefulness, along with the help of your supporters. Well done you two, here’s to you, cheers! 💥👍🏻😁🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙄

You two are already in profit to the tune of millions.
Ever more of us try explaining that to the powers that shouldn’t be a’la Davos. I hope they can’t ignore us too much longer.
God bless and thanks for sharing!
Yoshi is such a spoiled little dog! Lucky dog.
Roughly 20k for a year’s living, not bad.
Having a UA-cam channel with the fans + friends.... priceless 👍🏼
It is absolutely worth it. You have a home that moves with you. With real estate prices on the rise a live aboard boat makes a lot of sense with only a fraction of the cost.
Blood, Sweat, Stress, Money, and thankfully no tears :)
I think we can all appreciate that you 3 have build your little (an actual understatement) sailing paradise on merit/character!
Not to mention that Yoshi is PRICELESS! X from Amsterdam!
The best part is you are doing it.
The way the world has been the past 2 years profit is irrelevant.
You have put a smile on many faces and have been learning and having fun while doing so.
Thank you, Steve.
Yes don’t forget us that watch all the commercials so that you hopefully get paid love you guys
If you two are happy then its worth it.Also all your work is what makes the channel
For what you spent, where you are, and the enjoyment you got out of it, plus the opportunity to make the awesome video's I think it was excellent value for money 👍🏼
Pretty sure the labour wasn't entirely free, they really came for Nadiyana's cooking 🤤🤤🤤

Just the best dam sailing channel on UA-cam.
Very good and appreciated that you are transparent with your expenses…
Wow, you did well on the costs. I am amazed how much you both managed to save. This actually is very inspiring, makes me think anybody can do it. I think you both got lucky with finding a great cat for the price.

I keep saying, go to an agricultural area and find a 14 year old that has mastered tractor motors. Girl or guy, someone who grew up working on these.
@@willisgemutlich2608 yes they use the diesel tracktor every day and do the maintenance themselves. in principle only the cooling system is different
Engines tend to break down for instance at the worst possible moment whilst at sea.Wothwhile spending a bit on them.
@Uncle Joe maybe use diesel engine without ECU for simple maintenance
The experience you have had so far is priceless and I would suggest that your lifestyle is inexpensive and also very sustainable. Lovely to see you guys reunited again.
Aye m8’s, I’d say that it’s not even a question at that budget. It is already a bargain from start and on. With that cat you can go anywhere. Maintenance and wise boat handling will take you all the way. And some more fishing 🎣

Worth every cent. I love your show. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Really well done! Brilliant job! And of course, Yoshi adopted you. He’s worth a £Million at least. 👍🙂
Definitely worth it, looking forward to seeing more refit videos 😊
You've both done an awesome job for that amount of money! Amazing what you can achieve with hard work and perserverance 💪 thanks for the info and can't wait to see the future upgrades too 😁
That is one amazing job! That is way much lower that I expected! well done!
Wow I'm genuinely impressed with much you guys have spent, it's alot less than I expected! Good luck with the engine!!!
Dear Wildlings! You got a "lot of boats" for 20,000 euros, it was very worth it, I really enjoyed the refit videos! Good luck, safe waters and winds!
👍🏼👍🏼worth it Wildlings !!!
Adventurous, careful and frugal shoestring sailors that you are, you keep it real and can make Minke fit-for-purpose for the horizons that you choose.
Happy and loving crew that you have, says it all really.
Go Wildlings go
Look how calm & good doggy is !!! Beautiful boat dog !!!
Great job of not giving in when the keels started to leak. I think that was the pivotal point . The thing that you add to the sailing ⛵️ community is a window of what it’s like to be a U.K. sailor. The challenge of not sailing in tropical waters is your largest obstacle. You’ve also highlighted the challenges of living on anchor in the Med which I’m sure we all found helpful . Like UMA , your facing the challenge of modernising an old boat . What your doing is so important. Thank you, I will be buying coffees soon
Don’t think about the resale value, just think about the memories and adventures you guys have in the boat. You can’t buy memories
Yoshi says: 'Worth it!'
I’m envious of how y’all done all of that work for such little money. Great job to both of you!!
You guys have done great with the new boat. I'm looking forward to the motor refresh whether it ends up as a rebuild or a swap. It will certainly give you a level of confidence to expand your adventures. Stay happy and safe.
Amazingly low costings, all said and done. I hope the success story of the cat means you can really stretch your wings next year and go farther afield. Well done. Sterling effort (I still say you should have replaced the rattly solar fan tho! 😂).
Maybe the biggest expense next year will be the engine (or it's replacement) but the peace of mind it will bring will be worth it.
Enjoy your winter downtime.
You guys are AWESOME!
You have saved this catamaran and are transforming it into a home that you can sail to new places. Look forward to future episodes. 👏👏
Best channel ever, love how good you two work together..have done an amazing job on your vessel.Job well done guys. Money well spent I'd say after all it is your home.Be safe and happy.😎🐕👍
You two are living the life you want to live! Good work, and keep it up!
You have done as much work as possible! Getting a working engine makes the boat worth much more! My old car had that engine as the engine! Seemed to take it 10 min to get to 80mph but it would run all day long on one tank ! Loved the car ! It was damaged by a hit and run in front of our house! My insurance gave me nothing because " You don't know if the person had insurance or not! So we are not paying to get it fixed!"! Had to sell it for Junk!
terrible story - hope you changed insurance companies.
I feel you, I had a hit and run on my vw bus and had to fix my door, I was rearended when I was 11, smacked the back of my head on the back window, then rearended by a drunk driver again with head smack again, and technical total, had to buy it back as salvage, but AAA was great about it, and I got chiropractic for a year or so. My rack saved the truck's frame, but sent all that momentum into ME, mixed blessing. The tailgate and bumper are not to spec but I was able to drive off. I consider myself lucky.
Great breakdown! And thank you for helping dispell the "boats are always expensive" myth!
Cheers from Guam! 🇬🇺
Considering how the boat looks and functions now, you have done extremely well on that budget.
Awesome guys, Its been great from the start untill now, Cant wait to see whats next :)
well done definitely worth all your hard work, but don’t forget your labour is free so estimate to date will be doubled. Keep it up. Xx

It does not depend if the boat was worth it - what's important is if your experiences were worth it!
You forgot cutting boards ;) Good job team, looking forward to a fun year.
I think you two did OK with your expenses.
You have done really well on that budget and got a great experience doing it! Well done and the best of luck to you both!!
Great job guys!
After hearing what you guys spent on refitting and the catamaran it self, I think you guys made out like a bandit. Great job and the lesson learned will do you guys well in future refitting’s.
Thank you for the great detail on expenses! You are an amazing couple on an amazing journey !
Great episode I'm impressed by your perseverance you should be proud your hard work is paying off good luck 👍
Wildlings Sailing ⛵ in da building ! Great to see you guys again. Shout-out to Yoshi, what it do ? Thanks for sharing, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏
I think you have done well, and you do live cheaply, and well. Brilliant
So glad the puppy picked you folks for his forever home.
The best experience in paradise lifestyle.. soon next month my turn to have this boat and enjoy my lifetime at the ocean till end of time.

a big savings which makes it all worthwhile
you two did an amazing job
and you got Yoshi as a gift
he loves you guys so much
cheers
And the experience is priceless!
Both of you have worked so hard on this project. You should commend yourselves on what you've done so far.
You two have done a lot of hard work. I can't wait to see how the next year goes. Cheers!!
Well done you two, its definitely worth it. Alot of hard work has gone into that Minky. Hats off to both of you. Somebody said to me once. If you want Fun it costs money. It definitely helps that's for sure. Your gonna have the best time. May you both have a fantastic 2022. Keep the videos coming and the cash will Come. You're living the dream for lots of us.

NOW get back to work.🤣 2x👍
Stacking Skills! If it fit your timeline and expectations then it was so worth it - Stacking Skills!
Yoshi is adorable ☺️
Guys, I believe that the money you have spent on your home is more than worth it. I have a home which both my wife and myself spent 300€ to get over the past 30 years to purchase.We love it and will spend the rest of our lives there. We still have 1 year left on the morgage to go. I am 59 years old and have worked all my life rearing my kids etc.
You guys have an amazing home which you have no morgage 👍Enjoy the journey.
I envy you both both am so happy for you too.
Guys , hard work , but please remember, life is for living. Enjoy it and continue doing what you do. And bye the way , make babies, Xx

I think it's well worth it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for a great video. Best wishes for the new year.
This was an excellent breakdown of your costs for a full year....it had to take a bunch of work! I was actually surprised that it was not more....thank you both!!
yes, the kindness of others really helps. They are kind and a great family and I really enjoy and look forward to every video
you forgot to mention you got a free dog out if it too, and that's priceless....:)
Good job guys!! Excellent team work
Money well spent! 👍
So it was about 2k / month to live and sail, and now you own a refitted Cat.
Obviously worth it.
All the fun and the knowledge gained has a lot of value beyond the money you spent. So worth it!
I ❤ everything about you two as separate people and as a couple.. and am really impressed by your efforts to make a go of this new home which must not always be peaches and ice cream joyous. I feel like you both are dedicated to a realistic future goal thar will be worth the effort time and money for the return of learning and sharing the ups and downs with each other .... and us of course so many hours spent filming and editing ... Happy New Year and may the Light of Love ❤ be yours now and always. Love your smiles...
Hello Mark and your wonderful wife and Yoshi thank you for the update I always enjoy watching your videos I'm sure you did not have too much fun doing the refit but you did learn a lot I don't even know the name of all the parts you just mentioned in the video but as long as they help keep your boat afloat that's all that matters you all deserve a rest after all of this keep up the good work and I wish you well on your decision with the motor probably you will get that straightened out soon can't wait to see your upcoming videos. God bless all three of you be safe stay healthy watching from Roseville California USA
Ohh my fav channel
I envy your sailboat journey. Super fun!
you guys have done an awesome job on your boat and I've enjoyed watching you make it seaworthy. Good luck in the year ahead and I hope you do well with the new/rebuilt engine. I've been watching sailing channels like yours for the past two years of the lockdown and am making plans to get a boat myself to live on and cruise. Thanks for the inspiration!
