Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 27
In this episode, a pacific morning quickly changes when we have to start destroying more parts of our boat.
༄
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted 70ft wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the works needed were a lot more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

Hello everyone!
First of all: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all amazing moms out there! Your kindness and strength sure make the world a better place.
Second: Last Wednesday we posted a bonus episode telling more ABOUT US! It was really fun to film! If you still haven't seen it, go check it out!
Third: WE HAVE A WEBSITE NOW! For more information about the project, ourselves, the boat and FAQs check: www.sailingyaba.com
We hope you enjoy it! Have a nice Sunday everyone!
Mothering Sunday in UK is March 14th but Mother's day in the States is on May 9th , so it's the 9th in South America to. Not sure about Father's Day.
It's Mother's Day today, here in Greece. :-)
was it mothers day in most countries??
Don't you think it was remarkable that you sailed to this boatyard without major incident? You can understand why a lot of us watching were worried for you! It's certainly an amazing refit. In the UK you would have to win the lottery just to pay for the replacement timber!
I think it was a miracle the boat did not break apart and sink on the way to the refit.
@@davidk4940 Any wave over a meter and "SNAP".
@@davidk4940 Agreed. I think it was only inertia holding it together. Good job they love the ocean, they could have been right in it!
@@showmemo3686 I follow a few channels but this one is actually my favorite. Yah just never know what's going to happen next. What? The deck is rotten? No. I have deep respect for these two kids. They will renovate Yaba. They will hit their goals. They will travel far and wide and I am jealous. And anything they do in the future, this project will forever chart their course and they will be able to accomplish anything.
@@davidk4940 I would have run a mile if I had seen this yacht at the start but full respect to them for undertaking such a huge project and I really hope they manage to finish it now.
Nice expensive electric windlass, the boat came free with the puchase of it ;-))
Normally you might replace an anchor and anchor winch on a boat. This is the first time I have seen someone replace a boat on an anchor and winch.
Great progress, though!
Hallo guys , I am wondering why you didn’t decide to buy a new boat maybe done in a better yard where they dry up the wood for years so is lasting long . You asked why it is rotten in such a short time …….. because it is fresh wood . It is absolutely not worth to change it with other fresh one it is going to be rotten in two years , maybe less . Run away from there . They are steeling your money .this kind of boat have to stay out of the sea for at least 8 month a year . That’s why they use fresh wood staying out of the water it does not move too much … it is fresh
In the Caribbean, especially Guyana they have little or no klim to dry the wood. So the use whatever they have. You're right though. It would be interested to see.
I really want to wish you guys luck with this project. I really do! But I have to say this. I have been around boats my entire adult life and teen years. I have a pretty good seaman's eye. And everywhere my eye goes I see more rotten wood and very serious safety issues. As your guy is cutting away on your safety rails with his electric chain saw I can see behind him the extensive wood rot in the cabin house and topsides. The rot does not seem to end. When is enough enough you two. If you wanted a third world built boat in the end of this you will have something that is not even as seaworthy as a new third world built boat. You guy's are piecing together new problems on top of old serious problems. God I really do pray that all you do is live on this boat in some protected harbor area. I fear you will take this boat to sea and suffer some catastrophic hull failure with a sinking. You will never find marine insurance to protect your investment. all your time and money lost. I also pray that this vessel does not kill one or both of you. I am very serious Stay In Port !!! Do not go to sea in this boat!!
Heh guys!! What a project! An interesting adventure for a young couple. You will indeed learn from this rebuild. Many will follow you through the process. What I appreciate is old world craftmanship still being used to keep vessels afloat.
@Sailing Yabá *_ Here's a really good tip.... take ALL your running lines/sheets and put them in a Washing Machine and give them a good wash ending with a Softener.... BAM! They're all like NEW!! _*
Just a bucket or they will knot up and unravel, not to mention ruin the washer....
@@saylaveenadmearedead I put them inside pillow cases if doing in a machine. Works fine :-)
You won't have the lightest and fastest ship on the oceans, but everyone gonna wanna party at your place! 🤗👍
To resume people thought ... we understand your goal to refit and make it pay by internet but the way this is done will make a boat not safe compare to a brand new one.
Also from my point of view, such a big boat is not safe at all to drive : i have been sailing for 30 years and competitive race sailing but i am worred for your safety.
This boat is good for living neer the coast but i would not travel with it when the wind is hard evey action in such a big boat is 20 time more difficult, the pb is not the boat to be strong but the humain who becomes weak with such a monster boat like that.
Having seen some of the comments below, I think I would agree it is the most rotten boat I have ever seen. I think it would have been much cheaper to just get the yard to build you a new boat, just how you wanted it than try and rebuild this old crock!! How on earth you are funding this little indulgence defeats me. However, your innocense is charming and the yard seem remarkably capable given the few tools they have.
MP, your language skills are amazing!!
Not to be rude, but I think it would of been better to have a new boat built, because, that is basically is what you are doing..........
I'm also concerned with all the use of iron nails and spikes in the boat. The iron interacts with wood to cause 'iron sickness' which greatly increases wood deterioration. Add in the salt from salt water spray and it makes it even worse.
@@ian-c.01 If you say so.
So, now that we’ve replaced the bottom half of the boat, not it’s time to begin replacing the top half. In the mean time we’re hoping to gain enough patrons so we can end up with a completely new boat.
True - there's a lot that's painful about this channel.
For all the work being done not only building but deconstructing, you might as well have measured the pieces and built a brand new boat. I'll bet it would have been stronger because the ribs could have been one piece rather than the Frankenhull it is now.
If you say so.
Seems like every time you chip off a flake of paint, the cash register bell goes off in the boat builder's mind.
A boat yard's dream boat
@@rjcoady21 Nothing better to destroy everything a person has worked their entire lives for than marriage.
B O A T = Break Out Another Thousand !
It's a rotten boat.. completely.. I love u guys.. but this boat is crap.. waste of money.. because even after refit it will remain rotten.. boat builder's trying their best..
I totally pmsl when you say the word REFIT. It is neither that or renovation. There will be very little left of the original boat when you are done, so better to call it a 'REBUILD'.
Yaba rotted prematurely and very near completely. Was the decay a result in part of the original construction methods and materials? Are the same methods being used to repair it? For example bare wood butted and or overlapping bare wood, iron nails, no bedding compound, etc. It would be very sad to see Yaba II suffer a similar fate because evidence of causes of problems were not remedied in the rebuild and in fact were replicated. Please learn from the mistakes of the original build, if any. Buena suerte.
Is there anything on this nightmare of a boat that is not rotten? Futile. Building a boat backwards.
I was just thinking the same. But this boat will be so nice and safe afterwards.
Did you not get a survey when purchasing this yacht? Makes UA-cam videos, but one has too ask...
If you plan to sail the boat with just the two of you, get rid of that stupid bowsprit altogether.
So much iron. How come no bronze. Is bronze expensive in Brazil it is in the USA.
This is one serious refit. I've been following since episode 1. Amazing to see the progress you have made so far. That boat is just all rot. Amazing it made it to the yard. Good luck guys!
My tots were that you should have got the boat for free. Because its 100% rotten. Even the deck house looks terrible.
This project boat is a Nightmare,but i enjoy the video and i want to see the final result .
Can you say TERMITES!! I hope you noticed that there is large exposed holes of rot in the bow stem. I hate to say this but that Bow Stem is certainly suspect for serious interior Rot!! You must dig it all out! You can't just fill with epoxy filler and forget about it. That stem should be replaced.
@SailingYaba, will there be any original wood left in the boat once you're done? Without asking specifically, what is the approximate budget for the restoration of the boat? Would you do this all again, or would you have looked for something in better condition? All the best! It is an interesting journey you've started.
Ok now I am taking bets. Yaba or the cathedral of Notre Dame which finishes first and which costs less. Stay strong.
There's nothing left. You bought a pig in a poke.
I have a confession. I enjoy watching your progress but I thought there's no way you guy's could pull this off. Never been happier to be so wrong. You and your team are doing great and I look forward to seeing the finished product. Stay safe and very best of luck.
You are not wrong yet
Be nice to hear a bit more about the boatyard that is doing the work.
be nice to hear what the skie's were like when you were young ?
I have never in my life seen so much rot in a wooden boat before.
The previous owners maintenance budget was $75 a year and half of that went to beer.
When the wood roite" like that someone may have used the wrong paint, for one latex paint will do, or cause the wood to do this very thing, because it doesn't let the wood breath. On the other hand oil based pants allow the wood to breath and not roit from the inside out! I hope this helps.
I think that the finished boat will be like the original boat in the same way as a broom that's been fitted with a new head and a new handle.
You ' triggered ' something in my mind.. lol
My Grandfathers Axe.
Very curious about a comment you made in the last video about if y’all own the boat or something? Did I miss something? It’s y’all’s boat right?
I was thinking the same thing, he even said Spoiler Alert when he made the comment! I would hate to think people are donating to a project that isn't theirs or will be sold because they got in over their heads! But It's worth it to subscribe just to watch the shipbuilders work their magic!
At least you should not paint the new deck parts. Thats a major mistatake. Water comes inside mircoscopic cracks in paint and never find the way out. The result you see on your boat->paint looks ok, underneth the wood is rotten. Wood can handly moisture very well without rotten away, if it can dry again.
Check out old technics by oiling the wood, so the wood can regulate still the moisture. It makes u huge difference. I see wooden boats, more than 100 years old, unpainted, only oiled and nothing is rotten. I also see wooden boats painted with "modern" paint and its rooten like your boat after 10-15 years. Think about it.
This boat should definitely be renamed "Triggers Broom" (Only Fools & Horses ref) .. there will be no original wood left on this boat .. economic madness.
I have to ask, what did you actually pay for Yaba?
They paid 55'000 USD (Link in one of the earliest episodes)
its fascinating watching this ... and i am totally impressed by the work you are doing ... but i have to ask ... wouldnt it have been easier to build a boat from scratch ?
When I first saw this boat I felt it was more suitable for carrying 400 Haitians to America.
It could hold 500 now.
I have to admit, after hearing MP's story last week, I am in awe of her. Ben, as a man married for over 20 years, put a ring on her or she may swim away. As for Yaba, you guys are really making progress.
@@sicksteaneyen And life time alimony and half his pension...lol
In Brazil, if you live together for more than 5 years, sharing the same roof, you are as screwed (or even more) than you would be if legally married. lol
I watch in Awa at what you and the crew are doing the project is growing espotentially finding nothing but rot so I have to ask do you have any idea as to what this is costing to date , what are typical labour rates in you part of the world, and does the hardwood timber cost as it’s very expensive in thee UK.
Pelo geito vocês não vão aproveitar nada deste barco, ele está todo podre, porque vocês não contraíram um barco novo seria muito mais barato, e não teriam este trabalho todo.
With all the rotten wood you must be amazed that you made the sea journey to the craftsman marina alive, thank God.
i would like to know how mutch extra money it will cost you to fix this boat rather than making a new one.
It seem's non sens to me, except that it's fun to watch and that you hop to make money for this reason...
Just waiting for the boat to fold in on itself when they took the railing off. 😂He says ' We didnt know it was rotton'. I believe they should be saying 'i didnt realise this wasn' t rotton. Still if we're all watching for giggles they may be getting enough money from you tube to payfor it. So why not.
Hola amigos mi nombre Manuel fui mecánico naval estoy asombrado del trabajo que estáis efectuando es cómo un barco nuevo os deseo mucha suerte para terminarlo. Un saludo desde asturias España esperando que llegue el domingo para ver cómo. Avanzan los trabajos .
Huuum, I just noticed that some of the comments here, not very positive I must say, suddenly disappeared in the last hour or so...
Now, that's odd... 😳
Nothing odd about it. The site has acquired the characteristics of a cult.
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Any post that questions the purpose or techniques demonstrated or attempts to warn of blatantly poor workmanship is a threat to the site and its income stream. It is becoming obvious that "sailing yaba" is not the goal. The yard is raking in the cash, they will do whatever the naive owners ask, they are in business to make money, not tell customers that the project is a fool's errand.
Quanta madeira podre nesse barco, vocês foram uns heróis navegando com ele até este estaleiro.
Hey young talented ones, how can it be explained that the railing and posts are so rotten on 15 years old boat ? Poor choice of lumber ? 😳😳 Scary !!
PS J'entends aux nouvelles de ce soir que la situation de la Covid est critique dans la région de Manaus ( Amazonie) à cause d'un variant très contagieux. 😱
Et un manque de vaccin, grâce (?) a votre pésident...🙄
Enfin, santé et sécurité mes amis ! 😍
If ever there was an argument for getting a survey done before purchase this is it.
There's a "new" young couple, him a Brit and his Chinese wife, I watch.
@@marcryvon I believe it is called: 'Sailing Wildlings' and is wonderfully romantic and is refitted by themselves getting gritty & grimy, yet also keeping a positive attitude about it all.
@@marcryvon Chinese?
What a cluster F%€}...
But in the end it will still be very much a coastal boat. And how many hands needed to sail her
The Yaba chainsaw massacre....
I always take pictures of where all the fittings go before I take them all off . Makes it easier to put them back correctly.
With each passing episode I feel more and more like whoever built Yaba used the cheapest, poor quality materials possible. That much rot and damage after so little time goes beyond neglect.
Exactely what I tought. It's almost criminal !
I follow Leo (nice guy) of The Sampson co. rebuilding a sad, rotten wooden boat, Tally O, but it is/was a 100 years old ! Not 15 !! 😳
I just hope that the different woods they are using now is way better than the rotten one. I know nothing of the local species they're using.
Let's hope for the best ! 🤞 🙄
@@marcryvon and Leo is doing it right. As solid as.
You're stupid. They have the better wood of the world and tecnics used are centenary and reliable .
@@marcryvon how old is Yarba? Leo is doing a first class job and is a total perfectionist. Leo has gone to exceptional length and cost to get only the best wood. And the original Tally Ho, well there's nothing left to her. So, one could say, Tally Ho was originally built with shitty wood. We need to know the ages of both. I'ma not sure your making a good comparison. Brazilian carpentry should not compared English carpentry. The English are exceptional ship Wrights. The best in the world. The Brazilian ship wrights are exceptional and doing a lot with a little.
surely you could have built a new boat for what it is costing you to rebuild.
What do they do with all the old wood? I see all the wood by the Water Way
Why didn’t the bowsprit rot with the rest of the boat ? Must be different type of wood
Well the only thing that comes to mind is wow what a job you guys are getting done with the help from everyone. You are going to have one beautiful old vessel. I know it's costing quite a bit but I would love to be able to come and join you for a cruise somewhere someday when you're done. Wow great job with the help from everyone, always looking forward to your next video.
There seems so much more work to do every time I tune in. You guys must be getting fed up.
Yes, Tell us about the dog! He's the real star of the show!
tell us about the sky when you were young ?
Wow, the rot seems endless. Are we sure it's not easier / cheaper / faster to just build a new boat???
They are building a new boat, Yaba is a set of plans at 1:1 scale.
How about an update on the project budget.
It’s like building a new boat and using the old boat as a template 😉 I’m sure it’s going to take some time to finish and by then the channel has grown way beyond 100k subs and lots of interesting videos posted. I can’t wait for the adventure diving videos! Don’t give up !
i beg you please do something about the incessant wind noise in every ep
Love those safety thongs 😉👷♂️ at 17:39
Sorry to say but good luck on this monstrosity, what kind of wood was this boat built with?
$1 says the main mast has significant rot and has to be taken down.
Will you refit the boat exact? Or customized it, like the placement of the anchor and such
Hello friends,
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the little chat you had with all your friends that are taking this journey with you. Also to wish MP a happy mothers day because, if you're not careful, that sweet little dog, that adores you two, will become your child and share your adventures in the years to come. believe it or not, I would change places with that little black bundle of love, just to share the adventured with you. Keep coming back for these little chats so we will stay up to date with all that's happening .
Love, Johnnie
I must say I was skeptical to your project in the beginning. A young couple with a huge rotten boat dragged up on the beach. O lord. But now I see that you go about this completely different than I anticipated. I'm impressed. You will end up with a supersolid boat that will last your lifetime. Congratulations.
That was a tough one to watch, you guys have a lot of heart!
The gunwale is pronounced "gunnel" !!!
I want 2 know the labor and material costs..
Wow, the challenge just gets bigger and bigger, but so glad you guys still have your passion, well done, it'll be fantastic when she's done, long way to go yet though! 👌
please be smart and take an aluminum mast, instead of lumber
I am not sure if you addressed this question but... Why did you choose to rebuild Yaba Vs buying an new boat.. I gotta imagine the costs have to be close to the same???
Pretty much looks like the boat sat at the bottom of the ocean for 2 months till the owner realized for how bad if shape its in
Ouch!
I really do think it may have been cheaper to build a new boat then tear that one apart and then build a boat
Just caught a glimpse of the cabin side, it looks like there is rot there as well. The paint is very loose, indicating moisture underneath.
Given that UA-cam is contributing to cost of rebuild, would it not be courteous to highlight some costs and expenses?
i've read you comment, so now i am privileged to see the contents of your bank-account, see how stupid that looks?
what were the skie's like when you were young ?
would it have been cheaper to just have them build an entire boat from scratch? Im realy curious if there is any reason behind the financial reason for taking every piece out and replacing it rather than just building an entire boat off of the same measurements/ spec. Kind of like the "TallyHo". At least in the tallyHo the original lasted for around 100 years.
Great job stimulating the local economy. Hopefully there was a big chest of gold hidden somewhere on board. It is fun to watch.
Why would you rebuild a boat with so much rot
For a 10 yr old boat its hard to believe how much rot it has, It must have been made from that rare South American "spongewood" that people talk about :-)
This episode confirms what a lot of us have already said. The whole boat is rotten, I think they honestly do not care. They know the boat is what makes the channel and gives them an income to not need to get a job ever again.If it takes another 2 years, who cares. Very clever people, really.

Hey...keep breathing. It’s going to be alright. Just remodeling a home that’s all.
So....where are you two staying during all of this?
Do a show and tell of a normal day off? Would love to see it.
Keep smiling!
You almost got bitten by a spider at 14:13
You should be marking all the hardware locations on the deck too along with taking measured picks from the stern
Holly crap, more chocolate cake. Where did you but that boat? You need to sue the surveyors you used to check the boat out. 🤣😂🤣
Did you buy this boat without looking at it?
Wow, I am amazed at how big that schooner is....I also wish I had the confidence to take on such a huge project like this. Looking good guys!
yeah, imagine the haul out costs each year. send ya broke even without the fuel to sail it

Hola desde Cádiz, donde se unen el Atlántico y el Mediterráneo. Mis felicitaciones para esta plantilla de carpinteros de ribera (en castellano se diferencia ribera con b, de rivera con v, rivera con v es la orilla de una zona acuática, como la rivera de un río es la orilla, y los carp. de ribera son los que trabajan en las faenas de madera de los barcos). Cosas de la ortografía que nos hace grandes. Grandes profesionales, se nota que son excelentes personas.
I'm starting to think it would have been better to buy the plans for the boat and just build it from the ground up. That way you wouldnt have to tear it apart, thus only doing half the work.
It would have been a LOT better to have done it that way, not relying on the old boat structure and you could get it all fair, true and fit things with much better tolerances. This is being built to last 20 years on the outside with good maintenance.
Hello, friends. First congrats for the monimental work you have taking upon your shoulders.
I have quite a bit of experience with boats and as a kid that grew up at at a fishing port with tons of wooden boats and having graduated as a ship engineer..
Let me tell you a couple of things about all boats, there are many factors and rules regarding boat maintainance/construction.
1. A boat is as good as much as you can keep the water out and does not poddle any where.
2. Materials make a big difference. We, in Costa Rica use Cedar wood. I have boards at home thst are more than a hundred years old, sitting above or below other woods that have been attacked by termites and others but the Cedar pieces were always intact. Just an example of using the correct material, wood in this case.
In your boat case all the rooten wood areas are where you have elements that are not design to expel out (drain out) the rain/ocean water toward the outside instead it qccumulate it and now you know very well what the end result is.
3. Only the absoluyrly sstricly electrical wiring or devices should go in the wngine room, all others that can go either in the bridge or main deck. Remember if you have water inside the boat you will be so happy if your emergency/running batteries were somewhere up and away from the flooding water.
I do not want to make you bore with many more details about subjects but if you need to, pls do not hesitate to contact me back.
Best regards and wishes with your project.
To call this a refit is a joke, !
