I must plead with both of you, please do not loose heart. I am nearly 81 and do all sorts of small projects like art and Cad drawing, as well as writing my 12th book. Believe m e, my research has led me to know for sure that there is a season for everything and with the help of others I am sure to finish everything I start. Yo u might be surprised to know that I have followed your blog with great interest since you started, as both of you encourage me time and again. I can recognize those who collect what others discard and make it look brand new as I do so myself. I love it. My frustration is that I live on a pensioners allowance and cannot contribute money for your cause. But that is when a little voice entered my head saying, 'but you can use your gift of encouragement.' Keep going and take the next step. Longing to see you finish...old man Dave.
You should be very proud of what you have achieved so far. So dump the blues and celebrate the wonderful transformation of your lovely boat. Every day is a step closer to splash day and an exciting life exploring the worlds oceans.
I think in life we all question our own sanity about the projects we commit to and ask ourselves when will it end !! Seeing how you've bought a bought for 1 euro and have just methodically taken on each task, as labororeous as it may seem, looking from the outside in, I think the job you're doing is incredible. On the other side, you'll laugh and realise the bits you loved, the bits you hated but it'll be whilst you're sitting on deck cruising through the med, or further afield. As Yoda would say, "do, or do not. There is no try". Without a shadow of a doubt you're doing it and doing a great job.
You guys are incredible, You know we don’t watch your videos because we like watching paint dry 😮 No….. We watch your videos because you’re both down to earth people and you don’t bull shit. If bin man makes a mistake he just shows it and explains what happened 👍 If the little lady takes a hole week to do something she shows it and explains what’s happening 👍 And your both so amazed and grateful that you have so many people watching paint dry 😂😂 Love you guys we just love you both and we love watching paint dry 👍👍👍👍👍 Please do one thing for me,,, Get bin man to do a bin run it’s been a long time between bin runs 👍 Thanks for sharing guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hiya, Thank you for your kind words. Slowly slowly things are happening. The boatyard has changed the bins... No real treasure anymore. Not as much fun :( Plus we are trying to declutter. Cheers for watching 🙂
Never forget all of us love even the smallest details of your on going efforts. The boat is looking so good, I know it will be in the water and y'all will be complaining about the lack of fresh fish!
I’ve been enjoying this whole series since you started. You guys are the hardest workers I ever met. I understand how hard it is for you but the results are phenomenal. Keep up the good work. See you Friday.
I’m not a sailor but have always been interested as I sailed small vessels as a youth and my father was in the British navy and shipbuilding. I just discovered your channel this week, and I appreciate your honesty about your struggles. Other sailing channels emphasize the romance of sailing, underestimating the inherent difficulties (both technical and personal) for those without unlimited resources. Keep going, you will get there!
Keep up your spirits and the great work. You two are amazing. Oh, and the unmitigated gall of other people to work on their boat in the hangar! Don't they know some people watching UA-cam videos would be upset by background noise in a boatyard! 🙂
Ten minutes of before and after is enough. 😊 Time indoors is precious. Have you read J Allard Coles Heavy Weather Sailing. I learned so much from it! Oh,and even the videos quality gets better !
Love following you both 😊great content but a good idea to shorten them so you can still give updates, but prioritise getting the boat ready for the winter😊
I understand the amount of effort and hard work that goes into rebuilding a sailboat. Being in the boat yard cost money and many fall into the trap of how much debts it creates. It did motivate me to finish my sailboat build by working from 10am to 4am each day until launched for first time. Was an experience never to forget. Very satisfying after getting launched. Creates another challenge after that..keeping it afloat 😂
Don't worry about people who complain about background noise.. Your channel is about rebuilding a boat in a boatyard... of course there is going to be lots of noise.. and wind, and rain, and heat .. that's what it's all about.. Drives me crazy that someone sitting in their living room watching youtube is complaining about such small things while you two are working your butts off to not only rebuild your boat, but produce video about the process... p.s. . Thanks for all the hard work and time you put into editing these videos.. I know they take A LOT of time to edit.. So thank you...
Stew & Marina, I truly love the channel and enjoy every Friday seeing what you 2 have been up to.. my 2 cents aka opinion which isn't really worth anything, is to focus on getting Seabird ready to go back outside and record the footage. But hold onto it until you get her back in the sunshine and then make a longer video of your 2 weeks, release it on the 3rd week which you deserve to have off besides putting a video together.. the way Seabird looked when she entered is a long way from where she is now.. be cool to see in a single video her going indoors and then your finishing touches and her being brought back out.. you 2 keep doing what makes you happy and I know that people will be interested in 👀 your hard work yet 99% happy days..
I would just like to say, stick there. I have done what you are doing and when you look back you will realise what an amazing time it was. Nothing worth anything comes easily, our real souls are forged in these difficult undertakings. It will be the making of you both. Xxx
I see your friends and neighbors on sailing Joa have splashed. Hopefully you’re able to celebrate their success and not feel down that you were not out there at the same time. Remember, you took on a massive project and have made unbelievably incredible progress towards its completion. And even if Stewart can’t sing worth a darn, I’m still proud to be associated however distantly with you two!
Watching from Dayton Ohio USA, and really look forward to your videos each week. I agree that some of your recent videos are not all that “exciting,” but they are very interesting and I love watching them. I enjoy seeing the process . You guys do a good job of explaining what you’re doing to the boat and why you are doing it. In the end you will have a really handsome and solid boat, and not every sailer can say they intimately know their boat inside and out like you guys can. Keep up the good work!!
You can always graft in a piece of wood and into that piece of plywood for your bulkhead so you can use it, by using a couple biscuits its just takes a bit of work and a bit of extra time.
The things you do are always interesting. I know what you're going through at the moment. We bought a ruin some 24 years ago and spent the next 20 years rebuilding it, working full time as well and long hours. We went through the downs many times and had a break before starting again. Like you things don't get done if you don't do them! The house is not finished but livable but at 78 I'm a bit restricted in what I can do now. You are an inspiration to many people, proving that it's possible to accomplish things with a positive attitude. Keep on, keep on, you'll get there.
Thanks guys, Marina the deck work is looking great, your attention to detail is to be commended. Internally once the sole is down I think you will feel like things are really coming together.
Think you're done a fantastic job, I'm new to your channel, this boat is very different from when you found it abandoned in the yard, the results are inspiring, going to be a stunner once done, keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻
Marina, truly amazing episode! You both are such a lovely couple with Stewart's singing to go along with this epic project. The amount of work you accomplished in this episode is outstanding. Good to hear you can stay under cover a while longer.
You are doing a great job guys. Well done. Try not to get too down. Once you get out of the hanger maybe have a little rest and recharge your batteries. Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
I have been enjoying watching your journey to restoration of your vessel. I know how overwhelming it can be during the process, but you need to remind yourselves what shape the vessel was in when you got started and where it has gotten with your efforts. You both have developed skills that will put you in a very good position when you begin sailing, you will know your boat inside and out as well as be able to repair any problems you may have in the future!
You are doing very well with all small details. It is nice to follow you. I suppose you will work inside the yacht next winter. There are still plenty of work. 👍I wish I had such a programme to fix a boat. All the best to you.
you will be happy you are still in the tent this gives you time to get it sealed up before going outside. looks great what you have done. keep up the great work and have a wonderful weekend and week ahead. i will see you guys on next video
Awesome stuff guys!! Always love the stuff you put out… You two have done a monumental amount of work and it really shows and it shows well for the both of you.. Best wishes Mark😊
I'm just getting interested in sailing and am thinking of a small trailer sailboat. I'm the type of person that researches before I get involved in something that is a big money and time commitment. I'm also frugal and do a lot of DIY. Watching you gives me a good understanding of what, how and why I would be committing to. It also excites and encourages me! Thank you!
Look into getting something with a retractable centerboard. Makes trailering easier, and you can get into and out of much shallower waters than in a full keel boat
Making stuff strong and shiny is so satisfying that the noise does not mater.
I must plead with both of you, please do not loose heart. I am nearly 81 and do all sorts of small projects like art and Cad drawing, as well as writing my 12th book. Believe m e, my research has led me to know for sure that there is a season for everything and with the help of others I am sure to finish everything I start.

Brains and beauty go hand in hand. You 2 have great chemistry both in ur work and relationship.
The hull looks great 👍
O…O….a welder? Now I’m curious! It’s always a pleasure. Can’t wait for the next one. 😁🤗🥰😎❤️❤️❤️
…and as Fall rapidly approaches, we are still trying to pull out of those post painting blues. 😂😂😂
Great job guys, well done.
When you get a little down, it can help to look how far you've come. I'm gonna keep watching until you're sailing with a bassinet aboard.
When he mood is worst going on is most important. Just keep marching on. 🤗 Cheer each others up! 🙃
Of course the people you meet are nice because they are meeting you.
best one!
Thank you for the great update.
the fact that you both have work so hard is amazing
I think in life we all question our own sanity about the projects we commit to and ask ourselves when will it end !!

Glad to see you've both got you sense of humour. Stuart, the singing ? Don't give up the day job 😂😂
What do you mean?!
Singing was my day job 🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoy.
Cheers for watching 🙂
You guys are incredible, You know we don’t watch your videos because we like watching paint dry 😮 No…..

Love you guys we just love you both and we love watching paint dry 👍👍👍👍👍
Please do one thing for me,,, Get bin man to do a bin run it’s been a long time between bin runs 👍
Thanks for sharing guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hiya,
Thank you for your kind words.
Slowly slowly things are happening.
The boatyard has changed the bins...
No real treasure anymore.
Not as much fun :(
Plus we are trying to declutter.
Cheers for watching 🙂
what your doing is worth it seabird is coming back to life every week well done
Ánimo chicos cada vez queda menos y además lo estáis haciendo muy bien, es divertido ver como te traslada Stuar en el carrito😂
Qué ilusión mamuchi!!! Muchas gracias por los ánimos ❤️
Best channel on UA-cam.
Never forget all of us love even the smallest details of your on going efforts. The boat is looking so good, I know it will be in the water and y'all will be complaining about the lack of fresh fish!
Looking excellent, make the most of the hanger days!
❤😂 now I'm 74 and I haven't the strength anymore you both are Yong bay out the time it is worth it. Adam.🎉
Truly loving the process in both the boat and your skills
I’ve been enjoying this whole series since you started. You guys are the hardest workers I ever met. I understand how hard it is for you but the results are phenomenal. Keep up the good work. See you Friday.
You have come a long way guys. Great job.

Happy to see you both keep up the humour . Videos short or long It is seeing your progress and all the best from Jack from Vung Tau Vietnam

Take a deep breath and then back to work. Seabird is looking beautiful.

Boat Refit?
No Noise...
No Joys ...
of Success! ;8>)
Just keep going, the boat looks better every week. Paint the deck before you go outside. This winter you can finish the inside.
Stew & Marina, I truly love the channel and enjoy every Friday seeing what you 2 have been up to.. my 2 cents aka opinion which isn't really worth anything, is to focus on getting Seabird ready to go back outside and record the footage.

13:33 she told us “you put them in there Stew!” 😂.
I would just like to say, stick there. I have done what you are doing and when you look back you will realise what an amazing time it was. Nothing worth anything comes easily, our real souls are forged in these difficult undertakings. It will be the making of you both. Xxx
Love the progress! Hang in there! Thank you for sharing!
Always nice to see you working together on this beautiful project. Look forward to it every week! greetings from Holland :)
To those who complain about noise it is obvious you have never worked on a large project
I say you have done great work
One bite at a time.... and then another.... a marathon. You are doing a fine job.... Good luck. Steady as she goes
Short or long , i`ll be watchin .cheers
Wow Stuart's pencil is really tiny!!! Wow
We are happy to see your smiling faces no matter how long or short the videos. 🤗💖🇺🇸⛵⛵🐬🐕
Great job guys. Keep it going!
It sounds like a Cathedral in there.
Blast out some organ music and then some U2 or Dylan.
I see your friends and neighbors on sailing Joa have splashed. Hopefully you’re able to celebrate their success and not feel down that you were not out there at the same time. Remember, you took on a massive project and have made unbelievably incredible progress towards its completion. And even if Stewart can’t sing worth a darn, I’m still proud to be associated however distantly with you two!
Good to see you both better. Stuart, don't give up your day job...with the singing. 😉
I needed sunglasses to see Stuart's shorts extremely loud!!
Watching from Dayton Ohio USA, and really look forward to your videos each week. I agree that some of your recent videos are not all that “exciting,” but they are very interesting and I love watching them. I enjoy seeing the process . You guys do a good job of explaining what you’re doing to the boat and why you are doing it.

Good to see you again hang in there Amigo and Amiga ❤😂🎉
You can always graft in a piece of wood and into that piece of plywood for your bulkhead so you can use it, by using a couple biscuits its just takes a bit of work and a bit of extra time.
So much still going on. But also do much done already. Whisking you good luck either way pushing on for the time your still inside.
I like this new style you have at the start of the video, with the broll clips mixed in.
That’s an average sized work pencil. 😂😂 love watching you guys. Keep up the good work guys.
Yep. Bit small, but at least it had some lead in it.
The things you do are always interesting.
I know what you're going through at the moment. We bought a ruin some 24 years ago and spent the next 20 years rebuilding it, working full time as well and long hours. We went through the downs many times and had a break before starting again. Like you things don't get done if you don't do them!

Thanks guys, Marina the deck work is looking great, your attention to detail is to be commended. Internally once the sole is down I think you will feel like things are really coming together.
Y'all are making it happen, respect 👊
Cheers! 👊
More goodies on the way soon just waiting for some items to Arrive
Think you're done a fantastic job, I'm new to your channel, this boat is very different from when you found it abandoned in the yard, the results are inspiring, going to be a stunner once done, keep up the good work 👌🏻👍🏻
Keep it up. She's looking great. Long way to go of course. But i bet she didint look this good when new....
Hope you will success to paint the deck before to leave the barn
Great Job guys👏 Was it pin holes that Marina was filling ?
⛵️ ⛵️ ⛵️ Phil...
Marina, truly amazing episode! You both are such a lovely couple with Stewart's singing to go along with this epic project. The amount of work you accomplished in this episode is outstanding. Good to hear you can stay under cover a while longer.
Glad you are both in better spirits. It is hard to get at it when you are down. Keep plugging, nice video. Thank you.
Love the project,
"Chin up" 😁😁
Great job
Cheers! :)
Great great great vlog.xxxx

We like watching y'all, the struggle, the interactions, the decision making, I'm rooting for you!!! Thanks for sharing and cheers!!
You are the best!
Keep going 😊
Hoping things go smoothly and fast!!
New working Pencils on the way and glue sticks and Brushes
You are doing a great job guys. Well done. Try not to get too down. Once you get out of the hanger maybe have a little rest and recharge your batteries. Love your videos ❤❤❤❤
You’re doing great. Perhaps not spectacular, one can see you’re making great progress.
Keep up the good work she is looking beautiful
As a very popular youtuber is saying: More oh glorious sanding. Cheers , Richard
I laugh when you laugh, I cry when you cry. It's amazing how you do that.
Bet you laugh when I cry though😢. Meanie!
Kiwi grip is very very good!
We used on our previous boat and were very happy with it 😊

Don't worry about the background noise. We can tune it out. You have a lot of work ahead before taking her outside.

You guys are marvellous 😅 and I know you can push through everything. Just keep going in your own way and pace. 💪🏻

the highs and the lows , keep on truckin!
You two make me laugh.
We are glad you enjoy.
It's meant to be fun.

Keep up the good work and stay happy .
