Tom - thanks for this series!! It’s one thing to experience the power and majesty of the sea for yourself, but to turn around and help others realize that dream and see it come true is just great. And you’re not just doing that with these two, but with everyone watching. If there was a Nobel prize for empowering others to dream big and fulfill that dream, you’d have it!! But enough of that sentimental stuff, on to the next episode.
I'm loving the channel so far, although I'd love to see the projects in more detail. At the moment each episode feels more like a TV program with lots of filling fluff rather than in-depth detail about the renovations. One of the reasons I love the Sampson Boat Co and Acorn to Arabella is because as well as being entertaining, you're learning too. Both those channels have episodes around 20-25 minutes and you get a real sense of the craftsmanship that goes into the projects
Its great to see how projects go, I wish I had video captured my four years of refitting the Brenda C, I thought it might take me a year to sort her out but I was a little out with that.
How many projects did you have to film to get a series out the ones that finished, how many others did you start filiming but never got completed? Love rewatching this, I remember watching them all the first time around, thanks!
Simon, one of the other posters above makes a similar point, but it might be that back then i.e. 15 years ago, it was worth it..........but not sure about that. Cann't help thinking they well overpaid. Boat just is not special. Figure quoted in the film is £50k, but today they're worth half that.....have they really lost so much value?
@@chrismartin5870 I actually owned my first bought in the late 90's. It was a 1972 Columbia 30. It was $1500 and fully operational. Just needed cleaning. So I would have yo disagree sailboats have always been cheap if you look around. People are lazy nowadays and not many use sail power.

Working on it!
Nice SAAB as well!

Allan looks like a completely top bloke, would have him on my crew any day!
I’m doing exactly this with a 21’ sloop in Cornwall right now!
we are looking for new restorations to follow - thank you
me to with a unknown 21 foot sailing yacht..
Jay Palmer mine is a total unknown as well, no idea who built it just a manufactures plate with a silhouette on it and no info.😉best of luck

We chose only 5 projects and decided to see how far they could get in 16 weeks.
Given how long these restorations take and the opportunity cost, wouldn't it have been cheaper to just buy a boat in decent condition?
That isn't the point really, some people enjoy the project. Plus this was obviously quite a long time ago...
Gee..I didn't realize all I needed to fix my boat was an Excel chart, lol.
Hey! It has a sail! Or will have... 👍
Fingers crossed!
Hello from sweden! I was just wondering what happend whith the daggerboard/centerboard for the sharpie or if there even is one?
yes very small slides in and out..
How things have changed in the last fifteen years. Today you wouldn’t contemplate that project from a financial view unless it was something special.
How do you mean atchris? Just that these boats are now ten a penny?
£5K for that boat ??? No wonder the farmer didn't refuse that offer. - haha
I paid £6.5k for my fully ready 26ft Westerly Griffon.
They should have contacted Mads, with "Sail Life" on youtube he has done most of what they are talking about
Thanks Charlie - these programs were made 15 years ago.
@@BoatYardBuilds I knew they were old, but not that old, that's why I said should have
Not keen on the high number unstoppable ads
Apologies Mark - I'll look into this. It's something I have no control over.
Why??? what's so special about an etap 26 to make it worth?
its from 1987 so it must be rare
Why buy it? There are thousands of boats for free in much better shape.
They should have been paid to take it away
@@waterboy8999 I would agree. $5k is far too much!
