I’ve watched a stupid amount of UA-cam sailing. I can tell by your demeanor and production quality this is going to be big if you continue to produce content like this. Thanks for sharing your experience about starting in a boat yard. Looking forward to your content man.
Think that part under the boat is called a sea chest. The idea is to limit the number of hull penetrations and narrow the number of places to look if your bulge is filling up. It shouldn’t be too hard to clean with a gloved hand when diving. My vote is to check the valves on top and move along if they are in good shape.
Concur. The whole 'sea chest' idea was in vogue in the 80's/90's as more amenities were added to boats. One thru-hull to multiple interior valves & hose runs was considered safer. Suggest you treat it like owners who have a bow thruster. Stick-onto-paint brush and paint, after scouring what you can. Good start on a channel!
Living vicariously through you tbh. I live nearby and looking forward to what comes of this channel. Maybe it will inspire me to take the plunge and live my best life.
I also own a aluminum sailboat myself we picked it up about two years ago now. I also own Friendly Marine if you ever have any questions about anything about related as I’m also a boat manufacturer and mobile Marine mechanic with my specialty being electrical and systems
Don't get rid of the flares or smoke signals unless they're damaged. You must have enough current ones on board to count for safety inspections, but if you do ever need them...the more the better, just because there old doesn't mean they won't work and save your life.
Great video, suggest you don’t toss the gadgets and latches and stuff (expired flares are 100% garbage)Give yourself some time you may realize they are good to keep. We are loving your channel. You are a great story teller, keep the videos coming.
This is such an interesting start to your project. But, hour-long videos are too much for me, for what it's worth. 20-30 minutes is the best length. Leo and Mads are the gold standard. Best wishes! You'll do great.

This is going to turn out awesome. Your enthusiasm and heart are in this project. Thank you for bringing me along on the journey.

people want hour long videos and the stuff you think is boring is likely stuff people want to watch.

Congratulations moving forward is never easy plus fixing up a boat enjoy as a fellow sailor can't wait to see you out cruising
Very nice boat that you got there! Congrats! Waiting for next episode.😊
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… Go for it dude…
I'm glad to see you acquired an all metal hull. Aluminum or Steel is the way to go.

That boat is a real time capsule.
You can never have too much line.

Remove that thru hull and put a sea chest in that is newer design.
Sail is a big investment it good if you have extra

So much good stuff on the beached boat how long was it for
You don't wear black soled boots on a boat!
Nope - your thought out , not ours- goodbye 👋
Scupper drains?

Good popular channels are upbeat and do do do not whiny little brats just bitching bitching bitching
