Take heart! Uma was saved by the two of you because of how much you didn't know. Now, because of how much you do know, Uma will be better than the day she left Pearson all those years ago.
Pearson should have recalled the bigger boats obviously.
@@beatdizzywhy? The boat lasted 30+ years!
@@Cheers_WarrenBecause they are unsafe. It lasted as long as it did because it was extensively repaired.
@@NibsNiven nah, they bought a complete wreck for very little money, and did not repair the bad knees yet it still held together.
They got a bum survey apparently but Prehaps forgot that the surveyor knew the value of the boat and sadly that influences the survey , a condition survey takes into account the boat value. Any 30 year old boat worth $5k will have all sorts of issues but is worth $5k….(or what ever pittance they paid).
@@Cheers_Warren Are you denying that they made extensive repairs to Uma?
When you are finally done with your massive sailing adventure, you would both make a great business team giving advice to other inexperienced yachties, like you once were, as you have come such a long way since when you first bought the boat. “Good things come to those who wait”!
In a way, they already are giving advice to inexperienced yachters. Anyone who is becoming inspired by them, are gaining even more insight with this latest refit.
They would be a great team at any business endeavor. Their energy and ability to learn and apply so many different things is incredible. Sail on Uma, Sail on...
When I first saw the word Ultrasound, I thought you might be pregnant which is wonderful in itself. But also, many people raise their children on boats, so was confused. But now all is well again. Smiles. Good luck and I am looking forward to watching your rebuild of Uma as well as your rebuild of the 4x4 and your land adventures too. :)
I am familiar with ultrasonic and he is performing it correctly
So great to hear the good news. You were my original sailing channel. I am so glad the same boat will be around because it gives hope to all of us trying to sail on a shoestring.
yup them sitting on the dock, hats and beads and all sorts of corny talk.. great start come so far..

The best news for UMA ! She now knows not only that you love her and do the best for her but that you have brought 'aboard' the best team to help you make her healthy and beautiful beyond her wildest expectations. SO happy for you both. I know that you have never been afraid of hard work or learning more things to carry forward. You must be elated.
Onward with all of us cheering you all the way. 👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖❣
Dan, when you reglass the bulkheads to the floor, be sure to double check with your guy about the bulkheads being glassed hard against the hull. Usually builders leave that gap so the hull can flex and not create hard spots where the hull can be damaged. No different that installing stringers in a boat. Keep up the great work and glad the news was good on the ultrasound.
Over the last decade you resurrected a basket case and created a truly unique and beautiful adventure vehicle. This latest prognosis has addressed the viability for a second reconstruction. Many thanks as always for sharing the details ⛵️
Great! Uma is saved. I suffered the process together with you. I have also seen Uma born and all the work you have done over the years!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ultra-Uma! She's good for a long time yet. Good luck with the rebuild.
Suspense for sure! Can’t wait to watch as you put all your skills to work rebuilding Uma and then her/your future adventures!
I was expcting the other kind of ultrasound as well, but I guess it was just Uma having an ultrasound this time :)
Think of how enormously helpful this is for other sailors and boats sitting in junkyards that can return to the water. Recycle, renovate, repair the boats we have. Clean up the Earth! It is the right thing to do! What a great learning experience for boat architects, builders, boat owners, and the environment. I have been watching Sailing Uma for many years. You are two normal, appealing, smart, interesting people.
You guys are getting a master class in boat building and refurbishment with this inspection you now know the areas you must expend your efforts on and how it has to be done.
You probably should decide on the side of caution.
Time to get a better cruising boat. Uma II.
The very reason I dislike inboard chain plates , that is the very reason I'm firm believer on external chain plates. Glad to see she came out usable. Looking forward to your next clip.
Best to you both .

Ultrasonic non-destructive inspection (UT NDI) uses sound waves to measure thickness of a composite laminate and search for inclusions or delaminations within that laminate. The rate of travel of the sound wave depends on the density of the material. When the sound wave hits a change of density in the laminate or bounces off the back side of the part it creates reflections that are picked up by the technician's instruments. Delaminations, blisters, or inclusions (embedded material that is not fiberglass) show up as a short return signal with respect to the pristine areas that indicates where the delamination is and the depth of it within the hull. The inspection process proceeds by finding areas of good material than using the signals measured by the tool to find areas that have problems. As mentioned in the video a couplant is used to ensure the sound is transmitted into the part to get good readings. Really sophisticated UT NDI systems used by some Aerospace companies that make composite parts for aircraft can use lasers to create the sound pulse on the composite and then measure the response within the part. A great video update and good news for Uma. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Sorry it cost you some time and fear, but to help so many with your struggles and set backs is why this channel is such high standards and real. Another great show as always, been watching this adventure for a few years, was painful to think UMA was going to be retired possibly to old boat home was a bit scary. May you both have good health, smooth waters and wind in your sails ahead!
Almost undoubtedly the most important aspect of your renovations, knowing how flexible or rigid Uma's hull needs to be, section by section. This is great groundwork and will be rewarded by allowing you to create a really good plan for building the foundations of your redesign. Such a knowledgeable expert is so useful to have in your planning stage. I look forward to seeing the build over the coming months.
Good news, hard work to come!
Long life to Uma ! ❤
Glad you have experts helping you out. Here's to happy sailings in the future. Fair winds going your way!
Now don't tell me everyone hasn't skipped from 5:17 to 15:05 to hear the outcome of the scan, there's no way I could wait!! Great news congratulations on the new baby😄
Because it was BORING!
@@anthonyelyas2040boohoo
I am soo glad to hear the great news!! Good luck on all the hard work!!
Glad that you sought out professional help on the soundness of the hull to ensure your safety when further exploring our world. I because of my age would have bought a newer boat, but understand your reluctance to get rid of UMA after all of the time and years spent to make her a seaworthy boat and take you on all of your travels over the past 9 or 10 years. I know I have binge watched your videos after I found your channel about 5 years or so ago. Keep the videos coming and I will watch as you put UMA back together better than she has been in many, many years since she was initially built.
Awesome! I'm so glad for you! You have both made Uma what she is! They say that the soul of a vessel is created by her crew. Uma was indeed lucky to have found you both! You have taken her on many adventures before this, and fortunately there will many more to come! I've watched you do some impressive refits on Uma before, and I'm looking forward to what you will accomplish with this one! Fair winds and following seas!
I have learned so much watching you guys over the years. I am so glad Uma will sail again. Truly a nail biter.❤
Great News! It must have been a SUPER STRESSFUL experience!
Wishing you the best during the restoration!
Cheers from Alaska
PUT THE CHAIN PLATES ON THE OUTSIDE. I did that on my 65' Pearson (33") and it has been great! No deck leaks and where the knees are now is super thick. Hope all is well
Congrats guys! Here's to many more years of Sailing Uma!
I am happy that your Ultrasound was done. The encouraging😂 part of this service is that they will lay out a repair plan to strengthen and support Uma 👍
Your future is safe and secure 😊
Great to hear that your epic journey with Uma can continue into the future!
So very cool! I have never heard of ultrasound on a boat but it's so awesome they can check the structural integrity like this! Yeah! Saving Uma! ❤🎉
There was a comment about Deming, and data. One important piece of info is the distance Uma has already gone in your hands. Another is all the repairs you have documented. You would be adding strength and safety to that starting point. Not going with a new old boat of unknown strength. This US was a prudent check, and probably not that costly to do. Good luck going forward.
Woot woot! Congratulations, it's a boat! I am learning so much, thank you for sharing your journey :)
Glad to see you guys continuing on this restoration. Neat to see ultrasound put to this use. Learned something new today.
Glad to hear she can be saved 🙂
You have a lot of work ahead. So, here we go,
Thanks 4 sharing
Cheers
When you spend that much time, effort and money an old boat, you 100% want to be sure it would be worth it, such a great news for you guys! can't wait to see the whole process, it's gonna feel like back to the start somehow with all that work! ❤
Happy for you and the Uma Project ❤
I really appreciate your talent and energy , it's been a greats series watching your travels aboard Uma . I am familiar with the fiberglass sailboats from the 70's & 80's having sailed and owned a couple ( 4 ) of that era . Pearson's were built better than many so you've got that going for you . Sounds like you've decided to rebuild that's a big job ..i'm sure you'll succeed .
Yeah,Wow! This is SO INTERESTING! I did learn a lot! I'm so excited to see the progress! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Love you guys, so glad UMA will sail again!
So cool guys! Thanks. Can't wait to see the lamination schedule come to life. Cheers!
Wow! Great episode! My dad had a Pearson 10M and I had totally forgotten about the recall. Rock on Uma!!!
So glad Uma is going to be ok and thank you for sharing info about this service! Definitely something to keep in mind when planning a boat project.
Wow! This makes me feel even better about you refitting her because now you/we know she will be safe and sound for you two to keep journeying. What peace of mind for both of you to know that she is safe, and then to have the help to make sure you do it right this time. Not that you did it wrong last time, but you had a lot less experience, and back then you didn't realize that the manufacturer didn't actually properly attach the supports of the boat.
I am so happy it was good news. Now on with the rebuild. Exciting. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
wow that’s crazy seeing your uma stripped down. i was so impressed with the work you had done to it. you two have been a big inspiration for me. i just got a sailboat that needs a lot of work and i hope i can do as good of job as you. thanks for you videos!
A prime case of ‘ignorance is bliss’! Would you really have crossed the North Atlantic if you had known what you now know? But good on you - you’re still smiling. 0:00
So happy for you and Uma! ✨
I am glad you got the outcome you wanted…I was wishing a new project boat a bit bigger. Good luck putting it all back together! I’ll watch all of it thoroughly enjoying it!
Terrific Episode! Thank you for giving a master class on the proper approach to Step 1 of the analysis and restructuring of a boat hull!
A brilliant new diagnostic tool. Thank you for bringing it to the wider audience.
At least six months of hard work await you!! Good job!
Brilliant!! What a smart bussiness and individual.
You guys will redesign it in a better way than it was engineered now. Can't wait to be along for the process of considerations🎉
That gentleman is a real pro boatwright- just what you needed........ summons memories of boat repairs in Panama.
Wow, end of exercise for Uma was in sight for a moment. But like a phoenix she rose out of her worries. Congratulations with the good news that she can sail another 50 years after you finish the refit. I love to follow every step. And i wish you all the courage and stamina. I know you can do it. ❤
Great news. Looking forward to seeing the build plan.
What a job! Good luck, and may the force be with you!
Your introduction had me convinced I was going to hear and see the tale of Uma's demise. So happy for you that your rehab project can continue to a successful splash down in the months to come. Good news!
I am so pleased for you both. This is NOT just a boat, but like a home to you and has an extreme amount of sentimental value. I look forward to seeing what you do with the internal structure. Onward and upwards: :)
Very cool, and good for you for restoring your boat!
Your resilience is an inspiration to all of us, get our asses out, face our problems fearlessly. Thanks for sharing the ways you 2 work your way out of small and Big issues like this one!
Congratulations! I'm sure your new addition will be a very welcome part of your family. So nice of that Italian doctor to come out and do a house call.
So happy. 🎉 I really was worried. Looking forward to following along the refit.
Congratulations Uma !!!
What a great relief !
😜🥳💖
I’m happy for you. Absolutely the right thing to do. You will now have peace of mind knowing the structure of Uma is safe and your work in renovation will not be wasted.
I worked at Boston Whaler they put different color fiberglass chop when spraying the mold so many per sq. inch then move the gun. Does your hull show any color strands per in. Then pop the mold and tap every Sq. inch with a neoprene tip hammer to find any voids in the gel coat. And we through you guys were having a baby...
So the ultrasound revealed that the baby is healthy, and delivery will be in a few months 😁
Good one.
This comment rather ruins the surprise for everyone, don't you feel? Please think before you type the outcome so everyone sees it before they watch the video.
Sounds like she needs a Caesarean (or two)
@@shieldaigbencherwho’s reading comments before watching the video?
Boy or girl???
Damn! had me at the start!! good luck with the rebuild!
Glad you guys are taking the steps to rehab and refit! Uma is a lighter boat in big waters but these are good things to fix now rather than getting caught in a bad situation which turns to worse if the hull is compromised.
so happy for you both and Uma! Onward
I always like the interior design before the recent demolition, I look forward to seeing the rebuild and the changes that will make it even better! Best of luck with your project...I have learned a lot! Bob in Mississippi
What a great way to understand the boat and how to do fix her properly. So intersting to understand the importance of hard spots, and how to design the transitions to softer areas.
i wish the best for you guys, positive vibes and success. Cheers from Brazil.
Terrific to hear Uma will live, but what an onerous task ahead of you. That said you’ll have confidence in the hull once done. Best of luck with the rest of the refit.
I admire everything you've accomplished with the boat and completely understand your emotional commitment to Uma. Listening to you both, though, I kinda hear some hedge, maybe a sense that you are ready for a new vessel/challenge/platform? Keep inspiring us 🐬🐬🐬!
Want the best for you guys. Love watching your adventures, your couples teamwork, your future together. We would love to see Kika do more with her silks someday. The silks in the snow was poetic and epic. Sounds like its time for you to upgrade the boat to family size. You gave Uma her best life.
That is so good to hear!! 😊
This channel is a dream, having enough time and money to be able to take appart your boat to fix all the things that need fixing. Love it!
I can’t wait to see all of your new innovations on Uma
Good news. Wonderful to have expert advice. Your lives depend on the hulls integrity
yes, you both got me!! I really thought you both were expecting!
Keep at it!!! It will all be worthwhile.
I had heard of one boat that had a ultra sound. First time I had ever seen it done. Very interesting. Thx for the great information. Great news for both of you. I imagine a great stress relief. Good luck 👍
Somehow this almost felt like it was my home being examined for its final outcome - Uma really has become a part of your viewers lives - obviously not as much as yours but in some small way she really is important to others - so relieved for both of you
Good for you and UMA. Knowledge is a wonderful tool. Time to get to work.
So interesting ..looking forward to the new journey with Uma...learning a a lot.
Great Video !
Perfect results for us too. We know now, we can follow for the next couple of month the refitting of UMA! Yaaaaaaaa. Let’s have fun and the project started!! Huge TANKS.
Brilliant bit of video direction, to ramp up the tension by having to wait for an interpreter! So glad the baot will be better than ever when you have worked more of your magic.
Good news, always welcome. 🤗
I've watched y'all since day one under different names and am sad UMA is so sick but healthy. Your boat will be worth an unbelievable amount when you finish if you continue. That's content for at least a year.
Congratulations little Miss Uma. Mom and Dad will give you all the love and care you need to bring you back to a healthier state ❤🎉
Lucky!, I loved the Galaxy Quest / Alan Rickman clip you used to convey your completely understandable relief! So happy to hear your baby will live to sail once more!
This is an awesome bit of information. great work. The channel that keeps sharing experiences. Thanks
Good news for you and Uma!
UMA will always sail with you!!! I'm so happy about the good news! Buon vento cari velisti!!!
Best wishes, Lots of Love and Blessings for your future. Peace Love and Light Brian
Happy for you two keep up the great work
