    Hey Finn, don't worry about us, we'll be here for you whatever - the most important thing is to look after yourself and do what you need to do to achieve that. Great to see you are OK, just do things at our own speed mate.

    Well done Finn, for recognising you needed a break! Remember the reason people watch your videos is because you are doing something that many do not have the skills or the vision needed, also I take inspiration from you for my own watery project. Thank you! Here for the long haul👍

    Hiya Finn, just doing a "checkup Charlie" and trusting you have had a great summer taking time for yourself, family and friends, and hope it hasn't been all work, and not least, you have been out on your small yacht lots of time too. We all look forward to seeing you back working on your boat or what you have been up to around the yard, but only in your own good time! 27,600 of us will always be here for you mate!

    Welcome back! Rome wasn’t built in a day. Once you are done, sailing will be great for your mental state. I say again what a huge part you played in that he rebuilding of Tally Ho

    Holy Cow !!! That rig looks fantastic ! She is going to look so fine when she's in the water and sailing.
    Like the other commenters, I'm delighted to see you back posting videos. I'm very aware of the stresses that build up trying to get a boat rebuilt as well as carrying on a full-time job and with family commitments having done the same thing on a much smaller boat back in 2015, so, personally, I have no issue whatsoever with your "holiday" from posting.
    I look forward to seeing how you get on with the rebuild in the coming months.

    it just takes as long as it takes.... Stay healthy, rested, fit, don't overwork yourself. It's incredibly difficult to manage such a big project alongside a job, friends, family and personal worries. And congratulations on the opportunity to buy the complete rig. It must feel good to have one less thing to worry about....

    we underestimate the work that goes into producing UA-cam content. Andy from Sailing Melody has just gone through a similar experience. Working long hours trying to beat impossible deadlines and putting too much strain on himself, both physically and mentally. Take care.

    Finn, no need to apologize. If you said nothing at all, about half of us would just assume we somehow missed your videos or that UA-cam screwed it up. I've been working on restoring my Hallberg-Rassy P28 for about 18 years and by comparison you are rocking along.

    Happy to see you back! It is most important that you keep yourself healthy and enjoy this work. I also appreciate that you show the hard combination of a normal life, meaning earning money, doing this big restauration of the boat and on top recording, editing, rediting … and so on. I do nothing comparable of such complexity and size. I already get upset forgetting the hammer when I arrived in the 2nd floor or dropping a screw while being on a ladder and holding everything in place. It is great what you do and I also enjoy your style much! Do things at your pace, its certainly the right pace for me to follow and lightspeed faster than me trying it.

    Great to hear from you again Finn!! Yep, chronic work overload is a real killer. Standing back to reassess and regroup is a difficult decision but I'm sure you are better off for the away time. In the mean time obviously you've not been sitting back: great progress on the cap rails and tankage etc. Well bought on the standing rigging - others clearly have a larger "cash kitty" than you do. A decent 2nd hand set is more than adequate. Nice to have you back and looking out for the next bit of content. Best of luck mate!!!

    Nice to see you back fella... looking forward to seeing your vessel continuing to take shape even if it's at a slower pace than you might like. My first ever attempt at public speaking was a presentation to my P5 class (48 years ago) about... drum roll.... ferro cement yachts!! My dad who was an engineer was delighted (he was a sailor too) but my class mates and teachers in my landlocked home town were slightly bemused...! Concrete that floats? Surely not...

    Finn, been wondering what you have been up to, figured you were either working extra so you can have more funds for your boat or that life had just gotten in the way as it often does. Glad to hear from you and I really love your project especially when it's the only major ferrocement sailboat channel around.. you ever checked out a boat by the river, they're building a pretty cool sailboat also that's designed much like yours only they're using the cold molded way for construction.. they're a small channel on one of the islands of New Zealand I believe.. take care of yourself and your dog. You will look back on your younger life remembering when things were simple and you were single and you will smile about this period in your life..
