    Brought back every memory of every goodbye with my Dad right down to the final one. Had me crying like a baby.

    Putting in all of that hard work, and just before the best part of the adventure begins, she drives into the sunrise. IS SHE CRAZY? Actually, I think it is such a testament to your family that even though she didn't want to sail away, she came and did all of that work so that the people she loves can live their dauntless dreams. Loved that very much.

    I am not ashamed to admit that I am 57 and have 2 daughters, one of which is going travelling soon. This video actually brought tears to my eye. You are such a tight family like mine, saying goodbye is hard. On a cheary note, you have done a wonderful job on the 50’ I do hope you keep her, getting a $1.2M cat for a lot less, I know the blood sweat and tears you have invested is incalculable but she’s a world class blue water sailing boat. These opportunities don’t happen very often.

    Goodbyes are always a pain especially when you have a close family but that boat when you pushed her out looked absolutely beautiful. It’s got to be your new home, bring on next week. What an achievement.

    Wow!
    1. Maddie was able to identify that her path was different and had the strength and drive to pursue that!
    2. Kim and Ty had the strength to support her independence even though they would miss her terribly.
    3. Maddie stayed to support her family though all of the grueling work!
    4. You can see the depth of this family's love coming through the camera lens.
    and...who the heck is cutting onions???

    It's hard to let the little ones go. You have to trust you've raised them well.
    My kids are both on college now, with my Daughter a 9 hour drive away. I thought leaving her there for the first time was the hardest thing I'd ever done. I was wrong. The hardest thing was watching her drive away to make that same drive all on her own for the first time. My Son is only 2 hours away, and seems like he will come back to live with us when he graduates and looks for a job.
    I LOVE seeing the hulls fully intact! She's looking like she's ready to drop into the water and maneuver under her own power!

    What a great video , the last part tugged at my heart but it was so wonderful seeing the love and bond your family has with each other. Having 6 daughters between my wife and I this brought back the times of both pain and joy when we hugged and watched each of our daughters head off to college and when I hugged them just before they left on thier honeymoon to start thier lives with our new sons. Even though raising girls was a challenge with the drama of girl life ,boy friends and butting heads with a very protective dad I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. I think the worse day in my life that concerned my daughter's was when the last one our baby headed off to college and the day after she'd left to head off to college I came home and as I entered the house I did my customary hey I'm home yell as I came through the door and was met with complete silence. I then remembered she was gone and I sat on my deck and cried for a good hour until the wife got home and joined me. Thankyou for reminding me about this special time in my life ,over the years I'd forgot how special that time in my life was. When I get thru writing this I'm going to call each one of my girls and tell them how much I love them and how proud I am of them . Thankyou!!!!!

    What a hard thing to do letting your child go into the world it's always better when you have them around, but when its time they want to fly on their own and you want them too, but it is still hard to let go lots of prays for family. It brought tears to my eyes I was never blessed with children, but I can tell you I would have been a baling mess. You both are fantastic parents, and your kids are great.

    You ALL represent what family is about, through thick or thin. Not sure where you are headed in Florida, but Jacksonville is boat city with many yards that are a lot less expensive than as you head South. I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale where all the North brought their yachts to be serviced; not so much anymore as it is cost crazy. Wherever you choose to tie up, Florida can give you much-needed sunshine. By the way, the project is beautiful and an amazing accomplishment. Cheers, Doc

    Your a strong knitted family and your team work is the greatest
    I am sure she’ll be back once you splash 💦😍

    As a Dad who has to let go and send my kids on their way, 2 girls, 1 son, there were seals around my eyes that were leaking at the end. Great day to view this and reflect what the good Lord has given me. Felt like -30C this morning shovelling snow, pull that “toque” (Canadian term for your beanie” around those ears. Enjoy your videos very much every Sunday.

    I'm excited to watch the final stages of the repairs on the 50, then see y'all splash and tag along on your dreams to sail the world.

    Wow, the thing looks awesome rolling out of the shed - what a difference from her tattered and battered first appearance on this channel. Bravo to the entire team! Bittersweet to see Madi drive away in her "little spool of thread" car (it seemed so little driving out into the big world). She can leave knowing how important her contribution was to the whole project and coming back to the family on the boat when the project is done will be a nice vacation destination for her!! Everything happens for a reason, so her foray out into the world is yet another step in her journey to a successful adulthood! So Brave!

    As a past Leopard owner, a tip, fit a pnuematic inner tube from a yardcart/wheelbarrow/small farm tractor wheel, between the saildrive twin rubber bellows, and the outer hull skin, inflate to a few pounds, this gives you added "insurance" in case the bellows rubbers at top of saildrive fail, and, also, if the bottom rubber sheet, that "seals" the outer hull hole around saildrive leg, falls off ( they do that!)

    It is so exciting to see the progress you have made and see the engines being installed. Yes, my tear ducts do still function and wish Maddie all the best in her adventures in Texas. Your whole family is amazing in how they came together once again and did things that I know would have been impossible for myself to do. (I am too big in the waist. ) To think that your channel came my way while researching fiberglass techniques on a small tear drop I plan to build and then see what you all and many other have done to repair their boats. Amazing Chanel, Amazing Family. Best wishes to you all.....Thanks a million for all the smiles and knowledge you have infused into my old brain.

    My thoughts on new engines in a boat that has been sunk is that your engines are the number 1 safety on a sailboat. You depend on them in rough seas and they alway always need to start.. if anyone plans to reuse a salt water flooded engine it should be rebuilt right back to brand new.. I think a generator should be thought of in the same way... the only thing I would consider keeping from a flood boat would be some of the wiring but only that which showed no corrosion or damage..
    By the way this boat is going to be amazing when its finished the hull colors are great together and I can't wait to see what you all do with the rest of the boat.. Oh and you have to keep this one..
