Sailing Kiss
Великобритания
Добавлен 15 авг 2016
This is the story of my 1978 26ft Kelt yacht which I (we) bought in 2020, having had no sailing experience at all. Learning everything from how to sail to maintenance as we go, having a blast, making mistakes and doing it all on a limited budget.
Occasionally thrown into the mix is another money pit…. 1993 TVR Chimaera. Oldies are goodies and same goes for us. Hope you enjoy our trials, tribulations and adventures.

Hank on a storm jib.
If you can deal with that , you could deal with most situation.
Might be worth trying a sail maker to see if a repair is feasible.
Sounds like you dealt with a very tricky situation admirably. Well done both of you x
Well done, that was a big project to take on when you haven't done it before x
Your videos are great. I really enjoy watching your videos. I wish you success always
appreciate the comment
Excuse me, but it wasn't the 'fkrs from Blackpool' that left the trim off, now, was it? 😂
Nice to see an engine service that is true to life rather than the perfectly executed, pre-rehearsed ones we normally get to watch. They make it all look soe easy !!!
👍
Brave brave souls for tackling a yacht restoration! 🎉 My hubby (71) would love to do what you are doing but I love watching these videos and just shake my head and say "far too expensive and too much time and energy"...😅 Look forward to your adventures!
Perhaps a nice little non tidal river boat, something for your husband to fettle with and you to watch the world go buy on a sunny day..
@@Sailingkiss Sounds perfect! Mmmm...
You have the patience of a Saint.
I just think of the big TVR smile I’m going to have when driving the beast down a country lane
I need to do this repair to mine. It's been bonded in place. Thinking of actually changing them for something else. VW Corrado, Audi TT. Not sure what else would fit. Thanks for showing. Steve.
"It's the first time I've done it" :)
Try goo gone on the glue
Thanks for the tip
By the way… the “dangerous liquid” turned out to be a burst washing liquid pod…… 😅
Oxalic Acid right into the sea. Well done.
No worse than mild soap
Definitely not a genuine 450, the 450 was launched in 1997 and this is an early preface lift car so it’s had the 4.6 engine added at a later date
Plus the reg comes back as a 430. So if someone sold it to you as a 450 then they’ve been having you on
Ordered April 1993 for Team Central TVR of Birmingham, one red, one silver, the cars were specified with 4.5 litre engines specially built by Dom at TVR Power in Coventry. This engine started life as a 3.9, being fitted with TVR Power 80mm crankshaft, Cosworth pocketed pistons and high lift camshaft borrowed from the Tuscan Challenge race engines, as well as modified cylinder heads. The engine in this vehicle was subject to a rebuild at 57000 miles carried out by TVR Power. We have all the receipts for this work, which detail that a new TVR885 camshaft and 5.0 piston rings were installed as well as main bearing shells, valves' new clutch, etc. The whereabouts of the red vehicle supplied as a pair to Team Central is unknown
Thanks for your video. When I was a boy my physics teacher from boarding school would take pupils out on his yacht, and sometimes we used to anchor in Sharfleet Creek. Never forget it. We had jellyfish then! (this was around 1979-83). Also we had phosphorescent algae one evening, and I went rowing with my brother in the yacht's dinghy and every time the oars touched the water a dazzling shimmering light show would ricochet through the water - amazing!
Lovely story, thanks for sharing it with us
Wow, a great result!
Thank you! Cheers!
إنه مستمتع 😂
I was pressure washing that slip way the other weekend lol
Couldn't make that work party, we were in Gibraltar drinking beers and watching the dolphins, shame about that !

I don't understand people who swim with swimsuits. What's the utility ? Which pleasure does it bring to them ? Why not swimming with shoes ?

Fair comment
Really nice seeing you both enjoying that quiet and lovely corner of Borrowdale. I know it very well as it is a favourite route of mine out on or back from wanders on the local fells, and happy to confirm you chose very well.
Lovely comment, appreciated
@@Sailingkiss A merry Christmas to you, and I hope you both enjoy many more wanders like it. And I am sure you will. All the very best.
Really enjoyed this video, very genuine, engaging and relaxing. Thanks to both of you xx
Thanks Simon for your kind comments.

…and the mystery of the noise is solved in Ep 10 at 8 mins in.. All it took was a woman (and Google search) 😮
Just grateful to have found someone with a sense of adventure
You both seem to be enjoying it, you might have to promote her from cabin girl to first mate !! xx
Charlie has the first mate's job!
Good luck to you both x
