We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind.

Ziggy had an accident at work. He is better now, and we have returned to the boatyard, but I just haven’t been spending time editing, and recording much less these days.

      Was just looking in the hope of an update and spotted that Ziggy had an accident. Hope you're feeling a lot better now Ziggy and Nat is looking after you. I've ripped the meniscus in one knee (with work) and totally dislocated my leg from the other knee (while skiing) I know how painful they can be They will sort your out, im sure. If it helps, I can highly recommend seeing a physiotherapist with skills in acupuncture Your knee will look like a pin cushion but will feel fantastic after the treatment.

      Hi ☺️ first of all we would like to wish you Merry Christmas, hope it’s a jolly one and you are spending it with your loved ones. 🤗 How lovely to see we haven’t been forgotten. I do feel bad I haven’t released a short video with an update for everyone. I have been having a bit of a hard time at the time after it all happened.. I was worried we won’t be able to continue with this project let alone ever make our dream of sailing come true. But we are somewhat back on track with the project. 🙌 Still waiting for a date for Ziggy’s surgery. Thanks for suggesting acupuncture, will try to convince him to try it. Although it’s hard as it is to get him to exercise his leg to strengthen the muscles for when the surgery comes..🤦‍♀️ Best, Nat

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo 2 месяца назад

      Our personal experience didn’t end well, however if you do find a good mechanic the cost of complete overhaul is next to nothing, but once you add the cost of transport to and from EU, potential customs charges on its way back to UK..then I would say the cost of the same job in UK isn’t that much more expensive. And here in UK you should get some sort of warranty from the garage that completes the job. We didn’t get that, so when we were not entirely happy with the outcome, there wasn’t much we could do. So consider carefully. The mechanic that did our engine was recommended by a close friend who was overlooking that whole project over there. And they both didn’t deliver, promised a lot but didn’t deliver. Watch our video when we get the engine back.. good luck with yours🤞😊

    • @sailingsqualo

      I’m guessing that for a perfectly maintained vessel it is quite a lot, so imagine having a vessel that hasn’t been maintained over the years..at all, no wonder the cost of refitting our boat is growing by the day. BTW in Europe, you would have probably paid double that!

    She may be seaworthy but I’d never attempt to cross an ocean with only a tiller arm ….. no wheel means no auto steer ….. not a good combination…… great for a weekender or day sailing. And yes I have experience

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo 4 месяца назад

      The boat was bought for a different purpose, we didn’t plan to cross an ocean even though she is capable, but anyway that’s not the point. If you look closely though, she has both the self steering windvane as well as the tiller autopilot. As an experienced sailor you probably know that a much bigger problem on a boat this size is the amount of water and food you can take on board rather than whether or not you have the “auto steer”. I can assure you there are lots of sailors out there that sail and cross oceans on a boat with a tiller. Thanks for your comment, Ziggy

    just keep in mind that all work you are doing to the boat, specially when it comes to, not only tackling the issue at hand, as to improving the boat (which is what you are doing when you make decisions like going full solid glass) is a huge factor on how you sleep at night plus, if the day comes when you want to sell the boat, you can do so confidently and ask a price you feel fair because of said improvements. people that are educated about boats will appreciate and pay, the uneducated have 2 options: get educated (not your job) understand this is not their boat. im fully refitting a 1962 classic Pioneer 9 from VdS, i have to finish it first (laughs) and i want to sail it properly. If i ever decide to part ways with it, the price will be crazy, but its my boat , my value (obviously there will be a degree of bargaining involved) but im not backing down from a value, that i have yet to set, and i wont give 2 farts if people turn and say: i could get a lot more boat for that money. "fine, go ahead this isnt a boat for you anyway".

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo 6 месяцев назад

      That’s it 🙌 couldn’t have put it better myself. We were told many times already „you could have gotten a way better and younger boat for that money” but then I think, how do you know it’s better? It probably has as many issues as our 40year old gal. And usually requires a lot of upgrades anyway. No one in their right mind will sell a perfect boat that requires no work and no upgrades and has no issues for the sort of money we had when we bought Squalo. Yes, we pay for her upgrades a lot now, the total bill when we finish will be massive but we don’t pay that full amount upfront, we do it but by bit. And also, let’s be honest, not everyone is cut out to do a refit like this, some people prefer to buy something that’s ready to move in and sail off into the sunset right away. And that’s okay. But we do get some pleasure out of this DIY refit, and the satisfaction and confidence of knowing your vessel inside out..it’s priceless. And the skill we gain in the process plus the memories.. no one can take that away from us.

    Hi Guys, well done on the progress: I’m sure you’ve covered this, but can you reiterate for me what the ‘Peal Ply’ does

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo 6 месяцев назад

      Thank you! 🤩 Some call it peel ply, others release fabric. It is a finely woven fabric that’s treated with some kind of release agent so that epoxy doesn’t adhere to it while it cures. Because it also has a fine textured surface, once the epoxy cures you remove the fabric and it will leave a slightly textured surface that doesn’t require sanding. Another good thing about it is that amine blush comes to the surface of it so with removal of the fabric you also remove amine blush and there is no need to wash it off. Great stuff.

    • @emorganwright
      @emorganwright 6 месяцев назад

      Peel ply absorbs ‘amine blush’ from the epoxy so no surface wash is needed, and once removed leaves a smooth surface ready for the next step without sanding. :)

    the fake teak looks good in videos, haven't seen it in real life. with your commitment to quality it should be fine.

    • @sailingsqualo
      @sailingsqualo 6 месяцев назад

      We have looked at few samples from several companies that make them, some of them don’t look as good as others. I think it also depends on the colour you go for, we’ve seen some fitted on the boat that from miles you can see are fake and look pretty cheap (even though they aren’t cheap at all!). But besides the look, and the aesthetic is pretty important to us, what’s also quite crucial in choosing one is what their underside looks like, they all have slightly different design of the grip surface to which glue is applied. And that, although not visible once it’s glued, is even more important in terms of how well it is bonded to the deck and there are no air pockets forming, no water can find its way under and so on. So all these things we need to consider before we decide to go for it. Let’s hope we choose right! 🤞

      I can’t deny we’ve had some ups and downs 😉, but the toughest moments are when need to head back home and leave Squalo for a bit longer than we would’ve liked. So we are extremely grateful for the time we have in the boatyard now. 😊

    Looking good. I do hope the artifical teak is something you can go for. I can't remember when you last spoke about it, but I am assuming that the surface has enough grip on it to work as a non-slip surface while walking around the deck? Also despite that rot, you've done a fantastic job on dealing with it.

    Hi, just to give you an Impression. I bought a daysailer in the Netherlands . 27 ft. Victoire 822 from 1977 . Price 150 €. Yes , it should have gone to the scrapyard . As a retired oil-rig mechanic I had the skills to do most of the work myself as overhauling the engine and a lot of epoxy/ polyester work. Yes, i had things made new like the sails, all the rigging, furler and sprayhood and ofcourse the navigation instruments etc. Took the gas cooking away and went to solar cells and battery pack. Now almost ready i spent after 2,5 years around 24000 euro. Yes, still money and with a boat market at a bottom , price wise, i could have bought ?? Something else but again if you buy a boat older as 15 years you still need new rigging, mattresses , curtains, woodwork etc etc .etc . On you tube project 822 by j.booy. Take care and keep up the good work, regards, jaap

      It sounds like you’ve had an interesting project on your hands. A lot of work by the sounds of it. The good thing is you got the boat pretty much for free. And the money you spent doesn’t sound too bad at all. Well done you for sticking with it, I am sure you had moments where you thought “what in the world I got myself into..”

      @@sailingsqualo hi, yes , especially when bills come in for the 3 th party insurance and fees for berth. Invest in good tools . It saves on the long term money and time. I went over to battery tools and a battery power pack to reload them as well . The powerpack is a small one of the brand ecoflow . It has also 4 - 220 connections and takes a starting power of 1600 w. So enough for a circle saw . Go your own way and stay with your plans , do not react on remarks like, when are you ready, etc. In holland we have a saying that says, the best captains stand on land. Keep up the good work . Grtz. Jaap

    You guys are doing such a great job! Fantastic to see you back in the boatyard, it is a shame you had to be away from the channel. I watch quite few channels with similar content, yours is equally as good as some that have much bigger audience and many more views. Perhaps it's the clickbait technique they use more often.. don't know, but it's worth looking into, maybe it will help you reach bigger audience and grow your channel. 🥰 Meg

    Don't worry about getting a mix wrong it happens to everyone. I like to think that once you've made a mistake and corrected it, you're more likely to be more aware the next time and won't do it again. So it's really a good thing 😊 Keep up the hard work she's looking fantastic. 👍

    good thing you cleaned it up, I had someone help me with fiberglass work like 12 years ago... He e didn't use enough hardener or old stuff, but the patch he worked on is still not hard enough to paint without messing up the paint and going soft itself

      I will be honest, I love watching all DIY stuff, even the ‘boring’ bits I can sit and watch in real time. I find it relaxing. During pandemic we watched for hours this guy up in Canadian wilderness who builds his own cabin etc he doesn’t even talk much in those videos, you just sit and watch what he builds and how he survives there.
