We made it to the TT
Join us as we embark on an exciting journey from Preston Marina to the Isle of Man aboard our Aquastar 38 Ocean Star! Setting off on a perfect day for boating with almost no wind and a flat sea state, we cruised comfortably at our ideal speed. Our 69 nautical mile voyage to Douglas Harbour took 4.5 hours, providing stunning views and smooth sailing throughout. Upon arrival, we rafted up alongside a fellow adventurer from Whitehaven and waited for the incoming tide at 11:10 PM to enter the marina. Watch as we prepare for the start of the Isle of Man TT Racing and enjoy the adventure with us!

Have you still got the rib?
Sold it a few years ago, shame as she was a great rib
@BoatzUK I have had a couple of seariders too
@fat_tommo_goes_boating it was a great little boat but the gearbox blew up so swap it for a new one
What's happening with the boat? We have had nothing for a while now .
I got very busy with work but next upload is coming very soon work life got in my way 🤣⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏🙏 stay tuned

Very nice project. I've been on with mine for five years. They are solid built and massive interior. Will watch your progress. Cheers Colvic Quest 34.6 Colvic Watson
Thanks 👍 ⛵️⛵️
Hi there. I don't know if you, in the UK use gelcoat paint on your boat's. If don't all good. If you do. What is it and what does it for? Thank you
I have not used a gelcoat paint before but seen other videos on the process 😎⛵️
I got absorbed with these £1 yacht videos and binge watched them but nothing’s happened for over a month. Will there be any more progress soon?
Yes I will be uploading soon as my work life got in the way as I have been flat out on the day job but will be back very soon ⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏🙏 sorry for the delay ⛵️
that was some barnacle collection, copper plating stops them from attaching, you can get copper-based paint, wonder if that would stop them, any ideas anyone,
It was definitely covered 🤣 in the marina where we are based it’s brackish water and no matter what you put on the hull barnacles seem to be immune to anything 🤣⛵️🙏
BOAT break out another thousand, been there, done that, just another hole in the ocean to throw your money into! It's really just a form of madness but " fun" anyway, good luck and happy sailing!
Thank you and I know what you mean 🤣⛵️⛵️
I really enjoyed watching your video. I love watching cruises like this.
Thank you they will be more to come 🛥️🛥️🛥️
mix in 1ib of chili powder with your antifoul, kiss good bye to barnacles
Ohh this is good to know 😎⛵️
The scredriver will sink inside the handle.
I am definitely good a breaking tools 🤣⛵️
I love your screwdriver. What a punch? Hope you don't want to use it as a screwdriver.
Yes it’s definitely not much use as a screwdriver anymore 🙏⛵️
What happened to the ladies face mask. I would hate to suck in any of the minute dust from sanding. It can't be healthy. Unless that is a plan.
🤣 forgot to give her a mask, but soon realised 🙏⛵️
You should have covered the lot in paint stripper covered it over with bin bags and came back the next day. You'll probably find you wouldn't have that much sanding if you did. But we'll done on the progress!
Thank you and I used the paint stripper on part 3 and it worked well 🙏😎⛵️
@@BoatzUK well done pal!
...Thought it was 007 in action....maybe fly over the dock....stupid ass....
I have seen others to buy a vessel for one quid, Well turns out, they had a vessel afterwards
🙏⛵️
Wow , that’s amazing !!
Thank you 🙏🛥️🛥️
I would have paid someone for me not to have to own this derelict. No one who did this to a nice little sailboat should be allowed to ever own another boat. A million years ago, I owned a beautiful Catalina 22 sailboat that looked very much like this boat must have looked prior to its destruction by an idiot. I believe that this boat was not worth salvaging. There are beautiful and large sailboats going for under five hundred dollars in American auctions in California. I’ve seen decent Catalina 30s go for five hundred dollars while others weren’t even bid upon. Each of these are highly more desirable yachts than this poor boat. The only thing this boat is good for is the views on RUclips.
It’s now coming together 🤣 but I know what your saying, part 5 has me sanding for days 🤣⛵️🙏
I am a Floridian and have never seen the type of ridiculous lighting system you blame on Miami, Florida, USA. Well the only place I have ever seen or heard of them is in the UK. So this system is now properly known as UK Yacht Lighting. A real class UK system I believe.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 your right it’s the new normal here now 😎⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
I feel with you. I have done the same on a 20 ft sea coast sailer from 1972., the only thing I am not so happy about is the thickness of the fiberglass.cabinets deck and hull all 1/4” kind of flimpdy in my opinion
Hi, this one feels very well built and the hull is in very good order but many repairs and lots of work but I feel she will turn out ok, I am getting there slowly, juggling work and family at the same time slows it down a little but it will come together soon, thank you for your comment and glad to hear you have been here before with this kind of work 🙏🙏⛵️
parle de trop
It’s not for everyone
I bought 2 acres with a cabin and the property is beautiful but a big project. You encouraged me man
Thank you and I wish you all the best with your project and by the way that sounds awesome 🙏😎
It would be faster with a wire disc.
Definitely 🙏⛵️
Hi Cliff looked like a great adventure the iom looked great never been, lovely boat 🛥 by the way keep up the good work cheers 🥂
Thanks Paul, nice to get to sea for the first time this year 🙏🛥️🌊😎
Before getting a berth on Loch Lomond, kept my old Shetland 570 in Largs, I certainly don’t miss having to worry about tides etc! Great looking trip, boats and bikes,what else do you need 👍👍👍🛥️🏴
Thank you 🙏 it was great fun and I know what you mean about the tides it’s always a pain 🛥️🙏🌊
👍🦘🇦🇺
Thank you Craig hope you are well 🛥️🙏⛵️
About time you got that boat out properly 😂
She needed a good run and it was definitely worth it, great marina and lovely place 🙏🛥️
The bikes are great but ya can’t cook a bacon butty on em 😂
You can’t beat a bacon butty cooked on the boat just seems to have more flavour 🤣🙏🛥️
@@BoatzUK always fun cooking away from home whether it’s on a boat or in a camper. Very satisfying.
So is the Irish Sea actually land? 😂😂😂 truely Irish
🤣🤣
Youre most welcome. From my birth city of Preston to my home nation of the Isle of Man :)
Beautiful place you are very lucky 🙏
🇮🇲Welcome to the Isle of Man 🇮🇲My home ❤
Absolutely beautiful place and looking forward to coming back in August 🙏🛥️🇮🇲
Wow, brilliant.... Boating, TT and Dolphins
Thank you it was a fun trip 🙏🛥️
great adventure good filming, Can you give Fuel consumption at the 15 k and at 6 knots. We have a 38ft Nimbus with 2 x volvos, greetings from a fan in The Netherlands
Hi Dennis, 15 knots fuel burn was approximately 50 litres per hour and at 6 knots the gauges didn’t move at all in 9 hours so can’t work that burn but it was definitely not a lot, we had wind and tide pushing us also. Nimbus 38 is a great boat hope your enjoy it 🙏🛥️🛥️
@@BoatzUK Many thanks 50l/h is in line with my Nimbus
Subscribed by the way
Thank you it’s always appreciated 🙏😎
Great Stuff!👍Just found your channel! We run a 38 Ocean Ranger out of Deganwy, done the IOM trip a few times in various boats, 2003 the last time in the Aquastar. It was interesting to see you were at 2100 rpm at 15kts with the 'Ivecos'? Ours has 250 Volvos and She runs at 14 at those revs. Might go on Wednesday (if theres room!) anyway very enjoyable video, thanks😁
Hey, they are a great boat, when I got to the Isle of Man put the GoPro under the water to check the hull and it’s full of barnacles as I should be getting 15 knots at 2000 rpm, needs a bottom clean next 🤣 it was filling up fast in the marina but the weather this week must have stopped a few coming over but I think this weekend will be getting busy in the marina but they always seem to find space, glad to have a Aquastar owner here in the channel 🛥️🛥️🌊😎
@@BoatzUK Hi again! Yeh, your right, Its amazing how the Lads in Douglas sort the job out!! Was thinking of Peel back end of the week or maybe just after TT. Like the TT and The Manx but its more 'The Cruise' this time ( used to race m bikes in the 70's!) because ive fitted a new fuel filter system and had the tanks cleaned out. Did Caernarfon and back last weekend. We got 21 . 5 kts at 2650 RPM !!!!!!! but with a clean bottom as you say makes a heck of a difference. few more bits and bobs to sort out so busting a gut for a mini cruise! Ha! just been watching some of your other vids, nice good on yer👍
@@Richardgwilliams this all sounds great fun, 🤩 I have also a few upgrades to do but you will find them on future videos 🤣 be great to get some more sea time in soon, we are planning going back to the IOM in August for a week, We was planning on going to Caernarfon just before we set off to the IOM but the tides were not in our favour so changed the plan at the last minute, great to chat with you and keep me posted on your journeys 😎🛥️🙏
@@BoatzUK Will do👍
It was a great adventure! Until coming home and I had my head in a bucket and missed the dolphins 🐬 😂🤦♀️ 😂
🤣🤣 sea sick 🤢 🛥️🌊
Looks like a great trip across 😎😎😎
It’s was a beautiful trip and a great island to visit 🛥️❤️

This is great stuff, sounds like your living that dream in the sun also 🙏⛵️⛵️
whats the paint reover called u used and were jet it please
The paint I am using is Jotun 2 pack and it’s from Shepard marine paint ⛵️🙏😎
That makes a change to see the slings roped together to avoid them slipping apart
Definitely this best way 🙏⛵️
I think that green is much nicer matt it’s like ocean green it will look amazing when it’s sanded back and polished 👍
It never ceases to amaze me when I walk around boats as to the amount of people who use non stainless steel screws, nuts and bolts and various other fittings in a salt water environment
Completely agree it’s always a wonder why not 🙏⛵️
لا إلاه إلا الله
Can he fix a boat 🤣
@@BoatzUK I can't but I'm looking for work
@@BoatzUK Do you have a job for me?
What’s happening with the £1 boat bud?
Will be back soon with that, day job has got in the way a little 🤣🙏⛵️
Suzuki engine . Swapped out from the Honda 50 ??
Definitely looks that way now, his next video will be that rebuild with the new tubes also I think
