I figured that was why you'd left Parlay. 2020 has been a bitch!!!! Is it planetary? Is Mars in retrograde (whatever that means) or is Mother Nature giving us all a serious talking to? Whatever, I'm hanging out to learn what the problem is, whether you can get back to NZ and whether the lovely Martina comes too.... ❤️
Sorry, but I love this episode.. I have watched it a few times through the years..the song and the dogs while you are skateboarding… you gave Frankie a great life. I just wish it was longer.. but thank god he was yours. 💝
My favourite sailing channel on RUclips. Why? Normal down to earth people. Completely genuine and unpretentious (and not creating fake drama just for RUclips like some sailing channels I could mention!!).
SV Lagonda ive been saying this since parlays beginnings, I’ve followed the patterns of how other’s increase ratings, it’s almost political and most genuine sailors can see through this!
These guys are the real deal! They genuinely have broken their boat in half for extra views. The best Delos could come up with was making babies and la Vagabonde’s idea of drama was somebody giving them a million dollar catamaran. Nope, these guys have earned the likes 👍👍
The only thing to be greatful for is that it happened now and not on your long sail to French Polynesia ! I’ll be awaiting your next episode and wishing you the best of luck from Scotland 🏴
Hard to press the "like" button on this one. Keep up the spirit and be superhappy this happened near shore and not in the middle of the Pacific... A major setback, but you will rise again!!!
Love your channel. I don’t think the average person knows how much work goes into chasing your dreams and you guys do an awesome job of documenting that. Keep up the great work!! 😊🙌🌊
@@ParlayRevival Good kiwi reply . When i was 20 (73 now) i bought a 53 ft steel round bige Van destat cutter , sailed to the chathams , mad a few bob , got back to kiwi to find the builder had used the wrong welding rods which caused serious electrolysis so every year would sail to Wellington visit a mate working on the old drydock there & swap a bottle of rum for a couple of Rail ferry Zinks anodes (30 by 8 by 2 in.) they would last the year, 2 trips up the Islands & 5 years later life was good (Sold her to a secondhand car salesman in the Hutt) So when things are looking real bad there's always a way out - Fairwinds my friend
I have learnt so much from so many of these wonderful people. I am still saving for my own Boat so becoming a patron to all my favourite Boat crews will have to wait a bit longer. But you guys are all amazing. Thank you
This is just another chapter in your journal of life! The next chapter is going to be awesome, be strong, be safe. The hardest thing was starting. Keep it real.
While this sucks and is an huge gut check on the ship and certainly a setback to the travel plans, as far as the RUclips and Patreon parts of your "business", this can only be an opportunity for you guys. I'll bet that most of us couch sailors will absolutely be drawn into the process of repairing improving Parlay. That's why some of us came on, to watch your brilliance at mechanics and repair at work! You got this!
Oh man, I’m gutted for you, especially after all the hard work you have put into Parlay. You will come through this Colin, I wish I had the cash to help you out. Stay strong, stay safe.
@@ParlayRevival Colin, can it be fixed while in the water, or does the boat need to be on land to redistribute the load stresses back to it's former norm that was previously "straight and true" ? I'm guessing, but thought maybe a small narrow dock could be used by having PR straddle it between the hulls with lots of fenders wedged in place to secure it while a series of jacks and airbags push upward from between the hulls so they will naturally return to former alignments relative to bridge deck. That should tighten the stays and open up the cracks naturally a bit while restoring proper geometry of hulls and decks while repairs are made to damaged structures. Best Wishes !
@@TimTimTomTom Yes, that was an alternative vs if they were going on the hard for a time to repair the damaged structures. Waiting for next video to see full extent of cracks and locations.
Man I have always been inspired by you all on Parlay Revival. My heart felt so heavy watching the end of this episode. But if all your videos taught me anything, it is that you all can and will get her back in shape. Heck, most likely you will find a way to come out better in the end. Remember you have 55 Thousand of us rooting for you! Hell, I would be glad to come help fix her up!
Found this channel during quarantine and I loved how positive it is! I really hope you guys are able to get up and running again. So sorry you all are going through this.
OMG! My heart sank and was I thought I was going to get sea sick on LAND! Thank the Sea Gods all are safe and sound! Like the 6 million dollar man you will rebuild better than before and make the dream happen! Happy Thoughts and well wishes tot the best salty crew on the high seas! Fair Winds and Calm Seas! Cheers Mate!
WOW! What a mess! With your smarts and zest for life on the sea,you will make this work! Just a big hiccup, Glad everyone was safe,keep being you, hang in there.
Let’s go! Overcoming challenges has made you the sailing super heroes you are today. You will learn something new and parlay will have another amazing story. Ep.8 you said, $$ and determination is all you need. Well, the $$ will come from somewhere, don’t waiver on your determination! And take our collective love for you as the wind in your sails!
Never commented on your videos before but watched them all from the beginning to now. Just wanted to wish you, your crew and your journey the best and I'm sure you will overcome this seemingly unsolvable problem aswell.
They'll be okay. It's a lengthy process to do it themselves but our boy is clever and his team is dedicated so nothing can stop them. Look how far they got so far. Just a snag that will cost time. They got this
Love your videos Colin & crew. Just bought my own little sailing boat a Gib sea 52 and preparing her for crossing to Thailand in Marmaris Turkey at the moment, where we meet some great people who are helping me a lot to get her up to stage. Hope to meet you guys in the future. I know with your energy you will master the situation your facing., you've done it before, you will do it again stay positive, it will happen together with your great crew. Greetings from Turkey and fair winds S.Y. Pinjo
I have no words... just know that when you do reach the goal of finally crossing the Pacific it will be that much sweeter... I'm routing for all of you.
Hey, this was so heartbreaking to watch as we all know how devastating losing a shroud is to your adventures and the boat. Another hurdle has presented itself to you guys, but knowing your hard working attitudes and determination to follow your dreams, I know you guys will just overcome this and we will soon be sailing together again. Hope you and the rest of the crew are happy and healthy. Stay well guys, cheers mates. WE| Sail Warren & Erica
Brother that’s heart destroying, but look how far you have come, the boat was sunk and full of holes. YOU GOT THIS BRO! She is called revival and she will be revived again! 🍺🤘🏼
Absolutely gutted for you all, especially as you were only talking to your mate Neil on English Sally regarding his forestay a few weeks ago.........I know that with your positive outlook and can do attitude you'll all come through........
looks a bit like S/V zingaro in the end clips ??? hull deck separation bulkheads split/separated they almost lost their boat its amazing ... GOD BLESS YOU ALL ARE SAFE !!! KEEP ON TRUCKINN BROTHER !!
This was heartbreaking to watch. I hope you guys get the boat working soon. I don't even have a clue how you would fix that and have it able to sustain the loads for which it was designed, let alone get it aligned properly. You're a sharp guy and I know you'll figure it out. I'm eager to see how you get it done. Good luck and never give up!
Funny how you were inspired by Delos & La Vagabonde, and now YOU are inspiring so many as well Colin!! You will bounce back from these set-backs and come back stronger brother!! Fair winds and following seas Parlay!!!
“Subscribe if you want some inspiration to live life to the fullest,20 years from no you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than by the things you did” I remember when you made this intro after a few messages back and forth, your message is clear brother. Get parlay back revived 🤘🏼
Colin, it looks as if the problem was existing since the disaster, before you bought it. May be in the form.of Hiden cracks, which here expanded gradually with the flexing of the boat during sailing or even motoring. I am sure you will fix it !!!!!
There is nothing that cant be fixed Colin, you have already proved this, electronics can be simplified, major masthead bulkhead compression cracks may need a bit of your serious attention. I am certain you guys are up to it. Watching all the way. Cheers, Ross
Guys we watch but dont comment.....However., just sending you positive thoughts. Remember if a man made it you can fix it. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
Holy cow!! Well, I suppose super lucky you weren't in the middle of the Pacific. No one was hurt (aside from the boat). Dishearting to say the least, but I'm very relieved you and the crew are ok. All material things can be repaired or replaced. You are talented, driven and super hard working. Complete confidence and respect. F
Sad for you guys but i know you will make it. Wish the situation was different to help you financially but at the moment is impossible. thanks for the inspiration, it has help me true the pandemic and im sure it has help a lot of people around the globe. Fuerza desde las Islas Canarias i hope to see you here one day 😁
I've picked up on the Senor Brady vibe. I didn't mention it before as I hate to compare because there are shark contrasts too. The skateboard scene and music were oh so sweet.🤟Kudos to your camera crew. They captured the essence of despair. My heart sank with yours as the story on your face unfolds. Gutwrenching as it feels, things happen for a reason. 💙
Wow so cool, I wouldn’t have known that sailing lavegabond and Delos were the first and the ones who paved the way for you and probably others. Cool bit of info, thanks for sharing 😊
O man what a blow,you’ve been through such a lot repairing the boat and this happens, keep going we’re all behind you ,my positive thoughts are with you👍🇬🇧👍
I'm so sorry too hear about Parlay" you're a talented young man and I'm sure that you'll come up with someway to fix her! Good luck with fair winds and safe travel's ✌
I’ve really never been close to the water but do so enjoy it always enjoyed being on the boat watching your videos very soothing and relaxing and I love the free spirit you have in the hard work keep it coming love the contents and I love that you’re a dog lover. Good stuff
oh my, so sad to watch. i hope this "detour" will not last long. your dreams have been an inspiration to me. good luck and please make sure the boat is great shape before you sail again.
Devastated to see the last part of this video - did not see that one coming! Yours is one of the best sailing channels and my favourite on YT. After all your hard work this year you and the crew deserve much better luck - a real smack in the nuts. Life is never fair and those who deserve better always seem to be tested the hardest. I am sure if you want it enough you will find a way through this latest trial. Will be the first to click on the next episode and hope you get record views, subs and patrions to help out with the repairs. Easy for us laptop sailors to say but don't give up mate. Time to dig deep and call on that great Kiwi spirit we all love.😟
Feeling your pain....in June lightning popped me in NE Florida, took out all electronics, solar controllers, both engine computers, house batteries.......but I was only headed to the Chesapeake, not cross Pacific. Only just sorted. Thx..,watching for Part 2, Andrew
So sorry to see this Colin but don't give up mate. You will cross the Pacific. You've got plenty of time and Parlay is your home. Stay optimistic. As always with boats it just a bit more work and money.
Your filming is excellent. On par with any studio. I am glad to see you blokes do this well in your video productions. Hopefully your boat will come along but that would kill the suspense. I hope things go great for you
I just found this, having done quite a bit of cruising i must say that you were lucky because that would have broke up in the Pacific. And that's a big place to be adrift in a life raft.
You won’t want to hear this right now but, you only regret the things that you don’t do.. Thank god this didn’t give out on you half way home to the Pacific! Thinking of you all, really love this channel and hope this isn’t the end?
My God, this popped up on my RUclips list and I thought it was recent - &UCK!!!! After looking at the date, relief set in. This was what caused the Panama pull-out in the first place. Man what a heart-check for an old man!!!
WOW - so sorry for you guys.... what a shame, after all that work you did on it.... good that it gave out close to land and not in the middle of Pacific...
I’m not on Facebook or Instagram .three weeks without a video on RUclips I was starting to wonder what was up with you guys. I was hoping you were surfing your brains out too tired to put out a video. Good thing it happened when it did and not halfway to the South Pacific without enough fuel. 30 K sucks but you’re still way ahead and you will fix it stronger than new one.sending you some good vibes in return for yours! 🏄🎣⛵️🤙👍🏼👍🏼
that's the attitude my broth ... keep that motivation guys and everything will be possible for you Parlay ....Martina ese mate se ve riquísimo 😋😉👍lo disfruté fumando me un habano 😤...chao Filippo desde Cuba 🇨🇺 atutipleiiiinnnn 😄😄😋👍🤟👏✌️⛵⛵⛵⛵well done captain colin and mate jeimy⛵⛵⛵⛵
Am guessing there was already cracking in the bulkheads from hurricane and finally let go??looks like a major by your quadrant..wow..you guys got this i know the kiwi ethic bro!..see you in the pacific in the new year.....regards from whangapararoa
Of all the people in this world, this had to happen to one of the most beautiful humans on earth!!!! I wish I was close to you because I would be out there helping you figure this out 100%!!! I sure hope things work out and we can all see you again soon sailing the great blue seas!!!
Im Gutted for you guys. I got hit by lighntning 2 months ago and lost a lot of electronics but we both know thats part of the "joys" of boat ownership lol. Like we say in Oz, time to let some of the mongrel out. Youll find a way. You got this bro!
3 года назад
Electronics are not necessary. 50 years ago, almost no offshore yachts had electronics.
I've been recently fallowing you guys in the last few weeks. I don't know much about sailboats but I did know enough that when I saw those lines loose my heart sank too! I have no doubt that you guys are going to fix it! I look fwd to seeing your next video and celebrating your repairs. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
For those of you who follow us on Facebook and Instagram, yes, this is why I had to go back to work on a Superyacht to earn some money!!
:( Hope you guys get you're heads up again soon!
I figured that was why you'd left Parlay. 2020 has been a bitch!!!! Is it planetary? Is Mars in retrograde (whatever that means) or is Mother Nature giving us all a serious talking to? Whatever, I'm hanging out to learn what the problem is, whether you can get back to NZ and whether the lovely Martina comes too.... ❤️
That is some scary shit! Is Part 2 coming out shortly or in the standard release schedule? Hope you guys manage to get going again soon!
Keep your positive mind set! This to shall pass.

When you see their post within 5 minutes of the notice and are already 870th in views. Glad to see a post guys. Stay safe.
Guys, wish you all the best in your endeavors to get the boat fixed again! Just keep going. The nicest flowers grow on the edge of the ravine!
Loved seeing both of the dogs while you were skateboarding 💕. So Very Sorry about everything.
Counting down the days to join this lifestyle when done working. Thank you for the inspiration and sharing your journey.

I dont even own a boat yet and I feel like my dreams were crushed along with yours. Best of luck, You will perervere
was thinking the same and not have the crew they have .it would be the end of most of us at least years of repairs alone
They'll be okay. It's a lengthy process to do it themselves but our boy is clever and his team is dedicated so nothing can stop them. Look how far they got so far. Just a snag that will cost time. They got this
Remember guys you chose this life style. There is nothing that cant be fixed its just a matter of determination. You guys got this...

VERY TRUE!!!!
better not happened at all !

Hang in there you can do this- at least you are all safe

Dude - I hated to give a thumbs up on this episode, but know that every like helps you out.
You won’t want to hear this right now but, you only regret the things that you don’t do.. Thank god this didn’t give out on you half way home to the Pacific! Thinking of you all, really love this channel and hope this isn’t the end?
My God, this popped up on my RUclips list and I thought it was recent - &UCK!!!! After looking at the date, relief set in. This was what caused the Panama pull-out in the first place. Man what a heart-check for an old man!!!
WOW - so sorry for you guys.... what a shame, after all that work you did on it.... good that it gave out close to land and not in the middle of Pacific...
Glad you are all safe!
At least the weak spot showed its face sooner than later, you all are safe🙏 Now , in time you can turn the weak spots to bullet proof! You got this!
I’m not on Facebook or Instagram .three weeks without a video on RUclips I was starting to wonder what was up with you guys. I was hoping you were surfing your brains out too tired to put out a video. Good thing it happened when it did and not halfway to the South Pacific without enough fuel. 30 K sucks but you’re still way ahead and you will fix it stronger than new one.sending you some good vibes in return for yours! 🏄🎣⛵️🤙👍🏼👍🏼
My heart is saddened by this unfortunate turn of events.
Take it as it comes, that's cruising and as many say, better now than later out there. Best luck guys, still you are free.
that's the attitude my broth ... keep that motivation guys and everything will be possible for you Parlay ....Martina ese mate se ve riquísimo 😋😉👍lo disfruté fumando me un habano 😤...chao Filippo desde Cuba 🇨🇺 atutipleiiiinnnn 😄😄😋👍🤟👏✌️⛵⛵⛵⛵well done captain colin and mate jeimy⛵⛵⛵⛵
Am guessing there was already cracking in the bulkheads from hurricane and finally let go??looks like a major by your quadrant..wow..you guys got this i know the kiwi ethic bro!..see you in the pacific in the new year.....regards from whangapararoa
Super happy for you guys.
Mate! Hang tough, nothing worth doing is easy. You have the skills, desire and crew to handle this. Will send you some more freedom tokens.
You got this bro! Y’all have achieved so much already so I have faith everything will work out for you!
Thanks brother!
Sorry to see the rig issues and the lightning, but man I gotta say your camera work and editing are getting better and better! Keep at it!
Shite !! that's a tuff break . Time to regroup I guess..... somehow. Good luck guys you have alot of people rooting for ya'z.
Of all the people in this world, this had to happen to one of the most beautiful humans on earth!!!! I wish I was close to you because I would be out there helping you figure this out 100%!!! I sure hope things work out and we can all see you again soon sailing the great blue seas!!!
Im Gutted for you guys. I got hit by lighntning 2 months ago and lost a lot of electronics but we both know thats part of the "joys" of boat ownership lol.
Like we say in Oz, time to let some of the mongrel out. Youll find a way. You got this bro!
Electronics are not necessary. 50 years ago, almost no offshore yachts had electronics.
I've been recently fallowing you guys in the last few weeks. I don't know much about sailboats but I did know enough that when I saw those lines loose my heart sank too! I have no doubt that you guys are going to fix it! I look fwd to seeing your next video and celebrating your repairs. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
