Love your Gung ho get it done attitude !!! I pretty much done the same thing as u guys around 15 years ago, Bought a 30 foot diesel cruiser on a whim , had no experience at all but learned through mistakes and my kids had Great adventures here in the UK out at Sea all summer !!! I'm nearly 50 now and my advice to young people is take the chance and have no regrets ! Your an inspiration guys keep it up and I'm subbed 👍
What an amazing difference between myself (as I 'update my 18 mtr steel cruiser) and these guys. I heard no stressed swearing, no cursing of the boats or the weather gods, and witness no hurling of tools into the ocean. They sound like a great bunch of guys to be around. Well done maties!
Yo yo, yep cats are definitely the way to go!... Thought you might be interested in a 20ft catamaran I'm building near Sydney Australia... ruclips.net/video/lHIIsAi3Sf0/видео.html Cheers, Aaron
At first glance 6K looked like a good deal for the boat. Yet, after we see how rotten the boat is, hmmm they should have gave it to you. No matter that, I like seeing all the passion you guys have for the project, and doing what it took to make her Sea Worthy... Best Wishes! Carry on!
Hahah ya if we would have done more investigating before hand I don’t think we would have even bought it, so I have to say I’m glad we were just dumb enough to take it on. Ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my stupid little life! Excited to say I have recently bought another 30 foot cat and this one is pretty much all fiberglass wooooo!!!!!!! New episodes coming soon :)
I have built three boats, and the problems I see with plywood, and coldmolded boats are built into them the day that they are built. After WW 11 my uncle, and dad worked for Huckins Yachet Corperation. The company built PT boats for the war then after the war they made the Fairform Flyer Yachet. They didn't have epoxie, but they used a purple glue that they had to keep refrigerated. The wood was Hondurin Mahogany, and it was 2 layers that were laid double diagonal total of five eights thick. Many of these boats are still ariound today.
Congratulations on your new cat! Looks like you're really cutting out all the rot. Love your enthusiasm and energy - keep going hard and get out splashing before the boatyard blues set in! Great economising with the boom truck - I once stepped my mast with ropes under a bridge... LoL! Thank you for sharing your adventures. Brian, Sydney, Top Hat 25'
@@jwillar6173 That's a great idea, but I wouldn't pay for a survey on every boat I look at, that's a waste - Insurance companies usually require a survey, so it's common practice to make a purchase offer conditional to the results of a survey (basically covering the new owners ass to make sure they can get insurance). I see what you're saying, but not exactly relevant when going to check out yard boats...
@@jo3ywils0n39 I certainly would take a marine surveyor along to look at a wooden boat that’s been sitting outside in someone’s yard in Washington for 10 years. A few hundred dollars that a survey would cost, could sure be a deal breaker and save me the $6,000.00 for buying nothing more than firewood.
Hey I really appreciate that, I was proud of how most of that turned out, certainly the biggest boat project I have ever taken on. Had we known how rotten that whole boat was before buying it I don’t think we would have. Thank god for pure ignorance I don’t regret a thing! Ps I finally bought another catamaran and this one has almost no wood!!!! New episodes coming soon
This will be the boat that beer built. Kind of like my bus conversion. Had to replace a lot of rusty metal when I started my project. Some beer helps make the work easier. Maybe not safer but somehow easier.
Great video. A couple of buddies deciding to rebuild a cheap boat on the cheap. Not some $500K hurricane damaged boat. Look forward to the rest of the videos.
The best investment is a survey by a reputable marine surveyor the cost would have been well worth it. They should have been paid to haul it away not paid 6 grand for it. Just a thought from a guy who has purchased and repaired several sailboats and saved money by a second set of unbiased party. Just a thought
Have just picked you guys up fantastic ...have been watching Parlay Revial for 9 months now love watching people recycling older or damage boats good luck guys will follow.
Cool! And I got to hear Larry Coryell's guitar work on "Memphis Underground," Herbie Mann's classic 1969 release again. I'm shopping for a similar deal on a tri or a cat. Glad you guys got 'er done!
Interesting video thank you. Even without mast a sailboat can be boosted 2mph by waves and wind, so add a tiny motor and you can go places without mast. My Ericson 25 in Galveston has tiny sail rarely with unfurling but still a sailboat is stable and great .... Good luck. .. I myself avoid wind and waves, sunny boating is funner and you'll live longer....
At first I'm thinking these guys don't know what they are doing but obviously you got if figured out. Bravo. Awesome job. Just really well done. Shows team work is what matters.
Great stuff guys, your laughter and attitude in the face of a challenge is very admirable. Was not a single moment I wanted to fast forward. As owners of a ply catamaran also it’s awesome to be reminded on how everything can be fixed relatively easily. Hit us up when you finally make it across the ditch, would be keen have a few beers! Your refit soundtrack sounds like you stole our playlist also 👌👌
Hey! Seriously guys! You must chare the Spotify Playlist you were listening at!! The hell of a good music! Despite the amazing work you have done with the cat still the playlist is better yet. Awesome video! Good job!!
hahahaaa, brilliant, takig of the tape off the side by rolling it up turning the head hahaha, best joke ever :-D working the most efficient ever possible. The result is great, congrats on renovating the rig !!!
Just watched everything. Skate video vibes. Glad you guys didn’t spend too much time fussing over the boat. Honestly two months is quick considering everything you did. Excited to see where your travels take you.
I enjoyed every moment of the video. So easy and actually very calming to watch with your music choice and neration. Bloody awsome. Looking forward to following your journey 🍻🤘
min 21 i cant watch this any longer you guys are my heros, i would never ever embark on such restoration the amount of time and money you've spent must be far greater then buying a newer boat lol. My hats off to yas. Phenomenal amount of work!
Sho do wish I had that ol Skil worm drive saw Heyerdahl using there…. Used to have one just like it. …never let anyone borrow your tools on a job site.
I'm rite behind u. Had mine in Port Townsend to refurb. Now in Blaine learning to sail her with La Paz as my first goal. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your vids.
I just found your channel and enjoyed this video. A friend of mine commanded the Coast Guard Cutter in Port Townsend. I've heard that there were a lot of great wooden boat people there.
I had a 43 foot cutter rig sailboat in San Diego bay and wish I still had it. I just don't like standing sideways when sailing. I used to drool every time I would see a cat go by. Saw a beautiful 60 foot trimaran and would have loved to have that. Talk about sailing flat. Will look forward to watching you guys and your adventures.
inspirational video... LOVED the soundtrack. we're also fixing up a 1976 cat... your video is the perfect antidote to feeling overwhelmed by the scope of the project

The sailing ⛵️ community is some of the friendliest and helpful people you will ever meet.
You got that right 😎
That's what I fell in love about sailing
...the peeps!!!😜

You should do a video on your boat updates.
Great tunes while repairing the boat leads to great Karma
Insane amount of work , I hope you get years of joy from your boat ✨
Thanks for sharing
Definitely not the typical refit. Not for the faint of heart. Fair winds.
Apart frm your undying optimism and persistence, your working sound tracks compel me to be your friend
OMG YES!! We need more sailing channels like this!!

Dude John was the man! He gave you so much stuff!
Absolutely. Nicest guy!!
I hope you drag him out for a sail
i love the teamwork. great music ,and the American free soul, that's the dream

You guys are amazing and brave take on such a task. I'm glad to see it floating and sailing and wish you the most luck.
Maybe 600$ would have been a more realistic price to pay for her well done guys on the hard work and dedication put in , boat work is never easy

You are 100% correct and that glue was rescourcinol. I would go long diagonal two layers only all is revealed and all can be fixed.
First, are you from the future? Second, how bad were ww3 thru 10?
@@mwcinci 🤣🤣🤣
coldmolded?
Congratulations on your new cat!

You guys are *EXTREMELY LUCKY* to have gotten this catamaran!
Huge balls to take that on HUGE!
Great journal of a lot of fun and lots of work, not for the faint of heart. Good luck
Lesson for anyone watching,
When buying a boat, bring a small padded hammer, or mallet to check the density of any material, fiberglass or wood.
Better yet, bring along someone who knows something about boats - like a marine surveyor!

Don't forget to wear your masks when cutting and sanding, that's some nasty shit to be inhaling.
Right off the bat I'm subbing for the never ending summer vibes oozing from this
Top notch tunes boys. Looking forward to following along.
Cheers
definitely the best music iv heard on a you tube video for a long time
I would have loved to have been there just because of the music you played all day.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice work. I am sure the original builder is glad to see his boat back in the water.
I am a woodworker and getting those pieces at 20:32 either took a lot of skill or even more trial and error. My hat is off to you guys.

Well done you two, and we’ll fixed too. Looking forward to the next video!
Wow - so educational, inspiring and entertaining! I love your technical skills, your positive energy and your humour. Thank you guys!
I lost your channel in my yt but am so glad I got it back. Was a mission
i love this type of videos, u guys are truly a good vibe,, really hope to see more
This will be the boat that beer built. Kind of like my bus conversion. Had to replace a lot of rusty metal when I started my project. Some beer helps make the work easier. Maybe not safer but somehow easier.
I get itchy just watching the fiberglass work...nice adventure

You guys are awesome! So excited for you that you are following your dream!! Enjoy every moment!!
TOP Restauration! LIKE IT! Best sailing!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You guys are thorough in your repairs.
Pro Tip...get one of those cake mixer thingies from the 80s and put it in your drill to mix small batches
The drums... You just rock guys! Fun to watch you 😂
Nice cat, you will have many happy adventures, look forward to joining you on your journey
bro you can't just invite urself on their journey like that.
I'm dropping a G'day so you know I was watching from the beginning!!!
Have just picked you guys up fantastic ...have been watching Parlay Revial for 9 months now love watching people recycling older or damage boats good luck guys will follow.
Thank you! Stay tuned, it’s gonna be a fun journey!!!
The new word is "upcycle". These guys upcycled a "time cultivated" boat!!!
Cool! And I got to hear Larry Coryell's guitar work on "Memphis Underground," Herbie Mann's classic 1969 release again. I'm shopping for a similar deal on a tri or a cat. Glad you guys got 'er done!
also thanks to the reg number.. I added it to the insurance list and also boat reg good luck on resale

Congratulations...
I wish I had a group of friends like this. Loved the video.
I do but we're getting on in years
Great soundtrack in the background😀
Came here to comment just that!
Agreed
Boom Fuckn boom
Surf and sail. What a concept!
Great sound track! It is nice to see a youtube video that doesn't follows that pattern of cheap royalty free electronic music.
This was a truly inspiring project to capture and share with us! Great job on restoring it to sailable condition!
I couldn’t stop laughing. Yes, I’m following.
Hahaha thanks
Great opening music. God Bless.
That tape removal clip had me rolling good luck with mods.
Hahaha us too. Thanks!
You've both are good pals man. Friends are hard to come by
Purchase price $6,000 + total renovation cost including transportation, labor, outfitting, electronics, safety gear - $200,000 = Acquisition cost of $206,000.
You guessed about 190k too high!
Damn boys. In it to win it.
Hahaha ya doin our best!
Initially,I said..these guys are chasing ghosts…then..you went at it like my Polish dentist…very good work
I'm literally watching this video from Stanwood, where the boat came from. What a small effing world
Lol you guys my idol doin it how i want a cat, my surfboards and the kites🙌
At first I'm thinking these guys don't know what they are doing but obviously you got if figured out. Bravo.
Awesome job. Just really well done. Shows team work is what matters.

Yeah, with a predominately wooden boat you're always gonna get plenty of nasty surprises . I subbed :)
Love this. Great music, great bros, immaculate vibes. Im looking to buy a sailboat project and get it ready over the next few years.

Mmm not so great deal... a nightmare! But I'm impressed about your working team!
