Just know you are blessed.Rolf is amazing in his knowledge, and his work ethics.when you get the hull done,you will have definitely earned the right to own this boat,in blood ,sweat,and tears
Lol, Huub your comment about "construction site banter" was funny. Your right, sometimes it can get quite colorful and raunchy. Like the project and you guys seem to make a great team. Nice job, keep up the great work, we are all learning from you guys.
Rolf... You do make it look more professional. I think its the socks.. love watching the videos. Just so you know. We appreciate you helping Huub. Can't wait to get back on the water.
With the paint stain in his head I've got to the conclusion that Rolf is an older, slightly worn out version of Aang, The las Airbender. Keep up the good work!!
It's fascinating to see how you guys restore the yacht. An impressive amount of expertise not to mention all the hard work you're pouring into it. Looking forward to seeing the transformation. Thank you for the posts.
To be honest, I started watching your channel when you bought this boat, And a was a bit skeptical how you were going to manage it to be honest…. But now with awsome help from Rolf that has not just helped you he has also teach you how to do it, So in the future if you buy a similar project you will be able to do it yourself with some guidance. Also please spare 10min to let Rolf introduce him self and his history….. Would love to hear it. And keep up the great work 💪💪👍👍 Cheers from Sweden 🍻
Hi. Yes, I agree with many of your subscribers; we are all learning a lot from Rolf. It is very generous of him to share his knowledge. I have done lots of small jobs in the past but now I would be comfortable attempting much larger jobs - even laying up fiberglass over my head!
Thank you for letting us follow along on your journey. It's very interesting to see all the steps you must go through to repair the damage on your sailboat. It's very informative & fascinating.🤗💖👍😁⛵🐕
New subscriber I look in your comments and I see all these phrases on this guy Rolf So I start paying attention and this guy is really good. You really got lucky havin him work on your boat.
I am really enjoying your content. Can't wait to see her in the water after you have finished the repairs from the storm damage. Keep up the great work. 💚
Huub, great video on fiberglass repair! I watched you build your first house on the ground in Spain, your second house for rivers and seas and now you are building your third house for the oceans! Impressive!
I'm learning so much from you and rolf in thjs repair, i imagine you are taking care of the cold beers for Rolf every afternoon,cheers from australia mate
I've enjoyed watching the progress on the Catamran. I have a surfboard that has some damage. It's miniscule compared to this job but now I feel pretty sure I can make proper repairs. Thanks for your videos.
The hull keel areas were very light anyway for a boat that might have to dry out on a tidal beach or mud flat . So best beef it up now and spread future loads wider over the hull mouldings.
Hi guys, happy New Year to you both and I just want to thank you for sharing all your knowledge about five but the last thing I find it very interesting The way you are putting the catamaran back together again after being same damaged. Keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia. I’m on the big island
On the inside, use Evercoat 865430 White Coloring Agent in Epoxy Resin. It will give you a finished product just like the resin that is there. Easier to work.
Here's your new angle/brand: "This Old Boat!" You and Rolf sail all over the world meeting interesting people (in interesting places) who happen to need help fixing their boats. I'd watch that!
Wederom weer lekker bezig mannen! Huub krijgt er ook handigheid en lol in zo te horen. Van mij mag die Nederlandse humor er wel in hoor 😅 Veel klus plezier nog. Voor je het weet ben je weer lekker op het water waar jullie je thuis voelen. Groeten 👋
Informative, and an interesting and laborious process! …also a messy, back braking work for the odd positions you guys have to be in! What’s the plan for examining the areas under the keel supports (wood timbers and metal stands with plywood), and repairing as and if needed? Same question for painting gel coat and anti-fouling paint on those areas? Have you had the thoughts that you’ve “bitten off more than you can chew” along the way with this boat and with the many, extensive repairs? …or perhaps a better question, how many times have you had that thought! I’d imagine you have and thought it many, many times! I would have!!! Keep up the good work and one day you and Rolf’s hard work will pay off!
Great work again. Experts. Question: In most videos you see people using vakuum to get rid of air. How can you be sure that there is no air trapped inside your repair?
Like it how you restore the boat and what you are planning to do. But 25 minutes watching stitching fiberglas or grinding and sanding is like looking how grass grows. Maybe Some other content to make things more exciting and looking forward to the next episode
Happy New Year to you too. Learning a lot and enjoying watching your boat come back to life. The music is great roo.....what album are the tracks from??
The thickened epoxy does not only smooth the surface and create a fillet to prevent voids and strong angles, it also enhances the adhesion to the surface. I believe even the West Systems application notes say so. Did you check the lower edge of the keels? Hard to imagine they did not develop cracks when hitting the ground. Can this cat be beached?
Out of curiosity, how long has the fiberglass work for the outside taken? I know you have production / editing on top of the work and release schedules. Is this a couple of weeks or months? You guys have been working very hard it looks like.
Very nice to see that you make that much progress. I hope you keep it up and keep your motivation, you really achieved much more than others on similar tasks. All the best and I hope to see you sailing this year.
Please consider wearing a mask when cutting the fiberglass as the fibers are released into the air while you cut. You need only to have the right light when cutting fiberglass in order to see all off the particles floating in the air. These small particles are being sucked in while you breathe. Take caution.
Hee Huub, mooi werk man. Ik hoop wel dat je het kleurenschema van de boot naar iets moderners brengt, je moet toch de complete zijkanten van de rompen van de boot voorzien van nieuwe gelcoat of niet?
Ik heb al eens met polyester gewerkt maar door deze video's leer ik toch steeds meer, je weet nooit waar het goed voor is, misschien kopen we nog eens een polyesterboot. 👍⚓😊
If Gellcoat is just colored resin, why does it need to be ground completely off to make a repair? You don't have to grind back un-colored resin like that. As long as there is a good toothy surface, wouldn't that be the same as when bonding any fiberglass repair? Thanks.

Rolf needs to start his own channel on boat working! I think he could really get a good following.
You are getting a master class in fiberglass boat repair. What you are learning is as valuable as the repair to the boat!
I know, right!
Knowing how to do it and doing it physically are two different things altogether.
really enjoy Rolf especially his good humour and colour full socks what a great friend to have,
Just know you are blessed.Rolf is amazing in his knowledge, and his work ethics.when you get the hull done,you will have definitely earned the right to own this boat,in blood ,sweat,and tears
I really enjoy Rolf’s channel 😜
Thanks! Rolf is a great guy!

Yes! This is all turning out so incredibly much better as I thought it would because of him!
Great work again Huub & Rolf! Cheers Ray
With the paint stain in his head I've got to the conclusion that Rolf is an older, slightly worn out version of Aang, The las Airbender. Keep up the good work!!
Big damages all over the boat. Incredible work of both two of you. Congratulations for your fantastic work.
Thanks a lot my friend!
It is so cold here in Kansas City, blizzard conditions. Good to see someone sweat.
Your work ethic is unbelievable. Keep at it.
Thank you Dave!
Fiberglassing upside-down very difficult to do, Nice job

Agreed! Rolf may not want to be famous, but it's too late. Would love to hear about how you got connected, why he's such a giving guy, etc. :-)
Lots of interesting stuff for learning... tks huub !!

I will reference these videos when I am going my own repairs some time in the future. Great job!
Enjoy all your videos 😊
Happy New Year to the both of you
Nice work guys
Goed bezig, Huub and Rolf 😊

It's going well 👍👌 great job 👏
A student is only as good as his teacher. Rolf, you did a good job being one. The student has become a master.
Boat fiberglassing, DONE THE RIGHT WAY! Great video guys, TY.
"Neem maar mee", you are missing a great opportunity to teach the rest of the world how wonderful Dutch is :-)
" Neem maar mee" take or use some more. I understand, I speak Afrikaans, one of the South Africzn languages.which derives from dutch.
@@waynewilkinson7423 ¨Van-nikske-nie-bang-skip¨ is for hollanders the most hillarious term for warship. (oorlogschip)
@@waynewilkinson7423 "take it along" or "take it with you" but in a different tone as in 'since you are heading that way, take it with you'
Helemmaal eens ✌
I'm learning so much from you and rolf in thjs repair, i imagine you are taking care of the cold beers for Rolf every afternoon,cheers from australia mate
I've enjoyed watching the progress on the Catamran. I have a surfboard that has some damage. It's miniscule compared to this job but now I feel pretty sure I can make proper repairs. Thanks for your videos.
I get tired just watching, lol. Good job..
hahaha, I can imagine !
The idea of a fiberglass repair business sounds pretty smart and the knowledge you are being given by the master is impressive!
I really enjoy watching your vlogs , its great to see Rolf willing to teach you what he has learnt and pass it on to you , nice work fellas 👍
Happy New Year guys. I hope this is enough to get a beer for both of you. Cheers!
Absolutely! Thank you Jeff!!
What a great job you are doing. So thorough.
Thank you Hubb for sharing
Goeie werk Huub.
Dit gaat een formidable boot wees.
Dank je Mike! Ja helemaal mee eens!
Great progress.
Nice video. Thanks 👍😊
Soon splash back out on the water. Great series of videos and it's very informative and interesting work for anyone with a boat nice job fellas.
The boat is coming along nicely. You both are doing great work!
More glass More strength 💪 😊
The hull keel areas were very light anyway for a boat that might have to dry out on a tidal beach or mud flat . So best beef it up now and spread future loads wider over the hull mouldings.
I notice no more talk of Danelia is she coming back?
Thanks Huub.
Many Happy Returns Hubb!!!!
Very nice job.i am learning lots from Rolf and you.
Hi guys, happy New Year to you both and I just want to thank you for sharing all your knowledge about five but the last thing I find it very interesting The way you are putting the catamaran back together again after being same damaged.

Amazing effort! Nailed the title too 🙂

Might be inappropriate banter but still better than the music. JMHO ✌️😊
Your helper is funny , 😂😂

Looks great. Keep up the great work, and i will be here next Sunday as well
see you next week!
Happy New Year. The boat she's coming along pretty well judging from what you've shown us. I'm looking forward to you getting her on the water.
I think your videos are fine in terms of closure and progression.
Great job
After all these repairs, it will be pretty safe to sail? In case of a storm, can this catamaran survive???
Wederom weer lekker bezig mannen!
Huub krijgt er ook handigheid en lol in zo te horen.
Van mij mag die Nederlandse humor er wel in hoor 😅
Veel klus plezier nog. Voor je het weet ben je weer lekker op het water waar jullie je thuis voelen.
Groeten 👋
Rolf would make an excellent 1st mate if not a co-captain on your future voyages!
Een grapje past altijd wel 😉😆 Prettig nieuwjaar voor jullie 🍻
Very good video, it is looking very good.
Informative, and an interesting and laborious process! …also a messy, back braking work for the odd positions you guys have to be in!

💗nice work
what a great frend to have superb job
I want to know the actual number of weeks this repair required. Very hard work!
Great work ! Happy new year👏🏻🍾🥂
Looking good!!
happy new year for you two guys too
Happy newyear!
Your new thumbnail bar at the bottom makes the videos look like you've already watched them in a playlist like "watch later"
goed bezig
Great work again. Experts.

Goed werk man happy new year
Happy new year
Good video.
Will you take crew onboard once you're back in the water, like Parlay Revival does?
Happy New Year to you too. Learning a lot and enjoying watching your boat come back to life. The music is great roo.....what album are the tracks from??
Don’t see you guys using peel ply , I’m assuming you wash off the amine blush that is created on surface of the west system epoxy before sanding???
Gaat lekker zo !!
Huub - you and Rolf are doing great work. Have to ask, is Daniella still part of the channel?
How do you deal with areas that are underneath the blocks and stands that are holding the boat up?
Happy new year to you 👍😂
Are you still on the hard? I’m in Carriacou, so was going to drop by and say hi.
The thickened epoxy does not only smooth the surface and create a fillet to prevent voids and strong angles, it also enhances the adhesion to the surface. I believe even the West Systems application notes say so. Did you check the lower edge of the keels? Hard to imagine they did not develop cracks when hitting the ground. Can this cat be beached?
Tot volgende week Huub 👋
Tot volgende week!
Out of curiosity, how long has the fiberglass work for the outside taken? I know you have production / editing on top of the work and release schedules. Is this a couple of weeks or months? You guys have been working very hard it looks like.
Well done..
Thanks Bas
I do the work and its not 😮 Easy but he make looked that way...nice job guys water soon....lol😊
Happy New Year, great work :) go on show us the inapropriate chat with you and Rolf :)
hahahahaha, RUclips might demonetize me loll
How do you clean the rollers? Or are they disposable?
Hope to see you in the water and move to a port with better supplies. Will the boat yards cost more offsetting the increased supply availability?
That's the plan!
Very nice to see that you make that much progress. I hope you keep it up and keep your motivation, you really achieved much more than others on similar tasks. All the best and I hope to see you sailing this year.

Hee Huub, mooi werk man. Ik hoop wel dat je het kleurenschema van de boot naar iets moderners brengt, je moet toch de complete zijkanten van de rompen van de boot voorzien van nieuwe gelcoat of niet?
Ik heb al eens met polyester gewerkt maar door deze video's leer ik toch steeds meer, je weet nooit waar het goed voor is, misschien kopen we nog eens een polyesterboot. 👍⚓😊
Wishing you a great 2025, hope to see you on the water soon.
Yeah, if the keel fell off, that would be a bad day... You guys are too funny!
hoe,kennen nederlanders dat wel Humor ... :-) groeten uit Belgie ;-)
If Gellcoat is just colored resin, why does it need to be ground completely off to make a repair? You don't have to grind back un-colored resin like that. As long as there is a good toothy surface, wouldn't that be the same as when bonding any fiberglass repair? Thanks.
I see a bright future for you, young man. Hahaha, typical 💪Dutch🇳🇱 foreman talk, geweldig 😆 👍.
Nog een gelukkig Nieuwjaar 2025 gozers 👍.
hahahahaha so funny! dankjewel!
