No research on boats, no sailing experience, no real sea experience, no maintenance knowledge, no financial knowledge of boat and marina cost and new RUclipsrs,....mmmh, what could possibly go wrong hahahaha 👍😂.
Newlyweds too,...this is the gift that keeps on giving innit ;).
Good luck you absolute Legends 👍-up,....i'm rooting for ya.
And dude don't talk so much, i couldn't hear the wife m8 ;).
You literally couldn't get a word in there m8 hahaha 😂, bloody Legends 👍.
Anyway, good luck guy's, i'm going to subscribe now.
ThatDutchguy Did she say "cement" ???
A lot of people have no experience when starting out. When i got my boat i had no experience but have sailed across 3 oceans in the past 18 months
@@johnb4183- I thought so
@@mattawa2 Oh well live and learn uh ?
A ferro cement boat is almost as hard as a reef, Most that stuff in there you don't need except the blender for making Margaritas and some good flip flops in case there is glass in the sand or old pop tops on the beach.Not much to know about sailing ,keep the rudder behind you, the keel pointed down and tie off good to the dock in case she springs a leak.Keep a five gallon bucket handy in case you need a pump that works.That insulated box is to keep the anchor nice and cold.That motor[Iron Jib]is optional and is useful only for backing off the reefs, really don't need that.Thats about it!Happy sailing.Thats about all you have to know,the rest is just boring trifals.Oh I almost forgot,when you see a big black cloud approaching put on all your sailcloth because the calm is finally over.Flying fish are not just for breakfast.Make sure ya stay in the shipping lanes[thats what they are for]and remember sailboats always have the right of way.If ya hear waves breaking on shore at night it probably means you were looking at the wrong chart.Don't ask me how I know that.A shark fin goes up and down and a dolphin fin wiggles side to side-I may have got that backwards never mind it doesn't matter.It is customary for the woman to pull the anchor while the man is at the helm.Any more questions sail boaters are a friendly and helpful lot.Here is a secret-most sail boaters can't even tie a bowline just like most electricians are color blind. Why?who knows!Have fun!!!I once was young too!Try to survive.Best bet during a hurricane is to get in the eye and stay there,thats what the US navy does,must be right.Krackens are real!Try not to summon one by mistake.
You should at least binge watch some of the other young sailing couples on RUclips like Sailing Uma, Learning the Ropes and Free Range Sailing. You'll get an idea of the cost of things and how much DIY you are in for with an old boat. If you read your comment section now and going forward as real input instead of angry criticism, you'll learn a lot too. There's always someone in there telling you how you did it wrong - and often times, they are correct and telling you because they care. Subscribed to your Dad's channel and now yours! Best of luck to you two. Congratulations.
Oh my lord, I can't see this ending well.
I think I am going to enjoy this channel. I wish you both the very best of luck and cannot wait to sail away with you. Good luck.
You should get a survey just so the surveyor can explain things like the cold plate fridge, why the oven is hard to open, and of course to see if your cement is in good shape. Because concrete sinks. It's epoxy based cement, but it DOES still have pores.
Good luck. I already like you better than Abandon Comfort.
Hi Kate & Cam. Congratulations!!! Wishing you both a happy life together! Also, good luck on your adventures - looking forward to your vids!
Hey Kate
Came across your channel from RUclips recommending it to us. Couldn't believe it when your Dad popped up on the screen. We've been subscribing and watching him for the last 4 to 5 years.
All the best to you both and enjoy the learning.
Wow what a beautiful boat. So much potential and your blank canvas. Looking forward to see more vids.
Well done guys! Can’t wait to see the next chapter!
Fantastic ! Best of luck to both of you and many happy safe Adventures to come.
Well done !
This is gigantic to be a 38ft, great choice! Looks like it's in amazing shape no wonder you were exited buying it! Have fun!
You guys are awesome,full with energy and the right and positive attitude,congratulations. Fair winds,warm waters,ahoy from Boston.
Popped over from 4xO. Your doing what I wanted to do 40 years ago. Even got the RYA qualifications but could never afford the boat. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Have fun.
i can relate to your sentence "we don´t know anything about sailing, so we bought a sailboat". same thing here
Hi Kate, subscribed through your dads channel. Good luck with your seaborne adventures, I'd advise you to take it slowly, do the maintenance that she needs (she looks like in need of some dire tlc. The vessel previous to that looked a lot better equipped) try and absorb everything there is to know about sailing, do some courses. Ferrocement boats need special inspection. Don't focus too much on domestic comforts, they are secondary to anything else. Feel free to ask me anytime for advice, I've skippered, cruised, chartered around the world the last 25 years. Best of luck!
Your dad was right, it is going to be an adventure!
Should have bought that 27 footer, she was perfect!
Good on you guys! Look forward to seeing the progress! 👍🏻⛵️
Here we go! Proud of you both!
Cool guys. Looking forward to more. Never seen a ferocement boat either. Checking to see the rest of your channel now.
Hello from America, best of luck with the boat. I'm going to stay tuned to see how this turns out.
So proud of both of you!❤
Your dad sent me here, Happy for you young lads, eager to see your adventures!
oh.. you are the girl who i saw in your daddy's adventure channel in Australia travelling, congratulation on getting married, buying a yacht and i'm really looking forward to seeing your next story. cheers!!!
That's good we are all here to learn what not to do, it will save us a lot of time and money, thanks for doing this guy! All the best
a big fan of your fathers and your work, look forward to seeing your journey and adventure.
Looove the video! So cool you guys :) congrats on the boat!
Life is to short to watch it go by. Good going you two. The way to learn is by doing. Enjoy.
Fantastic to see young people having a go. A few words of advice, 'spend money on a brand new engine', it's a big cost but it will be worth every dollar. I've sailed on a couple of concrete boats and also dived on a wrecked one. You need an engine you can trust 100% to keep you safe. Good luck!
It will be an adventure!
Keep the positive attitude!
The best of luck on this adventure!
Cameron , It's Heinrich. Super Happy for you man , not going to lie I was a bit worried for you at the end of matric ; as to what you were going to do. I was worried for nothing.
Good luck. I’m sure your dad is VERY proud.
Looking forward to your sailing adventures...I mean how hard can it actually be? 😂 Good on you both for doing what many folks haven't got the guts to do...
Good for you guys, we did the same last year but didn't get it in the water yet but this year we will.
Really amazing video! Be safe in the harbour for now 😁
Hi Kate & Cam congratulations on your marriage; hope you live happily ever after. Met you both @ Kate's dads Perth meet & greet just prior to you's heading off to Bali to get hitched. Really enjoyed the conversation we had about Kate's filming experience's with her dad and it's obvious your channel is going to be of the same high quality, with that familiar scenes of humor. Wish you all the best on your travels. Do you have a first destination in mind ?
Where ever that be; never underestimate the power of the sea. Bon voyage.
Regards from big ezi
Ferro-cement? I hope you both know how important hull maintenance is on those.
Never scrimp on the paint/coating schedule, inside and out. And if you ding it, you must have the boat lifted ASAP to prevent concrete cancer.
Uninsurable
I have had ferro it is possible to get insurance with no drama , personally i like it as long as it has been built correctly, the death traps built in the 70s have thankfully mostly gone
@@ugotlj4133 OK man. Insurance companies disagree, as a mechanical engineer I disagree, but whatever you say.
Woot! congratulations!!
Ohh this is going to be so much fun hahaha. Good luck guys :)
This is very cool, good luck!
Hi Kate&Cameron, liked and subbed to your channel which I discovered as a follower of Andrew's channels. Wish you a lot of interesting content to post here and elsewhere, for the moment, as a sailor, I assume you have no hurry to go sailing yet with the boat. It is a nice boat but you have to learn and get to know every square inch of it, beneath and above the hull. You'll have to know to repair anything on it when offshore. And I assume in order to better know each other of the 3 of you, small distances, port-to-port sailing voyages circling or circumnavigating AUS or WA coast will be the best way to got the initial skills, practice and confidence.
Your old man inspired me to get a car in Africa and explore the mysterious continent of Africa. I start feeling the inspiration of exploring hte great unknow, the oceans.
Too cute. You captured the dream. We all dream of something. But I've seen the rest of the story where you wake up and smell the mold and oil.
It's a good thing you guys are getting a shipmate for 4 weeks in December, I'm sure the extra hands will help 😊
Keep going, wish you safe journeys ahead.
I'm with that Dutch guy, a cement boat, I'd have it checked out, some were built in factories and some kit boats built in someone's back yard, which if it's a Shipwright that's good, if Johnny I ain't got no money, built it, maybe not so good. Be safe and find out everything you can. This is, I hope, going to be good, I'm going to watch this one, subscribed.
G'day, well done cant wait to see how your first trip goes :-) Thank your dad for mentioning your channel.
Thanks for joining! Welcome to the adventure :)
OMG! Speechless.
If you decide to paint the deck and interior, have a look at flow coat. It's a gloss white fibreglass resin that can be brushed straight on. I painted my deck and cabin with it recently and spattered blue 2 pack dots everywhere and it came up nice. More importantly it's easy, looks good, very hard wearing and seals the fibreglass from moisture.
nick denton thanks for the tip! We’ll definitely look into that when it’s deck painting time.
Nice!.. I am really like your dad's overlanding videos also!
Great. Its like everything at first you don't know....then you know. Best wishes. I'm subscribed. Brooklyn ny
You should look at Lagun Table mount which may help you with your dining table situation.
New subscriber,
Life itself is an adventure..... enjoy it.
Watching this 3 years later and looking at the comments knowing that the boat was actually a condemned disaster feels sad 😢
a real project boat it seems. Blood sweat an tears ahead.
Wow. Now I know who buys these ferro cement boats. Looking forward to more updates.
Yes, I wondered the same thing.
Cement is great for sidewalks...gutters...swimming pools..skateparks...maybe build a ferro cement dinghy to tow behind it 🐧💣🛠💰
You better come to New Zealand and let me hang out with you guys!!
Hello, your dad sent me over. Can't wait to see what your getting into on this channel.
wyattoneable same here
Same here 🤙🤙🤙
x2
Me either..👍
Same
best of luck, nice layout
wow, very impressive. Also interested in you Trip to Australia. I am from Australia and just bought a boat too.
The first thing to look for in a boat is the designer, a good designed will equal a good sailing boat, then look at the builder, lastly look at the interior, a concrete boat won't sail well because of all the weight in the hull, as a great designer once said, the fun in sailing is in direct proportion to the speed sailed, so you will not be having much fun
We get to learn a new way of adventuring. I just know overlanding. What do they call adventure yatching?
Followed your dads link, I used to be heavy into sailing.....I will be again. I used to live on my sailboat, it's a cheap life style or an expensive hobby. do yourself a favor and go meet some sailors....yacht club types are ok but just start walking the docks and meeting people. Learn all you can about the boats, the nomenclature, and go out sailing with anyone who will invite you along (oh yah and buy the "Sailing for Dummies" book). The community is always game to share what they know in my experience. Get some good, experienced and knowledgeable advice before making any structural deletions from your boat.
Have a blast!
Wow a boat sellers dream !
The space sailor 27 would have been a less risky option, and they had a owners club, and outdoor showers are underrated !
I hate to tell you but that engine wasn't having maintenance done on it. That's what an engine looks like when they take it apart and didn't know how to put it back together again.
Im not a sail boat expert, HOWEVER, the interior alone has some SUSPECT details from by years of boating that I would have a EXPERT check out the entire boats and all its mechanical systems ASAP! 38 foot is a bigger size, 24 Dana gets you around the WORLD safely and is VERIFIED:)
Well done, lots of love to you, and be safe
Expedition Extreme Thanks Shaun 😊😊
Today: We dun no anytheemg about anytheeng an bought the fursst bote we saw on impulse pleez watch as we film our other bad decushunz an hope to becum yootoob starz.
One Month Later: We've crashed our boat pleez support us on Patreon or send moneys thru Pay Pal.
WHAT? LOL. I guess it's an adventure. Will be watching and wish you guys the best of luck!
seems like a lot of couples buying boats, making RUclips videos and hoping Patreon’s will fund their endeavor. Good luck!
Well done.
Like father like daughter.
Im curious. How much did you get that boat for down in Australia. Im looking for a bigger boat 38 or bigger
find out where every single tru hull valve is and open and close them , close them when your not on board
Hi kate watching your video came over from 4xoverland, boy you guys have really jumped into the deep end, i hope you guys get some basic lessons done before crossing the Atlantic ocean. Dit you buy the sail boat in Bali? Well all i can say is enjoy the journey i will be following you guys......
Just been sent over by your Father, I think this is going to be fun to watch XD
Good luck to ya...
What is the make and model of the power plant. Some of us might have some insight for you.
What is the make, model & year of this yacht?
Your father recommended this channel and so far it looks like the apple dosent fall far from
The tree. Your doing great so far I thought of a name Should of called yourselves 4xoversea. Hahaha Good luck guys
Be careful
Great start of you Chanel succes ,...... becareful on see it is dangereuses ,.... Gr from Holland
Luck to you all.
Well you jumped in with both feet, now the adventure begins. Good job on the video. Suggest face masks and gloves for initial protection, and lots of cleansers with bleach. Don't pay attention to the "nay sayers" we all had to begin sometime, and someplace. You will get some really valuable advice from all the armchair sailors out there (not). Lots of criticism from those who don't or can't do what you are doing. Go for it! Dave & Linda M/S Olivebank S/V Banyanda
congrats there lots to fix for projects .
I had to rewind the video to hear the words Ferro Cement twice.
What are the latest Videos. Also your latest trips in Sailing. Need updates. Catch ya both on a wave
Very Nice stuff! I have a... Kayak 😒 But It does have a sailing rig (from kayaksailor.com). Just keep on "crush(ing) it by yourself!" 🙂👍
Have you had a survey of that boat it looks like a bit of a wreck
The V Berth where you'll be spending a lot of time with her? Lol (I mean who's gonna watch the horizon, in 2 you'll be sleeping in altering patterns)
Be safe x
Wow. Sell it or give it away and start again. Hard lesson. Best of luck.
A near free boat that will cost upwards of $30,000 to fix - oh and if the ferro cement has been penetrated and the mesh is rusting then this is effectively scrap. No evidence of a survey and you are about to get a great deal poorer even if the hull is okay.
You need to buy a box of disposable rubber gloves!
Hmmmm....good luck to you.
Awwh your his daughter 🤯
Hay Whats happend to you two????? its been years... give us an update please
For context .. did you buy this boat in Bali or Australia?
Australia 😊
don't throw away the guitar!! ajajja
This does not end well... and the man bun? hahahaha
