    Well done Huub! I never doubted your ability at all and knew you would pass this. Onward and upward. This is why your channel is growing. You have shown just how capable you are as a sailor and captain and have done really well with this RUclips channel, while working with an old boat keeping it alive and afloat. Mate, while ever you post videos here, you will always have people like me watching and giving it a thumbs up before we even hit the play button. Congratulations again for a job well done!

    Most likely your deck to hull joint is leaking underneath the toe rail. Would be major work to remove the toe rail and re-caulk. Perhaps when you are the hard next time. Otherwise, you might be able to caulk all around the toe rail on all joints to help minimize the leaks.

    I have only recently become interested in boat life (at 65) and have yet to board a sailing boat on the water, although mine is on the driveway slowly being refurbished, but I will get there. I'm a bit old to learn everything you know, but if I was your age it would certainly be my ambition. Heartfelt congratulations mate. Now how about uploading a video of your mum congratulating you, perhaps in Dutch!!?

    Very interesting process, it is unfortunate that you could not have videoed some of your training/testing. Why are you getting your Harbor Master credentials? Are you planning on a business of carrying crew and/or passengers for a fee or are you planning to charge Melania for carrying her on your boat? LOL
