Pay no heed to the negative people out there. They're just envious that they never pulled their finger out to do what you're doing. You're doing great and come the day, you'll leave them all in your wake. Look forward to next video.
Greetings from Down under...Don't worry about other people are saying !...Most of them don't have the guts to take on a project like yours!!! Good On You guys. for having a go at it!!!....the Golden Rule is the right Tool for the Job is the Key.....if Not it just takes a lot longer... Good Luck...Regards Winston .
Very well said, though bravery is only defined by cowards. These two are on top of the crowd, spectators, and those who have yet to untie from the dock of dreams
You think 🤔 We can't even think about the whole project. So many it is big, just do a bit at a time and it should all come together. Maybe, hopefully. Cheers for watching 😃
I admire you both! You prove the old adage, "Well begun is half done!" You're going to have a wonderful sailing home when you're finished. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey.
We understand how you feel about taking the boat apart, but look how much you have done so far. It's getting better day by day. Be of good cheer. The best is yet to come. ♡ S/V Cork~Texas
Seeing your crockpot, well at least that’s what we call them in the states. I love cooking with those things. Im a single Dad, after a long hard day, I pickup my son from school, and being able to come home to a cooked meal, that smells incredible, it’s amazing. Good luck on the boat, definitely looks like a good bit of work, but those are the projects I appreciate the most. The feeling you get when you achieve your goal, it’s truly priceless. Plus the payoff, and being able to enjoy your work. Ignore the nay sayers, pay more attention to the ppl rooting you on.
Hello Tom! Thank you :) It doesn't seem we are doing much but when we edit the videos and we see how much we've done so far we realise that we've made a lot of progress 😅
Stuart and Marina...I've owned and sailed four sailboats in San Francisco and the Bay area, etc. I envy you the process of "DISCOVERY" in everything you do on a daily basis! Please - ignore the distractors. They are simply jealous and nothing more. What you are accomplishing is EXCITING and fun to watch! Wish I was young again and could be there helping you. I'm retired now living in Sierra Vista, Arizona - a long, long way from the water! Have fun, you two. Know that we watch you from ALLLLL the way down here! John
Hi guys - I’ve just come across your channel and watched all 14 of your restoration videos back to back ! Really enjoyed them, thank you. Can’t wait for the next video to drop. Very very impressed with your guts and determination-congratulations!
Hiya MJ, You’re so right plus it’s our home. If we make some big trips brilliant if not who cares. We love sailing and exploring so why stress. Just enjoy life. Cheers for watching 🙂
Don't be sad. Don't let bad comments upset you. Comments all help the RUclips algorythm, good or bad! You win either way. I love the look of Seabird, I hope you will be able to realise her potential. Be patient.
now i start understanding why You loved this boat so mutch, it look great, the engine room is so big could fit everything! nice Job can't wait to see the result! Fair Winds
Love this channel. Don't worry about negative comments and negative people. They spend more than enough time worrying about other people and making negative comments all by themselves.
You are making a very good progress. The jobs under the floor and engine bay may the messiest and unpleasant work but you are getting there despite some of the negative comments. Pity I live too far otherwise I would be volunteering to help. At this rate you will be sailing in no time bar some temporary lack of hard cash.
Hello Ludwik! Thanks for your comment :) Yes... once the floor is sorted the rest will be easy. We'll get there! It's probably better that you don't live closer. At least you can watched without having to get dirty 😂
Do not feed the trolls it justifies their existance, you are doing a great job and making good progress, just ignore toxic people they are sad bar stewards.
Hello Steven! Thanks for your comment :) Most of you have been so positive and encouraging that it has been easy to ignore any negative comments. So thanks for that 😊
You two make such a great team. Stuart's so knowledgeable and has such a calming laid back attitude where it seems nothing really bothers him. And you you're so funny with your play by play narratives. Good job and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you so much for your comment! I (Marina) have to say that Stuart has the best attitude. I am more of a worry(or) most of the time but he is never bothered... As he says, worrying is not going to fix anything 😅
No pain, no gain…your positive approach will overcome a lot. All jobs below the sole on an older boat are messy…that’s a given.. keep up the "can do" approach..
Just found you guys and enjoying your project! Excellent thing you are doing bringing an old lady back to life! Ignore the trolls and negative 'experts', I've rebuilt three boats now from a similar condition, and have enjoyed every moment - good and bad! Well done you!
Hiya Philip, Thanks for tuning in to our little boat refit. One day we might get her sailing again. Until then we'll just keep plodding away. Cheers for watching 😃
I love what you do, making something 'thrown away' into something of value - a home and a way to see the world. I love the way you transform your environment, and the way you hustle to get a job done. Forget the haters, they're just takers, you guys give something back - recycling on a meaningful scale. And no doubt, it will be pristine when you are finished. Keep up the good work. And I enjoy your chilled video style.
Hello Richard! Thank you so much for your comment! Hopefully we can save this one... It's a shame the amount of boats that get forgotten and left to rot all over the world 😔 We are glad you are enjoying our videos. Thanks for joining!
Big changes. The water in the old tanks looked surprisingly clean. The bilge under the engine was amazing. The boat is going to float 10 cm higher after removing all the crud. When I pulled the old engine from my former wooden cruiser there was about 10-15 cm thick congealed grease/oil under where the engine was. It was a big, messy, job to get rid of it all. Your cockpit drain plumbing reminds me of the raw water intake plumbing on my old boat. I counted 17 fittings on one thru-hull. A plumbers nightmare. Keep up the good work.
Hiya Todd, I bet owning a wooden boat was hard work. We want a clean bilge on this boat. And dry! We’ll gelcoat the bilge once all the new stringers are in. Slowly slowly. Cheers for watching 🤗
Love this... and love Stuarts attitude... as its plain that he is in for the long haul with the small cup...lol... you watch he will tell you its a marathon not a sprint sooner or later... You two are wonderful ... ignore all the negative stuff... just keep thinking like Stuart.... as he is that laid back he is falling over.... can't wait for the next one... cheers Yoki..
Hiya Yoki, Laidback maybe not. Thanks for saying so. We are just pottering around on the boat, trying to see the wood through the trees… Cheers for watching and for your cool comment. 👍🏼
Hey Carlos, Thanks for the positive comment. There's always going to be oeople with their opinions and their opinion is always right 😄 Cheers for watching 😃
Hi... just started watching ur channel and dispite you're uphill struggle, you guys are making real progress, good to see you're cleaning and preparing the areas before refitting the motor and the water tanks, it shows you have the right attitude. Where in the world are you guys.... !!
Love the way you are going about your restoration. Move the rubbish, clean and keep things tidy. You will have a wonderful boat soon. Keep up the good work and above all have fun.
Hiya Ross, We are a little overwhelmed so just clean. We can see that this season it’s going to be a lot of poking and investigating so we’ll know what to do after the winter. Thanks for watching ☺️
I wonder how many people can appreciate what it's like to live in a small space like a boat while you are dismantling it and removing half of it with no running water, no cooker and no toilet ? The dust, debris and heat would be overwhelming for most people and the lack of a floor and places to sit or just put things down creates so many issues, especially long term ! This is a huge task that you are undertaking and it takes a lot to be able to deal with all the issues you are facing and stay positive ! The amount of work to be done is too much for most people but clearly not for you guys and from what I've seen so far you are going to succeed ! I like how you are tackling this project but I don't envy you !
Hello Ian! We couldn't agree more... It looks funny when you watch the videos but it is definitely hard. We are probably managing alright because we come from a very small boat compare to this one and just the feeling of having more space even if it's messier has been a great improvement for us. Hopefully you are right and we manage to succeed getting this project done. We are just at the start but we believe there's nothing that can't be fixed... Even if it takes longer than expected 😅
I did a similar renovation to a 37 foot Irwin 15 years ago. The best thing I did was put a composting toilet in, getting rid of the holding tank and through hulls.
Hi You Two Great Vlog As All Ways You Or Making Great Progress On The clean Up Love To See What You Do Week In And Week Out You Ore Doing So well Well By For Now Take Care And Be Safe
Ignore the naysayers, certainly don’t let them get you down at all! You are living life now, when it should be lived, well! It may work, it may not work, but you will have tried something and done your focused best at it. This is how life should be lived, whatever happens you are doing the right thing. Look forward to more videos, take care out there!
Hey Dutch Nicky :) That is exactly what we think. We rather fail at something that live with the feeling of; what if we had... We think life is more fun this way. And you can't really fail if you are learning and having fun 😊
Love watching you guys, all the way from Northern Australia. You guys have so much guts to have taken on this huge job. You will make this boat into your dream boat!!
if you're a sailing man i highly recommend Tassie ive been down hear almost 2 years now (live aboard) an im still amazed by it. we came all the way from Kununurra WA.
.... can you imagine when you get the first lick-o-paint on those bilges, will be a constant reminder that you are moving forward to brighter finishing's .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...
@@SailingSeabird .... I can imagine the anticipation is high. The key is to have great vision of what you are striving for and remember that whatever you do it is better than what it was before ... thx for your response ... make it an exemplary week ....
Kudos to you two, sailors living "Beyond the Buckle"! Being amongst those who practice dumpster diving , my brothers and I have termed it so because if your not in beyond your belt buckle you're just digging, not diving in the dumpster! Just pulled three aluminum framed slider windows out of the dumpster today that will make it into a greenhouse I will be building at a property we close on tomorrow. I've just come across your channel in my feed and it has fast become one of my favorites, now I'll need to binge through past episodes to get more of the background on you two adventurers. Hang in there, not too long beyond the buckle, and keep pushing forward in spite of any nay sayers who never leave their couch.
Hello Glenn! It is so true... Procrastinating is not a good idea when it comes to boat maintenance... But we don't mind doing all the dirty work. We are starting from zero and want to have a proper look at everything 😊
Hiya Gary, A bit of a result. We are still waiting on another tank we ordered, hopefully next week. Then we can start to put the floor back. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
🎼Alwayyys look on the bright side of life🎶... Dirty work, and messy, sure. But, hey, you're not up to your noses in a crocodile infested river, or being chased by Grizzly bears! New tanks look super, carry on you two, and thanks for the video. Cheers!
Brings back memories of my last boat. It took a year and about 50 trips to the hazardous waste collector to get the bilge clean. It had a diesel known for leaking oil and no one ever bothered to clean up, so it became hardened sludge.
I am very jealous of what will eventually be the work shop in the engine room. That would be great to have. I love visiting the bins at my marina and have found many treasures there although my wife often feels shame when I do. It will be nice to get rid of all the unnecessary through hulls. I have a little catamaran and after my last haul out went to none in the port hull and would like to go from 3 to 1 in the starboard hull next time she comes out of the water. Keep up the good work despite the hot days.
Hello Mike! That's one of the things we love the most about this boat... The space in the engine room! We are never ashamed of looking through the bins. Many people here do it and it's surprising what some people throw away... This boat has so many through hulls it's unbelievable 🤦🏻♀️ We are getting rid of so many of them... So we can totally understand why you are trying to reduce the number of through hulls as well.
Pay no heed to the negative people out there. They're just envious that they never pulled their finger out to do what you're doing. You're doing great and come the day, you'll leave them all in your wake. Look forward to next video.
100%
Thank you so much Anders 😍
We are so grateful! Most of the comments are as positive as yours and it does help a lot to keep us motivated.

'Nothing like cleaning out filthy bilges and making them clean again. It is something very satisfying, but often hard work !
We dream with a shiny white bilge...
One day 😅
Two brave people . Lovely brave people !
Thanks Henk!
They say; fortune favours the brave... We'll see 😅
Very well said, though bravery is only defined by cowards. These two are on top of the crowd, spectators, and those who have yet to untie from the dock of dreams

Wish you the courage i feel you hv... keep going friends. .
Thanks Will 😊
Progress, stay positive and keep going, thanks
Thanks Tim 😊💪🏻
The size of your project is insane. Good luck, I will be following

12mm chain. Gave it to a friend to has the same.
The water tanks was a bit of luck.

Love watching you guys, all the way from Northern Australia. You guys have so much guts to have taken on this huge job. You will make this boat into your dream boat!!
Hello Nina!
Not sure if it's about guts... 😅 Hopefully we can pull this one off hehe
Thanks for the encouragement.
if you're a sailing man i highly recommend Tassie ive been down hear almost 2 years now (live aboard) an im still amazed by it. we came all the way from Kununurra WA.
.... can you imagine when you get the first lick-o-paint on those bilges, will be a constant reminder that you are moving forward to brighter finishing's .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...
Pff... We dream about that every day! 😅 We are still not there yet but slowly slowly...
Thanks for watching and for always commenting Peter :)
@@SailingSeabird .... I can imagine the anticipation is high. The key is to have great vision of what you are striving for and remember that whatever you do it is better than what it was before ... thx for your response ... make it an exemplary week ....
Well done guys you are making good progress, going to be a great boat there.
Thanks Michael! We hope so 😅
Dreams are the seeds of action⛵
You have to have dreams!
That's where it all starts 😊
Kudos to you two, sailors living "Beyond the Buckle"! Being amongst those who practice dumpster diving , my brothers and I have termed it so because if your not in beyond your belt buckle you're just digging, not diving in the dumpster! Just pulled three aluminum framed slider windows out of the dumpster today that will make it into a greenhouse I will be building at a property we close on tomorrow. I've just come across your channel in my feed and it has fast become one of my favorites, now I'll need to binge through past episodes to get more of the background on you two adventurers. Hang in there, not too long beyond the buckle, and keep pushing forward in spite of any nay sayers who never leave their couch.
Hiya, I like the term. This big bin/dumpster here has a ladder. I hope the greenhouse goes well.
Cheers for watching 😎
Keep wearing the Crocs, you'll smash it !
Hello Glenn!
It is so true... Procrastinating is not a good idea when it comes to boat maintenance... But we don't mind doing all the dirty work. We are starting from zero and want to have a proper look at everything 😊
Good luck with the "obstacle curse"! 🙂You two are amazing and don't let anyone try and tell you anything else. Forza!
Hey Ray! Hope you are doing well :)
We are getting pretty good at it. Can almost do it with our eyes closed by now 😅
Looks like the new tanks fit nicely 👍👍👍
Hiya Gary,
A bit of a result. We are still waiting on another tank we ordered, hopefully next week. Then we can start to put the floor back.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Number 2 view! Keep going. You're going great. Everything will improve soon, especially when the weather cools down.
Hey John! Sorry, but you get no points for coming in second 😛
Thanks for the encouragement 😊
Cool guys. Your boat gonna be awesome! 👍🏻
Hiya Martin,
We hope so. It’s going to take a lot of hard work but we enjoy it.
Cheers for watching 😁🍻😎
That looks like some machines I’ve cleaned out. You two are full steam ahead. Hang in there.
Hello Carl!
It was pretty dirty... hehe But that is just a memory now 😅
You are both doing a great job ! We are really enjoying following the challenge you have accepted
Thanks so much for sharing!
As we always say: THANK YOU for watching! We think is pretty amazing that so many people have decided to join us on this adventure 😊
Guys you're an inspiration to us positive people! I wish I was there to assist you. You are building your future as a team well done!
Thank you Gary!
You don't need to be here to help. You watching and commenting already helps a lot 😊
They’re an inspiration to us NEGATIVE people. I’m about to become positive !!!
animo y trabajo duro, seguro que podéis con ello y algún día nos dais un viaje por el mediterráneo.
Vicente!!! Muchas gracias 😊
🎼Alwayyys look on the bright side of life🎶... Dirty work, and messy, sure. But, hey, you're not up to your noses in a crocodile infested river, or being chased by Grizzly bears! New tanks look super, carry on you two, and thanks for the video. Cheers!
Hey Dee!
Thank YOU for watching our video :)
Those sound like pretty cool situations if we managed to survive. It would make for a good story 😂😂
I admire both of you for taking on the boat restoration
This is amazing! so interesting to watch!!
Thanks Mike :)
You both are great examples of people who are hard working and practical. Thanks for being such role models!
Hiya,
We don’t know about that…
Thank you.
Cheers for watching 😁
Thanks! You guys are inspiring
Hiya Spencer,
Thanks for your kind words. We’re just making our home work.
Just doing our thing hehe.
Cheers for watching 😍
Brings back memories of my last boat. It took a year and about 50 trips to the hazardous waste collector to get the bilge clean. It had a diesel known for leaking oil and no one ever bothered to clean up, so it became hardened sludge.
Everything you do is progress to the end goal. Keep up the great work!
True!
Even the smallest job... Anything is progress. Slowly getting there! :)
I am very jealous of what will eventually be the work shop in the engine room. That would be great to have. I love visiting the bins at my marina and have found many treasures there although my wife often feels shame when I do. It will be nice to get rid of all the unnecessary through hulls. I have a little catamaran and after my last haul out went to none in the port hull and would like to go from 3 to 1 in the starboard hull next time she comes out of the water. Keep up the good work despite the hot days.
Yeah, i was gobsmacked when i saw that engine room, that's gonna be an awesome workshop
У меня такая же жена.
Hello Mike!
That's one of the things we love the most about this boat... The space in the engine room!
We are never ashamed of looking through the bins. Many people here do it and it's surprising what some people throw away...
This boat has so many through hulls it's unbelievable 🤦🏻♀️ We are getting rid of so many of them... So we can totally understand why you are trying to reduce the number of through hulls as well.
Hopefully! 😊
This channel is getting better and better!
You think so? Thanks, it means a lot. Trying to do better but always need to improve.
Cheers for the comment 😘
hull looks great ,, fantastic job so far ,,,
Hiya Tom,
Not sure about that. Give it another few month she'll be looking better.
Cheers for watching 😃
