- The Bennington family bought a boat worth £2000 in 2020 and haven't stopped upgrading it since. The boat, a large, abandoned boat, was badly damaged in several areas. Over the course of 16 months they managed to refit it to start a new adventure.
If you like boats, you can visit the @SailingMelody channel, where you can not only see how the Bennington family works and lives, but you can also soak up their maritime culture!

As someone whos done so much work building, restoring and customizing cars over the last 40-years i really admire all of the hard work involved, the passion and dedication as well. Theres noting more gratifying than seeing it all pay off in the end😊
Respect for human hands, and the will of the spirit of people who go towards their goal. Don't listen to anyone. Well done!!!
The skill and dedication to undertake this project is overwhelming. You people are beyond incredible. Thanks for sharing this project. Happy Sailing.
What a great shaped boat, I had a 60 foot tri a restored in 2001, lived on her for 8 years, great life
Worked on crabbing boats half my life and spent the other half as a marine contractor. In my opinion, buying a boat to fix up is one of the worst ideas most people can have. You need money to burn to do this properly and your boat will never be worth what you put in. If you have a special boat/hullI can see why you would do this. Otherwise just get something in good shape. Every boatyard has an old boat back in the weeds for 10 years they’d be excited to give you (or sell you if you’re slow) but that doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. All that being said, I wish these folks the best with their vessel
Este materialul bătrân și renovarea îi de ,,fațadă,,.Servus.
I was always taught, buy the newest boat you can afford.
Who is got this kind of spare time to do this. Most people don’t.
Done that, got the T shirt. It will take you twice as long as you think, whatever you estimate on the outside and trice the cost.
Be aware...
Isnt it cheaper to build a brand new boat?
Amazing! That was back breaking work! Thanks for the video and entertainment! Health, Contentment, and Fair Seas to you and your family!

What a beautiful restoration and this is the height of the word dedication to something you love! That is amazing what they did bring her back to life a lot of hard work for 16 months but certainly worth it in the end!
Restoration? This restoration is no where near complete. Everything depicted is superficial. That last interior shot is staged, the interior is still a mess. What about the systems and mechanicals? The boat is an empty shell.
This is just their latest project, dumbo. @@JAMaxeRestoration
@@JAMaxeRestoration sir is it an iron boat or a plastic boat?
@@jackwhitestripe7342 plastic and cardboard held together with duct tape. That's' metaphorically speaking.
WOW! you've undertaken a HUGE job. All the best of luck and stamina to you! It is hard work!
Parabéns, persistência e determinação, show de bola.
Such a great family and jack is just amazing kid!!!! I hope this video gets their page a lot of followers to support them on a spectacular journey for this kids dream to sail.
How envious (without malice) of this couple. For the challenge of restoring an old yacht and making it seaworthy again, working even in the cold.
Another thing that impressed me was the fact that the boat had so many metal parts to scrape, cut, weld and paint. At first I thought it was all made of fiberglass, but they only used this to finish the internal parts.
I wanted to know if they had any experience in shipbuilding.
Magnificent work 👏👏👏
Great restoration of a beautiful yacht. Well done,you must be proud. 😊
Jaw-dropping. Congratulations on your spirit of economicality, your team bonding, your sense of not wasting, not recycling, but giving back life to man's first exploring medium. Congratulations, and, should you ever cross Corinth Canal, let me know!
An absolutely amazing Transformation with exceptional Craftsmanship!
Well done!
This is probably harder than building the yacht from scratch. What a beautiful restoration on this yacht, much respect for all the hard work they put into this vessel. A smooth sea never made a great sailor. Happy sailing, you deserve every inch of that horizon.
You have probably never done that. Rebiulding the old yacht is always much easier and a lot cheaper then building a new one. The only difference is, that buying a new one cost you a lot of money, rebuilding on the other hand takes a lot of your time and requires a lot of practical skills. If you cannot do it yourself, better buy a new one...
Wonderful enthusiasm and skill shown while probably dreaming about peaceful trade-wind sailing and also considering hove to for storm condition ! The very first ability I want to know about a sail-boat !
Chapeau! Many years ago I made my dream of owning my own steel yacht come true by constructing one myself but having the hull built by a shipyard. Since I liked my plans, I received it at a very low price with the condition that the shipyard was allowed to continue building it. When the bowl arrived, I found slightly rusty spots under the primer and had everything sandblasted on the inside and sanded everything on the outside. It took me 16 months for corrosion protection, painting, interior work, marinization of 2 diesel engines and all the technology.
you could of purchased a proper yacht & spent that 16 months SAILING duh !
@@garrittp8680 Ja, wenn ich damals das nötige Kleingeld gehabt hätte...Vergleichbare Yachten hatten damals ca. 850'000.-US$ gekostet. Meine Selbstbauversion kostet nur 1/8 du!
Good work. Lots of work. “Anything worth having is worth working for.”
I have been following the Sailing Melody channel for a few years now and Andy, Mellissa and Jack have now upgraded to a larger yacht, which they are restoring and adapting. The larger boat was needed due to the arrival last year of Oliver. They are in the pocess of selling Melody, if not already sold. And are preparing to set sail around the world in the next few weeks aboard their new and renamed yacht Ocean Melody.
It's what you make of it. Hard work and perseverance will make this project worthwhile. Well done family. 💯👍
And a ton of money.
More than a ton!🤣🤑
You guys are so inspiring.. and all your hard work shows !
I've followed their adventures for a long while, unbelievable amount of work, skills,detail, this is a very good summery vid but really needs an update with her sailing ;)
Great job, you saved a beautiful boat & restored it to its full potential. Way to go!
The amount of time and effort that goes into this is incredible !
Вы молодцы, совершили просто титанический труд. И это достойно огромного уважения.
I restored an old pontoon boat years ago and THAT was a crap ton of work, but pales in comparison to this project !!
Респект семье! Всегда восхищаюсь людьми у которых руки растут из нужного места. 7 футов вам под килем!
Все работы по очистке корпуса можно было провести быстрее и на много качественнее при помощи пескоструйки ,в свое время свой катер очистили от 20 летних красочных наслоений за 5 часов до металлического блеска и сразу покрыл суриком ,а потом шпакоевал и красил.
в России любая семья может себе позволить новую такую , прискорбно смотреть как в странах НАТО люди выживают
Согласен, пескоструить целесообразнее. А так, молодцы, качественно восстановили, но трудоёмко, нужно упрощать процесс, не древние люди, вроде...🤔
@@eqyz8039 грабить уже больше почти некого - не будут скоро так жить.
I have worked in Shipbuilding Industry and also being a Mechanical Engineering I understand how critical this whole work all about refurbishment/repairing of an old ship or even a boat. Kudos to the team
It is nice to see elbow grease is still a valuable commodity. Thanks for this infomative video.
Работа проделана огромная,молодцы,большой респект ,снимаю шляпу перед таким упорством и трудолюбием
Работа проделана очень большая. И, раз уж семья за это взялась, значит и время свободное есть, и мал мальские деньжата в семье периодически появляются. Хорошего им отдыха на воде, и попутного ветра. Моё уважение людям, которые не боятся ставить для самих себя трудно достижимые цели, и в процессе очень много потрудиться и ручки испачкать. Молодцы. Дружные ребята.
What great skills and motivation aome people have.
Знать путь и проти его, не одно и тоже! Ни многие люди готовы сделать то, о чём другие задуматься не смели! Великолепное мастерство, умение и труд!💯👍 Всех благ этим людям.
I learned years ago you can either make enough money to buy whatever you wanted new or you could learn how to take something old and make it as good or better than new and like this couple I chose the latter and became very good at it through the years I have refined my abilities to near perfection, and when a project is done, you look back and become proud of your abilities. Then it becomes an addiction after that is a large scrapbook of completed projects. They will love this vessel far more than a brand new one and on a sidenote, it makes a hell of a conversation piece
......or you can repaint a structural rotten boat and sink with the family at the first storm.......
@@draculakickyourass wow such a positive outlook on life and inspiration to others and life of the party
@@Craigregister000 I'm sorry,but the laws of physics in this universe don't change wth ,,positive look'' ,chamanic encantations or stickers with Jesus on the board. A rotten metal remains bad under paint and polish......
Ржавая яхта, со снятым оборудуванием, стоит не меньше 6000$. Яхта, которая на видео не меньше 8000$. Восстановить яхту, стоит минимум 4000$ при условии что большая часть оборудования на месте, металл не гнилой и вы будите делать всё своими руками.... Добавлю - подобные яхты продают с долгами, например за стоянку, это тоже не маленькая сумма и порой больше чем стоит сама яхта. 😂
Plus they will have an “ intimate “ knowledge of every sq. Foot of their vessel,
One last comment it creates one hell of a bond between each other how you look at each other with complete pride
Wow! A colossal effort!
Если бы мог, поставил 3 плюса. Молодцы ребята. Волевые и умелые. С такой женой, как закаменной стеной.
My father, after his stint in the Navy was over, found an old scrap boat, stripped it down to the hull and rebuilt it. It must have been seaworthy, we went fishing in Lake Erie every summer. ⚓
FANTASTIC WORK, You guys are heroes
Felicidades, gran trabajo...ahora a disfrutar. Un abrazo desde Chile
Какие талантливые люди, прелесть, чудо❤яхта обрела вторую жизнь.
Gerçekten sizi kutlamak istiyorum ailece bu tamiri hiç yorulmadan yapmak herkesin yapabileceği bir işi değil tebrikler
Прекрасная семейная работа!!! Отдельно снимаю шляпу, перед вашей женщиной! Она просто умница!) Привет с Сибири!
Looks like hard work and lots of fun and enjoyment.
Great work, excellent team🏴☠
Yo también vi a mi tío restaurar un yate de vela pequeño. Y mis primas estaban encantados de verlo hacer a su padre, lo dejaron precioso. Lo llamaron Polifemo.
nice process of restoration..super
Nice jib guys! You nailed it!
Parabéns família ficou lindo.
You did an amazing job ,love it!!!!love the colors!!!!🔴🫢🤫
Always more cost effective to purchase a sea worthy , well maintained vessel than a "Project" boat. On the other hand at the end of the project you know your boat back to front and the cost is spread over time.
Nice to see someone else knows what’s up.
I would have upgraded the steel plate of the bow in critical areas with 2/3 inch steel plate in case you run into something it would be reinforced, also along the hull near the keel just in case you run aground on a uncharted reef.
It's nice they carry their own ballast.
Какие МОЛОДЦЫ !!!
not to diminish their efforts but anyone can do this. They are awesome for doing it. You simply have to decide you want to and focus on finding the right boat and then off to the races. Do not be afraid!
Seen this done so many times already!
Newest Subscribers, this was us last month, barnical cuts all over my knuckles, but its good when you have done the anti foul and know your boats safe for a bit 😊 Jacinta
Šikovná skupinka,zrekme roky pracujúca v lodenici. Ale fajn.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
tomuch work for me ... beautiful job you two.
Time well spent,, What a grand vessel..
That looks like a lot of work ❤
Beyond Extremely interesting and informative....
Living near the ocean my whole life, I’ve learned the best boat is someone else’s!
Lol😂 funy ash
Владелец яхты радуется два раза. Когда купил и когда продал. Все. Купил порадовался. 8 лет про е б а л с я. Продал. Опять радуюсь
Great work in less than 10 min.
Bravo for having assembled in time-lapse all the videos of all this work carried out that we followed for 2 years... that's 1 Million views... it's remarkable, very good idea, good luck for this sailboat.. .he will have to sail now... Vincent de France (Bretagne)
Браво ребята...
That's probably the best way to get yourself a beautiful yacht!!!
Then you'll be more appreciative of it!!!
And it'll probably last a long time since you'll be careful with it!!!!😊
Wonderful
Good job guys I know how you feel. I’m doing the same thing.
Молодцы,ручки золотые)
Keterampilan yang mengagumkan bisa memperbaiki kapal yang sudah usang
Hai sodaraku saya sangat senang melihat pengerjaan yang sangat teliti❤❤🎉🎉
Nice video Love the team work
Awesome job guys. Looking forward to more.
Excellent stuff bro, enjoy
extraordinary family....BRAVI BRAVI BRAVI
Incredible
Amazing work ❤
Paint looks great till the rust starts coming through again. Should use a sandblaster for a job like this. Do it by the m2. Blast a m2, then paint it before the humidity gets on the metal, then repeat etc. Once you have that base you are home free and it will last SO much longer !
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Сколько сил, труда, за то красотища👏👏👏👏👍
Ficou lindo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why didn't you sandblasting it instead of grinding it? It's way more effective and the result is great. After that u blow away the dust, leftovers "" and clean it. Then it's ready for the reparations and priming and finally paint quite fast. I've done that with a boat like that and the sandblasting took me about 13 hours on the outside but then it was all clean from paint and rust. However, you did a great job and it was fun to watch so thank you for sharing 🙌👍👍
Beautiful job enjoyed the video
Wow Plus Sound System 4" 4Pcs , so longs adventure Mexico City
Loved your story
Perfect ! Bravo !
Incredible.
THE BEST AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍
И жена и муж молодцы. От мечты до реальности один шаг. Умницы
Fantastic and beautiful thank 😊👍🆗️
May be harder....but its infinately more satisfying. To do and to watch done.
Титанический труд'браво🤗🤗🤗
Two epic moments owning a boat:
1.- the day when you buy it
2.- the day when you sell it
Эти люди не успокоятся, скоро возьмутся за новый проект, я в этом уверен ))
Greatest job!
Great job, excellent skills. Id love to know the man hours spent
Tremendo trabajo felicidades 😮
Good job geng salute 👍
