One very special episode, so professionally done, so informative, above and beyond the norm, thank you for your amazing production, Paul
Thanks Paul for all your nice compliments, great to have you onboard
So refreshingly honest about your life and business problems. Nice to see honesty!
All power to you, keep sailing, living, loving and enjoying!
We believe honesty will last in the long run and decided to share all the good and the bad, a pleasure to have you onboard our journey.
@@FeeltheBreeze Heading to Neiuvween from UK on Friday for a long biker weekend.
Always a welcoming country 👍
I'm a bit late watching this week's video! 🤣 I was happy to see the "Alkmaar" sign - my sister and her family are visiting the Netherlands later in the year. They are doing a "trace your roots" kind of tour since her and my ancestors are originally from Deventer (±1680's), and on their tour they couldn't resist going to the legendary cheese market there. Gerben - I just have to take my hat off to you. I can imagine how trapped you must have felt when going through those troubles. I know exactly how fortunate you are to have had someone to love and support you in that time.
I agree it is a whole bunch of money to refit the boat, but the result is impeccable. I would say you got a whole lot of value in that deal.
Lots of love to you all.
Hahaha Henk, you are never to late ;) Deventer is near where my parents parttime live and going to the cheese market in Gouda is absolutely a must do. Thanks for your nice compliments, without Rianne I wasn't here anymore, after 12 years of fulltime work and seeing all the hard work vaporizing in front of my eyes I couldn't handle. I am lucky man with Rianne at my side and the refit is indeed a whole bunch of money but the value of the PS has increased a lot and it is definitely worthwhile. Much love from all of us and glad to have you onboard.
This was one of the best episodes. Feels genuine and shows that buying a 15-year-old boat, you always should put away a considerable amount to make it seaworthy again. I have been under the impression that LiFePo4-chemistry is very safe, not like the Li-ion chemistry that caused the bad reputation about batteries that caught fire. Thanks for sharing all the costs. It helps with my own calculations. Cheers.
WoW, thank you so much, put a lot of effort in this video, so much to tell and explain and didn't want to make it too long. LiFePo4 is indeed very safe, many people think they are the same as Lithium and we did not want to take a risk with the insurance company. Great to hear it helps you doing your own calculations, will host some in depth conversations on Patreon for a real deep dive. All the best.
Dear friends, I apologize for the absence in the last two videos. I'm moving...! With the death of my father, we decided to sell their apartment to help with the costs that my mother has every month. Today I found time to watch this video and, as always, I loved it! When I started following you, Perfect Sense was just being renewed. So it was really cool to watch this video with all the details of the renovation. Kisses & hugs from this old Brazilian sea wolf.
Dear Eloi, no worries and thanks for sharing this with us. So sorry to hear your father passed away, our condolences. You are with us for a long time and we really appreciate it, one day we will meet. We missed you during the Breathwork session with Steven, we can send you the link of the replay if you are interested. Please join our community on Circle: bit.ly/3pmznXF
A good honest post , Well done , Life is not a rehearsal - ENJOY
Thanks.. life is not a rehearsal... love it!
Brilliant round up Guys, thank you for sharing this.
Nice, nice, nice!!! I was watching this episode with a smile on my face)) It's so familiar for me... every job done on your boat, every amount you told)) It is nice that once you've made such a big refit you become a specialist!
Thanks, great to read you had a smile on your face, in the end that's all what matters, I would not consider myself as a specialist but very happy I know the boat inside out, at least, almost ;)
Hats off to you guys, you have discovered like i have a taboo subject most youtube sailing vlogs are reluctant to discuss- the real cost of things and experiences. please tell us the costs of everything you do. top job. the landy guy.
Thanks Martin, the moment we started our RUclips channel we made the decision to share almost everything and be transparent about the real costs, sponsorships, deals etc. We always aim to get the best deal also for our Patrons. Thanks Landy guy, Lilly is on the road again ;)
Great episode, you come across as an honest guy, a rare and important quality these days, i wish you and your family look and look forward to more episodes.
Thanks Carl, we keep them coming and when we decided to start our channel we agreed we would share the good, bad and ugly.
Ah loved this video, look forward to each and everyone! Beautiful family beautiful boat wonderful advantage!! Thank You for sharing!!
Thanks David, great to have you onboard our journey
What a fantastic video- and as always- the rare candor in revealing the costs of the refit! I also thought Gerben in the stockade giving his thanks to Rianne was so touching!!! I finally have found time to watch the latest videos (electric yacht & OBR interview for Ocean Race) - plus; great scenery of your home country!!! As ALWAYS- fantastic vlogs! 🧡🧡🧡 Michelle
Thank you Michelle, so nice to hear from you and great you found some time to watch the latest vids. Such a pleasure to have you onboard our journey. Much love from us.
I have enjoyed this episode, very clear on all the refit cost. Thank you
Great to hear Howard, you are very welcome.
Wow! Thank you, Gerben for your amazing vlog, and Jeez! what a jaw-dropping cost for a refit.....very scary! I know it was what was required and necessary for your sailing adventures. In some strange way was well worth it, and essential.
Again, Thank you for the insight it was a very informative vlog, and such an easy vlog to watch.
You guys are an absolute inspiring couple to watch/follow on RUclips. Thank you ever so much.
Thank you Steve for your support and nice comments, we love to read them. Love to have you onboard our journey and Feel the Breeze.
It's so nice to see 30,0000 subscribers
Yaaaaah you will be at one Hundred thousand in no time.
You have come a long ways your presence on camera is very natural now
This was an excellent episode!!!
The wrap is taking hold over here now
It's the rage in Florida
Maybe you could explain how easy it is to clean the wrap just a thought.
My health is improving I've gained 3 pounds
With all my love Denny from Minnesota
Yesss, 30K, our goal for this year is 100k so we keep improving and thanks for the compliments, so great to read your health is improving and you gained some pounds. We wish you all the best and much love from us. Keep fighting!
Another tip to not have to pay import duties nor VAT on your euro imports is to use your foreign flag. I didn’t pay any imports nor VAT on a new engine and sails due to my boat being US flagged. The only thing you need to ensure is that when you leave the country (even if it’s only for 1 or 2 days) with those new items you checkout properly with Turkish customs.
Thanks Michel for the clarification, for us it was impossible to check out due to the COVID and hard border closing with Greece. But now under ‘normal’ circumstances this is indeed the case, thanks for sharing.
Excellent video presentation, amazing journey that you have been on and blessings to the family especially your beautiful wife and son 🙏🙏💕💕⛵️⛵️⛵️
Thanks Kathleen, you are always there to support us and much love from us.
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Rick, great to read
Thanks guys.... wow, what a process. Very informative. 💙
Thank you Mark for watching and letting us know, great!
Really excellent presentation . Your focused, clear fast run through of the refit was excellent. I loved the part that also included your business mistakes. I had a simular situation when I bought a $2Million apartment complex with my brother and trusted him and did not read the loan documents. Cost me a insane amount of money. Trusting someone when we should not. More acknowledgements of these mistakes is helpful. I realized that what is so .
So much to tell so I had to speed up the pace a bit. Sorry to hear about your situation and the devil is always in the detail, I was tired at that moment and that was fatal, I always ask myself the question if I wanted to miss the whole journey and I can truly say, NO WAY! It was a journey of a lifetime with so many learnings inside. Wish you all the best!
Thank you, your inspiration is priceless and goes a long way.... blessings to you guys and safe and joyful journeys.
Thanks Ace, really appreciate it, much love from us.
How fabulous. And next week even more techno stuff. Yipeeeeeeeee.
Hahahaha Jennifer, thanks!!! Much love from Levanto ;)
Love the idea of wrapping, plz keep us updated on how well it's working.
We will Clay
Great video! Thank you very much for sharing
You are very welcome
Great history. Nice small town. You two will be fine. Beautiful boat and your both taking good care of your investments! It’s evident in the way she looks! Blessings
Thank you, the Perfect Sense is everything for us on so many levels. Much love from us.
" I wanted to be sure WHEN we catch fire" I'm not sure you quite ment it like that but I did make me laugh..
Hahaha glad I put a smile on your face ;)
Awesome editing and production quality for a Utube self shot!
Thanks Ken, all credits regarding editing are for Pedro our legendary editor.
Son geniales, muchas felicidades y que pronto se cumpla tus deseos. Saludos desde Mexico
Muchos gracias
Gerber excellent video! Enjoyed it all especially the tour of the towns. I admire you for coming a long way through your adversity and honoring your father!
Please remember that God is in charge and wants you to follow Him.
At one point in my life I got to be friends with a Dutch family that was doing business (commercial real estate) in Colorado
Thank you so much, Sloten is a very nice city and it brought back a lot of memories. The Dutch are everywhere, such a small country but widely spread around the world and with an entrepreneurial spirit most of the time. Yes we have too ;)
Very personable and knowledgeable owner. Nice boat . Pleasure to watch . Stay safe.
Thanks Paul for the nice compliments
@@FeeltheBreeze you are welcome
Good report! Magnificent yacht!
Thank you, our love of our life. 😍
One more detail that I thought was fantastic, it had subtitles in Portuguese, for the first time in your videos...!!! Really good! 👊🏼
Love it, we will click Portuguese from now standard
Hi Mate some times life gives you a kick in the guts I know it has happen to me as well .I like the way you opened up and told us what happened to you one day I would like to catch up with you and have a chat over Lunch and a Coffey . I am just about to take on my new yacht soon and by the end of this year to set sail to the Med from Sydney Australia so stay safe and feel the Breeze in your sails. From Sv oneday
Hi Craig, would be wonderful to catch up and have a lunch, we know some good places over here ;) We wish you all the best with your new yacht and safe passage making all the way to the Med, we met a lot of Aussies over here. Nice name SV Oneday!
Well done great video! Thanks to you, I got to know YachtWorks and started an overhaul on my boat with them since January 22. I can only confirm if not applaud harder for their quality of work and speed of response. Indeed, not the cheapest in Turkey! But you want your beautiful baby to be well taken care by quality people, not the cheapest quoter. Special thanks to Can and Emre, great to get to know you guys! Great Job YachtWorks!!
That's great to read Sertac, fantastic you found YachtWorks via us. They are the cheapest in the end. Can and Emre are great and a good team together. Wish you a lot of fun and please send our regards to the complete team, they are like family.
Zo , dat is wel een hele dure zeilboot geworden . Je hebt wel de aller , allerbeste accu 's die er bestaan . Ik ken dat bedrijf door andere vloggers , die zijn hier heeeel positief over , maar wat een geld . Wij hebben semi tractie accu 's en een 3500 generator en 2 165 ah vetus accu 's, 2 90 ah startaccu 's en een 75 ah startaccu voor de generator . Mijn eerste pakket accu 's is 18 jaar meegegaan, dat vond ik echt geweldig. We koken elektrisch, geen gas aan boord. Maak je niet te druk over het geld , geweldig dat je Rianne bent tegengekomen en dat daardoor je leven deze kant op is gegaan, het heeft zo moeten zijn en ookal wil je zo graag voor je gezin zorgen , misschien doe je dat door ze gelukkig te maken .
Hoi Martin, wat gaaf om te horen dat jullie accupakket 18 jaar is meegegaan, dat betekent zeer zorgvuldig gebruik, de accu's van SuperB zijn inderdaad een rib uit het lijf en wij zijn dan ook zeer dankbaar dat wij Brand Ambassadors van ze zijn zodat de ribben nog in de ribbenkast zitten. Elektrisch koken is the next step voor ons, eerst solar ;) Als een man wil je graag voor het gezin zorgen en dat komt er weer aan, probeer ze elke dag gelukkig te maken en meestal lukt dat en soms even niet. Embracing the waves of life ;)
Thank you Gerben for all this informations 😊👍 I expect nearly the same costs to reift our B 57 after all.
You are welcome Don... good luck with the refit, it's a beautiful journey to understand your B57 in every detail
Thank you very informative cheers 🍻
You are very welcome.
Great story, amazing.
Thank you Onur
what a beautiful boat you guys have, love the story
Thanks Ian!
Again a fantastic video. Congratulations from Spain.
Muchos Gracias Juan
Great work on the life recovery - not easy to come out the other side while still under the kosh financial. Coming to terms with guilt, overcoming recurring sense of doom etc Really very helpful on the refit costs - Im buying an old boat and already been recommended Turkey for an interior refit - I'll try out the guys at Didim. Also some tech items will take the tip on bringing it with me. Cheers both
Great to hear Harrison and thanks for the nice words. Please send an email to gerben@feelthebreeze.nl HE can bring you into contact with Didim and share some more in-depth experiences we had. Have a great day!
What a interesting story guys well you know what it is all behind you now and it is all new beginnings now 😇😇
Thanks Louis, indeed! This all made Perfect Sense for us and we love the life we created. Much love from us.
You're doing good if you can keep boat upkeep costs under $50K a year. Good timing on your refit, by next year prices will have doubled. In North America a lot of owners are going with liability insurance only because of outrageous rising costs. You know what they say, the sailor with no insurance, is the safest sailor on the water! Fabulous lifestyle choice, enjoy.
Absolutely, the price of teak already doubled so we are very happy we did the refit last year, we can imagine insurance companies are facing difficulties with so many "idiots" on the water, we got hit by charter boats because they did not know how to anchor and started dragging with just 15 knots of wind, on the other hand it's ridiculous how many new boats are fitted and delivered with light anchors.
Thank you. You are amazing ... One of my dreams is to sail. Maybe to own a boat in the future. That would be nice ... having freedom ...
Take care. Much love 😊😊😊
Freedom is what we love, it's our primary core value and we can highly recommend sailing and owning a boat to have the ultimate feeling of freedom.
I really enjoyed this wonderful episode. Thanks for sharing your experiences, insights and costs of the total refit. Much appreciated. Seeing your beautifully wrapped hull made me thinking to do this as well instead of a paint job this summer. Would you mind sharing the brand and color code of the glossy dark navy blue vinyl wrap above the waterline you've used? Thank you.
Great to read Egmond, we used 3M and we can't remember the color code, maybe if you watch the episode where we apply the wrap you can find it. We love the color, at sunset it turns deep purple/blue.
Hi Gerben. I am sailing in Caribien now. Just now in island of Grenada. Keep on sailing......
The legendary Thomas, can't wait to have some memorable evenings with you, should I bring some shirts from Bodrum?
@@FeeltheBreeze Sure, buy some for me😁. So you are in Bodrum, love that town.....i have a beautiful wether here 35 in air and water.
Mooie video. Leuk om te zien wat er allemaal gedaan is.
Dank Rob, dit was een soort samenvatting van de gehele refit, we hebben in vorige video's veel aandacht aan besteed, hadden er achteraf wel 50 van kunnen maken. Heel blij met het eind resultaat.
@@FeeltheBreeze Hoop binnenkort een eigen boot avontuur te gaan beleven. Botenmarkt is nu alleen crap. Keek eerst naar Beneteau Oceanis 50 2007, in 2021 was die nog 130k nu staan ze voor 170-200k. Heb het nu in mijn hoofd om een Jeanneau 53 4 cabine charter om te bouwen naar 3 (queen cabin achterin). In de aanleg kan dat namelijk met beetje CNC en CAD werk.
Gaaf en zeer informatief! Alleen jullie refit koste al 10x meer dan mijn boot, maar die is dan ook een stuk ouder en kleiner (en van staal)... Dit voorjaar gaat daar een boel van aangepakt worden en nu ik deze aflevering heb gekeken, krijg ik er ook weer een beetje zin in want ik kijk er best tegenop om het allemaal zelf te doen 😬. Een elektromotor staat voor de toekomst nog op de wensenlijst, maar dat vind ik nog wel erg aan de prijs, ben wel benieuwd wat je in de volgende aflevering daar van gaat laten zien.
Gaaf om te lezen dat jij er ook zin in krijgt, het is z'on mooi proces om mee te maken, bij ons staat nog een totale refit op de planning met een kleinere boot inclusief electro motor... Volgende week ga je ook mooi vinden. Succes met de refit en geniet van alle stappen, het is het echt waard.
That refit was costly but I am glad for the video as it confirms I don’t need a larger boat as the upkeep is just to much for me.
A bit late to the game of watching your channel.. Do like the entire story from the beginning..There are a lot of valuable leesons to be learned.
This video is just outstanding as it is very well recorded and narrated.. Also, now knowing the entire story, you very delicately included some deeper felt emotions in the background, but the good news is that you seems to be in tune with the real meaning of "La joie de Vivre"
Wish Rianne "het allerbeste" met haar tweede blessing..
Never too late Frans... thank you for discovering our channel and your wonderful message. Rianne just read it out loud to me during breakfast and you gave us a feeling of proudness. You took the time to deep dive into our story. Have to admit, it took me three days to record all the taling scenes due to difficulties as a solo vlogger and for me difficult topic. We have indeed found the tune we call Feel the Breeze and embracing the waves of life, that's our why we have our logo ;) Rianne voelt zich gelukkig al iets beter sinds twee dagen, het is een feest om jouw aan boord te hebben van onze reis. Hele fijne dag!
@@FeeltheBreezeSent you an email..
Thats is a big help. I hope I can find a new teak deck in America for 27 grand . Fingers crossed . I’m in my boat right now for 150 grand . A tayana 55 cc . It appraised for 200. So far so good . There’s a 1984 57 Nauter Swan that’s been abandoned in the Marina I’m at. I bet she’s a fast one. Sailing Sv Bohemian.
Great to hear, we cross our fingers for you too! If you can find a good boat yard it's worth the price, a Nautor Swan is a dream of course ;) We wish you all the best with your new teak deck.
Its a top video of you , I follow you since the boat was in Turkey . Follow your heart with people , I did not do that from 2003 till 2006 and lost 6M , you know what I mean , look in their eyes and you will see it . Verder heb ik nu ff veel van jou/jullie geleerd over repaint of wrapping , pff , wist ik niet . Ik zou graag gaan zeilen , het punt is echter dat ik ook al sinds 2008 bewust alleen ben , nu een boot kopen , ik heb wel een Oyster 625 ( ben al eens op deze boot naar de Miami over gestoken ) op t oog , alleen is dat echter niet te doen , een vriend / Kapitein heb ik wel , dat is echter niet wat het zou moeten zijn , dus ik vermoed dat ik eerst nog met mijn Sprinter 4x4 RSX van Palmo ah reizen blijf . 5 dagen of grid is geen probleem . Ja , je hebt een schat van een vrouw bij je , wens jullie schitterende reizen toe . Misschien kom ik eens een vriendelijke sportieve dame tegen die nog wel rond de wereld wil zeilen met mij .
Thanks Teddo, great to read you are following us from almost the beginning. Indeed, follow your heart, in a moment of tiredness I just forgot it... We both learned the hard way ;) Een Oyster 625 is prachtig maar sole zeker een uitdaging, de B57 noemen ze ook wel poor mans Oyster ;) Een Sprinter 4x4 is super gaaf en een schat van een avontuurlijke vrouw komt zeker op jouw pad, dat kan niet anders.
Excellent video. I’m drawn towards the Beneteau 57. Beautiful design and great layout. I’m a few years away from purchasing one as I have some other financial goals to achieve first - but this video was very helpful to understand the ongoing investment.
Great to read, keep going and wish you all the best with your journey 😍
Very informative thanks. Have you our anyone you know had to replace or repair the balsa cored RIB? And. how is the size of the 57 for Med ports. Are there many ports that exclude boats over 15 metres from mooring to the quays, or from the ports?
You are very welcome, we never heard about anyone who replaced the balsa core, the size is not a problem at all in the Med.
Nice vid. Gerben! 👌
Thanks Nanno, let's go for a catamaran ;)
@@FeeltheBreeze 😂. Jep. But first refit Stormvogel. Just because we can. And hey it’s a Beneteau with a teak deck.
Perfect vlog Gerben. Very professional and good to see you have recovered from your bankruptcy. Still have a question. Are there, due to the inflation of the turkish Lira, financial benefits to do a refit in Turkey.
Thank you, still recovering and almost back on my feet again to get fully ignited again. We paid the boatyard in euros so the inflation wasn't beneficial for us except for our living costs of course.
Thank you very much for this video which I found very interesting. I didn't understand everything but because of my understanding of English, except it's a video I will be able to listen to it again. I was thinking of a higher price for a rebuild. It must be said that this is your house and of course placing the same price on a repair of a house you can have more but you will not go far in distance, compared to what your sailboat will give you. It's all in the vision that you see things. But the price that I found low was the installation of the colored membrane instead of painting the boat. I have a question regarding this membrane. Does it form more algae below the waterline?
Thank you and have a nice week on dry land
Thanks André and you are very welcome, such a pleasure to have you onboard. The PS is our floating home and a piece of equipment to sail us over the world without the use of a lot of diesel. We have two types of wrap, one above the waterline and one underneath, the one underneath is an anti fouling and this one is not toxic compared to all the other products on the market. We will keep you updated about the progress about this, does this answer your question?
Dit was een mooie aflevering. Informatief en bovendien echt professioneel gemaakt. Ik vond het de afgelopen afleveringen een beetje saai worden omdat ik persoonlijk meer van crossings en lange afstand zeilen naar tropische oorden houd, maar deze aflevering maakt veel goed.
Veel succes met jullie kanaal.
Dank Peter, blij met om te horen dat jij dit een mooie aflevering vond, begrijp wel dat jij de afgelopen afleveringen een beetje saai vond, vonden wij stiekem ook wel een beetje echter vinden het wel even heel fijn om even "rust" te hebben zodat wij weer veel lange crossings kunnen gaan maken, wij hebben mooie plannen in het verschiet. Kom maar door met de feedback, houden wij van. Hele fijne avond.
Gerben, I loved your early episodes - travelling through Europe, the refit of your boat etc. Then you took forever to leave Turkey (not your fault), but to be honest, since then not much has happened. I subscribed, and eventually unsubscribed, which I felt bad about. You’ve made a number of comments about liking honest feedback, so I’m providing it. Hiding it a little among the Dutch comments! I feel that you guys have such potential, but there’s only so much artsy sailing I can watch! For what it’s worth, more needs to happen, like on Sailing Zatara, the Wynn’s, La Vagabonde etc. Good luck, you guys are great and I’m sure you’ll find your formula.
A friend of mine after five years circumnavigation they refited their Alubat 45 in the same shipyard.
Great to hear, YachtWORKS has many returning customers and we know why.
Quite an interesting and informative video. Isn't teak wood very hot to the feet in the hot sun? Stay groovy and stay safe.
Thanks, yes teak is very hot in summer but part of the Perfect Sense.
Zou maar een standbeeld maken voor Rianne! Wat een Topwijf.
Absoluut, kan niet anders zeggen Marc, wat zij heeft gedaan is onwerkelijk, binnen 3 maanden relatie je nieuwe vriendje van geslaagde zakenman met zeilboot naar de afgrond zien gaan en dan zorg dragen voor alles en geloven in het feit dat het allemaal uiteindelijk weer goed gaat komen, zij is zeker een heldin en standbeeld waardig!
I was massively disappointed not to see the photo of when you were a child in the stocks!
hahaha totally agree, I searched several hours, asked my mom and we found out the photo album is onboard the Perfect Sense, will send it to you the moment I found it.
@@FeeltheBreeze Looking forward to it!
Thanks for sharing your story!
I think you came out ok - to personalize the boat and to make it your own.
Thanks Ian, working on it, every day ;)
Très très intéressant comme épisode 👍 et très beau pays que la Hollande !!
Merci beaucoup Frederic
Hi, guys! I've been following you for quite some time and I really love what you are doing. I am on the market for buying a b57 myself but I want a shallow keel which is hard to find. There are only deep keel b57 for sale right now. I heard your friend Pim who owns Sodade saying he changed the keel to his boat from a 2,6m to a 2.1m. Where did he find a shallow keel as a spare part? How much did it cost? Please help me with some answers because I could not find answers to this problem anywhere. Thank you. Fair winds!
Hi Andrei, thanks for following our journey and the B57 bug has bitten you. Shallow keels are indeed hard to find and Pim found the shallow keel at Beneteau, don't know about the costs but he sold his deep keel for the lead price and this was a couple of years ago more than 10k in euros.
@@FeeltheBreeze Hi, Breeze Family! I am so glad you answered!!! I relate very much to you because I am a survivor too. 7 years now! At least, I didn't loose my company but I've never been a millionaire either. I charter every year in Greece for a month. Last year I chartered a b57 for a week and it changed my world. So Pim found his short keel at beneteau. I will ask them. Thank you again for answering. Kind regards and fair winds!
I love your Landy but I was always afraid of the high fuel consumption...
Lilly is legendary... the fuel consumption is not too bad to be honest, the road tax in NL is killing though.
Didn’t know you wrapped it. How is that holding up.?
It looks awesome still.
How does the underwater ship work .. The sustainability lis key on that idea.
But does it last
Yes, so far so good, let's see... the underwater wrap is holding well so far so both is fine. Keep you updated.
@@FeeltheBreeze thanks 🙏
How much was the boat itself? Not sure you mention it... would help to see refit costs as % of boat price... also what year was the boat built? 2008?

Unas mejoras muy interesante ..me sigue pareciendo extraño que ningún propietario instale una cabina similar a la del Amel
What kind of cabin do you exactly mean?
@@FeeltheBreeze
La cabina con techo de fibra del Amel 60..
For as hard as we've all worked in life. It's a small amount to have a family with friends to enjoy life. Big business will always make the little guy look bad? Please make your family safe and happy!!!
Once you finish this the video, you'll see big business will still try and steal everything you own!!!!! We all need to work at a team, there more in groups, not government!!
A decentral network of groups of likeminded people not linked to big business and governments is our way of thinking.
Does finsulate prevent marine growth
Not totally, but it is easy removable and not toxic
How did you get the batteries covered by insurance?
To show them the specs and certificates
How can a stable level of humidity and temperature be achieved with an open hangar port?
Not ;) But when it was necessary they closed the door
Seems like it would be less expensive to sell the boat and buy a new one! Would that vinyl wrap work on a steel hull?
Not exactly, finding a boat of the same quality and with the same features is going to cost way more. This was a production of Beneteau to get into the higher quality market and compete with Amel and Swan, but they didn’t get their foot in that market. So this is quite an extraordinary Beneteau.

Wonderfull
indirect lightning strikes causing damage is because of stepped voltage - years ago farmers would find dead cattle after an indirect strike and the reason they died was that the voltage from the lightning strike decreases as it moves from the strike zone - so cattle or humans could have a potential voltage difference between the legs of 100's of thousand volts due to the resistance of the earth - the same principle applies to boats etc a small difference in resistance can cause massive currents eg a 100,000 volts induced on the earth compared to 48 volts on the positive makes the 48volts earthier than the earth and you actually get a reverse current flow using Ohms law of I (current) = V(volts)/Ohms (resistance) = 100,000/10 (assumed resistance of battery as a guess but it is less) gives you a momentary spike of 10,000 Amps - So even if your induced voltage is less you can still get high Amp spikes that will fry your gear - that is why always seek safety with lightning and keep your feet together to stop that step voltage becoming deadly - yachts not so easy
WoW Jim, thanks for the info, will take a deep dive into it and take pre cautions.. Really appreciate it.
@@FeeltheBreeze maybe I have just given you a future episode on your vlog - also I wish your family all the best
Hi, O M G 100,000 € 🤩😮🤯 You are happy person and the world. Thank you from 🇮🇱 for a video.
Yesss, an amazing amount of money for the refit, luckily we found some good deals ;)
Thats very valuable information, but you didn't say what the Main and Genoa cost even though its included in the total. But thanks.
Thanks, the main and genoa is very personal and depends on so many variables we decided to leave it out of the details, you can find many sail makers online for a proper quotation if you are looking for a proper and detailed price.
👍
Thanks!!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Stephen
Did the my hit a bridge?
55sqm X 900 euro/sqm, same price here in Croatia :)
You can find these prices everywhere, for us it was more the craftmanship of the woodwork.
@@FeeltheBreeze and the quality off the teak ..
Instead have the deck screwed why it not glued
Different approach from the carpenters, in the Netherlands they screwed it again and in Turkey they glued it.
These older Beneteaus are so much better than current models!
Yesss, the PS will be our one and only Beneteau, especially because this is not a production boat.
hope the keel doesnt come loose
why?
@@FeeltheBreeze i watch alot of sailboat videos and many ppl talk negativly about modern hull construction. It is cheaper to build the hull first as a bathtub and then bolt on the keel and the rudder afterwords. But since the hull is fiberglass and the flexible the connection between the steel keel and the hull is tearing apart and the bolt rust and come loose. Also they recommend protection infront of the rudder.
I just started this channel. What’s the accident?
🤔live ona plastic boat with an huge disel,...
Absolutely sustainability!
If you move primarily by wind and if that sailboat was already made - absolutely
Teak decks are high maintenance, costly to refinish and nothing to the sailing of the boat
Yep, it's true
Refit for a Beneteau ? 😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yesss, because she is worth it ;) So tell us, what's the funny part ;)
You must have money to burn!
Maybe have a look at our blogpost www.feelthebreeze.nl for some background info ;)
Nice job to spend all this money. Especially after going bankrupt with a company...
Hi Carsten thanks for the sarcasm- Rianne here. If you watched and listened closely you know that the boat is mine and the investment is done with the money that I made. Woman can be smart in investing and taking care of their family just as equal as men can. Have a good one!
