There will always some work to do on the boat, please keep us up-to-date on that. What I want to see now is: why did you aquire Jabá, what are your plans with it, and most important: what do Ben and MP do when NOT working on the boat, how is your live as a sailing and/or diving couple going to be?
ALSO Please re-attach the blade guard to the saw bench. (it's becoming a common theme amogst ytubers and I would regard it as an ESSENTIAL safety feature... rant over.)
A refrigerator and a freezer are really nice to have on a boat. Yes, you two do make a great team. 👍👍 Ben, please, please, please use some safety devices while using a table saw. You scared the begeebers out of me. Short story; Back when I was in shop class in my first year of high school (fall 1978 😭), there was someone I’ll call Charles. He was part of the tough crowd, and could always be found holding court out on the smoking patio at school, when not in class. He was in my shop classes that semester. On this particular day he was using a table saw. I will NEVER forget that day. Running across the shop, screaming, and a rag wrapped around his hand with blood everywhere. He was back in class the next week. 1 reattached finger, and 2 missing tips. He was a completely changed man. Those images are forever burned into my memory.
yep i have to say, i always wince at others using circular saws, especially when its really boring to watch and you tubers think its entertaining to speed that footage up, i have to skip it, safety dudes, its the law, do not skip anything, things bite and bite hard - i am usually very savvy at these things, but having told myself to check a set of steps before climbing, grabbed a box, used the steps, and then used them another three times, before they collapsed, i was only on the third step, as they collapsed the back side was against the wall, the front that i was standing on pushed my legs forward from under me and i landed on my back, i laid there in agony before getting myself out of the situation, i got to hospital and later was diagnosed with a fracture to my T12, yep a broken back and two years on much better, but have problems still, safety, if you think, don't skip it, DO IT
hey Ben, consider supporting your round diesel tanks the same way they do on heavy trucks. you could use flat stainless steel strips to make U-shaped bands to hang the tanks from the ceiling. Your wood supports would still help secure the tanks, but bands would stop pressure points onto those tanks.
You made big old square 📦 around water tanks if you make bases with a concave to shape all you need to do is saddle from bottom to deck with strapping the way you made it takes up way more space
nice work on the frame work one thing use a speaical shape wood to push the wood along the table saw you will keep your fingers that way like the freezer and MP does great work with the electrics well done both of you
Grinding away for over three years, practically nonstop. really says something about you too. and the fruits of your labor are very sweet and delicious. Enjoy the decompression from all your hard work. MP and Ben, have you plotted your dream course and if so, can you share just a little bit keep on keeping on and soak all of it up❤😊
Would like to see the set up and rigging of the sails. How many sails do you plan to carry? How will you manage them short handed? What is the light wind sail (s) plan? You get the idea. Cheers. Jim
Fabulous as ever and you actually got more done than I thought. Let's hope the rain stays away for you and please let's have more of MP's now-infamous job boards to keep Ben on his toes =)
When you bulled thee table saw out of the forward hatch, I was surprised. The next frame your using a miter saw. I tip my hat to you to be able to use that while off shore!
Super vie à bord, et bricolage comme au chantier...attention aux doigts...cela ne repousse pas...c'est toujours ce que je dis à mes petits enfants... bravo pour ces réalisation, du travail soigné , propre...tu en as appris des choses en 3 ans... félicitations, aussi pour la mise en place des groupes de froid...!! Vincent de France...
Amazing amount of room on the back deck and even more in the engine room. It’s quite a treat watching the mains powered tools working of the solar array. I’d like to see how you have finished off the cabins and the saloon next to the kitchen. How long before the sails go up?
It's great to see you able to relax a bit now. Still getting things done and enjoying your new home. Congratulations on the fridge and freezer you can now do things as needed. Keep well and safe. James.
I am Soo happy to see that the two (4) of you are finally enjoying the fruits of your labour. Kind of funning seeing what you both can now do to the boat than 3 yrs ago when you first started, now look at you both are pro's. Ben or MP, thank you for cleaning up the sawdust in the bilge, that stuff will plug your ballast pumps in no time flat.
MP & Ben! I've followed you two from the time you bought the boat, it has been my recovery during my three year of sickness with my coloncancer and other misshaps related to the surgical procedures and treatment it come with. I finally got my gastric bypass and took x-rays last week and the head nurse said my pictures looks good, so I still has to wait for the "words" that says " yes or no!" If I was or would be younger like you, two, I would have done the same, but i'm 62yrs old this summer and i'm longing for my family in Thailand after covid and my bodys recovery... It has been three looong years!
Gday Ben & MP. If you want to catch fish ,you need fresh local bait ,or what the fish eat ,a dark moon is good too, also use light tackel . YABA is looking good . Respect.....!
Such a beautiful boat that sits in the water perfectly. You both should be very proud of your indefatigable diligence and hard work. Looking forward to seeing your onward journeys.
Fit a sheet of plywood on the inside of the diesel tank support struts. Put some strong polythene bags under the tank and fill them with expanding foam similar to your dinghy. The foam will expand to fit the tank exactly and transfer the weight to the hull. 100 gallons of diesel weighs 880 pounds ,so good support is essential. The full support will also stop the tank distorting under the weight Been a subscriber since day and i am really proud of the work you both have done plus all your crew! Yaba looks beautiful afloat, where she belongs.Alan here in the UK.
Just a concern, when using the table saw. please position yourself as if a jackass just went full send thru the harbor. You ain't land bound anymore Matey and if a large wave hits you when you do not expect it your safety would be compromised, I learned that the hard way. And keep on inspiring me.
Just a note from an old woodworker "Safety". I have put my thumb in a table saw, many stitches, and rehab. I agree use a push stick. You can't stop a running saw blade with your hand.
@@SailingYaba I wrote the comment as I was watching... and before you mentioned dropping anything.... it's perfection as long as you don't drop anything
Ben you have got to make a pusher stick when using the table saw my god you came close a few times ! It takes no prisoners young man all the best with your tasks cheers
You are a great team indeed! Open communication, huge support and respect for each other are fundamental. The specialisms you have each developed are excellent and make things even better for you. I'm so pleased to see Caiilou out swimming in his jacket, whilst his friend remains on the platform.
One last thing as I have built 3 tour buses, same principles, you may want to consider installing a Macerator Pump for your Black Tank....it basically chops up all your sewage very fine and results in a lot less plumbing issues ie with blockages etc. If you use a macerator your outlet house is either 1.5" I believe meaning it coils up easier and takes a lot less room then them other big discharge hoses.. If you have the money you have the room to install a sewage treatment unit for Yaba, or one of those toilets that destroys the waste electrically, they have come along way....also if you can't afford a water maker make sure you carry at least 120 gallons of fresh water ie 2 x 60 gallon plastic tanks....and you may want to install a day tank for your petro....just some thoughts...just trying to help you out in some small way...much love from Canada!!!!
I love watching your videos, wow,, what an amazing journey, sinking and doing your best to get it out of the water, then a extreme rebuild and repair, and now splash back into the water and the list continues, however we are all here cheering you on. Love sent ,,❤
Even though Yaba is out of the shipyard the work will always be your companion. You are at least doing the smaller finishing touches and they are quite rewarding. When you get your sails your life will be much more interesting and your scenery will change continuously. I wish you the best of times on Yaba. You have earned it. Best Regards, Your pal Al
yes yes yes..... sunday afternoon and Yaba time again.....love it...💛💛.. You guy's deserve some off time and enjoy it!! witch i see you do!!.... so good to see the first of the future content ... be sure that i watch every episode and loving it .... greetsz from friesland..... max... 😊😉😉😁💛💛💙
After reading some of the comments I think safety around the tools is a big thing now that you guys are afloat. Tbh I cant wait to see you both sailing the globe and not stuck finishing Yabá the next year or so. After all the work use have done you both deserve to just live and be happy sailing Yabá 🙏🏾
It won't be long till you can make an all play and no work video , then we can all relax a bit with you. Fish will come to you when you learn to think like a fish. Good luck ❤❤
Good morning favorite RUclips folks! As always a great episode. Anti fouling paint is a crap shoot sometimes. Depending on what you are sitting it works. Some stuff is just plain tough keep off your boat. But you’ll get it figured out. You always do. You made it!
Ben ....Please be careful using the table saw, one of the most dangerous tools in the workshop, even for experancied woodworkers. Make sure it is secure and you never lean over it .. take care my friend ..
You need to get a set of the big suction cups they use for moving counter tops and large windows. Then you could attach a rope from the handles to a belt so you could stick yourself in place when scrubbing the water line.
Great to see you finally SPLASHED YABA!!! Haven't watched you, or anyone else in a while. Retirement and a move to a new country will distract anyone for a bit. Looking Good!!!
Thank you all for being here! Let us know what would you like to see now that we are floating and living on board!
How is your solar working out? What's your energy consumption like?
There will always some work to do on the boat, please keep us up-to-date on that. What I want to see now is: why did you aquire Jabá, what are your plans with it, and most important: what do Ben and MP do when NOT working on the boat, how is your live as a sailing and/or diving couple going to be?
I'm privaged. Y'all are inspired.
I would like to see Ben using a pusher when working on the table saw PLEASE
@@DaniloDelponte yes... ik was thinking the same thing👍
Ben - please make a simple push stick for the table saw. You need to keep all the fingers that you have.
It is just so amazing to see Yaba in the water. I have been watching since the begining. Just WOW
Thank you!
Oh god- Ben please no crosscuts on a table saw! And a push stick is a VERY good thing. No hospital visits to reattach fingers. 😢
I'm amazed this guy still has all his fingers watching him misuse and ignore safety while using power saws.
ALSO Please re-attach the blade guard to the saw bench. (it's becoming a common theme amogst ytubers and I would regard it as an ESSENTIAL safety feature... rant over.)
These folks are talented enough that they could probably do the reattachment without going to the hospital.....
All I could see was his foot slipping and falling forward. Aaaahh 😳
Push stick please!
Great to see Yaba sitting so majestically on the water.... long may the fun continue.
A refrigerator and a freezer are really nice to have on a boat.
Yes, you two do make a great team. 👍👍

I'd like to see you use a push stick and fence on your circular saw!
@14:11 That saw has a pull stroke that he wasn't using why??
Sweet shot... living art....
Thank you!
You guys do make a great team! Love it when MP breaks out her tools. She has the confidence now to take care of business and that makes me smile.
For safety reasons you need to use a pusher on that table saw, I can see some nasty injuries there 😞
Can't wait to yaba at full sail

For cleaning the hull in the water the sucking handles are very useful. They are cheap and you have more force while scrubbing.
You have to go to the South of Cuba. The most pristine waters of the Caribbean.
PS your partner is amazing, never met a woman who rebuilds engines, does electrical, you hit the lottery my friend

It was a good idea save the old dingy since it has a large hard bottom. Perfect for bringing large supplies safely a board. 😊
Scardy cat here, but I would really love to see a pusher used on the table saw.
Yeah, my thought too, esp on a rocking boat,
Sim segurança em primeiro lugar .😅
@Alxxxxtair-df9xv Lord, I hope not.
So so happy for you guys
Thank you so much!

Respect.....!
This channel just keeps getting more wonderful!
Happy to hear that! Thank you SO MUCH!
You wanna keep all them fingers make a push stick for that table saw because they cannot always sew them back on and they still work !
You'll be Captain Hook before long because I cut my thumb halfway off doing the same thing you were doing on the table saw. Do be careful !
i wanna see a diving video!!! ASAP!
Ok! 🤩 would love to do that!
The boat yard work was always entertaining but the view from at anchor is grand !
You lucky Bastards 😊so jealous of you two! I truly hope you have a wonderful time together with Yaba and the adventures you have planned together 🥰🫵😉
Such a beautiful boat that sits in the water perfectly. You both should be very proud of your indefatigable diligence and hard work. Looking forward to seeing your onward journeys.
Thank you very much!
Yaba looks so beautiful at anchor!!! ❤❤❤❤
We agree! 😍
Thought of a great idea. Use your soft vice grips to hold the table saw to the edge of the aft deck.
Fit a sheet of plywood on the inside of the diesel tank support struts. Put some strong polythene bags under the tank and fill them with expanding foam similar to your dinghy. The foam will expand to fit the tank exactly and transfer the weight to the hull. 100 gallons of diesel weighs 880 pounds ,so good support is essential.

Looking good guys, don't forget to paint those diesel tank supports, keep everything nice and white and uniform down there in the engine room
I can’t believe you too have done all this work, god bless you both
Hoorays for Yaba.

A good tidy up of the boats living quarters - ship shape and Bristol fashion when afloat.
That's the beauty of having a wooden boat ⛵ you can do your own repairs and maintenance, nice to see using your skills at sea lol
I dont have to mention the saw as everyone else has, but its wonderful to see Yaba in her natural environment!
Awesome 🎉 hard work always pays! In your case absolutely 💯
Keep on keeping on
Águas poluídas de SC......parabéns ao casal.....bons ventos

Thanks!
Keep being awesome
I like 👍🏼 ❤ how you guys put on the board catch a fish 🐟 ❤😅
You need to get a set of the big suction cups they use for moving counter tops and large windows. Then you could attach a rope from the handles to a belt so you could stick yourself in place when scrubbing the water line.
Nice to see the balance between work and relaxation! Enjoy!!! 😍😍
So much work!
Great to see you finally SPLASHED YABA!!! Haven't watched you, or anyone else in a while. Retirement and a move to a new country will distract anyone for a bit. Looking Good!!!
