Wow that’s someone to look up to the hard work and courage and commitment,i can feel the highs and the lows with him all the way , what a guy hope you get to enjoy that wonderful boat it looks stunning.
I love working on boats, I've so far spent my summer rebuilding a 1950s Dutch tugboat, it's riveted steel, needed a new keel plate, engine overhaul, stern gear and propeller replacement and the gearbox rebuilding. Got about two months left on it!
Awesome, totally awesome! As an owner of an all wood H28 that I restored I can only empathise with Simon. The elation of the purchase is dimmed by the need for restoration but the finished project is so totally worth the journey!
Simon, Congratulations on your ptoject. Keryl will be a beauty when uou have the interior back in. For the past 15 years I have been messing around with my C&C 43 in the Caribbean, always changing things to suit my particular saling plans. Keryl is a racing boat, not a cruiser. But you want to go cruising and also use her for your profession. Well then, since the interior is out, why not redesign it to better suit that lifestyle, preserving some of the classic elements, like the beautiful arch, getting rid of all those bunks, open up the plan, build a real Chefs galley, wine racks and space for your guests to enjoy a great meal. And make it look like it was built in those days. She will be a stunner. Keep the videos coming, please!!
Thank you - look out for the next series of films that we'll upload which will be The Floating Kitchen - when Simon restored a Scottish Fishing Trawler and sailed it over to Paris to open the boat as a restaurant. There will be 20 parts.
Fantastic! Well Done Simon . I'm Building a 43' Lugger in Australia, this gives me inspiration. Tom, you are a champion, one of my favorite books is Hand Reef and Steer, so many wonderful chapters about life and boats...Thanks
Another amazing wooden boat saved,thank god. Hopefully that this kind of project inspires others not to take always the easy way,and buy a boat made of material where bathtubs are made from’the reward is an boat with an soul,and everewhere where he gonna sail admirable looks and thumbs up: priceless!
What a beauty! I know the sense of joy of sailing a boat you have been intimately involved in resurrecting. I'm too old, now, to do it again, but still savour the emotions.
Tom, thanks for bringing these videos to light. The smiles on both of,your faces as she sails past say it all. Perhaps It will inspire others to preserve similar fine boats. Fair winds to him, and I'm sure he still has the boat after all the blood,sweat and tears
The best part of Leo's restoration will be when Tally Ho enters the 2027 Fastnet to commemorate her centennial victory and wins it again! I really need to take a drive up to Sequim and see her in person.
WOW, Simon, your story and the story of your boat was an inspiration. In my case it was a lifelong dream to go road racing. I finally realized that dream in my mid-50's when I bought a run-out, beaten down Lotus 61 formula Ford. I spent one full year restoring the car and trust me when I say - the condition of "Keryl" when you bought her looks new in comparison to my Lotus. I raced a 25 year old engine for half a season, learning to drive the car until the engine blew up. I never gave up and like you, spent every waking moment improving the car... and the driver. My last race before I retired from racing was the 2011 Coronado Speed Festival where I won the coveted "USS Ronald Reagan Cup." In the meantime, although the car was not competitive against other vintage formula Ford race cars, I managed to win seven championships over an eleven year span. Congratulations, my friend, for we've spilt the same blood in the pursuit of our dream. I'll forever remember one particular line from "Southern Cross," (Crosby, Stills Nash and Young) for it will forever be the words that kept me moving forward whenever I felt ready to quit. "We got eighty feet at the waterline, nicely making way......." All best, by friend. Carl
I hope Simon will keep you updated on KERYL would love to see what she looks likes inside with her furniture. Great series. Really enjoying Boat Yard keep more coming. Thank you for having this on RUclips
WOW, she looks magnificent and Simon is an inspiration to others that have never had any boat building or work experience on boats in the past that it can be done.
Great job! DON’T STOP YOUR RESTORATION! KEEP REPAIRING ONE THING AT A TIME UNTIL SHE IS PERFECT. Those steel floor Joyce’s really should be brass. You can build them or cast them yourself !!! As you lean how to do these things you become a sailors sailor! Bravo mate
Saw the first 2 episodes of this on Quest about 4 years ago that was all they showed , delighted this popped up and got to see her back in !! That was 16 years ago hope Simon is sitting in the Caribbean on her now!! Great story well done Simon and cheers Tom for bringing it to us.
A cracking series of programs we enjoyed the first time round. Well done Tom and the production team. Excellent. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
I'm patiently waiting to see Keryl back in the water. Having rebuilt 2 sailboats, albeit smaller boats, 1 Star "Perseverance". and a "Carinita", i understand the hard work and passion. I always wanted a larger wooden sailboat. It was a dream here in the PNW of the USA, but alas life and time have gotten away. Congratulations. I know Kerl will sail again and I will be sailing with you in my dreams.
Great to see these wood boats get a second or third or fourth life. Must’ve made some interesting sounds as she was lowered into salt water. Such an interesting process caulking planks. Curious why they went with metal floors given the iron sickness that invaded the retired frames? Are the new floors wrought iron or steel? Thanks.
Find the plans and scan them? that would be brilliant. I often wondered if they were published. That would be a fantastic boat. Probably take 4-5 years to build though.
Beautiful work. I love seeing classics kept alive. I was a little disappointed seeing iron going back in the bilge but the powder-coat, it should be good for at least another 50 years. Were bronze fasteners used to bolt in the iron mongery? (I hope so) It looks like a beautiful sail. Put a bone in her teeth and enjoy. Well done.
@@BoatYardBuilds I just did ..a lifelong dream realised...and the coolest part I found out the reason my boat is called "MOZZY" the guy who spent 20yrs building her was a ww2 mosquito pilot ..il try and honour him by bringing her back to how he would want her to be
This is what Tally Ho needed 60 years ago. The affects of iron sickness grow exponentially and I looks like he caught Keryl just in time. Another 5 years and it would have twice as much work.

Watched all 4 parts! What a great story!
Inspirational outcome. Another vote for a follow-up vlog on Keryl and Simon now..!
thats the plan...
Right on! Bravo Simon! 👏👏👏 yes Tom very inspirational.

It's nice to see that beautiful yacht sailing. Good job
8:41 is the money shot for this series, the new skipper at the helm. Now, THAT'S sailing...

Wow, thank you
Excellent 4part series...awesome story! Thanks, Andrew
Glad you enjoyed it
It makes you realize how difficult wood boats can be. I am currently watching the restoration of Tally Ho.
Same! Leo is amazing, and what he has done is nothing short of amazing.
@@andrewallen9432 Passion has no bounds!
Same here! It's so fascinating to watch Leo's workmanship and how Tally Ho comes to life again!
The best part of Leo's restoration will be when Tally Ho enters the 2027 Fastnet to commemorate her centennial victory and wins it again! I really need to take a drive up to Sequim and see her in person.
Yea leos vids are cool. But what is even left og on tally ho? Just a couple transom boards no ?😃
Simon reminds of part Russell Crowe, part Ricky Gervais. This is an inspirational story, indeed!

Well done Simon!! God bless and may you always have fair winds and full sails! From Pennsylvania, USA!!
I hope Simon is out there somewhere enjoying his boat sailing in beautiful places, I think he's earned it!
A Wiki page indicates Simon is still the current owner.

She's a beauty, very well done Simon. Enjoy her.
I hope Simon will keep you updated on KERYL would love to see what she looks likes inside with her furniture. Great series. Really enjoying Boat Yard keep more coming. Thank you for having this on RUclips
Congrats, Simon!! I'm watching your really good work at Brazil interland! Very good!
Excellent sets of videos, well done Simon, well done Tom! What a success for Simon, he now knows every plank and every nail of his boat. Fantastic.
I love to see people succeed.
Fantastic following all your progress, ups and downs and success. Congratulations!!
WOW, she looks magnificent and Simon is an inspiration to others that have never had any boat building or work experience on boats in the past that it can be done.
What a graceful lady. . . well done Simon. I hope you're still sailing that lovely lady.
What a beauty! I appreciate men who take on such a challenge. thank you for sharing the adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job!
DON’T STOP YOUR RESTORATION!
KEEP REPAIRING ONE THING AT A TIME
UNTIL SHE IS PERFECT.
Those steel floor Joyce’s really should be brass.
You can build them or cast them yourself !!!
As you lean how to do these things you become a sailors sailor!
Bravo mate
Thanks for the tips!

Great job, enjoyed watch the video. Good luck Simon, keep dreaming
Thanks, you too!
Simon ! Well done mate ! I saw a dream made whole . I can do that . I think...
thanks Big Dan!
A very inspirational video! Congratulations to Simon and his helpers; you've made a lovely job.
A cracking series of programs we enjoyed the first time round. Well done Tom and the production team. Excellent. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
It is amazing what you can accomplish when You want something bad enough. I don't even know this guy and I am proud of him. GOOD JOB!
Watched the whole thing, all four parts and loved it. Good show.
Be like Tom, support and uplift. Two absolute legends, bravo.
Great seeing the final part of Simons journey to sail her, and with a smile on his face.
Waiting for you to do it all again... perhaps with netflix? Brilliant stuff, thanks Tom!
Grit, guts and get to it! Very well done Simon. And a truly inspiring piece from the Boatyard.
Great work Tom and to Simon I hope he is living the dream .
Phenomenal! Congratulations, Simon! What a beautiful yacht.
Couldn't agree more!

Thanks. The great thing about old boats is you can use hand tools and don’t need to make software updates or diagnose sodding fault codes.
What an amazing story. Well done Simon.
This channel has potential. I look forward to future episodes and your success.
Brilliant.
brilliant episodes, thank you
Thanks Ed
A incredible effort well rewarded by the sight of her in the water, sails up..fair winds Simon
Beautiful!! Can we have a follow up video on how he’s got on with the interior??
Great show thanks
Fanatstic to see this series again. I hope Simon's dream came true :-)
Us too!
Great story. Well done to all!
I never got to see this bit before. Great to find out she is sailing again. She flies. So pleased you were able to put the series up.
What a fantastic achievement, well done Simon. Enjoy your life on the high seas.
Well done Simon!!
What an awesome series! Thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
Well done Simon
What an inspiration!
It's just what I needed right now
See you on the water one day
What a truly inspiring story! Well done Simon.
Fabulous. Well done that man. Inspirational. Slightly moist of eye when you cut to the shot of her sailing, I don't mind admitting. WHOOSH!
Great! Well done! Amazing work and great video
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful work, brother!!
Hope that you're somewhere enjoying sailing her!
Cheers!!
I hope so too!
what a great footage and story!!
Great job mate!!!
Great story.........any epilogue on status of Keryl and Simon in 2020
i hope simon still owns her
@@londonman8688 He is still listed as owner www.wikiwand.com/en/Charles_Kingsley_(yacht_designer)
Well done Simon, an amazing achievement. Fair Winds my friend.
Inspirational indeed.
I think ill go replace both the CV joints on my Geo-Metro now with extreme renewed intrest in saving money and learning something.
What a great story.
more power to you . what a boat
Bloody helll Simon You did it.
Wow, so impressed - she’s beautiful!
Well Done Simon . Allan

I'll check this for you and come back
Find the plans and scan them? that would be brilliant. I often wondered if they were published. That would be a fantastic boat. Probably take 4-5 years to build though.

Inspirational video.
What a fantastic story, I truly hope Simon got to swim under her in crystal clear waters
Having removed the galley, seeing what a professional chef designs as a replacement will be interesting.
brilliant!..its inspired me for sure
Go for it!
@@BoatYardBuilds I just did ..a lifelong dream realised...and the coolest part I found out the reason my boat is called "MOZZY" the guy who spent 20yrs building her was a ww2 mosquito pilot ..il try and honour him by bringing her back to how he would want her to be
Congratulations for getting her back into the water where she belongs!
How about building back the doghouse to its former shape? It would greatly improve...
Beautiful! I wonder where she is now.
we plan to do updates
Just have a question. How can planks extend when there is paint over it? Great job and keeping working
Fantastic job, perhaps I will get a wooden fishing boat
You should!
Wonder were they are now tom
we'll give you updates.
Fantastic.
That was epic.
In the old pictures they have a giant sail with wisker poles on both sides.
Is that a thing of the past?
I'll ask Tom! I'm sure he will know.
....... And in the end, it's all worth it !
Why did he not have to steam and bend each plank? Is it because of their short length?
yes - they were able to go on without cracking
Bravo!
Bring us up to date!
thats the plan
Love it
At least he didn't have to do the whole Tally Ho style rebuild.
It makes me realize how skilled Leo is for his age. Or any age for that matter!
@@SimonElenor that is a fact.
This is what Tally Ho needed 60 years ago. The affects of iron sickness grow exponentially and I looks like he caught Keryl just in time. Another 5 years and it would have twice as much work.
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you! 😊
She looks great from the outside, but....she is gutted on the inside. This man has a lot of work ahead of him.
