Hey guys, always use a floating line for your dinghy. Without it, there's a high chance that sooner or later, the line will end up getting caught in your propeller. A floating line stays visible on the surface, greatly reducing the risk of fouling your prop. Ask me how I know :)
After all these years, MP and Ben never let go of their dream but I'll always admire the shipwrights of São Domingos, Navegantes ! Congratulations to all !
Congratulations Ben and MP, if ever there was a boat that needed to be scraped, Yabá was it, and you two brought it back to life. Unbelievable and amazing achievement, well done! Now go and enjoy your wonderful lives.
Imagine running aground on a sand bar and winning the cruiser award in the same video ! Congratulations , you two really deserve it and a special hats off to your father and all the amazing guys at the boatyard . Well done Yaba !
Dear Maria Paula and Ben, As one of your most loyal subscribers we like to thank you for all the years you offered your viewers first class reports of your still in proces refit of your beautiful schooner Yabá. You won completly justified the price for the refit of the year. We therefore are looking forward to your next episode and send you love
@@SailingYaba you might not know who we are but we’ve been following your vlogs since Yabà was shipprd at sea as a more or less sinking schooner to the shipyard and we keft comments in every vlog of yours.
I'm so happy for you guys, I thought you two were a little crazy after watching the first episode, but then I realized you were both driven to succeed and failure wasn't an option. MP was really impressive the way she got involved in building the engine and making electrical work look like child's play.Anyways you deserve that award you guys really pulled it off together.
Well deserved award indeed! As daunting as this project first appeared to be it was always your happy positive attitudes that made this channel. Good people have a way of finding each other and I'm glad to have found you both. Cheers!
Hi Ben and MP. Congrats for that well deserved award! It was a tough task you faced at the beginning almost 4 years ago. (BTW: when is your "birthday" - the day all started?) Undoubtedly all those shipwright, among others, also deserve their own recognition. It seems to me they put a special effort in re-building Yabá. Maybe it´s because you never left the yard and worked alongside with them and your contagious energy and good sense of humor. Cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina.
Thank you so much Walter! We purchased Yabá on August 18th 2020 and started the works on the yard on November 16th 2020. From August until November we were living on board a sinking Yabá, checking the water level and the pumps every two hours (mainly during the night), it was a crazy journey to get us where we are now!
Congrats on yr well deserved award. Look forward to when Yaba can catch up with the Shih family and others on the crystal blue and share a celebratory drink in person
Congratulations on winning the award. It is astounding that you and your wonderful shipwrights transformed the worm eaten rotten Yaba into a fabulous new boat. Happy for you to get the recognition. Good to sea you sailing.
I've watched you both too, from the very beginning, when a lovely couple suggested you start up a RUclips channel, and helped you in suggesting a place to go to get your dream boat repaired. I'm so pleased the you both have won this recognition award. You have both worked so hard to get your boat in ship shape. The very best Congratulations to you Ben and MP. 🎉 May you both have meny meny years of fun with you dream boat. 🎉🎉😊
@verdigo5892 Meaning what, exactly?. Who brought the boat in the 1st place. There are many people out there doing the same thing, I also believe that they would of got it done without having a channel. Just like I did 45 odd years ago. There was no Internet then back in the 70's . The good thing is people have had the chance to support them over 3 years and probably learned something in the process. Even going going out there and helping out. I learned a lot from the boat builder yard that carried out the work, boat building at it finest.
Usually, I'm interested in building process - since Duca & Roberta introduced you to us - till today I've been watching all episodes. With you guys, somehow, I want to stay longer :) Looking forward to all your adventures & underwater content :)
Hi Ben and MP congratulations on your well deserved win I think YABA deserves the recognition and what a fantastic team of carpenters you had to work with ❤🎉
Yaba looks so wonderful under sail. It has been a long time and an incredible amount of work to be on the water. Being recognized by your peers is just the icing on the cake. I am so very happy for you. Pleasant journeys, Regards, Your Pal Al
Very big congratulations to you and the shipwrights on an amazing rebuild and for winning the award. There are two types of boaters those that have run aground and those that will.
Congrats for winning that reward. You are definitely wordy winners. Keeping the spirit up and the relation going thru this huge work for four years is worth the best applause. Well done and live the life to the fullest 😊
Way to go MP an Ben I've been watching from the beginning. Congratulations you guys deserve it, and the Dogs rock as well CHEERS 🍻🍻🍻 Rob from Vancouver Island Canada😂🍻🤣
Congratulations guys, well deserved. I have followed and will continue to follow you both on this epic project, Love and best wishes. Bye the way please come to Ireland?? Thank you both so much for sharing your adventures ❤❤🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍
MP@Ben Vcs estão lindos no comando do Yabá só falta relembrar os almoços que faziam quando ainda estavam no Guarujá e o Duca sempre ocupando o lugar que ele pediu que o mantivessem boa semana e sucesso sempre
Congratulations Ben & MP and all the ship rights and people that helped getting Yaba fit to said you all deserve the award, fair winds to you Ben and MP
You guys are true legends and are a great example of the grit and perseverance needed to finish what you started. We from New Zealand have been watching for a long time. Just love your monumental achievement and feel your enjoyment in these wonderful moments you share with us.
G'day Ben & MP, CONGRATULATIONS , on winning the award . Never missed an episode of the refit, the carpenters & shipwrights in the yard were so cool ,they to should celebrate the refit award. Great vid guys ,looking forward to the upcoming episodes. Respect...!
Great to see you again, and congrats on the well deserved award! Even though the build is "primarily" finished I still look forward to your posts each Sunday! See you next week!
You could put a big letter on each sail Y. A. B. A. when on all (4) that would look really cool!!! my wife and I are in our late (50’s) your adventures are inspiring our nearing retirement adventure dreams!!! Go young people!!! your the life blood of the future generations!
Been watching you from the first episode and it has been amazing to see you both blossom like a flower into amazing You Tubers that entertain, tell a story that keeps my attention and leaves me wanting for more. Good on you! This is my Sunday morning coffee break. Keep it coming.
When a boat is motoring the propeller pulls water from under the hull. In deep water it does mater much. In shallow water the propeller can make the water shallower. This is called squat . The faster you go in shallow water ,the more water you pull out from under the boat.
GOD BLESS YOU 2 BEN AND MPi have watched from the start fell in love with you even thow you would never know me but i love your adventures and will keep watching from australia cheers
Congratulations, everyone involved in transforming Yaba deserves this win 👍🎉👍🎊👍🎉 My yacht is only 26feet long, I worked out a long time ago never ever tow anything on a passage, it’s just to risky.

So we can call ourselves sailors now 😂
three types. You forgot about those thar are going to run aground. 😂😂
Same applies to seasickness
Gentlemen never run aground. They sound for bottom.
You have always been sailors that boat is now a part of you two and you two a part of Yaba. hold fast me Hardee's @@SailingYaba
