I don’t know why but watching your progress cleaning out this boat is strangely satisfying and entertaining. You’re doing a great job
I agree. I found myself wondering when the new video would come just to see the progress.
Me, too! The timing was perfect, i was just starting to hope for a video.
Lol I fully agree 😂❤
I've been hanging out for another video
I agree a good cleaning makes things so refreshing. Watching it is relaxing can watch someone clean all day long.
I've seen this cat lying there for about ten years, every time I drive to work.
Cleaned my shed out today, and found two winches and some other stuff. Brought it to this place, and he and Thomas were there.
Nice to meet them, and hope to help the project along.
Greetings, Gerrit.
That's very nice
Let take a moment to appreciate how good Mark is at filming and editing. Music choice, framing, setting up shots and, time-lapse this is all really high production value. It's very impressive.
Cheers mate!
I really like the line up as the song lyric ‘oh yeah’ went with footage of the Saab cup holder opening 😂🎉 well done Mark
Much agreed... and it's freely available to watch at your leisure! Even for unpleasant ingrates!
@@WildlingSailing Hey Dude!
Check out Boat Building-Modified Wharram-Progess top sides on RUclips.
Way to go fella. Thought you were a bit off the edge buying this, but fair play, you're actually getting jobs done and making it, at the least, liveable. Will continue watching with interest.
yeah he's gonna make it happen. Very driven & determined. It will definitely happen
Absolutely 🙏
Please god, get a new mattress mate.
@@VelcorHF
scabies can keep you in shape bro
Also watching someone doing up an almost perfect yacht wouldn't be that interesting. There are loads of videos out there like that.
Thanks for the plug Mark! Your new boat is coming along nicely so hopefully I see you out on the water in no time!
I genuinely enjoy your vids, man. hopefully we can sail together at some point
@@WildlingSailing I’m sure we will
@@AlexGoesSailing You could meet up in the Channel's traffic separation zone for a race across to Calais - first one to the hypermarket buys the individual serving four bottles of wine-flavoured anti-freeze for a Euro.
@@xenu-dark-tony would be fun to do a little race!
Mark, it's hard going through a breakup and joining the Wharram family/philosophy and learning to work with wood is a path, a true noble path to self discovery.
I hope you know that these skills you're learning and these experiences are the artistic expression of your life and will be a beautiful part of your story.
🤣
Nothing like being a Sailor to get over a breakup! Saw more guys stronger after getting dear john letters in the Navy! Plus I would love to have a Wharram boat to live on in the Caribbean!
That thing you picked from behind the switchboard looks like a polypore (mushroom), which means that you have mycelium slowly breaking down the wood where it was attached. You should be able to see a white "web" in the wood. They're beautiful creatures, polypores, but better not have them on your boat... And the fruiting body (which you picked) will come back unless the mycelium is removed.
I think that beam trough needs rebuilding for sure
Dead wood saprophyte .. .. ..
Haha, I had to look it up. Forgot what they're called but yes. Definitely polypore. Good call.
@@joshua3113 I was hoping to see CHAGA growing. lol
Wow
That dinghy is awesome! It's a Norwegian Pioner dinghy. They all have double hull and are completely unsinkable, even when they are filled with water😁 Safest dingy ever! The 8 feet is used as safe dinghy for children that need to learn how to row since you do not need to worry about the boat flipping over. The larger ones are widely used as working boats, back and forth between cabins in the fjords. You can never kill them!😅 Drag them over any rock, and they are still fine😅
They also row very well, even against strong winds.
I must agree, I have a pioneer maxi with an outboard motor I got it on my 15th birthday now I'm 40 and the boat still works as good, ilove it♡
@@arthurschuler8906 But how do they row with a salvaged snow shovel instead of oars?
@@MrJhchrist Haha, not that good😁 I guess oars are not on the budget yet..😉 There are wholes to insert new paddle forks(or just tie some loop strings) if he chooses to get some oars😉
@@MrJhchrist He is certainly capable of making a pair
Top notch, Mark. We are seeing more of the build standard of this boat. It would not have survived if it had not been so well built, and now you have rescued it in time. I am sure it is rewarding for you, but you are earning that reward. Well done !
Just wanted to say that I think your doing a great job of cleaning and organising your boat. Hard work doesn’t go un noticed. You have been working hard and it definitely shows. Keep going, not long before that boat will be where you want it to be. Stay safe ⚓️⛵️🛶💦🌊🐟🦆🎣🏝🐳🐙🏄♂️
Just a small tip always wash from top to bottom that way the dirty water running down makes the lower parts easier instead of dirtying them again. Love the boat 👍
Amazing how the Boat has improved with just cleaning. These videos are more interesting than the Sailing ones from last year 👍.
agreed!
by leaps n bounds. It is very intriguing
as a lazy sod I would have used a cordless sander with a soft scouring pad to do all that rubbing. Hats off to you and your grafting nature, it looks so much better for a good clean. Like many others, I'm enjoying watching your journey
Must have been very high quality paint used in the interior. Looks so good after cleaning.
I made that note to self it is really good paint on most parts.
i use to be a painter, owned my own company. I used tsp, rinsed it off to prepare anything to be painted. Lots of clients would say at that stage the place doesnt need painting. The tsp would remove oils, grime basically that actually stinks up the place: you just get used to it. Also that grime will eventually work its way to the surface eventually through the fresh paint. A lot of research has gone into paint restoration, preservation if your interested.
I think the Wharram instructions call for the wood to be coated with three layers of epoxy before the paint.
These videos are a perfect exemplifier of the golden rule of DIY: Do what you can, with what you have, the best you're able.
Hi just a quick note. The water is freezing cold and if you fell in you would struggle to stay afloat with all your cold weather gear on. Most people drown from falling from a tender and not being able to get back on the boat or to shore. Keep safe and I love the fact that you have bought a project. That's all I have ever done and it's the best way to know your boat. Keep on keeping on and you will succeed. All the best Billy
You must be a good film maker if you can make watching you clean interesting. I’m finding it relaxing to watch you do the work! Good to see a shoutout to Alex, his channel deserves more views.
I give it to you. You aren't afraid of hard work, but this is one hell of a mountain to climb. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
A tip for you Mark, miltons sterilising liquid, or dissolvable tabs. After cleaning spray your surfaces with it, leave for 15 mins, then wipe up. It will kill any mold spores you may have missed and you'll never see mold again if you use it for general cleaning thereafter. Worked a charm on our boat.
Yes. I have heard this before. Good tip !
Great progress Mark! So satisfying to watch. 👍
I can tell that you enjoy making the videos because they're good. A highly entertaining channel and an interesting boat. Personally, I never doubted your choice and I look forward to following it's salvation. Good work!
You sound so much more positive in this episode, good for You mate.
Dad will sort the engines bless him.
His Dad is a role model for the entire world. If I were a rich man I would give him all my money
Well done Mark. The holes in your dinghy are purpose built for drainage. All you need are 3 bungs that would normally fit in a Topper or a Laser Dinghy so that the hull can be drained occasionally. Very cheap at most/all Chandlers.
Well done on the clean, a major improvement.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Who knew how handy a shovel would be?
I am so glad you will be replacing the mattress as I am sure mold is inside the foam.
Hello Mark, you're damn brave, to work in this cold, to clean this cat, but it's all to your credit, to be motivated and persevering...!! Cheer ! it doesn't look in bad condition, apparently, once washed, the paint is sound in places where it hasn't rained... good luck for the rest, you'll make a superb sailboat, I I'm sure...!! Hello from France, Vincent
It’s very therapeutic watching you work Mark!! Great job. 😉
Who would have thought watching someone clean could be so satisfying. She's looking great.
"Ladies"!!!,,,,,,,That is actually the funniest thing I've heard in ages🤣🤣🤣🤣 It must be freezing & yet all I feel his your happiness, drive & belief! You are truly an inspiration Mark & at the risk of sounding like a broken record,,I'm so freakin (love that word!!!) proud,,,Love as always🌈🌻Momma🌻🌈
PS,,,as long as the mattress is dry & hasnt got any black mold, it will be fine! I'll treat you to a couple of padded mattress toppers & you'll sleep like a King in your castle ⛵️
Fresh cloths. One of life's little pleasures! I can almost feel their softness in my own hands. You're living the dream now, friend!
Honestly, though, it's a joy watching you turn this into a proper boat through sheer force of will and determination! Well done so far!
Brilliant Mark..so satisfying seeing the boat coming back from the dead...could've watched that all night mate......already anticipating the next installment 👍 👊
Mark, with regard to those mattress slats,, if you buy some sail makers tape and nail the tape down each side of the slats (copper tacks) whilst they are in their respective positions you will find it easy to take them up or replace them back quickly in correct order when you need access to the storage area below. Just a thought.
Mark before pounding in that loose pin on the beam, you should check to see if the hulls are lined up and square
Starting to look really good Mark. Only thing is I have to stop my wife watching the last few episodes with the amount of cleaning you've been doing!! You're making life very difficult for the rest of us..... 🙂
Only going to let my wife watch when he starts sailing
@@NZ.Garner As he's right in the middle of proving: It's all better done solo, with the buddies'n chaps at most, anyway. A suddenly "not happy anymore" sidekick is just too much of a liability for a sailor's life. Just sayin' ....
Keep up the good work and positive outlook.. most people are afraid of being in a situation where they're not surrounded in comfort and luxury but in reality it doesn't take long for a person to get used to living without alot of things. As long as it's dry and warm with a place to stretch out when you sleep you can adapt to the rest
You have the boat that dreams are made of there Brother. She will take You to the Stars and back. Enjoy Each Beautiful Moment. You are getting to Know Her Intimately right now and that will Serve You well going forward.
Great job so far Mark.
I think you should do as much rebuilding where the boat is as it's not costing you any fees . In the boat yard , time is money . I love your boat and all it's potential !
Well done Mark, i realize there's a load of work to do, and i think you're the right man for the job. The boat looks much nicer. I enjoy your video's so much. Keep up the great videos and the great work.
Since you have bought this Wharram cat I’ve been looking at other owners and their boats such a intriguing design and history,I now don’t think you’re totally off the wall but a dreamer with a plan so I’m in for the long hall to dream along with you champ good luck
Been watching you from your last cat start. I am 67..my heart tells me to follow MY dreams, passions, and goal. That takes compassion, passion, a vision, alot of work, commitment, and learning lessons along the way. As an oldhead, I enjoy your drive and dream. Can't wait to see you somewhere along your waters journeys. Dont Stop bro.
Your work is getting neater.
The pins that hold the cross-beam most likely have holes drilled through them to accept either a split pin or an R clip, or possibly even a circlip - but I doubt it at that size.. It will be the through-pin that prevents them from jumping out. If you hammer them down then you will see the hole that was drilled through at the factory.
Your new boards look nice. I would not go for paint or varnish, these chip and crack. I would use Danish Oil which - fun fact - is actually Chinese (Tung Oil). You will need three or four coats. Gives a lovely shiny finish and will soak into the wood to some extent, so not just a surface preparation.
Yes, I would treat the wood before walking on it. Paint, etc can chip. White, wet epoxy can get slippery and still crack w/o fibers - expensive? 😅
Cleaning is great - I would still like to see you using a hand spray bottle like your colleague used last week!
Thx for bringing us along 😊😊😊 Ken
Your doing a great job Mark, it’s looking good.
When I first saw your choice of boat, ⛵ I thought you were, Mad as a Mushroom !!
But you are fast becoming my Hero ! Who knew ? Wishing you all the luck in the world 😃
Your making really hard work of cleaning that boat young fella.
Scraping the loose stuff off with a plastic scraper first, would be a good idea. Spraying the dirty walls with Mr Muscle , and letting it work for a minute or two , before wiping it with a clean wettish cloth, instead of going at it with clean cloths from the start.
Still , you managed it in the end. Well done. Looking forward to more progress. 👍👍👍
I’m pleased to see you enjoy Alex Goes Sailing too. You lads are such straightforward wholesome sailing entertainment.
Have been cleaning boats more than once . Your video made it almost possible to smell the old boat air . Keep up the good work !
Mark, Once again a wonderful and interesting video - love it!. It's exciting to see the emergence of the beautiful boat you're uncovering, one job at a time. She's well made!! And you are making her shine. Congrats and thank you for bringing us along. You're by far, one of the TOP sailing RUclipsrs!
Mark you are doing really well.....Kudos for seeing past the dirt and grime......this is going to be a beautiful boat, can't wait till you get to the boat yard...cheers
When you pulled out the lantern, at first I thought the glass was part of a bong lol.
Sweet shoutout to Alex Goes Sailing. Love watching that guy cruise around! Wharram is coming along very nicely
Being able to watch what is emerging is a treat. Finding the good hull underneath, it's mostly good very little actual degradation to the wood itself excepting for that one break in the surfacing substrate at one of the tillers, your freind found, if that is all there is then you got an absolute bargain. It is shaping up.Bravo on the cleaning.
I'm invested now, can't wait to see where this one goes
Lonely job dude. Good on you for sticking
There is something very ASMR about watching you clean the mess up, keep going one day at a time 🙂
Out of all the RUclipsr building sailing vessels I want to see how this one turns out.
Nice to see a hard working individual achieving goals! Thanks for the content.
YEAH!
I admire your ability to see beyond the grime and rust, and to work methodically towards your dreams.
A hundred thousand details, and you've tackled each in turn.
Well done thus far.
.
Mark, after you fitted your sheet and invitingly said “ladies” then followed by a fragrant spritz and another invite I was surprised that there wasn’t an immediate knock on the hull of your boat.
Great work and good job!
More power to you Mark you got this keep pushing forwards all us Wildlings are with you sir
I believe neoprene closed cell foam is available in a variety of densities and thicknesses. Easier to keep clean and excellent floatation. Have a look into it for matresses and cushions. 😉
Nice work! Good old fashioned elbow grease and cleaning. It's very satisfying to watch. Each step forward is so rewarding. Thanks for the video!
The life of a sailor is indeed a tough one , but you are very resilient and spiritually ready for this new journey.Blessings and much peace.There will always be naysayers but keep your focus and you shall sail soon .Shalom .
Well done mate! You’re doing a Sterling job in what looks a difficult location! Get her in the boatyard asap and you’ll be cooking on gas! Keep that smile on your face buddy, you’re doing great! 🍺🇬🇧
Lots of respect for the cleaning job👍✌️💪
Its amazing how people love to spout bile and negativity , I bet most have them have never even sailed a boat ! , anyone who has unubscribed from your channel because you did'nt take their advice instead of getting behind you and giving support is going to miss a lot of great content in the future . I just discovered your channel through your very latest video and subscribed straight away , I am really looking forward to seeing your progress .
Hats off to your hard work... I love sailing & have done a bit in my 79 years. I now enjoy a few sailing programs on UTube and will enjoy watching your progress every week.
Nice progress! It looks hard work doing all that scrubbing, but it's so satisfying to see it clean! One step closer!
Looking really good Mark - she's coming up nicely except for that foam mattress of course! Will be really good when you can get her hauled and access to power and water, tools, etc. and also check out the bottom.
Blimey you are tough. Getting out there in the snowy conditions to scrub mould and mildew. Respect
I was thinking about your other half and then heard the background music. Hope you two are doing well, and you keep on sailing. Keep busy, soon you'll have a team of master boat builders, sponsors, going around the globe in competition. And much much more.
Such great work my friend. Keep after it. Your hard work is paying off already. You are dedicated. That always helps in hard times. I believe your days are turning brighter. Glory.
A YT channel where they do proper repairs with sellotape. Finally!
I said walk away no run when first you viewed the boat ,I was wrong you have grafted and not given up well done look forward to further progress
Never thought I’d enjoy someone cleaning so much, great work lad, you certainly don’t mind getting ya hands dirty, great stuff.
Mark, really great improvement, just goes to show what hard work can achieve - keep it up matey
Welldone, one step closer to the yard and before you know it, all that hard work will payoff. Stay focused and go for it 👏
Every day on my way to work i saw this boat rotting away. Now it is getting a new life! Keep up the good work! Loving it. Dont forget to enjoy 😅
the nice fungus you found is Artist’s Conk (Ganoderma applanatum) You can find it growing on many species of trees, from conifers to broad-leaf trees. It’s a thick shelf fungus, with brown on the top and white on the bottom
Great job , looking great! You could use the old foam mattress for outside cushions if recovered👍
That thing isn't for any live creature's use anymore. Black mold (every aspergillus whatsoever) is highly toxic and leads to longterm health issues of all kinds in every mammal.
Bravo, bon nettoyage, bonne restauration, vous allez avoir un super catamaran, bon courage pour la suite 😀
Well done Mark she looking great as everyone has said under the dirt is a very well built boat your work ethic on the boat does you proud I had my doubts at first on choice of boat but I think you have a winner look forward to next week
Great progress! Keep going, Mark! Get that decking going, and sort out some propulsion that won't leave you stuck..or with a (2-stroke) ticket!
Well done Mark , it's looking great.
Mark you are the Genie of the Lamp, you are doing a great job there is so much cleaning to do and you have done a lot already.
A BIG WELL DONE
Well that was so relaxing to watch after a challenging day on the paper. Making fantastic progress Mark. I have to say hats off to whoever originally built that boat despite all the neglect its in remarkably good shape. I think I'm becoming addicted to your channel!
You started this project at the right time of the year. You have a whole summer ahead of you to get cracking, and, from memory, the weather in Hollland usually is pretty good to bearable until late October and, if you're lucky, into November.That gives you a good six to seven months to prove to yourself you've made the right decision, not necessarily finishing the project but starting to see the end of the tunnel!
Mark, I can see potential being even better than Minky.. Done & Doing very well😊😊😊
All you have to do is give that little dinghy some love and she'll be the perfect little dinghy to get you to and off your boat. Nothing wrong with that, at all. Btw Mark looks like you've got yourself a great boat, looking forward to this refit should be very interesting. I'm kinda excited for ya to be honest.
Nice going at the floor boards!
About the tape measure , you didn't know so you learned something new!
Douglas fir is not bad but I definitely oil the planks before installing!
All in all, great video!
Thanks dude!
It's like watching Colin Furnze on seditives, fix a sailboat. Time well spent and thanks for not asking us to subscribe or like. We'll watch as we like anyway.
Don't hammer the pin on the crossbeam. Use a G- Clamp to force it in, but first align it as much as possible. You can put some EVA tubes or plank like surrounds on the side of your tender to stabilise it and it will be more forgiving like an inflatable. The lower you mount them the more stable. André in Sydney
I thought you were about to make a wish when you were rubbing the lamp, hoping for a genie to appear. Great work certainly looking far better now it’s cleaner.
Keep up the good work,
A free dingy with free delivery, wow you can't beat that!
Great job of cleaning & making your boat into a livable environment
Nice mushroom, you should keep it it’s symbolic mushrooms are a good friends🍄
Nice... Friday entertainments ...Wildlings style
Great videos Mark - really appreciate all the work you put in for the different angles and the humorous touches re the sound editing etc - Boat is looking great..cheers
Love this series, have been watching them all today and will be following for the ones to come!! I'm from The Netherlands btw.
05:55 it looks like Fomes fomentarius. I'd definitely check the wood around its habitat!
Chaga!!! lol
Yes, that could very well be.👌
More importantly, this is only the fruiting body, the wood below, or actually above, will be completely riddled with mycelium, and therefore rotten😱!
@@kurrtuhh2971 Chaga is Inonotus obliquus, another species…
