Big Progress on our $1 Sailboat 

I just love Marinas accent!! I could listen to her talk to about anything.. thanks for sharing your journey with us!!!

"We can jazz it up with pictures of loved ones". 😂

So glad I've watched you two from the start of your project. It's so nice to see it coming along. May the treasure always find you :)

4:03 : "that beefy sander is doing the job" Jay! I couldn't be more pleased to hear that. 👍

Great JOB. Wonderful opportunity to be part of your progress. It´s a great pleasure. Thank you.

Always looking forward to Friday to see your progress looking great thank you for letting us watch can't wait to see her on the water😊

oh glorious sanding, now where have I heard that before? thanks for sharing you guys....

Sunny days and activities outside! Nice!

Another awesome video! Seabird is going to look great again!

Lol your so naughty Marina, I could hear the little giggle when you said check out Stu’s pole😂. And Stu wants a pole ring too

Great progress, you make me laugh! Thank you for another great video.

Liking the drone shots! My friend used to call the trash finds “ the garbage gods “. I guess for you two it’s the bin gods 😉 Stay with it! Everything is improving.

Your faithfulness at keeping on with the tasks is inspiring. I am confident that you could walk across any continent of the globe if you decided to do it.

Looks like that hull will be ready for the water soon 😉😜😃🍻

Maybe you could do a painting of a "seabird" with diverent kinds of wood on that wall.

Really nice episode again. Love to see you two and your dream progression so well.

I like your video’s. For me you have to change nothing, keep on going like this. Grtz. From the Netherlands

Stuart you have done a great job on the sanding so far bit by bit it's coming along great work both of you 👏👏⛵

36 subs away from 40,000 subs, that's awesome news to hear, excited for you both. You deserve all the subs you can get you've come a long ways, in this refit. congrats

Hi Marina & Stu. My husband and I have enjoyed watching your project for some time now. You have made phenomenal progress; Seabird’s looking wonderful and you should be extremely proud of your transformation efforts👍😀 Not sure if you’ve come up with an idea for your feature wall yet, but maybe consider painting it either the blue of the exterior (if you are keeping that colour) or an ocean/water colour (so many different shades to choose from) and as your boat is called ‘Seabird’ frame and put up pictures/photos/paintings of your favourite sea birds (e.g. seagull, cormorant)? Anyways, whatever you decide I’m sure will look fantastic!! Looking forward to seeing further progress next week. Stay hydrated and cool. Best wishes from some Australian fans - Lisa & Mark🦘🌏

Congrats on hitting 40k! You guys are awesome!!

Proper progress again. Well done you two wish I could pitch in to help .

The wall in toilet could be done with the interlocking pvc shower wall you get in any big diy store some realy nice designs available and its a small space do the entire room

Save that wall for Souvenirs from every place you will visit 😊

The boat looks a bit naked without the bowstem. But it’s all for the good. Have a good weekend

I`ve got an idea for the wall . Put an picture what you love printed on a alluminium/pvc plate on it!

Living the dream guys. God bless you with success for your project. x

I stumbled upon your channel the week you posted the video where Stewart was dragging you out through the weeds to look at seabird, believe you only had a few thousand subscribers. I haven't missed a video since and definitely subscribed along way back.. I have faith that by the time you have seabird ready to venture around you will have a great following and a successful channel where you continue to entertain us all and take us along on your travels while we support you in anyway we possibly can..

Congrats on your 40k! Well deserved.

Great video by the way and thank you for sharing it

Loving the drone shots. Nice to see how you sit in the surrounding countryside. That basin may be a bit “sloshy” underway but it looks elegant. Go well❤

Loving the drone shots...great video!😊👍🌟🎉

So it's sunday morning and youtube stats 40.100. Congratulations. Going for the 50.000 :-)

Dear Marina! hanks for the invite, but checking out Stu's pole is your job. 🤭

Looks like you are making good progress. 🤗💖🙂⛵🐬🌴

Forty K! How awesome is that!?!?!?! Congratulations! Still groovin’ on your positive vibe. You guys are the best! (So….hot…..here. We’re on pause, until we get our vehicles sorted.Hangin’ at home this month. Back to the boat soon. ) 😎🥰🥰🥰🥰😎

What about a big mirror on the wall in the loo with led lighting strip around it, be great for Stu to do his make up in😂

Hard word on this week, but good results.

Je vous apprécie beaucoup. Vous suivre et très plaisant.

For the bathroom wall: a map where you can mark every place you dock Seabird!

Almost time to prep the hull for epoxy sealer primer, then go straight for copper coat! 👍👍👍

The sink drain can be at high level to ensure it drains, to low and when healed over you might get back fill with running water pressure under sail

Thanks for the nice video 🏝️☮️

Great progress. A lick of paint, some anti fouling, not long now…

Should use a long board sanding on hull, when glossy the sanded low spots will be visible in mirror finish, could longboard after first primer sanding most of it off.

How about covering that wall with lots of photos of the restoration. Not in any kind of sequence, but just snapshots of bits of the rebuild that have felt particualrly significant to either one of you. Something to contemplate and ponder over long into the future, when you're off on your travels.

Bien....el trabajo constante produce resultados....step by step....de seabird rides again😂

Another productive week. You went from Seabird to ---bird and finally to -----rd 😂. When you finished with all the sanding and painting we hope SEABIRD is reinstated ❤❤❤

keep up the good work 👍

Vinyl wrap of something funky for the heads wall.....

5:02 um, ah-hu 😊

I got the real feel of Port Napoleons cars ! :D

It looks like Marina is enjoying playing with her drone.

Your channel reminds me of a long time ago, when i was young and before on demand tv, where you had to wait a week for your favorite tv show to air. 😊 Keep it up, and thanks for taking me on your build adventure.

Loving the drone footage amazing progress

Best channel on RU-vid. Love how thing are progressing in the last few videos👏

Great episode again and what a good progress!! Much be a nice change to work on the outside of the boat again. The hull is looking sharp already. Keep up the good work!

You are making great head way!! congratulation!!!

For the 'Extendable' Bow Sprit, an eye bolt just above the water line and two sheaves. A single at the bottom and a double on the sprit, then tie some Dyneema to the 'Eye', run it up through the double, down through the single and back up through the double. Then run the bitter end back to a cleat on deck. When you retract the pole you can take in the slack and cleat it off, holding the pole in place. Once extended, hauling in on the line will give the down-force needed to counteract the sails lift... This would be, to me, the cheapest and simplest solution, but I'm sure your inventive minds will come up with something! 😁

Very good progress made in today's video... looking good

Keep up the great work both of you. Just a suggestion for the sink in the head, maybe sit it on a small plinth and make a feature of it just to make double sure that the fittings underneath have enough clearance?

I wish you success in your work. It is not easy to deal with such scrap boats.

If that rubbing strip is Aluminium, a mop will make it shiny, shiny.

If that is a new drone , it works well !

Big changes on the boat yes, but what I have noticed you guys are improving on the quality of your videos.....ie the drone footage, editing, music, etc....keep it up. I missed you on Friday, but here first thing Saturday though.....I was out of town

Good progress 😎💚💙👍👍🍺🍺🍻

Thank you for sharing your lovely personalities with us, thank you for brightening my weekend every week and thank you for bringing us along on this journey of yours and Seabird's. Oh, and enjoy your new spanner ;-)

Seems like you're already over 40k subscribers! Congrats!

Nice last aerial shot, que bien :) !

Great work. Luv in the progress. Great show as always.

Thanks again for another great video. You have both achieved so much with the 'bird and its looking great. That list of jobs will go up and down but the results are looking really good. Hope there is no arguments over the Euro football later this evening. Well done guys looking forward to next friday. Keep going!

Stuarts my kinda guy one mans waste is another mans treasure :)

Its no small thing to make such hard graft look so much fun, keep it going guys and think of the sailing to come. Thanks for sharing.

I did my head walls with cedar tongue and groove. You might like that for your wall.

Go marina!❤

You guys are awesome .. From New Zealand

Yours is one of my favorite refit projects because it is done on a rather tight budget.

Stue, Maria im not sure what your intending for the Carbon pole but while i think its perfect to hold a sail or spinnacker open .. you have to be carefull if you want to hold it down in compression they can crush unless they are held down over a wide area and evenly. Just a point to check.

Lovely channel. Tomorrownight it will be Spain vs England. I hope you guys survive ........😇😇😇

Love the videos! To decorate that wall in the bathroom, you could put all the names of your Patreons on there, then varnish over the top :)

Just fantastic commitment on show every week, you have my total admiration! Re-use, Repair, Recycle is how we help the health of our beautiful planet. Fair sailing, SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.

I love tuning in each week and seeing the progress you're making. It's so inspiring to see how well you kids work together and problem solve.so well. Seabird is looking better and better each week.

Love the S&M channel!!!

Things are looking amazing. Keep up the hard work ❤

Good step forward in upgrading your photo equipment. Please never change your presentation styles though as your videos are a joy to watch each week.

Can't wait to see that hull and top-sides panted. Well done guys. Thanks for sharing.

Great progress both of you. Keep it up, look forward to your videos each Friday. Thank you for your work putting together the videos for our entertainment. I don’t understand why anyone who has watched even just one of your videos wouldn’t subscribe.

One of the best boat refurbs on youtube, we always look forward to your updates, good luck from the UK

gogogo, and yeah subscribe people these are honest cool cats 😎

Always nice to start the weekend with you guys😊 looks like the Hamburg is finally gone

Spennende prosjekt!

Was wondering if Stewart might be able to find some new toe rail angles with various block locations in the bin, to replace the old aluminum ones you took off? I thought a nice teak rail would be lovely. Nice work guys, she's looking marvelous!

About reusing your old Aluminium-Guardrail: i guess the original pieces were anodised (as surface-pretreatment before painting). It will be pretty hard for you (as almost newbies to the world of chemicals, painting materials and correct procedures) to judge if the original Aluminium was anodized at first or not. But: it was mounted on a production sailboat, so i'm 95% sure that it was anodised because of the resistance to seawater. So what that means for you ? You have to be careful by sanding these pieces for new paint application ! So just roughen up the old surface (using 180 / 220 # by hand or 280 by machine, not coarser) just to secure a good bond of your new paintmaterials to the old coating. The idea behind that: using the old coating as a primer for your new one. If the old surface is scrached/damaged to the ground or covered with blisters you have to sand that aereas down to the bare aluminium (not caring if it was anodized or not) and build these areas up as if it was blank / new / not anodised aluminium before. Means: using a 2 component acid primer (usually with phosphoric acid inside => "Prop Speed" is such a product - but not the only one), a high-build primer ontop of that (can be out of a spray can, look in the "Car-Repair-Section") and than a light sand (using 280 / 320 #) before painting anew. Good results and best regards from your truthfully Paint-Shop-Manager from Berlin, Germany

Hard working couple. Best video on RU-vid. You 2 are amazing and you have team spirit par exelance. Go Seabird the blue water is waiting for you.

The sanding is going great and the ancor plates are of love your video great stuff

Great job done this week. Good progress

so happy to seeing you two's video!!!
