Do you have any ideas to speed up the work? Because at this rate, you won't make it before retirement....

@fat_biker Год назад

@@jackzux9362 If you see how far they've come in a year or two, working on their own, it's pretty miraculous.

@duaneayers6117 Год назад

I've been watching you 2 since the beginning of the videos. My question is. Do you 2 plan on selling everything and living on this boat. Just curious.

@dandersonjr Год назад

I don't know if you realize this but once this boat is complete and you're using it you two will probably become famous in the boating and the boat building world. This is how people that are respected in an industry start out from picking out a project and seeing it through. People are going to want to pay for your knowledge acquired by actually physically doing the work instead of reading it in a book. At least that's what I think.

@rayswann7618 Год назад

I think you are dead right

@Nick-rr5cy Год назад

If I ever venture over to England I’ll go and see sardine

@tomtucker3193 Год назад

I can imagine the satisfaction of actually using a boat that you have completely restored. But how will that compare to the satisfaction gained by doing the work? My bet is that once Sarinda is being enjoyed another worthy project will be discovered in another muddy bank…

@patriciacrumrine5890 11 месяцев назад

I wonder if Simon and Gemma will ever want to build a new boat from scratch.

@davidflamee Год назад

As a regular viewer, thank you to all your patrons, helping to bring more videos to us. Well done on the progress and all your hard work. To see this project completed is my dream, Sarinda back on the high waters. You can smash this.

Loving your progress. Still watch from Christchurch, New Zealand. Fan Joke. Did you know about the guy who sold his collection of old tractors? He is now an extractor fan. Old ones are the best.

@TheByard Год назад

I live 40 klm from Ho Chi Minh towards the coast, today's forecast is 30deg and 91% humidity. It rained most of yesterday and I think it will rain all afternoon today. Clothes get soaked so I just get on with it till the jobs done, other days I could be changing 5 times to stay nice. We have fans fitted everywhere, plus 6 moveable ones, we have a huge carport that covers the front garden and that's where we eat most meals. It's great for party's and saves us hiring a tent and closing the road. After lunch is nap time, one because it's hot, two because at 78 I deserve it. A lot of beer is drunk in the evenings sat outside, only use the A/C to cool the bedrooms before going to bed, then it's just a fan overnight. This prevents aches, pains and stuffy heads.

@WimvdBrink 11 месяцев назад

While slowly but steadily going on you start talking about the deck beams, that made me so happy. I think I started watching while you where doing one side of the front, and every time the plastic cover of the deck went off and I saw how the top of the hull did look I wondered what would happen there, but while watching how you 2 did all that work and made everything look soo much better I stared gaining trust this would become something great. And now seeing how the tops are repaired and how things are progressing I cant wait to see the deck going off and on with a new deck. So cool to see this going on and to see sarinda rising up out of the mud..

@EdSmith-wb6lx 11 месяцев назад

You two are amazing as you keep going even in the heat we are just coming down from our hot weather after many weeks never below 110 F But we are used to it but it is still hot and our heat has no humidity so that helps i remember the weather in England for my first 32 years so i admire you two sticking to the work. Sarinda is coming along great it will be so good to see her when she goes in the water you can both be so proud when that happens. Wonky was probably happy to see you and to get the treats again, stay safe & well, Ed 40 S 0f Vegas

@jameslandi1797 Год назад

Having owned four large wood production boats (built in the early to mid 1960s), I can attest to the fact that your boat is in extraordinary condition for its age and lack of maintenance.... as you well know by now, wood boat rot from the deck down.... that so little of the diagonal -planking is rotted is extraordinary. Keep chipping away.... you're both inspirational for your hard work, skill, and deep and loving commitment to each other.

@shelleyregnier6671 Год назад

As usual, I'm blown away by your commitment to this project and I'm not just blowing hot air.🤣

There's certainly been a improvement in Simon's mental health problems since you started the project has iv'e seen from watching the first vlog. Noel Coward's song "Mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun " comes to mind.

hi Simon and Gemma, you are doing a lovely job on the old girl, your enthusiasm realy does shine thru, keep up the good work, a friend here in Australia has an old wooden boat and she was actually fitted with short masts to carry stabilising sails (another huge project)

@stevebaker5642 Год назад

I worked 3 months (back in 91/92 - Nov to early Feb) in the Solomon Islands (summer for them) ... coming from New Zealand we'd peak at about 30C, but in the islands, it peaked at 52C. to acclimatize for the heat, I worked at home in all my winter gear for 6 weeks prior to my flight! ... it was still hot, but not unbearably so. [that said, even the native guys on our work crew thought we were bonkers working with concrete in those temps!] we worked from 6 to 8:30 am then had breakfast, and carried on til 12 before stopping for lunch & a 3hr rest, before another work session - dinner at 6pm & pitch black by 7!

A new word for you - gluezage - glue oozage! - - I asked, a couple of times previously, if Wonky was still about, but you've answered that today!

@Birdii1980 Год назад

Good progress for sure, that said Wonkey is back!

@dlfendel2844 Год назад

Talking about the differences between Sarinda and Boutari, the BIG one for docking will be....wind. Higher, bigger profile on the water means basically Sarinda is a huge SAIL up above so you'll find that interesting to deal with in certain situations, especially navigating around tight marinas and slips.

@stevejohnstonbaugh9171 Год назад

I appreciate you taking the time to make the point that the port and starboard sides of the hull are structurally connected. I don't think everyone appreciated the structural connection of the knees to the deck beam and hull trough bolts. Personally, I would put a snug fit post below each deck beam mid ship - just to make sure there was no sag (or to take out a sag). A center beam string line might be useful to determine if there is sag in any one beam. 😊

Usually when doing hot laborious work, it always seems overwhelming and miserable. But once the work is done and you are enjoying the fruits of such labor, it seems all to disappear and forgotten...for the most part. Hang in there. It will pay off soon!

@agw5425 Год назад

It takes the average person around 2 weeks for the body to adapt to a new climate(with in reason) so on a month long trip to a hot country you should expect sweat and discomfort for the 2 first weeks and to feel cold the 2 first weeks you are home again. Biology is amazing in its complexity.

@royblackburn1163 Год назад

I self identify as an extractor fan, but that's only because I used to like old tractors.

@marthabace632 Год назад

Looks great, y'all !! And I'll admit that 28°C is rather warm when you're not used to it. So Gemma, just be glad you're not working down here in the Sunny Southern US where we're generally around 35° to 37°C in August and September (and don't forget to factor in the 90-95% humidity!). 😅 I'm glad you moved the fan outside. It's not weird... we do that all the time here! 😊

@lauralake7430 Год назад

I always figure if you feel overheated, its HOT! Doesnt matter what the weather is somewhere else! And you should see us Californians loose our little minds when we get some rain!😅

@glynluff2595 Год назад

In really hot countries you work till the sweat rolls off you with a strong inclination to observe matters in Anglo Saxon. The air conditioning does not work, that is part of your responsibility and you are usually high in a dark hole doing some of the work by feel. The local labour has to be watched as your tools are better than theirs and often vanish if you are inattentive! People wonder what we gave to the world it was the Anglo Saxon work ethic but it is something we are still good at in those situations.

You two are a hoot. Down here where it is 30 + c every day. They work till noon and take siesta for 2-3 hours during the heat of the day. Start early in the am and work till 6pm. You two are getting faster at this. It is all coming together and looking great. Cheers.

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

The problem with UK is not so much the range of temperature but the unpredictable nature of our weather. It can be baking one week and chilly the next week.

@user-jn4gf3ek5r Год назад

Stop fan-nying about and get to installing those frames!! 🙂 As marthabace632 says, it's bad when you're not used to the heat AND humidity. We've been enjoying 40-deg+ C heat here in southeast Texas lately, so you expect to sweat. Any air movement is good, so yeah, a fan outside is not out of the question. You'll get used to it, and really feel the relief when the humidity drops. Much easier to work when your sweat is evaporating vs. when you're basically swimming in it. Brilliant work, guys, keep it up!!

@andrewmullen4003 Год назад

Can I suggest when you cut scarfs on the new wood, you cut it in the middle of two frames segments so you can waste less timber, sorry it's difficult to explain, but for example if you needed two frames 24 inches long you can make them out of a piece 48 inches long, with both scarfs cut at the same time in the middle. Just an idea, love the channel.

Watching an episode from a couple of weeks back, its amazing how much flex was in the hull after you removed the old parts of the beam shelf. Most people wouldn't give a second thought as to how much rigidity comes from a simple beam shelf. Its a slow process, but vital.

@alangurman3961 Год назад

As for your heat question, Gemma. Here in Cairns (Australia), we are regularly above 30 with 90% humidity. Work outside in the mornings and evening and inside during the day. Exactly what you are doing.

You will find docking a twin screw boat a breeze. Engines just above idle, rudders amid ship, do everything with the clutches. Bump forward, reverse or one of each.

@Mark-jp9dz Год назад

Having the space to do all the work on her, and what will be spacious accommodation is fabulous, but don't lose sight of the significantly larger bills for running her. Fuel cost will make your eyes water, berthing when cruising will be more difficult to find space and much more costly. Insurance is also a problem for old boats, but at the end you will have preserved a very important historic boat, and have lots to look back on.
