The Famous €1 Boat Came With a Stick. WE FOUND THE MAST!!! | SAILING SEABIRD Ep. 15 

Cheers Phil. We're just doing our best. Trying to enjoy the process. Thanks for watching ☺️

Most of the time it's a hoot. Cheers for watching 🙂

Who's Hendrick..? Cheers 🍻

George, Such a beautiful way of putting it. Thank you 😊

You really think so. Thanks. You smile, and people smile back. Cheers for watching 😃

@@SailingSeabird yes, I do! Good luck with the boat! :)

Thank you. That's such a nice thing to say x

Hey Marty, How you keeping. We've been super busy. I'm back at work 🤮 etc etc Marina is doing well with the video, maybe the holiday vid was a bit lacking. Tbh just wanted to hang out with my parents. We are slowly building up a pile of crap to install. Still waiting on that fuel tank. So when we return we can really hit the ground running. Hull, tanks, floor and galley. Next seasons mission. Throw in a rewire and a bit of plumbing we might be getting a closer to seeing if she floats. Thanks as always for watching ☺️

Thanks!

Ditto from SR/JR.😊

Hello, Max is a good addition. Cheers for watching 😃

It’s so true… We always think you’ll receive what you put out. It’s way easier being friendly and nice with each other. Everyone in this yard has been so so helpful 🤗

Hiya Bob, No gift. Just love meeting people. Cheers for watching 😃

The retail prices are eyewatering and they are as fragile as heck. Mine have a 1mm tolerance on a 550mm hatch. So basically they just leak.

Hiya Mike, I think we have it sorted. We've managed to sort out the hinges and got to rubber do hopefully no more wet toes when it rains at night (the portlight leaks on my side of the cabin) Cheers for watching 😃

Hiya Todd, Got to love a catalogue. Thanks for the kinds words.

We'll see about that. Dreaming of being covered in fibreglass dust, sounds more like a nightmare... Cheers for watching 😃

There was a boat abandoned near us. The owner was in care and the Trustees refused to sell it. It deteriorated until the engine room was flooded. Had 20+ pigeons living on it. When he died his will left the boat to the club. It was sold for peanuts and taken away. Literally a $180,000 boat left until it was worth $2000. The pigeons stayed....

Hiya Roy, Thanks for the vote of confidence. Only time will tell if we can do it or not. Cheers for watching 😉

Cheers Jack, That's Max the trailer... Cheers for watching 😃

Hiya Mike, For us it's been a dream for years. We love light wind sailing! Not as scary and you can still watching movies whilst laying on the sofa. A cruisers life... Cheers for watching 😃

We are happy you enjoy the videos. We are just building our little home. Cheers for watching

Max, he's an asset to the team. Cheers for watching John. 😃

Cheers Thomas 🍻

Cheers. Crazy or stupid, fine line

Hiya, Thanks for that. We are a bit behind on replies. Cheers for watching 😃

Yo you three! How you doing? Must be getting excited now, if you haven't already left. You so supportive towards us, thank you. I truly means a lot xxx

Thomas you're so right. Sometimes we do think we should focus more but Where's the fun in that. Cheers mate 👍

Hi Oliver!! Thanks for your comment :) The subtitles are automatic so we apologise as they are not very accurate 😅

Ok ☺️ But you know, it is really easy to edit the automatic subtitles?

Hiya Shaun, We just doing us. You can't be anyone else can you? Cheers for the encouragement 🤗

Got to get it wrong to get it right. Cheers for watching 😃

Cheers mate. It's going to be a long journey we think. Thanks for watching ☺️

Keith, Next time we're in florida we'll have to check it out. Cheers for watching 😃

Hiya, We couldn't agree more. You give good energy and you hope to receive good energy. Not always the case but sometimes you've got to pay it forward. Cheers mate 👍

Love it! We got gifted an anchor by some people that turned out to be a bit nasty so we'll have think of a suitable name... Cheers for watching 😃

We'll try. It's all we can do. Thanks for watching ☺️

Thank you for the encouragement. Cheers for watching 😃

Thank you 😊

Thank you Tim!! :)

Cheers Carla. The viewers comments makes this a fun process. Thank you 😊

Hiya, Stu's a technician and Marina is a house keeper. It's a nice change from the yard and we can squirrel away some pennies. This year we call it engine money. Cheers for watching 😃

It’s so handy 😊

The plexiglass is a doddle. It is the hinges and handles that fit into the frames that fall apart. One by one my handles are failing. The company stopped making them. Just put in new hatches. OK. One hatch $890. Fitting charge by local boatyard $1,000. They have a 1mm tolerance over 550mm length. Get that wrong and you will wake up with a wet bed. All because a $20 plastic handle failed.

Hi Phil, Luckily we aren't in America. Sounds expensive.

Hiya Jeff All sorted. Not putting plexiglass. We want portlights. With a bit of work and a bit of tinkering they will be fine. Cheers for watching 😃

Nice idea but I think we've sorted it. A few little modifications and jobs a good one. Cheers for watching 😃

Cheers 🌞🌞🌞

We are looking looking forward to it as well… It will hopefully look great once finished 😊

Nah, it's German. Toplicht is a German chandler :) However the word also exists in Dutch but we've got no chandler by that name...

Hiya Stefan, You could be right. The shop is in Hamburg... Cheers for watching

Hiya Warren, Rigging is off except one stubborn shroud. Got the new wire. Will order the stalok fittings over winter. Happy with the mast. Cheers for watching 😃

The keel... Next season we'll get that sort. I have a plan...

Hiya, I'm not sure. We won't go for an ac and heating wise we'll probably get a little wood burner. Marina says just go somewhere warm... Cheers for watching 😃

Hiya Bob, We got new hinges and chopped them in half. That should do the job. Cheers for watching

So true. Cheers for watching 😃

In total..? Maybe a thousand. Cheers for watching 😃

Hi Alexander. We're the same, love to binge watch. We'll keep making videos but soon we return to work so the flavour will change for the winter. Cheers for watching 😃

Most important things: Engine Rigging Hull The rest is luxury. It's our life's and our safety so we won't compromise on that. Cheers for watching 😃

@@SailingSeabird yeh I live on a yacht and know boats all my life... Why waste money when you have none?

😂😂😂 Pretty sure hehe It’s a pretty weird shape

Hiya Nigel, Not going to publish all your comments. I'll give you a summary. Strength, so I can't lift an engine alone wit a 6:1 block that makes me a weak sailor. If I needed to do it everyday I'd agree. The mast. A bit of pitting means nothing, weld a collar on the base. The mast is fine. We know a new foot/socket is needed for the keel, where the mast sits. You had many negative comments on us as people and some were even edging on nasty. We've sailed enough and worked on enough boats to know what we have. Can I ask where has your wealth of knowledge has come from. What boat refits have you done, where have you sailed. You might be coming from a concerning place but they way you out it is rude and disrespectful. Never poo poo someone's dream as it makes you look like a bitter person. Maybe watch something else if this is your attitude 🤨

The boats fine, most of it will buff out. Stay for the journey. It makes for good tv yelling. Cheers and fair winds.

Hi Gary! We already bought the wire and it wasn’t anything near that hehe plus we already have most of the sta-lok fittings 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 Slowly getting all the bits for everything 😊

@@SailingSeabird Yeah, sorry, I was being negative---bad on me! Best wishes!

Pick your battles. We got the tank sorted in the end and tbh maybe he was right. Things apparently do go missing. But to brand a new customer as a thief... We know not to use this company again. It's all part of the process.

😊💪🏼

Haha, on what?! Seriously we gave the boat a clean. Bought a fridge (that was expensive) and 500 bucks on fibreglass. The whole project is only going be 25k so if your maths is as good as your repair skills you best pay someone else. Plus this talk of drugs is very wrong and rude. First time I've said this but please don't comment or watch. Your negative energy is not welcome here!

Hiya Roy, Thanks mate. What a kind thing to say. We are just us, trying to be the best we can be. Sometimes yes, somestimes could be better. Thanks for watching ☺️
