Your second boat has proved it's weight in gold, a real work horse. Hats off to today's crew!

I have spent five years remodeling a simple 1970's fibreglass sailboat. Could never imagine taking on a project of thus scale but you are getting it done. Well done guys!.

@billmeldrum2509 4 years ago

When I first spotted your channel on thought you were a bit nuts. Since then I’ve become a regular viewer and am in awe of your commitment and passion for this very unique project. Best of luck. 🇨🇦

As usual Gemma is outstanding! Well done to all the bald guys!

@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE 4 years ago (edited)

Very wise prepping the lumber before installation. So much time saved and less paint dripping in your eyes 😬 I love the chocks you built into your tender to hold the sheets of plywood. Great idea.

@fonhollohan2908 4 years ago

Well Simon it was smart of you to fasten those blocks on the cap rails of the tender to keep your load secure. Not a bad idea there bud, not bad at all. Cheers looking forward to seeing that roof being rebuilt should be awesome when its done.

@ashleyross3642 4 years ago

It’s the little details like the brackets on the dinghy to hold the panels that show the level of thought you guys are putting in to this project. Well done! And nice to see Mason back on camera. 😀

@chiplane3976 4 years ago

I have been watching you guys from the beginning and this project just fascinates me. It reminds me of the old saying "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!". Your family and friends are amazing, fun, generous and very hard working people - so nice to see the community and support that have grown up around you. Just goes to show how good everyday folks can be! Keep up the GREAT work!

The rebuild alone is great , but the logistics is an amazing feat .

@kennethhough3251 4 years ago

That new outboard made it sweet. Handles well with the weight of all you load on your tender. Looks fantastic guys!

@vancouver4sure 4 years ago

Each phase is exciting!

@Birdii1980 4 years ago

That was hard work for sure. Thank all the helpers for supporting!

Quite the hard working crew there Gemma & Simon , very positive and joyful group to be with I'm sure. Makes whatever the
job you are doing go that much faster and smoother. Sarinda is going to be a fine looking vessel.

Cute commercial for VPN. Many hands makes light work.

You'll have to get yourselves a wood burner on-board to help recycle that wood on cold days.

@joergmeyer4145 4 years ago

Thank you guys!!!!! YOU are an inspiration to me!!! I don't have a boat, but I own a vintage Motorhome, which needs a lot of loving care, and at the moment I am about to put a solar system on the roof in order to become power independent. Thanks for your resilience and determination to keep on going.
