ABANDONED SAILBOAT TRANSFORMATION:4+ Year PROJECT BOAT REFIT|E7|

Want to see our Abandoned Boat Transformation? This is how we transformed our once project sailboat over 4 1/2 years. This boat refit was more than what we imagined it to be. We knew we needed to get a project sailboat, in order to be able to afford it, one that we could make our own, and pay little by little as we go. We do many projects on our sailboat Alma during this time. We go into detail showing you where we got our project boat, how we got her, and what exactly we did to our once abandoned boat to make her sailable.
It took us a long time to fix our project boat, but it was very rewarding. Now our once project boat, sails like a dream...
This is a journey that we look forward to sharing with all of you!
-Yulian, Angela, Baby Aria, and Pup Sofia.

Magnificent. You can sail anywhere and nobody can say they have a nicer boat. Made my day.

[highlandervalasik]

Three months. To 4 1/2 years. What makes you both exceptional is the fact you DID NOT QUIT. I doft my hat to you for that.

[prex]

The best part, you truly know your boat.

[esdeekay]

As a Sailing lover, I watched this video with tears of happiness...
This forgotten beauty waited long enough to be loved again...
...Thank You...for saving her...

[felixcat]

This is exactly the type of YT video I respect and enjoy.

When you both knew that this yacht was right for you, the one of your dreams, you committed yourselves to making it so.

In appreciating the sheer beauty of the yacht, you've put your hearts and souls into her, together with every minute and every dollar you could spare.

With your love, care and dedication, you have given new life to your beautiful sailing home which now shines as a beacon, reflecting your absolute commitment to make her the best she could be.

I look forward to seeing your videography and appreciate you taking the time out to document your intensive restoration and refit. Subscribed!

"Pre-Alma was a disguised swan", any sailer would look right through the dirt, - mistreatment, - ect. A very well earned CONGRATULATION for well done job-s - "The swan is reborne" - what a beauty
Best wishes for - fair seas - and many years of travelling - from Denmark

I am at the same Fort Pierce boat yard doing my own refit (more than 4 years in my case). I was there when Alma came in and saw the progress you made. You should be very proud, she will give you many years of return on your hard efforts. It is great to see people take these old boats and labor through love to keep them around for the next generation.

Sailing was on the decline until so many young people were exposed to the idea via Youtube and the internet. I am so happy to see so many sweet young couples enjoy the first part of their lives together sailing to far off places for adventure. Old boats are being saved and given sweat and love and a new lease on life. Thank you for the tour. Job very well done. God bless.

A dream, sweat, sanding, and tenacity! Your boat is beautiful.

[johnanderson]

Absolutely Beautiful...nothing short of Stunning!!! I also like the way the boat turned

[astrid]

She is stunning! Great job! I usually don´t like the esthetics of hardtops like that, but you, ve managed to build that whitout messing up the lines of the boat. Respect

It’s nice to see a classic boat restored properly to as good, or better, than new condition. I wish more people would consider this before buying a newly built boat. These old boats can give great pleasure to a new generation of sailors.

[sandymacpherson]

Great Job! Sometimes you have to start out NOT knowing, or you wouldn't start, it would just be too overwhelming, but look at what you have achieved and all the useful skills you have learned. Not just a couple of dreamers who thought about it, you got started and refused to back down, even when stuff got "messy". Persistence, that's a great quality in anyone's skillset.

[wingding]

well done you have made her alive again

[Yoda]

One word, AMAZING! One of the best refits i've ever seen by a private couple. I would love a tour video.

[clutelmm]

Oh wow! I just found your Channel! I have a 1970 Ericson 41! I bought her last March. I had the, Walter V Drive rebuild right away, $1400. I going to watch your videos from the beginning, today, now!

[SailingUma]

Still remember the day Dan and I watched you come in to Riverside on that boat almost 4 years ago 😆it wasn't too long after we first splashed Uma. What a transformation! Alma looks amazing now! Excited to catch up somewhere out there ☺

[peterstorm]

I have restored a couple of sailboats myself and some of these projects were rather extensive, but not near what you have done. You have done a great job and got a fantastic result. Congratulations on the achievement!

[krumple]

She is a beauty. Thanks for sharing!!!

[jbuckley]

You should be proud of yourselves. She's a beauty.
