- After having the deck rip off the bow, Colin posts on Facebook to warn other lagoon owners of what happened, and a few trolls come out of the woodwork which leaves Colin frustrated as he goes on a rant...
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. We found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are now sailing across the Pacific Ocean!!

Don’t let the trolls get to you Colin. Keep doing what you are doing….helping catamaran owners be prepared and helping people in general!
You’d think they would all want to know…
@@ParlayRevival You should really ignore that handful of idiots. You are showing how crappy these Lagoon cats are built. Hope they learn from this the hard way. What's your opinion on the way Island Spirit constructs their cats, they completely exclude balsa and only use high density foam as core material.
@@ParlayRevival Don"t let these couch surfers, keyboard warriors idiots infect the MAN you ARE.
You're on higher level 💯 👌 👏 just laugh at them🤣 They are sad looosers. That's the highlight of their sad miserable life.
@@ParlayRevival I'm sure that there are sellers that aren't happy with your videos just like when you exposed the problems with the bulkheads. How many Euros did Lagoon saved? What else did they do or not do??? Do your thing and stay true to yourself...that is what matter!
People without knowledge compensate with attitude. Colin is doing the right thing. Simultaneously, there’s no reason to bash on Lagoon any more than the other production boat builders. They all make shortcuts and they all pick cheaper materials. Parlay has racked up a lot of offshore miles. That will show the weaknesses. Pick any other standard production cruising boat, of “average price level”, and you’ll see similar things happening. The price point matters more than durability.
As for balsa, it has some really nice properties, but I’d only use it with vacuum moulding, preferably injection, which seals it up and fills voids. Wood on a boat will get wet, sooner or later. Then it rots. Why have it? Wooden bulkheads are also problems waiting to happen. On our cat, there are no wooden structural elements. All is foam cored fiberglass. Also zero innerliner. I can easily get to every nook and cranny for inspection or repair. Our cat is also reasonably light (40 foot, about 5 tonnes empty and 7 tonnes including all liveaboard stuff) and can take a serious beating, but it’s not a standard production boat.
That’s the crux. The customers are telling the builders what they should build: Maximum comfort and bling for minimum cash. The majority of customers are marina queens, so that works just fine. The boats that get serious use will challenge that envelope and break. The builders have plenty of skills and knowledge to build way better boats, but the customers just don’t want that. Then they have lost their rights to complain. If we buy a closet at IKEA, we know it’s very cheap and probably not very robust, but it’s great value and just what we wanted. If you complain, you’re an idiot.
This is where Colin comes in as an extremely useful help for the boat customers who go further. He’s frustrated sometimes, of course, but he doesn’t whine. He just figures out what needs to be done and then just gets that done. No matter how much suffering it contains. In the meantime his boat is getting better every day. That’s the only right attitude. So, are the various boats on the market well built? Most of them: Hell no! Were they better 50 years ago? Absolutely not! Have a look at the criminally poorly built Pierson that Sailing Uma has. Does that deserve condemnation? Yes, certainly! However, put the blame where it belongs: The customers!
As for credentials, I’ve been sailing for over 50 years, some of it on professional racing multihulls, designed and built some boats and live on a cat too.
Forget the trolls Colin, for every troll there are 100's of decent people who appreciate you/Jamie and your tips.
Not so sure, 70% of all people are narcisists according to Psychologists.
Absolutely. Seeing you Dave Lee and Expedition Evans fixing the inexcusable Benetau Group/Lagoon mistakes, turning them into good boats has helped not only people with the problems that were being swept under the carpet but making us sailors better informed. When I was looking at the Hunter I bought, I wanted to avoid a wood core (knowing I'd pay more for a newer boat) and how everything was connected. When I inspected the bilges I looked to see how the frame was attached to the hull. Solidly glass gussets everywhere. I checked what I could of the bulkheads, and looked at the 'furniture' for any signs anything was moving. Solid. And last year when I sailed 7500 nM on a Seawind 1260, because of what I learned watching you guys, I inspected every mm of that boat before we left Vietnam and regularly across the Pacific. I spotted a slight misalignment in the doors... And then saw there was some clothing stuck in it. All good. The Parlay crew, Dave Lee the Panama boat yard guys! and the Evans have educated all of us and raised the standards.
Thanks mate, really appreciate that!
Yup. Even Jesus had haters.
This episode just proves how life works. No matter how hard you try and stay fit somebody shows up out of no-where with some cookies!
lol comment of the year
😂😂
I 🤩 this 😍
Listen I’ve been sailing for 38 years and I still learn something from you every video. The sailing community is the best because we all help eachother no matter what.
The sailing community really is the best 🙌🏼
I rarely leave comments anymore on Facebook, can’t deal with the trolls too. Never change, Colin - stay your thoughtful, caring, authentic self .
I can only agree on Shoni's comment , stay true to yourself , you are one of a kind .I love you , your crew and the PARLAY series
Thanks Shoni
Omg I stopped looking at FB years ago, it's the worst of people!
@@katyvansteenhoven220It gave losers a voice
Don't worry about what anyone says. Because you and Jamie is so inspiring to everyone all over the world.
Appreciate that Craig 🙏🏼
Never change yourself because of Trolls😡 You are an incredibly honest human and sadly that is rare these days. People don’t know how to handle it and they become mean, which is so opposite of what you’d expect. Also they are jealous of y’all’s ability to fix problems and continue on. Forever ParlayRevival. Hugs to you and the Crew🤗
Thanks Kiki! 🙏🏼
@parlayrevival Facebook trolls are all idiots that wish they were doing the kind of amazing that you are. Keep at it and block the bastards.
If I had a lagoon like yours, and I saw your post, I would be inspecting the bows on my boat!
You took a lot of heat for alerting other Lagoon owners about the bulkheads too. But you were right about the issue, and a lot of them had cracked or broken bulkheads.
i saw the bulkheads; the ply was way too thin and not adequately glassed onto the sides either. for the main bulkhead that supports the mast they should have laminated three pieces of that ply where they had just one.
Your ability to manage that level of repair under way is impressive. Glad it’s manageable and you can continue the adventures without too much disruption. Party on Parlay fam!
Thank you!
Well he is certified CHENG on super yachts.✌️
"This is not the side of the boat that sank before anyone says that shit!"
F the trolls! Thumb your nose at them, live the good life in the sun, while they shrivel in their shade.
Thanks for sharing. 🤟
Cheers 🤟🏼
So true 😊
To Colin and PR crew, I’m in same group and was upset to see the
Negative posts. Colin I can’t begin to tell you how much you’ve saved other 450 owners. We’ve flown our kite off same position and have stopped, until we can properly re-enforce that area. We’ve also had a port knock and your noise isolation methods were so helpful. We had replaced cone, but she still knocked. Because of you Colin, we’re pretty sure where the culprit lies and will haul out and inspect those gears. You’re amazing, sorry we missed you at last ABS, bit of rain there was. See you on the water some day. May God continue to bless and keep you sailing true and loving life with no regrets! ❤ from SV Searc Fin, Jim and Mimi
Very kind of you Jim. Hopefully we catch you at the next ABS!
If you have a broken gear on an SD50 you'd like to save, I have a trick to replace the vertical gear without removing or tearing down the saildrive. I have an FP but I'm in the lagoon group because we share a few things like masts and sliding doors etc. I'm not on FB every day, but should be able to connect without too much difficulty.
Hi, this is Fyn Alee, please don’t let negativity get you down because some people sadly don’t want anyone to be happy. You’re doing great and you have a lot of support from sailors you don’t even know. Personally I don’t know why people want to hurt other folks but that is life so rise above it and live your best life! ❤️
People want to hurt other people because they are more demonically possessed than an ordinary people and we have a lot of them on Earth today. The Nazis were demonically possessed and there was no internal force that could stop them. Only the Positive Health Radiation Paradigm shift can technologically and Sociologically heal the Earth in 60 days. And Jesus spoke: Water Fueled cars and Human decency Socialism and there will be Heaven on Earth. Included in that is the Dharma Divine Christ Quantum Shift, the Greatest Quantum Shift ever known in Human History for Humanities sake it is only a 60 day challenge. We can always go back to NHR Warring and polluting to extinction, but probably not. Namaste to those who choose DIVINE.
Thanks Patricia!
As you can see, Colin, we all experience negative people on social media, but there are more of us enjoying your travels and keep letting people know what you find and fix believe me your helping someone out there. Happy sailing parlay crew ❤️
Colin you are a good man, you keep doing what you're doing and ignore the fools.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CHOSEN ONE!!!
🙏🏼
My granddad used to tell stories of his days as a chief engineer on ships back in the day. As a kid I dreamt about sailing… You and parley revival revived my dream. Ignore the trolls, you inspire a lot of people!
Keep up the great work, Colin. The fact that you guys have been able to overcome Lagoon's poor build quality is amazing!
I’ve been following Colin since his days on the Perini Navi Parsifal 3 on the Below Deck Series Below Deck Sailing Yacht and he’s always been a true gentleman the whole way, I’m now addicted to his CZcams channel!😄
Lagoon just builds crappy boats,taking shortcuts to increase their profits!!! Keep posting Colin !! F the trolls !! they don’t know anything about sailing around the world!! Another great video!!
Fair winds⛵️
Great episode Britt! Brings back so many great memories! People go on vacations and take a few pictures and forget things after a while, but being on Parlay you get video memories that can be re lived forever. Thanks guys. Hope the haul out is going well.
Such great memories! 🙌🏼
Hey Cho, it was a joy to watch you living your best life on Parlay ❤
Hang in there Colin, dont let the B-Stards get you down.
Loving this Aotearoa series, its my motherland and I am one of the lucky ones that grew up sailing those beautiful waters.
Its so cool to relive a childhood through your travels - Big love to the whole Parlay Crew 💙💙💙
God doth not feedeth the trolls Colin. You are walking the walk. At the very worst, you are making YOUR boat a better boat.
Colin please don't let the trolls get u down. You're doing the best that I have ever seen. And your knowledge is invaluable. You rock with the ocean gods sir. Keep the faith with fair winds and calm seas sir.
Colin to hell with trolls....your channel is top notch all true all the time and so far beyond entertaining you all are a pleasure to watch...and watching from British Columbia Canada
Dear Colin: I am a critic, to some I look like a troll, to others I share helpful information. When you put out your information you are a troll against the manufacturer, just like the manufacturer will pay trolls to counter your information. In a way we are all trolls, send them love and thank them for showing up. If they had something valuable to say people will see it. Keep rocking it, you know you’re doing a great job
Most of the trolls don’t even have bath tub toys for boats, keep up the great content! The best thing about this channel is you show your struggles and mishaps. But that’s what makes this channel awesome
The trolls are just worried about their pocket - money rules the lives of so many broken people. It is sad but 99.99999% of the rest of us love and appreciate your approach. Fair winds and safe seas.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHOSEN ONE! Have you considered adding a wind turbine for another source of energy generation? I am not a sailor, no clue of pros or cons of it. Stay safe, and have some great sailing.
Oh, and forget the trolls. I bet a lot more owners are appreciative of the info. Look at how the broken bulkhead exposed a major safety issue.
Have you ever heard the noise they make?
@nickviner1225 a reason for asking the questions, gaining an understanding if it's use can be a positive or a negative
I remember the Canterbury, I served on her back in 86 when in Sydney a lot of unprinterble memories.... was in the RN on a world tour then.
From everything I have seen and heard you are a total gentleman in every circumstance always helpful. Never come down to a trolls level.
keep doing putting out the good neighbor information because there is always someone who listens! stay positive!
As in real life, dont feed the trolls...just ignore them ! Great video again. Especially under the water 🙂 You all take care, enjoy your travel and stay safe 💕💕
Facebook is a cesspool
I agree there are many haters and jealous people out there, but it was a little out of character for Colin to make condescending remarks about folks that only sail the BVI and 500 nm. Maybe that is all they have time for? I have mad respect for Colin and all that he does for both the sailing community and his incredible empathy and commitment to help others. Stay humble and dont waste your time with negative people.
Better to find a problem in safe harbour than in the southern ocean, it's a blessing.
Totally ignore trolls, any attention just feeds them.
L450F owner here - you are an inspiration. Let them talk. The community will sht on them for you. Don't even sweat it.
Happy birthday to the “ chosen one “
Yours has become my favourite sailing channel Colin, a realistic mix of real world life on the water with the joy of sailing and friends.
Thanks for watching Mike!
I have zero sailing experience apart from the Hull to Zeebrugger ferry!! but every week I look forward to seeing what antics you all end up doing. Your travel exploits inspire people to travel the World and that to me is a big thumbs up.
Thanks Paul!
Colin, you have from the beginning been a great resource for anyone sailing a Lagoon Catamaran 450 or similarly made boat. Social media will always have trolls, ignore them. 🤓🤘
The trolls are only the ones that bought a Lagoon and hope for a good resale value after they sit on it in Bahamas for two years and sail 150 miles total. F them! Do what you do. I was privileged to speak very briefly with you in Annapolis and as I told you then, I'll say it again. What you do, how you do it and what you show us amateurs who bought 20 yo boats and are fixing it ourselves on an extreme budget, your content is not only fun and inspiring, but it offers insight into what and when to look for, to avoid catastrophic failures.
Do what you do and pls pls pls, keep posting!
It would be great if you could do videos every week that is over 40 minutes each time. Thanks Colin and Jamie and the Crew
Follow your heart and your conscience ... forget the Trools. Keep up the great work Colin.
Great episode Brit. Love it! Don’t even worry about the trolls, they’re not worth it Colin. For those who matter, they appreciate your sharing of knowledge always. Kia kaha. Love you guys ❤️
Thanks Tasi! Looking forward to catching up with you and Adrian in the next few weeks 😊
Love Ollies black hoodie!! Hopefully one day Parlay will make it to our beautiful West Coast.
No worries brother! The folks that matter will always appreciate the valuable content you provide! Stay safe out there!
Colin, ignore the wankers.
Do what you do. It's why we all follow you.
😎
You guys are Great ! Find an issue and do the kind of repairs that make it better and stronger. Sharing the info is a huge service !
Glad to hear!
Lots of Memories on SV Parlay and I wish I could say I would love to see many more. What I really wish is Colin could find the boat of his dreams (?), one that will last a life time. God Bless Colin and his entire Crew, you guys are amazing!
You have helped so many people. Keep true to yourself. You are amazing my husband and I love your channel.
Good day Collin, this message is for you directly, my name is Andy, I have never sailed , I was drawn to your channel due to a lot of your mechanical abilities and the crew. I have been a mechanic all my life and before I got old I could practically fix anything and if it was something I never worked on I would learn how and the best way to do it right, well you are one of the best mechanics in the ability to figure something out and knowledge to repair, so with that being said you keep doing what you do best and tell the trolls to pee(piss) up a rope, blessings to you and the crew for continued safe sailing, signed Andy from Baltimore
Really appreciate that Andy!
Enjoying my morning coffee with my favorite CZcams channel : -). Can't wait to get my boat!!
Sailing, diving, boat repairs with a great people .That’s why you are the one of the best channels on YT. Happy birthday Chosen One !
I may be one of your oldest fans. From below deck to now! I.m 81 and entertained by your adventure. Keep it up and with my best wishes for you and prayers.
Ahhh , I look forward to these Sunday releases 🎉 , thank you so much for your great content, you and the Parley crew are awesome!!! Keep up the awesome content and adventures !!!
Colin, you're a top bloke. Keep up the great work. You have inspired me to get a sail boat and build memories with my family.
You are doing the right thing which will prevail in time. Others like myself can apply the learnings. Thank you.
Colin, you have character beyond reproach. If that isn’t evident by now nothing is. Thank you for the content and putting your life out there. I couldn’t do it but good on ya and thank you!
Thanks for all the awesome info, I look forward to your videos every week. Have a great week.
Don't get your head caught up with haters and trolls, you have important tasks ahead of you and giving notification to other owners is the right thing to do. Yikes to the water in the core but seeing how they attached the bow decking to the hull and how it separated, I was not surprised. Keep up the good work and plow on. John
Keep on keeping on Colin we appreciate all you’re doing . Cheers from SV Tico
everyone with a older lagoon knows exactly what you are talking about with the front bow problem, its just bad construction and planning....keep giving the Lagoon community the information they need as some people wont be aware of this....
Don’t worry about those Bozzo !
You are all doing so well and thank you for sharing with all of us your experiences !
Safe winds 😊
Love it. Just keep rolling, sorry sailing, and being you boo 😂
“The Sailing Brothers”, Adam and Luke, had to reconsider their NZ circumnavigation plans, too.
Colin, please do continue with your helpful, no nonsense advice, practical guidance and ignore the naysayers. I don’t sail any more , but enjoy so much the adventure with you and the crew. Thank you for bringing us along.
Appreciate your positivity, Keep on keeping on!👍
Colin, I watch your video-log adventures because I often learn from them. There are those who would corrupt your good intentions with their rude comments but, give them no heed. Just keep going. Thank you, again, for sharing your incredible life and those fortunate to travel with you.
I appreciate your help by sharing your experience. I truly enjoyed your ability to do trouble shooting. I do not own a boat (I hope that was right). I have enjoyed your CZcams. Even though I do not sail. I enjoy that you take time to share your trip with your friends. I enjoyed seeing Glenn on boat. I look forward to seeing more of your experience with sail and you trouble shooting a problem that may arise. Be safe and have for me. Ree
Great flog again Crew hope the repairs go well another lot of work for you but I know you can fixed it have a safe week
Happy Birthday Chosen One. What a Wonderful place to celerbrate. Kiaora.
Hey Colin, thank you for showing us so much of New Zealand!
The positivity, kindness and hard won knowledge you freely give to the world are a shining light and source of joy, for you and those you share it with. Don’t let the trolls dim your light and steal your joy! The only way to beat back the darkness is with light…thank you and the crew for bringing the LIGHT!
Hey Colin, you’re an amazing guy. I love the way you share your findings on the construction of your sailboat. The more information you have the better off you are. There’s more information out there so everybody’s better off. And this day and age knowledge is power and currency.
Wow it really never does end!!! The dreaded boat work!!!! You guys got this! Best of luck mates. You guys are awesome. Happy birthday Chosen One!
Love your dive segment. Be careful buying custom wetsuits. Had one custom made in 1993. Life got busy and didn't get to use it for ten years and it had SHRUNK😁
I saw the word trolls in the title and I immediately became annoyed. Why can’t people just be and let be? they must have unhappy lives if they feel like they need to criticize another. I love your channel and look forward to every Sunday making sure you have posted.
Keep up doing what you have been doing, don't change a thing on how you operate, I have learn so much on all your repairs and improvements. Great Job!!
Another great episode guys, keep up the awesome work!
And please ignore the trolls and haters. There is a reason why you have one of the most popular CZcams channels and others sit at home on their keyboards.
Next week looks exciting.!
Good on you Collin , for posting a maybe bow defect,, keep being honest and helpful. Good on you
Brotha your episodes r the high light ov my week don’t let anyone get use down I wish I could be sailing around the world loving life …..!
Ignore the Trolls mate...you are doing the right thing keeping people informed... I would much prefer to know my boats weaknesses before I set sail than to find out when I'm stuck somewhere without the resources to fix...
Hang in there Colin I’m learning so much from your videos. I plan on buying a boat someday and I can use all of the information as I can get. Rock On! Living my dream through you right now.
Forget about the trolls, they will always be there. I appreciate all your technical tips and any other tip you have for us that have not been where you have been. Perhaps the ones that appreciate your tips are not as vocal as the trolls, but don't think we are not there. I am amazed and impressed by your persistency and dedication to get the boat back alive again, where most of us would have simply walked away.
Keep it going and keep it coming, we appreciate it.
Appreciate what you do Colin, posting for others to learn from your experience. as Warren Buffet once put it; It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes.
Fair winds and following seas, may you always drop your anchor among friends,
Keep doing what you do to promote safe sailing ⛵️
It’s hard to not let negativity get to you. But they are few and we are many! Keep doing what you do and we’ll be with you.
Hi Colin, during my circumnavigation on my 2013 Lagoon450, I circumnavigated the NZ north island and made it across to Picton on the South Island. After much research and discussion with local sailors I decided to tour the South Island by campervan. You are accurately describing the harsh conditions around the South Island. The beatings I took on several occasions circumnavigating the north island was enough to teach me the limits of my boat and crew ( total of 2 including captain) . Watching you coping with the latest bow deck and saildrive failures I get the feeling that going around the South Island may be more than it can handle in spite of the amazing work you and Jamie have done and are doing. A small tip about changing saildrives and correcting the forward / reverse control. I found it easier to turn the gear lever on the saildrive 180 degrees and moving the shifting cable to the other side than making the change on the control station. Either way works as you have proven.
My 450 was a very tired girl by the time I completed my circumnavigation. Looking back, I now know she could not have handled the South Island and she was only three years old when I was in NZ. Just my 50 cents. All the best of success in whatever you decide going forward.
I've watched your posts for some time and enjoy them very much,
One thing I do know when you fix a problem it stays fixed so when you sort out the bow problem and the water ingress you won't get the problem ever again, I suppose you'd better check the opposite hull for the same problem,
Best wishes to all who sail on Parlay 👍👍👍
LMAO, “we are starting our 30 day challenge to get in shape”….cut to girl on paddle board…7:26 ❤😂. I wouldn’t waste my breath on the trolls and haters sitting on couches wishes for the life you live. I can only imagine how many people you have inspired..always keep that in mind. Cheers all🎉❤
Haters going to hate and they hate because they are jealous. Colin and crew thanks for sharing all your adventures with us, we are all better off learning from all your experiences... Be aafe and don't stop the videos. See you on the water some day!
Keep you rhead up Colin, Haters are gonna hate. You inspire us all and always do your best to put out great information to people that are willing to listen.
Colin, you're one of the best human beings that I know of! Arrogant people love to throw negativity/shade on anybody doing more or better than they themselves are. Ignore people whose opinions don't matter. There's not enough shade in the world to dim your light. Shine on brother.
Don’t bother with them, keep posting, it’s fun to watch, I have really bad motion sickness so it’s been so much fun watching you repair and sail your boat. Even if I don’t understand what you are talking about. You have incredible talents Colin.
Good work as always big thumbs up.
I'm a certified captain you are inspiration for me keep up the good work colin🇧🇸
As others have already said, forget the trolls! We appreciate your efforts (our 450s is still in a charter fleet) and we are learning so much from you!
Thank you guys foe a great channel
Keep doing what you do. Some people just suck. Not you, you are awesome.
Happy Birthday Stephen, the diving looked absolutely amazing!
It was!
Colin, you raise a valid issue and show the evidence clearly. If anyone feels they need to defend that shoddy build quality and not heed your cautionary tale, they kind of deserve whatever happens. Karma loves the idiots.
