I just stumbled on this video,my parents were the fist owners of Perihelion and I sailed to Bora Bora with them back in 1982 when I was a teenager. I have some fond memories sailing perihelion in her glory days. I have seen the boat at the rowing club whenever we cruise in there. I knew Evan was not well but you sound like the perfect match for her new owners!
Another vote for "ment to be"
Love to have this boat for free. Is he serious about it. Take a while to fix it up.
No they are not. Very very not.
Id like to Free myself from any further obligation. The movie quotes were dope.
Is that boat a Cherubini?
That would probably be the prettiest boat I have ever seen.
You may have heard this already but I have to say it. "Rebuilding a boat is like building a brand new one with the old one in the way" What an adventure I am in, my name is also Barry.
Difference? You have all the templates. Next to no mulling over how much materials or what shape you need. No time spent writing the blueprint, and usually you have the most expensive bits intact. Now if you go Tally Ho's route... yeah its a total rebuild. Here they need pretty much only replace the decking and 95%of all problems are fixed. Pretty good deal for a free boat.
One of my friends recently bought a huge old farmhouse. It cost a fortune to rebuild! Afterwards he said it would have actually been cheaper to demolish the house and build a new one on the land. But, I don't like new houses (or anything new really) so I can see it was worth going through all the agro to end up with something special and unique and have it exactly the way you want it. :0)
Ok lets state the obvious.......you two are INSANE! And I LOVE IT!!!! Cant wait to see the rest of this adventure!
I am crazy excited to have discovered your channel at the beginning of this adventure. To me, the restoration and refit by someone who knows what is needed and knows how to do it and works hard to do it right, is my favorite kind of channel to watch. The only thing I ask, is that you pause your work often enough to post videos of your work and progress frequently so that some of us can live vicariously through you. Thanks!
Only take her out of the water for a bottom job and other Essentials. Keep her in the water and sail ready most of the time. Use and enjoy her as you restore her. Too many of these boats get disassembled and never go back together again. Of course Tallyho is a wonderful channel an example of what is possible, but there's so many clever ways to bring this boat back little by little. Ship Happens is another great channel.
I get it. I bought a 100 year 60' Dutch sailing barge with holes in the bottom. No regrets. Greatest adventure of my life! You guys have the right attitude. Have fun
Iâd love a Dutch barge
@@garythmoxey2719 I loved mine. Ended up without it after the divorce. Miss the barge not the ex
Can't believe you got a Formosa for free. What a gem!!
Looking forward to seeing her getting repaired. Well done guys.
I knew romance was alive somewhere, and here it is. I wish them all the luck to continue as they are. Just great.
As the owners of a 1979 Formosa 51 aft cockpit ketch, we gotta say - you go, guys! We refit her in 2007-08, and are refitting her again - 24V bow thruster, new batteries, some deck re-coring and teak trim replacement. Drop me a line if you have any questions.
Wow, look how honest he was and how well he knew his boat and what she needed. That's the type of person you always want to buy a boat from, not the guy that tells you it's in perfect condition and as you walk around you notice all these things that need fixing that the owner doesn't. Great job finding an awesome project boat with a lot of character that will really shine as you work ur way through the refit. đ
I second this comment

Formosa 51, a great Bill Garden design. I hope Perehelion gets to shine again. Pretty boats, like pretty women, tend to soften the brains of otherwise level headed sailors. I hope Captain Barryâs skill set is enough to see him through this rebuild.
Its rare but sometimes CZcams recommends some gems and this video is one of them. You guys are some interesting characters too put it mildly, definitely look forward to see the rest your adventures.
I just subscribed. cant wait to go on their adventure.
Of course your insane. Having lived and refitted a boat many times over 20 years but there is nothing like it. The sense of achievement is indescribable. Best of luck guys.
Congratulations on your boat! From experience comes wisdom... I will never leave the dock again on an old boat, I just bought, without having a professional clean the gas/diesel tanksđ
She smokes well when she is running out of fuel. I NEVER had problems with water in the fuel. And yes, she will dock just like that!! Good luck guys. So pleased you have her.
Evan! Happy to hear from you! Excited to show you our progress soon! Sheâs lovely and will live a full new life again soon. Thank you sir!
Looks like a Vagabond. Hey to all interested, nobody runs a long inactive boat on the old fuel in the tanks bc it has water from condensation collected as you found. You must flush and scrub the tanks and use only fresh, clean fuel from a new tank if you want to keep going. Im here in my boat with two 60 gallon tanks I filled twenty years ago and who knows how much algae and crap is in that fuel. It needs fully filtered before use and I use only from a new 12 gallon tank just installed. Glad this boat found a great new life!
You two have the most important thing needed to take on this job , youth. Good luck.
Iâve just bought 3 old classic vintage boats, oldest built in 1913 and the youngest in the 60âs. Iâve my eye on a few more with a short/long term dream of a parade of sail/maritime museum/community rejstoration boatyard/sail training school/Matitime industry promotion which will be crewed by voluntary labour and supported by lovers of all things marine, craftsmanship, people power and a shared love of and dedication to all fellow humans! I am confident that this is a good project because there are lots of people out there that just love all things marine, boats and community spirit. I feel positive about the boats and hopefully positively confident in the peopleâs sharing of the dream! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
Best wishes to this brave and hopefully seaworthy project. You will love the voyage of discovery ahead! These types of projects are fantastic not just because they evolve around beautiful boats and craftsmanship but also because they are about recycle, repair, reuse and the appreciation of the worldâs limited supply of precious resources and human skill and artistic endeavour that created these things of beauty and also planet friendly modes of travel and exploration! Sailboats are one of if not the only things that man creates that actually improve and compliments the appearance of our seas and planet! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland
Finally a sailing channel with some real people! Keep it up! Great first video very well thought out.
Try Sam Holmes
As someone who has given away a beloved "yacht" myself, I understand the desire to get into this project boat. I also am realistic. This boat will need not just a lot of elbow grease, not just a lot of hard cold cash. It will need someone who is realistically enamored by the beast itself but knows what questions to ask, how to proceed, and keep up the drive and ambition it will clearly need to bring this beauty back to her true heartbeat. Never give up! I wish youse guys the best!!
I'm so glad to get in on the ground floor of this project. Capt Ron is my favorite movie and I fell in love with the Formosa in that movie, It's great that you found that boat and it found you! I'm looking forward to your progress!
You two are naturals. Iâve never seen such natural born sailors.
Lmfao
Amazing! I would have had a hard time keeping myself from saying âIâll TAKE IT!â As I first saw it walking down the dock! Yea she needs work but sheâs a jewel! Work can be big but work can be done! Wish I was closer to give you a hand! Good luck and cheering you on from my own restoration projects! What a great boat!
Scammers make CZcams go.
My goodness, what a grand old Lady. Please, please, please document the restoration! What's that old saying? Nothing is more expensive than a free boat lol. Couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough!
Me and my boyfriend reckored this back in 1998 and still have all the photos of us inside if you would like to see! Amazing to see it again and that it will be well loved
Seeing the aft cabin makes me think it would feel like you are stepping back in time, imagining all the incredible places Evan visited while living aboard. Definitely looking forward to more videos.
What a cool piece of history.
Thanks for sharing!
Ok you 2 are pretty fun people and I hope to see much much more of this boat. The old leaky tikis are just amazing boats. Stunning when they're done up. Keep the vids coming.
Congrats on becoming proud owners of what looks like a diamond in the rough! Looking forward to your upcoming (weekly?) videos! Good luck guys, and salutations from the UK.
I am so excited to see this development. What a great story and I enjoy how your showing it. Thanks for the ride.
We looked at Perihelion in April '22. Could see it needed lots of work, we didn't have the skills or the friends that you have. I bow to your superiority and wish you fair winds.
just found this after it poped up after watching the sailing brothers. im hooked
On the tour when you walked into the aft cabin I smiled and thought âOoooh thatâs itâŠgame over.â Too romantic. Good luck and best wishes.
That boat is cool as hell
Sheâs an absolute beauty! Lots of work ahead, but itâll be well worth it. Looking forward to seeing more!
You guys are great, can't wait to see more
Sounds like the beginning of an incredible adventure. The production company of Captain Ron actually bought 3 Formosa 51's. One was a wreck, another housed the film crew and the third was the one most of the scenes were shot in. Also, CZcams "Sailing Miss Lone Star" refurbed a Formosa 51
Wow, can't wait until the work starts, what a project, what a beautiful boat! Good luck!
looks like a great project, it will be a beauty when done. good to see earl on your boat he gave me a hand with my engine install this summer, very nice guy.
I'm inspired. Now I have to go and watch "Captain Ron". Haven't seen it in years. đ»
I watched it last night!
Formosa built some beautiful boats.. they have that old pirate ship look and feel..the interiors with their carved doors and arched doorways is a thing of beauty.. I love these old boats..hopefully someday I'll have one
I never see what is, just what could be. My heart says: Take this boat, & love it, and don't look back!
Being she's a glass hull, I'd strip the top side back to the joists, sheet it and glass the deck. Then if you want the teck deck look overlay the hardwood on top. But you got a ways to go before figuring out that stuff. Good looking vessel Barry.
OMG !! What chemistry đ. Ive watched 14 minutes and am I going to SO enjoy this. Thanks for sharing đ€đ€đ€
Love it! Engine purrs (with decent fuel) and the sails work- everything else is incidental. You guys will do great with this boat!
Saaweeeeeeeet! She fell into good hands. Do her proud guys. Looking forward to her remakeâŁâ€đșâ€
You're not nuts it's a beautiful boat. I just got done rebuilding a 1985 Mako with a two-foot hole in the bottom and both stringers we're broken. I've never ever worked on a boat before I work on cars and I know how to work with fiberglass. I did all the repairs fiberglass wiring new stringers and put in some bulkheads. It is a Mako 224 hand-laid glass. I rebuilt the ox66 Yamaha outboard 250 horsepower. We use it every year going down to Florida for lobster season we scuba off the boat. Good luck I will be watching
Really enjoyed coming alongâŠyou guys have the most important ingredientâŠ.a good attitude and humorâŠ.great boatâŠlots of fun, frustration and accomplishment ahead âŠsteady as she goesâŠstay safeâŠ
Yep I dig the show
Captain Ron lives .can't wait for your next episode
That's hilarious Barry!!! I said at the same time when I saw that aft cabin itwas the seal of approval!!!!
Iâm đŻ invested from the get go!âŠGET IT GUYS! Gorgeous boat with bags of potential ya gotta do this âŠLetâs Go!!!!
Beautiful boat. Huge job restoring her. Can't wait to see you guys bring her back to life
It's obvious why you both fell in love with this gem. I'd do necessary repairs but leave the survivor look 100% intact. She's a queen. What score!
Just had this appear in my suggestion box.
Subbed immediately!
Two ordinary people one amazing boat and two to three years of a story to watch form the start.
This has the potential to keep me engaged for a while to come.
You need a lot of skills and even more friends for a project like this.
Looking forward to the next few vids, I might even become a patron let's see !
Formosa 51's are gorgeous boats very lucky guys
Talk about a blessing, congratulations on what will be an even more beautiful vessel when you bring her back to her glory days.
Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
Best old boat advice I ever got:
"Keep going"
Also, ozone generator + dehumidifier to fumigate the inside / kill all the mold
You guys make Captain Ron look like a genius! Just kidding all the best!
He is a genius!
oh wow what a find, cograts thats just how i felt when i brought my boat with 2 feet of very dirty water inside
Fun! I can't wait to see what you do with her. She's a beautiful vessel.
This is so inspiring and incredibly well done!! Amazing :) So happy for you guys and thanks for sharing the ride with us. I sure miss sailing Providence with you Barry!
Come sail perihelion with us!!
@@SailorBarry I will :D
Wow, what an opportunity. Good luck guys!!!!
I hope this blows up. You guys are hilarious and you rock!
Fun to see a local restoration, good luck guysđ
Good find and good luck. I think you two will be just fine and I think you know what your in for over the next couple of years but she will be a great vessel. May the spirit of Captain Ron be with you. đ đ
I love that boat , can't wait to see more !
Awesome! Go for it! What a fit for your life! I'll be watching!
I've just bought Captain Ron from watching your video... The docking scene reminds me of parking a Oceanis 38 against the wall, just under Banana Wharf in Hamble marina to an observers comment "Well that was bloody impressive" ;)
Thanks for sharing. I think you guys are as mad as a box of frogsđ. As you already know boats never stop yielding surprises. I'm sure you won't be put off, it's a lovely boat and so kind of the owner to give it to you.
I'll keep a look out for updates on the boat.
I'm in the UK and just found your channel. A great couple it looks like you are, love her humour. Expect many more cuts and bruises doing the boat up, and free or bought boats always offers teething troubles for the new owners
Thanks for sharing the beginning of your new project! I'm up on the sunshine coast BC. Excited to see updates. Best of luck with this!
Wow serious score!! We would take that boat in half a heartbeat. Just found your channel but we will be following this story. Congratulations đ
Wow!!! Awesome journey in the making, I'm looking forward to where you go, much successđđœ
What a find! Thatâs a great boat and really not to bad of shape, hey engine runs. Thatâs a good start. Looks like a great project. Fair sailing
Great first video folks! I believe you guys can make something special with this series.
Good luck from all us at the VRC who knew Evan for years !!!! SV KiltLifter! VRC
Those were the days, WHEN. Love the older boats. Enjoy.
I miss my boat! Just because I watch Tally Ho I am now getting swamped with all of this wonderful life. My Wife and I both miss boatlife. Wish you guys the best. I will be waiting with baited breath. If i was healthy I would love to come help. But if i can help from a distance i will. I can weld anything to anything, literally, you should see my finger.
IN A HEARTBEAT MY FAVOURITE BOAT YOU ARE VERY LUCKY LEARN AS YOU GO GRAHAM FROM AUSTRALIA IM KEEN
yes, yes & yesâŠ.. good luck & best wishes !!
Courageous and crazy, ......but oh so fantastic. From Australia.
Well done you two. All the best to you. I watched many young couples renovating/rebuilding old boats and know you can do this. You will run inte problems and sometimes you will want to give up BUT that is when you just take a small break and then get on with it again.đ
Welcome to YT guys. Great opportunity. Iâd consider a boat like this too. Iâm 2-3 years away from taking a few years off and need to a project boat like this to restore and make my own for the circumnavigation. Good luck guys, look forward to seeing the journey.
Will enjoy the ride from out on the snowy plains. This is great to see reuse, recycle,& keep sailing. Let the oceans be.
Epic match. Perfect boat. Cape Horn. And Expedition Evans was crazy; you no. Fair winds! Congratulations. Subscribed
Stunning vessel. Iâm very excited for you đ
I was following you down the rabbit hole as you toured her. Beautiful- good luck đ I hope you are successful in your restoration
Watched the first 5 mins of this and immediately subscribed! You guys are living my dream! so excited to see what you guys accomplish and ill be right here cheering, watching ever minute!! Hope to one day to pursue my dreams too! Thanks for the awesome content!
It will be a joy to watch your insanity progress. Thank you for sharing.
Oo Boy oo Boy! Congrats!?!?!
Can't wait to see the her all fixed up. And from what I can see is she Needs a Ton of work. But those Boats once fixed are just fantastic Boats. So Good luck and I will be here on my lanai waiting for the next video.
So until next time. Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
This is so awsome !!
Hey, I think you are exactly the right people to tackle this project. I wish you luck and will stay so see how you're doing. Glad to have found you day 1. :)
I've been stuck at the exact same place! The entrance to the river is a big part of the reason I moor in Pont Roberts now! Your lucky no barges were screaming down there!
"Boat" is not a word,it's an acronym! for "Break out another Thousand!"
Wow. You guys are insane to do this. Subscribed!! This will be a beautiful sailing vessel with so much history and so many stories !!!!
you guys are awesome were looking forward in your future adventures!
Congratulations on your new boat. It is often said that the two happiest days of your life is the first day you take your new boat and the day you sell it. We have a new liveaboard that we have put lots of blood, sweat and beers into. Looking forward to your adventures and ours.

The vessel has beautiful wood work that just needs to be sanded down and pure tung oil to restore. Only replace what's necessary đ
Wow, I'm really happy for you both and so excited to follow this adventure!
I LOVE the movie Captain Ron, it doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I always laugh my ass off!
an adventure is afoot . how exciting
