I just paused the video on my TV, went and got my computer, and came over to your channel just to be able to comment that you have THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD! It makes me get a tear in my eye at how loving, positive and helpful they are- please pass the message from me to them - BRAVO!
Lancashire folk.
Absolute units of supportive and loving parents you got there
@@patrickgreenough8428 they just earned their son a PayPal donation from me! Wonderful!
Thank you soo much Marcia🤗🤗🤗
They are looveleh ❤
To quote another popular youtuber, "Finally!" Congratulations on getting up on the hard where you can now really dive in and work. What a great boat! So glad you made this decision and i hope you are too. BTW, Mom and Dad are real troopers! So great to see them in your videos. I just get a kick out of your mom out there doing all she can to lend a hand and always so cheerful and supportive. You clearly have a great support system! Good luck on this next step.
love your parents bro.just beautiful how they hook in and help you all the time.
Your folks are amazing! As a father, it’s great seeing you all work together to accomplish your dream.
Congrats! I love your journey! Your parents are the best ever!
This is as much a story of your family as it is your boating life. Kudos to your parents for building such a strong family and capable son. 👍
Hi Mark, it's great to see the relief in your face knowing that your hull is in great condition.
The reason your hulls are in such good condition is because the water was so low that the holes sat in the mud and with the boat trying to move around the mud keeps anything from growing on it my brother's got a center console that has been on the dock for a couple years now and somehow there's nothing growing on the bottom because as low tide comes it settles in the mud and then high tide comes and it comes out of the mud so the boat moving around like that on the mud keep stuff from growing on it
Awww how brilliant to share that moment with mum and dad, wishing you all the best. I've got a feeling your going to be sharing stories with your new neighbour.
Mahi has finally landed on love island. She shall now get the love she deserves. Big respect to the support crew and your amazing Mom and Dad! Keep Going Bro!
So happy for you Mark, my eyes lit up when i saw how good the hull was, also could we get a Yoshi update too 😁
I thought Mark was going to build a doghouse but that yellow kennel that has recently appeared probably addresses your enquiry …
Yoshi is living with a mate in Wales ..he won't be coming back as he's a landlubber. All in all a great decision as Visa girl would have dumped Yoshi anywhere.
@@Kathikas1 A yellow kennel does not provide an update, i am simply asking how he is.
@@XXLaffinGravyXX I never asked if he was coming back i asked for and update, as in, how he is.
It's wonderful to see what loving and caring parents you have. That's a blessing you, man. I wish I had parents like yours.
Great name for your yacht, here in New Zealand in native Maori, "Mahi" means to work, do, perform,make,accomplish, practice, raise (money). My wife and I are really enjoying following you and your awesome parents.
Mark, first off you are an excellent human. I love your channel. I love your boat. I love your parents. If they are so inclined I would very much like to be adopted by them. I am 71 and probably a few years older than your mom and dad. That might be a little weird at first, but I could probably get used to it.
I’m a good helper too.
You have the best parents!
I am so happy that you found that boatyard! I just can’t wait to see Mahi transform into the excellent sailing cat that she is. So exciting to see her hulls. Great work a head.
Just send us the adoption papers Joe & we'll sign them!!🤗⛵️🤗,,PS - age is just a number!!!😂
@@artbymaryf7283 oh thank you Mary! I’ll get right on that straight away. But first but first I’d best talk it over with my people here.😊
Please pay particular attention to the weld on the bottom rudder fitting, my Pahi 31 rudder came adrift when the bobbin the the rudder shaft fits over came away from the skeg plate, no signs of corrosion on either part, the weld had just let go. Have fun with the refit, she looks a well built wharram 👍
On window caulking... Please, please, please buy the primer recommended by the caulking manufacturer and apply it as directed. THIS is a thing that professionals ALWAYS do, and DIY guys seldom (if ever) do. This step can make DECADES of difference in keeping the seals watertight. And CONGRATS on choosing a helluva fine old seaworthy Wharram. Well done!
Mark,,,I will never forget your reaction when the hulls had been power washed! Priceless!,,,& I'm beginning to think Mahi is Priceless too!! You're bringing her back to life beautifully x Soo freakin' proud Son,,,As always,,,Love Love Love You 🌻🌈 Momma🌈🌻
great to see her out of the water Mark, excited about whats ahead, the hard yakka begins
Your parents are extremely helpful.
You are truly blessed!
Flying mahi...so awesome,very happy for you........
Well done Mark looks like it's all coming together. Yosh has turned out to be a real diamond, he really is a great little character. He's so funny at times - we love him to bits.
Oh Joe,,,its so good to hear hes happy & loved ❤❤❤
Do the things you cant do on the water first, then go over ya list and do the things you can do on the water by necessity. Beauty of a boat!
I'm glad my predictions of sound hulls proved to be correct.
Why do you need through hulls below the waterline?
Congrats, Mark, delighted you are on track & happy.
Holland is such a great location!
If you reflect back to the Wharram in the jungle you were so determined to purchase........thank goodness you listened to those who casted severe doubts.
All good fortune to you. There are always unforeseen challenges, but you will make your own luck with your grit & determination.
If I was your age, I'd be doing what you're doing. I'm (a young..!) 73, but it's too late given my ongoing responsibilities, and you ONLY LIVE ONCE!
I’m a commercial electrician in the states, and on my work van, I keep a water pump, that attaches to the end of my drill, for siphoning water out. I mention that, just because I saw you and your Dad, using a hand pump. Just an idea for a cheap, portable alternative. Not to mention, the power source, a drill, it’s one of those tools you’ll always have w/ ya. I don’t use mine much, but when I do, I’m always reminded of why I put up with the pump getting in my way, the other 364 days a year. LoL
Congrats, btw, I’m glad everything exceeded your expectations below the waterline. I look forward to seeing where everything goes from here. BOL, and stay safe. 🇺🇸
Shout out to all youtubers who have helped and those who will in the future this Galante Young Man ... He will be hard pressed to complete this project in about three months ... I am looking forward to seeing him take this Refitted Sailing Ship around the World Cruise ... Being part of an adventure that will be so memorable to see in his Video Episodes ... thank you CZcams for being the Platform to make it happen ... I am an Old Armchair Retired Wantabe Sailor who gets to Live this Adventure from CZcams ...😊😊😊
Thanks Dad and Mom, couldn't have done it without you. Love you, and thanks again it was fun to have you here.
Your loving Son.
Hi Mark, so glad you feel like you are living your Dream !! Great news that the hulls are in such good shape confirming the construction methods were top notch. Your gamble (informed decision) has been proven to be spot on again when you scooped up this diamond in the rough. Can't wait to see all the fun projects ahead. From this end it feels like it will go quickly since you have have been careful with your money and you are attracting a lot of good helpers willing to provide time, tools and materials to your project. You are a winner Mark. So happy to see all of your success and so glad your parents are there to share the special moments with you.
I'll second that.
❤️🙏🏾👍🏾👏🏾
Sound problems finding it hard to hear what your saying love what your doing keep going love dicky from South shields UK just out side Newcastle
Made in Holland. Probably used bruinzeel plywood. And still afloat after 15 yrs.. then you know it can only be a top build !! Thats why the dutch are so arrogant! Haha..
Arrrh, Congratulations brother... Happy for ya 💙
I admire your "Can Do" attitude! Not much gets you down and I am glad for your sake that your fears were not realised!
I'll say it again - most inspirational build channel on CZcams!
In Holland everything is done for the pleasureboats. It is really a waterworld. Happy for you that your hulls are ok. Alain Brussels.
You might consider offering a sketch of what you intend to have your vessel look like. I think it would make your mission even more interesting.
good job. now the fun begins, and remember that if you're not having fun you are doing it wrong.
It's always good to have a spot to put your dingy . 😁
Now that I see it on the hard, I see you've got a beautiful hull to work with. Love that your mom and dad were right in the thick of it. Best wishes with the restoration.

It will be cool to see that old girl sailing. Your growth shows at each episode. Great job, dude!
Hulls look awesome, summer will make you and them shine! Keep it up strong! Bravo à vous tous
“I am literally living my dream” .. “I am so grateful” that right there is man of character. God bless you
Major Milestone achieved Mark!! Well done, congrats, now get stuck in!!👍👍🥳😄
If you haven't already, make sure you eat a Rice Table (Rijsttafel) while you are in Amsterdam. It's a Dutch version of an Indonesian dish and it's one of the best meals I've ever had.
When I first started watching your channel you seemed very much a wide eyed teenager. As I watch these last few videos I see you've grown into a fine young man. Keep going, kiddo.
Brilliant video!!! The boat is looking amazing! Love the way your mum and dad are beavering away in the background on virtually every shot. They are living the dream with you!
You made the most informed decision on the choice of your vessel and now that she is on the hard she has given you a gift of solid hulls 👏👏👏👏So happy that this has given you the mental boost that is always needed. Bravo to the transport to the marina and the haul out. Your parents are fantastic and it's wonderful to see how excited they are for you 🍾🥂☀🎉🎉Bravo⛵⚓
Don't forget to flush the lower units with fresh water in the engines to keep those new impellers and such nice and fresh. You don't want salt water in there evaporating and leaving a salty residue on the innards. Looking forward to seeing all of the yard work!
A lot of work to be able to splash in September. But I can definitely see the diamond hiding in the rough there.
Wow your going to get 100K I know it I feel it in my heart and soul ❤ been a subscriber 4 some time JUST HAVE TO SAY love ❤ your Mother & Father they are two amazing people 👍🏾👌🏾🙏🏾 all of your new friends are also amazing ❤👏🏾👏🏾 MARK YOU TOO ARE AMAZING❤ I also can't wait to see what you do with this boat No matter what you do I will be here to watch ❤️👍🏾👌🏾🙏🏾👏🏾
Hi Mark, great video and a great boat you have there. Everyone is different and everyone will have their own ideas. For me i would concentrate on the under water side, get the rig up and get everything else ready in the 3 months to get her able to sail. Take 2 to 3 months and sail her to Port St Louis where you were before and where the guys from Seabird are. Take her out there and spend the time needed to get her exactly as you want her to look both inside and outside. Even if it takes a year to complete. Your a young man and have the whole of your life to spend sailing the world, get your sailing fix this year and spend next year getting her ready for the big adventure.
Just my thoughts as we all think different. Good luck and we all will keep watching.👍
Thank you for broadcasting...I really needed cheering up today and you and your hulls have cut the mustard. I'd love to cut through some crap and come and help but that's not very realistic at the moment. I've no doubt that you'll make it though, you've got a will, a way and some awesome parents. Unstoppable.
Brilliant mark so pleased for you. Well done. Keep them comming. Always love the Friday night vids with you . 😉
HAPPY FATHERS DAY ...to your dad , i hope you dont work him too hard !!...and your mum ,shes great....love to you all..
Congratulations! As they say in Russia: "A good experience is not subject to degradation from alcohol." Homemade ships have the most soul. And you have a lovely mother.😊
Just love the fact that you are living your dream life at your age! Wish I had done that! Now I'm like your parents, supporting and telling my young son to do the same as you are & living your life's dream!!!! Kudos!!!!
Well, you may have been apprehensive, but your instincts were right! I can't believe the condition of the hulls after 15 years in the water.
Have you considered making “pods” of the inside face of each hull to mount the engine and avoid all that messy trussing in the middle? Would maybe give you a bit more differential thrust also
I had no idea how BIG the boat was until I saw it on the hard with people around for perspective!! I wish I could come and help you, but it's a long hike from Pennsylvania!! Good Luck!!
Wonderful to see the progress and to see her out of the water mark. And as I mentioned from the beginning of discovering you and possibly buying the cat You went forward and you are following your heart and turning out to be a great decision blessings to you and mum and dad..coming at you from Southern Oregon
My prediction of the condition of the hull below the waterline was spot on, thankfully. Congratulations on the move and haul out. Thanks Mum and Dad.
I have watched you since I first saw you on melody channel. I cannot explain it but I am so happy for you and I want to wish you everything you wish for yourself. Well done you, your family and your friends. :)
Scrolled the comments looking for a through-hull reference - not sure what they are for but I'd seriously recommend DITCHING them and sealing those hulls air-tight! Once you've got those bilges dry; KEEP them that way .. ....
Congrat's on the mega _PROGRESS_ !
I have three words for you. YES, YES and HALLELUJAH.
"I'm going to take my parents on a little ride up the canal".
Translated to "chill out whilst dad takes the helm".
Great to see how well things are going! Best Regards.
Congratulations and wishing you good fortune working on her in the yard. I hope you have your major milestones planned for her recovery and modernization. There is a lot to do but pace yourself in this quest so you don’t wear yourself and your friends out, but you’re still able to make her sea-worthy again. Good luck!! Cheers!
You looked so guilty when the cop came by but he saw your mom on the deck and said you were innocent.
Haha,,,I was waving away like a foolish old woman - they probably thought,,,,,"lets keep away from that one"!!!😂😂😂😂
Mark, your parents are amazing. Happy Father's Day!
Hi Mark , great news about the hulls. Great to see your parents again, they are a great help to you, very lucky👍👍
So happy and relieved to see that Mahi's hulls are in decent condition! You have a big mountain to climb in terms of tasks to do. Go full throttle and rest when in September. Kia kaha 💪💪
Keep at it Mark, you’re doing an amazing job. Just love your Mom & Dad (they’re Rock Stars - so supportive and so pleasant)
Don't get caught up in the party life.. important to keep busy under these imposing time restraints💫🏁
My mum and dad were boring farts, you are a lucky guy! love the content and all the best!
Yippy Mark your up on the Hard now you can be a busy Bee glad the Hulls are in good nick now for some much needed maintenance just take your time no rush
On the hard and drying out. 3 mths to haul out. Bottom up or top down. Jobs, tools, materials, help, rigging, masts, sails, port lights, navigation equipment, deck work areas, wiring and plumbing, helm station, enginge mounts, rudder, steering cables, help, tools, time.
Amazing percents!!! Lucky boy….
So glad to see the hulls are sound. I was holding my breath also.
Well done young man ;0)
Little victories, eh? Glad you made it without having to swim! Now for the cheap, fun stuff!😅😅😅
Phew! I was really scared that today would see the channel going "wildling works himself to death in the boatyard", but you hit the jackpot with this boat, congrats! Can't wait to follow the refit. Cheers
On the hard, now you can get some serious work done. I just knew she had good bones. I wanted you to get that Wharram in South America but this looks like a much better situation. Wait till you take a dingy ride through the city at night, it is amazing. Really happy for you mate.
Xlnt: so glad you’re finally on the hard. I think your tasks are many but I have faith in you, your family and friends and this community that they will get done and on September 15 you will have a sea worthy vessel and a new home. Good luck and looking forward to your posts.
The best news that the important parts of the hulls are in good shape! I'd be there there to help in a second if I didn't live 5500 miles away. Good luck!
If I were you I'd take further advantage of that powerful pressure washer and go over the entire boat inside and out.
Pleased for you Mark. That hull looks in good order. 3 Months is not long so I hope you get all the help you need to get her ready for the water again.
Hi Mark,
Good to see the condition of your catamaran under the waterline and it really looks not too bad at all. With not too much work you must be able to let both hulls look like brand new. You’re now in a complete different location as you have shown in a previous vlog with De Bruyn Watersport Service BV. I know the boat yard where you’re for now but for privacy protection I won’t mention this. Wish you lots of success to let Mahi looking great again
Congrats on getting on the hard and finding out the hulls are in good shape. You still have a ton of work and a short time to do it your parents won't be here for most of that.
You certainly have good reason to be grateful. Few handmade vessels setting for that long would have escaped the ravages of time and the elements. Solid hulls and new through hulls will give you a good peace of mind. Unusual vessel, but you've been wanting one. You've certainly got one and I'm interested in seeing what you will do with it.
Love it! I've followed your journey since you got Mahi, I questioned the dinghy rig set up you guys used and was blown away how effective that turned out to be! I'm tempted now to put my mirror's foresail onto my big boat and see what happens :P Can't wait to see the coming videos man :)
Knew you could do it, lovely seeing Mum and Dad. Excellent.
How wonderful it is that your mom and dad showed up to help.
Free Energy...you could put a huge canopy roof full of solar. Live at anchor in the south Pacific 🏖️⛵🌊 😎 just add a water maker 🙏
So awesome that your Mom and Dad were there for your move. They are true sailors. Your Dad flying around the deck, doing everything he can. Great project.
Your mum and Dad are amazing. Good luck doing the work.
You can always judge how popular a channel is by the likes. The fact such a small channel has nearly a thousand in the first half hour speaks volumes.
I hope you get a lot of help that is a lot of work to do in 3 months wish I had the time to come and help but you have your dad and he is such a good guy to have around .
Nice one Mark, truly living the dream. I fancy a summer in that marina opposite centraal station.. so much fun to be had in the dam with a dinghy!
As soon as I saw that hull exposed I just had this picture in my head of Mahi sailing through clear Pacific waters! I see great things ahead!
From the looks of your first sail I'd say Mahi chose you. She's been getting ready for you 12 years. This is going to be exciting!
I guessed right about the hulls and I’m sure glad they were Mark , well done to you and all your helpers , soon be September trust me you’ll wonder where the time went , and doesn’t the boat look enormous out of the water. Time to get cracking there’s work yo be done , good luck , GL
You have the best parents in the world.
and you bought a good boat! so happy for you. and good weather to come as well.
It's wonderful to see everything going in your favor. I know the past year has been a bit rough on you but it seems like things are turning around. That's because of your vision, determination and your support system (your amazing parents and new friends). Good for you!!
Soo true Hugh x
Great persistence towards your sailing goals. Greetings from

Awesome Mark. So glad Mahi isn't a pup. You look ecstatic. Good for you.
YOUR MOM IS A TRUE SAILOR!
