so much hard work went into this one but i’m so happy with what we did. what should we add (if anything)?
Personally I would've gone with an led strip for the lighting because they're adjustable & very easy to hide, but that's just me.
@@BedjamRivera agree to disagree. LED strips would mean I can’t change them out, and when I do want to take them off they would take the expensive paint off with them due to the glue/adhesive on the back. I think the LED’s are more of the younger crowds thing and yes i’m younger then most, but I don’t find LEDs appealing. it’s hard to make them look “nice” and that paint was not cheap.. not trying to ruin it!
Hey Becca, looks good. Have you thought about putting your feet at the bow and have way more headroom and space to roll about.
@@Brit_explorer oh yes, i’m trying that next time I take her out, but for aesthetic reasons, i put the pillows like that!
How about making a screen for the entrance area so you could sleep in there without worry of getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Only other idea would be a small fan for airflow! Looks great though what you have done.
One quick note, love it, looks great, 1 major thing you should add is some sort of cushion in the ceiling where the screws are so you don't crack yourself open, thank you for the video today, I had to run and get my phone because on a dark night when sleeping you might get really hurt bumping your head on those things, I think even shipping peanuts might work or some idea like that. I lived in your neighborhood I fished edgewater my whole childhood. Figured I'd share what I thought. Thank you Becca!
A solar panel and car battery to run your lights and charge your tech is a good idea. Use the side storage gunnels for oars, fishing poles, a long push pole and they have all sorts of rod holder accessories to hand over the side. To hold a grill, flood light, even an over the side toilet seat. A string of green lights to light up the water and attract fish at night. Also. Buy large sheets of Flex tape and a few spray cans or quart of flex seal. For emergencies. You can slap a 12 by 12 inch piece of flex tape on the outside of the hull really quick to cover a hole. Then spray inside of hull to make sure.
And a hook ladder to get back in if you fall off.
Railings to clip a safety rope to when your to far from land to swim if you fall off. They can be very short. 2 inches high off the rim on both side. Or one down the middle for a craft that small. I love your sailboat. I’d love to own it! I was born in ‘73. I’d add an electric out board on back , with a Tesla car battery if I went solar. Perfect for windless days.
I am a new subscriber and love your videos! I bought a Cape Dory Typhoon 19 and restored my sailboat too! I painted the ceiling with sundown buff 1 part polyurethane by Interlux. I varnished with Epifanes. I am in Rhode Island as well and I hope to see you on the bay! Girl sailors! yay!
Loving the boat. I think picking white was a great choice. I think that green flimsy paint deal is a liner for metal ones where you just sit it in the metal one and when your done just throw it away so you don't have a bunch of cleaning.
Looks great. Would love to see the lights on. And for the pointy parts that you hit your head on what about a vinyl padded patch. A fish or star. Small but big enough to cover screws.
What a roller coaster. I really enjoyed the discovery of Joanne's Fabrics. You married a woman who's name definitely lends itself well to a boat name, and I totally watched her pick out your eye boogers with her bare hands. That kind of love is hard to find. My suggestion is to start switching out the lighting with LED replacements. The wiring shouldn't be too complicated and they are so much more energy efficient for your off grid lifestyle.
Great job. I love the bluegill tank!!!
On the overhead bolts maybe take a small PC of dense foam cut into a circle and glue it over the bolts. The original cushion material might be dense enough and kind of recess where the bolts are on the cushion so it lays flat. Then just paint them white. Nothing like bolt groves in your skull. Boat looks great.
Your doing a wonderful job. I love it. I have an idea I think would be good. The top that you slide open, I was thinking put some snaps across the front of it as if your laying inside the boat. Then put some kinda fabric or screen with snaps, so when your inside it gives you some privacy and some air n protection from bugs. With the snaps it will allow you to put it up n take it down. Awesome work once again. 🌝👍
Becca, so AMAZING
YOU ARE SO AWESOME , I just love what you did
I’d wrap the main cushion with some cheap fabric or vinyl so that I could lift or remove it more easily when need be. All that storage under it is great. There’s so many ways to incorporate a table but I think making use of the white divider piece at the center would be the best way. Maybe something that can sit on top of it somehow. You did a great job. Also when you were cleaning the boat I just wanted to hand you Mr clean magic eraser, those things are the best.
Oooh ouch. I felt that head knock from the other side of the Atlantic!
Great job. I've just bought a 40 yo 22 foot sailboat. The layout's completely different but you've given me some great ideas!
For the entrance to the cabin where the wood planks go you should build a bug net that slides in so it’s not always either completely closed off or completely open especially nice for those warmer nights
Great idea. :P
Yes you actually can return an item to Walmart even after you ripped the package open! Just make sure you keep your receipts!
Fantastic job girl. Can't wait to see what you do for your table. But before you go any further please take care of the bolt ends on ceiling. Keep it up.
do a table that turns the side benches into a bed so can sleep more people.. oh and build a cook area in from left corner by door in case of rain. Like a corner area or a floating flip down shelf so you can fold flat against the wall when not in use or use for a lap top or tv at night... you need a multi use cook area for sure...
Boats looking amazing Becca ya need to cover those bolts on the ceiling soon before ya hurt yourself , can't wait to see ya out on the water with it again you sky and Lyla are going to have so much fun
For the command strips the Velcro ones always stay up way better that the regular sticky ones
looks great for a table take a piece of plywood and put two 2×4 edgeways so you can slide over the board on the boat so can have a table that u can remove it
Loved this one it is one of my favorite videos and the cabin looks fantastic. That was a lot of work and effort to complete what you did. Your DIY projects are some of the best. Thank you and y'all are an adorable couple really a enjoy watching the two of you together.
Maybe add a piece of padding over those bolts to shield you head! But it looks sooo good!
Wow girl! Well done for doing this all on your own, so impressive. And you’ve filmed and edited this so well! Can see how hard you work and how much care and attention you give to everything you do. Thank you for sharing. Wish you all the best with your new sailboat. Stay Beautiful, stay safe..
thank you :’)) so much hard work went into this one
Nice job on the boat. getting ready to start my sailboat.
It's 3 o'clock in the morning and maybe forty degrees out and I'm outside eating lunch at work in a t-shirt. It's all in your mind LOL.
Need to get a canopy built for extending your living space/ protect from the weather
consider adding mast, boom, rigging and sails. Then call it a sailboat. Now its a floating camper
I'm about to rebuild a small 15ft sailboat. I found it on my grandpa's land in the woods. It's an exciting project. Watching this video has actually given me great ideas. I'll be uploading videos for sure!!! Thank you Becca. I look forward to watching all your videos? New subscriber for sure
thank you!!! :)
Maybe the stomach pain was from all the cleaning spray you breathed in?😂 Looking forward to the finished boat tho. Go Becca!
Love it the only thing I would change is putting a small cage around the screws in the ceiling, that looked like it hurt a lot when you hit it.
Yep this was my #1 concern as well, something really needs to be done about this before someone gets seriously hurt. :(
Your doing Great! I am purchasing an O'Day 272 this week. Keep it up!
Such a great job. You both make an awesome team. You did choose the right colors, just beautiful. This is by no means a criticism of your choices, but I would add a fold-down table. A couple of gate hinges and some plywood would make it much homier and functional. I remember my Mom always saying, "never eat in bed, or you will wake up feeling crummy.." Keep up the great work..
i eat in bed when i truck camp and let me tell you.. i HATE eating in bed. it makes me feel all gross. LOL
Agree. Figure out a table top for between the couches. Hinged in the middle with fold out legs is a good idea.
Nice work looks great 👍 personally one rear bunk i would build a slide out kitchen that slides in and out that has a cooker , sink and a 12volt fridge all together when not needed slides back and you have more seating makes sence
Keep up the enthusiasm and courage to fulfill your dreams.
I would sand the 2 sides of wood where your slider doors go to match wooden shelves
Good job! Looks great! How about magnetic curtains on the lil side windows and use some rubberized chalk on those bolts that you hit your head on. That way if you ever need to loosen those bolts you just peel off the rubber. Love your videos.
Becca, you may want to add caulk or a small plastic dome to cover those exposed screws that you hit your head on earlier so that you won't draw blood next time.
Looking good. Get a mast and sail. You're going to love sailing.
I hope you checked the swing keel for proper functioning .. The side bench seating is also a bed area .. Longer foam padding going under the cockpit .. It is possible to make a small gally/kitchen counter that can slide under the port side or starboard side where the bench seat extends under the cockpit
Nice job on the inside white look's good, excellent choice, glad you didn't just paint that wood and brought it back to life. You need to do something with those bolts that are sticking down that you bump your head on, maybe if you have some foam left over cut a section, paint it white and see if you can glue it up there. I can see many bruises if it stays the way it is. Love the motivation on this project.
White is a great color for the boat that's what I would have gone with
It's looking really good.
White looks great inside!
Yay! Your boat looks amazing. Love the curtains and lights. You did a great job with the cushions and the color scheme. Way to go! Love that you had on a Purple Rain shirt too. Prince is my #1 💜 Awesome job! You should be so proud of yourself!! 👊🏻💪🏻🎣
Sup Becca, sup lila, did good job, correct paint, hope holds up, surprised he didn't tell you to prep walls cleaning with TSP(trisodium phosphate)? We used in apartment painting, and boat cabins, so start with pure clean surface for paint to adhere, some cleaners leave a film. Great tho, think of replacing lights? Or bulbs? If too bright or not bright enough for you? Daisy freaking out beating me with tail🤣. Can you put pull out drawers in that deep dead space on both sides of entrance like truck drawers? All you have learned can you imagine what the future holds🤙, need 2 seats at wedding 😂. Forgot, have someone grind those bolt heads off at nut👍. tyvm tc🎃
Great job Becca!
Your boat is looking sweet! Have you life jackets and the outdoor lite so others can spot you at night? Also, what about a portable lew?
Hope you did not hurt your head on the exposed screws or whatever they are on the ceiling.
Maybe cover them with a round foam pad with a fabric cover (you make) and velcro it to the area. That can hurt over and over again.
Heck yeah thanks for shopping at Lowe's!!!
I was positive that was the Bed Bath and Beyond parking lot in Warwick! Hello from NK turned out great!
OMG am I the only one who actually smelled the glue when she was spraying it on the foam?? This is so fun to watch....
Looks amazing! Great job! I would add a thin wooden piece under the black foam mat so you can easily access that storage. It would be harder to lift up the mat area. Or at least tape the mats together so you can lift up the mattress easily. Nice job! If the command strips and lights don’t work out I’d try an led strip.
You can cut a board and pound it against those bolts from your mast drill holes so the bolts and nuts fit then double stick tape it up so you can easily remove it if you need but you can sand it down and stain it to match your shelves
Your Oops blooper had me crying lol. Real-time work going on here! Keep up the great work.
I had to cut out at least 20 minutes of the timelaspe because of that HAHA i was in the zone and forgot about the camera, oh well. thank goodness for editing
The good thing about teakwood is while you have it removed you can retain it put varnish it the white paint will make it appear brighter since don't have much window space Midwood makes good wood stain for your wood surfaces have fun it's gonna look really good😁😁😁😁😁
Typo Midwood wood stain for teakwood have fun !!!
I totally loved her pajamas
Color changing led's under the bulk head that runs around the cabin. Think something similar to lights installed under kitchen cabinets. Would create a cool vibe with colored lighting. Also maybe buy some white Flex Seal and paint or spray it on the screws on the ceiling. You will probably continue to hit your head on it because of its location, but at least the Flex Seal will rubberize the screws and make them less dangerous. Can't wait for the sailing camping trips to come!!
Looks fresh and cozy. Great job Becca. Fix that ceil before you really split your wig.
It looks amazing!! I can’t wait to see more! Great job Becca
For the cushions you should have made a template out of poster board for the seats and you will also need to do the same thing for the virus and then you can cut your foam according to the poster board templates
Nice job with the curtains.
Looking awesome!!!
Girl you are fearless. Way to go it turned out nice good job!
OMG the little "oops" had me blushing! 😊
Wow well done looks great way to go keep going so happy for you keep safe love ya
Nice job Becca, just curious where is the mast and your sails?
well….
It is cool come to the Caribbean islands 😁😁
Becca is about to turn into Ayo with the boats 😂
i mean…. i wouldn’t complain..
I love ayo and Becca! They are both great! 🙂❤️
@@nickiebledsoe6302 they should race the sail boat against lil bitty lol
She'd have to buy a boat an episode to catch up 😂😂 Ayo is going to open a personal marina by the end
It's looking good 😊
It looks fantastic Becca! Love how all the colors came together! You did 👍💕💜
great job looks real nice
great job the only thing I would warn you about it those stickers to put in there to hang things will fall off when the humidity changes inside.
I also have a 72 model 22 O Day.. After sitting up for 5 years it needs a lot of work.. I will keep up with you guys and perhaps I can share some build and photos with you.. Jon
Elsker dine videoer med din båd, håber der kommer flere af dem❤
The boat looks good keep up the good work and enjoy it when it's finished Good luck out there fishing..🎣
I like the great job Ladies 👍👌💪⛵
Wow nice you did all that work :)
You should add a Sail!!
Great job Becca, I can't wait to see what you do with the outside of the boat.
I also recommend taking the ASA 101 sailing course
You done a great job.! Also I love the oops part.!
White was the right choice. Looks like you are putting your head at the narrow end, I would be claustrophobic. I would have to put my head at the higher end, lol. It is super cute. Great idea to move the curtain higher. It really did make it sharper looking. You did good:) looks 100 percent better!
Great Job!
Clever girl, nicely done job. Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us. When you want to come to Brazil I take you to sail, catch n' cook here, deal?
Awesome job
I laughed at the oops. lol hope you have a great one.
This is phenomenal. I've been wanting to do something along this. Or build my own from scratch.
Great job girlie.
Looks great! You have inspired me to do the curtain idea with my sailboat. Great idea!
Those curtains are popping!! Great video, you need a 5 gallon bucket to bail-out that rain water.
Awesome job! Maybe you could try cutting down some wine corks drill a smaller hole in them than what the screw is and thread them on. It looks painful hitting your head on that.
it hurt very bad LOL that’s a great idea! thank you
Yea good job doing it yourself. Definitely cover up those bolts on the ceiling.
I personally would have done the dark brown but, I love that kinda dark moody look. I think it’s looking great though! Nice work!!❤
Can't wait to see you, Lila and Sky spend a night in the boat, you just need a heater, it is getting cold here in New England....
Badass!! I was literally thinking about how to do those curtains but you did it lol Good job Becca 🤟🤟
Airbrush artwork on the inside maybe a fantasy mural of warrior chicks battling a dragon or something
The first thing I'd do is glue some foam over the bolts in the ceiling! I'd cut head open on them
Becca it Lisa Crawford. Love these Sail Boat Videos. Allso, just a thought... What might be a funny video... Is one with just bloopers. Because You Have Master Every Way To Take A Fall! Some times I can feel your pain! Im taking to the Tv saying No Girl Not Again. I know you probably think im picking on you but No.. I just watch you take a slide into the water! I watch you every day! Hope You Have A Good Thanksgiving
Good job, makes a world of difference....😀
You also have to make sure the window seals are water tight. You may not see the leaks in the inside walls. The leaks may happen, and most likely, between the outside seal and the inside wall were you can’t see it. If the windows seals are leaking the water will rot the wooden ribs that are the skeleton of your boat.
Hey Becca! Dang, you’re always doing some cool projects! Im kinda the same way, I make things work even if the answer isn’t immediately obvious. 👍🏼.
Now, just an uneducated question here: It’s a Sail boat, right? 1) Where are the sails? and 2) Do you know how to sail?
Please be safe, girl!
👋🏽 Hi to Lyla & Skye!!
