Anyone who stirs his coffee with a wrench is ok by me.
That one got me too! Ha
Picked up off and returned to the gravel yard no less. Classic…..
Indeed. Says all we need to know about Mark. 🎉🎉
Stirs his coffee with a wrench laying on the ground and stirs his paint with chop stix. What a mess!
Guy is a superhero
Just wonderful. Let me tell you something folks...you are not an engineer, until you have stired your freshly poured coffee with a spanner from the floor. This is the official initiation.
Engineers that I know aren't ones who get dirty and they overcomplicate everything
And you're REALLY an engineer when you stir with a slightly rusted spanner off the ground.
Take offense to this as I dont drink coffe.
Ooooh Mark, your video's make me smile & burst with pride! Your vision is coming to fruition,,,,,, Mahi has gone past the Ugly Ducking stage & what a beautiful swan she's becoming! Soppy, I know,,,But I'm your Mum,,,I'm allowed to do soppy! Soo looking forward to seeing you soon ish with the boxes,,🤞🌈🌻Mum🌻🌈🤞
I thought you made a huge mistake when you bought that boat. Very happy to be wrong. Good job. Can't wait to see it sailing.
same here. but he put work into it.
@@ysesq Only time will tell, if that holds up
Same here…
And recruited a huge amount of help?
@@Forakus do you follow The Sailing Brothers? I don’t disagree with your point. This is not a sailing channel. Equally, two great sailors, who had never left the UK and did deliveries for Asda… to fund buying a cheap boat… now sailing their (cheap) cool old boat half way round the world… that is also amazing to watch and seriously inspiring.
I watched Mark do his first boat and his wife leave him. Been a channel of some drama.
Thanks!
Always get chopsticks with your Chinese dinners - I've fixed dozens of things with those beauties!
You needed another month on the hard to get those beams done and a few other little jobs. At least you can stay there. Hopefully the yard will help with a few bits to keep you going.
Hey the dew drops on that spilled paint give you an automatic grip texture 😂
Mahi is looking so, so good. What a transformation. Look forwards to every episode. Brilliant series.
Were you able to paint the area where the boat was resting? There's those spots where the boat is resting on something else but that doesn't show being treated.
they give you time to paint those bits when they lift. You can see the other wharram owner painting his when he was lifted first.
We can call you Mister Beam now. 😅 Nice job done Marc. 👍
I like that
I remember when I first watched you and your old friend "fixing up" the old boat. I said to myself, "No way this channel will go anywhere. Here you are with 100,000 subs and working hard. Good on you. Keep working hard, we will keep watching.
🤗
I hope you are conscious that there are more than 100,00 of us excited to get this back in the water. This is awesome!,,
🤗🤗🤗
I wonder if that spider was comparing the tape stickiness to his own; or just getting high off the glue.
Bye the way, the colours are amazing. Loving it 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Looking Good
Any launch you can walk away from is a good launch.
At last someone who knows boats are launched and not "splashed" !!!
Love the look on your face when having to spend money .. most of us spend all we have on ours
@wildlingsailing... your gay
Finish uncompleted jobs before going on to the next project. Mahi hulls looks beautiful with her paint scheme.
Good to see you relaxed a little now that the splash goal was met. You must feel like you’ve just been let out of jail, lol. So happy for you and we’re all very proud of the way you have responded to a major challenge so far. Wishing you continued success on the mast and rigging goals.
Looking good mark.
I really like the second Mahi where the a is small. That looks more like you I think. The other one is to straight, to streamlined. The second is more playful and laid back !! Great work !
I agree!!
Very controversial 😂
@@WildlingSailing 🤣🤣🤣
A good thing with this channel is that it verifies that even a 100% amateur with no experience with tools, materials and techniques also can get some results ... and it floats.
WARNING, please don't put any drinkable stuffs near the chemical liquids to avoid wrong drinking and or get contamination. 6:25
Nice progress anyway :)) Keep up the good work.
She's looking great man. Dude that thing's going to be so fast compared to minky. It's going to rip your face off.
I worked in a boatyard for a while in the 90s. When we came to do the waterline on a boat, the boss would get out an old surveyor's theodolite and set up 30 metres or so away amidships and direct us as we applied the tape. Perfect job every time!
Today you would use a Lazer pointer or level and you could do it single handed... transfering to the hull inners by using a length of clear plastic pipe with water in.. matches the inner level to the sight line.. even across along stretch between hulls .
The colors and paint job came out looking great!
The most satisfying job on a boat..........demasking after antifouling OOOOOHHHHH yeah.
Nice waterline believe me those odd waves and high points disappear as soon as she splashes. motors and mast is great but also get that accommodation winterized too for comfort.
Thanks for the videos very enjoyable I look forward to meeting you when you get to New Zealand.
Isn't she lovely!
The first CZcams splash I’ve seen where the captain doesn’t run around manically checking through hulls and bilges! I like your choices, MAHI is going to be an adventure to dreams. Well done mark.
Hey boy great job.
Mahi looks absolutely amazing💚
Splashed in , keep going until the weather puts you off. Git er done!
And we have SPLASH DOWN 👏👏👏👏
Great update 2x👍
Amazing what a fresh coat of paint does to make a good lookin boat.
mark now shes on the water , haul that beam back out and finish it off . never leave a job as important as that half done . finish one job completely before moving to the next one , and please please leave behind that saying it will do for now , you want it to do forever .
Boat videos are tha best
you can clean the build up off the sandpaper by running your sander and brushing the paper with a wire brush
Mark she is butiful painting and looks nice in the water
Make you olso a cabin on the beams ?
Great Job. Sleeping on a sailboat in the yard sucks, in the water amazing!
Mark.... get that beam finished. It is so close! Check that off your list! The boat is looking so pretty!
aMAZING WHAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SINCE YOU WERE PARKED IN THE SWAMP
Exactly👏
Well done you made it in the water on time .
You’re evolving into a REAL salty dog my guy! Proud of you! The boat is a beaut! You sail on sailor!
PS: thanks for the tunes… again! You keep it real w/tunage
Nice dog
You! Can do this young man, press on with pride!
I’m looking forward to watching your journey xx
That is great the more you know your boat the better and who better to teach you. That is the designer looking good
One step at a time. Making progress, that's what counts.
Steve Andrews here. A Patreon . Great work mate. Just do not burnout. Take a few ME days and de-stress it is invaluable and you can put fuel in your tank! Tools down mate.
She looks great sitting in the water.
Yeah! Wet keels! That's a lot of progress in a short time. Rigging, take what you can get as cheap as or for free, you can always rehash it later. You will need some extra motivation over the coming winter months, being able to make her sailable in the short term would be a good target to achieve. I'm sure there will be some that are getting rerigged over the winter at that yard and would donate their old rigging that will be good for a season or so.
They say replace the rigging every 10 years. An insurance company might say 7 years, especially for the main supportive rigging. Say you are going to take 10 years to go round the World it would be best to start from new. Most that comes off is because it old and past it's use by date. Might be OK for light summer coastal cruising but still risky. Best to get good stuff and don't under spec. Maybe select some good used items for emergencies. Quality shackles and blocks always worth picking up. This goes for anchor chain too. Not cheap so always a difficult decision.
@@delukxy Wharram boats are (of course) a bit different.
Just use high-quality very-low-stretch Dyneema for the standing rigging.. (That type of Dyneema is *very* expensive, but it's also very good).
she's looking good Mark 👍
How exciting..!! Back in the water and on to the next phase. You are a machine, Mark..!! Well done.
Cheers
Grant
Bro I can’t get over how good the paint color and antifouling look together. Joanna Gaines would be proud lol
Mark ..... I gotta say
I'M DAMN IMPRESSED with how far you've come and how much you've learned this summer.
Keep it up brother , I am DAMN PROUD of you young man.
Cheers & Beers

Well done…steady as she goes…be safe…
I think that you should just leave those stickers on and name the boat Mahi Mahi!
Woweeh, floating after those jobs done suits her well! Congratulations 👏
you made so much progress!!! I'm really impressed, I was one of the ones saying don't get the boat, well you did an amazing job young fella
I see you crossed 100K - nice work! G'ver!
Well done, Mark, you can visually see the love your giving her. I'm sure your Wharram will be stunning when you set sail.
Mark, the boat looks beautiful. Congrats on getting so much done.....focus on all the successful steps completed. The other things you hoped to complete before putting her in the water (finishing up the beam, etc...) can wait until the next time you take her out. Take a break or do the engine work...whatever suits your fancy. But spend a little time celebrating how far you have come (in all ways) over the past year. Well done Mate!!
🤗
congrats on getting back on the water!
Whew... scary being rushed into the water without really being able to sort out the things on the ground... but hey - the paint job for one looks impeccable 🤩 excellent job there.
Agree, sexy AF watching that crisp line reveal . And really good looking colour pairing .
The paint job is fantastic.😊
Best 2k you could ever spend,
Wow it looks brilliant mate
1 advice for the next job when using masking tape. Never roller up or along the masking tape, always use a brush and brush from tape away, then roller carefully close (not on) to the masking tape. This is to prevent paint bleed under the masking tape. Otherwise, a good job well done.
Congratulations! Nice to see her in the water again... great job banging it out this summer.
Very nice to see the boat going into the water again! You're making great progress, very impressive =D
Keep going Mark
Your doing an amazing job 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Hey, Mahi is looking very smart with this paintjob and the crisp waterlines, glad to see you back afloat!
so chuffed at what you've achieved ........great stuff mark
Killin it man, from Chorley
Mark, We really like the colours you have used, 55 years ago my Dad painted his Folkboat the same, you have brought back fond memories, Thanks…. John Ross, Ontario, Canada
That color looks so, slick.
Best series on the Tube.
Love the black, it looks so smart Mark, would look nice if you could include some black up top somewhere.
but just a tad
She's cleaning up nicely. Spot-on hull color.
Cool. Pleased you’re back in the water.
I look forward to seeing your sailing adventures in this new vessel and I hope that that lady joins you on at least one voyage 👍
Such a long way from paddling with a shovel in a shore salvaged, almost leaking row boat, out to your newly purchased wharram, with no assurance it wouldn't sink momentarily. And then your cleaning 10 yrs of mold and filth from the inside, square by square, til you had a place to lay your head. I could hardly remember those days as I watched your boat being lowered back into the water, beautifully painted, floating and taking its place alongside other sailboats of the respectable sort. By gum you did it.
This is just lovely🤗
You should not underestimate what you're achieving right now - not only are you providing entertainment for a lot of sad f*ckers like myself that are living vicariously through you, but you are also learning life skills that will set you in good stead for ever!!
Blue beard looks great too
A big step forewards, congratulations 👍👍
Looking slick!
Mahi Mahi hulls are looking so good !
You’ve achieved so much in a short time from a half sunken 2,000 project. Hope you get the beams and channels properly coated and protected before the cold wet weather comes. :)
Go on Mark be brave. It’s a tough job but someone’s go to do it👊🏻😜
Good one.
Great share, really com8ng along. Thanks for documenting the journey that's a huge commitment and investment.
congratulations for all your courage and work . since you will soon decide on your platform design ,I share following thoughts : as offshore toilet alternative, especially for women , an asian style hole ,in the deck platform ,with lid and appropriate safety measures . 2 dark ,watertight containers ,fixed to the deck ,maybe with view protection and safety for asian toilet in mind . watertight containers strong enough to stamp with your feet in it . the rocking motions of not fully filled containers ,plus feet power will turn these watertight containers into a wash machine . a water collection surface leading into the containers during rainfall plus a water hose near toilet hole and containers will further facilitate washing of bum ( clean style for millions in Asia ,saving trees ,paper litter and storage volumes ,including use of bio soap) .
As just one of millions who got skin cancer ,I highly recommend a roof design ,done with sturdy solar panels . wishing you the very best .
Google translate (sorry). For the waterline you can take two plastic bottles. Return them. Cut the bottom. Mark them. Connect them to a long watering tube. Fill with water. Secure one of the bottles in front or behind the boat. You have a free water level. Only obligation: the boat must be wedged horizontally... I did it and it works.
Awesome Mate good job cheers
Gotta feel good to be in the water though!
Well done and keep the spirit
💪
My Gosh you did a great job! The boat is really looking beautiful!
Mark you made your boat look brand new on the outside it's looking nice. You put a lot of work into that boat and it's starting to pay off congratulations on a job well done. I know you still have more to go but at least it's floating. Can't wait to see your next video what you do next.
Well done looks great
What matters most is your attitude. That's why the channel is growing and you are getting lots of comments.
🤗
Will you look at that paint job. Excellent work. Enjoyable to see. Keep on going :)
The reason Boats are white mostly is because they are in the sun most of the time, dark colors like solar panels absorb heat and probably will cause unnecessary repair later from the heat they absorb..
Also (as I’m sure you know) white also stays better looking longer. Is easy to touch up without looking patchy. And is easier to see than a darker colour on a dark sea. White maybe a bit unimaginative but I stick with white now… it’s a practical choice not a creative one.
I had one red boat… was a total pain to keep looking good.
Great work...! just keep going anything is possible keep focus.
I be been looking back what a great mum and dad you have mark they are truly beautiful as are all the people who help ❤
Awwww,,thank you 🤗⛵️🤗
