As as schoolboy my Dad and Uncle bought neglected wooden cruisers and did what today we would call driver grade restorations on them. I spent many, many summers sanding mahogany and teak decks and brightwork. The payoff was when I was allowed to follow along as Dad started with the varnish. One day he gave me the brush, and said, "you have watched enough son.
I was vey proud of that deck hatch when it was done.
The last boat they did was a 29 or 31 ft Owens with twin inboards. That boat needed complete engines on top of lotsa sanding) but those two fell in love with her (so Did I, I loved them all.) and we spent two years in the yard. Her rudders were unrecognizable with the growth. When she was relaunched the whole "yard rat" population was watching and clapping. I am 65 now, was about 10-12 when we launched that big girl, so..50 years?
Summer days in the yards of Southern California. To this day if I get near fresh sanded decks or other brightwork, or smell varnish...I am transported back. You guys took me there tonight, too.
Garrett and Ruth you are incredible you inspire me and I'm 63 years old! And I'll always love watching you sail and enjoy your adventures thank you
when i was 21 years old in 1974 i bought a 57 foot Chris Craft Constellation and my family thought i had lost my mind , i spent 36 years living on her and the biggest mistake i ever made was going on land in 2010 , i regret it every single day ,,,,, enjoy boat life , it's the best way to live
I love that you were under time pressure to get your own boat back in the water, but still, you both took time to help a friend when they needed. You’re good people.
Wow!!! She looks amazing!
Glad to see that you are taking care of the Kitty as well.
She is looking Beautiful once again! Love you guys.
Keep a dream come true beautiful like your sailboat is an endless job of fixing and improvements. Groovy episode.
Wowser, your friends boat is like a Thunderbird on steroids! Me like!
"There's no better feeling than knowing you gave it your all and knowing you came out on top. In the moment is brutal, but the reward is so sweet it makes you salivate. ... I believe it makes me a better person." This is why.
....... " and some day we will be in the tropics"...... Have a margarita guys.... Looks great. This work in LONG LEG PANTS. YIKES.... More primer, more paint. repeat..... over n over.
Fabulous guys...such hard graft x
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
So glad I learned about epoxy putty from your video. Bought and used some today.
Hi from NZ 🇳🇿 . Stumbled upon your channel. Omg I'm hooked. Look forward to following along with your adventures. 🍻
The finished paint job looks really nice! Sail On!
Hey Garrett and Ruth. It's hard graft doing the prep work, but the results are transformational all ready. You guy's have broke her back, Garret seems to be holding on with his back. The task is almost done, on the outside. Then just a matter of cleaning up the insides. Damn that dust...
We will pardon the pun on "the boat yard grind" 😀
Great little transition from B&W to color. Just want you to know all the creative work is being appreciated! 😊
Dang ! You two are shipyard Beasts ! Gettin it done. I've taken a Catalina 30 through the yards a couple times but, you definitely push yourselves ! It feels great when you're done......the sense of accomplishment cannot be replicated anyway or anyhow. Congrats you two; I'll be watching to see where your lives journey takes you..........fair winds Garrett and Ruth.
She really needed that, glad you got her all freshened up and looking good.
There you go !!! Much better, poor girl was showing some pain when you pulled her out. Might not want to let the haul out maintenance intervals span so much time??
Great work you two, you'll feel its all worth it the first night back out in the water!
Cheerz !!!!
Nobody, but nobody likes yard work but just look at the results, awesome guys
shes a beauty. wow good job ruth. and garrett
I think this was one of your better vids, so much effort and the results, she's a beauty!!!l
boatyard work is brutal, great you are able to do it together, it helps so much.
Well done! She is Red again.
That is the hard slog done and it does seem like forever when you are doing it. It looks to be a similar red to what I used for my 33' carvel wooden charter boat. I have spent many years in boat yards working on my boat and helping others with theirs and I used to work in one which was fantastic seeing the repairs make the boat look whole again. As far as I am concerned wooden boats are the best and much better character than plastic fantastic's and tin dishes.... I have had wooden boats all my life and also used to be a skipper at one of Melbourne's Australian Volunteer Coast Guard flotillas. I love watching your channel and what you both get up to. The hard work pays off always.
Love you Guys.
"Hard work is required to display the shine of success." and you two SHINE with success!!! Love you guys
We are super grateful for your help. I hope next time we can go sailing in the beautiful Rediviva. We're going to miss seeing her anchored
must be cool turning around and thinking - yep, that's my boat
Love you guys! thanks
Ruth your word imagery.... outstanding! Goodonyas!
Yeah, you guys are just great
Joy and suffering, the balance of boat life.
Good job, even without gloves.
looking great guys xx
I spent years enjoying watching both of you along with your dog build your boat than the last couple of years while you have been sailing.
Got to say it's been enjoyable watching you in a boat yard for two episodes.
Hope you now are able to enjoy your beautiful boat all freshly painted in the next episode.
Awesome guys !
Garrett - I am soooooo impressed with your dedication to the tasks at hand. When faced with 2 tasks, either #1 working on the stuffing box or #2 (well, you know what you said #2 was) - you chose #1. THAT my brother is dedication to the cause and once again I find myself to more impressed by you!!! And Ruth - what an amazing partner/workmate and all-around tough gal. Blessings upon you both. JLSOhio51
You've given her a new lease of life.Well done both of you.
I've said this before, but your boat is one of my absolute favorites on CZcams. Jesus, she's pretty.
Love you guys. Your thoughts are what makes this channel
Looking proper again
This episode exemplifies the meaning of life with a beautiful boatyard analogy. Hard work is required to display the shine of success. Thank the darkness of night for the glow of the sunrise. Rejoice through the storms, they yield to beautiful blue skies. A life of purpose is a perfect balance between sacrifice and reward. Good work you two! What a grind!
Great ep guys! You BOTH are rock-stars. Fair winds.
Well done. Sail on.
Garrett and Ruth,
Y'all have to be soo relieved by now, as I am sure that Rediviva is back on the water. Working in that heat was surely intolerable.
I have to say that when I first saw the red/orange paint going on that all I could think of was WRONG COLOR and a sad Rediviva and Crew.. However, as each additional coat was applied the original color reappeared and Rediviva seemed to spring back to a happy state. She really looks great. I'm ready to see her back in the water again. I know that there had to be a celebration and a lot of sleeping after you relaunched her. Thank y'all for sharing.
Cheers!
Blue Skies and Fair Winds.
Faithfully,
James
Wat geniet ik telkens weer van jullie avontuur . De boot is weer mooi geschilderd in rood en zwart . Deze boot vind ik fantastis en ga ik bouwen in het klein om op mijn kast te zetten . Dankje wel dat ik je steeds mag volgen . Nog veel plezier ❤
ON ON !!
You two are rockstars
Y'all are damn right y'all are getting a lot of attention! Beautiful boat and two beautiful people who luv her!!! ❤️🇺🇸👍
😅 glad that’s over. lol
Excited to see back in the water 💦 😀
16:09, Wow 😂
Great job almost done!
You guys did an awesome job 👏
Y’all are amazing, impeccable work ethic, that’ll be a well earned cheers 🤙🍻
Just a comment from a retired boatyard worker: You might consider using a vacuum with your sanders. This is not just about the environment, it is about keeping the edge on the sandpaper. Bottom paint takes down the best sandpaper (which is worth finding and paying for because sharp sandpaper will your reduce your workload by way more than half. My fellow boatyard guys will tell you it is nuts to sand without vacuums--though we all thought it was nuts when it was first required.
14 days to I go on the hard. Prepping with this. Good work S&T 😁
Oh, she looks beautiful...ready for the South Seas, even! Fatu Hiva, The Bay of the Virgins, changed my life. I didn't get there till I was 37 years old. I wish I had got there sooner. Pictures don't even come close to the beauty. It is undoubtedly gods finest work. It changed my heart and to this day it lives as the highest example of wonder, beauty, balance and serenity. It's beauty guides my life. Just to know it is there, that I have seen it, is an eternal light in my heart. Go there.
You too, eh?
I couldn’t agree more, or have said it better.
It was a long time ago now but the memories of sitting on the forehatch at dawn with a mug of tea that first morning, watching, listening, becoming ever more enchanted, will stay with me forever.
😎🤝🍻
You two MAKE MY DAY with each video. Thanks for sharing LUV-UN-IT
You’re really doing a good job on your haul out. ❤
As a wooden boat owner I feel your pain but the reward is the beauty and connection they bring like no other boat. Looks amazing! now enjoy some rest. Cheers!
Good job givin' that 'purdy' Girl some *needed* love folks!
⛵
My wife and I loved our time in La Cruz! As I was watching this I kept thinking about the heat. Man, we've been there twice in February, and it was super hot after 10 every day. You guys are amazing for getting your girl all pretty in such a short time in that temperature.
Thank you, it was very nice, excellent team work.😍🧿👍
Beautiful boat, beautiful vlog, beautiful music, great narration, very enjoyable.
Love that color! ❤ Good thing you kids are so young; I got worn out just watching.
She cleans up pretty good! Great job guys!
Great work you guys.
Great episode! (of course!) I love boatwork, especially when other people breathe the fumes . She looks good! Glad you had a good haul out without huge problems. I (we) really appreciate your channel and your honest, real content. You are among the best of CZcams, in my opinion. CZcams, take notice!
I wish I was a rich man and could support you more, but I’m not. But I love your channel, your boat, and your drive. Keep it up, as long as you can! I hope you do well. That boat is so damn great! I am proud of you two, and I hope you are extremely proud of yourselves!
Great job guys the boat looks great looking forward to your coming adventures.
love your energy
Wow is all I can say you two are beast,, you're awesome 😎
You are both beasts when it comes to work and your attention to detail is great. As partners you are both very lucky
Ruth - not sure how you make a 20 minute video about working in a boatyard almost fascinating, but you do. Great work as usual.
Incredible episode guys!! What is more incredible how much you have achieved while in the yard. Very well done
I'm so happy seeing you wearing proper footwear for boatyard work. IMHO, taking care of your feet is basic knowledge many neglect.
Thanks for sharing. ❤
Nice job i can tell you two love your boat.
You guys are wonderful!
love you keep up good work
Wow, you guys rock with all that you got done! Wishing you well going forward.
She's looking refreshed an gorgeous! All your hard work pays off and is inspiring. :)
Lapworth 32 looks like a overgrown Thunderbird 26.
Probably stole the idea from Ben seaborn
You think Bill Lapworth needed to steal ideas from a loser like Seaborn who ended up committing suicide?
Good morning, from Louisiana, that was so satisfying putting on the top coat. Love you guys. ❤❤❤❤❤
Looking Fresh Again! Good Luck Guys!!
You mention the dust , I can only imagine the fumes with the blazing sun beating down . But what the hey it's part of the adventure . BTW : the new color is jazzy !
great job guys!
Looks like new again--nice job you 2 !!!!
Next time sand 2,3 coats of primer next sand primer and continue with topcoat your house paint will not last and you probably already know that behr is not bear
The joys of knowing,,, and doing the best you can,, on who you are,,, and who your partner is,, n! Doing the best you can for the both of you all,,,,, you guys made a beautiful profile together,,, never giving up,, you guys dreams are coming through,,👊
Great video!
Loving your music today 😁👍
A great result after a lot of hard work. You both should be proud. Cheers
She is brought back to life, good job guys
Sweet boat ⛵ y'all from TENNESSEE
Good Job you guys!!! You work hard, but the hard work shows.
It is a great feeling to see your vessel look so good.
Smooth sailing. With our best wishes,
Raul and Joan Bryan, Texas
Rediviva looks great! That first coat of topside paint looked a bit like glossy red lead primer but she looks great all repainted!
"Sweat Equity" is the term that DEFINES wooden boat care, and you are living that term! It is well worth the investment!
Tkzz for sharing.,.,.,.,peace
