- I bought a 1976 Fisher 30 Northeaster motorsailer in great need of "some" TLC.
In this video i cut down the last of the interior, shoveling a lot of snow, making beer and anglegrind so it is snowing fibreglass.
Hehe. Combining hard work with some good laughs. The energy you put into this boat is amazing, considering all the other projects which you work on daly. You are certainly the son of your father. (to other subscribers, I know as I saw his father completely renovating an old mansion house and a 70 foot schooner back in the 70 and 80-ties) PS. Helge is my nephew. :-) , and his 83 year old father, still my best friend, along with Helge and family.
This is so wonderfully bonkers and eccentric you should be offered a honorary British Citizenship Keep it up, it’s a delight to follow your journey.
Thanks, (I guess). ;-)
I am very glad to see that you have your priorities correct, as beer should always come before demolition. Well done.
Haha! Was it that obvious? ;-)
Hallo Helge Another great video! Some of my favorite parts of your posts is looking at the Norwegian scenery. As an American I am amazed how well you and your son speak English A fisher 37 was my fathers favorite boat I look forward to your videos Thanks John Neff Connecticut USA ps: it is cold here also
Love your videos and great sense of humour,Thanks
I am in awe of your tenacity, when you could at home in the warm drinking beer! Good man.
Thanks. A beer taste better after some boatwork. :-)
Well done Helge, We can now see the end of the beginning. I always warm to sailors who like to brew at home. My favourite is Welsh Red (Cwtch from Tiny Rebel Brewing co.) Winter work seems like a thankless task but you should be all set for gluing when the weather warms up! Keep going and continue to surprise us 😊
Thanks Peter. Are you sure it is not the beginning of the end? ;-)
Your favorite beer is actually for sale in the brewing shop we use, in this city. (www.vestbrygg.no/m%C3%B8rk-ale/103829/tiny-rebel-cwtch-20l-%C3%B8lsett)
...continue to surprise...hmmmm ;-)
You just know there is no strength there when the fiberglass pulls off like that.
I love the night scenes from the harbor looking across at the city lights.
A few weeks ago we had record cold. -14 which is crazy cold for us. This week we are at 11 degrees, crazy warm. Oh, we are having an atmospheric river event going on too. I am also looking forward to spring.
The biggest problem - I think - is what the fibreglass is no longer attached to: rotten plywood.
I is actually not night scenes but more scenes between 7pm and 10pm. Sitting here writing it is about 6pm but totally dark (and wind/rain) outside. Spring will be great as is every year. :-)
I was very pleasantly surprised to see you have all your priorities in the correct order,
So your expectations was otherwise then.. ;-D
@@hsobstad No not at all, Just pleasantly confirmed.
That boat will be better than new!
Hello, from Florida,
Love your video's and admire your work ethic!
Best,
Ed
Hello, Ed from Florida. I guess you are not troubled with snowy weather. Thanks for your compliment :-)
Good to see you back, I have missed all your hard work
Haha! I had a Christmas break but that is over now... ;-)
Nice video as usual Helge. Look forward to the next. 😊🇸🇪
Thanks! Doing my best to please my subscribers... :-)
Thanks!
Dear Duncan. You did it again! Thanks for your continuous support! You are the best! :-)
Hey !! You just "Geordied" Peter's beer of the week. 🍺🍺🍺🤣🤣🤣
I guess that is a good thing then.... :-)
Winter is a disaster for me.
If it were like this all year round, I would look for a stable branch.
I like the variation in the seasons. Keeps my spirit up and each spring is a boost! :-)
2 years ago i saw that nice and stylish boat "Marco Polo" for sale, i was´nt able to buy it but i only wished that the new owner take a compromise to bring her back to the glory days, this project will bring you satisfaction in the soul. Good job!
Thanks. I immediately fell for the boat, when I found the add. But I the actual condition was....yeah...! :-)
Lmao Jon, when you dove into the snow at the beginning was hilarious 😅
That was my inner child playing in the snow.... :-)
Thanks Helge..
Loving your content....the beer stuff was very interesting,, you should explain it more....
Thanks, Michel. Since this is a boating channel I must admit I do hesitate to bring too much of not-boat-stuff and thought the beer-brewing section was a bit much. Interesting to read that you would have absorbed some more of that. :-)
Glorious, glorious sanding .. 😂 to quote Madd's from Denmark.
Yes, Mads in SailLife; very skillful guy. Oh, glorious sanding and Spiffy is som of his phrases. Trying not to copy ;-)
Your area got more snow than where I am in Maine USA. We have less than 24inches so far this season, not complaining though; i have only had to run the snow thrower once.
Oh it varies a lot for each year. We have winters with even more snow and winters with only rain. Being a costal city near the Gulf stream makes the winters mild and wet. :-)
I think the stuff that looks like the (alfalfa) "rabbit pellets" I used to feed my rabbits as kid, is actually the HOPS!
That´s right. Hops it is!
Hope the sale of the PC800 went fine.
❤
Bedankt
Tusen takk, Chiel! That is Norwegian for Thank you so much (or about so). Are you Dutch? I am happy that you liked the video and appreciate your SuperThanks very much.
Hi Helge!! I'm also a fan of the open concept in boat layout. I've never understood the use of multiple doors closing off sections of an already limited space. I've always been surprised that more manufacturers don't use pocket doors as they still provide privacy and security while minimizing the intrusion to the walking and living space. It looks like the demolition is almost complete ... could you take a few shots of the interior from end to end ... as you are constantly on the move in the videos, it is hard to get a good sense of the amount of space you have to work with on the refit.
Thanks, Robert, for your input. I will do my best to remember to shoot some video to get a sense of the now open hull. :-)
Well Helge, if you cant do glass work you could make a start on templating the new bulkheads, thats going to take ages anyway 🙂
Good point! Will do that (too)...
its good to watch a boat being rebuilt from the bare hull, well done
All my challenges starts now (the rebuild).... ;-)
Helge - I need to lay down now, I am exhausted just watching you. I think it may be a couple of months before you can do fibreglass work - maybe templating and manufacturing bulkheads, lockers and cupboards?
Hi Norman. "need to lay down..." Haha, good one!
I will do a prep as far as my skill-level allows (very limited skills). :-)
Always entertaining.
Good job and lucking forward to see more for this project!
Oh man i realy love the footage of your other boat in the dark on the water. The water vapor is phenomenal! So tally ho and sand away Helge...you will get there! 🙂
Yes, it is really magical to be out there on the cold waters.
Thanks, I will do my best to progress! :-)

Thanks. Good luck with your own project! :-)

Ok this isn't a wooden boat rebuild channel but in terms of quality content this is up there with the best of them. Cant wait for spring and the rebuild. Im wondering, will the fact that your channel seems mainly "self-funded", will that have an impact on the number of subscribers ? Not expanding into Patreon, etc like most other channels, could this have a negative impact ? I guess only time will tell. 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
This is definitely not Sampson boat co, with Tally Ho. Their skill-level is beyond all, I think. Still happy and humble to read your rating of this amateur channel. I have considered Patreon and making extra content for paying members, but not sure I have the time and energy to raising up to another level and deliver the expected extra content, live-chats and if was I am not sure anyone would pay for that.
Keeping things simple, basic and non-professional may be the answer to keep this channel small and authentic. I film what I do and Sara makes editing-magic with the raw-video material. This way you may also tolerate the rebuilding phase when you discover my missing skills and all the flaws that will pop up. Thanks for your input :-)
Hallo Helge, another great video and this time nice to be introduced to your son. I enjoyed reading Rolf’s comment and it ties things together. I concur with your idea on keeping the interior space open and only using a 2/3 wall with curtain for privacy. It is a small space already and walls just cause the eye to perceive it even smaller. Beste hilsener!
Hello Brian. Thanks for your nice comment and input.
I have made a lot of thoughts about the open-boat concept. I think it is a way to go - as you du - and will work further with that idea. Beste hilsener! (good one!) :-)
I am looking forward to spring too. Glad you survived the first part of the Arctic winter! By the way, always use your safety belt when driving! I enjoyed the video very much!
Thanks. Good advice to always use the seat belt. I always do! But maybe not from the yard-gate to the boat, at very low speed, inside a closed off area and a short way to go. But for the sake of the video I should urge to be an example to succeed. :-)
Tack för lite underhållning , kan du inte brygga en särskild fischer pilsner 😮 den hade nog blivit populär i hamnen 😊
Haha! Brewing it aboard then...? Or maybe add fibreglass dust for the extra taste of boatrefurbishment ;-D
As a fan of good homemade beer, I applaud your efforts. I haven't used Safale US-05 before but do use Kreik yeast with two additions of Citra-hops for my IPA. Since retiring and raising honeybees that produce way more honey than we can use, I now make mead. Another great video Helge. Thanks for sharing.
I was actually a bit worried to put so much time into the beer brewing (on a boat channel), but Sara decided to keep it.
Mead. That is viking-ish! That will then be called Mjød!
Thanks again, Duncan. :-)
Sarah made a good call. It's fun to learn about your other hobbies. A love of boating and Beer. Who would imagine they could be connected? 🙂 Ironically, I've made several meads but the one we like best is called "Viking Blood". It's a small world, my friend.@@hsobstad
@@duncanjames914 I am unfortunately not too much into mead. Prefer beer. Dark beer - eg stout - might be very rich for taste.
I am also a bit into HiFi systems. But might be too off the boating stuff to talk about...? Thanks, my friend in Canada.
Humle = Hops!
Thanks Olaf. Did´nt come to my mind in the moment ;-)
Love the F-bombs. Same in Norwegian I guess! Lol
Hmmm.... Actually not to happy those two bloopers came on the video. I guess the editor (Sara) loved them too. Reality... :-)
Hi, Helge!
After this video, it begins to seem to me that the Fischer hull is holding up only thanks to the new paint on the outside that you painted it with.
Thank you for the fabulous views of the winter sea at night! if you have the opportunity, make another video of this plan.
By the way, does your motorboat have any ice class?
Good for me I did the paint first, then. ;-)
You ask me to make another video about "this plan". What does that relate to? The winter sea?
My motorboat, the Rhea 900, has a grp-hull and no ice class as far as I know. I think ice-class boats will have to be steel or aluminium hull, or at least protected by such a layer of steel. :-)
@@hsobstad yes, right you are, i mean, video about winter sea
@@pelageos Got it! I shall see what is possible. 👍
You really need to consider moving to Florida
Yes, I would love some heat once in a while, but not too much and too hot. Living in Florida would mean I would have to sacrifice the Norwegian coast, mountains, nature. That would be hard for me.... :-)
@@hsobstad there’s always California , they have similar coastlines and mountains
I'll be honest, cold weather work just - no - not doing it. Everything is three times as hard.
True, it is harder and progress slower. But it is still progress ;-)
Very tempered weather there ! So your going from 2 state rooms to just 1 ? won't that hurt the resale value of the vessel ? I thought most Norwegians had winter homes in the mountains not summer homes up there ?
Yep. At the west coast, near the Atlantic, the Golf stream passes by. So mild climate.
Reducing to one (real) bed in each end of the hull. You are right, that might reduce the resale value. But I dont care about that fact as I do hope to enjoy the boat for many years, so only focusing on my own ideas and what I like.
I know I keep calling our cabin the summer house even though we use it all year. It is by the sea, not up in the mountains. But you are right in your understanding, many Norwegians have cabins in the mountains, for winter use and others have cabins by the sea for summer use. Some have both. :-)
WOW! "...a good looking middle-age man..."🤣
Now you have only the HULL and the ENGINE (and maybe doors and windows)...she's naked!
As I said I'm interested in understand what you parctically will apply your right attitude to have a roomy space around you even in a tiny boat. Yet voluminous!
If you keep it open, it'll take a lot of calories to heat up and keep warm...
Moreover (and this is NOT a suggestion!) I would put the bed aft: less jumping, lower position, easily separated. And another idea could be to have walls in transparent material (plaxiglass?) so it's closed, but large vision...
Sorry...just giving voice to my thoughts...
LAst thing: watching you going around with snow on the boat (it happened to me only once in all my life!) I had a strong wish to experience that again: it should be incredible to sail while snowing...wow! THanks.
Take care! Have a good beer!
Hugs!
Thanks for your input. :-)
My wish for maximising space (within a small boat) is my desire to move a bit around (walk) while cruising. On my motorboat I have noticed that the space inside the pilothouse is a bit cramp and moving around is really not easy on such a small deck-area. So I listen to my own experience from cruising and remove most of the interior of the Pilothouse, to have more deck-area. It is just customizing for my needs, prioritising. I know it will take more to heat up, but with tiny space I will not go cruising with the boat. So....
I will have one bed aft and one in the bow. Both areas are more or less useless for other purposes due to the shape.
It is ok to speak your mind. I like feedback and creative inputs, as long as it is polite and factual.
The great thing about having such winters is that we gets so happy for each seasonal change. The dark winter is facinating to me. And when winter is over and seeing the sun again and days getting longer is a rush! I think I appreciate sunny days since we have them in limited amounts. It is like life itself. Being middel age I know 2/3 of my days are (statistically) behind me. But there is 1/3 left! So lets make the best out of those. Dont you agree? (sorry for being a bit philosophical there...) :-)
@@hsobstad Surely you have a point!
I look forward for Spring to come to see you reconstructing (it's not refurbishing any more!) and support you in your choices!
Good beer! Hugs!mx
Noticed you have air source heating does it keep the water and house temp warm 🥵 asking from UK
Yes we have an Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-FH35VE air to air heating pump. Pours plenty of heat into the house. Does, however not heat the water. Works great in our climate. Burns ab. 800watts and deliver ab. 4kW.
