Hi Pat. Fantastic job. Enjoyed the video . I had a little bit of sadness at the end but very happy for you. You actually achieved what i wanted to do to her when I first acquired her. I was told that she was in working order and ready to sail. She was bought for me by my wife and sons as a Fathers Day present. Bought sight unseen. When i first got to visit and see her my heart dropped. I was committed as money had changed hands. I spent the next 2 years trying to do odd bits during the little spare time I had on weekends I was not working. I then realised that I was not seeing much of my family. After a very brief discussion with a very understanding and accommodating wife we moved the boat into the front garden. I have some pictures of this if you would like to add to the portfolio. She was in my front garden for about 10 years. I did little bits when I could, busy work schedule including weekend callouts. I took the odd week off now and then to try to make a bit more headway. Finally it got to the point where I was not proceeding and actually things seemed to be going backwards as work I had done now needed doing again. I lost heart and also faith in myself. I asked several people would they like to take on a project. I enquired about boat salvage, I now know where pirates work. Eventually I had a few enquiries, one seemed very positive, but his wife was diagnosed with cancer, if he is reading this I hope she is doing ok and wish her well. Then one day a very friendly chap came by whilst my wife and I were cleaning our motorcycles. He asked about the boat. I offered to him that if he wanted it then it was his. Pat that chap of course was you. I am proud to be one of your friends and extremely pleased with what you have done with Serenity. She looks great sails well. looks good in the pictures and video and is a credit to you, your hard work and your dedication. My sadness at the end of the video was just a realisation of what I wanted to achieve but couldn't, But I do feel uplifted watching the video and hearing you talk about her. A big well done from me.

I'm not usually one to comment on a video but you really did a fantastic job restoring her and making this video. The progress; showing the stages and dedication and the choice of soundtrack complete the video. Certainly, a fine combination, rare outside of dedicated documentaries. 10/10 Wishing you happy sailing, from a fellow boater, who's vessel is under construction.

Bravo! Great to see a boat saved, restored and back to her purpose. Well done!

You have obviously put hours of unseen work into this yacht. Excellent video and soundtrack.I found the whole thing very relaxing. Looking forward to your next.

Anyone who saves an old boat that might otherwise be scraped or cut up is a HERO, thanks for being a Hero.

Aw she's absolutely gorgeous, what a wonderful and worthwhile thing to do!, it's the most beautiful and inspiring restoration video I've seen for a long time, and with the way this stupid human race is carrying on at the moment it is very refreshing, and I love the music. Many thanks and my best wishes. Gérard lacey in Ireland. X.

By the Nine! I see you’ll be staying off the roads using this vessel It’s the Deadra you see! Nice vessel

Great job, the music alone told the story which I thoroughly enjoyed👏🏾

Hi Pat ! You did a remarkable job on your lovely little boat - i love the finish! Just working on my old (english !) HALCYON 23 from early 70ies to bring sea-life back to her (and me :)) I bought it several months ago and refurbishing it to sail on dutch seas at the Ijsselmeer. Best regards, Linus

I could have kept watching for hours. Wonderful video, wonderful work.

What a wonderful video, a lovely old sailboat saved and beautifully recommissioned with an immense amount of hard work and an eye for detail. I wouldn't have been put off by how she first appeared, because with the hull, cabin and cockpit fibreglass being in good condition, the rest is straightforward. Lengthy, hard work and expense, but straightforward nonetheless. And what a transformation you achieved, outstanding. Subscribed.

Oh man I can relate. I refurbished a 23 McGregor and it took me three years. It's a lot of work but I must say you did a smashing good job..

Hello mate! fantastic job on the boat! glad to see your doing well! Bestest regards, Little Sam!

Beautiful... both the boat and the video.

Nice paint job. All that hard work paid off, what a beautiful boat. Lucky new owner.

Добре і поетичне відео - огортає радість при перегляді... удачі автору.

Great job, love the music too.

Great vid….. fantastic transformation

What a fabulous film - Thank you 😊

Oh, that poor baby... Thank you for bringing her back to life!

Oblivion game music fits in perfectly. Thank you very much kind sir! ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️

Ficou muito bom, lindo seu barco !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Neat old lightship at 9:25. Those are almost gone in the states and I have never seen one in person. Great restore! I am thinking the one under the tarpaulin moored next to you has some stories too.

Beautiful! Fine job!

Nice job. Love Tollesbury 👍

A lovely restoration well done well presented especially the music

There is a special place in heaven for the folk that bring old sailing boats back. Superb video, thanks.

Hi a good working sailboat. I like sailboat hugs

Fantastic restoration. Beautiful boat!!

Great work pat. Looks amazing! Those arial shots where incredible, really she’s off what you have achieved. Been wondering what you have been up to.

Great job! 👍

What a lovely project !

Well done. Have a lot of fun with this beauty. Best regards from Mannheim, Germany Jürgen

Inspiring. Great work. A striking paint job, as well! I also love your choice of music for the video. Can you tell me what it is?

"By Azura, by Azura, by Azura! It's the Grand Champion! I can't believe it's you! Standing here! Next to me!"

Nice work!!!!

Awesome restoration job.

Impressive boat, I have a 1964 Pearson Commander 26' that I'm trying to restore. Your boat reminds me a lot of my own and your video gives me a lot of inspiration and motivation to see my boat get completed and have many hours of adventures on the bay and ocean. I'm curious to know why you chose the color black on the top side, I like the color but have been told by many boat owners that its a no no because of the heat absorption from the sun and the burn injuries from its hot surfaces on skin. But in all I like and appreciate small sailboats because these are easier to singlehandedly sail and find berthing most anywhere in the world. Thank you for your video.

Was this filmed in the Norfolk Broads in England? I lived on the Suffolk Coast for two years in the late 1970's during my USAF days. Great job sir. I am currently restoring a Victoria 18 here in the states.

Ficou lindíssimo!!

Parabéns pelo capricho e determinação

Wow great job!

That boat was happy to be brought back to life....

It’s a wonderful thing to see a rebirth. Warms the heart.

Cheers from 20’ Havsfidra 1971 y.! 🤝

You must love working on Boats .

Oblivion, very nice

Love it!!

Nice work done on your boat

Wish I had the space to do the same. I love sailing boats.

Nice Job Well done ⛵

You have done a nice BOAT out of a wreck. The absence of speaking is especially fine! Good luck, see you at sea!👏

Ready for the R2AK race!

next level restoration👍

Достойная работа! Я тоже восстановил парусную лодку 21 фут.

nice little boat, nice video, it must have a swing keel. i have a 1969 Newport 16

will be a nice design for getting in shallow waters

what kind of boat is it ? looks like a pearson . where do you sail from ?

Just amazing and refreshing …

멋지네요 Very nice video

What music is that? Very fitting,

In the opening scenes of the video I thought she was heading to the rubbish heap. She sure cleaned up nicely though. Well done sir!

Nice

We must always chase our dreams, without a dream there’s no life.

Bit of work to bring this one back, but a bit of elbow grease and some TLC, she'll look a treat!

Still nice

Well done

@ 1:42 at least the fire extinguisher looks fresh

I recognize Tollesbury!..lol

Is that a Caprice 19?

Is that a Neptune?

Good 👍

👍

Great video amazing location could use more bikini clad girls and rum ! Haha just kidding that was great!

Siento envidia, me gustaría hacer lo mismo y perderme en el horizonte

Yes my friend she dies have a soul and now she is singing

🥲

Nice job 👍🏻

Well done on the rescue. Looks to be a late model Caprice 19. If so, a chap called Shane Acton sailed one around the world en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_Acton
