We are enjoying you two. we are sailors since 2004 and I have to help you newbies with boating terms. anchoring is just that you are on anchor. Ya'll are at dock. made me smile, love seeing newbies!

In the water and gator bait!!! No, no! In any case, high points for the dismount! Nice job and ingenuity on making your material work. Anyone can just throw dollars at it. And your end product looks great. You and Matt are a great team.

Nice job Jessica! Wish you all the luck on your next adventure. Be safe!

Great job on that Stack Pack. I spent $1200 on one last year for a Sabre 34. I never could take could have done one myself. One tip the maker told me for the rigging was to attach the top blocks to the spreaders and not the mast which will give it a wider area for the sail to fall.

Great Job!! Looks very nice

You done awesome job on that pack deer don't sell yourself short you are a beautiful seamstress... You are very blessed to have the talent to be able to do stuff like that I couldn't sew a straight life my life depended on it...LOL,LOL. . Awesome video thanks for sharing be blessed...BBE.

Great job on the stack pack. Jessica is pretty handy to have around! Personally, I've always preferred a traditional cover for the overall look, but there is no denying that this setup makes life a lot easier. You guys are getting there!

Another job very well done. The more I see of your boat the better I like the look of your boat. The Navy isn't painting the hulls of the LCS class ships and no one appears unhappy with that now that its been that way for several years.

Wow! I wish I would have seen this video a litle sooner, I just had a stack pack made by North Sails in Milford, CT. Although it's still being shipped to me I paid 1350.00 for it. Yours came out terrific so far! Not sure I could have done all the sewing but I could have done a bit of it (the straight parts maybe) and asked my sister to do the tricky stuff. Live and learn. I'm sure this gonna give it a try next time around! Great Job!

Can't believe a couple your age having such DIY talent! Seems like a rarity in this day and age. Seems like you tackle, and conquer everything you tackle. Great job!

Walking around a marina is like looking at a platt of homes build by the same person your boat and colors are a welcome change great choice of colors for your boat 🚣

Details, details, details! You have an incredible amount do talent, passion, and patience for the task at hand. Looking great as well. Thanks for the update and video of your night out. "Fixer-Upper" ha ha ha ha ha......you so funny! All the best and God bless.

Great Job on the sewing machine without any exprience .

Great job!

Nice work on the stack pack. You are very talented lady. Both of you show your love for your boat. God bless.

boat is looking great :)

First off, love the color you chose! Really does go well with the raw hull look. You are one amazing seamstress for sure. Your attention to detail is obvious and so is the finished product.

Very nice video as usual. Keep up the great work!

An idea for a step to get on and off the boat..tie on a boat fender horizontally, it makes a great step that will not damage the hull

you two are just so talented. you both have done an amazing job on an amazing boat...looking forward to the next video...

Nice work on the stack pack! I used the Sailrite tutorial two years ago to build a stack pack for a friend's Jeanneau 45 which just completed a 12,000 nm circuit of the Pacific (for which I was aboard for the first 6,000 nm. The pack held up very well. Sunbrella is great stuff if you protect it from chafing. I made a few mods but found the tutorial to be very good. I included the mast boot with zippers on both sides for easy removal.

Wow that pack looks soooo nice. The color really does suit the theme of your boat, and I can really appreciate the weeks of work that went into it! Excellent custom job! Now if I can only have the guts to do the same thing!

Sailrite, they are good people. Nice work.

Always enjoy watching your videos. Very well produced and great commentary. Your really going to love sailing her,, all over the world !!!

Sailrite is AWESOME!! I own one of their machines and have been busy making all kinds of projects. Their tutorials are awesome!! You two will achieve the world by working together!

As other have said, very nice job! You two are getting closer to blue water! GOD bless, JC

Love your videos and seeing your detailed work come to life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and a tiny bit of your life with the world. You're an inspiration. Don't know if you'll still be around but we might be neighbors in a week or two. I'm taking delivery of my first sailboat and headed over to Indiantown Marina to join in the boat-working, storm-running, mosquito-swatting, sweat-pouring fun of a Florida boat yard in the summer time. I hope to run into you two if you're still around. BTW - Next time you're out on the town there are two restaurants you should definitely visit. One is called Leftovers Cafe in Jupiter and the other is directly across the road from Rocco's.. It's Christopher's Kitchen. Leftovers has some great seafood plates (and other things) and don't miss the raspberry key lime pie (if you're a Key Lime-aholic). Christopher's is a vegan restaurant (slightly pricey) but coming from me, a meat-asaur, I can tell you that I could easily become a vegan eating food like that. The avocado pizza is awesome (sounds strange but trust me.. it delicious).

Well damn, I found you guys two years too late. I live in PSL and am just now getting into wanting a boat and a change of life. I am also from Michigan but moved here to Florida in 1984. I could of lent a hand and learned so much from both of you. If you come to the area again and need anything DM me. I was looking at a boat on Ebay in your area, steel hull, red and white. Would really love it but not ready yet.

Next time you need long straight lines like that for cutting or sewing, you might want to try a chalk line, cheap, fast and accurate. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Sailrite is awesome, I have one of their LSZ ultra feed machines as well and it is great to work with. They blow everybody else away with customer service and their videos you referenced allow me too to do things I would not otherwise know where to start. Too much fun.

Very nice! Looks like the Sailrite video.

Stepping on & off the boat. 1- plank of wood. 2- drill four holes. 3- place string through holes. 4- Attach two hooks. 5- Attach hooks to boat deck lip. Enjoy

Great job and color, your boat looks great after all your hard work, looking forward to watching more video's

Great video! Love what you have done.

great work.

looks great, we are restoring a bayliner 2958 Avanti & have been studying the sailrite video's also. Very helpful to hear what you paid for material & to watch you tackle the project!

Very cool color, more interesting then the standard blue. And Zima, who knew that was still being made!

Hey, for a novice seamstress, not bad, infact, great job. Thumb's up you legends 👍 😆.

I like the green color!

Love your work Jessica. I'm a cameraman based in New Zealand. Keep that lens clean !

LOOK incredible all your hard work really paid off Thanks for the sharing

Looking good guys! Your videos have come a long way in a short time since I started watching! I can't wait till you're out showing us the world! Jealous as always! Oh and the boat looks killer!

Very nice cover...really like the different color! Sets your boat off nicely. You both do good work and I wish even half my boat projects turned out as nice! Regards.

Nice job Jess! Looks great on Elements.

Wow, you did a great job. It's beautiful ! I love it!!

Jessica jumps right in and is apparently unafraid to try her hand at anything and once again she does a great job. It would be extra work but that sail cover would look awesome with your vessels name brazened on it.

Now you need those boat decals for the sailpack

What a fascinating place where you are. I live in Coronado Island in San Diego on the southwestern part of the U.S. and would love to see this area. My buddy works at Pratt & Whitney on the highway to Indian town and has a home in West Palm Beach I'm going to make a point of visiting him before he returns to So Cal. He doesn't like it there but I find it very interesting. Hey, your boat is looking pretty good! Still think it would look cool with yellow epoxy polymide above the waterline. My background is aerospace and nothing is left bare metal.

nice work!

Great job on the stack pack, considering you did not have a big flat factory table to lay and sew on! I have to admit, at first I was not sure about the looks of your unpainted hull, but the more I see it, the more I like it. Keep up your excellent work. Greetings from Quebec Canada 👍

your boat look nice

Good job girl! You are awesome!

Thanks another great one

looks great

Looks nice! You did a very good job

Love the color of your stack pack!! Forget the naysayers... Really great job you did. I'm truly impressed by both your can do attitudes mostly because I feel the same. It's kinda a little late, but look into Tenara thread by Gore. It'll last WAY longer than dacron, so you won't have to be restitching everything you make in a few years. Just made my dodger with it. Good luck and keep up the good work!!!

I made the same stack pack earlier this year. I used the polyester webbing they suggested, but it has already failed. I would recommend going with a heavier nylon. I've replaced some of it and it's working fine. Can't wait to see how you tackle the dodger, that's next on my list.

I must say..... You did a fantastic job on the Stack pack ! It looks great and the color is perfect with the overall look you were looking for with the aluminum hull .... And.... your graphics you went with. Are you using more of the same color fabric? If so.... cool deal ! If you use a different color fabric...... I say cool also...as that will again highlight what I believe the look your going for. I love your sailing vessel and what you have done with it. I would be so proud to be sailing her ! :)

Secret boating plans...very james bond.....considering an ais search will locate them in a few seconds

👌👌👌

This is when long legs come in handy getting on/off the boat with the high water... 😉

i hope you can get out to sea before the hurricanes start coming in.

This is off topic>>> I keep thinking about all of that freeboard and then adding another hard dodger... the pilot house sticks up so high as it is. I just worry about your LOA vs freeboard & horsepower in a storm. The silhouette is more like a motor sailor than an ocean crossing vessel. Though great for Island hopping. Maybe a soft Dodger is more flexible in weather???

That Sail really does look Great! & You look even better!! That's an Awesome Tan your wearing!!! Love your channel & can't wait to see you two sailing on an Ocean! Can I start holding my breath or is it still a bit too early for that? In other words do you guys have an official launch date yet?? ;~))

Suggest: outlining the Boat Logo in Black or White so that the log pops.

Despite all things......you are floating.......

Don't want to be critical, but having said that, it would be much appreciated if you could find a way to turn up the volume. I find it very difficult to hear the audio even with volume turned up to 100%. Other than that complaint, I love what you guys are doing, and sharing it with us all! Thanks. Don

Good Job! It's is nice to see something other than that horrible pacific blue!

Have you investigated the photodurability of the ginko green? The reason all sail covers, biminies and stack packs are either the ubiquitous navy blue or that one oxblood maroon is that those dyes have a proven longevity in the sun. Please investigate this. You did a magnificent job, Jessica, but I would love to know it's going to last.

This boat is starting to look too pretty let's get some fish guts on it and some salt water crust oh and PS wonderful Job on the stack pack I love that diagonal line and I agree the boat emblems would look great on it, please don't put your website address on it anything but that maybe try tying Zima bottles to it , oh I just kill myself ack ack ack.

Hi guys, thanks for your videos, great to see you guys are ahead of me and have finished your compost toilet. I know you guys are going to talk about it later but can you please share the size of the fan you''ve use and what sort of noise level does it produce also if it is enough to dry all waste and prevent downdraft? thanks and regards from New Zealand

I think I missed something... the pack zips over the sails when they are lowered. How are the port & starboard sides fastened to the boom? Are the twist locks passed under the boom and then twisted shut fastening the pieces together? If fastened above the boom, how is the main rigged to the boom? Another great video!

hey, i've been to that bar....

Do not respond to negative comments. They are always far below you and your genuine followers. With enormous love, ROD UK

That green with your bare aluminum hull looks great, they really compliment each other. How do you plan to set up the stack pack cover for when you reef the sails?

Do you think that I could get by with a Singer sewing machine to create a stack pack? or would I need a heavy duty model to sew through the Sunbrella. Thanks

Hi you guys, I've got the same Sailrite kit. My daughter and I have finished the hardest part, which I think is mostly the layout and zipper install. Did you guys use the Tanya thread ? Also, I wanted to make a couple of adjustments from the Sailrite plans, which were to add reinforced nylon webbing to the lazyjack attachments. One other question, have you tested reefing the main sail yet?

Zomething different. ;-)

One question. Why a yacht with a tiller as apposed to a helm's wheel?

Did the painted walls in the kitchen have any influence on color decision making (subliminal msg here) ? They look almost identical, from my screen anyway:)....looks great, I use a little darker shade of green in my home, mainly because I hear 'these' green colors are a sign of intelligence.

Ok for your opening sequence your logo's second icon is completely washed out by the setting sun...it might look better either moving the logo or using a different picture.

Did you used to work at spencer ocean?

Have you guys tried to reef the main with the stack pack?

Question......Is that damage on the starboard bow about 1 foot up from the water line?

i can't even get to my boat because my fixed dock is under water for the first time in 6 years that i have been on santa fe lake

Did you teach the Teho crew Euchre?

Why you guy's don't turn the boot around stern firts.

What did you pay per month while on the hard? I just checked a place in San Diego and it is $100 per day,,, they said we might be able to discount a little for a month or more,,, for the work being done I could pay someone to do it for that price,,,, welcome to California 🙄

You need ballast o_~ So, Throw the cat litter in the bilge from now on... Lol !! and/or eat more food... o_~

Those eyes will rust and ruin.. Why not use heavy Velcro? Simpler, faster, stable and can't rust your pack and sails.

🤔🤔

That's a lot of tedious work to mark out a straight line like that. You might want to google "how to use a chalk line" if you ever have to do something like this, again.

What is it with beautiful women and sailboats?

Hey ! Make me a stack pak, but not baby shit green please....
