Bobby... that cockpit toe jamber is a foot brace. With the cockpit being wide, that is there to provide something to push on when sitting to windward.

Hey Bobby, what a great choice, these vintage Jeanneau’s are built like tanks. Unfortunately when Beneteau took over ownership, eventually they changed to their new building methods. I know this from experience, running my Marine Repair and Service Company in Vancouver BC for 40+ years. I’m pretty sure your yacht still has glassed in Bulkheads and Keel Floors, just the best method out there. Quite a few clients with this era and early ones that were so incredibly built. I’d suggest to anyone looking at circumnavigating, go find a Jeanneau from the 80’s, and before Beneteau completely changed the Contruction method’s. Retired Kiwi.🇳🇿🇨🇦

Steph is a real gem,such a dope Human, take care of her Bobby, one of a kind that one. Stay safe.

When Steph catches up life will be easier. Nice looking temp boat.

Great video Bobby, and great to see how much you have done to the boat, yes the main cabin mattress does look gross, Stephanie and you deserve your comfort having a great bed and nice cabin is essential, and to end a great video is to have Stephanie on it, she seemed very excited to be going to the Seychelles. You two have a great life together, keep it going. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Really nice boat that you have Bobby. I would have thought Steph’s help would have greatly helped this setup.

I love how you give some technical insight about boats and sailing. Please keep doing it. 👌

You're doing such a good job with these videos, and obviously profitably. The travelogue is always worth watching, but the silver lining is enjoying you and Stephanie with each other. There's a nice loving tension, mutual respect and affection that in every case adds to the sailing adventure. It's a positive energy that sort of sets a theme for each video. Congratulations to you both for making such intelligent choices in partners. Who could have known what good would grow from that encounter in Thailand a couple of years ago. Well played, both of you. This is so much more valuable to the product than the itinerant rental eye-candy in the past. Remembering the early videos where you were cleaning out your apartment and setting out with the dogs, it's clear you've made a wonderful and enormously successful transition from aviation to this new career. No more 5-stop days with approaches to minimums. Steve Schroeder

I'll be watching every episode with you and Steph on this boat. I think your gonna have a great summer.

Hello! We are fans from the US and live up in Corfu. We are sailors that went to the “Dark Side” and purchased a 60 foot Fairline. 3:18 We met you in Annapolis. We are the tallest fans you have 6’5 and 6’0. Since you are so close it would be a shame not to at least attempt to meet up. Can’t be that many long term fans this close.

I know I'm late to chime in........It's nice when you find that special someone you want to spend your time with. I've teased you in the past calling you the Hugh Heffner of the high seas. NO MORE! You sir are a stand up guy and have a beautiful woman who loves you and that makes you the best salty sailor in any book. May the wind always be at your back.

CONGRATS on the new monohull Bobby! Smooth sailing around the Med!!

Nice big cockpit for a 37’👍🎉

Hey Bobby, my nephew just retired as a decorated F-18 SuperHornet Naval Aviator currently station in Hawaii. His wife retires in a year and he wants to end up in Florida where he wants to buy a sailboat! I told him a couple of years ago to start watching Sailing Doodles because he would learn a lot from you! I've always said that if you want to buy a boat, buy one Bobby White has owned, because it'll be much better than when he bought it! 😉⛵

Good to see you're still rocking the white frame sunglasses. Loving it. Good luck with the 37'.

Watched since the beginning and can't remember a F Bomb. I'm fine with it, but impressively surprised. 😊😊

Seychelles is on my bucket list. I can't wait to see the videos. Nice boat you have there, Bobby, and for a decent price. I hope you two have a great summer.

So great to find this. As the previous owner glad to see Carmel back on the water. Have good one. And if you swing by Paleros say hello to Elena at the Sextant. Best mezze around.

The best thing in the vid is you two together again.

Great monohull, Bobby. Good decision and s great find. I'm even more excited to watch the new adventures with you and Stephanie. You two are so good for each other and the chemistry comes through in lovely fashion. Stay safe always 💞

Nice to see Stephanie! That’s a nice little boat. At least for the antrum. Great video Bobby thank you.💜 no🤗🫶🪻🇺🇸

Woow, great work done to the boat so far...congrats!!....looks like a great cozy summer for you and Steph sailing around Greece together!!!!....can't wait to watch the videos....take care guys and have fun!!!❤❤

boat work ---> head to turkey! good and cheap! if they can't get a part, they'll make it! very talented folks there.

We have owned a 2006 Jeanneau SO 37 for almost 3 years. After fixing/replacing many things on this boat, we are very happy after sailing her from Florida to the Bahamas this winter and living on her for over 3 months. We love the in-mast furler, had it reconditioned by US Spars in Florida and installed a new mainsail and she is easy to single hand when one of us goes down for a nap or off a night shift. We are a married couple in our 70s and are now planning a trip to the Western Caribbean next season. We also had a custom mattress made for the v berth and enlarged the bed so it is now big enough for 2 people to sleep comfortably. Enjoy your Jeanneau!

Awesome! It's great that you have the knowledge and experience to pick up a good clean boat, understand all the systems, challenges and pitfalls and cruse the med for the summer! Maybe someday I'll be at that level!! Cheers!

Your having fun right? Thats what lifes about have as much FUN as possible

Yay Steph’s back. You had us worried Bobby lol. Everyone loves Stephanie! Great boat too, have fun!

Great video Bobby! I don’t think anyone has ever said you’re afraid of hard work! Great job at getting the new boat up and running!!! Enjoy!! Love the white sunglasses!!

Sounds like a nice plan for the near future Bobby! You da man!

I cannot wait to see your videos around the Seychelles Islands!!! I went there once while in the US Navy, its on my bucket list to go back!! Its absolutely stunning there!!

Have a great time Stephanie and Bobby. You work hard, and play hard; enjoy!

Looks like the making of a great summer! Can't wait to tag along.

WOW Bobby! Nice. You two enjoy. Great to see Steph.

👍☑🏝 gonna be a lot of fun on this boat, can't wait to meet the new crew!

Wow, Bobby I don’t think I’ve ever heard drop the f bomb before, not surprised at all after lugging 2 of those bad boy batteries though, well done!

You had me worried at first weren't going to buy the fancy brand new boat. I can't wait to see it on the water. You and Stephanie as well of course

Nice! -- SUGGESTION -- Have Precision Sails make new sails including the Main sail and lazy bag. Also change that ratty wrap on the helm wheel. Those changes will make this sailboat shine up much much better and will be an easier sale at the end. Precision Sails will be happy to make the new sails if you give them a good promo in the next video. Nothing uglier than crappy baggy sails and ratty wrap on a helm wheel. Just ruins the look of a sailboat.

Cracks me up when people talk about a "Hot Water Heater"...why would need to heat hot water? 😃 It's just a "Water Heater". Thought I would have fun with you. Awesome videos, love the content and honesty when making your videos, Thanks!

Nice...The thing I like about sailing is that you always learn.

Awesome video. Looking forward to watching over the next few months

Great boat tour. Good to see you back on a sailboat.

The teak piece in the cockpit floor is for bracing your legs on a heel.

Congratulation on the "new" monohull! Very nice Jeanneau and in excellent shape. I am pretty excited for both of you and taking her out on the med this summer. Should be some great times until the New Cat is ready. Looking forward to the Seychelles adventures 🙂

Bobby, you are one busy guy! The life you lead makes my head spin, what with all of your world travels & numerous boats!

Nice job handling her, Bobbie! You know your stuff. .man. Looking forward to seeing you in Greece.

Bobby, this is my favorite video in a while… solo, raw, real. Hoping to link up with you next time you’re in Annapolis, take a break and let’s get in the air!

Cool to see the the Cortez Rescue Tee you were wearing. I didn't know you connected with them when you were in Los Barriles. Cool Mono.

Nice boat Bobby! Great video,thanks for sharing and stay safe.

Sounds like a fun summer coming up!

Was wondering what you and Steph were going to do for the Summer season. What a nice boat for the money and well outfitted with your loving care. Look forward to seeing your vlogs from the Seychelles islands 🙂

Funny how a disposable summer boat to you would be a dream boat for me and so many others... Glad you are enjoying life. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures.. cheers!

I'll always love a neat little monohull.

Looks like a great boat, have fun guys.

So enjoyable following along on your journey.......

I learned to sail on one of these. Great boats, and hope to get one when my kids get a little older. Maybe i'll buy this one and sail the world...Sailing Dudles?

Nice boat Looking forward to seeing her under way

Bobby, now this was unexpected. Looks like you have her outfitted nicely. Looking forward to sailing Greece again. I'm half Lebanese and grew up eating Middle-Eastern cuisine. You're going to have plenty of good food choices available in that part of the world. Hi to Steph. Safe travels!

Looking forward to your continued adventures.

I saw the guns bobby while caring the battery. Arms looking good.

I'm back watching again now you're on a proper boat ;-)

Thanks Bobby. You are an inspiration!👍

I started watching because you had the Hatteras. I was really hoping u were going back to something power. Guess not. Now it's time to find a new channel. Take care

Very nice temporary sailboat. It was good to see you dirty and wrenching again. When I started watching you, that was a common acurance. Which was very educational and interesting. Something that will be missed With your new catamaran. I enjoy the top-notch content .Thank you

Very cool! Enjoy your season!

Look at those guns lifting the batteries 😝Can't wait for all the new adventures coming. Nice job Bobby as usual.

I am pretty excited for this :) Congrats, I think that is a good solution for the summer months!

Hi Bobby great video will be watching as our boat is also in lefkas marina. I think chain to ground is to stop corrosion while in chain locker.

Good show! Its fun having you walking through a monohull and calling out the things that matter

You do not have a "hot water header" it is simply a water heater and you are not the only person to make the mistake. I enjoy how complete information you give on your tours.

Actually really enjoyed this episode alot. Feels like it was back to the roots of sailing doodles. I'm some way makes it more relatable for most people being a boat that is achievable rather than the million + sailing palaces. There nice but this is very cool to see how the same views and anchorages can be enjoyed in a smaller boat. We are sailing in Greece this season maybe see you around.⛵👌⛵👌☀️

Looking forward to seeing you sailing around the med.

Bobby = hardest working single sailor. Every boat, every time, replace everything! LOL

I'm so pumped for you guys. Steph is cool. Would love to crew with you. Even buy that boat when your done!

Nice looking boat. I can't wit to see what adventures she takes you to.

Good to see u back with Stef, i think u have good chemistry❤, and love 2 c more adventures from both f u, yaah with a cute both like that, dosen't matter its big r small as long as u r with your soulmate everything will move smoothly..

Welcome to greece bobby and Stephanie and congrats for the new monohull!! I wish you a good vacation and be careful with the ouzo. I have been engaged 3 times with this drink😂

Congratulations on the new to you 🚢 boat

Good decision on the battery replacement!

I'm impressed! twist and go

Wow, to go off under motor only without hanking on any sails. No dinghy ready to take on the duty if your main engine gives up on you. Incredible. 😮

Cool boat, and it looks like you got a great deal on it. Well done!

Gongratulations.....On the Jeanneau!!!!!!!

Groovy video....Sailing Greece, very cool; love Greece. The food, the food.

Nice yea will be a great boat to purchase for someone who is starting out blue water cruising. safe sailing

Bob, The Jeannea/Bennetu boats had problems with keel bolts coming loose, you might want to check them out. Check the stuffing box seal too. Don't forget to snub the anchor. Update bilge pumps also. Does the EPRB work, cruising lights, comms, and AIS?? One more check, the steering cable for wear and the sheaves/pulleys.Get a bosun seat in case you need to go up the mast. Usual oil and fuel filters and impeller for water pump. VHFantenna cable and connections,waterproof all cable connections with good electrical tape. Guess thats it.

Nice boat, look forward to see the videos around Greece

Congrats on the new boat..

I had one , Great little boats , The 2 cabin version is the best , Sail well to , Good move replacing batteries ' Water maker , Genset , hey well set up for a 37 footer .

Great idea for summer adventure!

You are my hero of spontaneity!

Going to be cool seeing you two in the Seychelles but honestly I'm looking forward to you sailing Carmel. Pretty amazing little vessel that doesn't know it's only a 37' yacht. I doubt I can do it but I'd love to be able to purchase her from you when you're done with her...

Your a well trusted Sailor💫

That is awesome sailing Bobby!

Great boat! Love the video.

Thanks for a great vid! I have been in love with the Jeanneau SO37 for so long, saving up to buy one. Gonna enjoy following along this season! 💪😎 If you got singlehanded sailing tips for this boat in this season share! 😉

Good call. Loved the Greece footage!!

65-75k Wow! Happy Sailing!

Great video. Thanks a lot.

Great looking boat Bobby!

Very nice yacht!
