CILLIT BANG , TOP OF THE LIST TO BUY, EVEN OUR LOCKERS ON THE RIB , SUFFER IN THE WINTER . Great work your doing ,ready for sunny days . Well done all round .

buy a dehumidifier and leave it running overnight and when you are on the boat as one of the main causes of damp is your own breath

As someone who lived in a van, through several winters, a dehumidifier is a must as insulation will not remove the moisture, it will just be absorbed by anything hydroscopic (mattress, clothing). You spend a lot of time in bed, so worth every penny... A cockpit enclosure doubles the living space (like a free standing awning) The joy of a 'small job'... kicking over 'rocks' reveals the hidden craziness 🙏 Good luck 🤞🍀

Lovely film chaps, well done. One word though... Dehumidifier!

Bit of an expert on your damp and heating problem, spent 3 seasons sorting the problems of winter on a boat. Only now am I happy, sorry is the wife happy with the results. First you need at least 10mm closed cell foam insulation, preferable aluminium backed. The bubble wrap stuff is useless, or close to useless. I did the tests myself using 5mm thick which was ok down to 5C outside, but below zero you will need 10-15mm, or even 20mm if it will fit. Once you have insulated all the spaces you can get to you will find the problem continues out of site behind panels or deckhead you cant remove. I had loads of such spaces, here I used the fireproof insulation foam, it's a hell of a messy job, but it was well worth it. One problem you will now have is getting the materials as so much stuff is now "out of stock". For the hatches I lined the external covers with closed cell insulation, fixed the condensation on the frames problem. I also found out that some Lewmar hatches have a small void around the edges if you remove the cover, which allows for some insulation material, not sure if this is by design, but worked for me. I also use a dehumidifier as your breathing and cooking will not help, mine is a traditional one so not much use when the heating is not running, so planning on fitting the one in the link below. This design can avoid the trip hazard of the usual units. To reduce the diesel consumption I use a re-cycle line on the outside air inlet, this adjusts allowing some fresh air to mix with the warm internal air. I note you have to leave hatches open to get fresh air, I would strongly recommend the heater inlet takes the air from well away from the heater. I used the same CO detectors as you have, but found out the hard way they are not sensitive enough, I how have ones that alarm at 10ppm. Despite having the suction air primarily from the outside on one very still frost morning the exhaust gasses hung around the outside of the boat and eventually started getting into the suction, when I tried to get up I nearly collapsed from the fumes. The detectors were reading around 15ppm, but the alarm did not activate. I think they go off at 150ppm. Try using cleaning vinegar, gets rid of mould internal and external.

Oh that bed sure needs a solid foundation and waterproofing and the 40 year old wiring rats nest looks daunting but a great project. Lock down jobs are being done!! Loved the video and can't wait for your summer to make its appearance. Pats to Hanky🐾🐾🌬⚓😎🇦🇺

Thanks guys great upgrades for long time crusing 👏👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛵

All of the work you have going on are essential things to improve your quality of life! Nothing wasted here. That wiring was scary, but not only will the boat be safer you will have a better understanding of how it all works if there is trouble in the future. Time well spent!

Another amazing video. Can't wait to see the boat when it's all done!

Funny that you mentioned Mads. Man, that guy is like a legend in the DYI boat refitting community. Watching him makes me feel as if I can refit a boat as well.

For your electrical cabinet, I would epoxy the wood attachment surfaces to the inside of the hull first and then insulate. I can't imagine a way to do it with the insulation going up first. I would coil and stow those extra wires for a while until I was sure I wasn't going to add anything later. You can always add LED lighting inside the cabinet and they usually work with smaller capacity wires. There are 24" square, snap together rubber foam panels used as exercise mats or soft flooring for work benches that could work well as interior insulation for cabinets and hull. One of the easiest ways to reduce the condensation inside the boat is to STOP exhaling while aboard! ;) 12VDC fans in every space helps move the heated air around to help keep that humidity in gas form in the air until you can get it properly dehumidfied. With a complete canvas enclosure, you can vent your cabin air into the cockpit and the humidity can condense on the plastic windows.

Great video as usual guys, love the content, you guys keep it real and are great. Keep it up.

"I'm just going to do a bit of sanding and some varnishing" ... that's what I said 4 years ago too ;) Just kidding :) Great job as always guys! It's funny I was painting the lockers over the v-berth and messing around in my electrical area today. Came back to Obelix to see the two of you doing the same thing. I hope we get to spend some time together when Ava and I make it to the UK :)

Thanks for the inspiration guys. Just realised it IS a priority to start insulating cupboards and buying comfy new bed stuff! On it too!

Hi, I love your videos and I live on a boat too. I've encountered all the problems you have and ill share what I've learned. First tip I was told was buy a meaco dd8l, absolutely transformed my life onboard. You must seal all your vents, I cut out spare mattress foam to use as bungs, and seal your hatch. I used the silver insulation you have along with self adhesive magnetic tape, the one which sticks to itself which is about 20-25mm wide. Being a dessicant dehumidifier it produces heat too. Air flow around the boat is vital, I use computer case fans which are 12v DC anyway, Artic F8 works really well and run some speaker wire to connect, held up again with the magnetic tape, all available on ebay. I made window covers too with the silver foil stuff with self adhesive velcro. They work when you have them on the outside along with rare earth magnets as extra holding power as they work through the glass, never lost one in any blow, completely eliminated all window condensation. My small portholes I use foam bungs on the outside and they work a treat. Sure it's not beautiful but it makes your boat a home and very comfortable.

We found bathroom carpet very useful, it looks better than the insulation on visible walls/backs of cupboards and for some reason condensation doesn't form on it, not just because of the insulation the pile seems to help. We had fibreglass both sides of the fore cabin berth and the mattress would be soaking in the morning where it touched the walls, the bathroom carpet completely solved it (when we went to buy the carpet the chap in the shop said his biggest customers were canal boats, to stop the condensation). Also get a Desiccant dehumidifier, much lighter than the compressor type and completely changes the boat, put it on high with the cabin door shut and a couple of hours later you have a dry room and bed.

Another great video ! Full of content ! I always look forward to seeing a new video notification. Keep up the great work !

The key words regarding condensation is “Thermal Break” to prevent the warm moist air contacting the cold outer surfaces. Aluminium window frames have a strip of plastic to create a thermal break to prevent the cold conducting to the inside surfaces. Nice video 👍👍

Really great video, and some great technical and detailed info on what it's like to live on a boat in the UK over winter - thank you!

Last year had the same re-wiring project for the same reason, having said that mine did not start off quite as bad as your boats. I used DIN rails for almost everything, breakers, terminals, AIS, Victron units, even the Nav PC, this is the standard on the really big boats. (I used to work on one). I made the DIN rail suggestion to Sail Life channel and he went with this idea looks good. Have a look before you start reconnecting. Like the idea of insulation, overlooked this section of the boat as it was too complex to fit, starting to regret it now.

You and Carlie make everyday boat life interesting Thanks for demonstrating the importance of insulation in cold climates. the New style marine fuse boards help with organizing and cleaning up wiring. Well Done.

Boys toys= Radar Lady of the boat=comfort Condensation is hard to eradicate, cold bridging from exterior to internal surfaces, moisture vapour from breath, cooking, shower etc is the cause, the only way is the insulation and ventilation, the latter with a dehumidifier fan is difficult in a boat but not impossible, airflow is needed in and out. Whilst the diesel heater is helping it’s only circulating the condensation to cold surfaces unless it’s drawing air from exterior. If no airflow it’s like trying to suck air from a bottle. I don’t believe a mattress will stop your sheets from damp, it’s only a mattress with air holes and what that isn’t soaking up is going somewhere else. Spent 20+ years working with these problems albeit on properties but same principles, it’s good practice to wipe surfaces down before insulation with anti mould solution to stop spore growth behind household bleach does exact same thing.(corks/cover on bolts, metal surfaces with direct contact to exterior etc is also not a daft idea at all) If your stuck pls shout me I can give you info via email. All the best P.S. went to a boat on the hard with water sitting in the bilge for a longtime as I hung the vhf microphone up water poured from it due to condensation from a summer with water in the boat.

We have equal anti condensation system underneath our madrasses, works as miracle. Dry air in, let the heater take air from the outside. The air will drop to below RF 40 %. And let the air vent out at the far end from warm air in. Insulation is a must.

Bed is definitely high priority it’s where you recharge.

Love the banter and metaphors. I'll be back.👍

Great stuff.

Omg! I didn’t know about the doggy accessories! Excellent idea 💡

The two of you are doing good. Tackle your projects one by one and take your time going it right. In your spare time HAVE FUN too.

Very inspiring guys. I’m finding this lockdown really hard and difficult to get motivated at all,despite having many jobs to do. Can’t get to my boat either which doesn’t help. Your videos do help my mood. Hope you sort the damp issue as that can be frustrating. Stay safe. Andy UK

I can just about see my boat in the back round when you are talking in the dinghy haha. I'm living on a boat in Merlin Quay. I have a desiccant dehumidifier that does a really good job of keeping the damp and condensation out.

I’m sure that’s whats Mads said four years ago.. ‘I’m just going to do a bit of varnishing’ .....

Theres always someone that will say "you should have done this way". I bet when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon there was someone say "I wouldn't have done it that way" I'm stripping back my wood on my westerly riviera, take a look at one on line you wouldn't have to worry about not being able to look out. I started with a heat gun but soon went over to screwfix no nonsense paint and varnish sripper. Will done love the videos keep it up.

Another excellent video 😀 Good bedding, definitely an essential. In our camper we have the Froli system on which our mattress sits. It adds to the cushioning effect of the mattress as well as providing very good air flow. Our boat will have a different system, Calypso bed springs as it has a lifting bed. Also, try cleaning with pure Clove oil, only a couple of drops in a cleaning solution. This will help stop any regrowth of mould. It smells nice too but not as nice as Hank after a wet walk 🤣

Very good idea to run those mouse lines. Good thinking👍.

Enjoyed the 'tiny' title - try a 34 footer! A dehumidifier keeps our boat dry and assists heating in the cold. But in humid and equally mouldy tropical areas you're unlikely to have mains power since you'll be on anchor much of the time. Insulating won't help there. We keep all our clothes in plastic boxes which protects them where-ever we cruise.

Great to see your new video and all your handiwork - both of you! early happy Birthday to Carly as well! That spaghetti looks daunting, it sounds like a great idea putting mousing lines through as you remove unused cables. I guess you could tie two mousing lines to one to give you a replacement option if you ever do use one of the mousing lines? & it is great to see parts of Southampton and the Itchen again - we had a nice walk down from Winchester to Woolston a couple of years ago - you could take Hank on the train to Winchester and walk back, its all downhill from there ;) Keep safe and thanks for the updates.

If you have any varnish left to tackle, try cabinet scrapers. Flat blade for large areas, detail tool for... the details and corners (you can get a selection of profiled blades). Leaves a much cleaner surface. I use Bahco. Good luck. Great content!

if you can, put a heating vent in the cockpit, "Ran Sailing" who are based Sweden did it , also Mads of Sailing Life was planning to do the same. To go with the cockpit cover

Good move re wiring! 👍🏻

Have you thought about spray foam. I have it on my narrowboat although admittedly the Hull is metal. Try clingfilm style double glazing for the windows. It's super cheap from screwfix or toolstation. About 5 /6 quid for the kit which includes double sided tape. The only tools you need are scissors and a hairdryer.

Planning on a new mattress ourselves. So keen to see how you get on. I have a couple of roughly quarter sheets (very roughly 1m by 1m) of Marine plywood 3mm and 9mm on-board in Ocean Village if you want them of the nav station (FOC).

Condensation is awful especial on bolts coming through the hull. I have always found 4 way stretch carpet, spray on glue, make sure you get the right temp setting. Spray on stick on. It looks good, is warm and stops condensation, well it has in my boats. Good look with whatever you do. Love the videos.

Electrics are easy for someone logical like you, just remember that 99% of DC problems is loss of ground. You three are busy with never a dull moment. What more could you ask for during this pandemic. Stay healthy and keep making you outstanding videos, Adi 😎💕🙏

There's always another job that needs doing on board isn't there! Never a quiet moment. We agree with Carly - a comfy bed is a big priority! You spend 8 hours a day in it so it's gotta be good! Your current bed set up is reminding us of the princess and the pea so we can't wait for you to see how much difference your new mattress will make, I'm sure after sleeping on the new one it will convince Dom that it was money well spent!

You definitely need an active vent at the very least. The insulation will definitely help slow the condensation, but you need to get the water vapor out of the boat. The fact that you have three water-vapor-exhaling beings on board 24/7 makes that even more challenging. Great channel!

Omg I need some canvas work done ! First its "tektanks" and now "Shoreham canvas" ..... anymore links you want to divulge!! Lol Well done dom 👏 👍

Totally agree with getting rid of the daisy chaining, individual wires mean if something fails then everything else keeps going

👍 good work by all. Windows will always have moisture. You can try (saved) clear bubble wrap. p.s. metalic window frames will still need to be wiped, too. BTW, don't look to hard down that tunnel at the light... It's just someone else looking at your light (torch) down his tunnel. 😎 Oh GLORIOUS varnishing. Kinda will make MADS smile.

Carly, you should not wrap the lines around your hand when hoist/pulling on them. If the force against you is stronger it will break a bone or two in your hand or even worse. Just trying to keep you safe until the new mattress arrives. Thanks for taking me along on your life's journey.

Nice video.

looking forward to a before and after on that spiders web of wiring! Great job tackling that! Wiring scares me!

Good video, you two are putting in a lot of hard work to keep your dream afloat. It is not all plane sailing but I am sure it will pay off and one day you will be in tha Caribbean with no condensation. Lol 😂

I have anti condensation layer & it is a waste of time. I do have it turned up at the sides as well. Perhaps wooden strips with air gaps between would be better. The sprung strips one gets from IKEA have been suggested to me.

Good update, I've read through the comments and will add this: 1. Mattress, yep double up, we got a 4inch memory foam topper, and quilted mattress protectors 2. Be careful with mousing wires, it's not uncommon to pull them through and cause damage to other wires by cutting through the conductor insulation, ideally pull through wires in bunches together. 3. Is your shore power included in marina fees? Because I'd be running two dehumidifiers fore/aft. That's alot of condensation, inevitable on a live aboard in sea temperatures of around 9C right now, might be colder where you are? Think about it 9C outside, 5-8mm grp separating inside temperatures of 18-21C? Perfect recipe for condensation. There's just no getting away from it but heat and ventilation=money. Up the dehumidifier use and continue insulation, but be aware that your trying to do a summer job in cold damp conditions, if insulation is not done properly you can get something called interstitial condensation, so that can cause insulation peel off, rot wood, etc. 4. Varnishing? Don't apply any type of coating in less than 10C or humid, they're jobs for late spring summer, dry, warm, ventilated. You might get away with it but all paint coatings etc like over 10C and dry. Varnishes can bloom, and paints can take an age to dry, or fail later. 5.keep chipping away and smiling 😃

dehumidifier is what you want, from a three English winter live aboards, on in bed room during the day, salon during the night.

Check out what Tom Cunliffe has to say about stoves. It will take a bit of reengineering and fuel has to be stowed, but they suck 1000's of litres of moist air straight up the chimney.

Welcome to the joys of renovating a secondhand yacht, (mine is 1979 cat based on the dart) A tip from me - get one project finished (or as near as damn it) before you start another otherwise you will end up with it looking far worse while you get them all sorted. I am planning on putting 50mm Celotex under, and a sheet of memory foam on top of the matress. I sleep on one at home and cannot recommend it enough.

I'm not sure of they will help much, but one thing we use when we are on Bill are small "bag" like dehumidifiers (search up "bag dehumidifier" on amazon and you will see what i mean). They are basically just big 1kg bags of silica gel... Another great video anyway, and hope the cable maze isn't too bad 😂

You guys are adorable...going to -40C again here. We can walk if we want to here in this part of Canada, but an hour at this temperature is a LONG time..

I always look forward to your videos they are very professional and fun to watch. Condensation can be a real pain in the arse. Fortunately for me my yacht has a timber hull which is glassed over and as such suffers from no condensation on the inner hull. I did however have condensation on Windows and hatch frames and also any bolts coming through the deck. Apart from fitting double glazing you are stuck with crying windows. To fix the other two issues I had insulated hatch covers made that are secured to the cabin top with press domes and for the bolts I covered each one with a thick glob of silicon. End result, apart from the window glass, a nearly condensation free boat. Maybe you should sell Cadoha and buy a wooden yacht.😆 nah just kidding.

Great job! I myself can not even get onboard my own boat in Totnes at the moment, (£200 fine if I did apparently). Recommend running some plastic electric conduit down the length of the boat in an exposed, easy to get to location. There are things on the boat that need to be easily and quickly accessible in my opinion, electrics is one of them. Did you try Nitromors paint remover on the varnish, (Halfords or Amazon apparently). Could you run a dehumidifier to help reduce the condensation? I for one would be very interested in your insulation schedule as I am going to need to tackle this on my own boat. I have the idea of covering all interior surfaces in 18mm closed cell foam insulation. At the end of the day though, the best cure is going to be to sail South, the sooner the better to my mind. All the best from locked up in Chester UK

Get you bottoms over to the Mediterranean as fast as you can This will, firstly warm up a secondly massively help me with my plans to do the same. Go get that fish x

always enjoy Cadoha .. Big question for me was .... Did you have oars in the dinghy ?? also very quiet almost windless winter days are great for a trip out into the fairway and practising close quarters manouvering under sail ...

Sitting in a dingy fishing is my favourite thing! That bed is my idea of hell!!!! The damp and mold does get you down but looks like your doing the right things Best of luck!👍

Great vid as usual guys. It must be a challenge to keep it entertaining whilst not sailing but you do it well. Just watch out with the condensation that insulation alone won’t always solve it. We insulated our forecabin upper lockers and just ended up with wet insulation! We now keep the locker doors ajar and have a fan running constantly as you need airflow as well as insulation. Likewise the bed. We have slats on the bottom, Airtex AND insulation around the sides and still have to lift and air the mattress most days if the temp is down below 5° It’s a pain and you’re doing all the right things but still keep an eye on those locker and under bed spaces. Great work as usual and look forward to the next instalment 😊😊

when you remodel a house, start with the foundation. on a boat, start with the hull. I'm really looking forward to seeing how well the insulation project works, I would bet not only less condensation but warmer (and cooler in summer). the real question is by how much? and how many hours it took? best of luck and may fair winds be always at your back

Best wishes with doing electrics, be methodical and celebrate each newly rewired switch. You’ll get there but don’t feel the pressure to rush, it’s all about doing a good job once imho.

Varnish removal is a nightmare. Did our saloon and galley last year. I spent a few weeks looking like an oompahlumpah I was so covered in sander dust. Still have fine detail to finish before we revarnish...yeah I know wanted to get sailing for season with my husband asap. Currently broken collar bone has slowed projects list & he's working in US until summer

Some good suggestions in the comments. Definately dehumidifiers and good ventilation will help.

Aye m8’s, I’d really like to be there and to give you a hand in taking care of that snake pit. 🛠 Hope you’re doing OK and keep up your good work. 👍🏽

i echo others a dehumidifier is needed, - Dave, Vancouver BC

Curious if the new diesel heater makes the condensation better or worse?

Mads says glorious sanding .

Mere mention of an Indiana Jones-esque solution to the Nav station elicited thoughts of scenario's involving his pistol and a spot of gratuitous arson!

.... sure like the cork idea on the ends of the bolts .... in your backdrop there seem to be a few dreams that are slowly fading into disrepair .... congrat on your store having empty shelves Carly .... could have been fun to see a bit of your slo-mo with you making some wize cracks in the voice over .... glad you are both well .... Yikes! that wiring, not a fan of wiring work and hats off for you taking on getting that sorted. Did not even notice the bus-bar in there till you mentioned it, do you think you will need to increase the size of some of those wires that may have been repurposed to something new that may have a larger draw. Am not an electrician, just a thought that ran through my mind when you showed the backend wire which I imagine was on the cold side of the switch hence the splitter. As aforementioned I'm not an electrician .... thx for sharing a peek into your lives ...... never stop dreaming, judt dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....

I posted a video about these heater installations and condensation on my channel, but my video making skills suck, so I must warn you it's bad. Anyways. You need to have some air circulation under your mattresses. That mold preventer alone under them does not help much. Take a circular saw and make holes (alot of them) in that plywood under the mattresses. Then install airvents on the sides of the beds, so you get aircirculation under the bed. It also helps if your diesel heater hot air tubing goes under the beds uninsulated, because then they will dry the beds working as radiators. Hope this helps. edit: You also might want to take at least part of the intake air for the heater from outside of the boat, to prevent circulating only the already humid air inside.

You two know how to have fun.😂 I do not think that insulation is thick enough to be effective - see Mads vid.😉 Rewiring the boat is a great COVID lockdown project.😉👍⛵️

Spend a few extra pounds on a proper crimping tool for your connectors, a bad crimp can cause the overheated wire/connector your were showing, love your videos

Try dilute dettol in a hand held pump sprayer and spray all your curtains and fabric it will stop the growth of mould works on my boat 👍

No shipping to canada?? That’s a sad puppy. the vids are great though, glad to see you are all still upbeat even with the lockdowns.. . got be that British stiff upper lip! Keep on keeping on !

Let Carly deal with the spagetti, it's gluten free LOL!!

The insulation will keep you warmer and reduce your energy consumption slightly and is still the best solution for cupboards but the moisture is still in the air. Ventilation or preferably a desiccant dehumidifier is the only sure solution. I have just upgraded our bed with two sets of bed slats from IKEA £15each. I had to cut them down and mesh them together even with 2’ 6” slats. This gives a combination of spring and cushion similar to a real bed. Jealous of your outside room.

You might just check those deck bolts to verify they remain tight and are not leaking from rainwater prior to getting them all nicely corked. After 40 years, some do work loose (DAMHIKT). It seems burned wiring sort of shifts our priorities for us, doesn't it?

I know all about mould.. we have a grade II listed cottage and the council want it kept original so that entails mould around the windows and all wall paper ruined.. water running off the windowsills onto the floor in the night and the property thus is rotting from the inside out! 🙄😂 how does this help ? 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Good luck keeping the inside dry .. we tried a dehumidifier but it froze every 3 days as house too cold! 😂 what we put up with to live where we love x

Hey check out BEP Marine electrical switch panels, fantastic.

In my opinion you cant beat a solid fuel stove for heat and health its a very dry heat if you burn smokeless it stays in for ages and you dont need much in a small stoves that they fit on boats .

Amazing how much humidity a breathing human being generates! Suggest a decent ratchet crimp tool for those spade connectors; time, care and a touch of over-engineering is never waisted sailboat effort. Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi guys, been watching a while, some great tips etc.. We're currently in the process of buying a boat in Southampton area and were wondering where this was that you were moored, was it expensive and were they happy having live aboard? We're looking for somewhere where we can stay and live before we leave for the med next year.. Rob and Siobhan

In regard to your damp problems on the inside of the hull I seem to remember the previous owner deciding to put off a very big job until he got to the Med, which never happened. In his survey for the boat it showed a very high moisture content within the hull of the yacht that needed attention. I think this involved lifting the boat out and stripping all the paint off to let it dry out and then repainting/gel coating the entire hull externally. Hence him wanting to do it in a warmer drier climate. Could this have anything to do with the high amount of condensation and moisture you seem to be getting? Anyway, best wishes to both and keep up the good work.

Help. I cannot find your link for the purchase of dog sweaters and rain coats. We have two Vizslas (Maizy & Murphy) and would like to make a purchase. Thanks guys.

It only counts as exercise if you row the boat to the fishing spot🙂 Well we are allowed to drive to the shops for essential shopping so I guess it's fine but you have to make sure you catch the fish then. I guess you could use the excuse like I drove to the shops to get loo paper but there wasn't any so I'm going home now. Ha ha .

Guys, on the condensation/humidity PLEASE check episode 139 of Channel Foxes Afloat. They explay how you can control it in a Narrowboat, the same should apply to Cadoha! I am afraid of your insulation application, as if you dont control the condensation, you may have water behind the insulation, causing more problems!

The insulation by the way, is a brilliant idea, but getting in every space? 😵 But not having damp, mouldy clothing etc. 👍

I haven't seen any mention of such things so thought I would provide some and it is with regard to the existence of useful apps like 'cable size calculator' and 'circuit wizard' which are available for use with mobile phones. Furthermore it wasn't easy to see much bare wire in your 'snake's nest' but what I could see did not appear to be marine grade which is to say with a fully tinned core. I speak from experience when I state that is a very, important consideration because I have had standard 'landlubber' wire literally crumble to dust when touched while working on a boat I had bought, even the battery leads disintegrated like rotten rope!

Hi guys quick question have either of you guys done the RYA DAY SKIPPER ONLINE THEORY COURSE and was it difficult? Or did you just jump in at the deep end and learn as you go when you bought cadoha ?

another good vid. nicely done. I am an electrician so if you do need some help at any point, feel free to give me a yell. cheers

Hey! Really random comment but I don't know if anyone has told you already but you look, sound and have the same mannerisms as the dad ( I forgot his name 😂) from 'The michalaks' on KZfaq. Just thought I'd let you know 😂 have a good day!

Buy yourself a label machine and start to label all the wires!

What`s happening with these boats in the background at the end of your video(at around 20:30 min)? Some of them seem to be in a pretty bad condition. Salvage or "forgotten" boats? And yes, I agree, your mattress project needs a higher priority 😉

That bubble wrap is garbage. Actually make the problem worse. I had it all in my workshop and it was soaked every day in the winter with endless condensation. I also use extra long dehumidifiers from home bargains. You get extra refill packs with them and they are pretty cheap to buy.
