I’ve been listening to way too much Chet Baker recently. But just want to say a huge thanks to Mary and Steve, the best parents I’ve ever had 😂 getting organised and those engines purring means I can crack on with my rigging and getting my mast up.

I admire how much your Mum & Dad support your endeavor. You are so lucky they do! And, don't sell yourself short - you've covered amazing ground on your own as well!

Dude, your parents are gold. Make sure you tell them how much you appreciate them. Someday (sooner than later) you won’t be able to.

I love it when Mum and Dad come!

I am a 58 year old father of three boys 18, 20, and 22 and I can tell you nothing brings me more joy than to help them on what ever projects they are working on, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them. I can see that your father is like me, he has unconditional love that brings so much joy. It is easy to see how proud your parents are of you. Speaking of proud my youngest son just graduated today, tears of joy!

Your Mum & Dad are absolute rockstars. Enjoy every chance you have to spend with them. Time is fleeting. Ive lost both of mine.

As a messy person I'm always amazed how a tidy up and clean lifts the spirits but somehow mess just follows me. 😊

Your dad is getting so used to working on engines over water, he'll move his next car project out over the pool. Boat is really coming along, looking great!

Great to see the progress being made. Your Mum always brings a touch of Holywood to the show.

Wish your parents had their own channel, it would be a winner.

Mums have the ability to make wherever you are feel like home. The feeling getting into the cabin after she‘s done her magic must have been pure happiness.

The biggest blessing, is to have 2 wonderful parents !!!

"She's coming along. She's coming along." Never a truer statement!

Linseed oil application should be, Once a day for a week. Once a week for a month. Once a month for a year and Once a year for life. If you cant be assed with all that then you should at least give it three coats with three or four days drying time in-between, Boiled linseed is more durable than raw, buy it boiled don't try and do it your self. If its for outside you might want to consider Tung oil, used by the Chinese for centuries as an external wood preservative.

Little tip for drilling clean holes with a hole saw. Drill through like normal until the center drill bit pokes through but the outer saw part of the bit hasn't gone through yet then flip over to the other side, use the hole for the center and it will line up perfectly to finish off drilling the full hole and give you nice clean edges on both sides of the hole.

Your mom and dad are the best! Apple didn't fall far from the tree! Thanks for the videos!

Whenever I hear your mom talk she reminds me of growing up watching Coronation Street here in Canada. Just love that accent! 🥰

Your Mum and Dad are just great. You should install a check valve on the through hull; check valve above the waterline, shut off valve below the waterline.

its only when you look at the before and after that you realise how much it changed, you done a great job Mark and you are lucky to have such great parents. i wish you all the best.

I love watching your parents go to town on your boat. There's nothing like your Mum and Dad.❤

I’m sure I’m not the only one that is so proud of you Mark. Great seeing you with your mum & dad 😉

Mum and dad rock when they come over. It is coming together mark. Keep it going

Your parents are rock stars, I love when they come and help you.

I can't get over how cute it is that your mom is decorating the boat for you. It brings so much warmth to the boat!

I never miss an episode. Your parents are magnificent folk, and I'm amazed at how your Mum adapts to woodwork tasks. I wanna see those masts up and rigged!

🌈⛵️🌈Ahhh, Sparks, I feel really emotional watching this!🤗...I have just done things that aren't necessarily needed for Mahi"s safety or to set sail & stuff you dont need to prioritise!!!🌈⛵️🌈....Your favourite parent however has been able to help with his mechanical genius 🔧🔨🔧& do you know, we've loved EVERY single minute!!!...I'm not sure whether Ive said this before, but we're SO proud of you!!!🌞....You are well & truly bringing Mahi back to life & I can see the Swan 🦆 is just around the corner🦢!...As always....Love, love, love ⛵️🌿🌈Mum🌈🌿⛵️

When that clip of 12 months ago popped up, it really reminded us of how much hard work you have put in. And mum killed it with the carpets

your family loves you Mark- these times are a blessing to cherish.

Crocs mate. You need crocs. You'll never look back. The boat is looking A... mazing

Your family seems peaceful and wholesome - foundation of human civilisation

Great music always a magical time when your folks are on board.

Love and cherish ya mum and dad we don't have them for ever mark another great video ❤

Mum & Dad to the rescue again, thanks Mum & Dad!

Yup Skipper, She does look really nice. ALOT better than a year ago. I know you could pull her together again. Cant wait to see her breaking through the waves. Its going to be grand. Carry on Skipper.

Absolutely nothing wrong with being ambitious! More importantly though,. you've got dedication and perseverance.

Am I the only one who gets ASMR tingles watching Mark's mum cleaning?

It is a blessing to see your parents so involved in your dream. You are truly loved. Continued prayers for your seccess.

Your mom is an interior decorating genius And your dad is a mechanical savant. I walk around in socks and slides everyday. Taking on a boat in that condition is just like the old saying how do you eat an elephant. You guys are doing outstanding eating that elephant 1 bite at a time.

Your dad is such a handy guy and you mom makes the boat a home. Lovely to see. Great work. Greetings from Antwerp. Erik

Getting loads done with extra help from Steve and Mary. The engines, controls, chain plates are some biggies. Cleaning the bedroom. Painting and wood oiling. Brightening some of the exterior. Carpets and plants complement the interior, making it more homely.

Your sailboat is really coming along nicely. I too wear socks with sandals, with no regard for anyone's opinion. Having that attitude is one of the benefits of getting "old". Good for you for adopting that outlook at a young age.

Your parents are treasures. Watching you work together is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

You are so fortunate to have your parents to come and help you with all of that hard work! Your mom is such a sweetheart!

Being tidy is so important for feeling the progress and to help in finding things. When I’m untidy I spend more time searching for tools and bolts etc than actually fitting them; also when I can’t find something I gave tended to re-buy it, thus doubling the cost and space taken.

You have great role models, work ethic and a positive attitude can't be under appreciated, good on you.

Mom and Dad are the Best .... what a blessing to have .... they want their kids to Succeed and be Happy .... we should Honor them in being the Best we can be .... ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 ....

Mark you have the best Mum &Dad they really make a big difference -Great vid well done

Four helping hands make such a difference! Your mom and dad are such perfectionists and you certainly take after them. Well, the project is near completion, I am sure you’re very satisfied with what you’ve achieved so far! To the next episode with more end results 🤞

Amazing Mark, we are thrilled over the amount you have accomplished on this project in such a short period of time. You all deserve a round of applause for this epic refit and we all are praying for your success in the future.

I love how cool your parents are. Their participation is priceless.

Watching your Dad’s skill with hand tools is an absolute delight. You seem to be picking it up as well. Great video

The chain plates turned out great! The second fly catcher is called a "pitcher plant". Great work! Your parents are so wholesome to see together with you. Love all your videos, but the ones with your parents are the best!!!

I'm absolutely loving the soundtrack to these episodes Mark - it really goes well with your laid-back vibe. Socks and sandals are a British tradition!

Very lucky young man in many many ways. Cherish your time with your loved ones. 👍

Every living space needs a womans touch! Well done Mum! 🎉🎉🎉

Awesomeness from your mumsy and dad. They are bright lights.

Mark once again i say you're folks are just champions. Love the Mickey Mouse on your mum's jumper. Her little flower signature & your dad;'s spanner are just priceless & should remind you of their support and love whenever you look at it. Inspiration right there. Enjoyed the video as always. cheers

Loving the progress and your Mum’s little home touches. Your Dad is a quiet machine himself!! Well done to you all.

Your parents are great!! if more of us had such supportive parents.... I was just thinking of commenting about your socks, then you addressed the matter. Just be you Mark...

what a lovely way to spend time with your family! Happy they support you on your journey!

Love it when your mum and dad are there helping you, they are truly brilliant, you are a very lucky young man. I doubted your project but you and your parents are well on the way to prove me wrong, she is beginning to look good.

Steve and Mary, you are the parents that every man/woman would truly love to have as their own. You are so loving, so helpful and so much fun. Mark I can see where you get your compassion, your manners and you willingness to “have a go” at anything that stands in your way. My congrats to all three of you and I truly enjoyed this video and watching the interactions between you all.

Mark - observation and you really don't need telling. Your mum and dad have your back. So much love mate.

Nothing like doing stuff with your family. Your parents are wonderful people and I love their energy!

Great job this week. You have to have the coolest parents on the planet. Your dads skill set is amazing and your mom tackles anything and everything. Cheers from Austin, TX

Your folks are awesome. Your dad really knows a lot of great tricks too. Great progress, Mark! When you were putting on the chain plates in one portion of the video, it looked like there was an animal or a tiny dog or guinea pig moving on deck. Then I realized that it was the top of your dad's head as he was moving to tighten the bolts. LOL. Looking better and better! Rock on, mate! 😁👍🤙

I've never wanted to hug someone else's parents so much

Heres to your wonderful parents who love what you do :)) they are so proud and dont mind helping you to get where you want to be

This time spent with your parent is priceless. Boats lookin smicker., can't wait to see her sail.

Your parents Mark are absolutely amazing. You are one very lucky bloke, not too many parents can contribute like yours do. Your hippy chick mum is fantastic, always positive and fun. While your dad is obviously the strong silent type. Love ‘em both. Wonderful progress, such a boost to moral seeing things finished. Cheers Mark thanks for your hard work with producing all the videos.

Parental episodes are the best. Great choice on the rug mom.

What a fount of knowledge and industryness your parents are. No wonder you are so persistent at completing all these jobs, cheers.

Your habit of dismantling irreplacable complex bits of enginr in close proximity to water fills me with trepidation!

1 word comes to mind when ever i see your mum and dad "Legends" good to see the progress mate won't be long now.

Mark you can pick up a 5 gallon water jug I think blue is for water but make sure before you buy one, what ever you do don't drill any holes in it, just take the cap off when sitting around and run the water tube down iinside less chance on spilling as not a open container unless it falls over and if it does the Bilge pump will take it away. Try this jazz Nora Jones & Diana Krall, Not sure what, Annie Lenox and Aya is also nice music. I have put into Spotify along with a lot of their music over 20,000 tunes a real mix, I Like some Jazz that stuff your playing today is pretty good. Peter

A happy family is always nice to see. You're on the last straight with the project now.

Nice video , as always , and GREAT MUSIC FROM 1950.... and 1960......Best wishes from Balkan .

You have come a long way Mark! I’m so impressed with all you’ve done and learned . It’s really shaping up to be the beauty you imagined. Blessings and Light. Kathy

Love your parents salt of the earth,real lancastershire people.

This boat has turned out great, can’t believe it’s the same boat, you & your family have done so well, it’s getting closer to sailing again

I can only imagine all the work behind the camera, such big boat and restoration on top of it filming and editing, you are doing a great job, thanks for the inspiration 💫

Best channel on the Tube. Best part, Mark has made his parents full blown KZfaq royalty. Killing it, Mark. Killing it.

Let's ALL assist in enhancing his KZfaq algorithm, like I'm subscribing, viewing, liking, sharing and commenting from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, USA.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Your parents are flippin awesome ! ❤️

Good to see Steve MacGyver again, and his talented wife.

Can’t believe how far you’ve got mate. Always a pleasure to see mum and dad getting stuck in. Soon be there.

Really coming together great to see mum and Dad again

You are more than fortunate,Mark

I just find such delight in all you achieve, and your mum and dad just make it delight squared.

G'day Mark , Boat is comming along , Dad n Mum are legends. I believe the other fly catcher plant is a Pitcher plant . Be great to see the boat rigged with her mast . Slow n steady ,as they say . Respect....!

Having a mechanical engineer for a dad is a godsend!

Rock Star Parents!!! Love Dad getting his name in a wrench !

So nice to have your parent’s helping 🎉 get her sailing ⛵️ into the sunset 🌇

Your parents are absolutely great. Intelligent, talented, and extremely loving.

Mark, your parents are brilliant ! 🤗💖😁💖 You are so blessed. I hope you can get things together so you can get moving soon. Take care. Best wishes. S/V Cork~Texas 🇺🇲⛵🐬🐕

things always move a head quickly when you parents are there. Mark you are so lucky that they are deeply invested in your project keep up the good work Mark, can't wait for the mast going up ...cheers

Your parents are absolute treasures. Love seeing them both bringing their different skills to Mahi.

Parents like yours are worthy of admiration of steadfast commitment for your envoys of safe passage sailing the seas. Legendary Rock stars! You could buy an Ecoffow battery make commercials to help afford things for your boat and for yourself, to help with all your battery needs. I love the colours she's picked for the matts, the plants, those little touches do help.

dads a legend moms a hero ..canjust love them

Hi Guys, a family working week.I love mums carpets and Dads handy work. They are such ledgens. It's all looking good and Mark you have come such a long way, soon you will be sailing, thanx for the show. Craig UK.
