There's a lot of sailing videos on KZfaq but there's something special about yours. I hope one of the major television stations picks up your show. You guys are some very special people and I love you both for all the entertainment you've given me. You deserve to be famous. ❤❤❤

I wait for these vids all week. Can’t wait to see you guys start sailing again! Keep up the good work!!!

Love seeing the boat repair. Great way to learn.

G'day Ash & Ben, I have Carbon Fibre masts installed on my 2020 McConaghy MC60, and it made a huge freaking difference mate. The performance was absolutely noticeable immediately. The CF masts definitely made my catamaran faster (really punches through the wind) , it's also a lot stiffer and stable. The stiffer hull provides a much more comfortable motion, at sea or on anchor. For those cruising monohulls, Carbon Fibre masts really reduces pitching and heeling, therefore increasing performance and certainly making bluewater, open-ocean cruising more comfortable. The CF masts are 50% lighter than aluminum, Carbon Fibre lasts twice as long, without having to be serviced. Plus, CF masts are built fully customizable and allows for an unlimited range of choices what hardware you want and where you prefer your gear to be mounted. The masts are completely built to your specs and built specifically to improve your boats absolute performance! The difference between Aluminum vs Carbon Fibre is absolutely noticeable. However, the major downside is the cost. Carbon Fibre is definitely not cheap, but when you decide to circumnavigate the globe, it's absolutely worth every cent. Good luck getting Nahoa seaworthy and ready for her next major passage mate. Cheers from Margaret River, Western OZ 🇦🇺.

I’m so excited for the day Nahoa sets sail again :)

I love that you say it's a privelege to work on your boat. That is so cool. Shows how centered, grounded and appreciative and grateful you are. You guys are great.

contrast the grinding grunt work with soft piano jazz in the background. LOL love it. Beautifully done.

This is what makes Sunday Mornings great- a new Sailing Nahoa video! ah yes.. the Cheater pipe. The favorite tool in my profession- (Army Tanker), but you aren't lying about the usefulness of a mini-sledge. Awesome video. Thanks!

You guys have managed to come out of this covid pandemic as even better folks!! I wish everyone could take a little bit of your example and apply it in their everyday lives... y'all inspired me to do better

I like the authenticity of your vids, they don't have the 'insta-staged TV commercial production-feel' that I feel certain other sailing channels have. That is of course, a good thing. Bravo, keep on keepin' it real!

I love the nice soft music as your doing hours of painstaking work 😂

And that foam won’t keep the rodents out, put a sos pad in the hole then foam around it. They won’t eat threw the sos pad.

So stoked the original intro is back, its the small things you know.

Need to grind 1 to 10, when you fix a fiberglass hole. 1" hole, 10" repair patch!

Your boat working videos are so interesting. I'm vicariously living through you guys from these boat vids. Nahoa is looking great!

Great to be back guys 😊 to stop Seacocks and other brass yacht fittings from weakening/corroding and snapping like that you need to invest in DZR brass fittings. DZR stands for Dezincification Resistant Brass. You can also get Bronze fittings which prevent corrosion like DZR brass.

I am a general contractor. I love my multi tool! I doing good! Eliminating future problems or at least moving the problems down line in time is good judgement. Love the vlog, it's one I really appreciate.

Thank you for sharing your life with us.

A lot of preventative maintenance too do....i was wondering about your rigging and threw holes ..🔨📐🛠🍺🍼🔧🐀⚒🏗🍺🍼👩‍🔧👨‍🔧👨‍🏭👷‍♂️🙋‍♂️..now your really doing much needed preparation for the next 20 thou km ..... the other half of the global conquest 💖💗you 🇨🇦sailors🇨🇦 r in my top 6 sailing blogs blogs.....WHO NEEDS NETFLIX !!! 😜🤣

Looks like that boom lift truck was on an episode of Pimp My Ride! Lol.

Excellent. Thank You! And your little girl is lovely!

Hey Ben, you wouldn't happen to have a tool list of what's in those bags would ya? Would be a huge help to get an idea of what we'd need on our own future voyages

DAM !!!! I just counted how many sailing blogs i watch and view over 9 years ....I've got 24 now !!!! No wonder i get nothing done 🤣🤣🤣.... its so cool thou....i am now familiar with practically ever sea traveling adventure port in da world,,,amazing !!! All the best u crazy Canucks 💞❤💓💕

This is no turn key adventure, you guys got heart, Best wishes!

Love it when I learn something new about a sailboat and how it is put together...

Cannot wait seeing NAHOA get down to her habitat in Ocean... Take care and lots of love from india 🇮🇳

Willow is absolutely the most amazing yacht child. She’s beautiful and awesome and what a sweetie. love from the North North Georgia Mountains 🇺🇸

I look forward to ur videos so much! It’s been a good distraction from all this southern snow in the states!!!

I have a mini sledge hammer I bought 25 yrs. ago in the tool shop at the truck stop on I-80 on the Ohio/PA border.....best five dollars I ever spent.It's saved me so many times.

Great intertainment seeing everyone happy and the music represent exactly your personalities of loving

It's best to use expanding foam filler with metal mesh. Rodents can chew through the foam.

I'm so glad you're back with your boat!

Just made my sunday morning, thanks nahoa!

Goodness, this is so much work! But how exciting to be preparing to get back out on the water!! I'm so excited for you all! Thanks for all the updates. My husband and I are really enjoying following along!

Nice finds on things that need to be fixed. I am excited that my wife is onboard with us getting a lagoon in the near future. Probably will only be a 40. But a lagoon none the less!!

I can’t actually tell you how happy it makes me to see you guys back on your own boat. Not really about the content but your whole vibe has changed so much! Your vids are happy again

Nice to see you folks back with your boat, hope the refit all works out well.

That’s really helping the local folks. Enjoying your time working on Nahoa. I would help you if there. Georgia USA a bit to far away. 👍⛵️

I enjoy your videos, and note your appreciation for the locals and their circumstances. We're privileged with 1st world problems!

I appreciate your realizations of going to places so beautiful but in the end what matters and what is important are the people you share time with and the culture you learn. God Bless and Be safe

Thank you for giving back to the Community that you were in

Stainless steel nuts and bolts seize all the time. At the RR, we use either no oxide or anti seize but that stuff gets everywhere. When it seizes, you have only 1 choice, cut it off. Stainless in aluminum corrodes badly and again you have to use no oxide on those. Most of the time that grey stuff as you call it is called marine tex.

We absolutely LOVE you guys! Really enjoying your repair content while on the hard but even more so looking forward to the other half of your adventure/travels! We remain very inspired. Thanks 🙏🏻

Tefgel is the best for fittings that need to be removed. Not great for fastening such as the machine screws that the mainsail track is fastened with as the screws can back out. This happened to me while delivering a Swan 86 across the Atlantic and we could not lower the main to reef it as the machine screw heads stopped the sail car slides from passing which resulted in 2 trips up the rig to fix. In the meantime we ripped the main from the ensuing flogging until we could lower the sail after screwing the fastenings back in. For corrosion protection between dis-similar metals where you require the fastening to stay in place Duralac is a more appropriate product.

Wow!..that thru hull man...lucky you stopped at Thailand and had a baby..your videos are the best. Thank you

Ashley and Ben thanks for inspiring us.. We just brought a 43 ft yacht which we are going to live on.. We are in NZ.. Love to catch up one day.. Thanks guys love watching your videos

It will be interesting to see how much change you make now that Willa is about ready to walk and explore. Your interactions with locals always gives me great joy.👍🙂

Keep up the absolutely awesome work and one question what will you do when you do finish your voyage restart it?

We used to clean chains for semis by hooking it behind a car or truck and driving around a gravel parking lot for 20 minutes or so it takes all rust off snd let’s you look at the real condition of the chain.

Love that you are supporting the locals! Ben, where are your safety glasses when grinding? Eyes are important when sailing and seeing your daughter grow. Sending much love!

Rat poo rain at 12:30 was amazing!

Love love love the sailing videos. There are quite a few youtuber sailors now , and I watch alot of different videos. I dream of doing it someday minus youtube . Anyway you two are the most humble sweetest most kind people so genuine and my faves by far always look forward to seeing whats next. So excited for more people to find you amd watch your channel grow. Its so easy to see the beautiful relationship and love you have for each other its such a positive thing and just feels good to watch. Thanks for sharing GOD Bless! To the sun on your face and the wind on your back!

Good boat builders NEVER take the bulkhead right up to the hull. They sometimes use a 12 mm. cord in the space between bulkhead and hull or they temporally fix Bh in place with bog in spots and then glass in the un bogged parts, then grind out the bog and glass the whole bulkhead perimeter. If the bulkhead goes all the way to the hull you will get squeaking in a seaway and eventually hard lines showing on the outside of the hull.

Every Sunday afternoon the kids and wife go out to play on the farm while I cook Sunday dinner while watching your latest update, I look forward to it all week thank you

The boat is going to look great. New improved boat, New Journey, new baby, how about a Competition for one of your viewers to design a new Nahoa logo for your mainsail, Im going to get a angle grinder thanks. xxxxxmuch love.

Great seeing all the boat! In due time MS Willa will getting her seatime. For now keep enjoying the the moment. Thxs for keeping all of occupied also .

reminds me of SV Delos changing the rigging on their own a few years ago in the same country. They also sold the anchor chain for a few dollars. They must have been very frugal with their money. But I guess Nahoa is missing the manpower for that. Soon come.

This has quickly become one of my favorite KZfaq channels. You guys are some humble i can’t wait too see ya sailing, much love ⛵️

Great work Ben and Ashley....looking good guys :). Love all your videos and journey

Wow!! Can't wait to see the final outcome! Love that you have hired so many locals to help you out. You guys rock!

like you said so well ,giving is ,a natural thing that needs no effort .Im liking this family of yours more everyday .good job. I can lol to your natural Canadian ways every segment.THE Stuart island parts had me a little worried though...... hope the little boat learned some lessons

I'm so excited for y'all to get back out on the water I see y'all are being smart with doing all these repairs

The bird poop at the base of the mast got me 🤣

Really good to see you guys getting on with it again

Stainless steel bolts and nuts even turnbuckles we called it moling something like that but the threads kind of move it makes it really hard for stainless steel to unscrew after you screw it tight once

Love the editing guys

I love my own car to make it road worthy. Having a good sense of confidence about your boat when you're out in the ocean is always important. Cant wait for more videos specially cute little Willa. Love from Philippines

Great use of a fine adjusting tool!

It seems as you are all angels sent out two help the people... prayers and blessings with you may your journey continue

Loving these vids on getting Nahoa back to scratch! Was there a video of you replacing the rotten bulkhead, I can’t recall one? 👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Can't wait to see you sailing again

I bust my gut laughing at “this is where we sit and drop the kids off at the pool”. I’m crying! Thanks Ben I needed that laugh!

I laughed at the music during the fixing/tool sections of the video. Little Einstein feeling for sure.

Being so far away how are you getting all the parts, I admire you guys positive attitudes in such a messed up situation. Good luck stay safe!

Have you thought of using rubber boots to stop water from getting in the turn but kle?? Just on the ends where a little water can get in. Obviously you cant just stop all the water but a good reduction will help in longevity

great day....good to see resting nahoa

Boats looking good!! Excited for you guys.

,Moo = Pork and chicken is (ไก่ - gài just in case you did not know and if you ask a vender what they are cooking . And the Damage you don't see with your Rigging is Wind Harmonics .

It is so good to see you on your path, the life you have chosen for yourself. You are bringing something unique into existence through your decisions and actions. You have traveled so far from what you have known, yet you have made that your home. The world needs more people with the courage to make these types of life choices.

You look a lot happier already. It seemed a bit miserable in the small sail boat in Canada. 👍🙂

You guys are amazing. Love how you explain all the small details that are also important in learning. Wish you guys the best. I look forward to your future videos

Yall are above 300k views i feel like a month ago you were at 250 that's exciting to see!

Hey..really enjoying your content and your new baby. It really brings me back!! Just became patreon and I would encourage everyone to help make these videos. Don

Feels like i am a part of your journey!!! You people are beautiful ! Thank you for making Such amazing volg ... I hope you pass through India 🇮🇳 some day and I can host you at my home !🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please consider bronze wool rather than SOS pads which will rust... also, does anyone there know about Kroil the creeping penetration oil to separate seized threads? Very much enjoy and appreciate your videos and great attitude. Big Thanks

In the U.K we have or used to have things called baby bouncer's they are a Baby Harness suspended from a door frame by 2 bits of elastic..... Mums put Baby in it & baby would bounce up down Mum get a break from Crying......... SO I AM SUGESTING THE BEST BABY BOUNCER EVER MOUNTED FROM YOUR MAST.......... WHILE YOU GOT MAST DOWN MAY BE WORTH LOOKING IN TOO........ Just a random thought ....... think the multi tool / D.I.Y music choice is interesting LOL !!!..... AS ALWAYS U MAKE THE BEST SAILING VIDEO'S ON YOU TUBE

This must be costing a fortune. I mean all new rigging. Wowzer.

Doesn't seem like work when you're living the dream. Always look forward to your uploads.

I'm Ben, that's Ashley. Together, we did unimaginable. We sold everything, a land, set upon a mission to "sail around the world" Civilization... See you later i love this intro... ;) Be safe always.. Love from a Filipino in KSA

Could you do a breakdown of what you have done, when youre done ofc? Because i would like to know what needed to be done annyways, and what was needed extra because you could not get back to the boat. like how much a boat dies when just sitting there.

These guys are great, looking forward to the next one.

Please do a technical video on strengthening the bulkhead. Great video.

Daddy is teaching Willa that tools are toys and boat work is a game. It’s called homeschooling. 😂😂😂 Willa is so cute. 👍👍👍

idk but i have this feeling of inspired when the background music starts to play in the beginning of the video. May I know what is the music title. anyway always nice to see new video,. nice. keep safe guys

Love to watch how nahoa fix

Ben, As a Mechanical Engineer, I promise you, they are using the adjustable wrenches backwards and may do more damage.

Ben, what would you think of a boat that didn't have any bilges, no below water through-hulls, no essential systems located in near-impossible to access compartments, and on top of it all was safer and more comfortable in all weather conditions than any catamaran on the market?

Always waiting for your videos of nahoa... all out support..

Lots of work to be done. That’s what’s always happened if you let anything idle for months even if you properly mothballed it. There will always be areas that will rot. Just admire your work ethics. More power to you

It’s funny, you wear a long sleeve shirt and a mask to protect from the fiberglass yet wear shorts while working on it. Love your vids!
