In this video, I share that I recently acquired a boat for $2000. However, the vessel is in terrible condition and requires significant repairs before it can be deemed seaworthy.
Join me on this arduous journey as I undertake the daunting task of transforming this wreck into a functional and safe sailing vessel. From tearing out old parts to extensive repair work and modifications, I will be providing a raw and honest account of the challenges that lie ahead.
This project will be a long and grueling process, but I am determined to see it through. Follow my progress on this channel as I work tirelessly to ready this boat for sailing in 2023.

Yep, its designed to squash for inside measurements butted up against an edge and stretch for outside measurements hooked over an edge. Check it for accuracy by taking a measurement starting at 10cm, do the math and then go back to check using the end piece, should be the same.

Stay focused and don’t get discouraged. Clean the outside and map out all the damage you find. Clean looks will help get a dry yard space also. Clean and duct tape around the windows, let drain along the bottom edge. Mark up the plans to show the repair areas, mark boat with pencil/graphite, photograph then clean. Get a non destructive moisture meter right away to help find what is soaked. You got this!!

I have lived the life you dream of for decades, so have much experience of "sorting" boat problems. The odd spot of rot was expected, you just need the right tools and epoxy to sort it. All can be found online, and the skills are easy to learn. With luck the original plywood was quality, so only places like those window frames need sorting. You need decent weather to work with epoxy, like plus 5-7C and it must be dry. Keep ploughing on, you will soon be sailing her.

Good video tonight, Mark. Thanks. You will find rot in places. I think you sensibly paid a low price, and you have reserves and experience to fix this Pahi. I think you caught it just the right moment to rescue it from a bad ending. The bilge zones and underwater are looking to be in great condition, as is most of the primary structure. What a testament to superb Wharram design. and some good work in the build of this one. There is nothing better than cleaning this craft from one end to the other. You can then measure the work required to fix it. I know you have what it takes to do it. I think you will enjoy all of it, too., and it will be interesting for us to watch on the channel.

I actually enjoyed the cleaning. For me it was satisfying to see the surprisingly good condition of the paint, hull, etc. As you said cleaning is good thinking time and gives you real and tactile knowledge of every part of your boat. It's also very important to reveal and make clear the scope of the work needed, and really is the staring point for any major overhaul/rebuild. I expected rot, so for me it's actually good. It requires better and ultimately more efficient procedures: the first being on the hard and drying out. Other great things about this Pahi are: the price leaves you lots of room/options, including needed time on the hard, the location is great for many reasons including being close to home, many of your pals and Hanneke are close, blah, blah. The more I see of you and your project the more optimistic I am. I think it's just right for you in terms of time, learning curve really making it yours. I watched the episode right through and look forward to further progress. Cheers, Dawson

Cut out the square with a jig saw accurately and the angle the square hole about 45 degrees then you cut a new piece of ply with a matching angle to the edge of all 4 sides so when offered up its flush to the outside of the hull then epoxy in small screws can be used then removed when the epoxy is dry then sand and fill if necessary until perfect

Your tape measure is working perfectly! You daft buggar! {Said in your Dad's voice...] The reason the tip on the tape is 'loose' is so it measures accurately inside or outside measurement. So when you're measuring a length of timber, it 'extends' and 'adds' 1.5mm. But, when you are measuring inside, like inside a cupboard, it 'shortens' by 1.5mm - equal to the thickness of the tip of the tape! So each measurement is correct! Inside measurement, or outside measurement. the tape 'self adjusts' accordingly. It's actually a brilliant thing! As for the soft window surrounds. Won't take much to sort once you're on the hard, but for now, I'd definitely clean around them with your scourer and cloths, becase having it clean will make it look better - even if you know it's not - and then once clean, the duct tape will stick better, so just put the old (cleaned) acrylics back on there and tape them up. Remember - it's about keeping water out of the boat for NOW, not making it loook nice and "long-term waterproof". One step at a time, laddie! :)

Almost: The tape measures move, so that the measured length is inside the hook, if the hook is used, and outside the hook if the tape is used to the end. That is, if you use the hook to hold one end, then the measurement will not include the hook. If you push the tape out to press against a wall, then the hook retracts, and the measurement is to the outside of the hook. (Shamefully copy from another site)

Congratulations on your boat find. By now you've probably figured it out that the smooth surfaces are easier to clean than the rough surfaces. For that reason before you paint it would be smart to fill and make smooth ALL surfaces... even the bilge. On our boat any where the fiberglass cloth is not filled in smooth (bilge area), it's an on going difficult project to keep clean. Secondly if you sand and paint the interior with a 2 part epoxy paint you'll eliminate the the chipping and peeling paint in the future. YES, it will cost you more now but save you a whole lot of work and maintenace later. All of this will be easier at this stage before you fill the boat and move aboard. I hope this is helpful.

The stove can't run away on you because it Only lets that amount of drips thru! BUT remember that fuel gets thinner as it heats up! so after a while you will need to turn it down a little!

Mark, Your energy is boundless...as you have always shown since I began watching your channel. Having the boat so much cleaner will make you feel more comfortable to be aboard. So glad to hear you and Nadiana have kept in touch.

You ever thought of breaking it down to two hulls and getting a crane for a few hours and hire a lorry… load it up as ‘spare parts’. Drive it back to the UK… find a quiet corner of a yard and make a tarp tent and fix it up back here at you own pace. Will save all the EU and Dutch beaurocratic issues looming. And you can easily get friends and followers of your channel to help.

That's a good option. Wharram did exactly this in the 1950s.....

Stop being sensible Julian, we are talking about Mark here LOL🤣 However in fairness he has already thought and said of the ease of getting his parents over by ferry from Lancashire for the refit. As for bureaucracy: here in the UK we are certainly back at the top again.

@@richardrichard508 trust me… no one has it like Holland. My friend lives in rental accommodation and yesterday the local council forced their way into the property, which is a perfectly nice house in a rural village, just to check how many people lived there and to see their ID etc. They informed them there were two too many people. It is a very Kafkaesque society… you can see a prostitute and buy a spliff but if you’re a visitor you can’t get a parking permit. And in some regions a couple can’t rent a one bedroom unless they are married.

@@Lookup2Wakeup it makes sense… especially given his connection to the Wharram family… I’m sure back here he could get so much more help. And if he ever wants to bring it back to the UK, now would be the best time. He will be liable to VAT and the best chance to pay little or nothing would be while it’s a project.

I think 2 episodes of cleaning insides of 2 hulls may be enough. At some point in time you will need to pull/motor off of the mud to see if this boat floats. I'd consider some type of floatation strapped inside bottom of the hulls, like an inflatable bed, to insure that hulls don't sink when pulled off mud, and you might be able to use for sleeping afterwards. Best to get this on the hard sooner rather than later, waiting until April has you doing minor projects and seems somewhat unproductive.

@SailProMarina Жыл бұрын

Exactly. get it hauled out yesterday !! Need to inspect those hulls below waterline to be sure it's a floater. All the small jobs can be done later on the hard when you are 101% sure you have a saveable vessel.

@nealeburgess6756 Жыл бұрын

Mark already demonstrated in the last video that it was a floater. He showed how it raised up when he pumped out the water.

@SailProMarina Жыл бұрын

@@nealeburgess6756 I highly doubt that was indicative of ascertaining that the hulls don't leak like a sieve. The hulls raising a tad maybe just because its wood and buoyant.

Hey Mark welcome back to boat ownership. Cleaning and cleaning. I think it’s really funny that I am watched the whole 30 minutes of cleaning. Lol. Sorry you found some soft spots. You’ll get them fixed cause you are experienced. Keep on keeping on. More power to Nadiyana, go girl!

Hey mark does the previous owner have everything missing from this boat stored at their house? Its missing almost everything except the motors and the mast, without the boom.

The reason a tape measure end moves is because if you measure an inside measurement it's the width of the hook smaller, if the hook is 2mm it will move 2mm. Hope that helps.
