I think your Mum and Dad are just lovely. You do them proud.

I can't believe you put me in your video,,,,with my curler in!!!! Aaaarrrggghhhhh🙈

Huzzah!! Mums curler is Gangsta!!

Mum "hoovered" with the Kärcher...😂..... If Kärcher vacuums had hit the UK market first then she could have ended up "kärchering" with the Hoover ....😂😂😂

I learned a trick from MJ Sailing for filling bags. Put the bag over your hand like a glove. Then scoop the filler material out of the mix pot. Then flip the bag inside out. Super easy. Your mom's curler cracked me up. Parents can be such a trip sometimes.

I seriously think you have the best musical taste of all the sailing youtubers… i often will just listen to your show again after I have watched it… banzai banzai banzai!!!

The temporary screws try add a washers to spread the load and aid removal. Keep up the good work

Dear Mark, Willeke (my wife) and I love the way you’re doing your homework in restoring Mahi. We think that she’ll look better than ever before even when she was brand new. Your parents are a wonderful support for you so we’re very keen what your parents achieved in improving the catamaran so we look forward to your next vlog and send you love

Love the tunes and the video. Mom is so cool

To stay positive; loved your parents and how incredibly supportive they are. And LOVED THE JAZZ background music..... loved it.

I am in Israel, in the middle of a war, glued to the news! But I chose your video for a break! I just loved the way those screws finally came out! Took my mind of the horrors around me. Thanks for the video! I've been watching you since the beginning!

Today's lesson: When in doubt, EPOXY! She's coming right along. Cheers from FL, USA.

Trying to fill a wood note….😂😂🤣😂.. you know that’s the time to go have a break as everything looks like a hole you need to fill 🤣😂😜

You can mix epoxy with sawdust to make a resistant filler. If you have lots of holes you can drill out the wholes and with a plug cutter cut out fresh wood plugs to fill each hole exactly with fresh epoxy soaked wood. All hatch collars/surfaces need to be epoxy sealed and check them for flatness or curve depending on the hatch. Sun roofs on cars and kit cars are notorious for leaking for the same reasons. Its tedious work now but its the foundations the big stuffs built on ...so its important... Hi to Mum and Dad...😊 Dont forget for flooring or added insulation you can use cork tiles ..great underfoot and safe ...or roll material ... For texture colour or just to paint over...

I would trust your dad on the International Space Station to be the "fix it guy" and your mom as the "good progress and let's keep going" gal.

Your Mom did herself up Hollywood for her cameo appearance. Great to see your folks. You are making that lemon of a boat into lemonade. Impressive

Your Mum’s a classic. Can see where you get your cleaning skills from.

This is one of the best music channels around.

I absolutely love the way you introduce that swans head thru the port hole in your videos. I laugh so hard every time I see it . Thx for the humour while you work so hard.. A Canadian fan!!

Another great vid Mark. Luv watchin yr progress. Any chance of you putting in a word at Bluetti and getting a powerbank for Sailing Seabird too lol.

Were it not for this channel I would probably never listen to jazz - particularly with a good headset on. An unexpected additional benefit of watchingthis channel. Keep at it lad.

Wharram Wildling - push the wharram angle more. You were far ahead of me; I didn't 'get' the Wharram at first but have watched some videos and seen a variety of adventurers sailing them and you fit right in! The Wharram angle will get you the next 100K subs man.

Mum and Dad what a team!

Boat life, endless repairs. To the future. Family help and motivation.

The patience you have displayed doing thousands of often mundane taskS in pursuit of your goal is INCREDIBLE! I can only imagine the excitement to come when she is ready to sail the ocean. And 100,000 of us will be sailing with you sharing your satisfaction with your accomplishments

Ah there he is, our favorite Dutch sailor! Your parents seem lovely people.

Nice video again! Have a look at the different screw bits. One bit of advice: Don’t use PZ bits for PH style screw, vice versa. We all screwed up before and learned the hard way.

Your Moms hair is FLY....more of both of them please.

M8. Excellent work. Consider winter is coming though. You will be stuck inside with bad weather all winter long, especially in those parts. Engines, mast, chain plates, rigging, and you may yet be able to sail out of there before the snow packs ye in. Ye could be working these things in the Canary Islands at 21°C in January, or 0°C where ye are. You can still spend 3 weeks at home for the holidays. I would be trying to high tail it out of there if it were me! Much love Mark

Mom's such a legend. Beam of sunshine

A 12v 3amp power supply, adjustable would be even better and some high resistance wire would cut that insulation foam like a dream.

Atlantic Ocean on you wonderful restoration catamaran. I can not wait to follow your adventures. Thank you for the videos. Russell

sanding equipment, Total Boat should sponsor Wilding sailing

That is why extruded polystyrene is so much better than expanded polystyrene. -- Hook and loop fasteners on sander will melt on pressure, which is usually the case when using the edge. I usually finish with those, since the other options are made for pressure and rough surfaces, but will leave pigtails.

Your Mum is THE BEST! I just nearly spit my tea out she made me laugh so hard.

Your folks are brilliant mate, your mum with the hair roller in sorting the boat - bless her 😆. Boat is coming along nicely 👍

Good to see ur mum and d ad doing the right thing and kicking your ars in to gear there good for that. boat starting to come together

I have to tell ya… the genuine love both of your parents show towards ya is something just totally awesome to behold my friend. That way ur moms face lights up when she looks at ya and the way yr father solidly stands ready to back you up by doing things he knows will further your goals… that quiet strong love that only a father is capable of… these are the things that a lot of people see and covet that brings the viewers the most enjoyment. OH ya and the boat repairs toooooooo! 😂🤣 Don’t get discouraged, even on them DEEP rabbit holes bro. (Florida)

Your parents are amazing

Jeeees, it's so good to hear someone being honest about the bike industry. I, like you, rode, then spannered, then owned a bike shop and you totally mirrored years of my feelings. Great vid, ❤🚲🚲

I still cannot warm to the new boat but I greatly admire your work and focus so far and I think that the 100k is your just reward for your valiant efforts and taking the time throughout all this work to share your dream with us all. ❤. Go well!

_Wharram Holes_ ~ You've coined a phrase! XPS foam is the way to go - you need good closed cell foam that's 100% waterproof. There's waterproof expanding foam we use for pond water-features and that is awesome as long as you don't expose it to direct UV light.

Geez im jealous what a loving, gentle mother and helpful, caring dad. ❤

Hi Mark your doing a really good job on that boat. Congrats on your KZfaq plaque. And your mum and dad are wonderful always a pleasure to see them. Waiting to see your boat sail that's going to me awesome to watch. God bless you.

Can't wait to we go sailing. Going to be a hoot. Cool boat cool dude guarantee cool adventures.

hello from France,for the screw holes you can use a syringe that you can find in electronic cigarette stores for the liquid diy it might be simpler to avoid air bubbles, it's just an idea I don't know if it would really work,continue on this path and good luck ^^

You have an awesome Mom and Dad. Treasure your time with them

Mark, to remove epoxy covered screws: Just heat up the screwdriver tip and stick it into the screw head ;-)

More great progress this week - it seems slow, but these small details have a huge effect in the long run. Brilliant cameo appearance of your Mum's roller..!! We love your Mum & Dad and so pleased they came at just the right time. They lift my spirits too..!! And always good for a laugh. "Oh, I know he won't like the quilt cover..." Ha ha ha ha ha - GOLD. Cheers, Grant - Adelaide, South Australia. AND CONGRATULATIONS on 100,000 subscribers..!! Huge milestone, and hopefully keeps growing. Dream come true, eh?? Bless you.

Dude, that picture for the thumbnail is world class! Blow that up and frame it. What a story it tells!

I’m not sure why but I never see people using an Impact Driver for stubborn screws to get them started coming out, especially stainless screws in aluminum etc, a impact driver set comes with different screw/driver bits and you just use them by hitting the one end with a hammer to turn the screw lot less likely to strip the head of the screw out and cheap

Don't change anything ever........love your personality honesty and most of all your humbleness......if that's a word.....A very hot South African have a good one......

Gotta love this young man.

Literally pmsl at you winding them nasty swans up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

thanks for the videos Mark, great work on the boat.

YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE AMAZING IN SUPPORTING YOU ON YOUR ADVENTURE OF GETTING THIS BOAT ON THE WATER AGAIN. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 100K

I think your mother is amazing!

One of my favorites on KZfaq you and your parents are one of a kind. And your mum’s accent is to die for

Love "respect" with the bird! LMAO

Congratulations on the KZfaq award. Great to see. Love you mum and dad, always make me smile and great to see them in your vids.

About those piping bags… I use them often when cooking. Chef and sailor for 40 + years. Pro tip, fold down sides of the piping bag about half way, covering your hand. Load in the thickened epoxy down towards the tip, flip up the sides, twist the bag till snug, snip the tip to the desired size, pipe away.

Super Mom, super Dad! Lucky boy!😊😊

Very patiently done work. You are getting there a Mark. It’s going to look absolutely beautiful with the mast up.

Your doing great IMO/ Thank you for bringing us along!

Magic dude, just magic, your filming and editing is the best I have seen on any KZfaq channel.

Pro tip: screws stuck in by dried epoxy, heat them with a small torch or the tip of a soldering iron. Heat makes the epoxy let go momentarily.

Your dad and mom are great. Wonderful people that love their son

Your investment is coming along very nicely, your work is good on every detail. a little effort and you will have something to be proud of,

How cool is your mum with a roller in her hair! 👍

Just love how genuine your parents are. Also the boat is coming along well

Put some modeling clay in the screw heads before the epoxy, easier to remove 😊😊

Massive improvement in your attitute towards troubleshooting. Before you were very timmid, almost afraid not to cut out a milimeter deeper or wider than necesarry. The less done the better. But now look at you, cutting out big chunks at once, starting projects with disassembly etc. Well done man!

That sander needs a P setting for ‘pirate’

Amazing work Mark. Your mom and dad are absolute diamonds. Your dad must be very proud watching you grow and develop skills of your own. I've followed you from day 1 and it's been a privilege to witness, so thank you. Keep the videos coming and gratz on your award :)

Electric carving knife works like a charm for polystyrene.

Mom “hoovered” it…too funny 😆

Keep up the awesome work Mark you are doing fantastic big guy and by the way what a team the 3 of your are !!! LEGENDS!!!!!

Oooh, I can just start to feel this project coming together a little bit. Can't wait to see the upper deck painted up. Keep going Mark, I reckon the back is broken to a degree.

Doing a great job, Mark. Well done on your KZfaq award, well deserved, and hi to mum and dad. Take care, all the best.

Now that you're done filling those holes with epoxy, I believe I would have enlarged the holes with a drill, then filled the holes with a wooden plug, epoxied into place. Hurray for engine boxes! THANKS, Mom, for the tie-dyed bedding!

What A Lift! It start to look good. We all know that if you had bought a more expensive boat you probably been cross the Atlantic by now, but on the other hand you probably would not get that much subscribers. The way you build up expectations and excitements buy doing this is remarkable. After all, i will follow as a true youtube subscriber and looking forward for more of your interesting extra curricular. Why stress? The road’s more interesting than the goal itself. Rock on 🤘

Lovely video as always mark and it’s nice to see your home getting clean painted and refined now for the outside work as you said but you still need a comfortable clean living space good old mum 👩

Well done mark .

It was a bolt remover set 😅 you drill a hole in the snapped of bolts and then twist the remover in with a tapping wrench😉

I think it's quite unusual for someone with 100,000 subscribers to regularly get over 100,000 views on most videos within a week. Maybe a lot of your viewers aren't subscribed. You're very good at making videos. They always seem shorter than they really are.

Regardless of your methods and use of materials, I so rooting for your success. Back in the day you use what you had and you’re showing it still can be done. Looking for the launch!

Looking good all your hard works paying off. Well done

It's definitely getting there. Keep it up

Congratulation with silver button! Go for gold!

The struggle continues... it's coming together nicely...thanks Mum & Dad...fair sails ahead Mark⛵

Mum and Dad are amazing, you're very lucky 🎉🎉🎉

Hello Mark, you are doing great work, and I have a tip or suggestion for you. When you need to fill holes that you might re-drill later, I like to clean them out & rough up the sides of the hole, then fill with epoxy and a hardwood dowel, or toothpick for small holes. Wood can give better grip for fresh screws or bolts than just epoxy by itself. Just my opinion, keep up the good work. (Jim Seattle)

Hey Mark, for all the sanding that you are doing you should look to add a Crepe block to your Amazon list to help save you on the sand paper and get better life of them. Great work, I am only getting into sailing after many years of procrastination and I am loving your work. Warm winds

ohh play button. Congrats

Well done Mark. Things are certainly progressing at a good rate.

Thats a good name for a ship :) The relentless. ;)

Technique. If it works, don't knock it! Nuff said? Geez ya Mum and Dad are good value, like my Mum and Step Dad. Doin well m8, pleased as, over a 100 thou! Better late than never! Thanks m8, keep up the good work.

You…are…the…MAN!!! 😎❤️😎❤️😎

Hi Mark.....Mum and Dad. its all coming together bit by bit, love Mum's work, she's an Angel, Dad is a Legend, you are so lucky to have such amazing parent, ok enough of the soppy stuff. Your wood working skills are improving daily Mark, keep it up. The boat is going to be awesome when its finished, do you have a name yet or is that going to be a big surprise for us?? Take care and can't wait for the next bit of footage, Cheers Craig UK

I wish I had more to give than just being one of the 102k subscribers but this will have to do. Loving the content and loving watching your work come together. I'm very timid when it comes to this kind of work. Terrified to get started and find myself in too deep. Watching you push past the same feelings in earlier videos and become so confident is such a breath of fresh air! Keep it up mate!! Can't wait for the next installment :)
