I'm thankful for your commitment restoring Odd

i love the new intro.

....☝❤👍😁

Galera, pra que serve esse olhal na proa do barco, abaixo da linha d'água?

I if was you, I probably would replace all seals since the boat is been sitting out of the water for a long time just to have peace of mind. Keep the good work 👍👍👍.

If you have to do this again. Tie the “tugboat” to the side of your boat, when towing inside a harbor. Then you have control.

Brilliant teamwork..projects development. .normally tedious following but both made it absorbing. .great vids! Salute!

Episode 168pls

Was the anti-fouling paint supposed to stop that before? I think this is why old boats used to have copper marine paints.

Hello Duca & Roberta please tell Ben & MP to pin their important comments (last video) so it can be seen by everyone up in the comments section ! Have a nice day.( Looking forward for the new video !). Cheers 😊

You might have to change the title to Odd Lifetime Projects....just reading comments it's obvious your followers are attracted as much by your magnetic young personalities as by your sailing experiences. I'm not criticizing; just making an observation. Hope to see you actually sailing the vessel soon. !

Muriatic acid eats calcium and is water soluble and used in pools so just don’t get any on your skin

Sailing boat red is beautiful 🌬🍾⛵

DUCA Dont throw ekstra rope on the see,let it stay onbord😉⛵⛵

Check in to Magic Antifoul, it's what Sailing Zatara uses on their hulls now. Hardly anything clings to their boat now.

Better is you will use Transferwise instead of PAYPAL, because absolutely less fees money transfer into 10 Minutes, don`t use PayPal is the biggest scum

We really enjoy watching your channel. If you haven't committed to an engine yet, check out "Sailing Uma". Their most recent video talks about an electric motor sailboat--instead of one large motor, they put in two smaller motors, which they say makes for better, more flexible maneuvering. There is a company in Croatia that builds them--Salona Yachts, I believe. You might enjoy it, if you have time! We just thought the two motor idea was interesting.

Finally a new intro! Good job!

Happy Gypsy has become my new favorite tune!

❤️❤️

How’s the new motor working out ?

Nice job, guys!

The never ending story of restoration. What is the brand name of that fake antifouling paint? Everything else you’ve done is absolutely perfect. It’s as though an unseen force is preventing you from going places in the boat. There will always be something to fix. A reason why 90% of yachts in the water are never ever used.

There is a old saying " no boat is ever completely ready to leave shore".

its a hole lot eazer to use pump sprearer

why dident you just start the boat motor and drive over to the dock it still runs

You have to debarnicle every 3 months?

Look up "Magic Anti-Foul" bottom paint. It is a proven product to keep your hull bottom much cleaner for longer periods of time plus easier to clean.

Wow ..lots of growth re just sitting on on a dock ? For how long ? ..... compared to other sailing vids out there redoing anti foul etc , just seemed to be way more heavy growth ..Stay safe

nice

Friends of Capri ; Duca , Why is your boat so low it looks like its only a meter on the waters edge ,this kind of sail boat was not designed for a ruff blue sea more like from one point to the other ...Im saying this because theres not mush difference between your dinghy and the sailboat hight dont try sailing in the ocean yet practice alought ...Dolce Mare used to be two meters off the edge of the water...I will love you forever ...

The expression you're looking for is "on the Hard" not " on the dry".

Now I know why there was muriatic acid on our boat when we bought it.

Amazing how much crap gets on the hull in such a short time!!!! It sure is nice to have Fred around to give help and support... he is just awesome. He needs to put out more videos though so you have to let him go..... With you, Fred and Yaba, we see things that we never would know about boats..... I'm glad we get to see you doing all the jobs so when you splash for real, if anything goes wrong, we will know what you 're doing to fix things. Stay safe!!!

Just loving your new intro!!

How long was the boat in the water to get all those Barnacles on there

The kill switch cord should be attached to your wrist for safety, i know its a hassle, but it could save your life or serious injury, my friend Ed Boden got flipped over board going back to his boat in St. thomas in the evening, the boats prop got him, right across the cheek, knocking him unconscious, he was floating head down, fortunately a fellow cruiser heard the dinghy going around in circles, and saw Ed floating in the water, got him to the dock, where an ambulance and Doctor was waiting, saving his life, fortunately Ed was a floater , thereby saving his life, so be warned. e.g., i was a non user of the kill switch lanyard until i knew about Eds accident.

You guys have the energy to all of the work and have such an awesome time. Always helping, aiding and supporting each other, being around you two makes me try to be more as you: Happy! I can’t wait till next week’s episode. Y’all stay safe❣️

Cara o casco pegou muito cracas ein ???

I'm freezing in Canada...and you're swimming in the ocean. Not fair!!! 🥰

You guys know I love your blog very much but that bottom paint is no good I think I said something about this please get in touch with sailing Zatara with captain Keith one of their sponsors is a great new bottom paint they are out of Louisiana I think please check it out with your rating you could be a spokesman for the company it is great antifouling paint

Better use a different anti-fouling... after 2 months this looks bad!

Looks like it's been in the water for years. Must be the worst AF I've seen.

Have you two ever thought of putting in an Electric Marine engine? Talk to the couple who do "Sailing Uma" here on NLcameras. Just food for thought. I watched you cleaning the bottom of your boat. Talk to Sailing Zatara, here on NLcameras, and they have a lead on a revolutionary bottom paint that you two might be interested in. I'm not a sailor, just a video watcher.

Thank you again for a well shot, and edited video of your boat hoisting and bottom scraper...I'd just like to say I don't envy you having to clean those darn barnacles off the hull and I wondered how expensive it must be to lift the boat out of the water, arranging all the repairs on the propeller shaft seals and maybe even installing a new engine. You are certainly doing a wonderful job ensuring yourselves a safe and well prepared vessel for that much anticipated maiden voyage. I'd like to thank you too for my splendid Odd Life coffee mug which I have christened with it's first double espresso...the first of many as I have one every morning.

We are on the dry in South Africa cause they banned the sale of alcohol

Bonjour les amoureux, I know what it means to have a brand new toy, buta two stroke engine ? What an idea, why not a four sroke one, quieter and smoking less ? 8/9 CV four stroke engines do not exist ? What about bernacles on the boat drift ? I am not familiar at all with boats and sea so I find very impressive the impact of the salt water on a hull after only 3 months. Besides this, you have been much more lucky with your paint than Juh and Fred ! A few spots to repair is nothing compared to a whole hull ! Amicalement, Raphaël

Look into this: https:/@t Sailing Zatara is using it

The Old Path....God bless.

Wow, whats left of the old boat :0) Stay safe, wanne see rest of the story...

💐 to Roberta.

One other thing. I believe he had excellent results but his paint was solvent based and applied to a fiberglass hull. I believe this would be worth testing this theory. Hope this helps prolong times between coatings Greg Hathaway

hi Duca, a little reminder: do not drop the outboard in the water. anyhow, Ben would be able to tell you how to handle it 😁

Why is the boat so dirty so quickly?

Back in the 90's a friend of my father's was experimenting using extracts from hot peppers and mixing them with bottom paint. He claimed the barnicals did not like the"taste" and that kept them away. Just a thought. GregHathaway

Sheesh! Can you use the stuff that you put on the propeller all over the hull? That would relieve the barnacle problem would it not ?

In the minute 14:43 duca seems like a ARABIC SHEIK hahahahah greetings from Panamá

Greetings from Texas Roberta and Duca! I am so enjoying your channel and you guys are just awesome and amazing!!

Bom dia Já tentei indentificar está praia que vcs vão e não consigo Aonde é?

Hi each, loving the videos. Just watched the latest and my wife commented on Robertas sun hat. Can you let me know what brand it is as I would like to get her something similar. Rgds & keep safe. Gary

Of course were back on the dry , there has to be something to fix . One tip graphite rope

if you want remove the forestay without dismount the furler(dangerous for tension on turnbuckle). Use the jib ,or spinnaker, halyard tighten on the bow, by winch, to bring the mast a little flex fore ,that remove tension on the forestay. Whitout tension you can remove the forestay by the pin under the furler. This is the right way to dismount or modify lenght on all shrouds. (tension on turnbuckles is dangerou, it coud brake/grip metal screw).

Roberta e Juh são essenciais para o sucesso de seus projetos. Ver o sorriso de Roberta coberto de restos de cracas, sorrir era uma indicação perfeita de sua disposição em ajudar Duca em qualquer coisa. Juh faz um trabalho incrível de narrativa e seu trabalho de arte é impressionante. I hope this is comment translates properly, my first try.

I was hoping you would decide to put in a new engine. The old one was a gamble, and a new engine is a better bet. Go well.

Duca your sense of humor is very enjoyable and seams to come natural. Roberta your smile brightens my day. Thank you both and many blessings I hope for you. Roberta thank you so much for your conservative dress.

👍👍👍👌❤❤❤

Coloca uma junção "T" de PVC na ponta do cabo dos remos para ficar mais confortável de uso caso precise.

🇮🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Duca please tell me, what have you used on the propeller?? It's amazing!

Hi,having watched from the start,it's about time you two have a break.

why not use copper coat for the bottom ? It's a bit more expensive but you're good for a few years !

Duca, in 30 years time you’ll be able to look back at these videos and remember how blessed you were to have such a wonderful partner in Roberta. You are a truly fortunate man. Live long and prosper both of you! 🖖❤️🇬🇧

I really enjoyed this episode and the new introduction. Thank you for sharing once again 😀👍⛵️

Your smile is engaging, may luck always assist you, when you think of setting up a small sailor :) :) :)

Love your show guys, just some advice for your outboard engine when you take it off the boat and put back up on deck, just run it quickly with fresh water going through it. Keeps the salt water out of the rubber impeller. Good luck and great job.

mate you should have gone for a battery /solar unit,two stroke is old tech and very polluting .

You've created Fredenstein!

Still watching... But i wanted to say i love when you guys use your native language and share with us monolingual people. Thanks :-)

Suzuki DF9.9A Owner's Manual (Page 25 of 61) | ManualsLib www.manualslib.com/manual/1769687/Suzuki-Df9-9a.html?page=25#manual Hi not sure of the outboard you have but I never heard of a ICE that was not damaged by to much oil. I looked in the manual and could not find any reference to adding extra oil. Please check. I really enjoy your videos and what a great boat. The bottom paint issues have to be addressed now. What did you use? All the major paint companies have great tech support with knowable people available to answer your questions. Call them Stay safe and good luck.

I notice that Suzy rides Frederico's ass.

Duca & Roberta, Please use the safety leash on the outboard motor. You certainly wouldn’t want to fall overboard and have the motor cut you all to pieces which has happened to several sailors in the last couple of years. Please do not attach it to your Wrist but rather around your waist or attached to your waist. Be safe and take care

I would have sailed the boat made sure I liked how it sailed before I bought a new engine for it what if you weren't happy with how it sails

Never heard of 2x the oil in a 4 stroke motor. Are you reading breaking proceedings for a 2 stroke? To much oil will cause bent valves and or rod because there's not enough room with Xtra oil

If you guys keep making your boat immaculate you probably won't be sailing 😁.

Life jackets you two!

Where's the keel ?

Hey Duca, your mom is HOTTT!!!!!! ;)

I thought you were concerned of the world and the sea contamination, but if you are using muriatic acid I guess you’re not concerned at all, I suggest you to wash out any remainings of the accid, it can be dangerous to the steel hull

Ooooh, so much darn barnacles already on ODD ! 😰 Look, I know nothing about copper paints or other stuff. But, what I know is use of pressure washers. You **do not want** to spray in direct direction - 90°. Never, ever but at a 45 or 30° so to "scrape" off dirt or here, barnacles. When spryaing direct, you push the contaminents even deeper into the surface. Otherwise, I love you kids ! Actually, I'm a bit jealous, being so young with such a huge venture ! From a silly old man in Montréal, Québec. 😍 PS Every human being should have a Fred in his/her life ! Friends like that are rare, very rare. 😉

What do you mean replace your engine😱

Is the house completely out of the picture?

I blame covid for all those barnacles

I wish I had a friend like Fred.

Repaint the bottom with cayenne pepper in the paint. The barnacles don’t like it!

Have to agree with others. Never seen a boats hull with so many barnacles after 3 months. I use hempel in my boat and it’s fine for 8/9 months.

Beautiful baby, just beautiful.
