5 Years Neighbors Laughed at Our Building a Yacht in Backyard, But Then They Were Amazed
This is the story of building our homemade yacht in the backyard. We built the yacht mainly with my wife, but relatives and friends also helped us in the construction.
We have been building the yacht for 5 years, and spent $ 30,000 on all materials.
In this time-lapse we will show you the whole process of creating a wooden sailing yacht from making frames to sea trials under sail.
We are a happy young couple, Gena and Vita. We like to equip life around us with our own hands. So we feel as independent as possible and realize ourselves creatively. We love making videos and try to make them useful. Therefore, we will develop and further develop this channel. We have many more construction projects that we will surely surprise you with. If you support family values and love to create with your own hands, welcome to our CREATIVE COUPLE family
In 2017, we were forced to sell the yacht as we wanted to quickly finish building our house, but we are already hatching a plan to build a new expeditionary aluminum yacht.

*Hello friends. We have started a new series of videos about building a dream workshop. In the first series, we prepared the old garage for restoration, as it will be part of the workshop. And they destroyed the ancient barn to the ground, as it does not fit into the new architecture of our backyard. We hope you enjoy our first video in this series:* kzhead.info/sun/ZaeFedSsgJWma58/bejne.html
Wasn't surprised by the pirate flag at all, you're true pirates because you challenge the impossible and sail to your dream :)
Im honestly curious of what difficulties were present due to your wife (girlfriend?) being pregnant for some of the project, and how that effected the timeline for the project and how it affected stuff like moral.
I once made a cutting board. So I'm impressed by your wood project to say the least.
Hope you are still enjoying Galaxy. I'll check out your shop, yes. Bon voyage!

It doesn't look like a typical self-built DIY project, this looks like it came straight out of a shipyard, built by veteran yacht builders. Insane detail and quality!

you are amazing. sending love from America
I can't even fathom where you begin, to build a yacht. All the hard work that was put into this was amazing.
My man woke up one day and decided to build a yacht!
tbh like any project ... start with the idea ... then a drawing ... then make plans ... the usual process for anything ...
@@0623kaboom But those are the plans. Making it is a different story when you are doing it for the first time. You have to figure it out as you go, and try not to mess up (something done out of sequence, or scrapped something.), so you don't have rework or have to back track the process. As a life long non-union machinist, manufacturing engineer and now a small business owner I can tell you tat after I get the idea, draw the prints and make the plans,------If it is your first time making it, you will find yourself "winging it", intelligently as you figure out how to make it. Just drawing the prints and sending it to china, (which was the "USA busting" decision, to mix free enterprise with communism.), is what you speak of. The reason why their neighbors laughed, (for those who did), is because they never thought of what it takes to make something. Now they are amazed, at what we sound be doing.
Now they are amazed, at what we "should" be doing.
Apperently start by building a covered area to build it in, then pick a design and find the plans. Then just start picking away.
i cant even imagine how rewarding that felt to have it on the water with your family
Man what an accomplishment. thank you for letting me watch this journey with yall. Beautiful Boat. enjoy!!!
I've been a carpenter/woodworker for over 40 years and I'd never attempt anything of that scale. Some people have a gift and you are definitely gifted. Great job, absolutely beautiful. The satisfaction of enjoying something you've created with your own hands cannot be described. Again my hat's off to the both of you.
try something new if you are able to! get out of your comfort zone!
One of my neighbors did this a few years back. Him and his brother worked on a boat for about 2 years every evening, and when they were done, they ended up selling it. Someone saw it and bought it cash for 140k, so the brother took off for a year and built two more, and now they build 4 yatchs a year and make a living off them. Went from welders/ carpenters to boat builders. Lol
They beated CC! 👍 :-))
@@schlaemzas thats how i became bi lol woohoo
My uncle was a carpenter. He used to come up to our cabin where my did was doing some woodwork. Weekends and vacation, he wouldn't touch a hammer with a ten foot pole. I've done some woodwork, and what these people did is not even possible in my mind. Wonder if the true story involved a boat builder they could consult with? I can't imagine how many times they effed up and had to throw it out and start over. Just look at that table in the cabin. And the patience...5 years...
I can't even imagine how one decides to get into such a massive undertaking as building A FUCKING YACHT by hand! And not only that, but also have it turn out as incredible as it did. I'm truly in awe of this video. I really hope things in Ukraine go back to normal soon and you can go back to sailing in the Galaxy with your family as you should. Slava Ukraina!

Maybe there is a yacht building for dummies. Seriously though, maybe he is just an extremely good carpenter.
He is an incredible craftsman. Beyond competent and chock full with all kinds of Journeyman skills.
I thought also he must work for a boat company building these...
Totally amazing.
Yeah, theres no way someone can be that good at something, that polished, that precise, the first time doing it. Especially at that scale. These two have experience.
I do some wood working and I'm a mechanical engineer. I can tell this can't be done just by watching tutorials... This couple has some serious skills and backgrounds. Tons of dedication heart and love obviously
Same. This is amazing dedication to a tough project.
ahh ..that's why there is a "pause " button ..DUH! :)
Another thing i can think of is paying for some architect in the ship building industry to draw up a blueprint.
I’m now building my second boat. Full credit to the guy. It’s a lot of work. I know. But anyone with reasonable carpentry skills could build this boat. Laminated frames, strip planked hull. There’s an endless list of videos on KZhead on these tried and true techniques. Follow the plans ( which he probably didn’t draw ), be accurate, and it will turn out fine. It’s not rocket science. Just hard work.
Fantastic job, it's beautiful!
This is incredible. I think too often some take for granted the amount of work, time, and talent that goes into making things, almost like they magically appear out of the end of a machine. This gives a high level of respect for what goes into building something from nothing, just the design alone, let alone the building of it! I applaud you folks!
My grandfather and father did the same thing in our yard in Banff when I was young. The boat was named Galatea, which is now the name of my business. Great memories, awesome work guys!
Fun fact : "Galatea" is a mythological character whose name means "she who is milk-white". It is based on the Greek root γᾰ́λᾰ (gála, “milk”), which also gave the word "galaxy", which is... the name of the boat built on the video. Fun fact n°2 : the word "galaxy" actually comes from γαλαξίας (galaxías, “milky”). In Greek mythology, the trickster god Hermes suckled the infant Heracles at the breast of Hera, the queen of the gods, while she was asleep. When Hera awoke, she tore Heracles away from her breast and splattered her breast milk across the heavens, forming the white strip of stars that was called the "Milky Way" during thousands of years. Later we discovered that all the stars visible with bare eyes were within the same group of stars, and that there were countless of such groups of stars very far from our. We then used the term "Milky way" to name our own group of stars and we used the root "galaxias" to name these groups of billions of stars.
