💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

💙 Massive thanks to our amazing team of carpenters that never let us down and continue to amaze us at every step of the process: Toninho, Zeca, Hélio, Claiton, William, Nezo, Nico, Adilson, Beto and Luiz. YOU ARE LEGENDS!
Yaba and Tally Ho splashing within days of each other after years of rebuild and rework, amazing. congratulations to you all.
I was wondering about the number of people that had watched the building of tallly ho that watched this one two. I think tallly ho and expeditionevansyoutube started me watching them
Now ran sailing youtube is getting to the point of flipping the boat over, another great channel.
Two amazing builds. Each unique.
Yaba, Tally Ho and the ,not so wooden, Project Brupeg
Yes what a fun coincidence!! Love it. Two of my favorite boats.
It’s a banner week in the sailing world! Yabba and Tally Ho launching so close together makes my heart happy!
Tally ho launched blew my mind, these guys also. Both boats were in terrible condition.
@@HiltsyAdventure Yup. At frist sight both projects seemed to be pretty much impossible ...and then you meet the people that proof that if you re crazy and passionate enough, many times "impossible" is just a state of mind.
Yaba looks at home now . Not a single leak . That is testament to all the hard work and skill that went into rebuilding her .
Yabá and Tally Ho splashing in the same week on KZhead, what a treat!
Good work ❣️
Ikr. It's gonna be strange with them both in the water now. Only have one youtuber to watch Finnish a boat now- a boat by the river.
@@coronapack / SV Delos has just committed to building a new Aluminium Catamaran over in Australia ? ( I think that's where ) from the plans - its going to be a real honey of a boat !
Congrats, 3.5 years, of watching you both and the dogs, (the black dog climbing the stairs), with love and admiration wishing you the best.
Being honest, I never thought this day would come in the beginning. I thought, this is a project with no plan and it's going to run out of money. I don't know how much it cost, but now, I don't care. I think you guys (Ben, MP, and especially MP's Dad, and the whole yard) totally smashed this project out of the park. Parabéns!
Yeah, I didn't think that timber was worth the effort of drying for burning! _The kids are alright._
Congratulations on "rescuing" Yaba! Also, I love that you also "rescued" the two dogs. What a wonderful life they are going to have.
...and the dingy and the motor!!
Where do they go for the bathroom?
@@rolfsvensson5777 They have two "heads" or "bathrooms" on board.
@@webbtrekker534 I was talking about the barking dogs! Where do they go when they are in need? Do they belong on a boat period?
@@rolfsvensson5777 OK, I knew folks who cruised with pets. They used a woven mat with a very strong eye spliced on one corner. . The dogs were trained to use the mat and then it was tossed over the side and drug for a few miles for cleaning. More then likely the dogs will use the swim platform and it get sloosed off with buckets.
This ship is a blessing for the eye! For me the most beautiful ship to own! One Dutch word! GEWELDIG!!!
Very nice ❤
There's nothing more pleasing than to reach your goals in life. I wish you both a wonderful time and safe travels.
🎉💃🏼🕺CONGRATULATIONS on a SUCCESSFUL SPLASH!🕺💃🏼🎉
"Swimming with our own finns" Has to be the internet statement of the month! :)
Yaba looks impressive big even in the water, and Ben handles her like she is a toy boat !
Ben and MP you must be so proud of what you have accomplished and so happy with the result. I find it difficult to believe it's been over 3 years since I started watching you and the shipyard crew rebuild this boat. What a journey and what a result. Congratulations to all involved.
I bet Leo didn’t say he splashed his boat, he’s a real sailor! 😊
The lines of the boat---a traditional dhow--are quite beautiful, It should give you lots of pleasure.
She looks so graceful back on the water in full glory. Well done you guys :) Cheers Ray (UK)
We have to agree! Thank you so much!
@@SailingYaba She pulls like a _train_ too! With the high bow it looks like planing.
YABA and Tally Ho, both in one week. How great is this? Congratulations to you both along with your 'shipmates'. Yaba is truly a gorgeous lady of the sea.
That ariel shot of YABA looks GREAT. You guys must be proud.
She takes my breath away on the water, Yaba's so sleek and sophisticated - I can't wait for the first night-dive to see how the underwater-lights fare !
@17:27 is definitely a “finally!!!” moment. 😉
Wow, Yaba, she handles like a sports car! Maneuverable and solid, well done!!
Happy ( MP's ) Dad, great job Sir.
Good job Captain, First Mate and crew. I am so happy for the engine. Well done. Enjoy the efforts of your labor. Many new adventures ahead. ⛵️👍🏝️🌞
Feel great for you guys. What a perfect page in Yaba history. Now, Ben.....whenever you start that beautiful engine, keep your eyes on those gauges. Don't walk away until that oil pressure makes you smile.. :)
Yaba looks so beautiful out on the water. People scuba diving off your boat will have such a special experience.
We are so proud of you guys, so so so proud. This was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, builds on KZhead, you have a boat that is better than when it was originally built. Well done, this is a massive massive project you guys undertook, with no other choice than using the boat yard and builders.
You guys have worked hard to realise your dreams. You deserve to relax now and enjoy the journey. God bless.
Yaba looks super cool at night with the lights
Nice to see water under the keel finally she looks very smart and trim on the water.
Yaba'-Daba-do I'm so happy for you keep the videos coming, it's getting closer now and everything is looking beautiful, take care until the next time.
It feels unreal to see Yaba in her right element. Awesome results of your hard work. Enjoy life, Yaba and each other. Love from Norway! Arne
You’ve done such a terrific job on Yaba' and the engine room looks amazing!🎉 So happy for you both.
She looks beautiful and ready to go. After a very long rebuild, she is finally about ready to cut the cord and take on the adventures she was built for.
Remembering back to the early days, all the doubters, especially about the engine that is just purring now. If what we've seen so far is any indication it's going to be an impressive boat under way.
Once the kettle comes out, you're home! Congratulations and continued best wishes!
Yaba cuts thru the water so nicely with that clean new bottom ! The engine work was first class , reliability is key to worry free cruising and she sounds strong and steady .
As many of y'alls videos as I have seen, it has never truly dawned on me just how BIG Yaba actually is until just now. For some reason, seeing Ben turn the wheel while she's in motion really brought it into perspective for me. I'm so excited for you guys. Congratulations! I hope you guys can sail up to Annapolis MD sometime and let me buy you both a drink. That would be pretty cool. At any rate. It's so awesome seeing this project finally come together and move under its own power. WITHOUT any leaks. Lol.
It was amazing to see Nico enjoying a ride on the river and one of the brothers who're the owners of the yard enjoying a barbecue at the end. I hope at some point all those involved at that yard get a chance for a short cruise and a barbecue with you as well. Especially the older gentlemen who's almost always never seen without a cigarette, I'm sorry his name escapes me right now. The level of craftsmanship that went into this rebuild was a pleasure to watch, getting it done old school with blood, sweat and tears as they say. Looking very much forward to continuing to see what and where your up to next. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
great to sea Yaba navigating on the water and how nice it looks all lit up at night
What beautiful story, a beautiful family and two beautiful dogs 🐕 and of course a beautiful boat, GO YABA
Tally Ho just entered the water as well, both owners fulfilling the same dream. Restoring your wooden boats from the keel up. Two great videos 👍👍
It’s very cool to watch Yabá motor on the water and as I look her over, I can remember all the little details of how each individual piece was built. I feel like I know her almost as well as you do. So happy for you both!
I just watched the episode again and it was better the second time around. Yabá is one very special boat! Those lights under the waterline, the ship horn, everything is perfect!
You have well and truly earned this grand success! Congratulations to you both, to the dogs, your family and friends, and the truly awesome shipyard crew.
Exciting, and rewarding achievement ahead of the dream future that you two are creating step by step! Perfect...love the wonderful proficiency you two project in all that you do as you learn, and also the seemingly effortless capability to carry foreign languages!!
It is so heartwarming to see Yabá back on the water. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Congrats! You know…..I thought this looked great in the shipyard! It looks even more incredible on the water! Great job!
It's wonderful to see everyone so happy! Good journeys ahead.
Almost 100k come on guys subscribe congrats on the first sail. You must be so proud off your selfs and the guys at the shipyard.
What a treat this week Tally Ho and Yaba launching within days of each other MP and Ben you both looks so happy and relaxed with a nice bbq with the builders and your two adotbed dogs see you next week
I'm so happy that you're safe onboard Yaba. What a beautiful boat. Who'd have believed three and a half years ago she'd be as gorgeous as she is now? All our love and here's to seeing many more episodes on the finishing and living aboard your pride and joy xx David Swain and family xx❤😊🎉❤
I follow all the episodes from the beginning. Very exciting. You have fulfilled one dream, many more will follow. enjoy life
Ah,...May you have red sky at night for you well-deserved future journeys. It looks like you have not lost your touch at the wheel. Landlubbers are gone and the dogs are with you. What a wonderful world.
It's so special seeing Yaba underway. Highest Blessings
Y'all are the luckiest folk on the face of the Earth right now congratulations
After watching you from the very start, it seems unreal that you are back on the water. I can't wait to see where Yaba takes you!!!!!
Well I am happy to see her moving under her own power. And you guys giving her some use she needs a little break in time I would think. I can only imagine how happy you two are to be living on Yaba again. Been a long hard journey. But you did it !
Nice to see you both looking a lot more relaxed. Well done for everything, your hard work has really paid off. She looks wonderful.
So nice to see the boat afloat. Congratulations!!
It's great to finally see Yaba on the water. Can't wait to see her under sail.
Beautiful lighting at night, she cuts a fine line through the water at motoring, cant wait to see her under full sail, well done to you all and the traditional boat builders that put her together again.❤😊😊😊
Guys, Yaba looks so majestic on the move from above. Can't wait to see her under full sail. ⛵
Огромный Привет из Казахстана а точнее из Алма-Ата (Алматы) !!!!!! Я давно наблюдал за вашим проектом и очень рад что он завершился!!! Ура!!!!!🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿. 7 футов под килем!!!!!

I'm SOooo impressed with the end project! She 's A Floating Queen!
These shots during the engine test is a good sample of how Yaba will look as it goes into the sunset for real. post-partum. 🙂
What joy to see you sail... Ben at the helm... these are images we've long awaited... welldone and congratulaition Mp for the work on the engine...
Well done to everyone who worked to give Yabba her new life. Most of all, well done you two for taking her on and making a go of such an enormous project. Sail safe, sail on and may you ever find safe harbour on your travels. Cheers! R. 😎👍🍻
what with Tally Ho and Yaba being launched it's been a great week, wish you all good sailing, and take care, MP you are one smiley person, your smile goes from one ear to the next.
Yaba looks great in the water.😊
❤👏👏👏👏❤️ Cannot wait to see her sail!
You guys have the coolest boat of all the sailing channels
Dear Maria Paula and Ben, Willeke and I love to see how well Yabá is acting in the water and how smoothly the engine runs so we guess Yabá is seaworthy now. Of course there still needs to be done a lot before Yabá is completely ready but the most tuff parts are laying behind you. We look forward to your next episode and send you love from the Netherlands
Congrats guys on your first trials. You are living the dream and all things will work out in finishing the boat.
Guys, you all are so natural, last week watching Yabá being propelled I had butterflies in my stomach in anticipation that everything goes well. It was a relief to see she took on to the water happily. With another week gone by and Yabá is doing more than well, she looks so beautiful in those drone shots, congratulations once more
Oh Wow!!! She is looking beautiful! Oh, Yaba looks nice too.
yaba looks beautiful going down the river,,,,,,,,SWEEEEEET......
Hard work done but not forgotten as this allows you to fully appreciate the freedom and serenity soon to be yours, and so deserved ...
Great to see so many amazing KZhead boats splashing. Yaba, Arabella, and Tally Ho. Best of luck on your new journey.
Yaba looks so amazing at night with colored lights under water.
NOW she's a boat! Free and away under her own power :)
I just can not believe how beautiful this ship is
Hit your lines it has been a pleasure to watch this amazing couple! Sucess and following seas
Yes Yes Yes.... Yaba looks so good on the move ... verry well parking skills of captain Ben .... looking forward to the coming adventures ....greets and all the best wishes from friesland...max...
Amazing how Ben looks like he's conned that boat many times before! Almost as if he was born to it!
Fair winds and a following sea to you all. Each time I see this incredible achievement I get chills. It is so awesome to see Yaba afloat! Can’t wait to see her all cleaned up. Let the fun begin 🎉 🍾 🎉 and maintenance becomes a routine, no longer work. ⚓️ Anchors away.
Wow! She can move through the water so gracefully - great job, so happy for you guys.
So nice to see you guys back in the water again and no more sinking
Rotanizin her zaman doğru olması ve mutluluk içinde yaşamınız olsun
Yes, and as long as I've been following yours and Tally Ho's restoration, something about your launch just took all our breath away, and TOTAY'S barbecue at the end was magic...cheers...rr Normandy, France
Seeing thr wake off of Yaba's prow, under way, superb. Can we get a "Finally" in Roberta style from Maria Paula.....A truly joyous episode in your saga towards sailing again for you both!
Yes get some weight on that bow lol amazing work guys she is stunning, i gave a little cheer on that first aerial shot of her under motor 🎉✊🏻🏴
The dogs seem to love the sailor life. Good for them.
I was surprised by how nimble Yabá is. But from how she handles, I think she's saying, "Let's go!"
I cannot believe just how happy I am for you guys! Congratulations on progress so far. Being on the water must be magical for you two after all that hard work. Looking forward to a channel shift to sailing and using that wonderful vessel. Good luck and God bless.
Thank you so much!!
So cool! I’m not surprised it’s all turning out perfect, the love that went into making Yaba happen is legendary. May happiness follow your journeys! 😊
Wonderfull to see YabA movin g on The water ❤❤❤
