Pat and Frankie are now posting videos again and are investigating how they might mend their boat:

Not something I'd normally watch and won't be in future.

Are there women with bikinis on in the clip? I’m a staunch feminist and do not approve of the exploitation of birds by social media and the like.

They seem to be making a big deal out of “removing the mast and boom”. Perhaps due to being “entirely new to sailing”.
I guess it is bound to be a challenge going from no boating knowledge to buying and maintaining a large sailing boat. Perhaps they should have sailed / chartered a few more boats before leaping to purchase?
No appetite for sitting through long videos of not very much, so no idea if there are other conclusions.

Seriously I am wondering if I’ll last long enough to see Madz finish rebuilding his cat. Just taken 8 episodes to tidy up and build a workbench. Still enjoy it though

Its alright. They don't explain why they decided to change all the through hulls and seacocks, the brief view of a bucket of seacocks suggests they are all in good nick. I will keep watching to see what the surveyor thinks and repairs. These days it is easy to scroll through the boring stuff.

Thanks Kevin, that’s encouraging.
