Yet another youtube channel, the most clueless, but most charming yet?

ok, so they use the horrible big bold dramatic titles, the filming and editing is really poor, especially the sound. They are dangerously clueless and disaster prone, its like watching a car crash.
And yet, and yet….. they are irrepressiblycharming and optimistic, and they are going for it!

Young brit couple with no experience buy an old steel boat in italy rip it out and bodge it back together in weeks and set sail for the amalfi coast, kind of.
Its strangely compulsive and you can only wish them well. There is something real about them, unlike many others. At least their overly dramatic titles are actual real disasters :) not, it was so windy in the marina pontoon!
If they dont lose the boat or drown, they will be seasoned sailors in 6 months and probably will make round the world!

Yes, quite entertaining and I am sure we have all been through some of the problems they are dealing with. I thought this is going to be a shipwreck when they started ripping out the whole of the interior 10 minutes after getting the keys, but yes they might make it. Hope they do.

Good find Steve 👍. When you start from a standing start, you make multiple mistakes but also end up learning quite quickly from those mistakes. Some shocking weather early on for them which was quite unfortunate. Perhaps the most heinous of crimes was the chipboard interior they installed. I could feel the splinters from here 🙄.

I get the impression they are on a very limited budget, so chipboard was used to just make a bed and table for now. Their young and will manage with a spot of camping in an empty hull. Still, they are out there having a go as Steve said.
