I feel sorry for this couple....

Where is our man who lives in Russia and reworking a sunk steel hull boat?

A while ago I came across this Youtube channel of a young couple who bought a Brazilian wooden schooner. From the get-go I thought they had made a very unwise choice and the further they get into it the more I'm convinced they have made a huge mistake. But, like a accident on the freeway I find myself having to watch.

This has been a very interesting project to watch. First, they are great video bloggers. Second, the craftsmanship is amazing.

Was the boat a bad purchase? Yes, if you wanted a boat. No, if you wanted the perfect boat for a restoration documentary.
