At the end of the day, the title of the channel is Parlay Revival, all of these projects are part of said revival. You said it best, for the way she's looking to be used; these are required. Beyond that, it's your boat; who cares what people care what you do with it. Keep doing you Colin! Hope you and the crew have great holidays!

It never felt like it was dragging on to me. What you’re doing there is amazing work. So much good has come from the bulkhead series. Take your time, we’ll be here when you hit the water!

Your vids are uplifting and super positive. We need more positivity and love in the world. Thanks for all you do! Praying for the pooch.

Remember it's your boat, your channel, and your adventure. Live it, present it, and take all the time YOU want, we the viewers are all just enjoying the ride. Thanks for the escape you give me each week.

Sailing and diving footage is great.. but the out of the box repairs and "fixes" in the yard are what truly inspire a mechanic like me. Love the channel brother. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for letting us come along on the journey with you. If you make it to Oahu soon, first round is on me. Cheers.

Prayers for Lindo!! Keep doing what you need to do. We are here to cheer you on through the good and bad and watch the journey.

I don’t think anyone will ever know how much tedious work you’ve put in day in and day out over this past year. It’s been an honor to watch step by step, the 2nd revival of parlay 1st hand.

I like seeing ALL of the ins and outs of sailboat life. The work and the fun. I'm 63 and have poor health, so I live vicariously through channels like this. I managed to do some fun things in life, living in Yosemite for 25 years, climbing, skiing, body surfing, and backpacking. Two of the things that I didn't get to do because of health issues were travel and see the world, and blue water sailing. I love all of the side adventures y'all get into. I want to see it all. So yes.. please keep showing it all. Makes me wish I was young and healthy again. I so look forward to seeing your adventures. Even the boatyard stuff. The people who aren't just there for the fun, but are willing to get in there and do the grunt work are your real mates. They will be there when the chips are down. And no matter how grand your life might be, there will be tough times.

Don’t apologise for the boat modification videos I find them the most interesting part, especially your clear and detailed explanations, by far the best on KZread.

Gentlemen, your channel is interesting to folks like myself due to the repairs and upgrades you do on parlay or other boats. The sailing is cool, the parties are great, however the repairs and upgrades are the meat and potatoes of your channel. I suspect most of your subscribers feel the same way. Just my 2 cents

Was about to say the same!! That was the main reason I started and am hooked on both rebuilding a boat currently and picked up a sailboat and learned to sail. The fiberglass tutorials alone are priceless.

The maintenance and refit is my favorite part how many times can you watch another group of sailor's show you the same islands and sights , but the work is always something new

Very excited to see the upcoming electric upgrades! Take your time with everything, we can wait until you are completely happy with Parlay. Great work with the stitches, doc!

I miss Jamie in these latest videos! His laugh is the best! Love watching your journey 🫶🏻⛵️

Crossing the pacific is a operation that should be well planned and only done with a boat that you are really happy with, nothing half fixed and of course nothing without a weather protection. So it's effectively smart to do it know.

Don’t listen to anyone who says you should be doing something different just to please them. Even if it’s for luxury it’s YOUR BOAT! I speak for many of us when I say we’d rather your boat be done and perfect, then sailing with issues. Plus the repair content is what drew a lot of us here in the first place. Keep up the great work man, I always look forward to Sunday for these vids.

Beats the hell of me why you have to explain yourself Collin ? I have enjoyed every aspect of it all, sailing, diving, all the repairs and modifications. Great videos all the time, well done to you and all the crews. 👍👍

Hey Colin! Do your thing and don't worry about anyone complaining and keep the little man safe and we will all keep him in our prayers!

You guys sailing and travelling would be a pleasure to watch . but these videos that you are making right now shows the hard work that is necessary and undoubtedly is a inspiration for a lot of people.

No explanation necessary for the beautiful restoration repairs you are doing team... I suppose some people get bored easily. Well, ya know... What you are doing is a very high end youtube channel... Keep your standards up.. So now you are the resident freelance surgeon too... It just gets better...

Colin, just passing this on as our pets mean so much to a lot of us.......there is foundation run by Pat Mcaffee and his wife "Fur the Brand" here in the states that help people with the huge costs of cancer treatment for dogs. Great people if you need it.

F#ck man, in the water or on the hard, Parlay rocks.... can't wait for yall to get back in the water but I'm loving the content still... learning so, so much. Thanks Colin🤙🏼 yeu

Hey Colin, ignore minority of the viewer comments and just carryout all the repairs you are doing. You are doing an amazing job of everything and keep it up. Will be looking forward to your end product. 🙏

Colin . Please dude , just do your thing , I thoroughly enjoy your program . Love the rebuilds and creativity . I’ve had the pleasure of your country and now I’m old I live vicariously through you guys . Thankyou.

You guys do what you need to, we'll be here

I hope your dog is okay. They are a part of our families and bring us so much joy. The unconditional love dogs give to us helps to make our lives so much better!

Mad respect to you Colin and all the shipmates that have been on Parlay. Helping to make her the best she can be all I can say is I am with you all in spirit. God Bless

Rule #1 in life, never let other people tell you what to do! Your feet still hit the deck, your head is still on your shoulders. You must be doing everything JUST right... Carry On!

Forget the opinions and thoughts of others that do not agree with the way you are doing things. It's you that have to consider what you want and need for YOUR boat. It's you that is crossing the Pacific and it's you that must feel comfortable and safe on YOUR boat. All of the opinions from others are secondary and unimportant. Take all the time you need to make YOUR boat the way you want it and forget what others think about it. Just remember the old adage "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one".

Hey Colin you don't have to justify what your doing to anyone of us. You have the right to do as you please. I'm just thankful that you share it with us.

Colin and team, you dont have to explain. True fans are here for the long haul. Love to you all.

Awwww poor 🐶 Colin, know how much you love your puppa’s 🙏

Colin you are a total legend 🤙. You are the epitome of the saying 'A smooth sea never made a good sailor'.

All that really matters is that you wake up most mornings doing what you want to do. Get on the water when the boat is ready. Keep the content coming, it helps us who are stuck in office jobs see the world

Great Episode once again! You are on a great path to a successful launch (at your own pace) of Parlay! You making her fit for your needs and taste and that is awesome, keep going… Best wishes for Lindo and hope things turn out well. Greetings from Bangkok…

that fur baby trust you so much. If he didn't he would not let flip him on his back. You have been so positive with everything you have done on the boat. Stay positive for your pup .

What a brave and trusting dog getting the stitches removed onboard. Obviously is treated well and loved. It is my hope for a full recovery. Hey from Southern California!

I was raised with the adage "If you don't have time to do it right, then how are you going to find the time to do it over?" You're choosing to do it right so you don't have to do it over. Makes perfect sense to me. Besides there are a ton of channels showing the same old stuff about actually sailing, darn few do as great at showing the work involved and you stand out above the crowd with your patience and detailed explanations for how things get done and why. Prayers for Lindo, hope it turns out to be a false alarm.

It's your boat, your channel, you get to do whatever you want for however long you want. Keep up the good work!

Colin, you do what you need to do to get ready. Nobody has the right to tell you what to do! It’s your boat so do it your way! We can wait and we will be here when you’re ready! 🌴🌴🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Take your time, do it properly, most of us are enjoying watching and it means the travels will be better for all of us. Great channel, Thank you.

Miss Jamie and his positive attitude

Very practical explanation of the repairs and modification to your boat ! I'm not a sailor so as a engineer, I enjoy watching your repairs and construction improvements.

I honestly prefer the parlay as a boat refit channel one can learn from, rather than yet another sailing channel. Far more entertaining this way.

I hope Lindo gets a good report.

Bro it’s your boat. Take as much time as you want to work your vision to prepare the trip. People are GD ridiculous. Love what your doing

does not matter when you get in the water. it is you and your personality and the journey of life that spice up the channel. I look forward to seeing you slip into the water and be ready with what it takes to have a good time. the rest of the journey

Hoping for the best for Lindo.

Colin you're a solid guy and we are here for you. Thank you for sharing this journey with us..

These aren't luxury upgrades, they are Quality of Life (QoL) upgrades. And are obviously to most that they are very necessary. Work hard and play hard boys. We'll keep watching and learning.

Colin, you won't have to deal with the rain for much longer. The Dry season starts mid December. Good luck with your dog. Greetings from Costa Rica.

I enjoy watching shipyard upgrades. Keep on doing what you need to get done before you tackle the largest section of our earths continues ocean, the Pacific !

Colin. Brother. Come’on now, us watching you build stuff to make the boat more awesome is great viewing, we learn heaps and that’s really the luxury. Taking the piss is giving those comments a genuine gc response. I would however like to see the next project include a slide and swing rope. 🤟🏽

Safety & preparedness is so wickedly important.

You fellas are in the midst of putting together the best Lagoon 45 out there. I am digging the boat work videos. Not everybody can make work in the yard interesting, you fellas pull it off well.

Victron and Battleborn. Except no substitute. Good stuff my guy. Sorry to hear about your doggy. I was just watching a few of the videos where you first got him as a puppy. I'm sending positive vibes. And don't let the comments Pressure you. I imagine it's that demographic that originally subscribed for the adventure. They'll get what they want soon enough. For the rest of us the Repair & Renovation of the "Lagoon 450" is what for sure keeps bringing me back. But it is Colin and his Crew that prompts me to stay. It is there human experience. Living life the way everyone else wish they could.! You know they say "Genius is 1% inspiration. And 99% perspiration". And to that end your Einstein. So just keep doing what you need to do on your own time. Remember. " Slow is smooth. Smooth as fast.!" And that off the cuff circuit diagram was pretty good. I had to pause it and look for a sec. But you're good to go. I would have suggested a 48 volt system being approximately 4x more efficient. Requiring less expensive higher gauge cable. But technically it's not too late. You could just put those batteries into series to make 48 volts. But if either your Charge Controller and Inverter do not support 48V. You probably be out of luck. Short of returning and repurchasing 48 volt equipment. You will probably have to use the 12 volt system. But if 12 volt is what you wanted. Then you're all set.! But everything seems to be coming along nicely. And in a month. (or more probably too.) She'll be hitting the sea better than she's ever been. So from here it looks like you're over the hump. And it should be all downhill from here. But you know what they say. All the best laid plans. But no matter what comes up. Even if "It's not ideal". I have no doubt. "You'll make it work."! As always Great video.! 👍👍

You do you and what’s best for you and Parlay! Prayers going out that it’s not cancer or easily treatable worst case scenario. I absolutely can’t wait to see Parlay in the water again!!

Slow & steady wins the race botha’s...🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Colin - You’ll be done when you’re done and not before. Keep going according to YOUR schedule. You guys are the ones that will have to deal with any problems on your Pacific crossing, so don’t let anything or anyone hurry you guys. Make sure all your systems are operating at 100% before you leave. Like you said, fixing things in Linton are far cheaper and easier than trying to do it in Tahiti or the middle of the Pacific. You’ve waited this long; don’t leave until you’ve got all your systems dialed in and working properly. Tell anyone trying to rush you to keep their panty hose on, and not to get them in a twist. Live YOUR dream!

COLIN, You Remind me so much of myself.. Everytime something goes wrong just push forward . Push Forward , Never give up . Tomorrow is always better than yesterday. GOD SPEED on your Journey of LIFE ...... .

Colin, paws crossed for th doggy, awesome job with the build, but my heart goes out to your pooch, bay far the most important thing in your life !!! wooof!!

It wasn't just repairing the bulkhead. It was also repairing all the collateral damage caused by the bulkhead failure. Plus the other needful projects since you were in the yard by necessity anyway. It's been quite the adventure when it's all said and done.

And stripping out the interior without damaging it so badly that it can't be refitted then refitting it etc. ! Don't forget the many months of ground fibreglass down their pants and in their beds and having to move out of the boat during the worst of it so they had somewhere where they could actually get some sleep ! People tend to overlook the hardships they've had to endure this whole time because Colin doesn't show much of it in the videos, they see the Parlay crew letting their hair down now and again and they think that's all they do !

Good luck with your pup, hope he's well and healthy. Those same people who are so impatient are sitting at home in front of a computer, NOT working on their homes that will keep them alive while sailing across the Pacific Ocean (they might not even have a proper sense of size and distance because they can't read a map). So you folks never ever need to explain times spent fixing your home and making it the way you want it to work. Those other folks would throw a raft of wood on a pond and wonder why they are sinking. You have had the experiences thus far and know what works and what doesn't, hell you brought this boat back from the dead and have produced a vessel that will last decades if not longer. You've had the right people for the right jobs and should be proud of everything you've accomplished. Good on you all. Any more negative comments...just picture them on that sinking raft. Great job to you all. Cheers.

Colin, don't worry about it. I'm here for the fiberglass work. I'm no sailor, I'm a tinkerer.

How can people complain .....it's free (unless your a patron) I've watched you from the start and yes it's been mostly boat fixing ,doing up , and other projects ....love every second.

My two pups not only bark at anyone that walks past, even someone they've known for years, they will also bark at a blade of grass! Hope the test results come back with 'no cancer' .

It's all good and getting better - hopefully for Lindo too. Good doctoring. You better practice putting stitches in - cause everybody's going to remember, "Oh yeah, Colin knows about stitches....let's paddle this guy over to Parlay before he bleeds out...."

I've been really enjoying the videos while you've been working on the boat. Time in the yard is part of sailing so people shouldn't complain about seeing these types of videos.

It sounds like you learned a lot on what is helpful for long passages compared to the initial preparation of crossing the pacific ocean.

Colin I absolutely can't wait for every update on Sundays. Yall are doing a fantastic job rebuild your boat and building it back much stronger. I love all the new updates and seeing how you are so patient and very meticulous about your work. If your going to do something do it right the first time and that is what you are doing. I feel like I'm right there with yall and reality i wish I was. Can't say it enough awesome job guys.

To be honest I’m enjoying watching the yard work, repairs and building processes more than the cruising stuff anyway.

Take your time and don’t rush it, love your work👍

The reason I love this channel is all the projects, keep at it!

Colin, tell those coach-sailors to piss of, we love you working on the Lagoon ! Very educational and rewarding to see your progress. And for sure, the base needs to be good for all the big adventures you will be sailing to ! Take care & success on the refit ! She's getting there ! ............. eventually ;-)

Colin, Looking back on all that you have accomplished, it is amazing that you've come so far. That was a major and epic repair that you and the mates worked tirelessly at. I don't understand some folks, but know we are ALL rooting for you and in your corner.

Don't worry about the complainers....they are not sailors. Having sailed across the South Pacific, you are quite right to get everything you want and need done now. There will be little opportunity there to fix anything and you want your time there to enjoyment time!

You do you Colin and crew. You're doing great. As someone you and others has become inspired to join the lifestyle, knowing the realities of downtime is just as important if not more than edging out trails across the seas.

Thanks Colin! You do what you need to do to get the boat the way you believe it should be, and the way you want it to be. Looking forward to the improved electrics! Have fun!!

Hey Colin, thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Love seeing the variety of skills needed to repair and maintain a boat, too work.

I understand people love seeing the sailing ⛵. I do as well, but seeing reality and what it takes to get to sailing interest all of us. Not knowing cost and how much labor it takes would have us lost. Thank you for taking us through your journey.

This will be the BEST Lagoon 45 on the planet. Congrats to the whole team. Best wishes to the little fighter!

Don't mind people and their comments Coli. U do u. We here to support u. U do need a shade from sun&rain. U can't possible go thru Pacific ocean without it

You keeping doing you Colin! I have never sailed or been on a sailboat but just love your channel- no wokeness, no bitching, no egos it’s very refreshing to watch. 👍😎

I hate when people are negative!!! It’s your boat and your channel. Why can’t people just enjoy what is happening? But I do have to admit that I can’t wait to see y’all headed out into the wild blue!!!

Totally agree with you. Everything should be 100 percent perfect before setting sail. You have come a long way so no need to rush at this point. Thanks for sharing your journey.😎

It's your boat bro! Do what you want to it my friend...

I like your renovation and upgrade videos, keep em coming..

The amount of work Your doing and have done. Takes time. Alot of time and dollars. At that! Enjoy what you can, and live life to its fullest.

As someone who spent like 50 hrs plus on the gelcoat repairs on a big block chevy boat . I appreciat how much work goes into what make a boat work. Well done dudes

Don’t listen to those impatient folks it’s your f’ng boat you sail when you are ready! Will be nice to see it in the water when you are ready. I still enjoy the boatyard vids.

Drives me mad, people think they can have an opinion on when you should be doing what! YOU do YOU, they can choose to watch or not. I'm enjoying watching you get ready for your adventures and who cares if they are luxury items or not its your boat, your adventure, your choice. 😃

Keep doing what you need for your journey. I guess others don’t understand the path you are on. I really enjoy watching you tackle these problems sure beats watching people raise their kids while sailing sometimes.

No explanations needed ! But your lady is looking fine ! You are doing it right !!

I love the episodes where you do work. And I really enjoy when you show the various aspects of sailing, ship-yard time and adventures. Not only the adventures.

Hey guy's, Parley is looking great. Don't listen to the people with negative messages, they don't know shit anyway. Hopefully your dog gets better, because my friend here and I ,watch y'all every Sunday, and we love the videos. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. 👍👍💕🐾GO Lindo

Almost there Colin… I look forward to your time when you splash. Keep the faith.

yes parlay belongs in the water ,she and her crew are part of the ocean. cant wait to see the sail away party. wish Jamie could be apart of parlay again.

The adventure continues. Land or sea, it's all part of the journey. Keep living it well.

Good work Colin and the rest of Team Parlay

Positive vibes for you and your pup. I’m a dog owner too so I get it. My dog had a growth removed two days ago so he’s wearing the cone of shame too.

Class act, and just the fact that you have filmed and edited and added music and made sure the videos are formatted for KZread and then upload all while working on your boat and making continuous progress is impressive. That is not to mention all of the things that you do for other people and then at some point find a little bit of time for yourself. Class act, total legend my bro!

If there is no urgent reason to get splashed and set sail, you're right to take your time and do all the things you need to do the proper way. Not only because you're in the right spot for it, but you'll better be confident and ready before taking off. @ 17:46 In order to keeping the work up to scratch, it's equally important to keep a good balance between work and leisure. Keep it up guys!
