There is no better feeling than sitting back after completing a huge part of a project like this, and having a beer or 6 with close friends. great work!

Congratulations to y'all on a big milestone in the building of Rediviva! Thanks for inviting all of along for the journey.

I have to say, I think this is one of your best edited videos so far. The use of all the different camera angles makes the viewer more accurately appreciate all the details that you have to pay attention to in order for this milestone to be achieved. The music choices were also on point. Seeing Garrett's hands shaking really drove in the emotion of the day. So nerve-wracking! So exciting! FANTASTIC job you guys. She's beautiful and awe-inspiring.

An ancient tradition of celebrating the stepping of the mast and the boat becomes a sailing vessel . Congratulations indeed!

What a fantastic day for you guys. Congratulations! With respect to the finger pinch, "if you're not bleeding, you're not sailing."

With the mast up she is now officially a sailing boat. Good luck for the future. From Durban, South Africa

A tremendous milestone! I too shed tears of joy for Rediviva. She is becoming a fine young lady, certain to safely carry you wherever you travel. Thank you for the great work on this video.

Words fail, and I'm a preacher! They need to add a "love it" button. Congratulations! I think I may cry!

David Hall......Well said mister. With love and understanding we could cure 90% of the world's problems

Ruth, this deserves nothing less than a short film award! Extraordinary editing!! VERY WELL DONE!! Every angle and the music and the drone shots?? All perfectly melded together. Congratulations on being such a talented editor. And on the mast! Which for y’all has already been up awhile. Best editing by far in any of your episodes. And of course Garret had to injure himself. Couldn’t have it any other way right? Very well done. A pleasure to watch.

No matter how much love, craftsmanship, time, and yes money are spent on a boat it is just a boat until the mast is stepped. In that magic moment, the masts transform a lifeless boat into and yacht with purpose and a destination. For on that day, the mast becomes the transmission that converts the Wind into motion and takes you to your dreams. What a day for you two! Congratulations "Beyond All Things Is The Sea" SENECA Capt. Tom

Definitely the most beautiful boat in the marina of white boats. Everybody will know you wherever you go.

Wow o wow wow ,,,, so pleased for you both ,,, what a day and G will have a great little scar to remind him of this day forever lol ,,, thanks so much for this lovely day to share with you in amongst all this negative world at the mo x

Hey Sailing Vessel Rediviva!!!! I found myself smiling for ear to ear watching when that mast was in! If you get discourage, I would recommend watching two episodes, the one where you move her out of Washington, and this one! Wow! Great Job Garrett, and Great filming, editing and music Ruth. Thank you Reid for all you do, you are a great Brother! Nice Drone shots too!!!!

The love and respect you two show for each other makes my heart smile. Even while under stress that simple “thank you” and “you’re welcome” is something that most couples forget to do. A team like yours is hard to beat. Congrats on your milestone.

What am awesome milestone. The vessel you've laboured over for so long. The last that you painstakingly molded and shaped in its final resting place. You've done her proud my friends. Congratulations, you deserve a beer or ten.

You would not think putting a big long stick in the boat would make such a profound change. Wow, you built an awesome sailboat!

Congratulations you two !! That's one helluva milestone for Rediviva and her goal to be wind powered....Keep doing what your doing...Because what your doing is amazing !!!

Glorious day indeed for you and for rediviva, she has now seas and oceans to sail ! May she and the crew have safe sails !

Absolutely beautiful! Hard to believe that when I first started watching, you were still working in a large plastic tent with hunks of wood and no boat shape. So happy for you guys!

Wow, what a wonderful occasion. I have to admit I was swept up in the emotion of it all like so many others. I've been following this project from the outset and every major milestone is something to savour. Congratulations to you both. The drone footage is the icing on the cake. Great perspective.

Most fortunate to see our Seasport in the parking lot just waiting for her new parents to drag to Washington State, as we did in March of 2020. Best boat we have ever owned and thank God because we bought it sight unseen. Though we didn't find your channel until a week ago (yes, 87 episodes watched in one week) I remember your boat back behind the bathrooms. ❤️

I don't know how many times this has probably been said already, but your video editing skills are definitely a cut above the norm. Been waiting for this particular milestone and I wasn't disappointed in the importance you made of it.

Arrrrr, She be looking like a true sailing vessel now! Great work you guys!

WOW....what a great day....The crew all stepped up(pun intended)...She is alive now...celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel.

I think this deserves 3 cheers... hip hip hoora hip hip hoora hip hip hoora. Well done guys,

now she finally look like a SAIL boat Well done you two

Congratulations! Five years is a long time. You are still so motivated, and your abilities continue to grow just as your love for one another grows❤️🙂

Yahoo!!!!! What an accomplishment! I can't believe I've watched you from the very first video, 5 years ago. I haven't missed a single video, and Lord willing, I'll be here when you set sail for the 7 seas.

What a Moment, what a Leap - its a Sailboat now. Congratulations! Be proud of what you have made!

I saw the finger pinch immediately.

If it makes me want to yell "FUCK YES!!!" at a million decibels I can't imagine how you feel.

It's amazing how you guys perform all the camera work with only a few people while doing all the work on the boat itself.

No tears were shed. Well maybe one of joy for you both and swab.

Gravity of the situation, or gravity itself, anticipate to both. Wishing Rediviva and crew the best.

One word - A W E S O M E ------ Congratulations to both of you.

and Swab says 'about time ive been waiting for my own tree post'

Nothing like a little pee on your feet while you're laying in bed in the morning. A mast boot would jump up the list of things to do if that were the case - but it doesn't seem like Swab can climb out on his own so maybe it's not a problem.

Watched from the start but never commented before (at least I dont think I have). Cant believe how emotional I felt watching your hands shake as that mast fell finally into its socket. You dudes should be so proud of yourselves for what youve achieved. She looks like a real boat now !

Hey!!! Congratulations!! I’ve been really really really sick the past 2 years and have missed so much of y’all. I started when you had just finished the shop to build her. Quick old Navy man tip for those you teach about port and starboard when they are confused and why your boat is always a “she”. Tell them to stand on the stern and stare at the bow. Then say she has PMS. Stand for left to right Port Midship and Starbord! Congrats again so proud for y’all. Oh, Captain “Ruth”, tell yourself FIRST MATE “Garret” congrats for me and buy him a beer for me. Lol. Oh. Did you say her name?

Wonderful, beautiful work. Your post "made my day". Feel so happy for you guys. it made me have joy deep inside. I needed that. Thank you. Daron

It’s called a popit bite, had a few. Congrats you guys it’s a great day hoist one for all of us!!!!!

Blood and sweat, but no tears, smiles all round. Happy sailing.

One more milestone reached! Aerial photographer did a really nice job.

Fantastic job a milestone for you guys. Poor swab is wondering what all the commotion is about. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Due to an ongoing health issue, I only have the occasional drink. Save it for special occasions. Well today just happens to be a good enough reason for me to hoist a beer in celebration. WooHoo, does she ever look good. Congratulations Garret and Ruth, a job well done. Garret, I have pinched the skin off of my hands so many times I lost count. Little bastards hurt like no tomorrow. I feel your pain LOL.

Well done with stepping your mast. You had a great day for it. Chees Ian Langley new Zealand

Congrats on another milestone, I couldn’t help but admire that RED among all the boring white in the marina!

What a day. Congrats guys! She's come a long way and really taking shape now.

Congratulations! One step closer to being a boat.

Doesn't it floating make it a boat? I'm confused as to it not being a boat yet. Even without sails, the engine could get started and it could move under it's own power, so that would still be a boat, right? They could hire four to six guys to row/paddle and it would already be a boat, slow, but a boat. Heck, they could just work that tiller back and forth and get some momentum. Please explain it for this land-lubber. Thanks!

Thomas Russell the engine isn’t hooked up yet, it’s in the boat and does run but it’s not ready for sea. If they had oar locks they could row it but that’s not practical or realistic. So without her two primary means of self propulsion she’s technically a pretty barge.

Congratulations guys on getting the main mast up and secured.

It seems as though 2020 hasn't been a dumpster fire for everyone. Congrats Ready Viva!

Congratulatons! And a huge shoutout to Reid for capturing so much with the amazing drone footage. Well recorded for posterity :-)

I'll shall celebrate this milestone in which I have achieved today with many Crowns and Cokes!!! Hey, don't judge me. It took lots of watching to get that mast up. I strained my damn pinky on the mouse!! GREAT JOB!! CONGRATS!!

You hoisted the mast, you freaking hoisted the mast......long, long way from WA state you two......what a day you both earned. Congratulations, enjoy the moment and fruits of your sacrifices and labors. ,,,,,,,fair winds,,,,,,,,,,,,/),,,,,,,,,,,

I'm so proud, for Y'all. This has been one hell of a journey. Thanks for letting me, tag along.

"Now" it looks like a sailboat, great job...even Swab looked happy...

Happy Times! Definitely the Drone shots we're worth it.

With all the shit, going down worldwide, I thank you 2, you gave me some time out, & a step closer to you 2 having the gunnels in the water. The drone work was the best, cheers for now.

So happy for you guys to see her mast go up. I bet you're itching to see some sail up there. Congratulations.

Mast went in without a hitch. We always put Coconut Husk and Petroleum Jelly around the Top Ring to help finding Center 👍

She is looking good, and the boat is looking good too!! Just having fun but really the mast gives her a proper sailboat 'look'. Nice, you two are doing a super nice job!! Stay safe!!

Feels so great! I love to see your mast and imagine the beautiful gaffer, and bowsprit with their sails! (And the staysail!) The detail of Rediva’s red hull photographed against NVM’s green waters... perfect!

Congratulations - a big day, well done! Can't wait to see her in all her glory.

I saw the video come up this morning and I've waited all day to watch it, it put a big smile on my old face to see this milestone, congratulations

Great drone footage. Loved it. Can't wait until you get rid of that ratty old tiller though. :-)

Wow, that totally changed the look of her! Great job guys.

Today she became a Sail Boat!!!! beautiful

Congratulations! She is looking more and more like a sailing ship!

The total reflection shot, of the sailboat and mast, was epic. Great job, great vid, good times ahead.

This moment is priceless... I'll bet the beer tasted real good... I know the significance of stepping a mast... Well done...

おめでとう　ございます。長く見ていましたので、自分のことのように嬉しく、涙が出そうになりました。これからも、安全第一に！

Congratulations!! That was intense and remarkable. Wishing you both calm seas always.

Wow. That was a big day. You pulled out all the stops for the production of this episode. Cheers.

From barge to sailboat. What a great day!

She looks so much more beautiful now she's got her mast. NEARLY there xxx

Wow! Congratulations guys. I'm so excited for you three. I'm including Swab. I can't imagine your excitement with this milestone. Great work.

Congrats on another milestone...pretty soon you will be sailing around the Cape of Good Horn in South Africa, and not ever remembering all this boat work! Nothing like raising the main mast! -Rebecca

Well that's the mast stepped and she is looking 😎, nice to see Garrets Mum there.
