A message to Lagoon: The positive attitude, determination, and skill shown by Colin and Jamie is a testament to the unique people they are. Can you imagine other Lagoon owners undertaking this level of teardown and reconstruction? Inconceivable. At this point, there are no remaining questions as to whether these failures are a result of shoddy construction, or hurricane damage. The design deficiencies are obvious, and the pervasive shortcuts taken during construction have been exposed to the light of day. Multiple youtube channels are confirming this as typical, rather than anomalous. Now we will see what kind of company Lagoon is. Will you step up and rebuild these boats, and your reputation? Or will you dodge responsibility, and put your customers and your company at risk of sinking due to catastrophic failure? At this point, I'll be looking elsewhere for my next cat.

Zero sweat, itch or muscle cramp watching Your Tube, but have been there done that. I was an totally unqualified Engineer on a 3 mast superyacht back in the 70's, so know the work, just not the brain power.

Both of you have my upmost respect, what we call in TX a Man's Man.

Many, including my wife and I, have questioned why? Why invest the time in a boat with sooo many built in flaws? Came to me in this ep. The back breaking work your crew has put into Parlay will make you supremely confident in her construction and bad ass sea worthiness. You’ll never be more confident in any boat other than Parlay when it’s all said and done! Cheers to the toughest boat on the open seas and the bad ass team that got her there.

Their friendship is the real thing that is so amazing and rare to find these days. Jamie is the real deal. The way they work together and what they accomplish is what sets them apart.

Amazing process! What has impacted me the most from your story is just how you handle life's ups and downs. Appreciate what you have, don't let the bad things change your goals. Simple is not the same as easy! You have an amazing inner will and personality to confront extremely taxing challenges with awesome attitude. I know that recording yourself might influence your reactions but the longer it goes, there is no hiding who we really are inside. You are a true inspiration! Thank you!

You guys are incredible. This is one of the best if not the best motivational set of videos I have ever watched. Jamie is the brother/friend people can only dream about. Love you guys.

Jamie to Colin is like Doc Holiday was to Wyatt Earp. Always has your back and provides entertainment. I wish I had a friend like that.

The greatest things I see here are friendship and passion.

Colin, nice work on the repairs, you and Jamie are doing a great job.. I hope you've cut Jamie in on a like 40% share of ownership. I'd say he's earned it fixing that nightmare of a boat.

I remember when I first started watching this channel and thinking how concerned I'd be with the holes in the hull. Later- watch Jamie and Colin rebuild a Lagoon 450 better than factory. Talk about trial by fire. I can't believe how much they've learned about glass work in the short time they've been working on refitting this boat. Well done!

one thing is for sure this cat is going to be one of the strongest out there and a credit to the dedication of Colin and Jamie !

Since taking a sailing course in April I've been watching many of the youtube sailing channels. Colin is kind of an extreme example, but I've been so impressed, and frankly heartened to see so many young people (I'm 65, so most people are 'young' to me), accepting incredible challenges related to boating. They just put one foot in front of the other, knowing the only thing that guarantees failure is to give up. There's so much bad news spewed out there by the media, when in reality there's so much to be inspired by, and so many people to be inspired by, like Colin and friends. This is what life's about.

Congratulations! I'm completely impressed that you kept it together after seeing how total the failure was, you never gave up. Bravo!

dude how lucky are you to have someone that is willing to suffer with you, enjoy the journey

Agree with you Colin, there is nobody that wouldn't want more Jamie's onboard, helping you hold it all together ! The extra reinforcement is well worth the knowledge of knowing it's done right, and won't fail short of Godzilla or a Tsunami !

It also seems that the deck wasn't bonded well to the hull, which allowed the structure to twist -- that would be a problem of engineering as well as manufacturing.

Watching you guys confront what has been a challenge that would make lesser men buckle is inspirational. Colin you have a personality and attitude that is magnificent and Jamie is a constant that is unshakable. Your team dynamic is invaluable, there is nothing you guys can’t knock out together. Well done boys you deserve the success that awaits.

I like how Colin keeps his cool when dealing with the tough passage of rebuilding something that is almost brand new he does not let any of that get to him and knows right from wrong in his heart...... and lagoon knows what they should do compensate for all repairs necessary to make all the same model deemed seaworthy for the sake of boatbuilders they should want the name lagoon to be redeemed

What a project. But I think all of us watching at home, knew you guy's could pull it off. Thanks for bringing us all, along.

Thanks for showing a glimpse of the true labour involved in these jobs to everybody!! thats how you deserve to sail around the world ;D

The strength, good humour and pereseverence Colin and Jamie display are An example to follow. From the little bit of glass work I have done I can only imagine how tough it is to crawl through those confined spaces in the heat while sanding or handling huge sheets of sticky glass.

What a crazy effort, but also light at the end of the tunnel, finally! I don't see many owners going through this effort.

Good job as usual. I'm sure we have no real clues at what it takes to do such a repair but I bet you guys have no ideas of the suffering we endure by waiting for the next sunday episode. 😉

This is my favorite sailing channel. Colin is awesome.

It's hard to explain to people how much work goes into restoring and repairing boats, houses, cars, you name it. What they see in 1 hour or less represents literally hundreds of manhours worth of work. That's why when you pay a professional to do it, it costs a lot of money.

Can't wait to see you sailing that thing across the Pacific again!!

Colin, Sir, I applaud your work ethic. Taking on such a monumental project and diving full in is impressive. I will leave you a quote from my late Grandfather that I think applies to you guys: Hard work spotlights the character of a person; some people turn up their sleeves, some people turn up their noses, and some people dont turn up at all.

It's a pleasure to see people just getting on with what needs to get done. What a great channel... I want to adopt spot...

Really enjoy your videos, glad to see you are over the hump, and your stupendous efforts are paying off, can't wait to see you and Jamie make all the way round the world, the greatest thing about this is you have got yourself a brother and that's priceless.

The amount of work you guys have done is incredible! The fiberglass dust, saw dust, ....the conditions...insane. Cheers to you folks for your perseverance!

Gentleman, when you are finished, you will have built a tank of a boat. Better, stronger and able to take whatever mother nature throws at her and she will bring you home safe and sound. Well done mates, well done.

Colin and Jamie: I have been watching you all from the beginning and especially during this latest repair/rebuild. I can feel for you all. I have been working on my house for 8 years. I teach year round, so I don't make that much and I don't have a lot of free time. So, I have to live in the construction debris, dust, lack of heating or cooling, and a myriad of other conditions. But, like I think where you are, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know that you will have such confidence in the boat when you finally do put back in and make your way back through the canal and start heading for your homeland and beyond. Frankly, I am jealous. Good on you!

I can smell the resin and catalyst from here! This is a huge job fellas. I don't envy the work but I do envy your tenacity. Keep on ripping' in.

This is excellent content by a bloke who’s got great character and presence. His vids just get better and better. I’m an Aussie and as such have great respect for kiwis.

A million years from now another life form will come and visit earth. The only thing they’re going to find is a bulkhead from your boat!. Beyond bulletproof. It’s good to see the mood is getting happier, jobs almost finished!.

Collin, remember your education. A beam should be able to withstand tension, compression, shear, and torsional forces. Are you 100% sure the fiberglass patch will provide adequate support? Fiberglass is definitely strong, but it really doesn’t add any cross-sectional area and the wooden bulkhead portions are broken.

Well done, guys! Your work shows how Lagoon *should* have done it in the first place. Shoddy construction ALWAYS bites you in the ass later.

Welldone Guys, light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Looking forward to the carpentry side next 👍🥂

This repair series is absolutely my favourite thing to watch because at every frame I feel the pain and determination you guys have been pouring into your dream. And I especially admired when you took a few minutes to remind everyone how extremely hard this is. Unless they had to deal with something similar, most people have really no idea of what level of willpower is needed, not just to start, but also to commit till the end. I know what the price is. You might assume it's mostly the physical work, the never-ending glassing or the sweat coming down from your head mixed with resin and dust... But it is way more than that. It's a mental challenge, not very different from a sailing passage where the ocean decides to throw the worst at you. Each time, when you think you passed the worst, you get even more. It tests your mind but also your heart and therefore your relationships. If you're lucky only 20% of your friends are able to sustain this kind of punishment for this long and not run away. So suddenly, just when you get to the worst part, you find some of your friends (or more than that) leaving you. But moments like this reveal those rare relationships built to last. As other people said, I find it beautiful to see Jamie with you from the beginning and still there in the fiberglass dust looking forward to a simple cerveza later. Anyone can jump aboard to sail and have fun but how many can stick around outside the water to deal with this? I know for a fact that a few months from now, while you are crossing the ocean to New Zealand and looking at the sunset you will appreciate even more the friend who was with you during the rough times. And nothing will ever be able to compare to that feeling. Thank you for sharing this process which I can relate to so well. I don't think anyone else was able to show it so well. Keep going exactly the same way you already did and I'm sure we will meet somewhere one day. PS: Hope Silvia sticks around too, I get the feeling she has the right stuff. But I'm Italian and might be one sided on this.... :)

@@hanssolo4ever There is a difference between poor quality workmanship and an actually design fault.

A lot of the shoddy workmanship Issues are not safety critical in fact have remained undetected for years. A manufacturer builds up to a standard. This standard does not have to be high it does have to be safe. A better solution is normally time and cost prohibitive this translates into a higher sticker price making the company uncompetitive.
