The Bennington family bought a boat worth £2000 in 2020 and haven't stopped upgrading it since. The boat, a large, abandoned boat, was badly damaged in several areas. Over the course of 16 months they managed to refit it to start a new adventure.

If you like boats, you can visit the ‪@SailingMelody‬ channel, where you can not only see how the Bennington family works and lives, but you can also soak up their maritime culture!

    How envious (without malice) of this couple. For the challenge of restoring an old yacht and making it seaworthy again, working even in the cold. Another thing that impressed me was the fact that the boat had so many metal parts to scrape, cut, weld and paint. At first I thought it was all made of fiberglass, but they only used this to finish the internal parts. I wanted to know if they had any experience in shipbuilding. Magnificent work 👏👏👏

  • @theluth9046
    What a beautiful restoration and this is the height of the word dedication to something you love! That is amazing what they did bring her back to life a lot of hard work for 16 months but certainly worth it in the end!

  • It's what you make of it. Hard work and perseverance will make this project worthwhile. Well done family. 💯👍

    This is probably harder than building the yacht from scratch. What a beautiful restoration on this yacht, much respect for all the hard work they put into this vessel. A smooth sea never made a great sailor. Happy sailing, you deserve every inch of that horizon.
  • I have been following the Sailing Melody channel for a few years now and Andy, Mellissa and Jack have now upgraded to a larger yacht, which they are restoring and adapting. The larger boat was needed due to the arrival last year of Oliver. They are in the pocess of selling Melody, if not already sold. And are preparing to set sail around the world in the next few weeks aboard their new and renamed yacht Ocean Melody.

    Вы молодцы, совершили просто титанический труд. И это достойно огромного уважения.

    Chapeau! Many years ago I made my dream of owning my own steel yacht come true by constructing one myself but having the hull built by a shipyard. Since I liked my plans, I received it at a very low price with the condition that the shipyard was allowed to continue building it. When the bowl arrived, I found slightly rusty spots under the primer and had everything sandblasted on the inside and sanded everything on the outside. It took me 16 months for corrosion protection, painting, interior work, marinization of 2 diesel engines and all the technology.
