💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

Yaba and Tally Ho splashing within days of each other after years of rebuild and rework, amazing. congratulations to you all.
-
It’s a banner week in the sailing world! Yabba and Tally Ho launching so close together makes my heart happy!
-
Yaba looks at home now . Not a single leak . That is testament to all the hard work and skill that went into rebuilding her .
-
Yabá and Tally Ho splashing in the same week on YouTube, what a treat!
-
Being honest, I never thought this day would come in the beginning. I thought, this is a project with no plan and it's going to run out of money. I don't know how much it cost, but now, I don't care. I think you guys (Ben, MP, and especially MP's Dad, and the whole yard) totally smashed this project out of the park. Parabéns!
-
Congratulations on "rescuing" Yaba! Also, I love that you also "rescued" the two dogs. What a wonderful life they are going to have.
-
Congrats, 3.5 years, of watching you both and the dogs, (the black dog climbing the stairs), with love and admiration wishing you the best.
-
This ship is a blessing for the eye! For me the most beautiful ship to own! One Dutch word! GEWELDIG!!!
-
YABA and Tally Ho, both in one week. How great is this? Congratulations to you both along with your 'shipmates'. Yaba is truly a gorgeous lady of the sea.
-
@17:27 is definitely a “finally!!!” moment. 😉
-
Yaba looks impressive big even in the water, and Ben handles her like she is a toy boat !
-
"Swimming with our own finns" Has to be the internet statement of the month! :)
-
There's nothing more pleasing than to reach your goals in life. I wish you both a wonderful time and safe travels.
-
Remembering back to the early days, all the doubters, especially about the engine that is just purring now. If what we've seen so far is any indication it's going to be an impressive boat under way.
-
She looks so graceful back on the water in full glory. Well done you guys :) Cheers Ray (UK)
-
The lines of the boat---a traditional dhow--are quite beautiful, It should give you lots of pleasure.
-
🎉💃🏼🕺CONGRATULATIONS on a SUCCESSFUL SPLASH!🕺💃🏼🎉

It was amazing to see Nico enjoying a ride on the river and one of the brothers who're the owners of the yard enjoying a barbecue at the end. I hope at some point all those involved at that yard get a chance for a short cruise and a barbecue with you as well. Especially the older gentlemen who's almost always never seen without a cigarette, I'm sorry his name escapes me right now. The level of craftsmanship that went into this rebuild was a pleasure to watch, getting it done old school with blood, sweat and tears as they say. Looking very much forward to continuing to see what and where your up to next. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
-
Feel great for you guys. What a perfect page in Yaba history. Now, Ben.....whenever you start that beautiful engine, keep your eyes on those gauges. Don't walk away until that oil pressure makes you smile.. :)

Happy ( MP's ) Dad, great job Sir.
