Solo Sailor Does EVERYTHING Herself! (She's Done All The HARDEST Boat Projects!!!)

Great video, Daniel! I loved getting to see parts of my life from your unique perspective. Thank you soo much for documenting my boat projects, journey & struggles! It HAS been an isolating experience on my own and as the only woman in this boatyard for the past year (that I've seen). I really hope this video inspires more women out there to go it on their own, alone and make friends along the way (I really want some solo girl buddy boat friends 😊) Can't wait to see what adventures you get up to next!!!

Very, very... very impressive Nicole! 👏 You can be proud of yourself. And Dan. Keep going. You're making us dream! Thanks

I don't think many will understand what an insane amount of work this girl has done! And how much more she has to do! Great job!

It's awesome to see a young lady be so capable of doing her own work, I too as a young woman sailor did all my own work on my 38 choey lee sailboat too. I am in my 60s now and yes I still do 80% of my own work. But bottom paint jobs has been passed on to boat yard labor. Comes a time when watching is fine. Do it as long as you can!! Remember the rewards... Sailing ⛵️ fairwinds

I've been watching her videos since her last boat. Many props to the work she has done. Good looking out spotlighting her. She deserves much cred. Dan, you rock as well.

Way to go Nicole,. I am also a solo female captain of a sailboat. The love of sailing is something you can't explain. Exploring new places and enjoying the journey of getting there is part of the adventure. It's wonderful to see other women bravely stepping out on their own without waiting for someone to join their dream. 🤗💖⛵🌅🐬🏝️🐕 S/V Cork~Texas ⛵🌎🙂

I've been watching Nicole's channel for a while now. She never fails to amaze me. It's been a struggle from start to finish, she's on her own, does everything on her own, hits seemingly insurmountable hurdles, has a little cry, pulls herself together, and moves on. She is relentless. When she eventually sets off on her "new old" boat, I fervently hope she will be able to "relax" and enjoy the lifestyle she's struggling so hard for to achieve. In fact I am a little mystified she doesn't have more followers (yet), she's definitely one of the more personable channels out there.

I have been following Nicole for a while; she is a remarkable young woman. As for your question about other young women doing their own work - I've seen a far amount of women HELPING their mates work on boats, including my daughter who's spent the last three years helping rebuild a 52er, but I have never seen a woman doing nearly all of the work by themselves. By the way, I have a friend who finished out a BC 28 from a hull/deck kit and sailed it from Seattle to the tip of South America and back over a two year period. They are very seaworthy and good sailing boats but rather tight inside for big people. This boat, despite being in poor shape when she bought it, will be a huge upgrade over her old boat.

This is the chick that nursed you back to life from fever . Iv watched her channel a while now ,she has main character vibes that I adore 😊

Nicole is amazing and has the right attitude, not just for sailing and maintaining a boat but for life in general. And, Dan you are a fantastic presenter. Better than 90% of the people in mainstream media.

I have watched both of your channels over the past few months. You both have inspired me to buy a boat and live on the water.

Nicole is absolutely amazing and this video did an excellent job showing that. Very inspiring! Great work Nicole and Dan!

I am a big fan of Nicole! She has such a wonderful can do attitude! The world would be a cooler place with more people like her.

You said it all in Dengue fever ...aka breakbone fever... Respect to her the other one I know is a Wharram owner .

What a great woman, just love her for the right resonans 😊

She’s a keeper

Love Nicole's channel. Thank you, Daniel.

Awesomeness at its finest. My wife likes the fact that she takes care of the dogs. That model of boat was well known from the Pardey's. If you do not know them, just google the name.

AD, you brought up pirates in the video and after watching sailing videos the last few months and learning most sailors don’t carry fire arms the idea of a water cannon came to mind an because I’ve owned and operated a pressure washing business for the last 30 yrs. I know the main component to possibly building one would be a high pressure pump and some brass fittings even scrounging from an old fire truck I’m sure one could be made with some trial and error which would be great fending off pirates and keeping them from boarding your boat that is unless they had a fire arm .. Any who if I ever have a sail boat I’m definitely going to make the water cannon part of my self defense equipment . I know some high pressure pump are capable of up to 20,000 psi and they are a relatively small pump that doesn’t take up much room or weigh a lot .. After all they’re pretty much on the same lines as a pressure washer just extreme PSI. Anywho good video .. sincerely, ole man Romeo from land locked Kentucky.

Always nice to see women with this amount of bravery and desires. Nice work. Boat looks better than you give credit for. Sure it looks nice bc of your labor but really looks good. Cant wait to see you sailing this boat.
