A Step By Step Guide to Replacing All Your Rigging!! - (Episode 222)

Colin’s joy is contagious. I couldn’t help but to smile along with him

How to represent your business in the most trustworthy and honest way possible, owners and managers of the world; take notes.. Jonas Berg, what an absolute legend!

I almost shed a tear 😢 as Jonas and Colin hugged it out, while sharing a beer together ~ Both showing their absolute appreciation and respect for eachother. Jonas Berg you're an absolute LEGEND with respect to masts, rigging and sails, mate! You're also very humble, with a wealth of knowledge! Cheers from Manacor, Spain 🇪🇸 🇦🇺 .

If this doesn't make everyone a life long Selden customer, I don't know what does - Jonas is now a legend

That was one of your best Colin. I was crying with how your relieved and grateful emotions showed. Can feel how happy the crew is. Jonas was extra special. I’m not mechanically inclined but y’all made it really fun to watch and learn. See you next Sunday.

When there are so many variables that you can’t keep track of… it becomes an art, and then is when genius take over.

Jonas clearly loves what he does. His passion came through in spades.

What a kind man Jonas is . I really enjoyed your video.Thanks.

Hero's come in many shapes. Giannis is one that came with a history of knowledge tucked away and bushed off the webs and focused on making you all safe along your way. Thank you Giannis for keeping them safe... You are a true old school Hero. Now let's get this fat bottom girl sailing ~

Finding a man with 35 years of experience, expertise, and knowledge in a certain area is one thing...and it is increasingly rare...
Finding that person who is willing to leave his home on business to go help people and teach them some of his skills, while making friends, is an entirely higher level of good fortune. It is clear Colin was well aware of that, and thankful for it. The relationships we make in life are priceless.

I have just spent 45 minutes on Parlay Revival. This was not just a watch, this was getting involved. Colin, team and especially Jonas. Thank you for taking all of "us" with you on this most amazing sailing channel. What an awesome 45 minute journey. 👏👏👏👏

johnth is a great teacher,i listernd every word he said.

What an awesome episode. You just can't beat that level of experience, and it was wonderful to see how much Jonas enjoyed himself to be there. All credit to you Colin for driving the revival of Parlay from where was was after the hurricane to now, and of course to all those that have been a part of the enormous amount of work done. I think that one of the reasons for the success of the channel though is that you are always clearly grateful for everyone's hard work to make it all happen.

The most important thing in life is the friendships we build and cultivate. This is proven by the time and effort Joannus dedicated to Parlay.

The best part of this video is Collins sincerity. He’s super grateful and it shows. You can do ANYTHING you want in life and be prosperous if you show “gracious humility”. If you do that then nothing is impossible! Collin is the embodiment of those aspects. The best of humanity. He deserves everything he wants and I’m rooting for him.

I think Colin is starting to realize how special this whole project has become with literal legends helping out

Some people want power, some want wealth, some want fame, some want it all. All you really need is amazing friends to share adventures with and to help each other. Friends last forever the rest is fleeting. All of you now are friends, tied together with stainless steel cable. Nothing stronger. God Bless!

The total combination of health, happiness , will of life, characters involved, professionals, social well being, video footage and story telling is outstanding. top class Colin and associates. thank you again for a wonderful life story shared

Colin you have a habit of bring good people around you and that is all down to you, being you!

It's no coincidence that good people are always humble.

There's no substitute for experience. What a wonderful vibe!!!

One of the finest and most informative videos I have seen in a long while, there is no substitute for hands on experience with a masterful instructor. Safe sailing.

Wow, what a stupendous story from the Parlay team. This is real RUclips gold. Jonas, i'd like to offer heartfelt thanks from all the viewers of the channel for turning what could have been a disaster for Parlay Revival into a complete victory, you are a special man.

Thank you. You have no idea how great it makes me feel. When I see you at the helm with a huge smile. It takes me back to my sailing days. I know that feeling exactly. My sailing days are long gone. I have been caregiver for my wife who is bedridden for 18 years now. Watching you all makes me feel great. You are all good people .❤

Colin, no money can buy you this college education by such a master. Great detailed explanation . Awesome . Thanks

How did you get Dave not to say a word for the hole video 😂
Colin, you now have the strongest catamaran on the planet !!!
You guys know every system of Parlay some better than others 😅
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida

Well done Colin great job by Jonas and everyone. Great advert for Selden 😁😁

What's nice 2 see is a man in a company that literally knows all the ins and outs alot of these company's only know it on paper and you couldn't stick them on a boat to re rig a boat

Wow, just Wow!!! Not only did you give us almost twice the normal episode you gave us one with amazing detail and so much raw emotion. If anyone that has been following from the beginning knows the trials and tribulations it has taken to this point. They really got to share how wonderful it is for you and "the crew" to be at this point. I know this was done awhile ago but Colin thank you for taking the time doing the closing when it actually happened so we could see exactly where you were at at that moment. Can't wait till next week as the excitement builds.

Great series, Colin. Watching Jonas Berg walk you through the process was priceless. And, it was clear that he appreciated the effort you and the crew made to be ready and provide such capable assistance. Well done!

Lately the filming of these videos has been great! There’s just something about having only one person filming everything that makes these videos flow so much better. Obviously Colin doing his “selfie” videos is absolutely necessary as well but having a dedicated camera person really ups the quality of these videos. I believe that Britt is doing the majority of the “behind the camera” stuff? Great job, keep it up! 👏👏

Absolutely one of the best episodes you have ever produced. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

You were blessed to have that fella from Seldens to spend so much time and knowledge with you. It makes you realize that there is more than you'd expect from the old art of rigging. To have a high ranking wizard of the ancient art give you info like this is a real blessing. especially for you captain, seeing you're an engineer plus all the knowledge you've gained fixing this boat and sailing the world, this rigging teachings is yet another feather in your cap.

A Teacher A legend A beautiful positive human being- such a kind spirit

Colin, you get "so lucky" because you get back what you give. You're so generous and kind to people, and they are drawn to give you the same in return. You have earned, and deserve all your "luck." Cheers mate!

Great people attract great people around them. You have built a great team.

As a kiwi based in Scotland for the last 16 years, I've been following Colin for some time now - half for the excellent travel and engineering content, and half for his kiwi accent and attitude to help keep my homesickness at bay.

The wisdom and knowledge of a master is passed on by more than just their skill.

That Rig Guy is an Angel !!!!!

A great episode Colin, Jonas did you proud and what a nice guy, I cant wait for the start of the crossing of the Pacific. Well done to the crew as well.

One of the best episodes on this channel EVER!🎉

Colin, the look on your face and the laugh that you gave when the Code D was furled played out as a moment of pure bliss!!.
Good On You!
After all your troubles, Parlay is ready to do her part and make your way West.
Well done Sir.

One of the best episodes to date. There is only one Jonas. You are very fortunate to have his hands on help!! Sail on,

It's pretty darn incredible having him come down and help.
Far as the "most incredible journey goes"...
I would say that You and the amazing folks that have gotten Parley to this point were the journey!!
Now, you all get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

“It’s a boat, what could possibly go wrong” great quote!

I have watched…not understanding all of it, but enough to know that you are now ready to set sail on your journey home. Jonas was incredible with his knowledge and how he explained everything. Colin, Jamie, and the crew must be extremely grateful for the expertise Jonas brought. Awe, you made me cry with your final thoughts, and celebration. God bless and keep you safe.

This is one of the best sailing videos I have ever watched, Johnas is AMAZING. I LOVE the extra-long episode.

You can see and hear the gratefulness in your voice Colin. Jonas, thank you for helping out the crew of Parlay. Looking forward to the journey across the Pacific.

Another great video to round out an important topic. Enjoy the crossing..

Jonas is a grand master at his craft, and comes across as one of the nicest guys on the planet! Cannot want to see the voyage!

Guys like Jonas are a dying breed. What a legend and wealth of knowledge. So glad to see that you guys got that rig ready to travel the world and take us along with you. Cheers to the whole crew.
😎

It has been a long time since i have been moved so much by a RUclips episode. This truly shows the best of human existence, the hope , the humility, the generosity, the gifts of knowledge and friendship of time and cooperation of sharing and supporting of reaching out and helping a friend you haven’t met yet in their hour of need. Thank you Colin and team and especially , thank you Jonas you are an inspiration all…

I sit and watch your vids, bursting with how proud of you I feel, I had dreams when I was younger, let me tell you none of them included the life I’m living, it makes me happy to see people follow there dreams and not getting trapped by the 9-5, I’m proud of you all. Make a wish on the stars for me

All I can say is "WOW" emotional just watching the whole journey so far. Good fair winds next week, can't wait to cross with you!!

Jonas is such a good lad. Heart warming how much he cares about his work and ultimately you guys

it never fails how amazing it can make one feel when you end up working with someone new that y'all just hit it off from the jump!! fair winds boys

EPIC , is this series of videos about rigging. You don't just entertain us , you inform us , and make us better sailors that understand the rigging on boats. Thank you Colin and Parlay crew.

Mr. Joan is a kind and humble man. Much respect to him. U and all your crew on parlay are amazing. 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏻

Bravo one of your best videos' and Jonas Berg of Selden Mast a special thanks............👍⛵👍🛠

What an amazing episode. I completely felt the compassion the Parlay crew had and especially Jonas towards what you're trying to accomplish--sailing across the Pacific. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us watching.

What a man ! You have to love a man like Jonas!

Jonas an amazing guy

So happy for you all. Your joy is contagious! And a bottle of Hendricks at your bedside at the end- yum!

Colin your abiilty to edit in the tension and stress you are feeling is great cinema. The learnings amazing, go boyo.

THIS EPISODE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHY....
PARLAY IS THE BEST SAILING CHANNEL ON EARTH!
I LOVE DELOS & ALWAYS WILL...
BUT YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
FAIR WINDS PARLAY!!!!BE SAFE & GOD BLESS!

Never right off an old man, the years don't come alone!

I so Loved this I feel so happy along with Colin made smile from ear to ear 😄😄😄😄❤

Colin the past few videos I've noticed a sadness just something missing in you. I pray it all goes well because you are the most positive man alive. I'm sure the stress of fixing everything and not leaving for the cross was a huge disappointment. I'm glad to see you all full of life again. Your crews amazing ppl! Here's to the future PACIFIC CROSSING! ❤🎉

What a Legend and what a happy funny man as well .

Absolute masterclass in teamwork. What a great guy Jonas was sharing his knowledge. Don’t mind admitting it was an emotional watch. Smooth sailing Parlay Captain and crew!

Congratulations Colin and crew! What a wonderful episode. The Chemistry between Colin and Jonas was very touching. Like a father and son working together to complete a difficult task. The respect for the older person, the pride in the abilities of the younger man. And then the happiness on Colins face when he realized it was done and he would be able to start his journey. Thank you for sharing this moment with us. Thank you for not giving up. And thank you for being grateful and humble for all of your blessings. It has been a pleasure to watch and I am looking forward to the rest of you adventure.

I know you are well on your way across toward home, but the joy and satisfaction that Colin expressed when you finished was so touching. You all did a tremendous job staying on track for the ride of your life. Great episode and great job to all.

Colin what a great experience, thanks for sharing. Your positive attitude and willingness to share your knowledge is why people like Jonas are so willing to help.

Just when you think things could not get more special , more educational, more sincere, you top this all, yet again. What an amazing heartfelt episode.

The knowledge that this man has on sailing rigging is astonishing, I'm so grateful he shared this with everyone on your channel and even though some sailers don't have the same setup we all can learn from these two videos. What an awesome guy to take the time out to do that, I'm grateful as a viewer. 🙏

this has been one of my favorite episodes.... humans have the potential to be awesome this episode proves it.

Episode 222. "Omega level". ! 🤜🤛

Another super cool episode, so loved that Jonas wanted to come and help, what a cool guy!! So happy for Colin, Jamie, and all the Parlay crew!! Fair winds and following seas.

Mad respect for Jonas. A company owner/leader doing something like this is just unheard of. That's the kind of person and company that I want to support! Thank you Jonas and congratulations to Colin and crew.

Incredible episode, having a friend like Jonas doesn't happen to just anyone it says a lot about our man Colin and Team Parlay. 😊

I think I heard "It was like we were kids again" What a way to describe how you wish your life was going. Jealous of Colin's never grow up attitude and lifestyle. HE IS THE MAN! HOP ON THIS MAN BACK... HE'S DEFINITELY GOING PLACES. New Zealand to be exact. Fair winds to you Parlay and God bless your crew!

Parlay looked absolutely stunning under sail. This has been by far my favorite episode to date.

One of your best episodes so far. Now I hope the people in the comments realize the time it took to prepare for this epic journey. Can't wait to see more.

One can appreciate all the prep and hard work that goes into sailing but 100% worth it. The faces and smiles in every single person in this episode is contagious. Hope one day I can meet the crew and share some stories over a beer. All the best and looking forward for the next episode! Cheers.

Very cool. looking forward to some video live footage of you guys crossing the Pacific. good friends are hard to find Colin since you find them everywhere you turn around. Says a lot about you. One more thing I can’t believe David was there. I didn’t hear him say one word ..amazing😂 😂

Its really heartwarming to witness your appreciation of Jonas's help Colin. Yes it might help his business but its mainly because of you being a good guy that hes helped. It would be easy for anyone to offer you help with the respect you give back. Take care and thank you for the very enjoyable and at times educational content. ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What a pleasure it is to watch a true craftsman not just do what he loves, but also share his knowledge with others. Legend.

Glad you found those set screws. We call them grub screws, cause they look like grubs. When we drop one in the shop there is always a groan cause even in a closed, relatively clean shop they disappear!

He is an awesome guy. Glad he helped get you on your way.

I've watched from the beginning. IMHO, this has exceeded everything to date. Excellent filming, storytelling, and sharing of human intelligence and emotion. Thanks for sharing.

The crew makes it look simple. Selden Really carried the day. They also got to evaluate real world, what there customers receive, and what facilities many have to work with.

Duuuuuude! That final 5 mins just brought tears to my eyes. What an absolute LEGEND of a man. Safe travels, safe journeys!

Colin, you keep it real and folks respect that. It’s amazing that folks want to help you succeed! Safe sailing brother!

Thanks again for another entertaining and educational video. You keep proving the “Pay to forward Principle “. People support you because you pay it forward. You are always thinking about helping others so others are always glad to help you when you need it. Jonas probably had the adventure of the decade for him all the time helping a friend and educating thousands. It’s the sign of an awesome person. ( and company). Keep making these videos. I started at the beginning and am almost caught up to real time. ❤

Jonas is a great human!!!

Funny how on a sailboat, people rarely talk about the rig, they just take it and the sails for granted. Yet, it's so intricate, very complicated, and can ruin a good day if not done right.

Awesome stuff. "Old" dude crushed it. Glad he could pass on that knowledge to a new generation of owners (b/c his company and employees already get that knowledge).
