Brupeg is officially launched!
Please consider supporting the project each week with a few dollars https://www.patreon.com/join/Brupeg?
In part two, we take you back through the last two days of the prep for launch, right up to her release into the wild (ish).
It was a chaotic and busy two days, and it all happened faster than we expected. The team is having a little rest before duncan arrives for another intensive week of work to get the Cummins 855 started. Then we are onto the final in water engine alignment, chock fast 2.0 and hopefully sea trials to follow shortly afterwards.
Thank you to everyone that helped get us here and for the team that helped during the two days of launches Duncan, Julie, Tom, Trev, Tony, Brent, Bruce, the yard team and the awesome Patrick in his Red Tug Solonika.
Well thats the first job done; build and launch boat⦠onto the next job.
Thank you everyone for watching and making this possible
Jess, Dame, Birk and Baby (iβm a pirate) Cat

Congratulations guys ! A very well done π€π»
Jess's health seems to be a lot better, which is great ya
Only 10 years! The Royal Navy could use you guys to overhaul their Nuclear Submarines. But, well done.π
Hope you remembered to secure the Anchor Clench in the Anchor locker π
Congratulations guys, Iβm a car guy , I only looked in because of Dangar Marine and the first engine, somehow three years later Iβm watching the launch with tears π’in my eyes. whoop, whoop!π€£ππ π¦πΊπ¦π¦π¦
Wow! What an absolute journey to get onto the briny. All credit to your determination and resilience. A fine example to us all. Congratulations to you and your extended support team. What an achievement by a great bunch of really good folk.
Good on ya!
Still trying to figure out the name of the song and artist at 17:10. I like the funky older style beat it has.
Congrats on the launch! Glad to see all went wellβ¦.
Congrats on the launch!!!!!!!!!!

Only a captain can understand the joy of a wet bum great job guys
Congratulations I wish I could of been up that way to witness this huge triumph.
Ps check out spitzlifts lightweight cranes if you havenβt seen them before.
What are the external pipes on the hull?
She looks like a boat! I bet a lot cooler on board now too.
Huge congratulations on getting her in the drink, have been watching you guys fluff around for a lot of years, so glad you'll be getting to travel the 7 seas soon.
Great Stuff she looks smaller in the water than on land congratulation
great launch now for the next part learning to do every thing in motion
of the water

The name of tugboat is Salonika, what does it mean
I was hoping for one of those crazy viral video ship launches where the boat slides sideways down a hill and almost tips over.
Congratulations, so good to see after all this time and effort. Although, seeing BRUPEG out of water for all that time, it does look a little weird in the water. You've lost half yer boat there mate. : )
Awesome moments. Great achievement.
Congrats guys! Itβs been a long time coming!
Wow! What a day!Land yacht no more. You have put so much into Brupeg to get her to this day. Many others are due their thanks as well. Canβt wait for Brupeg to enjoy the waves again and to see her living her new purpose with great people like you. Congratulations to all who made this happen.
Nicely done!!
What happened to the other two crew members
If you had sails you'd be done!
A major miles stone achieved so well done one and all. Time for a rest before carrying on with further works and finalising the engine. Whoop Whoop BruPeg. I do hope that Brupeg will be fuitted with a whoop whoop ships horn???
Awesome to see Brupeg in the water. Well done guys!
Congratulations π It's been a fantastic journey.
Well done team….Congratulations!
Brupeg looked big on the dry now in water it looks small
Congratulations to you both and the rest of the crew. Outstanding job. I bet that was a bit emotional for you all .
Goosebumps! Well done guys! Canβt wait to see the next adventure!
Wonderful job! Iβm curious about your anti-fouling paint. It seems that almost anything toxic enough to keep barnacles and slime from growing on the boat was too toxic for the marine environment.
And how do you prevent electrolysis?
The boat looks really sharp in the water. Congratulations!
Though I knew you were in the water a week ago, this was exciting to watch. Good work guys.
Cheers from Sandia, Texas Congratulations on an epic 10 year journey of workmanship and tenacity !!!!
this is getting really exciting :). just a question, (may require a politicians response lol), with having patreon round tables ( bless all the patreons for helping make this happen, wish i could be one, (will check my budget again π , is it like a strata body where the body has the major say of what happens and where money is spent and the tenant not so much ? if you know what i mean. I'm sure you have a great round table that allows you to move forward without too much interference and i certainly understand that they have a vested interest to see Brupeg achieve her goals, but am curious how the strucure works. cheers Frank, look fwd to seeing "steaming" around the globe soon
Bloody marvellous – congrats to all who has work on her etc.
πππ β€ππ€©ππππβΊπππ€ͺπ€ππ₯π€ππππππ
she is back at home, words cannot express how that must feel !!!!!! congrats to all subscribers and everyone involved
Doesnβt the anchor sit on the outside of the hull though?
