People and background
Garrett Jolly
Ruth Jolly
They have been together since they were 15 and even bought their first sailboat together when they were 17. These two certainly are sticking together for life!
Boats and projects
The boats below are part of the channel’s earlier story; ownership and equipment may have changed since those episodes.
Boat details
George Buehler 40-foot yacht. Only a few of these were produced.
They previously owned a 1946 36-foot Johnna Hanna Ketch amongst several other classic yachts.
Refits and equipment
Upgrades to their project boat include:
- New engine and electrical systems
And a ton of carpentry work.
Journeys and notable episodes
Places in the story
These locations refer to earlier episodes, not a live position.
They live in the United States although I’m not sure which marina they were in. Their boat work is almost done!
This is one of their most recent videos:
Earlier sailing journeys
They haven’t really wailed all that much, focusing instead on their boat-build project.
Collaborations
Have they collaborated with anyone? Not really. I haven’t seen them on any other channels, but I do see some synergy between them and Living With The Tide.
If you’re looking for a similar channel to follow, then I’d highly recommend that one!
Notable episodes
There haven’t been any accidents, fires, click-bait drama or anything else on their channel. They don’t do anything silly to attract views and simply get on with their boat jobs. This explains why they are so popular on YouTube.
Frequently asked questions
Which boat names appear in the story?
S/V Rediviva and S/V Button 2.
Is there a verified net-worth figure?
No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
