It was time for a new Channel Trailer. The old one is well over 4 years old and there are now over 130 videos uploaded. I also decided to change the name of the channel. The old name, "Just About Sailing" was based on a joke when I sent a video to friends ...

Well, if that title didn't put you off, nothing will. There really is nothing like the sound of a Big Band in full swing, and this is nothing like the sound of a Big Band in full swing. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I mentioned the Double Bass DIY...

Yes, I know I'm releasing this on 6th December and it is supposed to be the December video. Sorry about that, but it is explained in the video. Not a huge amount going on. But Lucy has finished both sides of the boat - sorting out the paintwork. And earned...

Two things happen in this one. Firstly, I am eventually going to re-try making the complete HDPE water tank that I started before. But I'm not totally happy that my welding skills are up to it yet. So in the meantime, I got out the plastic welding gear ag...

Not much happened in September. Mostly due to my stupidity. However, there was some progress with getting Serenity spruced up to look her best, along with some work on finishing off the anchor locker.

This one is all about trying to match the blue colour of Serenity's hull and finish the repair of the crack in the side by doing the paintwork. I bashed into a dock way back and did a substantial epoxy and fibreglass patch - that was the easy bit... The vi...

This month's video was supposed to be about painting over the repair to the hull I did ages ago. I tried a colour matching experiment... and it didn't work. But, I think I now have a solution. So, more of that next month. And I will show the video of the ...

The clue is in the title - lots of varnishing in this one. I am going to have a go at doing a one-off Q&A video shortly. So if you want to ask a question on anything - this video, previous videos, future videos, plans, mistakes, average airspeed veloci...

Actually, there are a couple more bits of Formica to do. But I think we will all have had enough of that, so this is the final Formica video showing the tricky 'L' shaped bit that I was dreading. There is a short book review in this video for Patrick Lain...

After doing a complete mock-up of the Galley ages ago, it's finally time to actually get round to doing it for real. I decided to test out using Formica rather than something like Corian. Only problem is, I hate contact adhesive and have never had any luck...

After a bit of a pause with other things getting in the way of boat projects. I have finally managed to get a couple of woodworking projects finished. And when I say "I", what I really mean is "my daughter" since she did most of the work. But she does it f...

Not a lot of boat work going on in January and February. But I've been looking for a solution to some video sound recording problems, and I think I've found an answer that suits me. This video is all about doing some 'real life' tests on the recently launc...
