Installing Starlink & Diesel Heat on Our Sailboat + Carbon Fiber Vacuum Bagging (w/ Ducks!)
From Racer to Home: Installing Starlink, Diesel Heat & Vacuum Bagging Magic! Plus Meet the Ducks!
Welcome back aboard SV Another Adventure, where we’re turning a retired racing trimaran into our dream cruising/liveaboard sailboat—and this episode’s got a little bit of everything!
📡 We kick things off with a full Starlink Maritime install, so we can stay connected from just about anywhere. Then it’s time to add some creature comforts with a diesel heater install, perfect for keeping cozy during chilly nights afloat.
🔩 But the real star of this episode? A deep dive into vacuum bagging carbon fiber, where we walk through our process for laying up layers, sealing, and achieving a clean, strong laminate. We’re converting a former centerboard trunk into a future wet head with hot showers, and sharing the composite techniques we’re using to make it happen.
🐤 Oh—and we finally introduce the real stars of the boat... our Four guard ducks, who live aboard and keep things quirky, cute, and surprisingly efficient at pest control.
Whether you're into boat restoration, liveaboard life, cruising upgrades, or just some good laughs with fiberglass dust in the air, you’re in the right place.
📌 Highlights:
Starlink install walkthrough (for sailors & off-grid life)
Diesel heater install for liveaboard comfort
Vacuum bagging 101 (peel ply, flow cloth, breather, resin control)
DIY boatbuilding & carbon fiber lamination
prepping for a wet head

Another Adventure
After 8 years solo on "Another Adventure" and now sailing with the best partner in the world "James" for the last 6 years we are off on a another "Tritium" adventure! just when you thought the material couldn't get any more crazy and action packed.... from solo lady captain footage, stolen dinghy, being ran over, battling entire counties, and salvaging a boat that professional salvage company couldn't even salvage.... You just CANT make this stuff up! ... Get your "Harness and tether ready then climb onboard" with us to rescue and repropose one of the top 25 fastest sailing boats in the world!!!! Tritium is a 72 ft long, 61 ft wide, 97 ft tall, ALL carbon fiber/Nomex coring weighing under 15,000 pounds with AC72 'L' foils drafting 10 ft when down but less than 4ft up. She is capable of 40knott boat speed but our goal is sailing fast, living slow and giving Tritium the retirement she deserves! #sailing #trimaran #womenwhosail #california #florida #americas #selfsufficiency
