Our bilge has been completely rebuilt. And now it's time to use whatever it takes to make it smooth. Fairing, sanding, painting, flow coat? peel ply? Who knows.
We're pushing towards becoming a sailboat again and turning this now floating boat into our home. Every panel, screw, bolt feels like a win and we're loving it.
It's time we get all the gel coat and fiberglass dust out of the boat so we can move in! The dust got EVERYWHERE but with an air compressor, a lot of rags..
Our freshly fixed boat manages to runs aground sitting in its slip, we get our mast hauled to a different yard, and we get the interior of the boat picked up..
Well, after 4 months of delays, it's finally time to get the mast stepped! The weather is cold, and it even starts SNOWING while they climb the mast...
The final survey is complete, and we passed! He had very little to comment on, only a handful of things to correct and none of them major. Lots of hose clamps
Let's do a bit of a tour of the boat. We go fore to aft and point out all the things we need to fix on the boat, and all the things we just want to fix or add.
There is a huge storm about to hit, and our boat is LITERALLY freezing. We needed to have already winterized the boat, but I guess better late than never!
Well, we got our behind's kicked by New England winter! Our boat (and ourselves) are not equipped for such conditions. We are lucky enough to have a yard!
Our Sailboat has No Prop, No Rudder and now it's time to Launch! Annnnd we have given ourselves 3 days to launch because we're ready to be ON THE WATER!
It's Jade's Birthday Weekend and all she wants is to go sailing. And Sailing she got! This was the best sailing we've ever done and by far the most fun...
We have the sail of a lifetime zigging and zagging between boats all fleeing from Martha’s Vineyard, and drop the hook just inside of the Newport bridge.
Getting this new outboard is a huge step in being able to cut the umbilical and set off as proper world cruisers. A lot of boat life involves immense research..
There's nothing like busting out the grinder to bust through a big project. We decided to make the leap to LiFePO4 batteries and they needed a place to go.
We make room for 1350ah of Lithium before shoehorning them into the bilge. Lots of near toe smashing and back breaking hip twisting lifting and they are in.
This is part 1 of our DIY Countertop Epoxy Build. We used a combination of TableTop Epoxy, High Performance Epoxy and Makerpoxy to come up with the final look.
It's time to flee the cold and go south. but first we need to straighten our crooked mast! We try out a new dinghy storage solution, it works though not ideal.
Something AWESOME is coming!
