BOAT WORK: Schenker Watermaker 🌊 | Vinyl Wrapping a Sailboat | Ep 343
Watermakers are an essential piece of kit for remote cruising, so we take good care of our Schenker Zen 30. In this boat work episode, Jamie takes us through how he replaces the membranes. But don’t make the same mistake, he nearly lost a nipple in the process!
Like most people, we get to know our neighbours in a boat yard and always have a good nose around. Two sailboats up from us, one was having its topsides vinyl-wrapped, something we had never considered before. The process was cheap, quick, not at all messy. Unlike spray-painting there’s no need for masks or protective clothing and you don’t need to build a tent around the surface to avoid spraying your neighbour. The result looked pretty sweet.
Do you have any experience of vinyl-wrapping? What do you think, would you consider vinyl-wrapping your boat?

We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
