After rescuing our boat from the boatyard, we discovered the roof was only lightly tack welded in place, far from complete. This week, we tackle the massive job of finally fully welding the roof and adding much-needed reinforcement.

Watch as we cut, fit, and weld all the new aluminum stringers (reusing leftover materials to save costs!), making the deck-saloon roof solid and strong enough for whatever we need to do on top!



We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). On the season 4 we sailed for 2 years (exploring the Brazilian coast and part of the Caribbean), we sold our boat and we moved to Europe. The last season we are starting to build a new aluminum 43ft sailboat and a new life.

We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

We’re Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that have bought a 44ft steel sailboat (Dinieper Tropic 1200) that was neglected for 22 years. After spending 2 years refitting her we named her Odd and it's FINALLY time to start exploring. We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams. Are you curious to know more about it?
