⛵️We found massive problems in our sailboat's deck!! 🤯 (Part1/2) Ep. 366
This episode is an emotional roller coaster. After moving forward, it feels like we're taking two steps back. Unfortunately, we found that 80% of our work now involves fixing severe structural and leveling problems from the initial welding on the aluminum deck of our boat.
We face a huge challenge in aligning the forward deck, which is completely out of line and uneven. You'll see the frustration, but also the clever solution we found with Peter to shrink the stringer and bring the deck back to the correct position, using heat and tension!
In addition to dealing with the structural problems, we had to make a crucial final decision:
Design Change: We simplified the original plan and moved the chain locker to the bow, for safety and usability reasons.
Final Layout Decision: It's time for the cuts of no return! We marked and cut the new hatches and portlights. This is what defines the boat's interior layout (Ollie's berth, head, etc.)—a moment of high tension.
⚠️ ATTENTION: The deck problem was bigger than expected! To avoid having a very long video, we divided the solution into two parts. Part 2 IS ALREADY LIVE!

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.
