In the last 2 years my boat tried to sink twice! No one wants a sinking boat! In this video we tackle what is the most common cause of a sailboat sinking, through hull fittings! What can we do to repair our through hulls, what can be done to replace or eve...
Sometimes people do dumb things to boats, that is the case here as I find out in this video a previous owner tried some DIY home brew copper coat that has caused massive issues on my bottom.
Follow along as I sand and strip the hull back down to the gel-...
In the course of this project my boat has become an unorganized mess, I need a better way to story my tools so I got a 3D Printer to start making custom storage containers!
The first project was a 3D Printed holder for my 5" sandpaper!

One of the most valuable things I have done while my boat has been out of the water is building a set of stairs to get on and off of her. It has made life so much easier.
In this video I go through the process of how I built them and give my thoughts on ...
This week on part 3 of the head rebuild: I made templates and cut out bulkheads and started assembling the sink cabinet after pulling the old through hulls on my 1966 Spencer 42' Sloop.
I then used the Rockler Circle cutting jig with the Makita Router ag...
To make the radiused cabinet face for the head in my 1966 Spencer 42' Sloop, I kerf cut 18mm Marine Grade Okume plywood, 19 cuts, almost through to the last ply.
This allows the wood to bend then be filled with thickened epoxy, I used West Systems 105/20...
This time on the Renegade Show: It is Demolition time on my 1966 Spencer 42 Sloop!

It is finally time to get started on the big remodel! First step gutting the head. The 1966 Spencer 42 is a great boat, but the head was not built with a shower, and after 54 years has sustained some water damage.

Going to get groceries when we pulled into Port Townsend boat haven we happened upon this Bayliner 27 that sank at the dock! The local volunteer rescue group was about to start trying to re-float her, in the end we got her floating, with of all things, a c...
No! This is not click-bait! When your boat is taking on water, it is every boat owners nightmare!
Through hull fittings are valves that allow the intake and discharge of water from the sea, being made of metal they are prone to corrosion, and if they bec...

My friend Dave has a 1989 Tollycraft 44, I removed several old incandescent fixtures and replaced them with LED's and in some cases made my own custom fixtures with LED strips!

This is one of the most somber videos I have ever had to make.
Bud is the man I bought my boat from. After buying the boat he became one of the best friends I have ever known. He was a great man.
I will never forget him.

This morning leaving Boat Haven in Port Townsend, headed to Friday Harbor, this boat ran aground in front of me.
I swung around to lend a hand, we got her floating again without too much trouble.
I live streamed this but YouTube had the default as private so no one saw it. Today is Dexter's Birthday!
