Sailboat Maintenance (or how to avoid unnecessary predicaments) // Ryan's live tech talks #4
When we asked what topic you guys wanted us to cover in a Live Session, lots of you answered: sailboat maintenance!
In this new installment of Ryan’s Live Tech Talks, we will cover a variety of topics, and among other:
– How to think about your sailboat maintenance based on your usage of the boat (Weekend sailor VS full-time cruiser)
– Systems that will (literally) blow up at you if not maintained properly
– Mistakes we made when maintaining Polar Seal (or… not maintaining.)
– DIY versus letting someone else do it for you: what to think about.
And probably much, much more!
Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm. Don't forget to subscribe (it helps us a lot ;)) and check out our website at www.ryanandsophie.com for more sailing-related photos and articles!
