We're taking a bit of time off from Athena to help Ava's sister (Nina), and her husband (Julian) do a bit of work on their new (to them) 2018 Fountaine-Pajot Helia 44. Originally we were only going to be helping them for a couple of weeks, but it looks lik...
This is not a regular video. This week's video is here: https://youtu.be/pEe5hoCAza0

In this week's video, we drop the keel on a Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 and open it up to repair a leak on the top of the keel.
This is not our boat. We're taking a short Hurricane break from Athena. We'll head back down to work on her after the boat show in...
We take a short break from the oh glorious boat work and check out the interior of the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 we're working on.

In this week's video, Julian and I fix an annoying design flaw on their 44 ft Fountaine Pajot Helia. When it rains, the water from part of the hardtop drains into the cockpit, causing wet socks and other misery. Ava tours the Hunly submarine, and I make a ...
In this week's video, it's time to rebuild the keel. Having done Athena's refit in Europe, this is also my first chance to use some different products from @TotalBoat. It was a great trip down memory lane to lay up fiberglass again. I'm a big fan of the lo...
In this week's video, I open up a pair of saildrives to replace the shaft seals. The first saildrive has no issues, but the second saildrive has a nasty surprise. The nut on the vertical shaft has somehow come loose and slowly been ground down to a lovely ...
In this week's video, we finally glue the keel back in place on the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 using Sikaflex 292.

Who doesn't love a good bit of varnishing? :) In this video, I try some new products for spiffy-fying wood. Spoiler alert: I still haven't found better products or processes than the one I used back in Denmark.
For easy varnishing of interior trim, I high...
It's time for our traditional year-in-review video, where we take a quick look at everything that happened during 2023. A full year of full-time cruising/sailing in 24 minutes.
It's time to button up the last few projects before going back in the water, including replacing a piece of trim in the galley, making another piece of trim for the head, yet more varnishing, and applying new antifouling to the sail drive and the prop.
