Sailing boat DIY is something that I imagine most boat owners have to get to grips with at some level or another.
*****Disclaimer*****
This is NOT a how to video, this is a ‘how did it go when Dominic attempted it himself’ video, ha ha, no seriously. We will post links to reputable how to videos at the bottom of this description.
**********************
We’re learning that a sailing boat has so many systems to try to get to grips with, a learning curve that’s even steeper when you have exactly ZERO experience in any of them!!
The other options for sail boat owners is to pay someone else to take care of these jobs for you, but this presents two rather large problems. Firstly the cost for anything boat related adds up really fast, and second, what if you’re caught with a problem somewhere where there isn’t any easily accessible help? For these two reasons alone we are making it our mission to get to grips with as much as possible before we set sail.
In this video Dominic attempts to save over £300 by servicing the Volvo Penta sail drive on our boat, himself. With exactly ZERO experience in anything mechanical, he calls upon the amazing resources of the internet in an attempt to both broaden his understanding of a sail boats systems, as well as save some much needed money, especially in these unprecedented Covid-19 times.
A couple of special mentions go out to:
John Smith of http://www.solacemarine.co.uk who was very kind with his time and helped Dominic better understand how to service a Volvo Penta Engine.
Also a huge shout out to Chris over at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC64BFQulaAIl1xWG4DJlQ8A
Chris has made so many videos that make it feel easy to attempt jobs that otherwise would be farmed out to the experts, so if you’re interested in an actual ‘How To’ video, his is the channel to go and check out!

Sailing Cadoha
CArly, DOm & HAnk make up the crew of Cadoha. We're challenging ourselves to a new life on the water, exploring and showing off some of the best-kept secrets along our home shores. We're slowly building out our blue water sailing boat to be a comfortable liveaboard boat, capable of expended periods of time off of the grid, with a mix of modern technology and old. Follow our adventures as we learn to find, forage and catch our own food, whilst learning to sail our floating home to so many stunning destinations. We make friends all along the coastline, who we learn and grow from, in our quest for ultimate freedom! The world has never felt so fragile to us as it has these past couple of years, so come and join us as we prepare this vessel and ourselves to be ready for anything!
