Not ready for launch!? 3 Days before we splash
We’re in the final stretch before splash day, and this episode is all about getting our catamaran ready for launch with some of the most important underwater upgrades and maintenance jobs. In this one, we fit and talk through Hydro Axe rope cutters, Flexofold propellers, and the last bits of prep needed to get our boat back in the water after weeks of cleaning, upgrades, and non-stop boatyard work.

We’re sharing the real-life reality of getting a boat ready for launch, including the jobs that matter most for safety, performance, and peace of mind before splash day.
Whether you’re researching rope cutter installation, folding propeller setup, catamaran launch prep, or just enjoy honest sailing YouTube content with a bit of chaos thrown in, you’ll want to follow along.

Sailing Clewless Crew
Midlife sailing adventure | Retired couple living on a catamaran | Full-time liveaboard sailing We’re John & Sha, a retired couple in our mid-50s preparing to move aboard our catamaran this April. After retiring from full-time careers, we’re transitioning to full-time liveaboard sailing and documenting the entire journey. Right now, we’re sailing the Ionian in Greece. Stunning anchorages, pretty fishing villages and gusty winds are all on the agenda here. In the near future we will head off to Albania and Montenegro. From catamaran living and liveaboard life to sailing adventures, slow travel, and going where the wind takes us — this is our next chapter. If you’re interested in sailing in your 50s, retirement adventures, boat life preparation, or leaving the 9–5 for freedom and travel, subscribe and join us.
