#53 - Paint makes everything BETTER!! Steel boat project on a shoestring!!
July 29, 2021 by Sailing Melody | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:06 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Andy and Melissa, Prep the coach roof ready for painting as we try and restore our boat on a shoestring.
Melissa gets her birthday wish of getting some paint on the coach roof.
Remember we’re doing all of this so we can go full time cruising as a sailing family in a few years time.
We’re hoping eventually to get the boat set up for single handed sailing so we can relax knowing she is an easy boat to sail in any conditions from light winds to rough seas.
Making sure our mast is in perfect condition along with our rigging is super important and we will be spending a lot of time getting it perfect!
This is obviously a huge refit and refurbishment of this big, old, abandoned steel yacht and it’s not only time consuming, it’s complicated and quite expensive so we really do value any help we can get, whether it’s helpful advice and comments on the video or gifts through our Amazon Wishlist or actual contributions through Patreon, Paypal and Ko-Fi.
We want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thank you to eveyone who has contributed in any way and here are the links if you’d like to help us out at all on this amazing journey.

Sailing Melody
Sailing Melody is the official YouTube channel for the Bennington Family and our sailing adventures. We are now well on our way to becoming a full time live-aboard family. We started with a little 24ft Snapdragon bilge keel, and then moved up to a 28ft Great Dane long keel yacht. Now though we're working on MELODY, our 38ft Steel Pilothouse Cutter. We're working hard to get her ready to go back in the water but as you'll see there's a lot of work to do. Join us on our epic journey restoring this beautiful boat to her former glory and then come with us as we set off around the world.
