SLOWLY SINKING??? The real reasons we’re still here.
July 03, 2024 by Sailing Melody | Language: EN Play Time: 00:38:58 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Sailing enthusiasts might know Sailing Melody from their engaging YouTube channel that documents life on the sea, featuring adventures with boats and watersports along with various water adventure tourism activities. The crew has shared exciting details about Dway Marina in Cornwall where they’ve been based for some time. This marina offers a wide range of services, and it’s also the location where they undertook an extensive insulation job in their boat’s engine bay to reduce noise.
Dway Marina Services: An Overview
Boat owners seeking a place for maintenance, repairs or winter storage should consider Dway Marina. The facilities there are impressive, boasting an all-encompassing service suite including workshops equipped with tools and equipment, along with specialist engineering capabilities in rigging, engine work, sail making, and more.
Noise Reduction in the Engine Bay
During their stay at Dway Marina, Sailing Melody focused on enhancing sound insulation for their boat’s engine room. They installed industrial-grade soundproof foam in strategic places to dampen engine noise, improving overall comfort onboard.
A Look Inside the Engine Bay Post-Insulation
The interior of their boat’s engine bay now exhibits a tidier, more organized appearance following the insulation project. Besides soundproofing materials, LED lighting has been strategically installed to light up dark corners, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Dway Marina’s Excellent Customer Service
Sailing Melody lauded the marina’s excellent customer service. They found staff to be particularly helpful, making the stay and any challenges faced (like fuel issues encountered en route) much easier to manage.
Planning Your Visit or Stay at Dway Marina
If you’re considering Dway Marina for maintenance, repairs, winter storage, or just a relaxing stay by the sea, take note of its full laundry facilities, clean restrooms, showers (even with baths available!), and fully disabled access features. Additionally, it offers fuel services – both diesel and petrol – with the marina utilizing higher octane for petrol to benefit engine health.
Melissa’s Upcoming YouTube Channel
Keep an eye out for Sailing Melody’s Melissa, who’s preparing to launch a dedicated YouTube channel showcasing boats available for sale at Dway Marina. Her show rounds are designed to be an engaging look into the variety and quality of boats in stock.

Final Thoughts

As they continue their sailing journey, both in terms of exploration and content creation, fans can look forward to more exciting stories, practical advice, and stunning visuals.
This week we completely renovate our entire engine bay adding some amazing sound proof, fire retardant, self adhesive, foil backed foam taking it from looking awful to looking awesome!
Thanks for following our family on our sailing adventures.
We also reveal a bit of a worry, we're taking on water, it's definitely sea water, but we don't know how it's getting into the boat!
Although we don't ask anyone for money, people do ask us if there is a way they can help us keep making these videos.

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.
