Welcome aboard the sailing boat restoration journey! This is the ultimate guide to following us through transforming Still Melody, our 44-ton steel monohull cruising yacht, over a period of three years. Our goal was to create a functional and beautiful vessel worthy of embarking on global adventures.
The Beginning
Back in early 2018, we first laid eyes on our future project – an abandoned steel yacht named Still Melody. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that a great deal of work and dedication would be required to return the boat to its former glory.
The Work Begins
Our first major task was cutting out large patches of corroded steel, including the steering system and gas locker areas. This revealed significant amounts of new, good quality steel to be welded in place. Our journey involved many long days and nights of hard labor, from sanding and grinding surfaces to painting the new steel, installing systems and components, as well as learning invaluable lessons along the way.
Overcoming Challenges
As we progressed through this monumental task, numerous obstacles arose, ranging from uncooperative weather to broken tools and injuries. However, with perseverance and a united front, we managed to push forward and tackle each challenge head-on.
Personal Milestones
Naturally, not only was the boat being transformed during this period but so were we. Personal milestones such as marriage and even an unexpected pregnancy added depth to our journey.
Final Touches
The culmination of three years’ worth of labor saw Still Melody return to the waters in much-improved condition, boasting modern systems and a striking aesthetic overhaul. Throughout this entire endeavor, we learned about boatbuilding, patience, resilience, perseverance and the true power of teamwork.
