NO MORE HOLES! But, will our Boat Float??? Ep 183
NO MORE HOLES! Yew! Finishing off the repairs to the hull we fibreglass the outside for strength and make it water tight. These are the biggest glass jobs we have ever done!!! https://www.sailingnandji.com/
This video was filmed in March as the global pandemic took off. Thailand was one of the first countries affected and we took the adequate precautions early to protect ourselves.

In this episode of Sailing Nandji, we are getting close to finalising the repairs to Nandji after the reef scenario… The broken timbers have been removed and then re-planked by a local Thai contractor. To cover the timbers on the outside and to fill the seams the guys used an epoxy filler which I ground right back ready for fibreglassing. I had already back filled the seams on the inside with an epoxy wood glue and then fibreglassed over the lot including the structural ribs. The outside is now ready for more fibreglassing and we tackle the biggest glass jobs we have ever attempted.
Before the reef scenario, we thought it would be fun to get a crew member on board for the sail across from Thailand to Sri Lanka, Laura from another Youtube channel came to join the crew and it was helpful to have another set of hands for the final fibreglassing job.
Nandji is nearly ready to go back in the water and the repairs are coming to an end, the only question now is… Will our boat float???
With no sailing experience, we bought a yacht, got it blue water cruising ready and set off from Australia sailing to the Pacific! We have since cruised through New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and then onto the boat yard in Malaysia to prepare for the years to come. With a new engine, we continued onto Thailand, then back down into Indonesia and specifically West Sumatra to live the island life and chase the surf. With our Sailing plans changing, we returned to Thailand to wait for the weather and begin our journey to the northern route of the Indian Ocean to Sri Lanka before heading south across the Indian Ocean once cyclone season has finished and the trade winds begin! We were on our shake down sail when the mooring we were on failed on our home ended up on the reef. We saved the old girl and got her back to the boat yard for repairs to continue on our adventure!
We departed the east coast of Australia in July 2017 and have since sailed over 10000nm offshore. We have explored some amazing countries and met some beautiful people along the way. We have experienced so many different and diverse cultures, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of nowhere, spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and had the time of our lives doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades around the World!
