On the final day of their stay at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Pattaya, Thailand, the Sailing Ruby Rose crew had a lot on their plate as they prepared to depart for Malaysia. One essential task was repairing their watermaker which had packed up during their stay.
The team’s dedication and hard work finally paid off as expert Phil Harper, who had been working on the boat for eight months, attempted to fix the crucial watermaking equipment. In addition to fixing the watermaker, other important tasks included getting their new davits installed, repairing their ice machine, and addressing a leaking freshwater tank.
The crew of Ruby Rose 2 were working against the clock, hoping to have everything sorted out in time for their departure. Despite numerous delays and challenges along the way, they managed to overcome these obstacles with perseverance and determination.
In a clever and innovative repair method, Phil Harper used a barista tampering tool to make a washer. This makeshift washer allowed them to apply the necessary pressure on the failing bulkhead fitting that had been causing the leaks.
Although not without challenges, Phil successfully rebuilt and sealed the watermaker system. After a freshwater flush, it finally started functioning properly again – just in time for their departure!
With everything fixed and running smoothly, the Sailing Ruby Rose crew cast off their lines and set sail towards Malaysia. This essential repair ensured they had access to fresh water for their long voyage.
To learn more about the Sailing Ruby Rose’s journey and experiences, follow their YouTube channel or visit their website. Stay tuned for upcoming episodes where they will share more details about their travels, tips on maintaining essential boat equipment, and stories from life aboard a sailing catamaran.
When you live on a boat, you learn to get creative when it comes to fixing parts- and this week Nick proves that, with some lateral thinking, you really can fix almost anything! After days of troubleshooting the watermaker problems, Nick and Phil finally cracked onto the ultimate issue, and Nick gets to work fixing it. With a coffee machine part. Because of course he does.

Hey there! We're Nick and Terysa and we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others.
We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and have adventures! We moved onto our 38 foot monohull in 2014, sailed across the Atlantic twice, cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Europe, before buying a brand new 45 ft catamaran!
We hope you enjoy what we do. Please subscribe, like and share.
