“The BIG PROBLEM with our Boat…” | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 84
It seems ridiculous, but it’s the reason we worry so much about our boat. It’s the reason we agonize over every little decision about maintenance and upgrades. Our boat is too nice.
When we bought our boat, the surveyor declared it to be in Bristol condition. A 38 year-old boat! The previous owners took immaculate care of her, and now the torch — to care for this beautiful piece of nautical history — was being passed to us.
Oh but it’s just a boat. That’s also true. We haven’t babied her as much as her previous owners, for the plain facts that we’ve lived aboard full time and introduced her to harsh saltwater. But we’ve done our best to preserve her original glory while also doing the necessary things to keep her seaworthy and suit our cruising goals.
How much do we have to rip apart to make necessary repairs? is the question we wrestle with in this episode. We’ve got a chainplate leaking into the deck, and there might be more. We know there’s some rotten deck core, but how much? We don’t know without tearing things apart.
How much worse does it need to get before we can start to make it better?
Hope you enjoy,
Lauren & Kirk

Sailing Soulianis
We're a couple of born and raised Midwesterners with hearts belonging to the ocean. After a decade of dreaming + planning to buy a sailboat, we found a beautiful Tartan 37 in Wisconsin, sailed for a season in the fresh water of Lake Michigan, and are migrating south via the inland river system to saltwater and warmer climates. Join us on our journey! Lauren & Kirk
