S1E52. From Boatyard to Boat Life | DIY Sailboat Restoration Continues
🚤 What does a day in the life of a boat builder actually look like?
This week on Sailing UV, you're coming along for a full day—from waking up on our 57-foot ketch project boat with Violet, making coffee aboard, heading into the boatyard, installing electronics, diesel heaters, joystick controls, repairing hulls with epoxy, and then coming back home to tackle more restoration projects on UV.
Along the way we also uncover one of the biggest mistakes you can make inside a fiberglass boat... using the wrong paint. It may seem harmless, but it can lead to mold, extra work, and a whole lot of frustration.
Whether you're restoring your own boat, dreaming about sailing around the world, or just enjoy seeing what happens behind the scenes in a professional boatyard, we hope you'll enjoy coming along.
⚓ Every week we're one step closer to launching UV and beginning our circumnavigation.

Drove across the country with my 100# doberman "Violet" to buy a neglected nearly to death sailboat , move on to it , and nothing is going to plan ! Join us on this adventure as we refit and sail UV ( our '96 Bruce Robert’s , Henry Morgan 57 ) around the globe .
