Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 209
In this episode of our boat restoration, we are trying to get ready to go sailing while facing the daily obstacles of boat life.
Of course, we always try to make room for the typical "smelling the flowers along the way", which in boat language is more like fishing or going for a kayak session with the doggos. We hope you enjoy watching our journey of growing and learning how to be sea people.

We still can't get over how cute (and practical) the dogs' life jackets are!
If you think your dog would love it as much as ours does, you can get one here: https://alnk.to/e76FPlY

💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

Sailing Yabá

Hi! We are Ben & MP and we now own a massive wooden schooner that needs A LOT of work done. Many people told us the boat we chose was doomed, but we refuse to settle on that thought and we are going to do whatever it takes to make this boat a happy sailor again. We are both rookies when it comes to boat ownership and carpentry, so this is going to be a steep learning curve for us which we are ready to embrace. Luckily we found an amazing team of shipwrights that accepted the challenge of bringing Yabá back to life. But we are not only watching them work, besides documenting everything, we are also very keen to learn so we can do as much as possible ourselves, always knowing when to leave it to the experts. Follow our journey to watch how this story unfolds and... wish us luck! www.sailingyaba.com
