💙 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.

Getting Ready for the Ultimate Adventure

After what seems like an eternity, Sailing Yabá is finally reaching the end of their most crucial countdown. For the last few weeks, they have been tirelessly working on making their sailboat ready for the water. They are so close now that they can almost taste it. The Big Challenge Their latest task involves welding bars onto the mast to make it stronger. It’s not a pretty sight, but they know it’s necessary for the safety and longevity of their boat. They’ve come up with a clever solution by removing part of the bar, filling it with SikaFlex, and then placing it back. This ingenious method will help secure the mast without drilling through it. The Perfect Timing To make things even more exciting, Ben is up on the mast welding while Marcela flies the drone to film him. They spot a penguin along the way, adding another amazing moment to their adventure. )Overcoming Doubts As they progress in their mission, they are reminded of a question asked by many viewers. Why didn’t they perform these tasks with the mast on the ground? Sailing Yabá explains that their unique boat design doesn’t allow for easy removal and reattachment of the mast. They acknowledge the challenges but focus on moving forward, even if it means facing more obstacles while on the water. )A New Perspective With their mast finally reinforced and standing tall, Sailing Yabá is ready to tackle new challenges. They work on installing support bars in the cockpit area for the stops. Meanwhile, Marcela focuses on creating a control system for the sails. )The Final Touches The Sailing Yabá crew continues to make incredible progress, but they know there’s still more work to be done.
