Lifting our wrecked schooner for the FIRST TIME in her life — Sailing Yabá #3
November 22, 2020 by Sailing Yabá | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:02 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two masted 70ft wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought is sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive and we need to lift it onto the dry ASAP to fix what is needed and start our refit.
In this episode we took our chances and decided to lift our wrecked schooner that has NEVER BEEN LIFTED BEFORE!!
Our whole refurbishing process is supposed to happen in the south of Brazil, but travelling there with all the leaks we had was quite risky so we decided to lift it. To find out how things worked out for us, watch the full video!
We hope you enjoy it!

Lifting our wrecked schooner for the FIRST TIME in her life — Sailing Yabá #3 Locations
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
