We lost our RUDDER and outboard ENGINE on the SAME DAY! — Sailing Yabá #2
November 12, 2020 by Sailing Yabá | Language: EN Play Time: 00:12:09 | 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 talk about our biggest dilemma so far: lifting the boat in our current location and risking it breaking vs navigating south and risking it sinking PLUS a lot of things that managed to go wrong in one single day PLUS how being surrounded by nice people makes the vibes stay good no matter what!
ODD LIFE FAM: You will definitely enjoy this episode as Duca & Roberta are co-starring with us and we had loads of fun together!

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
