It's raining inside my sailboat. If you'd like to see how I deal with leaking windows check this video out. We remove all 7 of the salon windows (very difficult) to prepare, paint, and re-caulk them to seal them from the elements. This was a much-needed jo...
Splash in the water with Zingaro! The new Oyster 485 is going IN THE WATER! Woohoo! Cross your fingers for me, let's make sure this boat has no leaks and is good to FLOAT! :)
This is hands down the hardest job on a sailboat, and doing it on an island 40nm north of Venuzuela isn't helping. Removing the rudder and changing the rudder bearings is going to prove to be a very time-consuming and labor intensive job. Here it is in 10 ...
For the last month I've been tearing this 48' Oyster sailboat apart, getting ready to sail it back to Florida and start the real work. My Covid escape plan is going well, but I need to be in Florida before January 15, and right now there is a TON of work l...
Boat repair never goes the way you want. There is some serious damage inside the boat from removing the thru hulls. We go over how to repair it, then we drop the rudder so we can see why it's sticking.

This boat looks like trash. It's been sitting for three years, it's ripped on the side, flat, and dirty as all heck. Can it be restored? The answer may surprise you! Or should I scrap it and start over?? This and more on this episode of Sailing Zingaro.

The first days aboard a new 50' Sailboat are a bit overwhelming! The teak decks, the mosquitos, the batteries, the water... Will I be able to tackle ALL these things before I have to travel? Where will the money come from? How long will it take? Do I have ...
