BUILDING the SEXIEST Sailing Boat HARD DODGER // Teulu Tribe
November 11, 2024 by Teulu Tribe | Language: EN Play Time: 00:32:00 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

We threw out rulebook for this one, as we set about designing and building the inital structure for our new hard dodger. Until now, we haven’t had any protection over the companionway, but with our sights set on Alaska next year, its time to add a bit more shelter in the cockpit. Instead of sticking to traditional straight lines and safe angles, we went ‘jazzy’, as Becka put it – and discovered that in design, with risk, comes reward.

*About Us*
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
