WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
Checkers is our beautiful boat and the heart of our channel. When we bought her in Tahiti, we believed her sails were in decent condition. But once we got underway, it became painfully clear: they’re not just tired—they’re rotten. Torn, soft, and barely holding shape. We’ve done everything we can to nurse them along, but they’re beyond saving.
This fundraiser is about giving Checkers the sails she deserves. We’ve already poured a huge amount into getting her seaworthy—gear, repairs, and the kind of hands-on fixes that only happen when you live aboard full-time. But this next step is bigger than us.
We’ve shared the full story in our GoFundMe video on our channel, The Sailing Brothers. And to make this sail a true community effort, we’ll be writing the names of every donor who gives £10 or more directly onto the new sail. Your name will fly with us—visible, permanent, and part of the journey.
If our videos have ever made you laugh, taught you something, or helped you feel part of the adventure—this is your chance to help keep it going.
Thank you for being part of the crew.
— Luke & Adam, The Sailing Brothers
