Our steel boat restoration projects continue, and we are getting ready for a big one- paint! But can we get the paint on before the weather changes and things become a lot more difficult? Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Buy us a coffee: k...

After two years of being on land with our steel sailboat, we are finally ready to paint the outside of the hull and the deck. But we have never done this kind of painting and we aren't sure we have the right equipment... plus the weather has taken a turn f...

We have been in a boat shed for two years now. How that time has even passed is beyond me, but here we are. Our steel sailboat has transformed from a swiss cheese pile of steel to a painted hull with an interior still in pieces... and you have had some q...

Finally getting paint on our boat was a big deal! Check out Capter 5 E 88 for the full story!

For two years now we have been working to restore and rebuild our 40 ft Van De Stadt Norman 40 steel sailboat. This was not the plan when we bought her and very little has gone to plan since then, but after two years of cutting, welding and painting, we a...

After getting our hull painted, we move on to finally finishing re-installing the cutlass bearing into our steel sailboat. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Buy us a coffee: ko-fi.com/waywardlifesailing Website: http://www.the-wayward-life...

We have been working to rebuild our steel sailboat for more than two years now. The boat restoration projects are going well, but there is still a ton to do. In this video we explain to you what the biggest projects are that we have left and show you wha...

After taking our engine out to fix a few things on our sailboat, we are ready to reinstall it. But it turns out that taking an engine out can be quite a bit different than putting it back in... Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Buy us a cof...

Months after taking our floor apart to get to our water tanks, we finally get to the point where it’s time to put them back together, but of course it’s not as simple as just putting a couple of lids back on…. Welcome to a steel boat restoration 😂...

After so much time and work, tearing things apart on our sailboat, we are finally putting parts of the bow back on! We clean up the bow roller and the windlass and get ready to put them back on the boat! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Bu...

The pneumatic needle gun is one of the best tools for removing rust from a boat. Not something we love to use, but it definitely does the job when we need it!

Looks can be very deceiving, and unfortunately that is what we found with our steel sailboat. Two years after hauling out for what we thought would be some fairly quick repairs, we are still chasing rust. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlif...

2023 was full of stress, heartbreak, amazing times and big movement forward. We accomplished a lot and realized we had a lot more to do to rebuild this sailboat of ours than we had thought. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Buy us a coffe...

As we continued on with our work in the bilges, we found the last thing we wanted to- more holes. We thought we were done welding on the hull, but clearly we were wrong. This steel boat rebuild is not going as planned, again, and we are looking at an eve...

People wonder why we are working so hard and putting so much of our lives off just to get a boat back in the water. Mornings like this are why. There’s something about waking up on the water that just makes everything better. It’s worth all the hard wo...

Whether or not to use rust converters is quite the debate in the steel boat community. Some people claim (aggressively at that) that using rust converters will be the downfall of any steel boat, while others claim that it's a life saver. We decide to try ...

It's finally time to put some spray foam back in the boat, but of course we have some small projects to do first, and some prep to do. But we are also using a new product and bigger bottles. Is it going to work out this time? This is the last step on o...

Spray foam is finally in and that means it's time to start putting things back in! Starting with aligning the propeller shaft to the engine :) We are getting closer to the water every day and can't wait to have the bulk of our sailboat restoration projects...

Now that the engine is aligned and almost ready to go, it's time to work on the other systems in our steel sailboat, like the fresh water. We get into it and discover that things are kinda gross... but will we regret deciding to change all of it? Patreo...

After almost two and a half years of rebuilding our sailboat, we are on to putting together cabinets- or rather, I, Taryn, am. And quite honestly, I have no idea how to properly do woodwork or how to get these things back together, but I'm giving it my be...

After 2.5 years of restoring our floating tiny home, we are FINALLY at the point where we can work on the project list we started out with. And one of those projects is getting rid of the rust under the mast step :) But it isn't as simple as just chipping ...

We are rebuilding our sailboat so we can visit incredible, epic off-grid places in the middle of nowhere.

We are moving forward and knocking projects off the list as we work to get our steel boat back in the water. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Buy us a coffee: ko-fi.com/waywardlifesailing Website: http://www.the-wayward-life.com Instagram:...
