As discussed last time; Serenity is moving to be near to me so that I can (hopefully) get back into the swing of getting her voyage ready. Lots of 'flying' in ...

Just occasionally you need to take a step backwards and slow things down in order to get where you want faster. No, I know that doesn't make any sense - I ...

This video covers the actual fitting of all the bits and the initial start-up. There is nothing too complicated here - but do comment if you have ideas that ...

This is the first fit of all the new galley bits into the boat - Origo Stove, Bearmach 32 Litre Fridge and Romesco Sink. Everything is still temporary as this ...

I wanted to get another video out in January as soon as possible. Lots of boxes full of fun DIY projects have arrived. First job is to rip out the old galley. ...

This video is a lot of talking to the camera to cover what went wrong in the second half of 2018. Boat projects really did grind to a near halt. I have ...

So here we go again. Back by popular request... well back by request... well back. So what can I say. At least you know that once you have watched this - there ...

Just managed to almost get this video into November. Things are trickling along quite slowly at the moment. But every step in the right direction is a step in ...

We will just take it as read that any comments to this video will start with, "...a blindfolded drunk giraffe on a rollercoaster could have done that ...

I thought I would get a new video up quickly as a bit of a break from the DIY ones. The Southampton Boat Show is always worth a visit and the weather was ...

This is the first of a two part project. I decided to make a holding tank from glass fibre covered plywood. Partly because of cost, but also to make sure I ...

Well it rained off and on for ages whilst I was fitting the windows. Then nothing for weeks. But today it is pouring, so I am checking for leaks before I ...

I only really took the old windows (portlights) out because I needed to paint the outside - and fill in the old holes. However, as we all know, there is no ...

Although the weather looks perfect in this video - it was a complete pain trying to get a few days in a row when I could do the epoxy work and then the ...

Yep, a second one in May. Having received a lovely big box from Seaglaze just after I finished the rudder, and with good weather forecast for the long Bank ...

A bit wordy this one; sorry about that. But I wanted to get in a 'review and plans' video before I start the windows (Portlights) - I am really excited about ...

Yep. It is actually finished. Normal caveat; this is not an instructional video, just a record of what I actually did. Please comment below if you have any ...

Can you remember as a child looking forward to those Christmas Specials on TV? Only to find that they were simply clips of things you'd already seen plus a ...

So here we go. Part 2 of this mini-series. The next step is to get the stainless steel bows made up, and try and get the frame and acrylic canvas to fit each ...

OK, so not on my list of things to do soon at all. But a cheap, brand new sprayhood appeared on ebay. Forget that it wasn't made for my boat, was not the ...

Things are still moving forward, although the year has shown less progress than I would have liked since the haul out. Still, as long as the progress is in ...

Still slow progress, but gradually speeding up a bit. Definitely one step forward and one step backwards here. There is a good solution for the saloon ...

Fingers crossed. I saw a great holding tank from Tek Tanks that might just fit into some 'spare' space in the heads compartment. I made up a cardboard mock-up ...

I am still slightly in shock at the moment to be honest. There was a very big fire at the boatyard which destroyed 8 boats plus a couple of sheds and a ...
