Just about sailing is simply a light hearted video diary of someone who has wanted a sailing boat for as long as he can remember. Then in 2015 I decided it's ...

It was time for a new Channel Trailer. The old one is well over 4 years old and there are now over 130 videos uploaded. I also decided to change the name of ...

Well, if that title didn't put you off, nothing will. There really is nothing like the sound of a Big Band in full swing, and this is nothing like the sound of ...

Yes, I know I'm releasing this on 6th December and it is supposed to be the December video. Sorry about that, but it is explained in the video. Not a huge ...

Two things happen in this one. Firstly, I am eventually going to re-try making the complete HDPE water tank that I started before. But I'm not totally happy ...

Not much happened in September. Mostly due to my stupidity. However, there was some progress with getting Serenity spruced up to look her best, along with some ...

This one is all about trying to match the blue colour of Serenity's hull and finish the repair of the crack in the side by doing the paintwork. I bashed into a ...

This month's video was supposed to be about painting over the repair to the hull I did ages ago. I tried a colour matching experiment... and it didn't work. ...

The clue is in the title - lots of varnishing in this one. I am going to have a go at doing a one-off Q&A video shortly. So if you want to ask a question ...

Actually, there are a couple more bits of Formica to do. But I think we will all have had enough of that, so this is the final Formica video showing the tricky ...

After doing a complete mock-up of the Galley ages ago, it's finally time to actually get round to doing it for real. I decided to test out using Formica rather ...

After a bit of a pause with other things getting in the way of boat projects. I have finally managed to get a couple of woodworking projects finished. And when ...

Not a lot of boat work going on in January and February. But I've been looking for a solution to some video sound recording problems, and I think I've found an ...

Goodbye and good riddance to 2020. This video is just a calm and peaceful look at progress to date and the slowly diminishing number of projects tasks left to ...

My musical homage to a year spent with everyone doing sketchy Zoom and Skype calls. What could possibly go wrong? The rules: Live (of course), One take only ...

This is the (comparatively) simple part of doing the physical installation and connecting the wires - plus two tests to see how long it takes to haul in 60 ...

My dingy has been hidden away neglected in storage for a few years. In this video I fit some wheels to make it much easier to pull it up the beach. But I also ...

This is the second part of installing a new Lofrans electric windlass. There is a link to the first video below. This video is solely about putting in the new ...

My original hope was that I could convert the Mk I chain locker (which is not self-draining) into a Mk II locker (which is self-draining). But boat DIY is ...

This is NOT a how to do it DIY varnishing video. It is just a video of how my daughter and I tackled the task we had been putting off for so long. I tried out ...

Yep. Absolutely nothing to do with sailing at all. But I have a lot of woodworking coming up with the forthcoming galley refit. I normally try to avoid ...

Lucy, my daughter, is doing more and more of the labour intensive work. And getting very good at it. Progress is still slow, but it is all in the right ...

This video doesn't really fit anywhere sensible on this channel, or anywhere else really. Maybe it's the current Lockdown and the lack of the possibility of a ...

Part 1 checked whether this was even feasible as a DIY project. This part covers the main construction up to the point of doing the first leak test. Not a 100% ...
