We visited the Open Day at KM Yachtbuilders in the Netherlands! 🚢✨
We had the chance to film two amazing aluminum sailboats: one still under construction — perfect to take a closer look at the building details — and another one fully completed, built by the owner himself (except for the hull).
Exploring these boats, talking to the people involved, and diving into this world filled us with inspiration to keep going with our own sailboat project. Every visit like this brings us closer to our dream and makes us count the days until our boat is finally ready!
🌍 Join us on this visit and get inspired too!
👨👩👦 We’re Duca & Roberta (and now also our baby boy, Oli), a Brazilian couple who swapped routine for adventure back in 2016 and never looked back. What began as a one-year sabbatical turned into Odd Life Crafting—a long-form documentary project told in seasons, each one a new DIY challenge and a step toward living the life we dreamed of. Here’s our journey so far:
Season 1 – The Awakening
While traveling and reflecting on what we truly wanted from life, we created this channel to share our path toward a more intentional, creative, and unconventional lifestyle.
Season 2 – Learning by Doing
With no prior experience (and a tiny budget), we built a fully off-grid container house to gain the skills we’d need to one day build our own boat.
Season 3 – The Rebuild
We found a sailboat that had been neglected for over 22 years and spent two full years restoring her, learning everything we could in the process.
Season 4 – The Voyage
We lived aboard and sailed for two incredible years, exploring the Brazilian coast and part of the Caribbean, documenting every step of the journey.
Season 5 – A New Build, A New Life
Now in Europe, we’ve begun building a 43ft aluminum expedition sailboat from scratch—this time while raising the newest (and tiniest) member of our crew, our baby boy. The stakes are higher, but so is our motivation.
On this channel, you’ll find episodes full of hands-on boatbuilding, real-life challenges, budget breakdowns, and the raw reality of building a dream from the ground up—now as a family.
If you love big dreams, honest storytelling, and DIY with purpose—welcome aboard.
Subscribe and follow along as we keep crafting this odd and beautiful life, one season at a time.
