We’ve Been Scuppered! How to Fix Damaged Bulwarks, Scuppers, and Deck Gear Attachment Points
In the words of the inimitable Lady Gaga: “Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger”. Or as we Brits would say: “In for a penny, in for a pound”. Both of these sayings refer to that place you go, when you’re so far down a particular rabbit hole that there’s no turning back and you just have ...

GONE SAILING! How To Remind Yourself What The Hard Work Is For | Boat Refit Documentary Part 11
Being able to take Brilliant II sailing again - despite still being in the middle of a refit - has been a game-changer for our sanity 🤪😅 It's allowed us to fire up all the systems again (nav equipment / water-maker, etc, etc) after an almost 10 month break, and test out the new modifications w...

Talk about chaining yourself to the dock! After nine months, 18 days, 10 hours and 20 minutes of our boat being immobile (thanks to the scale of the refit), we finally managed to take her sailing. It was a massive push to get her out and in a condition that was temporarily liveable, without throwin...

This is the story of how we managed to turn a simple electrical panel upgrade into another major job we never intended to do 🤯🤪 Needless-to-say, things evolved (as they do on boats), in this case culminating in (almost) a complete re-wire ⚡️🔌 Our 43-year-old Peterson 44 has now undergone a transfor...

Roll ‘n’ Tip Baby! The ‘How To’ Behind Our Cockpit Re Paint | Boat Refit Documentary Part 6
For those following our refit progress in real-time, here's the full story of the cockpit refit. It's essentially about how to achieve a spray-paint-like finish on a boat without actually spray-painting. The products we used were: ✔️ Altex Epoxy High-Build Surfacer - ✔️ Awlgrip 545 Ep...
How to stay married during a boat refit | Boat Refit Documentary Part 5
Our latest real-time Vlog covers the accidental painting of our cockpit 🤪 It's accidental because it wasn't part of the original refit plan, but well, like everything else so far, we discovered parts of what we'd already worked on internally were of course connected to parts of the co...
⚠️ Painting in Progress ⚠️
This three-minute video doesn't really do justice to the phenomenal amount of work that's gone into re-painting our cockpit. Every process you see here is filmed just once, but in reality it takes place multiple times. Over the last few weeks we've done: ✔️ Multiple coats of two-pa...
Onwards and Upwards!
In the last couple of weeks we've moved onwards and upwards.... literally! Onwards because we're no longer working on that never-ending Laminex 🕺🏻💃🎆🙌🍾 Upwards because we seem to have ended up in the cockpit, which is now totally stripped back and in the throws of its own refit 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♂️ W...
Last of the Laminex – Kicking Boat Refit Goals!! 💃🕺🏻🍾🎆🙌🙌🙌
Hallelujah!!!! We finally glued the last piece of Laminex in place this week 🙌🙌🙌 Strictly speaking it's not the very last piece to go in (because we have a few sliding doors to rebuild and re-clad), but it's the last of the re-cladding of integral furniture and bulkheads. We started this...
How to Beat the Boat Refit Blues | Boat Refit Documentary – Part 4
Calculate the time you think something is going to take you on a boat, then double it, and add some 🤪 That's definitely been the case with this stage of our refit, which has seemed like a Groundhog Day of fitting Laminex to interior cabinetry and bringing exterior timbers back from the dead 🤯 S...
Progress!
We're moving in the right direction 🙌 In the last couple of weeks, teak veneer has been re-installed on the major bulkheads, broken trims have been fixed, and the first coat of varnish has been applied to all the fixed timbers onboard. Now to keep on keeping calm, and varnish on!! 🤣
