Wave Rover, my modified Contessa 26 is up for sale! This is the vessel that I sailed across the Atlantic twice as a solo sailor, on an 11 month voyage covering 7800 nautical miles on the open ocean. The current owner reluctantly wishes to sell it on due ...
The great thing about a Catamaran Build is that you get to have 2 goes at getting it right, and with the Starboard side complete, the Portside gets a makeover and the extension of our Catamaran Hull is done. Still plenty of work to do, but the added length...
We make it to Sausalito after a fun weekend at Angel Island. We get some necessary projects done so we can continue sea trials in San Fransisco Bay proper.

We had quite the search process in trying to find a paint that was going to work for us and our application on our boat, but we were able to find the perfect product and finally get the deck welded back on as well!

Not happy to settle for a 39ft this Catamaran is getting a serious extension makeover before it even hits the water out to 42 feet or 12.7mtrs. The magic size for Catamarans to ensure costs are contained in "Marinas" and "Ever Increasing " Insurance Premiu...
We found our weather window! For our first sea trail test. It was as light as we wanted it. It was so amazing to spend the chill time we had in China Camp and we were ready move on too. Hope you enjoy the journey with us!

After building ourselves a Project Brupeg inspired wet sand blaster we put it to good use blasting our chain locker, but it wasn't a straight forward process and it involved us building some extra tools in order to get the job done!

If you don't get a "Reality Check" every now and and then, the whole thing becomes, kinda meaningless. I am the first to admit that solo boat building can grind you down, but when you are able to get a little bit of that inspiration, it's amazing how your ...
The next leg of our journey, separating ourselves from the dock. It feels SO good to be in the bay. Memo and his family come to join us and celebrate... with tacos! of course ;)
Thanks for watching!

In order to save money, but definitely not time, we decided to make our own dustless sand blaster, taking a page from what Project Brupeg has done to prep much of their boat :)

The canvas dodger we had inherited aboard Avocet had seen better days; the frame was not stout, the dark blue canvas had been sun bleached and abused over the years, and perhaps the worst trait of all was that the strataglass was as transparent as milk mak...
The plywood is sealed and major components are installed permanently. Check out how I'm filling the rest of my day (building a humble Bungalow for Mrs Rover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuIhqCWOrVg

Permanently Installed and now fully integrated hard top is now laminated in place this week. The considerable effort in getting these parts in place means that the cleanup can be worse than the actual job itself. Janet and I celebrate our 30th Wedding Anni...
The month of May... what a whirlwind! Now that the engine passes all tests we are back on track to leaving the dock asap. We had SO much to get done. It was so hard to share our decision to leave Swab in my sister's care. He is happy and he is loved and th...
Choosing a Propeller for our Catamaran is a lot more complicated than just buying one on-line. It begins with determining the dimensions available under the boat and then templating the shape and size, before passing it over to the experts to assist in the...

Our whole project is flying along and the complexities are getting more challenging as we go ahead. The essential hull extensions get their start and Janet has taken on a whole new range of challenges as well to build experience in the Marine Rescue Field ...
Final test of our fortitude! The Westerleaky is at it again with another major leak we cannot ignore. In this episode we solve it. We tackled it as a team and got it fixed and tested in two days. Garrett's back constantly gives him issues so that's where I...
The inspection hatches arrive and I proceed with building and fitting the crash bulkheads. Later in the video I announce the 3 winners of the MK3 Wind Vane Building Plans. Thank you to everyone who participated.
