Installing the dead glass in this case , or dead wood in traditional boatbuilding speak is an essential part of any stern drive boat. The beefing up of this region of the hulls is a major step forward and the completion of the bilges under my Engine rooms ...
We’re recovering from last week and get to a project we know we can complete; the main chainplates! It was fun working on a straight forward project. Much of the work was already done and all that was left was to secure them to the hull. So much thinking...
Here’s an extra long video following Oceane as she journeys on land on Morovo Island, learning about their famous wood carving. We are currently anchored in Morovo lagoon, and have commissioned three villages for some wood carving projects for sylfia. Sp...
After three years of talking about the lifestyle of Catamaran Cruising it was time for Janet and I to find out if we really like it, the verdict, you tell us. A two week charter holiday Sailing in the Whitsunday Uslands concreted our thinking and we are in...
With most of California on fire, working conditions aren’t ideal but we press onward. We work on the main chainplates a little, make some more headway on the engine deck box before we wait on parts again, and solve a problem. We’ve known for a while th...
Dry fitting an engine can be a bit of a task but finding the correct position for the shaft can be another matter altogether. Fun and games this week and squeezing into tight spaces.

Mild steel hardware has been used on boats for centuries. Most of our hardware, fittings, and fasteners are steel. Some are galvanized, like our fasteners, and others we protect in a couple step process. One of the things we like most about working with st...
Finishing the bilge work will strike a major milestone in this project but with the most complicated region of the boat being dealt with here, the Catamaran Engine Rooms, it is vital that it is built strong and able to withstand the torque and vibration th...
This one is for the fans. Listening to your requests; longer, less music, and not Ruth-less. Thank you for watching and following along on this dream. We’ve been taking time to be together and not always working on the boat. All of this means nothing if ...
The Engine Room in my Catamaran has taken a great deal of work and planning and this week I begin the reinforcement and construction of the final Engine Bearers for the 2 Yanmar 4JH57 Motors. Using aged hardwood for the bearers will provide a solid foundat...
Installing a motor on a brand new build, when doing it yourself, isn’t cut and dry. It’s easy to take for granted the simplicity of repowering an old boat or rebuilding an engine in your restoration (however, NOT easy) but when you have to decide the p...
Thinking into the future, the deck mould preparation can begin. Looking towards the container shelter tent and flipping the lid for the laminating. Finishing up the engine bolster lamination, and a mad rush to Queensland before the border lockdown and a vi...
You don’t see catheads often anymore and that’s exactly why we wanted them. Rediviva is our little big ship and she needs all the traditional features we can give her. In the previous episode, 107, we explain a little more about what the catheads are f...
It was a (very) long 5 months but we completed the LAST piece of our external boat refit by building and installing our new bulwark design, inspired by the Lyle Hess Bristol Channel Cutter's. It was a lot of work, but SO worth it! In this video we share ho...
Get a load of this, Yanmar Engine Removal - Test fitting our 2 Yanmar Engines was a big deal and removing them was equally as big. Janet and I spent a lovely Husband and Wife quality time day getting to know our new machines.
Stay tuned to this channel t...
Take the help when you can,as my son Sammo hangs around and gets his hands dirty helping move engine modules out of the engine rooms and draws up a template that will confirm my engine bearer placement. Good bit of boat building in this issue and even a ta...
Got to love boat terminology. Catheads, baggy wrinkles, and gollywobbler are some of my favorites. Today we not only work on the rudder cheeks so we can have a legit tiller but also our catheads. Anything and everything old school sailing makes us happy. W...
The classic, father and son battle of wills, and in this case heads as we muscle the Port Head module into a flexible position to enable access whilst making the whole unit movable up and down to allow for perfect fitment into the future. "Father and Son b...
A girlfriend comes to help me celebrate my birthday! Memo takes us out on the San Pablo Bay in his Morgan 30 and we anchor at China Camp. Rediviva feels like a queen as her bright work gets pampered. Boat soup ingredients below.
Thanks for watching everyo...
This week is all about Strengthening the Portside Bathroom Module. Preparation and some precise laminating assists in keeping the weight down, and reinforcing the areas that will ensure the stricture. Rather than slather reinforcement layers all over the t...
