My arms have gotten bruised and banged up from all our test fits with the cockpit seats - but now it's time to permanently bond them down!
We start the episode responding to a popular question of "When are the engines going in?" Then Matt does some trimm...
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 amount going on. But Lucy has finished both sides of the boat - sorting out the paintwork. And earned...
In this week's episode, we want to keep rolling with getting as many of our molded pieces in as possible, to try and get the boat to a lockup stage before winter. After looking back to a few weeks ago when we began work on the water tanks, we then jump ba...
With only 4 people, we manage to lift our 25 ft, 300 pound transom into place.
In this week's episode, we focus on not only lifting the transom to get it up to the bridge deck, but find what's necessary to get it to, more or less, fit like a glove.
We ha...
We're on days 4 and 5 of having Ryan and Burt come to help us, and we are just knocking all kinds of projects out!
After having bonded the sill on the bridge deck, we can then, finally, remove the supports from underneath the boat. What it also allows us ...
Let's start distracting from that green foam, by adding shiny molded pieces to the build.
After last week's boat show feature, we're now jumping back in a time a few weeks to late September, where Matt and I begin the first step of what is going to help ...
In order to give ourselves a larger engine bed and plenty of room to work, we're eating into our storage space by moving the bulkhead forward.
We find ourselves doing more odd jobs lately, which only take a few minutes here and there, but always mean we'r...
Before our last two bulkheads go in, we need to make sure they sit in their EXACT place, as there is no margin of error.
Because the large transom piece we received with our second container sits as a cap over these two bulkheads, we need to make sure eac...
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 work on finishing off the anchor locker.
After weeks of on and off prepping our floors, we put the very first one down, situated in our guest bunk.

*Bonding floor to webbing - filmed on August 31

Floors under your feet just make life .... easier. So we figured it was high time we get working on ours. Before we can even think about laying them down though, there's a number of steps we need to go through first to prep the area.
Through the plans g...
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 dock way back and did a substantial epoxy and fibreglass patch - that was the easy bit...
The vi...
Pumped to pump!....some weights, that is! We're in search for a gym to keep fit and exercise while living on a sailboat. Plus, we show you our DIY all weather wind scoop / hatch canopy for our sailboat. A sleek design, easy to make and sew, easily storabl...
The clock is running, and we have 2 hours to unload all the remaining components for our boat!! Plus, we get to do it on one of the hottest days of the year, which is quite a change from the windchills we experienced during the first container unload.

After adding reinforcements to Bulkhead 6 last week, this time we get it in place and find out exactly how large our cockpit is going to be.
We hope you enjoy!
Much love from Annapolis!

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. But, I think I now have a solution. So, more of that next month. And I will show the video of the ...
We're surrounded by big bulkheads, and now it's time to get the first one glassed in to the bridge deck.
We do a little jumping around in this episode, giving features to three of our biggest bulkheads. Matt does a quick explanation of #6, which will lea...
Hello! In this video, we’re still in the boatyard in Almerimar and we continue with our boat jobs - including repainting the hull and repainting our boot stripe. We polish up the prop and apply a special prop antifouling to it as well. We take some time ...
In preparation for our bulkheads to get placed in, there are five areas we need to lay down unidirectional fiberglass, spanning from one hull to the other.
We hope you enjoy!
Much love from Annapolis!

We're AMOST to the stage where we can begin putting in our bulkheads!! But we have just a few preparatory steps before we can get there.
Although the bulkhead placements were provided by Max Cruise when we received the hull, we've made a few small tweak...
This is the moment we officially become a catamaran!!

In this week's episode we set about getting our biometric permit and also get a boat job done that's been an issue for a while but we couldn't get spare parts due to the lockdown restrictions. Tap repair, what a pain!

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 than something like Corian. Only problem is, I hate contact adhesive and have never had any luck...
With our MDF board properly measured and cut, we can now transfer that to our bulkheads to cut out three perfectly matching doors.
The two of us take the measurements on the bulkheads themselves to find the centerline - and from there, where the doors wil...
