Very Nearly About Sailing July 2023 – Making a Circular Saw cutting jig thing for HDPE Project
No HDPE Welding this month. I needed to do some preparatory work. Specifically, increasing my indoor workshop space and also making some new saw horses and a Circular Saw jig so that I can cut the HDPE much more accurately.
I Had No Other Choice…. (MJ Sailing – Ep 294)
Please don't hate me for this...but yes, I've done it again. You've told me not to...but I really had no other choice. This happens to be another video focused on fairing. What choice did I have?, you ask. Not much. As we're still waiting to get a laser in to continue work on...
Installing Our Prop Shaft & Building the Skeg (MJ Sailing – Ep 292)
It's time to drill a large hole in the bottom of our boat, and finally install our stern tube and prop shaft. This week we have a project the two of us have been eager to work on for a very long time, and that is beginning to install our prop shaft. Last spring we cut a test hole in the bott...
TotalBoat vs Awl Grip…We Switched Primers – And We Can TELL!! (MJ Sailing – Ep 278)

A.I.S self installation. Am I Safe now? (Learning By Doing Ep226)
The last big job to do on Trade Runner was install AIS. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is one of the best electronic aids you can have and I wouldn't want to do night passages without it, especially solo. GME sent me a whole kit and in this video I walk you though the installation. ...
Building our new Salon from scratch. (Learning By Doing Ep225)

Can we lift up this beast of a boat with just the two of us? For the past two years of the build, our boat has been sitting on the forms which came with the kit from Vietnam.

DIY sailboat rigging, save thousands! (Learning By Doing Ep224)
Every sailboat needs new standing rigging at some stage. Mine was over 20 years old so I decided to do most of the work myself. In this video I go through the whole job and show you how I went about this very important job. You shouldn't be scared of this as its not rocket science, anyone who i...

CATAMARAN BUILD – This Could Be A $$ Mistake (MJ Sailing – Ep 281)
$1,000 of bonding agent in our hands and one chance not to mess this up. Matt and I have been quite busy these past few days (just finished this project yesterday) and using the warm weather at our disposal to break out our methacrylate bonding agent again. It's the adhesive we use to bond all...
Having a Quiet Cry in the Cupboard (MJ Sailing – Ep 278
It's gotten to that point of fairing where it's finally broken us. We feel like we're in an endless loop of doing the same thing day in and day out without actually making any progress forward. To be honest, we're sure it's happening....it's just very hard to see. Wh...
Very Nearly About Sailing March 2023 – Making something out of wood that isn’t a rudder
This is a slightly odd, one-off, woodwork project. I needed to build something for another bigger project that will feature in a few months. Unfortunately I ran out of both time and epoxy. It will be finished next month. And I will reveal what it is and how it works. If it works, that is...

Should We Have Built This Holding Tank Ourselves? (MJ Sailing – Ep 275)
We are trying so very hard not to bore you with more videos of us just fairing and sanding, although that is basically what is taking up 90% of our time right now. And although more primer should be going on very very soon, we didn't think you'd be interested in our groundhog day of perfe...
Hunting Down Hardwood (MJ Sailing – Ep 274)
We go to Maryland's #1 lumberyard to find wood for our cabinet trim. But are they going to have what we're looking for? This week is a toss between a bunch of small things we've been doing here and there. Since most of our attention (in real life) is addressing the port hull to get...
Very Nearly About Sailing February 2023 – Attempting to Soda Blast the chain locker – FAIL
So why did it fail? Well, mostly because I didn't do any proper preparation or testing to see what the basic parameters might be. I just plugged it in and had a go. I really need to do a proper test. I didn't actually purchase the air compressor for Soda Blasting, so it is very possible th...

Catamaran Electrical System Design and Install – Catamaran Build Ep 251
