Impi is sailing around the world and in this series we share our 'haul out time' in New Zealand. This particular video includes some work done in the boat yard at NORSAND as well as the launch of Impi back into the water and many various chores around the maintenance of our boat, the insta...
In this episode we're in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, to work on the boat. This marina is famous for being a hub point for blue water sailors preparing to cross the Atlantic and since that's our case we try to get as much things done as we can. We also spend a very good time with our new frie...
At least that's the decision we made after we broke the torque wrench hammering these guys down. It was a bit of a project all told but we got 'er done and were glad we did because we ended up discovering and righting some hardware wrongs once we'd dug into the project. Note to view...
Complete repair documented at Here, we start the rotten stringer repair! I know you guys have been excited to see this. The guys at Perdido Sailor finally busted out some proper (oscillating) tools on our rotten stringers so we could grind away all the fiberglass, dig out the last of the rotten ...
Seems our hack job didn't really pass muster and we have, in the words of Brandon with www.perdidosailor.com "a lot more to do." So, bad news and now a very BIG decision to make. What do you think we should do?
Lookout! The DIY'ers are on the loose. Have grinder, will cut. We made a real mess of things in the bilge, but we gutted the stringers. Tell me, what do you think of our end product? Are we done cutting?
After a meeting with our carpenter friend on the boat, we have some new ideas about the interior design.

Prepping our boat for the fiberglass job took a lot of cleaning, a lot of a plastic and a lot of tape, cut mostly by my teeth! Pretty cool to see her all ready for surgery, though. Lookout rot! Here we come!
It seems the boys at the shipyard like to pick on the DIY'ers. But, we can take a few light hits. We'll probably need their help along the way when it comes time to disassemble and fix all this stuff, so bring it on boys! Many thanks to the www.perdidosailor.com guys for giving us hell.
12 January 2016 is the date for the beginning of our sailing adventure. We leave from Dockan Marina in Malmö in the middle of the winter and so far we have planned to sail to the Canary Islands and after that we'll see where we go next. We have made a lot of preparations on the boat, we install...
We've got a TON of projects coming up kids, so I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what it is that motivates us when we're doing all of this scraping, cleaning, sanding and prepping. Plenty of cruising vids at
If we want to get that boat moving south next year, it's time to get to work. It's stupid what one "little leak" can do to your boat. Rebed Take One (because, yes, this is worthy of a three-part saga). Enjoy! Thanks to my Patrons who make it all possible. Get inspired. Get ...
I had in no way expected my short (1-2 weeks planned) stay in the yard to turn into 10 videos, but here we are. Hopefully, this will be the last video I'll upload with Obelix being stuck up in the hard :)
Link to guide about using west system epoxy to make tanks:
Spurred on by the supportive comments on the previous video (Up on the hard, part 8) I've chosen to paint the area underneath the engine. I'm almost done and I'm glad I did this. Thanks, guys! :)
I solder on the new PL259 connectors and paint (most of) the bottom. As soon as I get the cutlass bearing replaced I'll be back in the water again. Yay!
" ...all the stuff people are interested: the car you drive; the money in the bank; the cell phone you have. I've traded experiences for things. I don't do a lot of things..." Next up in our series of interviews with sailors, commissioned specially for our Patreon supporters, is ...
This is the second in our new series of interviews with sailors we meet on our travels. Except, of course, this one is about Jamie, he of followtheboat and s/y Esper. Camera mounted on a tripod and Liz firing the questions, Jamie talks about his grandfather, flying and rescuing turtles.

Finishing the new exterior teak handrails we made from scratch for Lealea in our friend's workshop. A query on the Albin Vega Yahoo group about replacement handrails reminded us of this video we recorded in 2008 but never published. It is not very slick but it does answer the question.

A conversation with Mark the Rigger in Oriental, North Carolina. Mark replaced all of the standing rigging on our Westsail 42 Paragon. He also helped us to install a new bowsprit, step the mast, tune the rig, rebuild all our winches, and much much more before we pushed off on our 6000 nautical mil...
