We just completed one of the biggest transformations we’ve ever taken on… a full synthetic teak deck refit.
What started as a simple idea quickly turned into a full-on project—removing deck hardware, stripping everything back, prepping the surface, and completely rebuilding the deck.
For this job,...
Welcome back to Sailing UV ⛵🔥
(aka… the greatest sailing show on Earth)
If you're new here — I’m Jonathan, that’s Violet 🐶 (115 lbs of chaos), and we’re restoring this boat while working full-time and trying to build a life that actually makes sense.
This week is a little more real life than ...

We’ve taken on something BIG…. A Big pile of poo!!!
After years of restoring and living aboard our sailing yacht *Ocean Melody*, life has brought us back to Wales — and instead of slowing down… we’ve done the opposite.
This is our new off-grid cottage project.
It’s remote, it’s rough, it’s comple...
This week on Escapade, we finally tackled a job we’ve known was coming.
Part of our saloon has had water damage and rotten wood for a while — and although it would have been easy to patch over it, we knew that wasn’t good enough. If we’re preparing this boat for the Pacific, we want it solid.
So w...
Refitting this old sailboat feels a little like therapy… if therapy involved heat waves, glue guns from the 90s, and a boat heeling like it wants to buck me off. Today I’m tackling more interior fixes: templating new shelves, building out bathroom storage, dealing with rogue cabinet doors, and addin...
We’re heading up the ICW for the very first time! 🚤 From Stuart to Fort Pierce, it’s a whole new kind of adventure for us aboard Escapade. Along the way, we’re showing off a few small upgrades that are making a huge difference — including our new electric table leg that transforms our salon into a c...
In this video, we’re taking on a whole new boat project, as we start to build custom carbon fiber tables for our catamaran.
Since our old rear cockpit table was another warranty fail, and the upstairs one is less than impressive, we decided to do some boat DIY and make new tables. Instead of teak o...
Jase is back in the US, which means it’s upgrade time! After months of waiting, we can finally dive into all the projects we’ve been holding off on — because let’s be honest, there’s no better place for Amazon boxes and endless options than America.
This week, Jase tackles a full list of long-awaite...
⛵️ Episode 13: Tower in a Box Install Part 1
In this episode, we explore a bit of Shelter Island and embark on our most difficult DIY project ever: the Tower in a Box. The simple, easy to assemble solar arch we thought we’d complete in 2 days turned into something else. Our sugar scoop, center cockp...
In this episode we reminisce about our first year living aboard, the endless projects, and the mysterious leak that had our bilges flooded for a few months. Finally, we rip the band-aid and quit our jobs as the final step in preparation for taking off from Monterey and starting our life as full-time...

Building a Catamaran can be a lot of thinking and not a lot of building. To design and install a rudder system isn't quite as easy as you think. A rudder is a simple piece of equipment that creates resistance to steer the boat, it could be as simple as a piece of wood, a barn door or a piece of...
As we prepare our sailboat for the upcoming cruising season into the Mediterranean, we are making our cruising and liveaboard lifestyle much easier and safer. We are installing a new alternator into our boat, setting up and installing Starlink satellite internet and doing some work on our windlass. ...
While completing the refit of our v berth cabin, we decided to dig into more boat projects onboard our sailboat. We did a refit of our galley, making minor adjustments to modernize our tiny home.
We added a backsplash, replaced our sink, faucet, and repurposed wood from our vberth and a few other ...
We're progressing in the refit of our vberth in our monohull sailboat. We are re-upholstering the foam mattress and have put up the epoxied wooden walls that will serve as our additional cabin storage. After the last finishing touches, we reveal how our berth remodel turns out!
NEW VIDEOS EV...
We continue with the restoring our sailboat vberth after tearing it down. We're putting saw to wood after mapping out how the additional storage walls will go up on the remodel of this cabin space. We get to painting and working with epoxy resin over the wood and hoping for the best! Stay tune...
We're diving into a vberth remodel on our 33 year old Hunter Sailboat but not without some hiccups along the way. With some learning and using the tools we have onboard, we make it work! We get into the woodworking to refit the cabin to construct a smaller bed, create more usable storage while ...
We take on a big project in our 33 year old Hunter Sailboat remodelling one of our cabins. We take apart our v berth cabin to maximize storage, create a quarter berth and repurpose the original materials to make this redesign budget friendly while striving to maintain the original interior style of ...
I guess now we can add working with Corian to our ever-growing list of boat refit skills
🤪
If you've never used it before (and we hadn't), Corian is composed of acrylic resin and natural minerals.
It's harder than a lot of other materials we'd worked with (think of a cross betw...
