🚤 What does a day in the life of a boat builder actually look like?
This week on Sailing UV, you're coming along for a full day—from waking up on our 57-foot ketch project boat with Violet, making coffee aboard, heading into the boatyard, installing electronics, diesel heaters, joystick contro...
In this episode, we reveal our newest water toy — the Sublue Navbow underwater scooter.
Since the ICW is looking a little… murky, we decided the perfect place to put this thing to the test is one of Florida’s crystal-clear freshwater springs. So we packed up, hit the road, and took the Navbow out f...
Join us as we sail up the ICW and explore some of Florida’s most charming coastal towns — Cocoa Village, Titusville, and New Smyrna Beach. We soak in the sunshine, discover new spots, and even spot manatees for the very first time (a total dream moment!).
But later in our journey, things take a tur...
In this episode, we dive into some serious boat maintenance with Total Boat products, including anti-fouling the hull, polishing above the waterline, and varnishing wood. But it’s not just about the work — we also face some classic island time challenges picking up our package in Trinidad. Watch as ...
Champagne Sailing Mallorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain, Pina Colada's, tasting the local cuisine, an exciting boat upgrade for Escapade and our last summer moments sailing The Mediterranean!

We're back in Greece, in the boat yard and we have one very important boat job still left to do while our boat is on the dry dock...And that's our antifoul paint job! We've partnered up with AkzoNobel to use their popular brand, International yacht paint - micron 350 antifoul. We'...
We explore Trogir, one of the oldest medieval town's in Europe and we're feeling super anxious when the weather starts to get hairy, after seeing the madness...
This week we left Port Washington and headed South to begin staging for our trip to the Bahamas. We stopped in foggy Lewes, Delaware, to wait for weather before heading down to Norfolk, Virginia, where we will stay on anchor until there is a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream.
Check out our ...
Final test of our fortitude! The Westerleaky is at it again with another major leak we cannot ignore. In this episode we solve it. We tackled it as a team and got it fixed and tested in two days. Garrett's back constantly gives him issues so that's where I come in ;)
This is the RTV gask...
It's been about three years since the timber trims were removed from our 44-year-old boat's interior, and destroyed in the process.
Now they're finally back!!
This video contains heaps of tips and tricks for working with teak.
Things like:
* Making patterns
* Cutting angles
* Che...
Sooner or later we will be sipping on that margarita tropical style! It might not be today but we are closer than we were yesterday. Every day adds to the sum of building Rediviva and here's a glimpse into a few ;)
Thanks for watching everyone!

p.s. if you’re near the SF Bay Area and ...
As anyone with a boat knows only too well, it's not all beer and skittles - and in our case there's the large remainder of a refit looming 🤪
Although we've definitely prioritised fun over boat work throughout the end of 2021 and start of 2022, there have still been a few more jobs co...
With the gas disconnected and the stove out, this was the time for us to address the galley area around the Force 10 cooktop and oven.
We wanted to replace the old, dark, peeling teak veneer with something lighter, brighter and easier to keep clean.
Looking at home and commercial kitchens, we got ...
Noë has joined us for 2 weeks from Pennsylvania. He worked all 14 days, even when we were ready for a break he motivated us to push. I, personally learned so much from him as he could take the time to explain things to me whereas Garrett is always rushed to move on to the next thing. He discussed in...
The Indian Ocean is big. It's daunting. It can throw wicked storms at you out of nowhere. But in order to sail around the world, we had to sail cross it.
The first step in that journey was sailing from Phuket, Thailand over to Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Amazingly enough, at just over 1,000nm ...
Up to this point, most of our time in Thailand had been spent in boatyards. And that's not exactly how we pictured spending our time in SE Asia. So with the boatwork (finally!) finished, we set out to do a more thorough exploration of Phi Phi Island.
This time our friend Carlanna joined us t...
We'd been having a pretty rough time lately, with a bad haul-out, followed by hitting a reef which necessitated another haul-out only a few weeks later. So when my sister wanted to plan a trip to Thailand, we were absolutely thrilled to have a good excuse to leave the boatyard and explore Phuk...
There's a saying that if a sailor claims to have never run aground, they're either on their first sail or lying. We're certainly not on our first sail, but we've been fortunate that all previous encounters with the sea floor have been with soft mud or sand. That was about to ch...
Our arrival into Thailand didn't go so well but with the holidays coming up and a visit from my brother on the horizon, we knew that Thailand would turn itself around!
To celebrate Christmas, we managed to once again meet up with Carlos from 22 South, this time at Phi Phi Island. Poor Carlos ...
It had to happen sometime... Thus far, all our haul outs had gone smoothly and easily. But this experience hauling out at PSS Shipyard in Satun, Thailand was our worst one yet.
We managed to fix the leaking through-hull that was the reason for the haul out easily enough. But several errors from ...
Having guests visit is always a blast, especially when those guests are so interested in the realities of cruising life. Our friends Denitsa and Niki actually VOLUNTEERED (well... one of them volunteered the other) to help out with boat projects. I couldn't pass up an offer like that, so tog...
Disclaimer... ships in camera are much closer than they appear! In order to continue our Southeast Asia adventures, we had to make our way up the notorious Malacca Straits. This meant we were once again tangling with the big ships, with the added complication of lots of small fishing boats as wel...
After 100 days in Indonesia, it was time to finally leave the country. But in order to do that, we had to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world... the Singapore Straits!
We'd spent days watching a constant stream of ships and knew a good plan was going to be vital for a smooth ...
Sailing across the equator is special moment. It's even more special when you cross with friends who have never done it before, aka Pollywogs!
We had become Shellbacks (sailors who've crossed the equator) on our way to the Galapagos way back in 2016. So it was our honor and duty to prop...
