Make or Break | La Niña Summer Sailing to an Abandoned Leper Colony on the Great Barrier Reef

The second part of our La Niña summer sailing series sees us riding the end of a strong wind warning to Fantome Island – an abandoned Leper Colony on the Great Barrier Reef. En route stuff breaks (or should I say, “ship happens”), we undertake a jury rig, talk safety at sea (from the ‘safety’ of ou...

Gone With the Wind | Sailing North Queensland in a La Niña Summer

This summer we've sailed Australia’s North and Far North Queensland coasts. For context, this is traditionally not the time of year to take this route. It’s hot and wet, this is cyclone season, and to really liven things up, this was the third consecutive La Niña year, where on Australia’s ...

See the Sparkle!! How to add Corian to a Yacht Interior | Boat Refit Documentary Part 19

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...

Welcome To Our New Old Cockpit!

A part of the boat refit we never intended to do is finally complete - we now have a new old cockpit in our 43-year-old Kelly Peterson 44! 🙌🙌🙌 This four-minute snapshot of the past four weeks work shows how the cockpit went back together after major gelcoat repairs, filling and fairing, and painting...

⚠️ Painting in Progress ⚠️

This three-minute video doesn't really do justice to the phenomenal amount of work that's gone into re-painting our cockpit. Every process you see here is filmed just once, but in reality it takes place multiple times. Over the last few weeks we've done: ✔️ Multiple coats of two-pa...

Onwards and Upwards!

In the last couple of weeks we've moved onwards and upwards.... literally! Onwards because we're no longer working on that never-ending Laminex 🕺🏻💃🎆🙌🍾 Upwards because we seem to have ended up in the cockpit, which is now totally stripped back and in the throws of its own refit 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️ W...

Last of the Laminex – Kicking Boat Refit Goals!! 💃🕺🏻🍾🎆🙌🙌🙌

Hallelujah!!!! We finally glued the last piece of Laminex in place this week 🙌🙌🙌 Strictly speaking it's not the very last piece to go in (because we have a few sliding doors to rebuild and re-clad), but it's the last of the re-cladding of integral furniture and bulkheads. We started this...

Teak-Tok – The boat refit continues…

Never mind Tik Tok, we're all about Teak-Tok right now! Either the real deal (for a fibreglass boat we seem to have an inordinate amount of teak on board!), or the imitation teak Laminex Julian is painstakingly re-cladding all the interior cabinetry with. This is only a fraction of what's...

How to get started on bringing a boat back to its former glory (Boat Refit Documentary – Part 2

They say the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. This "one-step-at-a-time" philosophy definitely rings true for anyone working on a boat refit. As if we didn't know already, documenting our yacht restoration journey and watching the footage back, has reinforced what ...
