BARGE BUILD. Two Floods, One Week. Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 220

DESPAIR. Unfortunately big money goes out of the window!Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 218
With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics. We then have a bit of a blow when we get the cost for the CE marking for the boat.

BARGE BUILD. BOAT WORK, it’s getting DEPRESSING! Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 214
This has worked out to be the lowest point on this project.

BARGE BUILD. The Floor is Down. Another milestone done!!! Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 213
YES. This week we finish the floor in the pilot house. Much more difficult than we expected, like everything on the boat.
