Steering Cable FAILURE at the WORST TIME | SailAway 301

DIY major maintenance on two YANMAR 4JH4-TE 75hp’s – Part 1 Episode 40 #yachtrefit
We have two Yanmar 4JH4-TE 75hp engines. With regular maintenance, these engines should comfortably last 10,000hrs and ours have 5,000. Engine maintenance is difficult on a boat. Space is tight, temperatures are often unbearable, and unless you have confidence and experience working on engines, it’s...
Preparing To Sail In PIRATE Territory | SailAway 300
ACTS of PIRACY have been reported for YEARS near VENEZUELA. We sail for TRINIDAD in a FEW DAYS, only a few miles from the VENEZUELAN COAST. But all we can do for now is prepare like usual and try to plan the safest route possible. Is it a realistic concern? We don't know and we hope we don'...
Winter preparation – climate controlled storage and shop lights. Episode 39 #refit
We weren't planning to be here this long. The seasons are changing quickly and with it comes cold temperatures and short days. Everything we own is in two storage containers that are little more than metal boxes. These will certainly have plenty of condensation during the cold months and that c...
It took four months to replace two hatches! Episode 38. #refit
Since day one back in July of 2022, we have had several hatches that leaked. While in Guatemala, we re-bedded two of the three hatches in the salon and galley, but that's as far as we got. We mitigated the problem by keeping a bucket or bowl under the leaky spots, with the intention to re-bed t...

DIY lithium batteries can save you thousands! Part 1 Episode 37 #catamaran #refit
One of the biggest and costliest project in many yacht refits is new batteries. These days, most battery changes are by people moving from standard AGMs to Lithium, or making the change to a higher native voltage from 12v to 24v or 48v. We are making the change to a native 48v system and increasing ...

Racing the change of season to prep the mast for paint. Episode 36 #refit
We removed every piece of hardware from the mast and boom and discovered a lot of peeled and bubbling paint. That can only mean one thing...corrosion. We wanted a better look at the aluminum, so we decided to completely strip and repaint both mast and boom. Weeks of sanding did a pretty good job rem...
Here’s To HOPIN’ Our Boat’s Still FLOATIN’! | SailAway 297

Badly aged caulk is causing leaks! Episode 35 #boatrefit
Months after hauling our 54' catamaran out of the water to begin the refit, we finally did something that will stay on the boat. Many projects are in process, but that's been the name of the game for a long time. We were both itching to move this refit in the opposite direction. It's ...

See what happens WITHOUT Tef-Gel on your rigging hardware. Episode 34 #catamaranrefit
The mast, boom, and davits we removed shortly after we hauled ROAM out of the water. They have been sitting on foam blocks since then waiting to reach the top of the priority list. Our rigging makeover is a multi step process that starts now. The first step is to remove every piece of hardware so th...

HURRICANE SEASON on a SAILBOAT is a tricky thing, even AFTER you've reached the relative safety of GRENADA. Especially after four previous seasons here, even a couple months in the same spot feels like a LONG time. But we've figured out a few tricks to make it all work, keep us sane, AND...
