Why Are There So Many Holes in Our Boat? | Learning the Lines
Removing the seemingly infinite amount of deck hardware and sealing the boat again is a major task when there's this much deck hardware on a small boat. A few years and another country later, we're back at the Desperado project and committed to at least getting her in the water in 2027. F...
DON’T DO THIS With Your Marine Paint | Learning the Lines
I have to say that while I did literally close to everything wrong, the @TotalBoat paint still performed amazingly. If it performs this well when you do everything wrong, it must be a legendary product when you actually follow the instructions! I also went ahead and opened up the boat to prep Desp...

🚤 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...
Last Day??? #sailboatrefit
One thing you can count on is the boatyard changing the plan with no notice whether you're ready or not. We were supposed to splash tomorrow morning, and instead they're putting us in at 6pm with the evening high tide. We still have a lot to do, so that's not welcome news. But first, ...

FUEL FOR THOUGHT: How to Remove, Fix, and Re-install an Auxiliary Fuel Tank (The Hobbit Hole Part 1)
After spending an unexpected and extended amount of time fixing the hull-to-deck join, bulwark, scuppers and caprail, it’s been nice to move back inside Brilliant II to continue the interior refit. Next on the list has been our “Hobbit Hole”, or as it’s known to the folks outside Middle Earth, the...

Sanding or Stripping Antifouling – What’s Better? | Learning the Lines
I hate standard bottom paint! In this video I removed the bottom paint on our 1991 Corsair F27 Trimaran and used two methods. I strictly sanded the main hull, and I used a chemical stripper on the amas. What did I think was the better method? Well, it's complicated. That's kind of like as...
Another Surprise Found While CUTTING UP OUR BOAT | Learning the Lines
Repairing a boat is always full of surprises. All you can hope for is that the job will take about as much time and and about as much work as you expected, but typically it will always take longer, be harder, and be more expensive. In this video, I finish the repair of the aft section of our Corsa...
A BLAST From the PAST Sailing Movie, Including Ian Farrier & John Walton
I recently came across this movie since we're currently refitting a 1991 Corsair F27 and I had to share it with you guys! This is a movie about a group of Corsair F27 owners sailing in the 1989 Newport to Ensenada race, and then cruising Mexico afterwards. This movie highlights the advantages ...
Why Is There A HOLE THE SIZE OF MY HEAD in Our Boat? | Learning the Lines
In this video I continue the repair work on the cracking of the interior laminate of the main hull on our 1991 Corsair F27, Desperado. While prepping for glass, I found out just how nasty a previous "repair" made by the prior owner actually was. For this video the focus is on the center s...

MAJOR ISSUE FOUND – Did We Just Waste $10,000? | Learning the Lines
We jumped on a neglected 1991 Corsair F-27 trimaran sailboat that "needed some TLC," but quickly found out that it had a hidden problem requiring major intervention. Is she too far gone to rebuild? We don't think so, but what do you think? Leave a comment below. -------------------...![WE FINALLY BOUGHT ANOTHER BOAT [Full Tour] Learning the Lines](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/gaC4i0aVeXk/mqdefault.webp)
WE FINALLY BOUGHT ANOTHER BOAT [Full Tour] Learning the Lines
We jumped on a 1991 Corsair F-27 Trimaran that "Needs some TLC." These boats are amazing in so many ways. They're extremely safe, comfortable, and fast performance cruising vessels. These boats will easily do double digit average speeds, and also sail faster than the wind. They'r...
