Just About Sailing May 2018 – Rudder repair review, Projects to get Serenity back in the water
A bit wordy this one; sorry about that. But I wanted to get in a 'review and plans' video before I start the windows (Portlights) - I am really excited about that particular project. Hopefully there will be a windows video towards the end of May. Have a...
Just About Sailing Apr 18 – Fixing the Rudder, Pt 4 Sticking the two halves together, all finished!
Yep. It is actually finished. Normal caveat; this is not an instructional video, just a record of what I actually did. Please comment below if you have any questions or observations. I will have a short review in the next video (which I will do in the ne...
Just About Sailing December 2 2017 – Christmas Special, Musical Extravaganza
Can you remember as a child looking forward to those Christmas Specials on TV? Only to find that they were simply clips of things you'd already seen plus a supposedly 'funny' song from people who really couldn't sing and should have known better. Well, I'm...
Just About Sailing December 1 2017 – fitting a ‘new’ sprayhood not made for my boat, Pt 2
So here we go. Part 2 of this mini-series. The next step is to get the stainless steel bows made up, and try and get the frame and acrylic canvas to fit each other. A couple of links. The value for money tool for punching holes in the canvas was from: ht...
Just About Sailing November 2 2017 – fitting a ‘new’ sprayhood, not made for my boat, Pt 1
OK, so not on my list of things to do soon at all. But a cheap, brand new sprayhood appeared on ebay. Forget that it wasn't made for my boat, was not the right colour, and may not fit - a bargain is a bargain. This is part one...there isn't a part two y...
Just About Sailing November 1 2017 – Basic woodwork, reflections on plans & progress
Things are still moving forward, although the year has shown less progress than I would have liked since the haul out. Still, as long as the progress is in the right direction, that's OK by me - and my enthusiasm for the longer term remains unabated. And ...
Just About Sailing October 1 2017 – Rudder Problems and Window (Portlight) Solutions
Still slow progress, but gradually speeding up a bit. Definitely one step forward and one step backwards here. There is a good solution for the saloon portlights as long as I can find the bits, but the rudder needs some significant work. By the way, her...
Just About Sailing September 2 2017 – Holding tank plans and off with the rudder, almost
Fingers crossed. I saw a great holding tank from Tek Tanks that might just fit into some 'spare' space in the heads compartment. I made up a cardboard mock-up to test the fit. Also, I wanted t check out the rudder to see what might need refurbishing. One ...
Just About Sailing September 1 2017 – Massive fire at the boatyard, water tank and electrics
I am still slightly in shock at the moment to be honest. There was a very big fire at the boatyard which destroyed 8 boats plus a couple of sheds and a workshop. Very sad state of affairs indeed. Plus I have a measure up and a think about how to install...
Just About Sailing – Channel Trailer
It's taken me 18 months to get round to doing a channel trailer. This is just a few short clips of previous videos for new viewers. If you don't like this video - then you certainly won't like the rest. I think this trailer disappears if you subscribe; th...
Just About Sailing June 1 2017 – The journey is over, so what now?
A quick review of the shake down journey round to Faversham from Watchet. A quick look at some of the jobs ahead, and some confusion as to what to do next. Plus a look at Faversham and some lovely old Thames Barges. And if you want to see what they look...
