All Systems Go! How To Keep A Boat Running During A Refit | Boat Refit Documentary Part 16
Boats! If you don't use them regularly they start to break. Well, maybe the boat itself doesn't break but the onboard systems sure don't like a hiatus. This is one of the reasons (aside from the fact we'd be sailing all the time if we could) we've been using our boat regul...

Back To Boat Work | Boat Refit Documentary Part 14
As anyone with a boat knows only too well, it's not all beer and skittles - and in our case there's the large remainder of a refit looming 🤪 Although we've definitely prioritised fun over boat work throughout the end of 2021 and start of 2022, there have still been a few more jobs co...

How To Finish A Mid-Refit Sail In Style | Boat Refit Documentary Part 12
They say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' and perhaps that's true of sailing too. Although there is still a lot of work to be done on our 43-year-old Kelly Peterson 44, getting out on her again after so long on the dock has been a poignant lesson in gratitude during these challe...
GONE SAILING! How To Remind Yourself What The Hard Work Is For | Boat Refit Documentary Part 11
Being able to take Brilliant II sailing again - despite still being in the middle of a refit - has been a game-changer for our sanity 🤪😅 It's allowed us to fire up all the systems again (nav equipment / water-maker, etc, etc) after an almost 10 month break, and test out the new modifications w...
How To Go Sailing In The Middle Of A Boat Refit | Boat Tour & Refit Documentary Part 10
Talk about chaining yourself to the dock! After nine months, 18 days, 10 hours and 20 minutes of our boat being immobile (thanks to the scale of the refit), we finally managed to take her sailing. It was a massive push to get her out and in a condition that was temporarily liveable, without throwin...
How To Go Stainless In The Galley | Boat Refit Documentary Part 9
With the gas disconnected and the stove out, this was the time for us to address the galley area around the Force 10 cooktop and oven.

For those following our refit progress in real-time, here's the full story of the cockpit refit. It's essentially about how to achieve a spray-paint-like finish on a boat without actually spray-painting. The products we used were: ✔️ Altex Epoxy High-Build Surfacer - ✔️ Awlgrip 545 Ep...

How to stay married during a boat refit | Boat Refit Documentary Part 5
Our latest real-time Vlog covers the accidental painting of our cockpit 🤪 It's accidental because it wasn't part of the original refit plan, but well, like everything else so far, we discovered parts of what we'd already worked on internally were of course connected to parts of the co...
⚠️ 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...
How to Beat the Boat Refit Blues | Boat Refit Documentary – Part 4
Calculate the time you think something is going to take you on a boat, then double it, and add some 🤪 That's definitely been the case with this stage of our refit, which has seemed like a Groundhog Day of fitting Laminex to interior cabinetry and bringing exterior timbers back from the dead 🤯 S...
Going Boat Refit Crazy 🤪
I think I'm seeing woodwork in my sleep! Meanwhile Julian has learned to make patterns and laminate on autopilot. In short, we're going boat refit crazy, but the end of the (hopefully) longest, and trickiest stage is almost in sight. Enjoy! 💙 @shazatsea
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...
