WAY COOL! How to custom-build a portable fridge/freezer into a cruising yacht
What do you do when there’s no ‘off-the-shelf solution to a problem on your boat? Well, if you’re anything like us, you design and build one yourself! For years, we’ve been dragging around a portable Waeco/Dometic fridge-freezer as an extension to our built-in refrigeration that helps us significa...
Brilliant Sailing! 11+ Knots on a 45-year-old Kelly Peterson 44
Some sails are worth the wait, and this was one of them. Ironically, it was a passage we’d been dreading. If you’re cruising down the Queensland coast, the leg from Magnetic Island south to the Whitsundays faces practically dead southeast – straight into the prevailing tradewinds. In the summer ...
CAY-TRIPPING! Sailing into a Wildlife Documentary on the Great Barrier Reef
The two destinations in this video – Sudbury Cay and Michaelmas Cay – are the reason we set sail up the North Queensland Coast in the middle of a La Niña summer. Our goal was to see if instead of the howling southeasters that have prevailed over the last of Australia’s three consecutive La Niña ye...
Fridge Benefits – How to totally transform a 45-year-old galley | Boat Refit Documentary Part 21
Want to know how to make – or re-make – boat fridge lids? Need to replace a galley countertop? Looking to modernise the interior of an old sailing yacht? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’ then this video is for you! The galley on our 1978 Peterson 44, ‘Brilliant II’ hasn’t strayed f...
Adventure Is Out There | Sailing to a piece of paradise on Australia’s east coast
Sixteen years ago, we dropped anchor in West Bay at Middle Percy Island on Australia’s east coast and left a piece of memorabilia behind. We were far from alone. This anchorage is a sailing Mecca, visited by hundreds of cruising sailors each year, all of whom contribute in some way to the décor ...
Days Like These – Boat Life, Champagne Sailing & Island Adventures
Maybe it was all the more sweet because we'd downed tools from our boat refit for a while. Or maybe it really was one of those 'one in 10' sails that explain why we're out there in the first place. Whatever the reason, this is what a near-perfect 24 hours of boat life looks lik...
See the Sparkle!! How to add Corian to a Yacht Interior | Boat Refit Documentary Part 19
I guess now we can add working with Corian to our ever-growing list of boat refit skills 🤪 If you've never used it before (and we hadn't), Corian is composed of acrylic resin and natural minerals. It's harder than a lot of other materials we'd worked with (think of a cross betw...
Knock On Wood! How To Retro-Fit Timber Trims On A Production Yacht | Boat Refit Documentary Part 17
It's been about three years since the timber trims were removed from our 44-year-old boat's interior, and destroyed in the process. Now they're finally back!! This video contains heaps of tips and tricks for working with teak. Things like: * Making patterns * Cutting angles * Che...
⚠️ 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...
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
