Three months in the yard and we are finally ready to raise the new rig. Watch as we assemble the shrouds and stays, put our first hi-mod mechanical fitting on the forestay and complete all of the leg-work in order to (finally!) step the mast and raise the...
#71: The 847 Other Boat Projects We Did at the Yard
Three months at the yard documented in detail at https://havewindwilltravel.com/. They say: "If you're going to haul out, be sure to do this and that and this while you're out of the water." Well, trust me. We did. I have spared you for quite some time...

Sail Life – Sailing from Scotland to Denmark part 1 of 2, BHA #3
Join me as I sail my new sailboat (a warrior 38) from Scotland across the North Sea back home to Denmark. This video tells the first part of the story. In this video, we set off from Kirkcudbright, battle seasickness and do a lot of awesome sailing. I thin...
#67: How NOT to Re-Bed a Bow Pulpit
Boat projects galore at https://havewindwilltravel.com. I've shared a few "hows" from our stint at the yard, now it's time for a few "how nots." Watch as we re-bed the bow pulpit not once, but twice (because it was so much fun the first time) for your vi...
#66: Re-bed Windows with Butyl and Magic Bolts
Plenty of boat magic tricks at https://havewindwilltravel.com. Ooooh, says Video Annie. Magic bolts! Watch as we get our window frames blasted and painted and get "real creative" (Brandon term) making custom bolts to fit the stupid binding posts for re-...
Boat #5: 1981 Tartan 37
This is a real treat for you here guys. This is our buddy, Mike (the beekeeper's) boat who was our neighbor at the shipyard, so you get to see some before and after footage from his ongoing restoration of this beautiful Tartan that unfortunately sank at t...
#65: Worst Project of the Re-Fit
See all projects of the re-fit at https://havewindwilltravel.com. You might have thought it was the new wire rigging, or the bottom job, or the (oh yeah) falling-off keel but you'd be wrong. It was the horrendous job of popping our our windows, scraping ...
#64: Have Wind Will Cross the ATLANTIC!
I never would have dreamed three years ago that I would quit the practice, become a sailor and cross an ocean in 2016, but it looks like I will! And, I will be sharing the entire experience on Patreon. Get inspired and get on board for this once-in-a-lif...
#63: Cruising in Pensacola
Enough with the shipyard! I think you kids need a little flashback break and a glimpse of what all this hard work is for and the fantastic cruising grounds we have right here in our home port of Pensacola. Enjoy! (But don't you get lazy ... we're gettin...
#62: No Water In the Bilge!
How will we do it? With a sump box. The sump box rocks. But, we had to seal up the anchor chain locker first (quite the chore) and run all the hoses. Thanks to Brandon with http://www.perdidosailor.com/ also for devising a cool way to re-purpose an old...
#61: Machined Blocks and a Magic Bilge Box
Why is there always a part of the rigging that does not fit? Why?! Watch as we battle more custom machining woes on the tie rod rigging, finish up the bottom job after a minor Annie meltdown, and reveal how we plan to fix the clogged weep hole in our mas...
#59: A Boatyard Break to Sail the Chute
(And a "worm dance" to boot ... do NOT miss that!) We were headed to the shipyard to work on a Sunday but Brandon said it was too pretty not to sail. Watch as we take a well-deserved break from the yard and hop aboard Brandon's Gulf Star 45 to fly the ch...
#54: In Other News … Our Keel’s Falling Off
It kind of was. And, I kind of weeped about it. First follower to catch and comment on the "torch" snafu (trust me, you'll know it when you see it) wins a shout-out in the next video. And, question of the day: WHAT BROKE? Also, many of you asked, so no...
