How Can a Light Switch Be SO COMPLICATED??!! (MJ Sailing – Episode 381)
**On a boat like this, even installing a LIGHT SWITCH can turn into an all-day project. 😂** After four weeks of working on the boat, we’ve learned a few things — including some lessons about painting that we definitely wish we’d learned sooner! I’ve been spending most of my time outside in the bla...
Painting the Accent Walls On Our Home Built Catamaran (MJ Sailing – Episode 380)
Hello everyone! We've been a little quiet over the past month, but it's been one of those stretches where we've had a dozen different projects happening at once—lots of progress behind the scenes, even if nothing has quite reached the finish line yet. Some of what's been keepin...
The Details That Keep a Boat Dry (MJ Sailing – Episode 379)

Six Layers of Fiberglass and Zero Regrets (MJ Sailing – Episode 372)
Overbuilding the engine bed might seem excessive… until you factor in weight, torque, vibration, and a moving ocean.

One Diesel Engine, One VERY Tight Space!! (MJ Sailing – Episode 371)
Six hundred pounds. Inches of clearance. And absolutely no room for mistakes.

In this episode, we’re faced with one of th...

This is the END!! Of Sanding Season. (MJ Sailing – Episode 368)
This week’s episode is a mix of random projects we’ve been tackling around the boat all summer — the kind that never quite fit into any other video but still show the day-to-day progress of the build.

Building Our Custom Helm Seat – Foam, Glass & Vacuum Bagging (MJ Sailing – Ep 364)
This week, we’re diving into a project that’s been quietly taking shape in the background: building our helm seat from scratch.

Diesel Demands Space, Electric Plays Nice (MJ Sailing – Ep 363)

Making Room for 300 Pounds of Power (MJ Sailing – Ep 362)
