Huge geodes and The Great Gretsch Sound exhibit are some of the things we saw on our day trip. Continuing to relax a bit from DIY projects, we do some routine maintenance chores. Bringing ...
ASMR. No talking, purely sailing. In this episode of Sailing Sitka, we do something a little difference. We lift hook in Mazatlan and hit the seas sailing north towards Guaymas... all while not talking. We thought we would give the ASMR trend a shot as the sound of the ocean can be relaxing enough. ...
Sailing with sea turtles in Mexico. Why is there so many? In this episode of sailing sitka, we continue our sail north towards Guaymas, but first stopping in Mazatlan to re-provision. It can be tough to get diesel and water in Mexico but we have our ways...
Starting our 700nm journey north. In this episode, we say our goodbyes to La Cruz, a port that has been our home for 3 long months while Sitka was under repair. Now we have lifted anchor and set sail for our 700NM journey north towards Guaymas, Mexico. There we will be hauling the boat out of the wa...
No longer stuck at anchor. In this weeks episode of Sailing Sitka, we test our newly installed prop by going out for a motor in Banderas Bay. After 3 months of repairs, it feels good to get Sitka moving again and in an operational state. @sailingavocet captures some awesome drone shots of us on the ...
In this weeks episode, we make our way across the Sea of Cortez, from La Paz straight to Mazatlan. What we thought was going to be "smooth sailing" turned into a bumpier ride than anticipated. Nothing some fresh fish and dolphins can't fix!
RIG FAILURE OFFSHORE. In this episode we enjoy the best qualities of sailing offshore. Dolphins, tuna, watching movies and warm weather...suddenly interrupted by a drastic emergency with the rig within seconds. Sailing offshore will be the best times of your life and the worst, sometimes only minute...
We’ve made it to Seisia and go ashore in Peanut, to the Loyalty Beach Caravan Park, to pick up our spinnaker sock., finally!
We measure and mark out the fabric for the mizzen stack pack. There isn’t enough room on Nutshell to do it easily so we use a table on the beach instead and use an ingenious ...
We’re up on the hard at the Rosshaven Marine boatyard. It’s time to sort the new sails out.
Magnus begins by putting the new staysail on the Reefurl furler which we installed quite some time ago in 35 knot winds!
Meanwhile Wendy is busy painting the plinth for the new toilet to go in later on.
Nu...
Description
Nutshell gets hauled out of the water and is given a good clean.
It’s time to dig deep to find our painting supplies in the starboard aft cabin, ‘the shed’.
Magnus goes about checking the through hull and finds that the one in the gallery has corroded away and is only begin attached t...
The mizzen mast has been tandem project as the planking has progressed. Alix chipped away at it between other important tasks, and now it's finally finished! Of course, the hounds and hardware need to be installed, but this big, beautiful, repurposed piece of Victoria's past and Arabella...
The gaps in Arabella's planking are getting much smaller... and soon they will be no more. We are pushing hard to close up the hull with Carolyn's help before she moves on.
The shutter planks are a pretty exciting part of the build. There are only two of them, and they need to be perfec...
The planking work is moving right along, but unfortunately Jack and Wes have to head home. We discuss the work that we got done as a team, then focus on the mizzen mast, which is also nearing completion.
Alix has been working on spot repairs with graving pieces, as well as shaping the base of the m...
We are looking ahead to getting back to planking Arabella this summer. In order to do that, we are going to want all hands on deck, so we got a little help coming in. The first of the crew has arrived and she will be helping us for the next month or more.
Carolyn has a good amount of experience in...
There is a lot of work going into restoring Victoria's old mast to be our mizzen mast. We already set up a sort of lathe and jig to cut kerfs into the mast so that we can then bring it down to a six inch diameter. To do that, I used a combination of a power planer and a hand plane to get down...
Getting Victoria early in the project was one of the best decisions we have made. There was so much good material packed in that little vessel, and it seems like she just keeps giving every day. From all the beautiful mahogany in her interior, to the bronze fittings and hardware she was decked out ...
With road trips, brewery visits and beer tasting over for a while, we get back to all things boaty.
We fix the mizzen sail and make a new cover for the hatch, all thanks to Greg for the donation of the sail.
We have a good friend on board, Simone. We head out to the Whitsunday Islands for a good e...
With the main mast step finished, it's time to make the mizzen mast step. This one is significantly smaller as it will hold a significantly smaller mast and take less of a load. It feels like we're installing a sculpture as integral part of the boat! It's very satisfying to be making...
The bronze floors are done! It's a great feeling complete them and be able to move on to even more tasks that get us closer to launch.
Steve keeps on with fitting the main's mast step, and Alix gets to work on figuring out the reuse of Victoria's spars. You may remember from previous ...
This is an FTB Extra to accompany Vlog 059 (
We give you the low-down on how much our sails costs, and chat to Phil about the sail-making process and how he came up with our sail designs.
As always this episode has been brought to you by the kind youtube viewers who support us through:
Patreon - ...
We got new sails! We put them up and have a quick chat with Phil from Zoom sails about the process of making them. For the first time we've published two videos concurrently because the other episode is an FTB Extra, and it's all about our sails...and how much they cost! Find the accompany...
We install our Lofrans Tigres windlass but you know for every positive achievement there's a whole bunch of dark clouds hanging over us. The outboard is buggered, the toilet is leaking and now we've cooked our batteries. Will we ever get to leave for Indonesia?
As always this episode has ...
How to choose a windlass. Or, what windlass should we buy to replace our mangled mess at the front of the boat? There's some technical boat maintenance stuff in this episode but there's also some rather splendid drone footage of the beautiful tropical island that is Langakwi. Make the most...
Imagine if this windlass malfunction happened on a remote Indonesian coast?
In this episode Jamie reaches the end of his tether when the anchor windlass decides it has had enough. In order to diagnose the problem it has to be removed from the deck, and that's where the issues begin. We take yo...
