Closing up the holes in our boat | Episode 179
Recently we sailed to the boatyard to get hauled out here in Curacao. It’s been 2 years since we had Saoirse out of the water, so we got to work right away looking into things that needed to be fixed. But o...
This week we are shifting gears and cleaning the boat up while we wait for more materials and we finally get to unpack our shipping container from the factory in South Africa!

Last week we hauled out our boat for what we were hoping to be a simple paint job and a dash of maintenance thrown in. Saoirse is a 1971 pearson 35 with a drop centerboard, and one of the things we had on the list to fix was the leak coming from our cente...
Repairing a boat is always full of surprises. All you can hope for is that the job will take about as much time and and about as much work as you expected, but typically it will always take longer, be harder, and be more expensive.
In this video, I finis...
This week we are in an all out push to be ready to move. That's right, we are getting kicked out of the shed. Come along with us as we do everything we can to get the boat dried in on short notice.

#177 In this episode we ask ourselves is our boat worth saving after finding a scary discovery during our haul out.
Two years ago we had an emergency haul out of our boat. This time we actually scheduled a haul out in order to paint the bottom of our boa...

We are setting sail to a place we REALLY DONT want to go. But it’s something we have to do. We pick up anchor in Santa Cruz Curacao and head a 16 nm sail to Pescaderia, to Royal Marine Boatyard. There is a strong countercurrent, gusty winds, but its a be...
I recently came across this movie since we're currently refitting a 1991 Corsair F27 and I had to share it with you guys!
This is a movie about a group of Corsair F27 owners sailing in the 1989 Newport to Ensenada race, and then cruising Mexico afterwards...
This week we are marching right along to the next step in our repair. We need stub keels for our new sacrificial keels to glue to one they come from South Africa. We hope you all enjoy this little detour on the road to solid hulls!
Special thanks to Dave ...
In this video I continue the repair work on the cracking of the interior laminate of the main hull on our 1991 Corsair F27, Desperado. While prepping for glass, I found out just how nasty a previous "repair" made by the prior owner actually was.
For this ...
We have a lot going on in this week's video! From rudders to making a part we are always moving! It's very exciting to see progress happening and even though we come across setbacks we are staying positive and continue to move forward. What do you think ab...
The power of Curacao is beautiful. Sailing against the wind and waves to the most beautiful spot in Curacao makes it well worth it.
big love,

This week we are switching gears so that we keep the ball rolling. We decided to change the color of the boat! This is a bit scary, but also very exciting! We are excited to share this process with all of you and we hope that you love the outcome as much a...
In this video I start the major repair of the interior laminate of the main hull on our new to us 1991 Corsair F27, Desperado. I think you might be as surprised as I was at the extent of the damage.

This week we are making a mold of the hull so that we can start making parts to fill in those massive holes! We are very excited to show you all this because, well, its really exciting to be one step closer to splashing back in the water!

Whenever there is another boat on the horizon its always a race, well at least in our heads it is. But today we are leaving Fuik Baai and racing our friends on Black Moon to our anchorage 24 nautical miles away. We are putting up our 150 genoa in hopes to ...
We jumped on a neglected 1991 Corsair F-27 trimaran sailboat that "needed some TLC," but quickly found out that it had a hidden problem requiring major intervention.
Is she too far gone to rebuild? We don't think so, but what do you think?
Leave a commen...

We rarely get to use our electric motor to motor sail. We have learned to have a great amount of patience while sailing, that we just can't get there fast. Pretty much ever. Sometimes we are happy to sit behind the sails and let the wind take us at its spe...
We jumped on a 1991 Corsair F-27 Trimaran that "Needs some TLC." These boats are amazing in so many ways. They're extremely safe, comfortable, and fast performance cruising vessels. These boats will easily do double digit average speeds, and also sail fast...
This week we are moving into the shed, get new crew, talk more with the yard, and we get word from Leopard in South Africa. This is a very exciting episode because it is the start of making history here at Thunderbolt Marine and the next step in bringing t...
When we bought a boat we knew it was going to be work. But we didn't know really how much work. We are definitely not on vacation. Boat life balance can be a challenge. We visiting the most jaw dropping places, but sometimes we feel we only get to see a gl...
