How To Go Sailing In The Middle Of A Boat Refit | Boat Tour & Refit Documentary Part 10
Talk about chaining yourself to the dock! After nine months, 18 days, 10 hours and 20 minutes of our boat being immobile (thanks to the scale of the refit), we finally managed to take her sailing. It was a massive push to get her out and in a condition that was temporarily liveable, without throwin...
How To Go Stainless In The Galley | Boat Refit Documentary Part 9
With the gas disconnected and the stove out, this was the time for us to address the galley area around the Force 10 cooktop and oven.

For those following our refit progress in real-time, here's the full story of the cockpit refit. It's essentially about how to achieve a spray-paint-like finish on a boat without actually spray-painting. The products we used were: ✔️ Altex Epoxy High-Build Surfacer - ✔️ Awlgrip 545 Ep...

A part of the boat refit we never intended to do is finally complete - we now have a new old cockpit in our 43-year-old Kelly Peterson 44! 🙌🙌🙌 This four-minute snapshot of the past four weeks work shows how the cockpit went back together after major gelcoat repairs, filling and fairing, and painting...
How to stay married during a boat refit | Boat Refit Documentary Part 5
Our latest real-time Vlog covers the accidental painting of our cockpit 🤪 It's accidental because it wasn't part of the original refit plan, but well, like everything else so far, we discovered parts of what we'd already worked on internally were of course connected to parts of the co...
⚠️ 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...
Last of the Laminex – Kicking Boat Refit Goals!! 💃🕺🏻🍾🎆🙌🙌🙌
Hallelujah!!!! We finally glued the last piece of Laminex in place this week 🙌🙌🙌 Strictly speaking it's not the very last piece to go in (because we have a few sliding doors to rebuild and re-clad), but it's the last of the re-cladding of integral furniture and bulkheads. We started this...
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
Teak-Tok – The boat refit continues…
Never mind Tik Tok, we're all about Teak-Tok right now! Either the real deal (for a fibreglass boat we seem to have an inordinate amount of teak on board!), or the imitation teak Laminex Julian is painstakingly re-cladding all the interior cabinetry with. This is only a fraction of what's...
How to get started on bringing a boat back to its former glory (Boat Refit Documentary – Part 2
They say the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. This "one-step-at-a-time" philosophy definitely rings true for anyone working on a boat refit. As if we didn't know already, documenting our yacht restoration journey and watching the footage back, has reinforced what ...
Deck Work
We've been taking advantage of the latest weather window to carry on chasing the leaks. This means it's been all about deck work on the good ship Brilliant II in the last 2 weeks. But while the interior may have stalled, the work topsides will be well worth it in the end. Like all boat wo...

We're moving in the right direction 🙌 In the last couple of weeks, teak veneer has been re-installed on the major bulkheads, broken trims have been fixed, and the first coat of varnish has been applied to all the fixed timbers onboard. Now to keep on keeping calm, and varnish on!! 🤣
Keep Calm and Varnish On!
Another milestone moment reached in the interior reno - three coats of varnish on all the removable timber parts and some more leaks chased down in the rain.
The Twelve Days of Christmas Boat Work 🎄⛵️🤣
🎶 T'was the night before Christmas and the sanding had stopped, The boat was in pieces tied up at the dock; The crew were exhausted, teak dust in their beer, So a break was declared for some good Christmas cheer; Fine festive greetings to all you and yours, As we end 2020 with a round of appl...
Boat work – the new pilates!
Things we have learned in weeks 3-4 of the interior refit: 🤪 Boat work is like pilates - you need to be some kind of contortionist 🥵 Attempting a refit at the start of the Australian summer is batshit crazy 🤯 Attempting a refit while juggling work, school and any kind of life is also batshit crazy ...
