After building the molds for our new modern sailboat windows aka frameless portlights, it was time to begin making parts from our frameless portlight molds.
We had successfully completed all of the molds of the sailboat windows, and were ready to make our first test piece. Follow along as we build ...
We struggle to replace our portlights which are crazed with age. Getting the portlight lens out is not the problem, getting a replacement is the real issue.

As soon as we finished varnishing our aft stateroom, we jumped right into our next project which was restoring our portlights and cabin sides. A lot has changed in 30 years since Avocet was built, check out how we gave her new life! ⛵✨

After flying our gennaker we decide to go anchoring in Lake Erie once again. We find the perfect anchorage next to Welland Canal in Gravely Bay. We dinghy to the breakwall and walk around. Unfortunately, the rainy fall weather brings some not so nice surprises and forces us to do more boat projects...
Ports, portholes, portlights, windows, whatever you want to call them... our boat has TEN of them. For a 32 foot boat, that's a lot of ports! Subsequently, it's a big job to replace them all and this is our vlog of the process.
We're super happy with the way they're coming out ...
In this vlog we remove our head and holding tank, replace our main bulkhead, and start dry fitting the big ABI bronze portlights in the main salon of Freebie.
Livestream will be Sunday, August 5th, at 2pm EST. See you there!

I only really took the old windows (portlights) out because I needed to paint the outside - and fill in the old holes. However, as we all know, there is no such thing as doing one job on a boat. Every job is always accompanied by at least 5 more. Plus I now have to replace all the lining in the Ve...
Yep, a second one in May. Having received a lovely big box from Seaglaze just after I finished the rudder, and with good weather forecast for the long Bank Holiday weekend, I couldn't resist getting started. Only one problem - the windows are rounded and the cut-outs in the boat are square...M...
A bit wordy this one; sorry about that. But I wanted to get in a 'review and plans' video before I start the windows (Portlights) - I am really excited about that particular project. Hopefully there will be a windows video towards the end of May.
Have a look at John's review of the...

In this video I paint the galley, build part of a vast oil tank (made from wood and epoxy) and brag about my new heater + dehumidifier.
Update ...
I remove the masking tape on the first paint job aboard Athena. I didn't get to install all the new portlights this weekend, but I did get one done. Also, I'll show you a cool doohicky to add a connection to you diesel tank.

This videos shows how to reseal plastic portlights. It will take you through all the way through from the removal and resealing, start to finish. It is a re edit of one of my first videos. Hopefully this version will be better and a bit easier to understand. Comments are welcome.

This is to accompany our blog post on Esper's refit in PSS Boatyard, Satun, Thailand. In this clip Lek is preparing the hull for osmosis treatment, whilst carpenter brothers Ton and Tui remove the portlights from the cabin.
In this video I show how to remove and reseal plastic portlights on a 1980 Endeavor 32 sailboat. Many older (and some newer) boats are equipped with this type of portlight. Leaks can a common problem on these boats. This video should be helpful for anyone needing to reseal their portlights. Comment...
