Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 8
Looks like the insulation of the v-berth will turn out to be a nine part series. Yes, I'm close to being done! Yay! In this episode, I have the pleasure of sanding and applying the first couple of coats of varnish. I hope all of this work will pay off when...
Sail Life – New mattress for the vberth, part 1
The old mattress in the v-berth aboard Obelix is the original mattress from 1973... yup, it's 42 years old! It's worn out and not at all comfortable to sleep on. It's got to go before I move aboard the boat :) Sailrite video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 7
I finally get to test fit the mahogany slats for the ceiling aboard Obelix! Yay! :) Looks pretty swanky if you ask me ;) And it'll keep me nice and warm once I move aboard the boat and finally become a full-time liveaboard :)

Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 2
Sanding sucks! I finish sanding the inside of the hull in preparation for putting up stringers and wooden slats (called ceiling aboard a boat). Thanks to the awesome comments on my previous video I've learned that pine is not the best species of wood for t...
Sail Life – Sailboat update #17
A quick update on some of the projects aboard. I do some prep work for the stuff I'll acturally be doing aboard the boat next weekend. And I get to enjoy cold water thanks to my Isotherm "convert your icebox into a fridge" kit. TamTam sailing, blog: http:...
