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 – Rebedding deck-hull bolts using butyl tape
A couple of the bolts in my deck-hull joint have started leaking after 40+ years. Luckily cleaning and rebedding them is very easy! I use simple ethanol to dissolve the old butyl tape and rebed using new butyl tape. Good for another 40 years ;) Blog pos...

Sail Life – Insulating the v-berth, part 4
I finally get to epoxy in the stringers in my v-berth. Soon I'll have a nice and comfortable v-berth to sleep in when I move aboard the boat. A little bit of insulation should go a long way in making life aboard more comfortable this coming winter. A big t...

Sail Life – Sailboat update #18
This video was shot Sunday morning (before getting to the "real" work I had planned that day). I wanted to hold off on using power tools until nobody in the marina was at sleep anymore. The video gives a quick glimpse into some upcoming projects/tasks aboa...

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...

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:...
