Delayed with pleasure and learning about rig inspections on Catamarans.
Crossing oceans is not a human right, it costs money. If you cant afford maintenance and running costs you should not do it. Safety is important and rig inspection is a big part of th...
Refit delayed so this is a between refitting episode. Small jobs and daily life while waiting for parts from Sweden. Almost done with everything but four rods are putting everything on hold. It shipped express so should not be that much delayed. Meanwhile ...
This is NOT a DIY or HOW TO refit rigging video. BE FREE is too big and requires professionals and professional tools for this enormous job replacing everything from top to toe. Only original parts from SELDEN are used in this process and replaced by exper...

With a break in the weather, the easing of restrictions and the arrival of the new equipment from Lincoln Electric we've finally managed to get stuck in.

Sometimes sanding drives you crazy and you just have to smash something up to make you feel like you've achieved something.
This week, in our customary battle with ever changing weather conditions, we tackle the inside of the forepeak, the sugar scoop an...
Getting Victoria early in the project was one of the best decisions we have made. There was so much good material packed in that little vessel, and it seems like she just keeps giving every day. From all the beautiful mahogany in her interior, to the bron...
