On that note, we wanted to share with you our top ten newbie c...
When Dreams Become a Reality!
We can’t believe this day has finally arrived! We have been working tirelessly on our 2001 Hunter for the past 11 months with a dream and a goal of traveling the world with her. Ok, maybe not the world right off the bat, but to the Bahamas for starters. There were day...
We're diving into a vberth remodel on our 33 year old Hunter Sailboat but not without some hiccups along the way. With some learning and using the tools we have onboard, we make it work! We get into the woodworking to refit the cabin to construct a smaller bed, create more usable storage while ...
A Shuck’n Good Time!
It has been a dream of our to get the opportunity to go to the Annapolis boat show in the Chesapeake. Josh and I have worked boat shows for years in our old industries and it was nice to finally be apart of the crowd and just take it all in. The show was amazing. To be able to ...
We take on a big project in our 33 year old Hunter Sailboat remodelling one of our cabins. We take apart our v berth cabin to maximize storage, create a quarter berth and repurpose the original materials to make this redesign budget friendly while striving to maintain the original interior style of ...
A Hole Lot of Fun!
More boat yoga anyone? Now that we are “experts” in fiberglass it’s time to tackle the anchor locker and weakly mounted windlass. The mounting plate and fiberglass is so cracked we are worried that one day when we are pulling the anchor up it might rip right off the boat complete...
The day has finally arrived. We are scheduled to get back in the water. Just a few minor projects to complete... Wax the hull, install the prop, paint the bottom of the keel and stand plates, then wash the boat and were done. Minor stuff.
It was very surreal to see the all the stands knocked down u...
I never thought dealing with a hole in the boat could be so satisfying.
This week was a true test of DIY with your spouse. We had to coordinate two separate jobs while trying to talk to each other through the hull of the boat and let me tell you that proved to be a challenge. But we did it, and we...
Now that the fiberglass rebuild work has been completed on the rudder it’s time to start getting the rest of the hull back in shape.
We have 685 sq ft of surface to prep and paint before Hurricane Ian comes knocking on our door step. The blisters are almost repaired and smoothed out as to not cause...
To say that we have a lot of work ahead of us is an understatement!
Now that we are in the thick of things we are getting a real idea of what needs to be done on Honu. It's not just about scraping and painting the bottom. The game is the same just the players have changed a bit. Nothing like ...
If morale of the crew suffers then the risk of mutiny is real. This must, of course, be avoided at all costs so whenever I find myself in this situation I quickly employ the most foolproof tactic I know. I give them snow cones until crew morale improves.

Projects continue as Ben installs inspection plates on the diesel tank, repairs rotten wood in the aft cabin, and generally works towards preparing the boat for new voyages. It's been a long, hot Summer of non-stop boat work and if he doesn't get to go sailing soon, he may need therapy ins...
Ben heads back down to Green Cove Springs, FL for another round of boat work. In this video, Molly's forward cabin gets the boards put back up on the walls, the splintered cap rail is repaired using an epoxy wood putty, and a rotten bulkhead in the galley is beefed up to be stronger than when i...
To keep the momentum going on our sailboat refit we bring certain things home with us so that we can keep working on the boat even through we're not at the boat. In this video I repair a damaged floor board, remove the old anti-fouling from our propeller, prepare the propeller shaft for reinsta...

In the last 2 years my boat tried to sink twice! No one wants a sinking boat! In this video we tackle what is the most common cause of a sailboat sinking, through hull fittings! What can we do to repair our through hulls, what can be done to replace or even remove them?
Luckily each time my boat ...
We get the bad news that our old windlass motor can’t be repaired AND we’re being kicked out of the harbor by the police! What do we do? A quick 3-day windlass replacement! Come see how we come up with a solution, replacing our old Nilsson with a manual windlass and a nice install, despite cold, ...

This week on part 3 of the head rebuild: I made templates and cut out bulkheads and started assembling the sink cabinet after pulling the old through hulls on my 1966 Spencer 42' Sloop.
I then used the Rockler Circle cutting jig with the Makita Router again to cut out the counter for the sink...
The sailboat refit continues as we struggle with removing and re-installing a laminate countertop with contact cement. We also put the finishing touches on the main salon, bringing the new settee cushions out and and installing a brand new table.

To make the radiused cabinet face for the head in my 1966 Spencer 42' Sloop, I kerf cut 18mm Marine Grade Okume plywood, 19 cuts, almost through to the last ply.
This allows the wood to bend then be filled with thickened epoxy, I used West Systems 105/206/406 for the glue up.
This is the ca...

How well do the cheap diesel bus heaters work? How do you install one? Watch how we install a forced air diesel heater onboard our sailboat, Makara. We come up with a good location and mounting bracket and discuss exhaust line runs, then it’s time for some warm, dry heat in the cold, rainy Pacifi...
We tackle the mystery and maze of wiring and plumbing behind the wall and under the floor aboard our sailboat, Makara. We move and rewire the batteries, run new wiring for the windlass, tackle some plumbing mysteries and finally get our new laminate countertop installed in the galley!
