If you are refitting a sailboat, you need to build this!
One of the most valuable things I have done while my boat has been out of the water is building a set of stairs to get on and off of her. It has made life so much easier. In this video I go through the process of how I built them and give my thoughts on the process. See the Renegade Sailing play...

Bending Plywood for my DIY sailboat restoration ⛵

Ep 93 A Whirlwind of Cruising – Saying Farewell to the Greek Aegean Sea
Wow! What to say. We sailed to so many cool places in a relatively short period of time that it all seemed to blend into one. The winds filled our sails and the sun shone.

Gutting the head part 1
It is finally time to get started on the big remodel! First step gutting the head.

Ep 92 No Hot Water! Plus Bilge Pump Going Off?
Out hot water heater (cholorifier) rots out, flooding the bilge with water. The bad part about this is that there were 750 liters of water in the holding tank that could continue siphoning.
