#49: D.I.Y. = Do It (at the) Yard
Okay, you all called it. It's time to haul out. "Uncle!" we cried. But, we were proud of the demo we accomplished DIY style. Now it's time to take that same attitude to the shipyard and do this job with the professionals at www.perdidosailor.com so we learn how to do it right...
#48: Bad News, Big Decision
Seems our hack job didn't really pass muster and we have, in the words of Brandon with www.perdidosailor.com "a lot more to do." So, bad news and now a very BIG decision to make. What do you think we should do?
#47: We Can Dig It!
Lookout! The DIY'ers are on the loose. Have grinder, will cut. We made a real mess of things in the bilge, but we gutted the stringers. Tell me, what do you think of our end product?

Experimental Wiring of our Electric Motor — Sailing Uma [Step 19]

Hope you enjoy this episode as there are a lot of information and progress to be shared. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or ...
#46: Can You Dig It?
Mmm-hmmm, we make "hazmat" look good. First real dig into our rotten stringers. You'll be shocked to see how low we can go! Then we suit up solid to start buzzing into the fiberglass. Here we go! And, only $106 to go on our Give the Gift of Cruising campaign. Get on board!
#45: The Tunnel of Doom
Prepping our boat for the fiberglass job took a lot of cleaning, a lot of a plastic and a lot of tape, cut mostly by my teeth! Pretty cool to see her all ready for surgery, though. Lookout rot! Here we come!

Plumbing a Sailboat with PVC — Sailing Uma [Step 18]

#43: Removing the Shrouds: How Many Lawyers Does it Take?
Two apparently! Removing these shrouds required some hefty plumbing wrenches and a few bad lawyers jokes but we finally got them off! Enjoy!
#42: Taking Some Hits at the Yard
It seems the boys at the shipyard like to pick on the DIY'ers. But, we can take a few light hits. We'll probably need their help along the way when it comes time to disassemble and fix all this stuff, so bring it on boys! Many thanks to the www.perdidosailor.com guys for giving us hell.
#41: The Cause of our Rotten Stringers
Complete rotten stringer repair documented in vlogs at Here, we found out why our stringers rotted. You want to know? Mud clogging the weep hole in our mast step which allowed water to sit constantly in the step and eventually seep down into the stringers because they were not glassed on top. V...
#40: Missing the Mast Already
It's sad to see our mast lying lonely on her side at the shipyard. She loves to be standing tall, with lots of folks "hanging around." But I sleep soundly knowing she's got sunny, silky dreams to keep her warm. More sailboat silking at
#39: Pulling the Mast
Watch us run around like chipmunks in time-lapse mode as we pull the mast. Pretty interesting to see her become completely detached and lifted away. Also, enjoy the Video Breakdown by Yours Truly!
#38: Here Comes the Crane!
Just a few last detachments (just a few, I swear!). This mast pull prep is no effin joke. But all that's left now are the rods holding her up. Here comes the crane!![We built our own ELECTRIC MOTOR (Electro-Beke, part 1) — Sailing Uma [Step 17]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/_L1xmG5Kndw/mqdefault.webp)

#37: Here Comes the Boom!
You guys watch closely, because we're counting on you to help us put all of this crap back together. Preparing the boat to pull the mast turned into one heap of a mess, but don't let it get you down! Getting that stringer fixed will get us one step closer to sailing south! Follow along ...
#35: Time to Replace the Old (B)rods
The only really bad thing about rod rigging is that she doesn't show her age, but we knew, at 30+ years, our original rods were getting up there. If we wanted to sail south next season, a re-rig was in high order. Let the debate begin ... rod versus wire.![DIY welding on a Sailboat — Sailing Uma [Step 16]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/tCsMy81AGKM/mqdefault.webp)
DIY welding on a Sailboat — Sailing Uma [Step 16]
As we mentioned so many times, being in this Boatyard have its benefits. You know what they say " one man's trash is another man's treasure." We got to salvage some good shiny metals and had to learn how to weld to put it all together... We also started a game : Where's P...
#33: Havana Daydreaming
