#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.perdidos...
#41: The Cause of our Rotten Stringers
Complete rotten stringer repair documented in vlogs at https://havewindwilltravel.com. 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 event...
#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 https://havewindw...
#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/maxresdefault.webp)
We built our own ELECTRIC MOTOR (Electro-Beke, part 1) — Sailing Uma [Step 17]
Yep, we are finally talking about that electric motor. We have so much to share and we are excited to share it all, from testing it, to putting it together to even removing and changing certain parts! Hope you enjoy this episode and are excited for more ...
#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 close...
#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/maxresdefault.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 ...
#33: Havana Daydreaming
We've got a TON of projects coming up kids, so I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what it is that motivates us when we're doing all of this scraping, cleaning, sanding and prepping. Plenty of cruising vids at https://havewindwilltravel.com/.
#31: The Blues Bring Bad News
A rotten discovery in the bilge brings us the blues during Blue Angles weekend. Find out what tragedy just made our project list a helluva lot longer!![Rigging, Sails & Sound Decision — Sailing Uma [Step 15]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/DC-853M6jl8/maxresdefault.webp)
Rigging, Sails & Sound Decision — Sailing Uma [Step 15]
When we put the mast back up on Uma a while ago, we noticed that the rigging shop cut our new forestay and backstay to the wrong length, it was time to get that issue resolved before we go out for a perfect monday fun-day Sail ! ------------------------...
#27: Where Are You Going?
Cuba! I'm kidding (sort of). Maybe. There and 1,000 other places. I'll share our (very vague) plans but we're less than a year out and--believe me--that's not near enough time. (But it never is.) A big shout-out to just a few of the other wanderlusts...![It’s A-Fish-Yall ! — Sailing Uma [Step 14]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/9P7c3BpW6_E/maxresdefault.webp)
