Can We Vacuum Bag Our Own Carbon Fiber? Sailboat DIY Project!
Watch Part 1, where we shaped the foam core in preparation for the vacuum infusion process: Following on from the last video, we're continuing to build custom carbon fiber tables for our sailing home. It's a project we started because the old rear cockpit table was yet another Leopard Ca...
Making Roam water-tight once again. Ep.50 #refit
Is a boat really a boat if it can't float? Months ago we removed every thru-hull in order to replace them with new seacocks and skin fittings, but we didn't reuse every one. We have decided to relocate things like the water maker, and we're also removing the generator. Then there were...
Just About Sailing December 2020 – New windlass install, Pt 3 – Deck modification and strengthening
This one is all about the modifications I needed to make to the deck for the new windlass. Serenity's foredeck is not cored and although the fibreglass layup is quite strong, it still needed a plate on the top (to raise the windlass) as well as a plywood core below. Sounds easy...well that'...

Just About Sailing February 2020 – Coating the Washboards with Epoxy and Varnish
Lots of people have suggested that I should try a combination of clear epoxy and varnish on the washboards. Epoxy is very waterproof and hard-wearing, but not very resistant to UV, hence the need to coat it with varnish. Lots of help from my daughter who will be in charge of varnishing the interior....
Just About Sailing October 2019 – fixing a foot long crack in the hull of my boat
This video covers the structural repair of a rather large crack/split/gash in the hull of Serenity. It happened two years ago just before I took her out of the water...and it was 100% my fault. Still, who doesn't like the chance for a bit of extra fibreglass work?
HURRICANE BOAT GRIND BEGINS! – Episode 35
After sailing all the way to Rio Dulce, in Guatemala, this Hurricane damaged catamaran finally gets hauled out a year and a half after Irma, to get repaired properly once a for all. The boys waste no time getting covered in fibreglass dust, and have a huge week grinding and tearing the boat apart. ...
Just About Sailing September 2019 – DIY Holding Tank Pt3 – Thru hull & Seacock install
This video went on a bit longer than anticipated, but so did the install process. First a bit of an update, then a detailed look at fitting the new Forespar Series 93 2" combined thru-hull and seacock for the holding tank waste outlet. This is how I did it - I am not suggesting it is how you s...
47. New Primer on Deck | Learning the Lines – DIY Sailing
Happy Fourth of July! In this vlog we do a lot of prep work right up until we put the first couple layers of primer on our sailboat deck. With regards to the core in the questionable large area. It really did feel very dry, and when we compared the core from the questionable area to the mush that ...
Just About Sailing November 1 2017 – Basic woodwork, reflections on plans & progress
Things are still moving forward, although the year has shown less progress than I would have liked since the haul out. Still, as long as the progress is in the right direction, that's OK by me - and my enthusiasm for the longer term remains unabated. And I am so proud of my new temporary washb...
Just About Sailing September 2 2017 – Holding tank plans and off with the rudder, almost
Fingers crossed. I saw a great holding tank from Tek Tanks that might just fit into some 'spare' space in the heads compartment. I made up a cardboard mock-up to test the fit. Also, I wanted t check out the rudder to see what might need refurbishing. One thing lead to another and I starte...
Just About Sailing August 2 2017 – Removing thru-hulls and glassing over the resulting holes
Slightly longer video than usual. But I wanted to try and get the whole thing into one episode. I needed to remove two redundant thru-hulls, both either on or under the waterline, and then fill the resulting holes. So important to get it right. I tried following the instructions on the EpoxyWorks w...

Esper Refit 21 – Awlcraft Top Coat
This week it was all about the application of our Awlcraft Snow White on the decks. There was just one problem: our painter had gone AWOL, holding up the entire project.
