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 fibregla...
Just About Sailing September 3 2019 – A very quick look at the Southampton Boat Show 2019
I prepared this time! I actually wrote out a specific list of things I wanted to find out at the boat show related to forthcoming projects. I questioned a few technical experts from different companies and received a lot of valuable information. And saw th...
Just About Sailing September 2 2019 – Enjoyable, Achievable & Connected Boat DIY, done slowly
A few odd jobs in this episode; Lucy finishing off the 'mock' Holding Tank, me finally gluing up the rest of the headlining, plus fixing a broken TV - but is there anything worth watching? The moral of this short video is that anyone can fix anything and a...
Just About Sailing August 2019 – re-varnishing everything, stage one – removing the old varnish
This is a job I have been putting off for ages. Stripping back all the varnished areas back to bare wood and re-varnishing. To make it fair we have split the work 50:50; I am doing all the external wood and my daughter is just doing the bits inside the boa...

Just About Sailing January 2 2018 – Fixing the Rudder, Pt 1 taking it apart
Not a job I really wanted to do, but it has to be done. As with all my DIY videos - I am not claiming that this is the way you should do something. It is simply the way I did it. If you disagree, of have a better idea, then please leave a comment below,...
Just About Sailing December 1 2017 – fitting a ‘new’ sprayhood not made for my boat, Pt 2
So here we go. Part 2 of this mini-series. The next step is to get the stainless steel bows made up, and try and get the frame and acrylic canvas to fit each other. A couple of links. The value for money tool for punching holes in the canvas was from: ht...
Just About Sailing – Channel Trailer
It's taken me 18 months to get round to doing a channel trailer. This is just a few short clips of previous videos for new viewers. If you don't like this video - then you certainly won't like the rest. I think this trailer disappears if you subscribe; th...
