Sailing vessel Tapatya This is the story of SV Tapatya, a self-built, Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of our adventures as I

Life update: It has been 7 months now since we have been to PAPILLON. This makes both of us very home sick and sad. We took a while getting this video made as life has thrown us lots of curve balls a

How long does it actually take to accomplish (1) task on sailboat? This video we showcase just that. ONE job, and we filmed it as a side X side view point. Ashley working & Travis working TOGETHER. Is it pretty? NOPE! Glamorous? HECK NO. It is however, REALITY. What jobs do you find to be quick and easy on your sailboat? We'd love to hear your stories!

You guys have found the next video...and it is many MORE sailboat projects continued...does the list ever end? Feels like it does not...but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also...this video is a shining example of why the sailing community is WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. Where else in the world can you meet perfectly good strangers one day and the next they are drinking beers and helping you with the NASTY job of grinding fiberglass and painting YOUR boat in the heat! LARGE shout out to Alex & Caleb on this video! Cheers! Got no beard: https://youtube.com/@thelongestjohns?si=UV7vX-AJML8EO9Y-

Reminiscent of "wax on, wax off"! This video is straight to the point, of repair work. We dive in and Travis tackles the largest hole yet in our DECK! This hole was brought to us by a very leaky cleat...said leak originated for us while underway from Costa Rica to Mexico. We are used to the grind by now, and this job is no exception! Grind, epoxy, lay glass and repeat. Ashley jumps in on the ever growing project of the rub rail...and also begins stripping, sanding and varnishing (next episode) the cockpit table! Going back in time a bit, the rubrail removal was necessary to access the bolts for the chainplates...but instead of putting it all back together as is, we are taking the time to clean, polish, sand and make sure it all goes back on smoothly and looks better than ever! It is approx. 60' in teak, 50' in stainless, 140 screw holes in the boat, and more for the stainless! Roll your sleeves up and lets go!

Ahoy friend! In this episode we give a glimpse into what its like to be a cruiser in Tapachula, MEXICO. We've met so many amazing people while being there and visited a few cool spots...too many to count, but we are starting this episode differently than our usual, let us know if you enjoy it and if you would like to have content like it thrown into the mix every once and a while!
