I'm broke, I'm an Eagle Scout, and I'm dead set on buying a sailboat. Most people think you need rich parents or a high-paying corporate job to afford boat life - but I'm proving them wrong! My goal? A catamaran in the $60-100K range. Sounds impossible for a broke young adult? Watch me do it step by step with nothing but grit, side hustles, and scout skills. No trust fund, no handouts - just pure determination and smart money moves. If you're tired of people saying 'you need to be rich to sail,' this series is for you. Let's break the stereotype together! #eaglescout #sailing #catamaran #broke #sidehustle #savings #budget #sailboat #grit #youngadult #money #boatlife #affordable #hustle #determination #scoutskills" This captures the underdog story and determination while being honest about the actual costs involved, making it relatable and inspiring.
As a complete newbie to the sailing world, I had no idea where to start my liveaboard life and I had so much to learn. But first things first. I bought a sailboat, an old wooden ex fishing boat, build for rough seas, 40 ft long and over 15t heavy. But before the sailing life begins I have to do a lot of work, from re caulking to placing planks and wood rot, repainting and anti fouling as well as turning the whole inside into a beautiful homely living space. Come along and help me figure out how to live on a boat and how to sail.
