We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind. The RYA Start Yachting was our first course. We loved it and wanted more. At that time we had no idea how big the community of boaters is. We met fantastic people on each and every course we did. For the first time since we moved to the UK we felt like we were part of something. The sailing community was welcoming, friendly and so inspiring. We found a lifestyle we knew we wanted for ourselves. We bought Squalo a 1981 Oyster 39”, the day after our Yachtmaster Offshore exam. She ticked so many boxes of things we wanted from a blue water cruiser. But she was neglected, and although we had no experience in boat refit, “surely, it can’t be that difficult.” we thought. So here we are. Putting blood, sweat and at times even tears into our yacht Squalo. Because not only she will be a vessel taking us to the most remote places on earth.. she will become our floating home for many years to come. We are documenting our experiences during the refit and sharing this journey with others.

Merci à @Nautix pour son partenariat et cet A88 formula+ au top! Pour la peinture anti salissure. La préparation de la coque est essentielle. -lavage au jet haute pression -gratter au giratoire les parties qui s'écaillent. Souvent à la flottaison côté sud -ponçage à l'eau 80 dans un premier temps puis plus fin. Le ponçage doit se faire à la cale et à la main. -bien rincer la coque de votre voilier ensuite au jet, puis à l'éponge puis au chiffon. Il faut enlever tout résidu de ponçage, le jet seul ni parvient pas - laisser sécher Et peindre Pour le polish sur la coque. Ce voilier est haut je préfère pour des raisons d'efficacité appliquer le polish au balai télescopique. -une application -un polissage au chiffon doux et sec -une application - un polissage au chiffon - la dernière - Le dernier polissage je le fais avec un échafaudage et une polisseuse électrique sans fil avec la moumoute de finition

We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.
