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.

A challenging campsite. Please hit the subscribe button! The side of a decent mountain in knee-deep snow. We made it work though with a little engineering. Snow platforms shovelled and packed level worked perfectly! Kevin and I decided to winter camp while we ice-fished for Lake Trout in Alberta's Rocky Mountains.
This 1995 Bayliner 2859 Express Classic is a nice clean example with some nice options. Powered with a 7.4 litre Mercruiser with a Bravo 2 Sterndrive. It can sleep 6 with a spacious aft cabin and v-berth and table that converts to a double. It has everything you need for a weekend away, presurised hot and cold water, fridge, stove, 140 watt solar panel with Victron battery monitor and diesel forced air heat. Comes with a ridged hull inflatable with a 15hp motor. A Lowrance plotter sounder and Radar will help you get there and once there the windlass makes anchoring a breeze.
