Last year we built this 12M landing craft for export to Democratic Republic of Congo. The job took longer than expected due to the Covid aftermath but the vessel was finally sent as sea cargo. Here it is cruising Congo waters.

We are enclosing and extending our wheelhouse before winter for protect and so we can move the mainsheet from the top of the aft cabin to above the wheelhouse (better safety and a better sheeting angle). This is the second part of the fabric enclosure and the next prototype frame. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

*READ CAPTION* We were travelling through country SA when we drove past a dead kangaroo (not unusual for this part of the world), it looked like it had been hit fairly recently, given the bright red blood on the road, so we turned around and checked the pouch. To our surprise, there was a (what seemed to be) uninjured, but likely in shock, baby Joey in the pouch. This is the first Joey we’ve come across so we weren’t entirely sure what to do, we thought it was best to wrap him in a towel (to act like a warm pouch) and find someone to help care for him. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any phone reception to contact anyone, so we drove 45 minutes to a visitor centre in the nearest town. Thankfully the lovely ladies knew exactly who to call and within 30 minutes we had taken the baby Joey to his new home. The wildlife carer who took in this new orphan had 4 other babies that she was caring for, each one needing fed 4 times per day with special marsupial milk and each having their own home made pouch. Joeys can be the size of a mandarin or a small puppy so make sure to have a good look within the pouch. If the Joey is attached to the tit don’t pull it off as it can damage it’s jaw, instead remove the tit. Moral of the story is, if you see a dead kangaroo on the road please please (safely) stop and check the pouch as you might find a tiny orphan looking for its new home.
