Fixing up a 53 year oldt to live on water. I've been documenting my journey of moving under the water for almost a decade. it. Started out building a tiny houseboat in my backyard. And it eventually grew to learning how to sail while rebuilding and living on a classic sailing sloop. teaching myself what I needed to know to not only navigate the waters but navigate fixing. This old vessel up season 2 of another time. Another place is all about this sailboat. Fixing it from a point where no one would ever look at it, to making it a home. $5000 is what I spent on this boat. Blood sweat tears is what I put into it... this is my sailing boat. That I named after my parents, the Barbra Williams... #boat #waterlife #summer #fun #perseverance

HELEN is the first in a remarkable triptych of late 1930s 3rd International Rule 8-Metres drawn by experienced designer to the Rule and Olympic gold medal winning helmsman Sir Thomas Glen-Coats; built on the Clyde in consecutive years at the Mylne family's Bute Slip Dock Co. yard, where Glen-Coats was a director and major backer. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/765/HELEN They were among the last full keel 8mRs built in Britain and represent the pinnacle of truly classic 8-Metre design. At the end of her initial class-racing days, conversion by her original builder to an able, and of course fast, cruiser-racer kept HELEN very much alive, so that when the 8-Metre Class revival began in the early 2000s, she was a natural subject for restoration and application of the subtle authenticity and performance treatments allowed under the Sira Cup World Championship Rules for boats built before 1960. HELEN is very well equipped and optimised to be competitive at the next major 8mR championship and simply to be enjoyed as a supremely elegant and fleet of foot day/ weekend racer-cruiser.
