Could you really live on a sailboat for just $20,000? In this episode, we’re building the perfect budget cruiser — the legendary Catalina 30 — and transforming it into a self-sufficient liveaboard for under twenty grand. We’re adding 800 watts of solar power, a 300 amp-hour lithium battery, fixing all the classic Catalina leaks, and finding used sails that still have plenty of miles left in them. It’s the affordable dream setup that proves you don’t need a million dollars to live on the water — just a bit of passion and a lot of butyl tape. Join me as I break down what to buy, what to fix first, and how to make a classic Catalina 30 into the perfect off-grid tiny home on the sea. The mission here at Lady K Sailing has always been to get more people sailing, more easily — and I couldn’t do it without the patrons who make these videos possible.

Kayleen talks a bit about working with us to create her customized Zeballos skis, which include a custom marquetry portrait of her sailboat in her favourite colour, teal. So, who is Kayleen? We met under quite unusual circumstances. Our buddy and team-rider Ty Turner introduced us to Kayleen as his new girlfriend while he was hospitalized by a serious skydiving accident. Since then we have gotten to know her as an incredibly patient problem-solver who leads with her heart. Her focus is never deterred by a challenge, and she isn't afraid to get dirt under her fingernails. We sometimes describe her as a "Jill of all trades." She is dedicated to learning how to maintain and repair their sailboat. Professionally she is a commercial diver and a published author. Recently she has taken to sharing some of her experiences on the Youtube channel All About Spray. Check out their videos for real-talk about boat life and some beautiful footage of adventures at sea aboard "Footloose." Links below. Lastly, perhaps her most impressive attribute (we admit our bias) is that Kayleen is living the dream as a snow multi-disciplinarian! She switches with ease between skiing, snowboarding and splitboarding. We get pretty fired up thinking about all the amazing places she will take her Kindreds. Big thanks again to Ivan and Grayden from VisInc for taking meticulous care of the video craft!!
