We did a major refit on our sailboat, and one of the key jobs was replacing the cutlass bearings — the parts that support the propeller shafts and keep vibrations low when the props spin. To do this, we hauled the boat out of the water, dropped the rudders, pulled the shafts, and used a heat gun to loosen the glue holding the old bearings in place. Once they slid out, we pressed in brand-new bearings, reinstalled everything, and got ready to launch again! It’s one of those behind-the-scenes jobs that makes a huge difference in how smooth and reliable the boat feels underway. Follow along for more sailboat refit projects, cruising life, and ocean adventures!
We recently sailed the Corinth Canal with our catamaran! But before we crossed this iconic Canal, we first went up to see it from above. You can see here the drone recording of us looking over the Canal. Some interesting facts about the Canal of Corinth: • Opened in 1893 • Length: 6.3 km • Width max: 24 meters • Depth max: 8 meters • Cliffs: about 90 meters high • 11,000 ships pass through annually • 6 bridges cross the canal, at a height of 52 meters above the water
