Preparing for the crossing to the Solomon Islands π΄ β but nature doesnβt always cooperate! Cyclones are approaching, and finding a good weather window is getting tricky. While checking the boat, we discovered a small crack under the screecher pulley. A closer look revealed more damage than expected, so itβs time for some serious fiberglass repairs before we set sail. π Watch the full adventure in Clay Pot Fire Cooked Feast (Ep22) on Once Upon A Reef. π Subscribe for more reef stories and island adventures. π Support the journey on Patreon! #OnceUponAReef #PapuaNewGuinea #IslandAdventure #OceanAdventure #PacificIslands #BoatLife #SailingLife #TropicalVibes #OffGridLiving #NatureLovers #SurvivalSkills #BoatMaintenance #DIYRepairs #HiddenParadise #AdventureTravel
This fine example of the Iconic Island runner has lived in the dry stack at Lions Bay Marina. Howe Sound Marine has been servicing the 5.7 GXi volvo engine which has only 718 hours on it and has a remote racor fuel filter. The canvas has the custom drop curtain back and is in great shape. The full length swim grid has a custom teak top, with a swim ladder attached to it. Boarding is a breeze with the step tread on the gunwhale and the fold down steps on both sides. The cockpit deck is self bailing and comes with a raw water wash down. There is 30 amp shore power with AC outlets. It has the sink-storage cabinet upgrade. There is upholstery for the engine hatch and removeable transom corner seats. The helm seat is a really cool wrap around bolster which converts to a supported seat. There is an Icom VHF radio and Furuno GPS. There is a big Vberth with lots of storage underneath and a marine toilet. Ask about transferrable moorage at Lions Bay.
Weatherly was designed specifically for single-handed sailing and achieved the highest speed possible from a 65-foot boat. To meet these ambitious targets, this deep-draught boat has a displacement of just eighteen tonnes β equivalent to that of a Volvo 60! No option was left unexplored in the effort to keep the boat as lightweight as possible, and she was built in West epoxy with carbon spars, 3DL sails and a carbon rudder.
