Final Haul Out Repairs – Another week?! We didn’t see this! (Ep.63) Sailing ARGO

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:30:00 +0000

This is the final episode in our haul-out series – the last push to get ARGO ready for the water again.

After all the sanding, antifouling and maintenance work in Episode 2, we tackle some of the bigger structural jobs that have been waiting their turn.

First up – fixing soft spots in the deck. It’s a long, awkward job in extremely tight spaces, but absolutely worth it. The result is a stronger, more solid deck and the peace of mind that ARGO is in great shape.

We also complete the diesel tank repairs, including installing new fuel hoses so everything is running clean and reliable. With the engines sorted and the tanks repaired, ARGO is now in great shape mechanically as well.

But… it wouldn’t be a haul out without a surprise.

An unexpected job pops up (as they always do), extending our time on the hard by another week. Boats, hey! While we’re there, Jason makes the most of it and services the clutches, so everything is in top shape and ready for the season ahead.

Along the way we tick off a number of other smaller jobs that always seem to appear when the boat is out of the water.

After weeks of work, ARGO is now clean, strong and ready to sail again – and we can’t wait to get back out there and kick off sailing Season 3.

Thanks for watching.
