Starting Forward Heads Compartment (Window & Prep). Countdown day 81/100 #BoatRefit #DIY #Challenge

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 18:24:38 +0000

We have 81 days left of our 100 day to launch challenge. We have been working on the forward heads compartment. First window frames, then removing stuff and cleaning.

We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP.

When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc). More details on our blog at https://sustainablesailing.net/
