The countdown has begun. After two years of rebuilding an abandoned boat we bought for one euro… the clock is now ticking. In just six months, we need to make Seabird seaworthy, ready to touch the ocean for the first time. There’s still so much to do, from plumbing and electrics to sails and safety gear. Every hour, every decision counts. Will we make it… or are we completely deluding ourselves? One thing’s certain... the race to launch Seabird has begun. 🌊 *Join our journey* as we restore Seabird from an abandoned sailboat to a home on the sea!

The aft deck’s fold-down platforms extend the beam to 7,6m and provide room for relaxing and water sports, with easy access to toys, a fridge, and an ice maker. Below deck, the yacht provides a master suite, a VIP stateroom, and a crew cabin, all finished to Sunreef’s luxury standards. Advanced technology includes the Sunreef WETRA Intelligent Automation System. Developed in-house, it collects information from multiple systems, ensuring an easy overview and centralized management of the yacht’s operations. Future WETRA innovations will include AI-optimized preventive maintenance.

Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built.

We’re not mechanics — just two sailors trying to keep our boat running! In this video, we take on the challenge of changing the oil and impeller on our Yanmar 4JH4E engine for the first time. The video is long and slow because we wanted to show the real process — from our clumsy moments to small victories (yes, even tightening a screw took effort 😅). If you’ve ever thought, “I could never service my own engine,” this video is for you.

⛵️In this video, we document the keel removal process on a beautiful Najad 405 sailing yacht. After our team successfully removed the mast, our trusted partner company took on the next major step — removing the 4-ton keel.

In this episode, I repair the tilt function on my 2019 Torqeedo 1103C electric outboard. Multiple welds on the tilt lever failed making the outboard difficult to lock in the tilted (up) position. The lever would either fail to lock or get jammed when lowering the outboard. I ordered the replacement part direct from Torqeedo for $21 USD. Installation was easy and only took a few minutes. This is the first issue I've had with my Torqeedo outboard after 5 seasons of sailing.   Subscribe and follow @ColoradoSailing on YouTube for more original sailing videos, gear, boat maintenance, sailing tips and travel content as I sail my Precision 18 trailer sailer and Precision 16 sailing dinghy in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota. #sailing #sailingdinghy #usedboat #boatrepair #Torqeedo

We've tested, learned, and challenged almost every idea we've had about life at sea. And somewhere between the engine rooms, stabilizers, and wind generators, we discovered what really matters for our next chapter. This isn’t just about finding a boat, it’s about choosing the right tool for the adventure ahead. One strong enough for icy fjords, self-sufficient enough for remote destinations, and (hopefully) small enough that we can still handle it just the two of us. ___________________________ WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Things We're Most Curious About... GETTING OFF-GRID Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. TALKING TO STRANGERS People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.

This week aboard Moor R & R, Episode 12 we’re back in Airlie Beach to restock the boat, give her a good clean, and pick up a few essentials (including our usual stop at Bunnings, of course!). Next, we haul out at Shute Harbour for some maintenance — but it’s definitely not the kind of haul out we’re used to! Boat life throws us another little challenge when our tender battery goes flat, sending us back to Airlie Beach for a quick fix. Once everything’s sorted, it’s time to get back to the good stuff — exploring! We spend a few incredible days at South Molle Island, hiking and biking the 14 km of trails with absolutely stunning views. Then we find our own little piece of paradise — a quiet bay all to ourselves — before heading to Lindeman Island, where we stumble across something truly special: two turtles mating right beside the boat. 🐢💙 It’s been a week full of surprises, challenges, and magical moments — just another chapter in our sailing adventure aboard Moor R & R! Come along for the highs and lows of life at sea – the joy of community, the challenge of sailing, and all the fun we get up too !!! If you’d like to support our journey and get behind-the-scenes content, early access, and more, you can join our crew and love to welcome you aboard.

Our island-hopping journey through the Canary Islands continues as we set sail from Tenerife to La Gomera. The crossing takes us through one of the well-known acceleration zones where the trade winds funnel between the islands — giving us a fun, fast sail before reaching the calm wind shelter of La Gomera. We drop anchor in Laguna de Santiago, our first glimpse of this unique island, before discovering a hidden bay that truly takes our breath away. Towering cliffs, lava-carved caves, and a canyon that leads to stunning views — this place feels untouched and full of magic. Along the way, we meet a couple living off-grid in an old fishing bay, a reminder of how many ways there are to live a meaningful life connected to nature. We are a sailing couple living full-time on our Hallberg Rassy Rasmus, documenting our life on the water from the Mediterranean to Morocco and now through the Canary Islands. Untie the Lines is about living simply, following curiosity, and finding beauty in the small, authentic moments of life at sea. Join us as we continue our sailing adventure through the Canary Islands — discovering hidden gems, new connections, and the freedom of life between islands.

Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water.

This video shows the complete process of building our composite hatches, from the 3D printed custom molds to the final lamination. We demonstrate how we created two separate 3D printed molds—one for the hatch lid and one for the gutter/frame—and walk through the entire build sequence: mold preparation, gel coating, fiberglass lamination, and post-processing. This method provides a practical solution for creating strong, complex composite parts with precise geometry without expensive tooling.

Winter Sailing Tips for Diehards - https://www.practical-sailor.com/boat-maintenance/winter-sailing-tips-for-diehards The sailing world is buzzing — Catalina Yachts has halted production, Tartan Yachts has new owners, and one man now controls some of America’s most legendary sailboat brands. In this video, we take a deep dive into Michael Reardon, founder and CEO of Daedalus Yachts, the man behind the recent wave of acquisitions that brought Catalina Yachts, Tartan Yachts, Freedom Yachts, and True North under one roof. We’ll look at Reardon’s background in carbon-fiber yacht building, his bold claims of reviving U.S. manufacturing, and the growing concern across the sailing community about what’s really happening behind factory doors in Florida and Ohio. Are these classic brands being reborn with new technology and investment — or are we witnessing the unraveling of American yachtbuilding as we know it?

It’s been one month since we officially became liveaboard sailors! In this episode, we share what life is really like living full-time aboard our 1990 Beneteau Oceanis 430 — Astrid the Wombat. From daily boat life to fixing leaks and hosting our first guests, this video gives an honest look into the challenges and rewards of living aboard a sailboat. We start the week by tackling one of the many boat maintenance jobs — resealing the front hatch on our sailboat’s forward locker. A leaky hatch is no fun when you live on the water, so we roll up our sleeves and get to work, learning more about DIY sailboat maintenance as we go. But it’s not all work and no play! We also welcome our first visitors aboard Astrid, sharing laughs, stories, and a few drinks while taking in the beautiful Moreton Bay views. And to top it off, we celebrate a birthday on board, marking another milestone in our sailing adventure and reminding ourselves why we chose this lifestyle in the first place — freedom, simplicity, and a life connected to the sea. If you’ve ever dreamed of living on a sailboat, sailing around the world, or simply want to know what everyday boat life looks like, this episode is for you. We’re documenting our journey from total beginners to full-time cruisers, learning something new about our boat, sailing, and ourselves every day.

That's right a year ago we bought this Beneteau Oceanis 430 and pulled the sail up for the first time ever when we brought her home. A sail that stretched 700 nautical miles from Townsville in Far North Queensland Australia to Moreton Bay in Brisbane Queensland. We are now preparing to move onboard and to sail around the world. Join us to see the challenges as we continue to learn to sail, prepare our boat and make changes so our boat feels like a home. We are moving onboard in just a few weeks so our sailing dream is getting closer and closer.

⛵️ Denizde geçen günlerin, uzun seyirlerin ardından tekneyi tuzdan ve tozdan arındırmak gerçekten önemli. Çünkü ne kadar çok tuzlu bırakılırsa, güneşin ışınlarıyla birlikte teknenin eskime payı da hızlanıyor. Biz de sık sık marina ya da limanlara bağlanmadığımız için bu konuda pratik bir çözüm arayışındaydık. Elbette ek bir hidrofor taktırma seçeneğimiz vardı ama zorunlu olmadıkça tekneyi delmek istemiyorduk. Sonunda işimizi görecek pratik bir çözüm bulduk: 🪣 “Karcher OC Foldable” hafif basınçlı su kovası 🚿 Katlanır, küçük ve taşınabilir. Teknenin bir köşesinde dursa bile yer kaplamıyor. En güzeli de marinaya ya da limana girmeden tekneyi ya da botu hızlıca tuzundan, tozundan arındırabiliyorum. Üstelik ⛓️ zinciri toplarken baklaların arasını temizlemek için de harika bir yardımcı oldu. Yani tek bir ürünle hem zamandan kazanıyoruz hem de işimiz kolaylaşıyor. Ben teknede böyle kullandım ama aslında kamp, karavan, bisiklet ya da motosiklet temizliğinde de aynı şekilde hayat kurtarıcı olabilir. Videoda kullanımını adım adım gösterdim; hatta 📦 kutu açılışı da var ama parmaklarımı kutuya şıklatmayı unuttum 😝 Bu video bir reklam işbirliği değil, tamamen kendi deneyimimiz. Bizim çok işimize yaradı, belki sizin de işinize yarar diye düşündüm ve paylaşmak istedim. 💬 Yorumlarda sizin de tekne temizlik yöntemlerinizi duymak isterim. Belki birbirimize yeni fikirler veririz 🌿⚓️ 👩🏻‍✈️👨🏻‍✈️ Sosyal Medya📱 İnstagram: eleven11sailing Facebook: eleven11sailing #TekneTemizliği #YelkenliHayatı #Denizcilik #BoatLife #YelkenliTürkiye #AmatörDenizci #KarcherOCFoldable #TekneBakımı #BasınçlıSuKovası #ZincirTemizliği #PratikÇözümler #DoğaDostuTemizlik #PortablePressureWasher #temizlik #basınçlısu #kova #taşınabilirtemizlik #temizlikkovası #karcher

This week aboard Arabella, we’re settling into our new home for the winter—the small but mighty harbor of Corner Brook, Newfoundland 🇨🇦. While many have asked, “Why would you want to live on a sailboat through a Newfoundland winter?” we’re here to show you exactly why! From hooking up to shore power and exploring the local community to chasing snow and ice climbing adventures, Corner Brook truly ticks every box for us. ❄️⛷️ This week, Steve takes you along a rugged hike to Cedar Cove, where a massive grounded cargo ship—the MSC Baltic III—has become an unexpected landmark — and shares the wild story behind its wreck. Then, join us for a 700-foot multi-pitch rock climb, Fortress of Solitude, on their anniversary, complete with drone footage, loose rock, and a perfect “money pitch” finish high above the Newfoundland coast. 🧗‍♀️🧗‍♂️ -------------------------- 📍 In This Episode: 00:00 – Why we’re overwintering in Corner Brook 03:15 – Exploring Cedar Cove & the grounded cargo ship 07:40 – Driftwood huts, salvage operations & wildlife finds 10:10 – Our anniversary multi-pitch climb on Bearhead Trail 15:20 – The “money pitch” & wrapping up an epic climb -------------------------- Episode #367 Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

This episode, we Sail Deep into ARNHEM LAND in the Northern Territory, where we meet a couple of locals who give us permission to go and explore the Abandoned Pearl Farm at Croker Island where we dodge a large CROCODILE, Spot some WILD HORSES, and watch a MANTA RAY swim past, before making our way up to the King River to catch a couple of BARRAMUNDI!! We also show you how we make water and carry out a few other Boat Jobs along the way!! We are a couple from WA who have moved on board our Yacht in search of adventure, fishing, diving and surfing while living from what the ocean provides and having a bloody great time along the way.

Rudders have been our number one priority on this abandoned catamaran rebuild - and since we were quoted $50,000 to have them made, we’ve decided to take the risk and build them ourselves. We’ve roped in a few great minds to help bring them to life, which means there’s no shortage of ideas… or opinions. Something tells us this DIY might take a little longer than we expect...

Quiet night in the Wrangell shipyard before we sandblast the port side of the Alaskan Gypsy. This corner of the keel had acted like a sacrificial anode over the years, dissolving from electrolysis after the sacrificial anodes (zincs) had all been. consumed. I’m filling it back in with 6010 rod, overhead, one fat bead at a time. It’s nice laying down doing some calm relaxing overhead 6010 late in the evening. In this short: • Overhead welding on the keel corner • Repairing electrolysis damage • Relaxed night-shift shipyard vibes Sometimes it’s not about finishing - it’s about staying with the work until the lights go out. ⸻ #AlaskanGypsy #SteelBoat #Welding #ShipyardLife #SailboatRefit #BoatRestoration #HullRepair #6010Rod #BoatDIY

Big progress in the Alaskan Gypsy shipyard restoration — the bow thruster, after much debate, is finally gone! and welding shut, gone for good. Or, until next haul out at least! This old jet-style hydraulic setup never really worked for much we are told, but it left four holes in the bow and a big repair project behind. In this episode, I cut out the last of the system and through repeated acts of contortionist weld plate over the openings. In this video: • Cutting out the old thruster through hulls for patches • Welding new steel plates over the openings • Reflections on simplicity, maintenance, and reliability Slow-TV meets shipyard life — just a man, a few tools, a lot of awkward welding positions, and a dream of getting back to sea. ⸻ 📑 Chapters 00:00 Intro – What’s Wrong with the Bow Thruster 01:15 Cutting Out the Old System 03:40 Hull Cleanup and Prep 06:30 Fitting the New Plates 08:45 Welding and Grinding 11:00 Zinc Primer and Wrap-Up 13:30 Reflections from the Shipyard #AlaskanGypsy #SteelBoat #BoatRestoration #SailboatRefit #ShipyardLife #BowThruster #HullRepair #Welding #BoatDIY

Found a great little tool to make quick and easy work of flishing your sea strainer and A/C system. it is called a "Lovxulee Flush Port Quick Connect". I replace your sea strainer cap with this cap and remove the sea strainer basket. They come in multiple sizes to fit your sea strainer size needs.

I spend some time mid-day ghosting on the lake waiting for the wind to pick back up. I decide to take the opportunity to try docking under sail for the very first time. Not perfect, but not bad for a first attempt. Then the winds pick up and I end the day with my first sunset sail of the season.

Winter’s coming, and it’s time to get your boat ready! In this video, we’ll show you how to flush the seawater system on a small yacht engine — running fresh water through to clear out salt and clean the heat exchanger. It’s the perfect first step before adding antifreeze, helping protect your engine and exhaust system right through the winter months. #yanmarengine #sailing #boating #boatmaintenance #sailboat #dieselenginerepair #winteriscoming

Finally the engine controls have arrived, let's get them unboxed and have a look at them. Also catch up on other work on the boat.

In this episode, we set sail from Borneo on an incredible passage toward Belitung Island, Indonesia — a place so unique it’s been recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark. As we approach the coast, we’re greeted by Belitung’s dramatic granite rocks rising from turquoise waters, creating one of the most stunning seascapes we’ve ever seen. We spend a few magical days exploring the island, wandering between sculpted boulders and white-sand beaches that feel untouched by time. But the calm doesn’t last for long — on our next leg, the weather turns. We find ourselves sailing through sudden tropical squalls, dodging rain and lightning while crossing one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Once safely in Malaysia, we check in and prepare to leave our boat for a while — because our next stop is Singapore! From the tranquility of the sea to the vibrant pulse of the city, we can’t wait to dive into Singapore’s fascinating culture, explore its mix of tradition and modernity, and, of course, sample its incredible food. Join us on this journey across Southeast Asia — from wild anchorages and stormy crossings to the bright lights and rich stories of Singapore. 🌏 In This Episode: Sailing from Borneo to Belitung, a UNESCO Global Geopark Exploring Belitung’s iconic granite rock formations Facing tropical squalls and heavy shipping traffic Checking into Malaysia by boat Traveling to Singapore to explore culture, food, and city life Music in this video deserves a Thanks to : " Word we Will Remember" by Josh Woodward.

The transformation begins! After months of mental anguish (see our earlier vides ;-), welding, and prep work, I finally suit up and sandblast the hull of our 80-foot steel schooner Alaskan Gypsy. As a first timer, I did the job in 8hrs because the sandblast pot was apparently clogged unbeknownst to me . . Anyhow- This is the day it all changes - from rust and corrosion to clean white metal and the first coat of zinc primer. Ignorance is bliss and I was on cloud 9 breathing paint fumes with my dad late into the night. If you want to see some of the mental anguish and gymnastics that led us to this day check out this endless monologue on the matter. I dare you. https://youtu.be/SP6bf04TepU?si=My0stRFdz269JIiF In this video: • Cobbling together a second half to the paint and blast shelter • Full sandblast of the lower hull (not recorded cause it was crazy) • Applying the first coat of PPG zinc primer in the wrong way. • Lessons learned about pressure, grit, and flash-rust. Shipyard life at its finest - loud, dirty, and deeply satisfying. ⸻ 📑 Chapters 00:00 Setting up more Blast Shelter 01:00 Preparing the Equipment 02:45 Sandblastering Gypsy into a new life 04:30 The Hull Turns Silver 06:00 Rolling on Zinc Primer 08:30 End-of-Day Reflections ⸻ #AlaskanGypsy #BoatRestoration #SteelBoat #SailboatRefit #ShipyardLife #Sandblasting #BoatDIY #HullRepair #ZincPrimer
