In this video we’re in Wrangell, Alaska, working on our 80ft steel schooner Alaskan Gypsy. The job: pulling the rudder. It’s the kind of task that can either be a nightmare or, if luck shows up, surprisingly simple. What started out as a rainy, blustery morning with me staring at badly corroded bolts turned into one of those rare wins in the boatyard—bolts coming free without a fight, a rudder that actually lets go, and me learning along the way. This video is less about perfection and more about the real side of boat work: -Rust, electrolysis, and unexpected surprises -The mix of tools, stubborn bolts, and problem-solving -Doing the work yourself because you can’t (or won’t) hire it out -The small victories that keep a big refit moving forward If you like the behind-the-scenes grind of bringing a boat back to life, grab a cup of tea and come into the shipyard with me.

After weeks in the Wrangell shipyard staring at the battered steel hull of our 80ft schooner Alaskan Gypsy, I finally admit what EVERYONE has been telling me: Sandblast it! In this long, comical, and insightful video, Scott takes you inside his decision-making process about whether to sandblast the hull, from budget fears to real shipyard advice. With electrolysis damage, corrosion, welding repairs, and the ever-present debate of “DIY vs pro,” this episode dives deep into: -Why sandblasting is the gold standard for steel hull repair -The costs, risks, and realities of blasting an 80ft steel sailboat -Advice from the “mystery machinist” of Wrangell shipyard -DIY vs professional blasting, shelters, primers, and coatings -Long-term vs short-term boat maintenance decisions -If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to restore a steel boat, or just want a peek into the chaos of shipyard life, this video is for you. 👉 Drop a comment if you’ve blasted a hull before, share your tips, or just laugh along at our madness. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to follow our journey restoring and sailing the Alaskan Gypsy through Alaska’s wild waters.

Today we’re pulling off the emergency hull patch from our steel motorsailer Alaskan Gypsy. Months ago, while on the tidal grid, we sealed a diesel tank leak with a mix of Z-Spar Splash Zone, 5200, rubber gasket material, and an aluminum backing bar. It was a true in-the-field repair — done fast, under pressure, on diesel-soaked steel with 350 gallons of fuel behind it. Now in the Wrangell shipyard, it’s time to remove that patch and see just how well it actually held. Hammer, chisel, pry bar — the works. Along the way, we get a real-world look at how incredibly strong these products can be, even under less-than-ideal conditions. For anyone living the boat repair, DIY, and liveaboard lifestyle, this is a gritty look at what works when you need to keep a boat afloat until the proper fix can be made. If you’re curious about how Splash Zone epoxy, 3M 5200 marine adhesive, and creative fixes really perform — this one’s for you.

Today on the Alaskan Gypsy, Scott takes you inside a long day in the Wrangell shipyard. After hours of welding and grinding on the boat’s chine, he shares how a small Milwaukee light kept the work going even after dark. This vlog is part boat restoration, part everyday Alaskan living: -Life aboard a steel motorsailer in Southeast Alaska -Progress updates on the welding project -Behind-the-scenes look at shipyard gear & tools -A well-earned moose brisket dinner cooked in the Ninja slow cooker -From blackened paint and welding fans to dreams of anchoring in Punchbowl Cove, Misty Fjords, Scott keeps things honest, funny, and real.

You might think that big catamarans are only suited for inboard diesel engines. Think again! In this video, we're breaking down a common misconception and revealing the surprising advantages of using modern outboard motors on a large cruising catamaran. We'll take you through a head-to-head comparison of outboards versus inboards, and you'll learn why many experienced sailors and boat builders are making the switch. From the ease of maintenance to the improved performance and even safety benefits, outboards offer a compelling case that goes far beyond their lower initial cost. In this video, we'll cover: Easy Maintenance & Repair: See why having your engines on the outside makes servicing a breeze, saving you time and money. Performance Gains: Find out how less weight and less drag can translate to better sailing performance and a shallower draft for exploring new anchorages. More Space & Less Noise: Learn how outboards free up valuable living space inside your hulls and can be surprisingly quiet. Cost-Effectiveness: We'll compare the up-front and long-term costs of both systems, so you can make an informed decision for your next boat. Whether you're a long-time sailor or just starting your journey into the world of multihulls, this video will challenge your assumptions and show you why outboards are a powerful and smart choice for a big cat. #Catamaran #Sailing #OutboardMotors #MarineElectronics #BoatingTips #DIYBoat #CruisingCatamaran #SailingLife #OutboardVsInboard #BoatReview -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the Reversing Entropy Project, You will help the channel share the knowledge with all the sailing community.

We finally got the Yeti cooler back—stuffed with Yukon River moose (thanks, Len!) shipped down to Wrangell by Alaska Air Cargo. One problem: I’d torn out the chest freezer wiring during demo… so tonight’s mission is rewire the vintage GE freezer aboard the 80’ steel motor-sailer Alaskan Gypsy and get that meat rock-hard again. Along the way: southeast Alaska rain gives way to a stunning sunset, I share a few soldering + heat-shrink tips, and we talk honest off-grid food storage—big freezer vs. canning/drying and “keeping it on the hoof.” Question for you: does insulating a freezer’s sides actually help—or trap compressor heat?

In this nitty-gritty shipyard work session on the S/V Alaskan Gypsy, we carefully demo marine-plywood panels to get at spray-foam insulation that must be removed to avoid toxic smoke and fire hazards before welding. We walk through tool choices (a new Milwaukee brushless oscillating tool), safe foam removal to avoid fire during exterior welding, a low-heat 3/32" 6011 stick test (Miller Maxstar 160 S), mapping measurements from outside to inside, and a realistic grind/finish (Milwaukee 9' Grinder) strategy after building up the chine seam to repair electrolysis damage. Filmed on location in the shipyards in Wrangell, Alaska. What you’ll see: • Why we had to pull plywood to expose foam before welding (fire-safety) • Locating the exact weld zone from outside (browning the paint as a marker) • Dealing with hidden screws/putty, broken fasteners, and a bilge hose obstacle • 6011 rod choices (3/32" then 1/8") for controlled heat + build-up • Honest talk on “good enough” vs. perfection when there’s broader hull pitting • A quick grind to knock down high spots before epoxy paint later Gear & materials mentioned: marine plywood (3/8"), oscillating multi-tool (Milwaukee Fuel), 6011 electrodes, 9' grinder.

We are figuring out how to get our @MillerWelders stick welder connected to our onboard 240v system with a little help from the right plug from @leviton aboard the s/v Alaskan Gypsy in the shipyard in Wrangell, Alaska.

Sometimes the power tools you want feel like they cost an arm and a leg. Sometimes they turn out to be worth it! My shipyard work couldn't proceed without an oscillating tool, and this @MilwaukeeTool from the local @AceHardware seemed like a good buy. Spoiler alert -- It was worth the cost! Thing cuts like an angry beaver!

In Wrangell Shipyard, we’re tackling the electrolysis scars on our steel sailboat Alaskan Gypsy. Instead of full-on sandblasting, we test a Monti German-made bristle blaster (scored on eBay at a bargain) that usually sells for a high price new. It promises to deliver a sandblast-like profile in a handheld grinder. Can it really dig into deep, sharp-edged pits and leave a coating-ready surface? We compare results against traditional methods, talk about consumable costs, and share next steps—whether to fill with Belzona epoxy putty or go for clad welding with 6010 rods. Shipyard life is never simple: safety concerns, budget calls, and “good enough to coat” decisions all come into play. Follow along as we work to get Gypsy back in the water.

Our hydraulic steering broke down. When we fixed it, we made it better. In this video you can see how we have made a by pass valve for the hydraulic oil, so we can use the emergency tiller. We also changed the hydraulic pump on one of the two steering wheels that the Nauticat motorsailers have. In this case the boat is a Nauticat 38, and the system it made quite similar on other Nauticats and other boats with two position hydraulic steering. Another important step in our boat restoration! This video covers boat maintenance and how to use improve the boat safety. Learn how we tackled this part of the restoration process.

We're spending every waking hour on either fixing the boat or recovering from fixing the boat, so this episode is a lovely concoction of thoughts, a little sailing trip with friends, Copenhagen life and the odd boat jobs. We're also super excited to show you what we've been spending the past week and 50 hours+ on. Let's just say the boat will be much faster, cheaper and lower maintenance from now on :) As always thank you to our partners Watski and Orca for making sure we're well equiped for our imminent circumnavigation (in less than 6 weeks!)

Final episode of our winter boat restoration series on Sailing Maja, our Nauticat 38! After months of hard work with the boat maintenance, the boat has a beautiful new teak deck along with a bunch of other fantastic upgrades and equipment installations. In this video, I take you on a detailed tour to show you exactly how everything turned out. How expensive was it, and is it worth it? Another boat undergoes a complete boat restoration! This sailing journey highlights the realities of boat life and the commitment it takes to maintain a yacht. From minor fixes to major overhauls, owning boats is a labor of love, much like restoring a classic sea ray. This project has definitely turned out to be quite an investment — way more expensive than I initially expected — but I’m not going to reveal the exact cost. What matters is that the results are worth it, and the boat feels amazing! If you’ve been following along, thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm!

We finally get stuck into our sailboat refit, starting with the removal of our old, leaky hatches and windows. What begins as a straightforward job quickly turns into a bigger project when we uncover even more hidden wood rot beneath the frames — just what every sailor loves to find… With no working engine (our prop shaft snapped), we have to figure out how to move our 45-foot sailboat once again. The plan? Tow her up the Cairns inlet using a couple of small tinnys — a DIY towing mission that’s becoming all too familiar. Between the window removal, surprise repairs, and yet another sailboat towing operation, this week is all about making slow but steady progress on our floating home. If you’re into liveaboard life, boat restoration, or want a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of fixing up a classic cruising yacht, this episode is for you.

For years, the debate has raged among sailors: which is better, deck stepped or keel stepped? In this video, I'm cutting through the noise and sharing my strong conviction: the deck stepped mast reigns supreme. I'll break down the practical reasons why I believe it offers more advantages in terms of maintenance, safety, and overall convenience for the average cruiser.

Boat improvement and boat restoration. In this video, we focus on a major job on the Nauticat, specifically addressing a concern about safety. The key update involved raising the handrail to improve security on the boat. This seemingly small boat project is crucial for safe boating. How to prevent falling overboard. How do you make a safe boat even safer? Easy—raise the bar. Literally. So we’ve taken matters into our own hands by upgrading the safety rail around the aft deck of our 1982 Nauticat motorsailer. These boats are already built like tanks, but we believe there’s always room for improvement—especially when it comes to staying on the boat. In this video, we show how we raised the guard rail height on the aft deck to improve safety and peace of mind while underway. It’s a small change, but one that makes a big difference. ⚓ If you’re into boat life, refits, or just practical upgrades that make sailing safer and more enjoyable, this one's for you. 🛠️ Subscribe for more DIY boat projects, safety tips, and life aboard a classic Nauticat.
