BOATYARD JOBS on our SECOND-HAND SAILBOAT l Ep.8

BOATYARD JOBS on our SECOND-HAND SAILBOAT which consist of earthing/bonding the engine to the anode, antifouling, polishing and getting some shiny new sailboat anodes. Last week we had to face some bad news when we had a rigging inspection which left us with a rather large list of refurbishments, and a rather large hole in our pockets! Whilst Rigit UK got to work on the mast, we had two weeks to get some of our other sailboat jobs done. Due to covid restrictions and needing a weather window, we couldn’t undertake the DIY sailboat projects ourselves, so we had to get some help!! Luckily, we have an incredibly good friend, Robbo, who just so happens to be an electrician (although not a marine electrician). We also met a new friend, Craig, from Bright n’ Clean who helped with the anti-fouling, anodes and giving Indiana a wax and polish! Thank you so much to both of you. We begin our journey to restore Indiana to her former glory and hope to get the mast stepped in the coming weeks too, so she’ll be ready for sailing around the world! Just kidding, but we’d at least like to get her outside of the marina walls this year!
