Sailing Wicked Trailer | How did we get here? | Boat Refit and Life in the USVI

Hey! We are Matty and Brit and proud owners of a 2009 43 Beneteau Oceanis! Welcome to the beginning of our journey which we get to live through again making and sharing these videos with you. ________________________________________________ This is what we know about Wicked... Wicked is a 2009 43 Beneteau Oceanis that was chartered through the moorings and ownership was transferred to two different families before she was met by both hurricane Maria and Irma in 2017. She was salvaged and stripped of most of her electronics and working parts but left with a good motor and mast. There was quite a bit of damage on her starboard side where she was beached in St. John and the bottom part of the rudder was broken off. When salvaged she was hot patched, filled with foam, screws and plywood to stop her from taking on water then taken to a mooring where she would spend 3 years waiting for us to take her on. In those 3 years the damage done to the starboard side hadn’t been addressed. So slow leaks into the fiberglass festered, rotted and had to be dealt with. _______________________________________________ Our Plans We plan to do a full refit on Wicked and make her better than new! She lacks many of her systems including electric, plumbing, navigation and running rigging to start. While its a ton of work we get to start from scratch and make her ours before moving on board! Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing! Matty & Brit :)
