Tender Loving Care | DIY Tender Project Kickoff for a more stable dingy | DIY Tender Collar (Ep. 95)

We are giving our alloy tender some TLC and doing some up upgrades on her. Making a floor for the tender, fiberglassing some pods on the back to make getting in and our of the tender easier and we are making a DIY "kaptens collar" out of recycled EVA foam mats to make the tender more stable for our family. This is part one, stay tuned for part 2! Join us for an upcycling project in the boatyard! ________________ ABOUT US: Ahoy! We are the James Family, a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week! Sam is originally from New Zealand, Cait is originally from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia and a few years later during Covid-19 we eloped and then a year later our family grew, and we welcomed Charlie! We took the big plunge in 2022 and decided to follow our dream, sold everything, and purchased an old, unfinished, aluminum Catamaran and we are fixing her up as we sail around the world.
