The Most Stressful Part of Our Boat Restoration | Ep.10

If you're wondering what the absolute Most Stressful Part of Our Boat Restoration has been, this is it, hands down. Seriously, it's probably going to stay our #1 item on the stressful job list forever! We spent countless hours brainstorming, agonizing over pros and cons, and just generally imagining everything that could possibly go wrong. But guess what? We finally did it! It was an incredibly scary structural change - cutting a humongous hole right through both the hull and the deck is definitely not for the faint of heart. But now that it's done, we're one giant step closer to our dreamed expedition sailboat, all thanks to swapping out our original swing keel system for a sleek new lifting one. ======== Binge watch from the beginning: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYWcIgi8S_6Ps6DD1ZriScAWKgPWaRVb6&si=nLEpUlax5tLV7je9 SUBSCRIBE TO GET NOTIFIED ?
