Tour of our Totaled & Salvaged, Wrecked 49' Beneteau Sailboat! | Expedition Evans 2

Hey all, welcome back for more of the adventure! This is it! This is the week Jade finally gets to see what we've been dreaming of and working towards for so long! We are so excited to share a (somewhat haphazard) tour of our live aboard sailing yacht (is it still a sailing yacht if it doesn't have a mast!?) - A 2008 Beneteau 49 - This is our first time seeing our new boat in any depth - and we couldn't be more happy about it. It's quite the tiny house upgrade from our 24 foot Skoolie and more luxury than I think we ever planned on - it has a fridge and a freezer, a water heater...and even air conditioning!! With that said, it's going to be quite the project just getting her seaworthy, let alone ready to circumnavigate...you should see the repairs list forming already! And all that's before upgrades...solar panels, dinghy davits, solar arch, water maker, lithium batteries? washing machine?! We'll see what ends up making it in and what doesn't...only the budget (and our minimalists desire) will tell! Honestly, it's pretty overwhelming at this point...one project at a time and eventually the refit will be complete... and the constant repairs begin 😂 Thanks for watching- With love The Evans' **************************************** *Our Boat* 2008 Beneteau 49 3 cabin 2 head 4JH4-TE Westerbeke generator Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage Here's what we *think* we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See https://youtu.be/JJ3MruoO2q4 for how we came to own her! **************************************** *Our Gear* Main Camera: https://amzn.to/3h9CiOg Main Lens: https://amzn.to/2Q3hYC7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3iSDGoV Action Camera: https://amzn.to/4ibLwJV Drone: https://amzn.to/2Yf3X8S Laptop: https://amzn.to/3h9ydcL *Find Us Elsewhere* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpeditionEvans J Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Jadexploring/ B Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_BrettEvans_ EE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ExpeditionEvans *Website/blog* We're working on it we promise 😁 #sailboat #sailing #tinyhouse #tinyhome
