WATCH THIS before you buy a boat...

They say cruising is just fixing your boat in exotic places. From broken anchor winches and dinghies to stitching sails and repairing toilets, here is a taster of some of the jobs we've tackled in the last year... So if you're dreaming of sailing off into the sunset, watch this before you buy a boat... Turquoise water, palm trees, dolphins... and diesel leaks.When our fuel tank sprang a leak, Timo decided to learn how to weld plastic so he could repair it. Magical sunrises, peaceful mornings... and oil leaks. Over the past year, we've resealed our fridge, fixed the kitchen counter, and repaired the oven door.We also had to replace both our outboard and dinghy. We were very lucky to find this second-hand dinghy - even if it meant sailing 100 nautical miles in the wrong direction (and back!) to pick it up. We've ripped sails-and stitched sails. We installed and modified starlink and made a new double bed. We've repaired our damaged paddleboard, the autopilot, and even the damper plate between the engine and gearbox. But sadly, we weren't so successful with the generator or the watermaker. The to-do list never ends-but neither do the rewards. And that makes it worth every drop of sweat! 00:00 Intro 00:53 Repairing our diesel tank 01:32 Changing the rear crank shaft seal of the engine 02:32 Resealing our fridge, fixing the kitchen counter, and repairing the oven door 03:13 Replacing both our outboard and dinghy 05:11 Repairing sails 05:58 Installing and modifying starlink 06:24 Making a double bed 07:03 Repairing our damaged paddleboard 08:53 Repairing our autopilot 09:32 Breaking and repairing the damper plate between the engine and gearbox (for the second time!) 14:22 Broken watermaker and generator 14:59 Unblocking the toilet! 17:30 Conclusion 18:35 Outtakes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share #boatrepair #boatlife #sailboat
