Why we bought a SAILING BOAT Instead of a HOUSE

A few people have messaged us asking 'but why this?'- and to be honest, it's a really good question. With minimal larger boat sailing experience, fresh out of university and with our whole lives ahead- why did we pick a boat over a house? So join us in this vid to hear a bit about why we ditched the traditional route of getting a mortgage and securing a property, and instead, have chosen a life of maintenance, risk, travel and freedom. 〰️〰️〰️〰️ Episode 12 I Chapter 1: Beginning Boat Life [UK] 〰️〰️〰️〰️ 👪 Join the Tribe on our *Patreon* https://www.patreon.com/teulutribe 👕Pick up some *Merch* https://www.teulutribe.com/ 📷 Find us over on *Instagram* https://www.instagram.com/teulutribe/ 💬 Connect with us on *Facebook* https://www.facebook.com/teulutribe/ 🛠️ Teulu’s always trying to break herself, our *Amazon Wishlist* is here https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2045NNIGRTMQT?ref_=wl_share ☕ Treat us to a *Cup of Tea* https://www.buymeacoffee.com/teulutribe 📧 *Business Enquires* teulutribe@gmail.com ☑️ *Subscribe* for a new video every Monday *About Our Boat* - Name pronunciation (Tay-Lee), its Welsh, feel free to call her Too-Loo/Te-a-lu/Teaugukug/Tulu - 1987 Colvic Victor Ketch - 40ft/12m - Two Cabins - Encapsulated Keel and Skeg-Hung Rudder - 13 Tonnes *About Us* We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane. However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on. We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit *Timestamps* 0:00 PART ONE: JUST A DREAM 0:43 DECEMBER 2020 1:35 PART THREE: THE VIEWING PROCESS 3:27 PART FOUR EARNING THE MONEY 4:15 PART FIVE: GETTING EXPERIENCE 5:32 PART SIX FINDING THE RIGHT BOAT 8:47 PART SEVEN SECURING THE RIGHT BOAT 9:14 PART SEVEN.
