ABANDONED BOAT to TINY HOME! The work continues [S2-E39]

Welcome to episode 39 of Sailing Melody Season 2

Massive progress this week as we more or less totally rebuild the cockpit combings creating a much better mounting point for the winches and also much better headroom in the aft end of the boat.

Two solid days of working from dusk til dawn were hugely productive as Andy cut away most of the old cockpit combings and prefabricated new ones in a box configuration which is so much better than what was there originally. In fact the original design schematics show the combings going all the way out to the topsides but we didn't do that, partly because that would have meant repositioning the cleats and re-fabsicating the station posts and pushpit, but also because Melissa just doesn't like that look aesthetically.

Remember we're doing all of this so we can go full time cruising as a sailing family in a few years time.

This is obviously a huge refit and refurbishment of this big, old, abandoned steel yacht and it's not only time consuming, it's complicated and quite expensive so we really do value any help we can get, whether it's helpful advice and comments on the video or gifts through our Amazon Wishlist or actual contributions through Patreon, Paypal and Ko-Fi.

We want to say a HUUUUUUUGE thank you to everyone who has contributed in any way and here are the links if you'd like to help us out at all on this amazing journey.
