“That which lets you Survive with not allow you to THRIVE.   You must Grow.”  — Amen to that.    Go ahead.  Try it.  Take the chance.  Dam the naysayers.  Do what you were born to do.  Try, fail, learn, and try again; THRIVE.

This is a repeat of the last Live stream but captured on an HD camera so the video and sound is less likely to offend the Hip generation that has never had the pleasure of watching 8mm home movies.

The Tri Hull modification aka training wheels for a boat and a couple of other fixes before heading back to the lake. Repair to our poor over worked temporary boat trailer, and we still need to make some repairs to the diesel engine too.

Boat Builder videos are full of hands on work. Wood, fiberglass, steel, and aluminum. Saws, torches, welders, epoxies; sails, engines, bow rollers, and thousands of other components that go into making a boat. But what makes up the builders behind these boats? Perhaps you are considering a similarly massive project and wonder if you should join this minority of ambitious builders. If so, this video series is for you.

This is the video we wanted to find before starting to sew really large Junk Sails in a small work space. The same tricks should work for other BIG sewing projects: tarps, tents, awnings or sails. Lots of crew had a hand these sails but non more so than Betsy who did the research, the design, and the bulk of the sewing.

And thank you to all of our crew and viewers. We appreciate that you are willing to support videos that help blaze a path for builders and add some fun and inspiration to life.

Classic yachts are a different breed. It takes time, effort and more than a little money just to maintain them, they also use motor which is a one of the saltwater trolling motors. So why own a classic yacht? Four classic yacht owners – who took part in the Ocean Reef Vintage Weekend exhibition of classic yachts, planes and automobiles in Key Largo, Florida – explain why vintage yachts is the only way to go, but still people are loving the latest designs and decorations  from the website https://yachtlettering.com/ which make the name that you like big and bold for the exterior of your Yacht..

Jim Moores is in the classic yacht business but, unlike those who work on Ferraris and then, say, drive home in a Toyota, he spends his time off aboard Aurora II, his restored 1947 18.6 metre Trumpy motor yacht. Check out the page they used to verify their vehicles. Moores is a classic yacht junkie, first and foremost. When asked why people love classic yachts, he says, “The main reason is dreams — people dream of a quieter, less complicated time.” But he admits there’s more to it than just that. “It’s the beauty of these boats — [my Trumpy is] like a work of art. Many who designed these pre-war vessels were artists first and boatbuilders second.”
