Boat #9: 1985 Niagara 35

That’s right.  It’s our very own s/v Plaintiff’s Rest, post re-rig, re-fit and repairs.  I will also show you each of the features on our boat that Phillip and I believe make it a great cruising vessel from engine access to batteries to the sump box and more.  If any of you out there are boat-shopping right now, I hope this video will help you understand why we chose the boat we did and what features and systems you may want to look for in a good cruising boat.  If there are any modifications or upgrades that you see in this video and want to know more about it, be sure to “search” (right hand tool bar on this page) for a post on it on the blog.  I’ve done a write-up or video on just about everything.  If you don’t find the info you are looking for, shoot me an email and I will be happy to answer as best I can.  Happy Boat Shopping!

#42: Taking Some Hits at the Yard

It seems the boys at the shipyard like to pick on the DIY’ers.  But, we can take a few light hits.  We’ll probably need their help along the way when it comes time to disassemble and fix all this stuff, so bring it on boys!  Many thanks to the www.perdidosailor.com guys for giving us hell.

Thanks to my Patrons who help me share the journey.  Get inspired.  Get on board.
