Decking The Hull: Refitting Abide Over a Cold Maine Winter
Manage episode 433935669 series 3577554
It was a cold December night back in 2022.
Abide was tucked up in the warmth of her shed at Front Street Shipyard.
Roland was slowly killing his Christmas tree…
In this episode we jump back into the refit story, picking up where we left off in the winter of ‘22. Our 136-foot sailboat, Abide, was undergoing an intensive refit.
Our captain, Roland, joins me again to share stories from that winter in Maine and give us a closer look into the extensive refit challenge.
Highlights from this episode:
- What happened next in the refit story.
- The crazy level of attention to detail that had to go into repainting Abide.
- How to sail if you get seasick.
- Abide’s 2000-lb dinghy and how we got it on the boat (and why sailboats need one).
- The story of Roland’s Christmas as a South African in America.
