How much do you need to pay someone to step into an empty black water tank…?

We pick up where we left off in episode 5, with Roland and the crew setting things in motion at Front Street Shipyard, Maine. Our sailboat, Abide was being hauled out of the water and unloaded in the shed.

In this episode, we’re diving into the process and the challenges behind restoring Abide to her original beauty - and then some.

Highlights from this episode:

  • What goes into restoring a 136-foot sailboat.
  • Making a sailboat functional and beautiful.
  • What the ‘giant-tattoo gun’ was for...
  • Choosing the right wood and paint (it’s harder than you’d think).
  • The supply-chain challenges of 2022 and how the refit was affected.
  • The gritty details of the black water tank (don’t worry we don’t get too graphic…).
  • How a sailing yacht gets surveyed.
