I was all set to get certified in Bareboat Charter through the Santa Barbara Sailing Center at the end of August 2016 when I got a call from the manager. He said the boat we were set to use for our course had just washed ashore on Santa Cruz Island after dragging anchor and was a total loss. I had to reschedule my course on a different vessel. Class canceled. It was Jazzy that you have encountered there in the boat yard. Stay safe you guys.

I like you guys. 😊

Great video again!

Great update. Sad to see that Catalina 36 all broken and battered. Looks like it was completely submerged for a time. That's what can happen when you hit the rocks. The key is to not hit the rocks, eh?

very good vid as all ways looking forward to more for sure

Congratulations on that beautiful sturdy fix on your bow pulpit! You
should sleep well knowing that problem is fixed, plus your new Rocna
anchor. Love those anchors! Safe travels and following. Cheers! -
We know things take longer AND you two are making the most of it with good decisions. imo

jazzy is a bareboat charter boat owned by sb sail in Santa Barbara. its is (or was) one of their newest boats and probably my favorite to sail. its a shame to see it like this, but not unexpected for a charter with many inexperienced sailors i guess...

Ah, boatyards... My memories are very mixed. At one, just after my 25 footer was hauled out on slings, I was manouvering steel I-beams to go under the fin keel;. The one I was pushing slid forwards as well as sideways, trapping a finger and opening it up to the bone. Yard work was suspended for the day, and made difficult in the following days due to the stitches... Strange how some real injuries hurt less that little nicks.
Another time I had my boat inside a huge shipbuilding shed in Port Adelaide, where we had to grind off ALL the underwater gelcoat due to osmosis. We left it to dry out for three months, and then manually rebuilt the hull surface with multiple coats of sealer, filler, paint and anti-fouling, laboriously fairing after each coat.
I could sum up the experience with a single episode, which still burns clear in my memory, despite it happening 35 years ago. Standing on the deck, some 10 feet above the ground, I carefully dropped the smallest seat cushion to the ground, and watched, in slow motion, as it bounced 12 feet to one side, knocking over a 4 litre vacuum pump pot containing our liquids for the day. The shattering sound lives on in my mind lol
Keep up with the great improvements you are making! -
Did you get the laptop? Works?

How they got that boat back? I'm more curious why they bothered? It's stuffed...

fridge volume doesnt matter. surface area, temperature difference and R value matter.

Underway soon! Yea!

very very sobering. send this link to miss lone star, with comment what can happen and how to learn how to work on a sailboat. if you skim through their vids you will see why. again thank you

I assume you are using polyester resin for fiberglassing. I have worked with this type for years making surfboards, patching Corvettes and now on the bulkheads of my kayak.
You have the ability to effect worktime by the amount of hardner you use. The more hardner you put in the faster it will set plus the action will create more heat. I have set papercups on fire from quick jobs.
It looks like you are figuring that out and doing well. Keep up the good work. Love the videos. -
Pretty cool vid ya'll.

You can sleep well with that anchor setup. shows that haven a big enough anchor is what saves a boat. If they say it's good enough for a 40'er then it's just about right for a 30'er.

Great video. Stay safe, It won't be long before your back out there.

Another good video. Maybe that space under the shelf in the locker could be used for old sails or spares you don't need immediate access to. Just a thought.....
Still stuck in the boatyard, this week we continue our own boat projects. We finish up adding some shelves into our cockpit lockers, having more fun with fiberglass and epoxy. We also chat with a very knowledgeable cruiser in the boatyard who gives us some foam to make some more insulation for our big, power-hungry fridge and freezer. While we sit and wait, we observe life around the boatyard, where we learn they don’t just do boatwork… they also offload all the squid from the fishing boats as well! It’s quite the interesting process, with lots of activity around the boatyard. We also see another boat who’s had a bit of misfortune out at the Channel Islands, unfortunately much worse than us… A huge hole in the side of the boat, missing keel and broken rudder are a stark reminder of the importance of keeping your wits and making good decisions while on the water. But alas, the end is in sight, the boatyard is almost done with Varuna’s new bowsprit and it’s only a matter of days until we are back on the water! We hope you enjoy our videos and adventures.
