We’re picking up where we left off in episode 3 with our captain Roland. In this part of the story, the boat (Abide) is still in the water at the shipyard in Belfast, Maine, but we’re gearing up to haul her out and get started on the refit.
This was the biggest project that Roland had undertaken. We speak about how we chose the shipyard, the work that went into getting Abide into the shed and the major undertaking of preparing her for the refit. It sounds straightforward, but it’s anything but!
Highlights from this episode:
What goes into hauling a 136-foot sailboat out of the water.
Choosing the right shipyard for the work.
The process of finding the crew and getting them set up.
Getting the cost estimates for the refit… ‘estimate’ being the keyword!
