This is a full length documentary on the total refit of my sailboat.

This is 6 months work, not all of it, probably 40% of it, but it shows a bulk of the work I had to do to get this boat which had been left for 4 years back into working shape and ready to cruise oceans.

It is a Jeanneau 54ds that we purchased for 130k as it was in pretty rough shape, I saved about 70 to 100k by doing all the work myself.

Feel free to ask any questions
