Colvic Victor 40ft Sailing Boat Tour

Welcome on board Teulu. We are so excited to finally share an inside and out look at our Colvic Victor ketch. Currently set up as a live aboard but with some upgrades on the horizon, we thought it was the perfect time to share an overview of her with you.
If you want a bit more of a detailed look into where everything is kept on board or just fancy being a little nosy and peaking behind some of those closed doors, feel free to check out our Patreon for that vid!

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit

[@brendenz5496]

So clean and organized. Awesome. So organized I don’t even think I’ll have to take my OCD medication tomorrow

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha we do try! Although it doesn't always look like this- especially after we have finished a boat project!

[@drush406]

I absolutely love the layout of your Ketch! Especially engine room! Boat is just perfect! Roomy!

[@davidharlem6824]

Now there’s a nice boat!!

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks David! 😊

[@kainejoyes2981]

only just found your channel, love it. Ive missed a few episodes just watch the first couple when you finally bought the boat, and your first sail. its amazing to see and hear the confidence change in you both now you have some time on the water. My wife hates the sea so no chance for me to ever live on a boat, so its great I get to experience a little bit of heaven through you guys, keep them coming cheers xxxx

[@TeuluTribe]

So glad Kaine! We sometimes think about that too, how much our confidence and faith in Teulu and each other has built over the months 😊 glad you can experience it through our vids. Thanks for the lovely comment 😊

[@helenrice9782]

Loved this one you two adorable ones! At last we think we’ve now caught up with you and your adventures. Well done indeed. Stay safe, have fun and keep on following your dreams 🥰🥰🥰🥰xxxxx

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much Helen! We will continue to do all of those things! Hopefully we will see you soon too! Xxx

[@stuartmould6363]

Brilliant as ever, great tour around your lovely boat 👍👍👍👍

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much Stuart! Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@max-edit-films]

Can´t wait to see you sailing around Croatia/Italy/Greece to meet up with you guys!

[@TeuluTribe]

Would love to at some point!! 😊

[@silvanocometta9760]

You have an extremely well kept boat for its age. Congrats! I suggest a modification on your waste water system. Instead of letting the water from shower, sinks, etc. go into the bilge, get it directly overboard with a pump, e.g. mounted under the shower pan. You will switch on that pump manually evey time you take a shower. The advantage is that you avoid humidity in the builge. In particular, you want to avoid any water in the engine room bilge. Humidity in the engine room will lead to rust everywhere over time. I speak of 25 y experience. Once I had changed my entire water system accordingly my bilge was dry an corrosion was no longer seen. Good luck and regards from Switzerland. Silvano

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Silvano 😊 Yes, thats a great suggestion and something we are now looking into! Thanks!

[@bobjary9382]

A gulper sounds like a bottom feeding prehistoric fish, but its the the thing that sounds like it might pull your toes off under your shower tray . I had a blower in my bilge for airflow , if you do have high rh its one way to cure it

[@pc3250]

Thanks for the boat tour it's looking great, congratulations. Also good to change the name of the chanel. Just a couple of things, the gas locker does not look as though it is sealed and drained overboard. Hopefully it's better than it looks. Gas on a boat is dangerous and will drain down to the lowest point in the bilges and accumulate there. The light you pointed out on the front of the main mast is the "masthead" light, commonly referred to on a yacht as the steaming light, as you must have this light on when under power, as well as your sidelights ( red, green) and stern light. Although officially called a masthead light, it is clearly not at the masthead and doesn't need to be, but it must show a white light from forward to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on each side (the same sector as your sidelights), which it looks as though it does. An anchor light must show a white light 360 degrees. If you have one it will be at the top of the mast. Otherwise you can hang a light up in the forward part of the yacht (similar to the black ball). Great to follow your progress. Hope that helps.

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much! You are right about the gas locker- it is not sealed- it is on our list! However, there is a pipe to outside though which is good and we do switch it off after each use 😊 Yes. We know this about the steaming light- We don't have one at the top so we just use the Steaming light and our stern light- although it is something we need to fix soon! Thanks so much for the suggestions- we really appreciate it 😊

[@pc3250]

Thanks for your reply, it's good that the gas locker is at least drained overboard. As for an anchor light I use one of these. I first bought a battery powered one from Decathlon, which is really bright, water resistant and lasts about three nights on one set of batteries. (I used to use a paraffin light, but this is much safer). Now I have bought one of these, rechargeable ones. I recommend them.

[@Larrysusmanuk]

Thanks for the tour, new to sailing I’m from the van life area. Looks a fantastic setup, right from the start, amazing 🤙🏻

[@TeuluTribe]

Glad you enjoyed the tour! Welcome to the sailing community!

[@charles11ification]

Great to have such a spacious engine room!

[@TeuluTribe]

It sure is!

[@larsholst6216]

What a wonderful home you have there. I wish you the best of experiences.

[@TeuluTribe]

Cheers Lara 😊

[@stevecrombie5357]

Beautiful boat, inside and out. Thanks for the tour.

[@TeuluTribe]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@mslcreative]

That was a great tour thank you for sharing. I love the idea of sailing but never got there and now enjoy the experiences of sailing people like you two. Have watched a few of your videos including the trials and tribulations you experienced buying this boat. I am also following someone I know who is currently north of Scotland tied up in Fair Isle and I can watch his progress on marinetraffic its great fun, I was wondering if I could find you guys but the only Teulu was last reported in St Lucia in 2015, enjoy your wonderful sailing life. Thanks

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much Malcolm- glad you can vivaciously live a sailing life through us! We would love to head to Scotland one day, have only heard great things about it 😊 AIS is also on the list so one day hopefully soon-ish (budget dependant) you can also follow us! Interesting about the Teulu in St Lucia!

[@topc9858]

Nice boat with smart solutions. Your gas locker needs to be so that if there is a leak it leaks outside of the boat. Thanks for the great videos.

[@TeuluTribe]

We ended up fixing our gas locker in a later episode 😁

[@quinnlessard8236]

Wow what a boat !!

[@shaunoakes6803]

Thanks for the looky !! ... cheers

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Shaun 😊

[@sailingstardreamer]

Stunning yacht

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks! 😊

[@rogerdarbyshire5664]

Looking good, BeenZee. When upgrading that old winch, consider splurging on a stainless Andersen- they really are the mutts nuts! on the principle you can never have too much fresh water, consider (long term) rigging a "water collection system" (a big funnel leading to a jerrycan) under the goosenecks, the amount of rainwater pouring off there when the sails are up will astound you! (Discard the first few litres, it'll have salt off the sails in it.) Keep up the good work!

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha BeenZee- that made us laugh- maybe we should start signing emails off like that 🤣 Will check out the Anderson winches- thanks for the recommendations!

[@marketindan.ytvideos]

I liked that you said currently, just after talking about the battery bank. Jest for fun is this comment. 😆 The boat is beautiful!

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks! and hahah no pun intended 🤣

[@MikeB-gf6dj]

Planet Bek has a new name. 🙂 Nice one. Thanks for the tour guys. Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿 M !

[@TeuluTribe]

We do! Glad you enjoyed the tour 😊

[@TeuluTribe]

Very true! Thanks Steven 😊

[@johnwishart7950]

lovely video what an industrious couple you are

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@josephcroft4268]

looks fantastic what a great buy

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Joseph!

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

You've got cute boat it seems small but there is alot of space, very unique, to tell u frankly older boats are better most f them are more durable than newest one.. Im amazed, and the areas are well maintaned by the previous owner..

[@russbetts1467]

Thanks for the Grand Tour. It's a bit like the Tardis. Looks bigger on the inside, than on the outside.

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha that's what a lot of friends and family who have visited said!

[@praxispm]

Beautiful boat! Love the woodwork!

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much! The woodwork is pretty special isn't it! 😊

[@billycookson8804]

Nice to see you! keep posting the videos they are really good 👍👍

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Billy! Will do 😊

[@jayg7889]

Congratulations on the channel guys. Looking forward to your travels. One tip though... A lot of subtle nods to Delos in your videos. Not a bad thing as they are legends. But..... Find your own flow (I'm sure you will) be yourselves and be unique. Best of luck to you.

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Jay! We actually haven’t ever watched a Delos vid in our lives haha! See they have a ketch though which is cool 😊

[@janbennetsen7292]

Great tour, I really enjoyed it. And congrats on the new name for the channel, such a great step up. Love it!

[@elizaandalisa]

Thanks they have a new name that clears up my confusion I'm a silly old sod! So ain't lost me marbles yet phew! Marty Australia

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Jan! Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha not lost em yet 🤣 we do indeed have a new name!

[@josecarrillo115]

Great job and congratulations guys on your boat. Look in to getting a four panel solar system down the road when you're able.. Safe travels and cheers from California😃

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Jose! We are looking into solar now actually! It will be a perfect solution to our forever flat batteries!

[@arqcm]

Nice cutting board

[@TeuluTribe]

Its cool isn't it! Found it on Etsy 😊

[@MyMondoMan]

Cool!

[@claire4897]

Lmao….I’ve been trying to figure out why this video was in my subscribers and why I couldn’t find Planet Becky this week. Cool new channel name!

[@TeuluTribe]

Made a KZbin community post but think it got swallowed up by KZbin! Glad you like it! 😊

[@sailingjiggers9083]

Do love cawsands!!

[@TeuluTribe]

We do too! Bit rolly sometimes but nice and local 😊

[@gactrxonline3072]

I guess you're anchor cleat is attached to a solid steel backing plate or some such?

[@TeuluTribe]

Its not, but we would far rather lose a cleat and a bit of the deck, than our electric windlass!

[@Islandteacherwkbx]

Great video! Are you getting more relaxed while anchoring at night? I saw the video when you were up quite a bit checking your position. 🇧🇲

[@TeuluTribe]

We are! Slowly but surely as the confidence and trust in our ability increases, so does the amount of hours sleep we get 🤣

[@morgangentle1515]

Just don’t push the limits no need to take this into bad weather

[@nrolled2888]

Should the co2 monitor be near the floor? I thought it was heavier than oxygen and needed to be mounted low. At least lower than your head when sleeping.

[@TeuluTribe]

On the installation instructions it told us to mount it in that position….we’ll have a look into it!

[@ChrisHolman]

It reminds me of a nauticat, I like it

[@pipdowell4576]

That deckhouse top looks ideal for solar, any plans for the future ?

[@TeuluTribe]

We are hoping to get a solar set up soon and are looking to put two flexi ones on it!

[@bobmeador4465]

Well done video, keep them coming. Nice to see you on anchor, that 80kilo anchor is NOT overmuch! It is true that weight on the extreme ends will increase the hobbyhorse motion but the difference between 35K and 80K on the bow is not that significant. The difference in holding between 35K and 80K, when your anchor is all that's keeping you off a lee shore in a blow, IS significant! Fair winds.

[@TeuluTribe]

That's what we thought! Heavier just can't be worse- especially when we want to anchor 99% of the time!

[@Trevscuriosites]

Second comment like the new channel name too

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Trevor!

[@rogerdinnis3816]

I have already commented on the main sheet jambing cleat but I also wonder about those very large wheelhouse windows, are you thinking about blinds? Rather exposed in the winter. Lead the hoist lines for the mooring ball forrard of the lower shrouds, the ball ought to be visible over the bow not the side deck! Any idea of the length of chain? You do keep the boat so smart and tidy, well done.

[@TeuluTribe]

We looked into blinds but they are too long to fit (even custom ones!) so we are thinking silver backed blackout material that poppers or Velcros on to give a bit more protection 😊 Thanks for the suggestions! We have 60m of chain currently and are going to get about 50m more 😊

[@wynnebritton1]

Hi how does an anchor signal ball work ?

[@TeuluTribe]

It is just hoisted to indicate you are at anchor so other boats coming in and out know you can't move quickly!

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@TeuluTribe]

[@marklchapman2785]

Wait, 38+ thousand pounds in two years, what did you do ? rob atm’s 🙄

[@TeuluTribe]

Zach worked 60+ hours a week as a manager on night shift work, I had two jobs, we sold a car, and lots of our belongings, we paid £350 rent a month for both of us and £20 on groceries a week 😜 so yes, 38000 in two years.

[@markbernier8434]

Just a thought, have you ever seriously tested the emergency bilge pump? If you ever need it, it will be dark, everything crashing about and you will have to go like the clappers.

[@TeuluTribe]

We have and it works! Its one of the first things we did when we bought it- always better safe than sorry! Thanks 😊

[@stevesavage8784]

Correction. Life is not short and you can reinvent yourself many times. This is your first project.....

[@lawrencepearce-w6b]

WOW, what an amazing home you both have, I only wish that I could have done something like this 25 years ago... What an awesome adventure. Your gorgeous home is impeccable, never seen such a neat and tidy yacht, well done. Your wonderful partnership just radiates with love and light.... Here is to many, many more safe sea miles.... Congratulations, may the wind be there for you forever 🙂

[@WharfRat4]

I love your boat. I think you've made a great choice for an offshore cruiser. I've been sailing for 46 years. Everything from dinghies to cruisers (we use to have a boat in Queen Anne's Battery) and currently we're racing in the RORC doublehanded offshore series. I'm currently looking for a cruising boat that I can spend extended periods on when I retire, and the deckhouse with the table high enough to sit at whilst looking out is a great feature that I am looking for too. For cruising, the ketch rig gives a lot of options for depowering safely when needed. Slab reefing rather than inboom or in mast reefing would be my preference too, as there is nothing that can really jam or go wrong and it allows for a better sail shape. We have an EFOY fuel cell on the race boat which has been a great addition. We never need to run the engine to charge now. Maybe worth investigating if your energy needs are high. I'm sure you're going to have a great time onboard. Best of luck. I'll be following.

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much. Oh cool, small world! It was the pilot house that attracted us to Teulu in the first place- we wanted lots of light in 😊 Will look into the EFOY fuel cell system- thanks for the suggestion!

[@Jason-xb2ri]

Beautiful boat! I just recently found you guys; been watching all your videos! Thanks for sharing your lives with us! 🍻

[@grandyda]

That is a very well kept and extremely well layed out boat.. especially for a 40 footer... i have been on 50 footers that did not seem to have much more space than you guys have... very nice find!!!! Congratulations!

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Nice boat and nice couple too. I just don't understand one thing, and that in all seriousness: What sorrows do you need to drown by drinking booze? Or for that matter any sailing channel. I simply do not understand it. You are young, capable and attractive people, supposedly living the dream, and yet you need booze in your life, as do all sailing channels out there apparently. If I ever get a boat, I will be the first 100% alcohol free sailor in the world and boat for sure. I absolutely hate to be around drunk people, which is actually one of the reasons, why I want to leave Denmark: This nation has a very unhealthy drinking culture for sure!

[@TeuluTribe]

No sorrows at all, just enjoy the taste of a beer every now and again!

[@bos6782]

The boat looks amazing, Its really come a long way from the day of purchase. Beautiful sailboat. You both have put a lot of hard work into the boat and it shows.

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much! Everyday is a workday 🤣

[@gavinparson]

A friend of mine built one of those in the 80s and lived on it for many years. I like the deck saloon and inside helm position. I don’t really get why so many yachts only have outside helms open to the elements

[@TeuluTribe]

Thats epic, yes, we love the light and airy saloon!

[@billd.3189]

Lovely boat, very bright and airy. Your engine room access is the envy of most mono-hull owners. I love your videos, very upbeat and informative. You did well with your purchase. Thank you.

[@TeuluTribe]

[@Soleille777]

Beautiful! I must have missed out on the information; what year was this boat built in? How old is she?

[@Maxillz]

Have you thought about putting telescopic legs on the main table so that you can lower it and put a cushion on it to make it an extra bed?

Nice Boat. If I could find one just like it, I'd buy it.

[@richardkelseykelsey6078]

We have a sole mini in our konsort. Great engines. Firm is based in Plymouth too. That's a lot of boat . How much was it roughly? Or is that sensitive info 🤔

[@TeuluTribe]

Oh cool- we didn't realise they were based in Plymouth! We are going to make a vid all about finances in the future 😊

[@RVmotoTravel]

No holding tanks? ..Just straight to sea only?

[@mehmetbekir444]

Will you talk costs

[@TeuluTribe]

We got her for a very good deal at around £38,000

[@hrvojebartulovic7870]

You didn't show your wine selection, you silly young teetotallers!?!!?!!!!?!?? Also... Where do you practice calligraphy? What do you mean you don't!? Don't you think it'd be nice(and appropriate) to send proper letters to your folks? That'd force you to think and construct your thoughts in the best possible way before you put out down on paper. That would also make it so much easier to put everything in a nice diary? Think in advance! Before you get old!!!!

[@TeuluTribe]

🧐

[@hofmeyrscholtz1069]

How old are you guys? I like the galley conversion. I don't know these boats, feels roomy for a 40 footer, great engine room. How can you not have a dingy!? Nicely done!

[@deanej1]

I am sure I missed it, but wasn’t your channel called Planet Becka? I hope “ Teulu Tribe” works out. Doesn’t’ that basically mean tribe tribe? (Sailing Saoirse changed their name away from their boat to their own because many people struggled to recall the name, spell or pronounce it. Though, personally, I don’t think this one is too tricky, despite the Welsh pronunciation potentially catching people out. Another possibility might have been “Becka and Zach do the planet”. Too long winded? ;))

[@TeuluTribe]

It was called Planet Becka 😊 Teulu is more like family- so I guess family tribe- we shall see and if down the line we realise its too hard to say we can always change it! 😊

[@kevscott8900]

I’m headed south in 33 days to buy my first sailboat. I’m currently in BC Canada. I’m very excited and I wanted to thank you. The information you provide is invaluable. I would be doing it anyway, but watching your videos is helping to reduce the stress associated with any large life change. (Did I mention I retired last week. 😆 ) Keep it up. Maybe I’ll see you around. 😎

We are so glad Paul! Haha yep, and it ebs and flows! Sometimes the boat is spotless but after boat jobs, it definitley doesn't look like that. Lovely thing about a boat though is how quick it is to put everything back in its place. We love it 😊 Yes will do an upgraded tour in the future. Have a great week too!

Oo good luck! Yes, will let you know if we ever need crew. Thanks 😊

She is beautiful…. Lots of cubby holes to hide/lose things in. Have you made an inventory of everything on board and where you will find it?

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks Andrew 😊 we will before we leave anywhere big!

Absolutely beautiful boat. Way bigger than I initially thought. And extremely well laid out I think. Can't wait to see you guys get out into the world. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks so much- yes, quite a few people who have come aboard have said she is a lot bigger on the inside than they initially thought! We are very happy with the layout 😊
