What Happens to a Sailboat after 10 Years of Living Aboard? | Sailing Wisdom [S6 Ep1]

[@drblaze3850]

As everyone knows the quickest way to get anything done is with an 80's montage

[@Tim8mit]

Maddy love the hair cut.....looks fabulous....that is a lot of cleaning

[@goneswimming5636]

Ah! I am falling behind on my videos. Wisdom looks amazing and I am sure it feels good to purge some of the "no longer necessary" goods cluttering her holds. Maddie, love the new short "do" and motherhood looks great on you. Stay well and stay happy. As always - from B-more with love

[@bobbrown9158]

Boat purge, I remember doing it and kept saying, oh, I was wondering where this was and ah, I've been looking for this forever. and why am I storing this. For some reason purging for me is mentally satisfying. From the looks of it, good call on the new chainplates. Congratulations.

[@RiggingDoctor]

It has been very cathartic

[@OMIF1]

The difference is remarkable! Looks great.

[@carenclemmons5002]

Damn glad to see yous guys. The boat looks awesome. Thanks for letting us see the sweetest baby’s head. He obviously knows how marvelous his folks are. I’m so excited about the switch in priorities back to Wisdom. She’s such a good sea parent to you. Make her glow like she’s pg. see ya later.

[@stefantieken]

Great job guys, she deservices it

[@RiggingDoctor]

[@bobcornwell403]

Internal chain plates to external chainplates seems to be a steady theme on sailing videos I watch. Designers of future cruising sailboats beware. The only advantage of internal chain plates is tighter sheeting angles for the headsails.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Which is great if you are racing to windward. For a cruiser, going upwind means you made a mistake in the route planning!

[@carenclemmons5002]

@@RiggingDoctorExcellent observational wisdom coming again.

[@Tzphardi]

After a deep clean of my own beloved rig I appreciate these cleaning videos all the more! Love seeing wisdom again.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Right on! It’s so nice to be back where it all started

[@PyeGuySailing]

Sad fact...tonic water doesn't contain the same amount of quinine it use to. It's ineffective at preventing malaria nowadays. But..on the bright side, there's no harm in trying 😉 gin and tonic are delicious

[@RiggingDoctor]

Especially with a little orange peel in there!

[@PyeGuySailing]

@@RiggingDoctor yum

[@mikeh720]

"ineffective"? you just need to drink more :)

[@barrywarren4221]

Deep clean is what Wisdom needed, Wow. Another great video. Come on warmer weather.

[@RiggingDoctor]

I can’t wait! Once it’s warmer we can gove Windpuff that butt extension 🥳

[@user-ho9cz9lo9f]

Lovely to nearly see the whole family. We would love to see your little one? It's going to be wonderful for you to all sail as a family. Really special. Much love and blessings to you all. Rita and Malkuta. From across the pond UK

[@webheadusa9377]

Great idea! A total boat makeover show. It's done with houses, backyards and cars, so why not sail boats? :¬) Webhead USA

[@stevenm6592]

Hey good to see you 2 oops 3 again. Aaahhhmmmmm Can I get you to clean my boat?🤣 I do love the bamboo work on the cabinet doors, I have the same old what ever it was called on mine now. They always look dirty.

[@jerylabrams8408]

Hey Maddie & Herbie, I see a lil of Harry, he is getting big, and seems very content! Wisdom is looking good, but that cane work on those doors is perfect! Finding stuff that you accumulated for those years must have brought back memories for ya’s. She is a big boat, and hiding those treasures, priceless. I love your haircut and new color? You have a great facial structure for long and short hair. That would be something I would do when I am ready to chop it off. Great video, 👍😎⚓️⛵️🥰

[@RiggingDoctor]

Everything got a fresh start 😎

[@Building_Bluebird]

That was a pretty remarkable and visually satisfying cleaning montage. Amazing the change that some elbow grease can make. Looking forward to seeing how you guys bring Wisdom back into top form again!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks :)

[@Estwing22]

Short hair looks nice.

[@jeffdayman8183]

Great to see you guys! Glad you're doing the cleanup maintenance on S.W. , the time comes when you have to. Re external chainplate change video - don't miss the opportunity for a sensationalist title to feed the mighty algorithm. Maybe "The real story on our ex's!" (external chainplates, that is) "Sailing ruined our internals" (internal chainplates that is) 8^) Cheers!

[@RiggingDoctor]

We will keep those pun-ny titles in mind 🤭

[@jeffdayman8183]

👍@@RiggingDoctor

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

To rummage - to strip all the stuff out until the boat is empty. Supposedly an annual event for laying up but just how many seasonal sailors do it? For live aboards, well, just when is the right time?

[@RiggingDoctor]

You know it! There is no space to “put it somewhere else while you clean through a locker” and you are in perpetual use.

[@williamstreet4304]

Gin And Tonic may be perfect for long distance sailors. It prevents malaria if you are in those regions. And it supports the insanity of long distance sailing. I'd never thought of it that way.

[@RiggingDoctor]

Kind of explains why sailors love them for sundowners!

[@jwebster5840]

Hendricks Orbium Gin is now infused with quinine so you don’t need to add tonic water!

[@RiggingDoctor]

Helpful knowledge for anyone sailing to the tropics! Sundowners can also be medicinal 😉

[@Building_Bluebird]

​@@RiggingDoctoras if another reason was needed for a sundowner LoL

[@serenecandle]

You look great! Love your hair! I missed why you're not showing your baby? I think I missed some important episodes a while back.....

[@RiggingDoctor]

Thanks! We didn’t want to become categorizad as a family/kid sailing channel and we don’t want Harry to have a strong internet presence at this age. It’s mostly for privacy :)

[@serenecandle]

Understandable. But congratulations!!! ❤

[@thebermudaangle9958]

Cleaning is an ongoing process...especially when living in such tiny area with animals!

[@RiggingDoctor]

It never ends

[@melinda5777]

Looks naked!😂😂 But really good. Haven't seen it like this since Terceira! ❤❤❤

[@RiggingDoctor]

It’s been well overdue

[@jeffgriglack9624]

I like how you had Herbie, the taller one, clean the floors and the bilge, and Maddy, the shorter one, clean the ceilings. Which one of you was in management before sailing? :)

[@RiggingDoctor]

Government management to be precise 😂🤣

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

A long list of repairs before watching. 😉

[@RiggingDoctor]

That’s boat ownership!

[@elsamach5616]

Heyyyy find any bilge cheese in there… hubby wants to know if it ever worked or yous chucked it ? Vijay looks good.

[@RiggingDoctor]

We didn’t find any because we ate it all! It works very well and is a delicious treat while underway.

Lol as i am living on my sailboat a fly lands on my screen as you are cleaning your sailboat. Maybe i am due...

another episode demonstrating a total commitment to each others hairstyles but at least we found out the cause, alcoholism

[@RiggingDoctor]

Im so confused by this comment

[@MrBertHeylen]

A big clean-up. It's necessary. How can you let a boat get so dirty? Ever heard of daily maintenance.

[@RiggingDoctor]

If you are lifting the floorboards to vacuum and wiping down the walls and cabinets liner daily, then you are not sailing enough!

[@MrBertHeylen]

what is the make of your gear hammocks? they're rad.

[@RiggingDoctor]

This is a link to them: amzn.to/49LryAw They are awesome!!

[@heymatthewlee]

So the doweling is custom? That's the part I really like. Most of the hammocks come too large for use in small boat spaces@@RiggingDoctor

Next week you should do it with the word “chainplate”

After a clean up you cut your beautiful red hair. ?

Agreed, but it really helps the channel
