A liveaboard sailor reflects on three years of full-time life aboard a 1973 Albin Ballard, a 30-foot racer-cruiser, while outlining winter maintenance plans for a 1987 Warrior 38 named Athena.0:26 The Albin Ballard lacks standing headroom and a dedicated head, but remains a simple, affordable home.3:58 Maintenance on the Albin Ballard has been minimal, limited to a broken freshwater foot pump and a faulty fridge thermostat, both of which the owner bypassed rather than repaired.2:54 The focus shifts to the Warrior 38, currently stored on the hard for winter.7:58 Completed summer projects include osmosis treatment, deck work, and applying KiwiGrip to the cabin top.8:31 Winter tasks include installing a new diesel tank, servicing the engine and sail drive, and investigating structural issues beneath the cabin sole, nicknamed "the Joker."11:07 Further plans involve inspecting the steering pedestal, building a new rudder, and removing the aft head bulkhead to enlarge the space.12:24 The owner chooses to keep the boat in the yard rather than a heated shed to minimize costs.9:40
