Cosa tratta questo video
Brittni and Ryan are searching for a larger replacement for Sunday, their recently sold liveaboard sailboat, while traveling south through the US East Coast in a refurbished fifth wheel. The primary boat-shopping targets covered are a Taswell 56 in St. Augustine — mid-construction after failed cockpit drains caused interior flooding, with steep companionway stairs that would be impossible for their aging dog Jackson — and a Reliance 44 named Soulmate, owned by friend Ashton, a 1978 hull with a brand-new Bader Marine engine at 66 hours, full rigging redone within four years, listed at $40,000.24:13 A second St. Augustine boat, priced attractively but dismasted and knocked over on the hard stand, had mold throughout and was rejected outright.11:05 A 90-foot boat in the USVI was ruled out remotely as too costly to restore.22:13 Ashton's Mason 53, a hurricane-damaged boat that laid on its side and was rebuilt from the ground up, is also inspected.25:25 Between boat viewings, Ryan replaces deteriorated body mounts on the truck, fabricating a repair using a stainless steel chain plate from Ashton's workshop, and the crew gets custom vinyl graphics applied to the fifth wheel at a St. Augustine printing company.5:54 Jackson's mobility on companionway stairs and in center cockpits is the deciding factor eliminating otherwise appealing boats.10:40
