What this video covers

Jair and Bruna live aboard the Caboges, a 37-foot French-designed Bully de Soleil sailboat, after transitioning from a land-based life in Porto Alegre, Brazil.0:16 The steel-hulled vessel features a retractable keel that adjusts from 1.5 to 2.2 meters, allowing for versatile navigation in the Guaíba and Lagoa dos Patos regions.1:41 The boat carries 500 liters of water and 160 liters of diesel, though the owners typically supplement these capacities with additional jerry cans for longer passages.1:18 With three tons of lead ballast stored inside the hull rather than in the keel, the boat maintains a comfortable, stable motion in waves, though it is not a high-performance racer, averaging a cruising speed of approximately 4.5 knots.1:46 The couple moved onto the boat temporarily while waiting for a house purchase to finalize, but they remained aboard permanently after the construction project faced a two-year delay.6:23 Extensive structural repairs, including addressing corroded steel plating, have been required throughout their seven years of ownership.4:34
