I completed my first 8 months of refitting my old sailboat Biber. He is now back in the water and I am enjoying sailing. Looking back at those intense 8 months of refitting I ask myself: what have I learned in this time? About boatworks, but also about myself.
But before diving into that, I want to give a quick recap of all the projects you've seen so fast - and all those you haven't seen yet. Like refitting the old engine, a 500ccm Wickström W1. Like putting in new through-hull fittings, replacing all hoses, polishing the hull, pulling a new cable into the mast, polishing the prop, winch maintenance and so on.
Here are some things which I mention in this video:
