Sustainable Sailing
Dave and Jane's journey towards live aboard sustainable sailing on a 1977 Rival 38 Centre Cockpit Yacht.We focus on showing
- the practical progress of the refit
- Boat Refit Tips
- Exploring Low Footprint sailing options and benefits (low footprint in terms of Planet, Health and Finances)
We have memberships (and accept donations) using Ko-Fi see ko-fi.com/sustainablesailing
We bought Vida at the end of August 2019 with a sound hull, deck and rig but the survey condemned the whole gas system, the mains electric, and one of the seacocks. Almost all the equipment is original and best described as either tired or broken. We also knew there was significant water damage from leaking windows and various deck fittings (later we found that the headlining was very wet in places having absorbed lots of the incoming water).
Our refit is radical, including aiming for zero fossil fuels, full dyneema rigging, and with many interior layout changes.
