We Buy a SALVAGE SAILBOAT at Auction!? | Expedition Evans 1

Описание: Battered, Beaten, Bashed and Broken....Bought

Hi there!
We are Brett and Jade Evans. Welcome to the beginning of our live-aboard sailboat and Youtube journey.
We bought our dream boat, broken and wrecked from an insurance salvage auction.
Subscribe and follow along, we'll be posting weekly while we restore her and get her fit for a circumnavigation

We've been saving and dreaming of this moment for 5 years. We are grateful for all the Youtube channels that have kept us motivated and inspired all along the way, channels like, La Vagabonde, Abandon Comfort, Soulianis, Uma, Nandji, Delos, Odd Life Crafting, Finding Avalon, Youngbloods, The Wynns, Salty Mermaid, Wild We Roam and many many more. I wonder if there is a way to see how many hours we've spent watching sailing videos...probably better we don't know...
anyway, we're really looking forward to all the diy boat work, living the Boat Life and cruising the seas while living off-grid
It's exciting to post our first video and we hope you enjoy
Thanks for watching :)

with love,
The Evans'

Here's what we think we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See    • We Buy a SALVAGE SAILBOAT at Auction!? | E...   for how we came to own her!
