S1E35. 5 Hours on ONE Winch?! | Sailboat Refit Reality, Grease Nightmares & Boat Life Lessons

Описание: Some boat jobs take 30 minutes.
Others take five hours, a razor blade, and your sanity 😅

In this episode, we dive headfirst into real sailboat refit life — pulling down sails, tearing apart winches, and discovering some of the worst hardened grease I’ve ever seen. What should’ve been a simple winch service turned into a full-day battle with decades of neglect… and there are still 11 more winches to go.

This is raw, unplanned, hands-on boat work — the good, the bad, and the “why did I start this today?” moments. From time lapses and greasy bearings to future plans for running all sail controls back to the cockpit, this video shows what it really takes to bring an old sailboat back to life.
