S2E41 itty bitty boat projects all add up (Dominican Republic)
July was a super productive month! I was waiting pretty much all month to get the boat re-blocked, but it worked out because I was able to putter around on other projects that I was planning on doing when the boat was back in the water. Now when the boat goes back in, I’ll have less work to do! I’m almost to the end of my boat projects. Splash is right around the corner.

😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀
Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place! Follow me as I experience all the hard and fun times of this lifestyle. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.

S2E40 Diesel maintenance isn’t so bad after all (Dominican Republic)
มุมมอง 12K21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
There’s a lot of behind the scenes that I don’t show in this video, mostly information that I learned along the way, like… typically you start the motor and run it before you change the oil. I’ll probably change the oil again when I put the boat in the water, maybe. Maybe not. Other than that, the diesel maintenance is done! *Join the Saiing Artha Tribe:* patreon.com/sailingartha *Help and Supp...
S2E39: an unexpected setback: removing a pesky rudder pintle (Dominican Republic)
มุมมอง 24K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
I edited this video and am in the process of re-uploading it. I’ll send out a notification when it’s complete. When I learned about the older alloy of bronze used for my original rudder hardware, I decided to order all new pintles and gudgeons for the rudder. The bottom gudgeon (also known as the rudder shoe, except mine is an actual gudgeon) was completely cracked, which is what prompted me to...
S2E38 my mast gets stepped!!! (Dominican Republic)

The mast got stepped today! It’s keel-stepped and I’ve secured it via the running rigging until the boat splashes, the bowsprit is repaired, and the bumpkin is installed. Then I’ll finish building and tuning the rig. Big thanks to Martin, Austin, and Brock who helped me so much in getting the mast to this condition, to Craig and Dylan who did an amazing job with the step (the mast fit perfectly...

    Hi Nicole! Like your drive 💪🏻 I decided to buy a hans Christian boat and start sailing to. I had a stroke 10 year ago tierd every day but you inspired me with your drive I had before my stroke,but I realize that I have 2 options. Today I day trade 30 minutes a day and my goal is to bye my boat and sailing 2025. Thanks for inspiration 🙏🏼❤️

    TH-cam will sometimes throw you a video recommendation that’s completely off in left field compared to what you usually watch but sometimes what you get is amazing. Glad I caught your videos. You remind me so much of a girl I used to work with way back in the 90’s. We were best friends. We did everything together. Went to lunch every day, we car pooled, we went hiking all the time. But then she had an opportunity to start a new business and she left. I missed her so much. We had so much in common. Anyways. Nostalgia trip for me watching you work on that boat. She drove a Jeep and was always working on it. One of our coworkers owned a boat and we had to make an emergency trip to the lake to winterize it at lunch one day. A frost warning was coming. She and I rode in the back seat like a couple silly teenagers. Anyways. Best wishes and I’ll keep watching your progress.

    Hope that wasn't solar charges screwed on to hull. Better on a board. Engine mountings really so important. Have to be 100% for emergency use. Needle files can file bent over threads. 2nd cut, bastard file handy to save spending. Keep good care of tools as out in the ocean that's all you have. Swimming will help knee but not to much.
