Highly functioning cruising sailboats are truly a work of art. They require so much time, effort, knowledge, and organization if they are to effectively do their job for thousands of miles of rough seas and hard use. There are so many systems that must work in harmony and it’s only a matter of time until every single one of them stops working. So the highly functioning cruising Sailboat needs regular maintenance and improvements, if it’s going to stand up to the difficult task ahead. Sometimes this is accomplished by tackling massive projects that have huge affects on our lifestyle, but most of the time this is accomplished by incrementally putting in the work, one small project at a time, over the course of years. Now one of the best things about sailing long distances is that you get to do that work in some pretty cool places. We’ll be spending the winter in Turkey and last week we spent some time getting to know this unique country. But now it’s time to get into project mode so that come spring, Atticus will be ready for another season of heavy cruising.

The Turkish people are great - As an Aussie their is a strong bond from WW1 and Gallipoli - mutual respect and great and generous words by Ataturk to the invaders "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace."
i just literally shed a tear reading this comment. thanks.
❤❤❤

You talk shit, those men died for nothing. Stop eating up the fake narrative of the politician. Those poor mens literally stood up to be killed because of politics. Not heros just cattle for the slaughter by the elites.
When we cruised Turkey, I ordered a 4 burner/oven which they installed for free. It was truly awesome to see the wife baking off watch on our passages. The problem was we both gained to much weight from all the food she was able to prepare.
Apparently, Turkey has all the boat maintenance/mechanics that a boat owner would need! You chose a great place to Winter.
Turkiye is one of the biggest yacht producers
Looks like top quality workmanship
The Turkish people are really friendly. Glad to see things haven't changed since I was there years ago. Our grandkids got a kick out of Isabella's butterfly safety harness. Great idea for her.
That's an awesome tool storage modification. Well done.
You guys are so amazing from producing ,to filming, your editing, the content. I just LOVE it all. Stay well be safe and many blessings.
These are not amateur videos, they are professional films. I prefer to watch good TH-camrs to TV shows or movies.
Good morning Project Atticus!! Love these early Saturday mornings in Canada getting to watch my favourite sailing channel before work. Have an amazing week!
My Dad was an executive chef for 40 years, and he told me "cooking is by taste, baking is a science" need to find a nice bread recipe....nothing wakes up a crew faster than the smell off coffe and fresh baked bread.
I work on a sea going tugboat. Quicker no knead bread works great at sea. Need an oven that goes to 450f though.
i have lerned that cooking is a bit of this and that to taste. baking is exact measurements, 1 cup of flour, what kind, loose or packed? it makes all the difference , Have fun Learning to Bake. 😎
Noticed you kept the propane oven stove. As a boat owner and cruiser, I think you made the best choice. However, most TH-cam sailing channels have been going the LiFePo and induction route. Would be an excellent vlog going through your thought process on this and why propane was the better option for you. As always, great vlogs!!!
I too wondered if induction wouldn’t be a more practical alternative (especially in the hotter climates)
Or perhaps just a single “hobb” to give options
You see YT channels remove propane. Make a video. Then it doesn't work out requires too much electricity, and then you see those boats later with propane again
Being one of those who removed propane and went induction. It is great for not having to do refills, worry about leaks etc... However, induction does take a ton of electric needs. If you have LiFePo, TONS of solar, alternators, etc... it works but at anytime your electrical system goes down, or you are having low batteries it sucks not to be able to cook. I think having propane is a good to have still.
I’d like to be able to make a cup of tea (a requisite tool) when the electrical system goes out. I’m a big believer in being able to get ahold of fresh water, cook a hot meal, and flush the toilet, even if the batteries or electrics die.
I have two 5 # propane tanks on my sailboat, and it is very gratifying and surprising how long my propane supply lasts.
Nice app translator , very good improvements you did find the correct persons… I’m Turkish 🇹🇷 born and living in Belgium 🇧🇪
First of all, you two are my favorite sailors!
I suffer from exactly the same issue with my boat tools. I fix most things myself, and it's a real pain diggin' out my tools for every different project. So I'm going to order the Bosch stackers and an everyday bag right away. I'm also in Turkiye right now on business. Hopefully it'll be there when I get back to Florida in a week or so..BTW, did you know there's an "East Marine " in Turkiye that sells West Marine products? Pretty cool!
Pediatrician here: I would find a way to prevent Isabella from sticking her head under the bottom of the gate you installed. Might be a choking hazard. Perhaps a large log pillow on velcro or some sort of lee cloth coming up from the bottom.
As a practitioner I was similarly worried that she could squeeze under feet first and get caught at her neck since children’s heads are proportionally larger than their bodies. A pool noodle cut in half sewn into a cloth figure eight, like a door sweep draft protector would probably work to protect that gap.
Great use of space I had on a Laser 28 - each step on the stairs lifted up to make a storage box . Top one was for all the stuff you need in the cockpit , like winch handles and sail ties .Bottom one is the biggest and for general use tools . Right there where you can get them in a rush .
To wake up to this give me flash backs of being a kid waking up to Saturday morning cartoons. Oh, what joy.❤
I love watching projects and upgrades. Cockpit cushions for Isa 🙌 great idea.
😀😀👍👍👍❤ One of the best solutions to hand tool storage I have ever seen! Bye for now from Seattle, WA. (Northwest USA)
Great craftsmen in Turkey your new storage closet looks beautiful and totally matches in with the existing design and finishes. What make is your stove? 👍
Absolutely awesome episode with all the "home" improvements !! I always enjoy all your projects and they turned out great including the great stove/oven. Look forward to more projects, stay safe and take care.
I love you guys! I'm so excited to watch Isabela grow. Safe travels ❤
Blessings to you all. Congratulations on your improvement projects.
We love watching you, I'm so happy you are in my country and exploring all the lovely features of Turkey!
Asking your daughter what she's gonna do with the tool was just about the cutest thing i've seen in a long time. You were so enthused at first and then your voice went to such disappointment when you realized she just wanted to eat it. 😂🎉❤
Nice work guys. I can't believe you were able to pair down your tools to such a small, neat solution. I might have to steal your idea.
I also love the cockpit padding. Great idea.
Enjoyed my coffee watching Atticus. Boat sure is coming along, Nice to have an oven. Isabella is so adorable, growing so fast, Thanks for the video. Looking forward to your adventures.
You must try making pizza in the oven. I am a holiday sailor and that is what I love to make on a sailboat because it really gets a nice crusty bottom in a sailboat oven. You just have to stack the toppings a bit differently: first the tomato base, then the grated cheese (so that it is very close to the bottom) and after that other toppings. Super good, highly recommend 😉🇫🇮⛵️
My favorite video so far! My bias is because in a former life, I was a home builder, home remodeler. LOVED your small hand tool organization solution. PLUS. I recently installed the identical baby gate in my home. My "babies" are actually Chihuahuas. I need to manage their access to parts of the house. I am not a sailor. The videos I like best are the project videos. So I'm looking forward to four months of projects!
Good move you guys hunkering down in Turkey for the winter and getting boat projects done there. Zatara got work done there also and found the work top notch and the prices reasonable. Upgrades so far look great, can’t believe you have been without an oven this long what a game changer. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
As always a great Saturday show.. thanks Jordan, Desiree, Oso and beautiful Isabella..
What is all of the wires and stuff next to the baby area and bed. She will be into that area next. Put a screen up like the one you just installed.
The war against tools is the only war worth fighting lol.
Also, that oven looks like perfection. What is the model?
Regarding how to keep and use tools on board and at sea I had the following "strategy" :
I have my "emergency" tools at hand as they are placed in an extra drawer under the chart table. Not very big but it has a large capacity because it is long . It contains : hammer, knife, screwdrivers, vise grip, wrench, pliers, wire cutters, Exacto knives, hacksaw, extra blades for all tools, scissors, spanners, some electric wire, splicer, and thread and needles, some tape and Ducktape, etc… plus the basic nut and bolts of the same size of those which are on deck, same with an assortment of screws plus a handful of galvanized nails (my boat is made of wood and plywood)… Spanners, wrenches, screwdrivers are only selected for the size of hardware that already on deck.
All the rest (and there is a lot) is stacked below in tool boxes with each tool wrapped in a cloth that has bee thouroughly oiled or greased. Wiping them when in use is sure a mild hassle but I was sick and tired of cleaning my tool off rust each year.
I think that division between "emergency" tools and the others is quite wise. At least it has worked for me : and the BONUS was that I realized that in the long run 80 or 90% of cases I only needed by "drawer" tools even when job was done ashore.
One solution to have a tool always ready at hand.
Cheers.
Oh man, perfect timing. We just hit a wall with the tool storage conundrum on our boat. I love your solutions! I might get the Veto Pro Pac first, and if (when?) our kit expands beyond that move into the Bosch boxes. I like the fact they could potentially be added one at a time. And I'm especially excited that we might have a great solution without going through a bunch of iterations. Huge thanks for the great suggestions.
Love how your voice changes when you’re filming during nap time ❤️
I have to work on my 28 year old sailboat literally every weekend to keep it in top condition. Which is tough when I am 65. I have replaced the entire plumbing system, the DC system, heating system, and refrigeration system. Plus engine maintenance, bottom paint and general cleaning and polishing.
At 8:15 in the video, I would get any dangling cables or cords away from the play pen area. You don't want that stuff around little kids and babies.
Oh my gosh. Isabella's harness with the wings!!! So adorable!
Good morning. SPA an coffee ☕️. So glad u got some help with all your projects. Love your additions to your beautiful floating home.
The thing i like most about Turkish craftsmen they don't act the job is too hard and try to charge extra fee like they do in US. They also have European standards so pretty much same quality with significantly reduced cost. It would be smart making all custom modifications in Turkey even if you can't leave again on time lol.
Make a cover out of the matching couch materials like a Amp cover and it will look better.
All the new improvement look great!
It’s alway nerve racking when pulling out the boat.
Isabella is so adorable and growing up so fast.
I think it’s great that she has the opportunity to experience boat life.
My Granddaughter loves being on my boat. She had been learning to drive the dinghy around the harbor. At first she was apprehensive however that soon changed and now focused and does a great job.
Really enjoyed the video. Wishing you the best winter ever! 💗
Great video as always. One idea: Try exploring using less music in the background, especially when Jordan is just explaining stuff. I think it would calm the videos a little bit, and at the same time pronounce scenes when you do use music ❤
U two are the best!.An ur little baby girl is so precious!.Awesome Channel. Keep the videos Coming!
I love love love how excited you are about your tool set up!!! Congrats!
Thank you for sharing
You should all get matching harnesses with Isabella, butterfly wings and all. Oso included.
@ProjectAtticus With the new stove and the mobile baby, think about Isabella making the stove swing and tipping the contents of pots and pans on top of herself. Keep the stop locked anytime you do not need it to swing. The same issue exists in homes when the baby crawls up on the open stove door and tips the stove over causing the contents of post on the burners to fall on the child. This happen far too often with tragic results. Thanks for the great channel.
got me a lot of good ideas - thanks!
Loving all the new episodes. I'd say that your project selection for this season in on point.
Amen!
⚘️ 🙏❤️🙏 ⚘️
great work guys looking great and yes the stove looks fabulous and the rest is coming along just wonderful
You guys are the sailing trifecta, love watching you thrive!
I sold appliances to builders, and gas ovens have a steeper learning curve compared to electric. Package directions may allow items to burn, so you have to watch until you get used to adjustments. I have one in my camper and we will use a toaster oven whenever possible...
A boat, like an airplane, or even a house will stay in better condition when being used than sitting empty in the water or on the ground. Projects are part of the reason, but even without maintenance, they still need to be used.
Also anything today needs more maintenance than 100 year age because they have far more systems to make life and navigation easier and more comfortable.
I love how part of the organize all the tools project was buy more tools. That's basically the only step to my tool organization process and that's why last time I moved, it took the movers a day to move all the stuff in the house and then a second longer day to move everything in the garage.
I like that y’all are trying new format to keep it fresh and young… just keep it you guys
Dang that tool box system looks awesome. Our neighbour has an inset removable tray built into the top step for his main tools which is nifty
Calvin and Karen from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 watching. Love your projects.. A precious little girl ❤
Nice to see you have lots of progress
Why would you not get the Milwaukee packout? Way more options and much better solution.
Since I’ve been with you guys from the beginning I kinda feel like I know you both. And now with the cutest baby in the Mediterranean I look forward to every Saturday morning. Now, having said all that, I sure wish the videos were a little longer. Most other sailing videos seem to shoot for ~ 30 minutes. Either way I’m hooked.
Find your shows very interesting, near the top of my list, ❤ you guy's. Wishing you all the best from NZ.
Great tool spaces & safety for Isabella…oven bonus…great idea to hire help which lowers stress … love your channel 🇨🇦 ❤
Great video. We are in Salvador, Brazil, sailed from Mindelo, Cape Verde, being a good stop. You are going to regret not crossing the equator, respectfully suggesting an early January departure from Mindelo, making it to Salvador in time for Carnival in February, perhaps founding an event called: ARC+Brazil.
❤ the video. Lots of progress on the project list. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Great video and great ideas on organizing tools. We added a pizza stone to the bottom of our oven to moderate and even out temps. It made a Huge difference for baking.
Enjoy all your videos. Thanks for sharing
Always the best, keep up the organisation inside the boat it makes everything better and keep the wife happy
Fantastic up grades and you're 100% right to allow the Pro's in to do the work ... BUT ... Every child I've ever know have out smarted their parents engineering skills at trying to keep them safe, my money is on Isabella to come up with an escape plan. No doubt you have your own anti escape solutions in place and I wish you luck with them. As always ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!! ☘
Great video! Wow you have some cool ideas and the quality of work looks great! Cookies look good too!
Wonderful upgrades, especially the new stove! (I’m excited.) 😎🥰❤️❤️❤️🥰😎
baking is mostly chemistry, accurate measurements are important, the rest is touch, sight , and confidence.....example: after making 200 pizzas from scratch, I now make a perfect dough / crust.....it was always passable, but now it is perfect. If you enjoy cooking you will become a great baker with experience. Cheers guys
Yes!!! This is a huge thing when dealing with a boat. I’ve been looking at making more sewn fabric tool holders. I dig that lock in Bosch idea. Might even become a backrest at the nav station on my passport 40.
The retractable baby gate is good, but its flexible bottom edge over a mattress creates a potential escape route--I suspect a determined toddler could wriggle under the gate. You might want to add a board at the end of berth to block that route if she does seem likely to escape that way.
I was concerned the flexibility of the bottom with a mattress could be a safety hazard. It’s hard to tell from our limited view. Former trauma nurse so tend to see life with worse case scenarios. Sorry ❤
Beautiful!
I so enjoyed your videography and editing on this episode, It seemed next level to me. Always enjoy watching you guys! ❤ And I liked your hat Jordan!
Thanks very much
Those Bosch stacking tool boxes are awesome, and the Wera tools look top notch. Great shouts - thanks!
Perfect Episode! Size iyi eğlenceler!!!
Beautiful boat, great setup for storage of tools and parts, and baking has always intimidated me due to the science. I cheated and bought a bread machine. Keep those videos coming !!!! Thanks
WOWZA!! That was one fully loaded video! A lot covered and already completed work. I am very interested in list of the tools you decided to carry in that new bag and links to review and purchase. Wow… can’t wait to see the next one.
I'm happy for you three. A well deserved 👏
I would be a little concerned about her trying to squeeze between the mattress and the bottom of that mesh gate and getting stuck, and possibly choking if her head gets stuck. I almost think a toddler bed rail tucked under the mattress would be safer. Sorry for the unsolicited advice but I couldn’t NOT say anything. Maybe add a bed rail there to keep her from doing that?
Sailing La Vagabonde used a pack-n-play type pop-up tent thing that zipped open on the side when Lenny was a baby. They just put it right on top of the mattress.
Hi Isa/Jordan. Yes, your tools are very important, Jordan. They will probably save your lives someday. I hope you enjoy Turkey while your there. I love the Screen. Baby is going to love that lol. Well done for trying to learn a different language. Im useless at languages, lovely dodger and cushions. Anyway Stay safe and healthy now you have a little one to take care of lol. Chat soon Guys ⚓️🛟🇨🇮
Try an induction cooktop (120 volt); they are very enegy efficient and do not
waste energy heating up the interior space. The cooking pots must be induction
capable (or cast iron works well) Many pans, especially European, are induction
capable and they are not expensive.
You will toss out your propane system - and worries. Induction cook tops are very
controllable and very fast in both heating up and cooling down. Try a single burner
(about $75.00) or a double burner ($140-200). I used a Cuisinart for several weeks
while remodeling our kitchen -- then bought a 4 burner induction cooktop and
prefer it to the premium gas cooktop we had been using. (The 4 burner is 240 volt)
I lost it when the technician said to test it with a lighter. 🤣🤣
Ahoy there sailors! In Türkiye there’s a saying which goes “Don’t consider yourself sired unless you have a daughter”. And you guys are raising that adorable princess as a salty sailor!
You should take up scuba diving too, if you haven’t already. My old man owned a boat and I know how hard it is to keep one. If I ever would brave owning a boat, I’d make sure that she doubles as a diving platform.
I love the new canvas
lots of great ideas and upgrades
Looking good!
Thank you for these ideas. I live on a 51 foot houseboat but storage space on any vessel is always a premium.
such satisfying upgrades!!
I absolutely love y’all’s channel. I’m seriously thinking about becoming a patreon soon. I like it that much.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi folks, This was a fun informative episode.
And so many Things to repair Or install, Thanks so much and catch you in a wake, Adios❤❤❤
Thanks for Sharing
I spent 30 years fixing computer and always had a soft sided tool bag. Beautiful.
We’ve had the Bosch tool storage system on our boat for about 6 years and are so happy with it. We also extended the dodger sides for extra protection. The only issue is that we instinctively grabbed the trailing edge of the canvas extension as a hand-hold when entering and exiting the cockpit. So, we added stainless steel tubing to the dodger structure that follows the slope of the canvas down to the combing cap. Problem solved. Sail-on!
Very nice upgrades. Glad you found the muffler. I had one fabricated out f stainless. Check the muffler and pipes as well.
Love you 4. With you for many season's 😊
i HAVE TOO many TOOLS!!!!!! Love Isabella's new digs!!!!...you went from doing side jobs sewing canvas....to HIRING people to Do it for you!!!!! I would say you came a Long way Baby!!!
Tool organization😱 the struggle and the battle is real. Well done.
