Over the years I’ve come to terms with the fact that Sailing the world involves a very natural Ebb and flow between actually sailing and working on the boat. The ability to go on these adventures is a hard won feat, one that takes days and weeks, months, or even years of preparation.
Now Atticus II is in great shape. But all boats are constantly in need of some kind of maintenance or repair. UV from the sun, salt water, fresh water, metal corrosion, wood rot, humidity, Long periods of immobility mixed with momentarily gigantic forces all conspire to turn any actively cruising Sailboat into a loose cluster of breaking down systems.
I’ve often used the analogy that a cruising sailboat is a bomb with a lit fuse, every now and then we need to splice on a bit more fuse to keep the whole thing from blowing.
But this time around we’re going to have Isabella with us, so in addition to boat maintenance I’m going to be working on some improvements that will help me singlehanded the boat with minimal help from Desiree.
So now it’s time to stow our snorkel gear and hiking shoes, and to bust out the tools, so we can keep this bomb from exploding just a little bit longer.

i am about to learn english
A good tip for the next time you run into the hole saw problem. Use 2 hole saws on one arbor. One the size of the existing hole as a pilot to center the hole and one the size you want to make the hole.
Starret and bosch both make arbors specially to hole two hole saws at once. Starrett calls it an "oops arbor". We use them all the time.
It's so simple, no one ever thinks of it! You beat me to it. Put the new hole saw on first, and then the existing hole. That way the center can fit in the hole before the new saw makes contact. Maybe hole saws get shorter as they get wider so that solution works every time. The inner one is always longer???
Another option. With a piece of thin plywood, use the paper template for the new hole and drill the plywood for the new size hole. Also drill the small holes for mounting screws into the plywood. Then use the plywood as a drill fixture by attaching it to the bulkhead with the mounting screws. Now use the new size hole saw, and the plywood acts as a fixture to line up the saw in the correct place to cut the hole.
Yep, this is the solution
Great idea!!!
Jordan is so talented at the fixing projects. I enjoy watching the process and I'm thrilled I'm not the one crawling into the storage locker!
And at 193 cm tall, he isn't thrilled either.
I’m not a fan of boat yoga
You perfectly nailed the cruising lifestyle, head down and butt up doing boat maintenance in exotic places around the world. And it’s corollary that there’s no such thing as a simple project. Great job - both installing the battery charger, and documenting the trials and tribulations of the project.
Hi guys
I’m an electrician and as much I love watching electrical work being carried out on you boat and I really do lov your channel and videos, the best part of this episode for me was seeing your beautiful baby, she is gorgeous ❤️
Lee going Jordan great job with the electrical install👍👍
You may have noticed that the blue Euro plug got three pins as well as the charger input. You got a Live wire (230V@50Hz), a Neutral wire (return path) and a Protective earth wire (safety ground). The latter one is necessary for the function of a Residual Current operated Circuit-Breaker that you did not install and which is protecting you from an electric shock caused when some of the current travels through a person's body due to an electrical fault such as a short circuit, insulation failure, or equipment that is not working right.
Your two wire system works electrically O.K., your battery will get charged, but you need to install that Residual Current Device (RCD).
Great to see mom, dad and baby!
I wouldn’t presume to know what Nigel Calder would have to say on your improvised 220/50hz panel separation from the 110/60hz but it was a good step to increase the distance between the hot busses. Some sort of non-conductive isolator is probably an improvement to minimize the risk of an arc between the 2 flavors of AC. The most correct answer is to have separate panels but it’s a boat and we all get the constraints.
Glad to see y’all back.
The "Oh yeah, I am done now, I can relax.... Ops, no, baby" is EXACTLY how fatherhood feels XD
… for the rest of your life.
You have such a great attitude and personality for high risk/high payoff tasks and I am inspired by you. Not only as a handyman and sailor, but as a husband and father. I know managing priorities on dry land and at sea are different, but you have a consistent presence of mind that is thoughtful of your wife and child... which is only grown in the last few episodes. You are a gracious human, a good man, and a skilled provider for your family. You are a fortunate man, as well, as you are living the life of unknown adventure/calamity, and doing so with courage and wisdom. Desiree is an amazing complement to you and your skills; truly, you make each other complete. I pray for your health and wisdom as you navigate the uncharted waters of parenthood in the smallest apartment on the deep blue sea.
Thank you very much! This is very kind of you to say!
Love how well your electrical system is "dresses out". All the wires are to length and neatly managed!!! The alternate battery charger was a great solution - awesome : )
Jordan, another way to cut a larger hole without a centering bit is to drill the correct size of hole in some scrap wood... then use hot glue to glue the scrap on the outside and center it over the old hole. Place the larger hole saw in the scrap hole and cut it out. Then use a hammer to tap the scrap block off the fiberglass.
“Project” Atticus… continues to go by its name. Love how new projects take us back to the early days. Also reminds me, it’s time to get at projects around the house. Thank you guys for your latest episode. Love to all four of you! ❤️
"Project Continuous"... may be its Secret Identity.
Ya know that’s a thought maybe… maybe it’s time to change to carefree sailing and feel it maybe the projects would cease some
So impressed with the quality of the work you do on projects and your ability to document them for us. Especially now with the challenges of having a new baby on board. God Bless the three of you. (Four counting Osso)
Yah. What you said!
Jordan, one other small difference in doing your maintenance projects and my maintenance projects. When I am done, I can walk outside and I do get to see the same, absolutely stunning, mountain views of the Rockies, and you... well you get to see so many different and stunning views. 😁 I hope you take the time to enjoy all of those moments with your awesome family. Especially that beautiful little daughter of yours. Best wishes.
Yes project time! I know it's not your favorite. But it's mine! Thanks for filming.
That was a creative solution to get a battery charger on the 220V system. In Malta, a small business delivers an adapter 40 minutes before closing -- that is service when you need it.
Jordan I love the way you take pride in your work and do things the right way! ...much better than my measure once, cut twice approach to home repair! Ha
Hey Jordan. Next time you need to enlarge an existing hole.....take two hole saws and stack them together. Remove the drill bit from the center and put some washers between the two to offset the teeth. Put the existing size in the hole as the stabilizer and the larger saw will cut the new hole.
Good luck!
I am always amazed at your repair skills. I owned a boat (or worked on my dad’s boat) for 49 years, and rewired nab systems and lights plus lots of water systems, but nothing like your skill. You are awesome.
All in all, that electric repair/improvement was a huge blessing, as you found a leak and didn't know it was there! You killed two birds with one stone. Well done!
Absolutely!
Very accurate depiction of what real boat life is really like. Love you guys... hope you can make it back to Annapolis in the fall for the show.
Dear Buddies, congratulations on the baby. I hope you’re both doing well. One step at a time. ❤️
The boat project videos are always my favorites! Loved it.
Jordan is always so careful and fastidious. It's really an inspiration.
Boat Projects by Jordan are my favorite. Love that electrical panel!
To do boat projects and film it in such a nice way- Bravo!
As to the shower repairs, always a temporary fix until such time when there's a better place and time. From a master mechanic who has faced many a condition without all the proper equipment, supplies and time to do a job, for us fellers, you included young man, my favorite saying is......"always something". You did a great job with what you had available. Just making it work is how one builds character, experience and wisdom. This allows you to store that to which one learns into that memory bank of knowledge which turns into wisdom for the next stepping stone in life. Well done sir....
One of my favorite sayings is "disassemble in haste, reassemble at leisure."
Amazing... no curse words were used in the making of this video! Hang in there guys!
Just one more thing Jordon - I am an electrician (retired) please tape that white hot wire on your new breaker black or spray paint it black etc. so one day in the future you or someone else does not mistake it for a neutral wire. Yup be safe pal.
Another great video. Jordan your skills at troubleshooting issues is fantastic and your ability to install systems is amazing.
I was talking to Malcom Brewer in Camden, Maine, who built beautiful double ended skiffs and peapods, and I was telling him all the problems we had with our old Alden schooner when he looked at me and said, "Boats is grief." So glad you have accepted that fixin is part of sailin.
It amazes me how Jordan attacks what feels like virtually anything. Very inspiring.
One thing I always learned: no matter how many breakers you have, always attach shore-side last. First connect to boat, then connect to shore. Other way round can be dangerous.
Anouther great video in your new world as parents. I have recently been transferring old VHS tapes of pre kids and when they where young. Looking at them now I wish I had focused more on them with the future in mind. Little camcorders where so new and we where not used to video yet. Take as much as you can thinking about her when she is older than you today. I can’t express enough how much better video is than pictures. Especially any possible grandchildren seeing the video. I saw video of my mother next to me and we where just joking around. She was younger than I am today but died in 2005. I started to cry! I am so happy I could introduce her to my children as I remember her. Ya, I know, hard to wrap your head around that one.
Keep rolling Atticus crew! Great episode!! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Nice job. One piece of advice though, if no one has mentioned it, is to put a pin in the holes of the installed breakers (tying them together) to insure that both breakers are simultaneously moved to the on or off position. Keep up the good work. jmk
Jordan buddy. These are great videos. Real world practical work. Not full professional maybe but way better than bodging. Just inspiring. Informative. Interesting. Educational. Entertaining. Just great stuff. Bravo buddy. Bravo. It also shows how me how I could never do what you do. I would need crew and more. Good for you.
I can't believe you guys didn't think of having a plan for conversion on electricity that's kind of a shock to me. That's not me being critical, more of a compliment really. You are always very thorough.
The best project you have ever done, I actually followed the logic and now you can operate anywhere in the world. Here in Australia we operate on 240v so come on down!!!!
I do watch other really good Sailing channels but honest to truth Project Atticus Family is just lovely and my favourite... Thank you for sharing your kind journey.
Wow, thank you!
I love your boat projects and your realistic coverage of the hiccups along the way. Reminds me of me working on things around the house. I’m not the only one who has projects through me a curve ball.
Congratulations on the addition to your family.
We have followed y’all from close to day 1. What a great adventure and inspiring outlook you guys have.
Jordan, Welcome to Dadhood. It will take some time to adjust. Your doing great. NICE and needed project.
That was a lot of work. Well done Jordan. I almost choked on my drink when I saw your actual 'to do' list 😂
It's actually quite easy to make the hole bigger.
Put the new larger hole saw on the drill 1st then 'double up' and thread on a saw the size of to original hole.
The original size saw will end up sticking out a bit further than the new larger size and will centre the saw on the hole. Hope the makes sense for another time.
I think my favorite part about watching you guys, is your attitudes. Every problem has a solution and you never fail to find that solution.
Nice Video! Sometimes our hair can stand on end after the 6th trip to the store for a seemingly simple project. You won and the family wins too with patience
Love your blog - we’ve watched you for awhile now. We’ve got a 1984 Beneteau which we’ve sailed in the Bahamas and Great Lakes. We’ve done a ton of work on our boat. You might want to consider stripping and varnishing the wood trim in and around your head. If not, the wood will need replacing and that will be tricky. Pull out all caulking and replace after last coat of varnish. By the way love a lot of your tools. Also we hate butyl.
I really enjoy these types of episodes and appreciate the effort you put into creating them.
Brilliant trick to drill a bigger hole!!! This issue frustrates my husband all the time! I have to tell him!
Jordan you are the man. Love the videos, but man, no way I could have your patience.
You are amazing how you handle all your projects. You are particularly neat, organized, thoughtful, and creative. I think of all the sailing shows I watch your wiring is the neatest. You are extremely smart. I would so confused with all of the tangles of wires.
I cant wait to see you guys cruise with Isabella.😀
Well done. Those plastic water lines are susceptible to developing pin holes. My boat is 20 years old with no pin holes but new lines I’ve put in ….. pin hole leaks. There is something wrong with the new plastic. Make sure that when you have the electrical cabinet open next time that you clearly tag the 230 volt lines so you don’t in advertently cross connect. It is so easy to do and especially in 2 years time when you forget.
Regarding the caulking. You need to varnish the wood prior to caulking. Then when you caulk it, it will all be sealed.
So good to see you guys posting Life's newly expanded adventure's With Isabella. You three are so joyful to watch.
May Blessings Abound to you, Gary Larson
Every emergency repair project trumps any upgrade project.
And baby vare trumps all.
You're doing well to be making ANY progress, so Very Well Done ;-)
Jordan, that breaker you installed should be tied together so that a trip would disconnect both phases of the 220. A breaker meant for that will have the two switches tied together. I believe you can buy breaker ties that go between the two switches, but in a pinch, a small piece of wire through the two breakers should do the trick.
Thank you for keeping us updated 😊
Atticus Buddies! Keep on keeping on. Love to you all xxxx
Great video. Love the editing and Oso's DIY appearance.
Poor Jordan so much to do, you are amazing. Isabella in Italy sounds great, can't wait. Hi Desiree you look great 👍
Isa is so beautiful! You two are such great parents!!❤️❤️❤️
I think James said it best. The people waiting for perfection will never leave the dock. Love your vids
Alot of my motivation to refit my current dream boat (33' Hans Christian) comes from your videos. I have too many hobbies and projects so videos like this are seriously crucial for my motivation to get back out there and keep working. Love you guys.
Right!? I was happy to learn the trick of making the plywood jig so that you have something to center your hole cutter bit in!
@@DYoung-vt8pq absolutely!
Rules n Regs aside, I think you nailed it. I would have done the same. And butyl rubber, it's excellent, used it for years. Nice work y'all. 👍
My total empathy goes out to you as I watch you take on the endless boat updating,repair,and maintenance projects. And know the frustration level when those unforeseen obstacles inevitably surface during a project. Ownership of anything at the DIY level is for only the brave and the strong at heart. And you have that in spades! All the best to all four of you!
See Buddy I told you y'all would figure it out. Your first project accomplished with a baby onboard. I love how your baby G hushed and focused her eyes on you. You are already proving you have a daddy's girl. Momma you are seriously glowing. Being a mom truly suits you!
I noticed that too. :)
Cascading conundrums!!! And they ALWAYS begin with, "This should be pretty straightforward." It's all of us!! Mix it with a new baby...
yes....i am paying attention......much love to you and your family!.
Great electrical job!! It seems they never end! The baby is so cute. My wife had me back up the video so she could admire your beautiful baby. Keep up the great work!
a well traveled sailor once told me some sage advice...."Perfection never leaves the dock!"
Electrical work always stresses me out! This has been a great couple years watching! Ive never sailed in my life and I am terrified of the ocean but I would sail with you guys anyday!
can't believe it guys you are here in Malta , hope you are having good time .
You guys are so great! Be safe, Stay healthy, love your videos!
I truly admire your skills and knowledge! Look forward to seeing you in Iceland :)
You can screw smaller hole saw the size of the hole on after the size you need. It is the a giant pilot bit. Love y'all
Ah yes, drilling more holes in the boat! Just like Sam Holmes who we call Obi-Wan Ryobi. Great job on the power socket. We get butyl tape cheap here in NC from mobile home repair stores. Sam calls it "Beatle" tape.
This dude has an excellent voice for narration!
Dearest Sailing Project Atticus family, ⛵
So happy to see that Isabella is already a sailing boat baby! 😍
She is on her way to becoming a fully featured sailor! 😉
I can just picture her in a really pretty blue and white sailor uniform, with the lil' sailor cap. 👩🍳
But Daddy, try not to wake her up with your "projects". 🪛🔧
She is your number one project right now, she is the captain of your heart. 👶
Warmest hugs from aunt Ivy, all the way from Panama. ♥
Im glad your showing all the shity obstacles that get in the way of working from start to finish on just one boat-job.
And this always happens on many boat jobs to be done.
And this is why my wife says, "how long will this take.?" ..I don't know, as long as it takes...
Great video. Very talented. If you spray your shower with vinegar it will prevent mould.
Baby stuff is just awesome...I miss it so much.
You both are awesome! and Awesome parents! Thanks for sharing!
Sweet little Isa❤️ Thanks for the video guys!
Hi guys, I was next to your pontoon yesterday. Tried looking out for you but couldn't see you since your boat is quite to the end of it. Keep well.
At least higher voltage will work with the same or smaller wire than 110. Back in '93 I was building my own and home computers for others. Back then software was limited in abilities, and the mother boards had very small dip switches, so I got my 6 year old son with his small fingers to put the jumpers where I told him, that let to playing learning games on the computer, to him building his own and creating his own games. Today he is a graduate degreed programmer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Never underestimate your kid if you can get them involved in projects... You could have the next generation super yacht designer in your cradle...
While in Central Europe the mains voltage is 230V, in Malta it seems to be even 240V. We used to have 220V in CE, but that was around 30 years ago.
Thanks, someone pointing out the facts
So great to see both and Oso adjusting to life with your daughter. Best wishes for you all
I don't know how many picked it up BUT you do such a great job of wiring!. everything bundled and neat rather than just there. I'm very jealous. So much easier to find and trace things.
I follow you from Italy and I can’t wait to see you in my Country!❤️
Nice boat , good idea is to use inserts on all hot and cold pipework. Speed fit is good and easy to fix ,but inserts are cheap and you won't get leaks
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 on fixing the shore power electric problem. Jordan you are now ready to officially start your very own boat 🚢 repair business 👏.
Wish I was "old" like Jordan,......again.
😂
Will be purchasing a sailboat in about a year to live on with my husband and 2 kids. Could you please share a list of the necessary tools and things like butyl tape that are must haves on a boat? Also some tools you started your adventure with that maybe know you realize you just don’t need or use that often. This information would be VERY helpful for people like us who are still on land that are working to transition to boat life so we know what tools to start accumulating for our adventures. THANK YOU! I love watching your projects, adventures, and beautiful family.
I feel your pain when it comes to blind wrenching in tight spaces.
Jordan!! I completely and TOTALLY relate to trying to resolve one issue only to be “surprised” with other issues that suddenly appear that have to be dealt with first - LOL! The reality of boat life 😁 You took it like a champ and love Desiree and Isa’s cameos while your brain was loosing traction on what you were trying to explain. Way to go all of you!! Cheers from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦
Fun fact: SV Aribel spent 7 years in the Med with the previous owners! ⛵️
Love this video ... What a great family ... so much Love ... thank you for teaching me to be a better person ... your family is the best ... looking forward to next video ...
Another way to enlarge the hole is to drill the larger hole in to the plywood scrap first … then center it over the old hole from the top side and secure it in place. ( possibly with sheet metal screws into the flange mount holes) Then use the plywood hole to keep the hole saw centered as you drill through the fiberglass . All from the top side …
I probably would fab a cardboard template of the large hole and overlay the small hole and dremel grind to match
Dock a tote for the baby! It’s like a big pillow thing with sides and y’all can probably lay on it too. May be good with a moving boat.
Thanks as always for your attitudes, smiles and sharing your lives with us. And for a project show - watching you fix stuff is a welcome respite from my daily job stress for sure!
Jordan, a simpler electrical AC solution would be a 2:1 step-down transformer plus a crossover switch. 🤔 Most 60 Hz power loads will still run on 50 Hz provided the voltage is matched. Sharkbitten hat does electrical for a living... - Blessings, S/V Windwalker
