The Digital Mermaid | The Boat Work Starts! - Electric Sailboat Conversion (Ep. 32) @TheDigitalMermaid | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
It's been a busy summer of learning; sailing, boat life, and making plans. This video covers the first actual work on the boat! The shaft log was close to failure, which could have sunk the boat.
