Every few months we plan to restore a sailboat. We'll take you through each and every step in video and with accompanying articles. We'll bring in the experts, create a budget and find the right people to work on the project.

In addition to restoring our own sailboat, we'll stop in at various boatyards and talk with individuals who are also restoring or doing major and minor repairs to existing boats of other types.
