Episode 12 - Restoring 80 year old 40’ Wooden Boat into a liveaboard ⚓

Here’s the twelfth installment as I document the journey of transforming a dilapidated 40’ wooden boat into an offgrid liveaboard. The boat is a 1940 seaplane tender which was originally used by the Royal Air Force during WW2. The hull is built of double diagonal mahogany planks and oak supports. My parents bought this boat over 25 years ago and used it for weekend trips up the lake. But unfortunately as they became busier with work it was left idle for many years falling into disrepair. So I’ve started to invest time into repairing the boat and to transform it into a cosy sustainable home.
