S/V Free Spirit T-ShirtNext Level 3600 | Premium Ring-Spun Cotton T-Shirt
$26.99 What a nice surprise today. We received an email with a few photos from the Yacht Rigger. He was able to put up 3 of the 4 sails on today. Wow does Free Spirit look ready to go now! We are hoping to be able to shut off the motor and sail her home once we clear out of the marina and the channel. It would be so cool to see her in all her glory once again. We can't wait to get some more sailing time in and start enjoying this amazing sailboat and have some exciting new adventures.
Well the day has finally arrived! Today is the day that we splashed in the water. The engine was finally running and everything looks good. We decided to leave Free Spirit in the water for an extra week rather than trying to take of tomorrow. We needed to ensure there were no leaks or water seeping in. Luckily, while a stressful day, all went as planned. There is nothing more stressful or scary than to watch your beloved vessel being hoisted and carried away and praying that she doesn't fall out of the slings and onto the ground. They added an extra rope on the bottom in order to keep her stable during the move from the hard ground to water. She sat in the sling for about 2 hours before we moved her 250ft to her temp slip for the week. We will have finishing work to complete before she sails home next week.
Our YouTube Channel is now live and we have posted several videos and have had one live stream event. Join us each Friday as a new video is released to show the progress of Free Spirit. This week was a huge a milestone as we moved from So FL to Palmetto to begin the retrofit process on the hard.
Join us for the adventure and journey as we strive to "Never Stop Learning" throughout this process.
Well he have been making some slow progress on the boat as we have been waiting for 2 months to get the new engine. We had done everything we possibly could to make Free Spirit water tight and sea ready. Now comes the fun part. The masts are just about ready to be installed and yesterday we picked up the "new to us" engine from Yachts & Diesel in Fort Lauderdale. This has been a long and very tiring process to get us to this point but this is now comes the exciting part. The engine is home with us and we will get her installed and get the masts stepped and sails on. Super excited to see the next transformation and to get us to the next step.
Join us for a live streaming Question and Answer session today at 3pm. We will answer all of your questions, provide complete status of the boat with progress thru last weekend and what is next on the project list.
