Crucial work on our wooden sailboat's rudder — 158 weeks into Sailing Yabá's restoration

Bringing Yabá from wreck to dreamy! Episode 158

In this episode of our boat restoration, we finally finish the mechanism that connects the helm to the rudder.
We had started working on this system, however, we felt like some upgrades were needed.
Now our steering mechanism is stronger, more reliable and a lot more organized than before.
we can now move on to the next step to get Yabá ready to launch!

💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.
