Sv Oiysh

This is channel will revolve around our sailboat Oiysh and the journey we are on with it.
This amazing boat is our home and transportation but more importantly our teacher and our lifestyle, so we try to grow and evolve along with her which takes many shapes and forms.
We learn new lessons every day and get new inspirations so if you want to come along for the ride we welcome you dearly but we do not promise anything. If you choose to stick around we are grateful for your time and hope you enjoy it as much as we do ;)

Sv Oiysh is a 1985 Bruce Farr design, 40 foot, Australian build retired racing boat.
We started a first major refit in October of 2019 after realizing that ,what we thought was a simple case of a leaking stuffing box, was actually a much bigger issue.
