Web series / Assessment of 7 months of restoration work on Hugo's sailboat


With a little delay, Hugo delivers this episode about his sailing in the Balearic Islands on his Écume de Mer. The opportunity for him to answer the many questions about his renovation project: organization, time, budget

In this episode, Hugo makes us enjoy his sailing in the Balearic Islands in autumn. The weather was mild (but not hot) and the anchorages were deserted. He shares this moment with his Dad who often came to assist him in the restoration of his Écume de Mer.

It is precisely on this work that Hugo makes a point in this episode. After 7 months of intense work (12 hours a day), he can now sail his boat. He announces a budget of 13 000 euros, a budget he had planned smaller. He considers that we always exceed our budget by 25%. For the timing, it is necessary to multiply by 3 (x3) the planned time to have the time spent.

Finally, he says that the choice of the Écume de Mer is a good one. The boat's nautical qualities, especially in heavy weather, reassure him and having completely rebuilt it himself allows him to know its strengths and weaknesses inside out.
