While crewing on superyachts, Jordan and Desiree met and realized their aspiration to own a sailboat. They bought a 1963 Allied Seawind and in 2014 started the process to refit and remodel her into a seaworthy craft. Admittedly it had a few flaws…no faucets or water tanks, a non-functional stove, dead as a doornail engine, leaks, bad rigging, and frayed sails. With a few temporary and part-time jobs to help finance the project, they arduously learned how to make the necessary repairs and upgrades they wanted, with some failures along with the successes. Tapping into videos and books by others who underwent the same transitions, after three years, Jordan and Desiree had a sailboat fit for the ocean and were on their way. Renamed Atticus, the couple now are following their dream and are making videos of their own. Follow along on their next adventure.
