Plumbing, propulsion & putting STEADFAST back together
I did a little whoop-dance heart-skip after taking a good, hard look at all the projects that have come to conclusion at the beginning of 2026. I wanted to create this short photographic journey through the last few weeks because, well, —after months and months—she looks like a liveable, trustworthy, seagoing vessel! Did I say that loud enough? I hope so.
Sometimes it’s hardest to realize what’s closest to you, right? We all do that, so I stepped away and upon my return I realized that even more hard, complex work had been tackled and tamed, bringing STEADFAST to the final stretch of our long, windy tunnel, discussed so many times on these weekly pages. There is a light, and I can see it. We’re not done, but the end is (REALLY) (pretty) near.
Please feast your eyes on these examples; they are the most striking to me.












We’ve come a long way. And I’m so glad you’re with us.
Until next week, Happy March! ~J
GOT NUTS?! I bet ours are bigger….we can discuss that next week, too, if you wish…..
…and always maintain your sense of humor.
You can help save a piece of maritime history by liking, restacking & signing on for adventures far beyond the re-launch!







Welcome back. The level of work is amazing. Such determination and drive to keep at this project. STEADFAST YOUR ONE LUCKY AND LOVED BOAT.
What a feeling! So much to be proud of and excited about. Your nuts are definitely bigger.
