MJ Sailing - Invidious

MJ Sailing

Sailors turned DIY boat builders—documenting our journey of building a fiberglass catamaran for long-term cruising and inspiring others to dream big!

After circumnavigating the North Atlantic on Serendipity (Sabre Targa 34) and completing a two-year refit of Elements of Life (custom 37' aluminum monohull), we sailed to the Arctic before selling her in 2020. Now, we're tackling our most ambitious project yet: building a 42-foot performance catamaran from the ground up.

Follow our journey through the highs and lows of boat building and beyond. Whether you're a sailor, dreamer, or DIY enthusiast, there's something here for you!
