What Happened To Sailing Project Atticus?

The Atticus, a 30 foot Allied Seawind Ketch built by Thomas Gillmer in 1963, was sold to Jordan, Desiree, Isabella, and Captain Oso for $16,000 due to damage to her primary bulkhead. The boat was purchased for $5,000 and has been slowly improved, living aboard full-time. The Greek Island of Symi was once home to the best free-divers in the world, risking their lives in search of treasure on the seafloor. After four months of sailing offshore, the team is now back at it, albeit a bit rusty.

The team found ways to stay financially afloat, with Desiree flew around the world to freelance stewardesses gigs and they both landed jobs working on the project. They have also been sailing around the western Caribbean in Cuba, where they were desperately low on cash.

The Sailing Project Atticus offers a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of living a nomadic life at sea. The team’s journey includes encountering pirates in Nicaraguan banks, being approached by strangers while sailing, and experiencing multiple cabin-fever experiences. The team’s weekly videos on YouTube showcase their journey and the challenges they faced during the refit process.
