The Insurance Saga Is Finally Over… Here’s What I Can Say

December 01, 2025

After many delays, stress, paperwork, and uncertainty… the insurance saga is finally over.


As most of you know, the delivery crew had a major mechanical failure last year that led to my boat being totaled. Since then, I’ve been working through the long insurance process behind the scenes. I can’t share specific numbers, terms, or private details because of my NDA — but I can walk you through what the experience was like, what I learned, and how this affects the future of Sailing Doodles.


In this episode I cover:

What I can legally say about the resolutions

What this means for the new boat build

And what’s next for the channel


Thank you to everyone who supported me during this ordeal — the comments, messages, and patience meant more than you know. Time to move forward and get back to sailing!
