Welcome aboard!

Completely refitting a sailboat on your own when you’re amateur DIYers and setting sail without being seasoned sailors — does that sound crazy to you? We’re sharing every step of the So Fabbulus project with you!

Hi, we’re Sophie & Romain

Let’s get to know each other!

Based in Brittany, we love travel, the sea, and DIY projects.

Our goal? To fully refit an aluminum sailboat (an Ovni 25, 7.60 m long) so we can live aboard and travel. What we lack in fundings and expertise, we make up for with load of motivation!

We embarked on this adventure together to move toward a simpler, freer way of life. We want to learn, experiment, and have a lot of fun along the way!

We also want to share what we learn with those who follow us — our discoveries as well as our setbacks, both in the boatyard and out on the water.
Shall we weigh anchor together?

Our progress, day by day

The adventure just started, and a lot has already happened — all of which we share in our logbook. For those who aren’t familiar with nautical terms, definitions appear throughout the text as you read.

Want to join the adventure?

All hands welcome on deck!

With a project like this, every bit of help counts. We’re lucky to have amazing friends and partners who help us move forward, by giving their time, advice, skills, or support to the project. If you feel like getting involved as well — one way or another — that’s absolutely possible.
