About Us: Cruising the World with SV Meraki! We are THREE Generations coming together to create the Cruising Meraki Project. Join Kevin, Shawna, Mick, Kate, Thomas and Bentley's sailing adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that leads them to meet wonderful people, experience new cultures and see the world in a whole new way. We hope you enjoy our project as much as we enjoy sharing it with you!
What is the Cruising Meraki Project?
The “Project” began back in 2018 when we first decided to start working towards a goal of sailing the world as 3 generations. The term “Project” is fitting for us as we are working together collaboratively to achieve a common goal.
meraki [mer-ah-kee] (verb) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love - when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.
THREE Generations, TWO Boats, ONE Dream!

Those are the best seacocks you can get! Try and find new ones like them. wire brush with a drill and keep a little grease on them and good for fifty years!
We did manage to get some of them working again! The boat is already 44 years old so they’ve had a good run.
Have you tried to see if its a British Standard pipe parallel thread?
We thought BSP as well, we even had the owner of a marine shop stumped… he had a thread gauge and our thread didn’t match anything (including BSP). Total mystery!!
Will be BSP thread most old styles are

Have you considered the Trudesign sea cock and thru hull fittings. Move away from metal. The thread is probably BSP British Pipe Thread ( most likely parallel thread). NPT National Pipe Thread is more common in North America
