- Welcome on board Teulu. We are so excited to finally share an inside and out look at our Colvic Victor ketch. Currently set up as a live aboard but with some upgrades on the horizon, we thought it was the perfect time to share an overview of her with you.
If you want a bit more of a detailed look into where everything is kept on board or just fancy being a little nosy and peaking behind some of those closed doors, feel free to check out our Patreon for that vid!

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
#sailing #boatlife
You have an extremely well kept boat for its age. Congrats! I suggest a modification on your waste water system. Instead of letting the water from shower, sinks, etc. go into the bilge, get it directly overboard with a pump, e.g. mounted under the shower pan. You will switch on that pump manually evey time you take a shower. The advantage is that you avoid humidity in the builge. In particular, you want to avoid any water in the engine room bilge. Humidity in the engine room will lead to rust everywhere over time. I speak of 25 y experience. Once I had changed my entire water system accordingly my bilge was dry an corrosion was no longer seen. Good luck and regards from Switzerland. Silvano
Thanks Silvano 😊 Yes, thats a great suggestion and something we are now looking into! Thanks!
A gulper sounds like a bottom feeding prehistoric fish, but its the the thing that sounds like it might pull your toes off under your shower tray .
I had a blower in my bilge for airflow , if you do have high rh its one way to cure it
Just a thought, have you ever seriously tested the emergency bilge pump? If you ever need it, it will be dark, everything crashing about and you will have to go like the clappers.
We have and it works! Its one of the first things we did when we bought it- always better safe than sorry! Thanks 😊
WOW, what an amazing home you both have, I only wish that I could have done something like this 25 years ago... What an awesome adventure. Your gorgeous home is impeccable, never seen such a neat and tidy yacht, well done. Your wonderful partnership just radiates with love and light.... Here is to many, many more safe sea miles.... Congratulations, may the wind be there for you forever 🙂
Correction. Life is not short and you can reinvent yourself many times. This is your first project.....
I love your boat. I think you've made a great choice for an offshore cruiser.
I've been sailing for 46 years. Everything from dinghies to cruisers (we use to have a boat in Queen Anne's Battery) and currently we're racing in the RORC doublehanded offshore series. I'm currently looking for a cruising boat that I can spend extended periods on when I retire, and the deckhouse with the table high enough to sit at whilst looking out is a great feature that I am looking for too. For cruising, the ketch rig gives a lot of options for depowering safely when needed. Slab reefing rather than inboom or in mast reefing would be my preference too, as there is nothing that can really jam or go wrong and it allows for a better sail shape. We have an EFOY fuel cell on the race boat which has been a great addition. We never need to run the engine to charge now. Maybe worth investigating if your energy needs are high.
I'm sure you're going to have a great time onboard. Best of luck. I'll be following.
Thanks so much. Oh cool, small world! It was the pilot house that attracted us to Teulu in the first place- we wanted lots of light in 😊 Will look into the EFOY fuel cell system- thanks for the suggestion!
Beautiful boat! I just recently found you guys; been watching all your videos! Thanks for sharing your lives with us! 🍻
That is a very well kept and extremely well layed out boat.. especially for a 40 footer... i have been on 50 footers that did not seem to have much more space than you guys have... very nice find!!!! Congratulations!
Just don’t push the limits no need to take this into bad weather
Nice boat and nice couple too. I just don't understand one thing, and that in all seriousness: What sorrows do you need to drown by drinking booze? Or for that matter any sailing channel. I simply do not understand it. You are young, capable and attractive people, supposedly living the dream, and yet you need booze in your life, as do all sailing channels out there apparently. If I ever get a boat, I will be the first 100% alcohol free sailor in the world and boat for sure. I absolutely hate to be around drunk people, which is actually one of the reasons, why I want to leave Denmark: This nation has a very unhealthy drinking culture for sure!
No sorrows at all, just enjoy the taste of a beer every now and again!
Thanks for the boat tour it's looking great, congratulations. Also good to change the name of the chanel.
Just a couple of things, the gas locker does not look as though it is sealed and drained overboard. Hopefully it's better than it looks. Gas on a boat is dangerous and will drain down to the lowest point in the bilges and accumulate there.
The light you pointed out on the front of the main mast is the "masthead" light, commonly referred to on a yacht as the steaming light, as you must have this light on when under power, as well as your sidelights ( red, green) and stern light. Although officially called a masthead light, it is clearly not at the masthead and doesn't need to be, but it must show a white light from forward to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam on each side (the same sector as your sidelights), which it looks as though it does.
An anchor light must show a white light 360 degrees. If you have one it will be at the top of the mast. Otherwise you can hang a light up in the forward part of the yacht (similar to the black ball). Great to follow your progress.
Hope that helps.
Thanks so much! You are right about the gas locker- it is not sealed- it is on our list! However, there is a pipe to outside though which is good and we do switch it off after each use 😊 Yes. We know this about the steaming light- We don't have one at the top so we just use the Steaming light and our stern light- although it is something we need to fix soon! Thanks so much for the suggestions- we really appreciate it 😊
Thanks for your reply, it's good that the gas locker is at least drained overboard.
As for an anchor light I use one of these. I first bought a battery powered one from Decathlon, which is really bright, water resistant and lasts about three nights on one set of batteries. (I used to use a paraffin light, but this is much safer). Now I have bought one of these, rechargeable ones. I recommend them.

The boat looks amazing, Its really come a long way from the day of purchase. Beautiful sailboat. You both have put a lot of hard work into the boat and it shows.
Thanks so much! Everyday is a workday 🤣
So clean and organized. Awesome. So organized I don’t even think I’ll have to take my OCD medication tomorrow
Haha we do try! Although it doesn't always look like this- especially after we have finished a boat project!
A friend of mine built one of those in the 80s and lived on it for many years. I like the deck saloon and inside helm position. I don’t really get why so many yachts only have outside helms open to the elements
Thats epic, yes, we love the light and airy saloon!
That was a great tour thank you for sharing. I love the idea of sailing but never got there and now enjoy the experiences of sailing people like you two. Have watched a few of your videos including the trials and tribulations you experienced buying this boat. I am also following someone I know who is currently north of Scotland tied up in Fair Isle and I can watch his progress on marinetraffic its great fun, I was wondering if I could find you guys but the only Teulu was last reported in St Lucia in 2015, enjoy your wonderful sailing life. Thanks
Thanks so much Malcolm- glad you can vivaciously live a sailing life through us! We would love to head to Scotland one day, have only heard great things about it 😊 AIS is also on the list so one day hopefully soon-ish (budget dependant) you can also follow us! Interesting about the Teulu in St Lucia!
Lovely boat, very bright and airy. Your engine room access is the envy of most mono-hull owners. I love your videos, very upbeat and informative. You did well with your purchase. Thank you.
Thanks so much Bill! 😊 We are so grateful for our engine room 😊
Oh my gosh absolutely beautiful. It’s so clean and I love the engine room access. I’m so excited for you both.
PeaceAndLove
Lori
Thanks so much Lori- we are so happy about our engine access!
It’s such a great boat. Love the galley and how bright it is. Also the headroom. Awesome guys congrats
Thanks Dan! We are so happy with her
Now there’s a nice boat!!
Thanks David! 😊
Beautiful! I must have missed out on the information; what year was this boat built in? How old is she?
Beautiful boat. Very cosy and comfy and inviting. Happy sailing darlings. Best Wishes from Trinidad and Tobago.
Thanks so much Nazmin! Maybe one day we will make it over there! 😊
Have you thought about putting telescopic legs on the main table so that you can lower it and put a cushion on it to make it an extra bed?
Thanks for the Grand Tour. It's a bit like the Tardis. Looks bigger on the inside, than on the outside.
Haha that's what a lot of friends and family who have visited said!
We have a sole mini in our konsort. Great engines. Firm is based in Plymouth too. That's a lot of boat . How much was it roughly? Or is that sensitive info 🤔
Oh cool- we didn't realise they were based in Plymouth! We are going to make a vid all about finances in the future 😊
You didn't show your wine selection, you silly young teetotallers!?!!?!!!!?!??
Also... Where do you practice calligraphy?
What do you mean you don't!? Don't you think it'd be nice(and appropriate) to send proper letters to your folks? That'd force you to think and construct your thoughts in the best possible way before you put out down on paper. That would also make it so much easier to put everything in a nice diary? Think in advance! Before you get old!!!!
🧐
Nice Boat. If I could find one just like it, I'd buy it.
Wow love ❤️ your boat from India 🇮🇳
Will you talk costs
We got her for a very good deal at around £38,000
Love the boat!
Thanks! 😊
No holding tanks? ..Just straight to sea only?
How old are you guys? I like the galley conversion. I don't know these boats, feels roomy for a 40 footer, great engine room. How can you not have a dingy!? Nicely done!
26 and 27. We didn’t have one back then, but we do now 😊
It reminds me of a nauticat, I like it
WHAT A SHAME !!! I HAD DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL AND WAS SO PLEASED THAT YOU HAD FINALLY BOUGHT A BOAT !...I STARTED TO WATCH THE BOAT YOUR ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT WE WOULD ONLY SEE SNIPPETS AND THAT ANYONE THAT SIGNED UP TO BE ONE OF YOUR PATREONS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE MUCH MORE !!??? BIG MISTAKE BY YOU FOR CALLING THIS OUT ...I THINK THAT YOU WILL SEE YOUR SUBSRIBER NUMBERS DIVE OR YOUR LIKES HARDLY REGISTERING !!! I WILL UNSUBSCRIBE NOW AND CARRY ON WATCHING THE RECENT CHANNELS THAT DON'T MENTION PATREONS IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ...BYE !!!
You have watched the only video we have on our channel which we have mentioned Patreon 😂 but thanks for your support, and sticking around to see our journey.
Wow !
If youre gonna get all exited over youtubers using Patreon in tandem with their free content youre probably going to need medication mate
Loved this one you two adorable ones! At last we think we’ve now caught up with you and your adventures. Well done indeed. Stay safe, have fun and keep on following your dreams 🥰🥰🥰🥰xxxxx
Thanks so much Helen! We will continue to do all of those things! Hopefully we will see you soon too! Xxx
only just found your channel, love it. Ive missed a few episodes just watch the first couple when you finally bought the boat, and your first sail. its amazing to see and hear the confidence change in you both now you have some time on the water.
My wife hates the sea so no chance for me to ever live on a boat, so its great I get to experience a little bit of heaven through you guys, keep them coming
cheers xxxx
So glad Kaine! We sometimes think about that too, how much our confidence and faith in Teulu and each other has built over the months 😊 glad you can experience it through our vids. Thanks for the lovely comment 😊
broth! goo dnight. Super! pro !take care- 🤗
Can´t wait to see you sailing around Croatia/Italy/Greece to meet up with you guys!
Would love to at some point!! 😊
You guys have a refreshing honesty in your presentation. This is a really great video (loving much of your content with your Welsh adventures too) and I can feel like a part of your boating discovery process. Keep it up guys I know it's lots of effort editing etc but it is paying off :D This is fun!
Aw thanks so much Andy! So glad you can be here for it all 😊
i love your boat i have always thought i would prefer a ketch myself. i've never gone sailing yet but want to someday, I just wish i could talk my wife into it.
Ketches will always have a soft spot in our hearts 😊 Best of luck with sailing in the future!
...... so you lost the most comfortable offshore bunk in favor of extra countertop , hmmmmm ....... but other vise cute boat
Thanks 😊
Should the co2 monitor be near the floor? I thought it was heavier than oxygen and needed to be mounted low. At least lower than your head when sleeping.
On the installation instructions it told us to mount it in that position….we’ll have a look into it!
Brilliant as ever, great tour around your lovely boat 👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much Stuart! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Oh hi! Name change threw me. This was Planet Becca yeah.
Still excited for your travels.
Lee
New follower making my way to most recent vids. Love what you’re doing and the character of Teulu. Beautiful boat!
I absolutely love the layout of your Ketch! Especially engine room! Boat is just perfect! Roomy!
I guess you're anchor cleat is attached to a solid steel backing plate or some such?
Its not, but we would far rather lose a cleat and a bit of the deck, than our electric windlass!
Adorable couple, amazing video, so inspiring!
Thanks so much Charlotte!

You've got cute boat it seems small but there is alot of space, very unique, to tell u frankly older boats are better most f them are more durable than newest one.. Im amazed, and the areas are well maintaned by the previous owner..
Is that Porth Wen (North Anglesey) in your intro? Love the videos, love seeing your skills progress... Used to sail a Kestrel 22 when I was in my teens... I'm your age but now live on a canal boat 🙂
It is indeed, we love it up there! Thanks 😊
I could sell my quite modest canal boat amd buy two of these lovely yachts with change left over .
Boat prices are very odd sometimes
@@bobjary9382 I lived on a canal boat for 6 years until 2022... Only difference being is sailing can get dangerous if not done properly. Well worth considering though... just be safe doing so 🙂🙂
@@Thinkflite Ive squatted , lived in a rave collective, single car garage, housing coop crack den, art studio-chocolate factory, lorry ,did the canal in the 80s er...social housing and bought a place !!
it still puzzles me , the pricing of narrowboats
hi guys, whats the size of that winch that winch handle does not fit and which brand?
Its a Lewmar- not sure which make- we have actually just been sent some winch handles to fit it by a kind Patron of ours!
I liked that you said currently, just after talking about the battery bank. Jest for fun is this comment. 😆 The boat is beautiful!
Thanks! and hahah no pun intended 🤣
Are you going to put a dogger and shade area over the cockpit?
We would love to! Just need to save up a bit more for it first 🤣
Your boat has a pretty interesting/clever layout. Great use of space!
After your Haulout Video and this Walk Around, I can really see why dad was so enthusiastic about it. It's a Cracker, and a Really Pretty Boat with it as well. Bob. 👍🙂
Thanks Bob, we couldn’t be happier with our choice 😊
Great video! Are you getting more relaxed while anchoring at night? I saw the video when you were up quite a bit checking your position. 🇧🇲
We are! Slowly but surely as the confidence and trust in our ability increases, so does the amount of hours sleep we get 🤣
I really love your boat. The space and size and livability seems just great. I also find it interesting how on occassion you use those little phrases that tell me where you are from (larder as an example). Keep your spirits up and keep those videos comming.
Thanks so much! Haha, what would you call the storage place for food where you are from? 😊
I am sure I missed it, but wasn’t your channel called Planet Becka? I hope “ Teulu Tribe” works out. Doesn’t’ that basically mean tribe tribe? (Sailing Saoirse changed their name away from their boat to their own because many people struggled to recall the name, spell or pronounce it. Though, personally, I don’t think this one is too tricky, despite the Welsh pronunciation potentially catching people out. Another possibility might have been “Becka and Zach do the planet”. Too long winded? ;))
It was called Planet Becka 😊 Teulu is more like family- so I guess family tribe- we shall see and if down the line we realise its too hard to say we can always change it! 😊
just love watching you two enjoying life as normal people. PLEASE do not go into La Vagabonde mode. Whats that ?. Its when everything has to be perfect and fit for the front page of Vogue magazine. Please stay normal. Great videos and fun to watch. Good luck to you both.
Will always keep it authentically us 😊 Glad you enjoy the vids! Thanks Kev!
You guys scored on this boat! So stoked for you guys, thanks for sharing your adventures,
We tell ourselves this all the time still! Very lucky.
Lmao….I’ve been trying to figure out why this video was in my subscribers and why I couldn’t find Planet Becky this week. Cool new channel name!
Made a RUclips community post but think it got swallowed up by RUclips! Glad you like it! 😊
Congratulations on the channel guys. Looking forward to your travels. One tip though... A lot of subtle nods to Delos in your videos. Not a bad thing as they are legends. But..... Find your own flow (I'm sure you will) be yourselves and be unique. Best of luck to you.
Thanks Jay! We actually haven’t ever watched a Delos vid in our lives haha! See they have a ketch though which is cool 😊
I’m headed south in 33 days to buy my first sailboat. I’m currently in BC Canada.
I’m very excited and I wanted to thank you. The information you provide is invaluable. I would be doing it anyway, but watching your videos is helping to reduce the stress associated with any large life change. (Did I mention I retired last week. 😆 )
Keep it up. Maybe I’ll see you around. 😎
Congrats on the boat buy and the retirement! Thats so exciting! We can all figure it out together- hopefully see you on the water 😊
Wow, what a really cool and unique boat. Good for you two! Having a dream, working your ass off for it, and getting it done. Love the mega bed. If you ever sail to the Caribbean and make it to the British Virgin Islands give me a shout. I’ll be following along
Thanks so much Alexander! Haha mega bed- that really is what is is 🤣 Yes we will give you a shout if we cross to that side of the world at some point!
I just bought an Ericson sailboat. Only 25 foot but lake use day cruiser. Your boat is simply stunning! Must have cost a fortune. You've bought what I'd like to get eventually- a world cruiser.
Congrats Michael, thanks so much. She wasn't too expensive (relatively speaking!)- the cost has been in upgrading everything to make her safe and ocean worthy. 😊
Looking good, BeenZee. When upgrading that old winch, consider splurging on a stainless Andersen- they really are the mutts nuts! on the principle you can never have too much fresh water, consider (long term) rigging a "water collection system" (a big funnel leading to a jerrycan) under the goosenecks, the amount of rainwater pouring off there when the sails are up will astound you! (Discard the first few litres, it'll have salt off the sails in it.) Keep up the good work!
Haha BeenZee- that made us laugh- maybe we should start signing emails off like that 🤣 Will check out the Anderson winches- thanks for the recommendations!
Great layout, that engine room is to die for.
And please make sure you have sufficient engine related spares before you go further afield.
Thanks! Yes, we are slowly collecting all the spares we need 😊
Ah yes!! I was waiting for this one!! Thx :D
Dang nice boat ! I could live well in her !
I'm doing my crew course in a month with Seahaven Maritime. Would great to sail and meet you guys if you needed extra crew! I'm near Brighton.
Oo good luck! Yes, will let you know if we ever need crew. Thanks 😊
Planet Bek has a new name. 🙂 Nice one.
Thanks for the tour guys. Cheers from NZ 🇳🇿 M !
We do! Glad you enjoyed the tour 😊
Thanks for the tour, new to sailing I’m from the van life area. Looks a fantastic setup, right from the start, amazing 🤙🏻
Glad you enjoyed the tour! Welcome to the sailing community!
Nice cutting board
Its cool isn't it! Found it on Etsy 😊
Great job and congratulations guys on your boat. Look in to getting a four panel solar system down the road when you're able.. Safe travels and cheers from California😃
Thanks Jose! We are looking into solar now actually! It will be a perfect solution to our forever flat batteries!
Wow, you have done and amazing job in such a short time. Great practical layout for living aboard.
Cheers Rob 😁
She is beautiful…. Lots of cubby holes to hide/lose things in. Have you made an inventory of everything on board and where you will find it?
Thanks Andrew 😊 we will before we leave anywhere big!
Now I enjoyed that immensely what a good video and fabulous to see the long awaited look around ,your both just like us everything in its place , or was that just for the video 😂😂😂😂😂😂from the video I get it just how much you have both had to learn about the boat and it’s features be great to see how you upgrade in the future have a good week x👍🤗
We are so glad Paul! Haha yep, and it ebs and flows! Sometimes the boat is spotless but after boat jobs, it definitley doesn't look like that. Lovely thing about a boat though is how quick it is to put everything back in its place. We love it 😊 Yes will do an upgraded tour in the future. Have a great week too!
Hello your videos are so cool
Thanks George!!
Love your Boat. Your outdoor table is a great idea
:)
:)
Awesome videos. I’m very glad I came upon your channel. I look forward to seeing the rest of your story.
Thanks! Lots more of the story to come 😊
Awesome. What type of keel and rudder setup does she have? Some curtains upstairs would look nice.
Thanks! She has a skeg hung rudder so its protected and an encapsulated keel 😊 We do need to figure out a curtain/blind situation for the pilot house at some point 😊
Confused me at first with the channel name change but that's not hard to do at my age!! 😂😂Very nice floating home!! 😎⛵👍
Thanks Pete! We made a RUclips Communities post about it but think that gets hidden in the depths of RUclips! 😊
I like your layout,but in the tropics you will need way more shade at the outdoor helm and ventuilation where you cook, also when rough weather comes you might need an isolator switch in galley for your gas bottle. Good luck
We hope to get a bimini soon 😊 and we do have an isolator switch in the galley for the gas bottle, we just didnt show it in this vid! 😊
really nic boat
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful boat.
Way bigger than I initially thought.
And extremely well laid out I think.
Can't wait to see you guys get out into the world.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks so much- yes, quite a few people who have come aboard have said she is a lot bigger on the inside than they initially thought! We are very happy with the layout 😊
Y'all changed channel names, I got nervous when I didn't see new content! Glad I found it!
Haha yep! No longer Planetbecka! 😊
Fascinating tour of your super beautiful boat, you seem to have learnt so much in such a short time. The biography when written will be a best seller👍
Thanks so much Jim!! You will be sure to have the first copy! Haha What a lovely comment 😊😊
I really love y'alls boat! You don't see many monohauls with such great lighting
Is this a boat that someone could single hand sail?
Yes it is 😊 Zach actually had to do this quite recently. There is a storytime coming about it next monday!
Awesome tour and love the new RUclips Channel Name too! All the best!
Thanks Mark! Glad you like it 😊
Lots Done…ALWAYS More to Do & Get😜 Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Very true! Thanks Steven 😊
Do cool👌, very happy for you guys, you dreams came through✌️👍
They did!! ☺️
What a wonderful home you have there.
I wish you the best of experiences.
Cheers Lara 😊
Wait, 38+ thousand pounds in two years, what did you do ? rob atm’s 🙄
Zach worked 60+ hours a week as a manager on night shift work, I had two jobs, we sold a car, and lots of our belongings, we paid £350 rent a month for both of us and £20 on groceries a week 😜 so yes, 38000 in two years.
Your boat has a pretty interesting/clever layout. Great use of space!
Its pretty unique- we love it 😊
Absolutely beautiful amazing boat. I’d never heard of of a victor 40. Y’all really chose a great boat. Super stoked to see all the progress. Y’all remind me of some of my favorite characters in my favorite movie series (Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan), now y’all just gotta sail to the carribean and do some pirating alongside jack sparrow and it’ll be just like pirates of the Caribbean 😂! Awesome stuff though y’all for real. Beautiful boat and so well thought out with gear placement and all. I live on a Catalina 38 here in California/do alot of sailing and sailboat builds and stuff. Now iv got a boat that I’ll be keeping an eye out for. Victor 40, amazing y’all. Cheers 🎉
Thank for you lovely comment. Not too sure of how we reminded you of them haha (I’m definitely it that good looking), but we will take it 😅 They are definitely solid well build boats, but they don’t come up that often. Best of luck finding one 😁
@@TeuluTribe way to humble Mrs. Swan haha! I seen in your other videos, that the Caribbean is calling your name JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIE 😂😂😂. But super stoked for y’all. I’m hella happy with my Sparkman and Stephens Catalina 38 but if one of these pops up I’d be interested for sure. My dream boat is a km yachts built aluminum expedition yacht or like a Garcia or Ovni aluminum but I’m super happy with my beautiful Catalina 38 for now.
That's one very squared away, well organised boat. Very much a credit to you both. Wish you miles and miles of smiles ;)
Thanks Mike!! 😊 many of smiles here!
What a fantastic tour you guys... she maybe old but she's a beauty...
She sure is- thanks so much 😊
That deckhouse top looks ideal for solar, any plans for the future ?
We are hoping to get a solar set up soon and are looking to put two flexi ones on it!
Love your tour guys. Hopefully one day my wife and I will have the courage to do what you guys are doing. Wish you all the best in your world exploration.
Thanks Will- oh you really should. It can be really hard work but it is so so worth it 😊
