Sail Loot Podcast 039: Kamau Iandiataiyero Saving Sailing Money by Building a Sailboat

By on July 6, 2016

It’s possible that Kamau Iandiataiyero missed his calling and should have been an NFL lineman. However, Kamau is a smart man (so are NFL lineman) and probably figured out that playing for the NFL would’ve torn up his body even quicker. Instead, Kamau armed himself with a degree in Construction Management and started his own business.

Kamau would daydream about boats, and they would be present in his childhood doodles, but he didn’t start sailing until an awesome Groupon discount got him out on the water. Of course, Kamau loved it so much that he wanted his own sailboat. Have you looked at Kamau’s pictures here yet? Do you know of a production boat that Kamau could fit in, especially when nature calls?

Kamau decided that it was time to put his Construction Management degree to work in a little bit different way than he has before. Kamau has decided to build his own boat. You can check out videos of Kamau’s boat building process over at the Iandi Boats YouTube Channel! You can listen to our conversation below!

About Teddy

I am a 37 year old that just wants to find a way to make a remote income, gather some Sail Loot and cruise the world! I have been sailing for a couple of years now, but mostly on 10 day trips as vacationing crew. I just recently took sailing to the next level by completing my Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising Certifications! I am also Vice President of a Medical Consulting Company, have a Mechanical Engineering degree from Georgia Tech, and have taken several Coding, Computing, and Online Business courses. It's time to share what I have learned!
