Building an Aluminum Catamaran Back Deck Roof - This Will REVOLUTIONIZE the COCKPIT (Ep. 106)

Refit Project: Expanding the Back Deck Roof on Our Aluminum Catamaran We adore our boat's back deck, but the lack of shade and sun protection means we barely spend time there. One of the key refit projects we've been planning for months is to extend the roof over the back deck. It's time to kick off the construction! Join us as we weld, fiberglass, and add some much-needed shade to our back deck! ________________ Ahoy! We’re the James Family, a trio sailing around the globe and sharing our family-friendly adventures every week! Sam hails from New Zealand, while Cait is from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we eloped, and a year later, our family grew with the arrival of Charlie! In 2022, we took the leap to follow our dream, sold everything, and bought an old, unfinished aluminum catamaran. Now, we’re fixing her up as we explore the world.
