Building a Custom DREAM Cockpit on Our Aluminium Catamaran | Aluminum Catamaran Build (Ep. 108)

Refit Project: Building a Skippers Chair and Cockpit Table Join us on our latest refit project as we transform the cockpit of our aluminium catamaran! In this video, we dive into the design and build process, creating a custom table, extending the existing bench seat, and crafting a comfortable skipper’s chair. We have also designed the chair as the perfect spot for our 12v freezer to live. Watch as we share the building and welding, material choices, and maximizing space for functionality and comfort.

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.
