Epic sail after major refit - Letting our aluminum catamaran stretch her legs (Ep. 115)

A couple weeks ago we relaunched our aluminum sailing catamaran after a major refit. The refit was packed with lots of modifications to improve the boats performance. Now, we’ve got some fantastic weather and a long stretch of coastline ahead, giving us the perfect opportunity to get the sails up and see how she handles. We're thrilled with how everything's come together and how well the boat is performing. Join us as we embark on an epic sail down the east coast of Australia!

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.
