Island Spirit 38' CATAMARAN WALKTHROUGH‼️ (COMPLETE REFIT) ⛵️

Well, it’s taken us nearly 3 years to get this boat refit complete!! Saoirse is now a fully refitted 38’ Island Spirit Catamaran. Her hull dates back to 1999 but because she was entirely stripped, even the original bulkheads were removed and replaced she is now registered as a 2020 model. Absolutely everything on her was brand new at the time of the build. The sugar scoops were beautifully extended before we purchased her, giving us awesome platforms for fish/diving/ swimming off of. And even the mast and rigging is all brand new. Getting back to the refit, I now realize why people had such a rye smile on their faces in the beginning, when they asked how long we expected it to take? We very confidently told everyone - 8 months!!🤦🏼‍♀️. We figured we had built houses in less time than that, how long could it possibly take to refit a yacht??? Little did we know - and how much have we learnt since then⛵️ So, here she is, in all her 99,9%-completed-state glory. We are thrilled with how she turned out and it’s made all the hard work so worth it. When we look back at the ‘before’ state of Saoirse in our old pics and videos, we wonder WHAT would have possessed us to go into this project with the confidence that we did?? If we knew then what we know now, would we do it again? The jury is still out but probably not. Although, it’s hard to say because we really have enjoyed this process, and are thrilled that we know her from the very bottom up, but I think we also feel now - ‘been there, don’t that’ and wouldn’t take on a project like it again🤣 So welcome to Saoirse - we hope you find the tour interesting. For our many followers that have contacted us and said that we inspire them in their early stages of planning this life changing endeavor- we hope this spurs you along on your path. It’s about as tough a job as you could ever do, especially if you do most of it yourself- but we can assure you - it is so rewarding in the end. If there are any areas that you would be more interested in knowing the process of - follow the links below because we documented almost the entire refit. We will also be doing another video where we will cover the exterior of the boat and also all the systems, instruments and engines for people interested in all that.
