RE-RIGGING and Re-Powering our Sailing Catamaran ||EP42

We BROKE The BANK! Re-Rigging and Re-Powering our sailing catamaran Our most Expensive week EVER! They say BOAT stands for Bring Out Another Thousand and they aren't wrong! With the mast on its side, we take the opportunity to give the electrical systems a good service and overhaul. replacing the running lights, fixing the VHF aerial, topping and tailing the halyard and adding several more cars to the sail track ,to make reefing and dropping the sail easier. We replace our two year old batteries ( ouch! ) after a faulty Victron Solar Controller renders them almost useless. In for a penny , in for pound - so we add dedicated starter batteries to each engine We also decide to update our alternator charging system by adding two DC to DC inverter chargers. We melt down the credit cards and replace our seagull striker -which turns out to be a good investment as we discover several strands of wire are broken. The mast is finally put back on. Re-Rig and Re -power complete. Bank account empty ....

We are Jo and Rob and we are here to share our sailing adventures with you. In 2016, inspired by the likes of ‘Delos’, ‘Sailing La Vagabonde’ and ‘Gone with The Wynns’, we sold up everything we owned and bought our 40ft, Fountaine Pajot ‘Lipari 41 Evo’ sailing catamaran ‘Double Trouble’. We had no sailing experience whatsoever, so the past few years have been a huge learning curve. We thought it might be fun to document our travels for anyone thinking of following a similar lifestyle. So far we have visited 7 different countries and sailed over 13,000 nautical miles. We have had many unique experiences that would not have been possible in our prior life and we don’t regret a second. We're both super keen on protecting our precious environment, so amongst other things, we both follow a plant based diet. You wont find any fishing footage on this channel!
