Relaunched and Leaking? Our Aluminum Catamaran is taking On Water after Relaunch (Ep. 112)

Last week, our aluminum sailing catamaran was relaunched after a huge refit, and the journey didn’t stop there! We secured a mooring to finish crucial jobs, resolve surprise maintenance issues, and even catch a runaway boat! Watch as we work on getting the boat shipshape and ready to sail off into the next adventure! Our new prop are: 3 bladed 18'' Flexofold folding propellers: https://www.flexofold.com/ Rig Tuning Video: https://youtu.be/OIupfWvCHag ________________ 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.
