The refit of a 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran stalls as the project faces a series of mechanical and structural setbacks before a planned 700-nautical-mile transit to North Carolina. The host attempts to pressure-test two newly fabricated diesel tanks using soapy water to identify leaks, but discovers a significant weld failure on one corner and a pinhole leak caused by a groove in a pipe fitting.28:10 These tank issues prevent the installation of bilge pumps, engine batteries, and the DC system, as the components share a tight, interdependent workspace.18:47 Additional work includes installing shaft anodes, 3D-printing a temporary switch cover for the helm, and mounting a seat salvaged from an Antares catamaran.16:39 The host also reviews COLREGs requirements for navigation lights on a vessel over 12 meters, noting that masthead lights must sit at least 2.5 meters above the gunwale.3:13 The project remains incomplete, with the hull not yet watertight and the diesel tanks requiring further repair.28:18
