What this video covers

Zephyr, a catamaran, completes a delivery passage from North Carolina to the Bahamas on one engine, with the owner's father flying out to crew for the trip.▶ 0:36 Footage from the passage itself is sparse, but the boat arrives safely at Marsh Harbor.▶ 2:20 Once there, the crew replaces the worn trampoline as the first major project.▶ 3:40 They chose a Sunrise Yacht Products 1¼-inch Ultra Pro net in black vinyl-coated mesh with a black Dyneema perimeter, citing it as the most globally recommended trampoline supplier and praising its catamaran-specific design selector.▶ 4:31 Installation involves laying the new net over the old, pinning all four corners with temporary line, then lacing and tensioning the perimeter lines progressively while walking the net to stretch it, targeting a 2½- to 3-inch uniform gap between net and hull before removing the old trampoline from underneath.▶ 8:00 The finished net improves bow visibility enough that the anchor chain is now visible from the helm position — something the old trampoline blocked.▶ 10:56 The old net, cracked and brittle at every joint, is discarded.▶ 11:40 The new one carries a 12-year guarantee.▶ 11:47
