The host of a Freedom 35 catamaran performs several refit tasks to prepare the vessel for ocean passages, including building a custom wooden boom, installing a windlass, and troubleshooting electrical issues. To construct the boom, the host shapes a 4.8-meter pine plank reinforced with hardwood strips in a T-section, sealing the wood with epoxy.2:45 A universal gooseneck fitting from Jimmy Green replaces the original hardware.8:35 Electrical failures on the port outboard engine, which repeatedly blew fuses and relays, are traced to a faulty regulator rectifier; testing revealed a broken diode causing overcharging at 17 volts.15:24 The host also replaces metal sail hanks with custom-spliced Dyneema soft shackles, noting that consistent sizing is critical for even sail tension.16:22 A used Simpson and Lawrence windlass is mounted on a custom-built chain locker platform.22:00 During a test hoist, the stay sail fails to fit the existing forestay attachment point, requiring the installation of a new mounting point higher on the mast.20:55
