Qué cubre este vídeo

Natasha and Carl performed a series of structural and mechanical upgrades on their Nordicat 43 to achieve full off-grid capability. They commissioned a custom stainless steel solar arch and dinghy davits, which required removing the rear traveler and sealing the deck holes with thickened epoxy and fiberglass.10:00 To accommodate the new structure and improve cockpit clearance, they raised both the main and mizzen booms by 15 inches and three feet, respectively.3:29 The crew also resolved a persistent fuel delivery issue by replacing a cracked fuel pickup tube in the port tank, after unsuccessfully attempting to clear the lines with compressed air and a failed professional fuel polishing service.13:31 Finally, they installed a used Spectra watermaker, plumbing it into the existing freshwater system using check valves and routing the product water into the tank vent hoses to avoid drilling new tank penetrations.20:17 These modifications provide the electrical capacity and water independence necessary for long-term cruising.
