A 44-foot Leopard catamaran, previously declared a total loss after Hurricane Irma in 2017, serves as the vessel for a 3,000-mile Atlantic crossing from Gran Canaria to the Caribbean.0:11 The boat sustained catastrophic damage in the British Virgin Islands, including a mast-punched deck, a smashed stern, and months of submersion that corroded electrical components and engines.2:34 The owner performed extensive structural repairs, including fiberglass and epoxy hull patching, engine rebuilding, and interior restoration, over five months at a boatyard on the River Hamble.3:20 The vessel features a high-tech galley with an induction hob, air fryer, and ice maker, alongside dual-hull living quarters that provide significantly more storage and cabin space than the crew’s 37-foot monohull, Florence.13:59 The crew, accustomed to sailing as a pair, is adapting to a four-person watch system and the handling characteristics of a catamaran, including the use of a forward cockpit for downwind sailing.6:32 The vessel’s ability to remain seaworthy after extensive hurricane damage and submersion highlights the effectiveness of thorough structural and mechanical restoration.
