After discovering a crack in a swage fitting on the mast of the Lagoon 450 Parlay Revival, the crew delayed their Pacific crossing to replace the standing rigging.1:29 While awaiting parts, they upgraded the electrical system by installing a 200-amp high-output alternator on the port engine.2:46 The installation required fabricating custom spacers to align the new serpentine belt system and wiring a Wakespeed regulator to manage charging for the lithium battery bank.4:10 The system successfully delivered 175 amps during testing.8:27
Additional maintenance included installing an Ultra Devil’s Claw on the anchor bridle, mounting a planing fin on the dinghy to improve fuel efficiency, and testing a FLIR infrared camera for night navigation.9:00 The crew also repurposed an old headsail by cutting it into sections to manufacture 250 duffel bags, with proceeds designated for charity.14:17 Between projects, the crew practiced wingfoiling in 20-knot winds.10:24 The rigging repairs and electrical upgrades ensure the vessel is better prepared for the upcoming long-distance passages toward Mazatlan and La Paz.
