The crew of the catamaran Zatara discovered a significant structural failure in the port-side rudder while anchored in Culebra, Puerto Rico.0:35 The rudder split down the center, exposing internal foam.1:46 To attempt a temporary repair, the crew drilled holes through the leading and trailing edges of the rudder and used long bolts with large washers to compress the structure.2:10 This fix allowed the vessel to complete a passage to Grenada, where the crew plans to haul the boat out for a full rebuild of both rudders.2:16 During the transit, the crew utilized two 90-amp Balmar alternators to manage the electrical load of 12 EPOC lithium-ion batteries, which provided enough capacity to run air conditioning units overnight while anchored.12:35 The crew also sought contacts for Maxion Flex solar panels to increase daily power generation.13:55 Upon arrival in Grenada, the crew prepared the vessel for a period on the hard by consuming perishable food and readying the boat for storage.19:24
