Sam Holmes performs a series of maintenance and upgrade projects on his catamaran while anchored near Phuket, Thailand. After an unsuccessful attempt to meet a rigger at Royal Phuket Marina, he focuses on sealing leaking cabin windows using Sikaflex, noting that initial attempts required follow-up repairs to address small gaps.▶ 10:56 He replaces a manual bilge pump with an electric diaphragm pump to electrify the toilet system and installs a ventilation fan in the head.▶ 15:26 Electrical work includes removing an unused HF radio and Pactor modem, installing new positive and negative bus bars, and organizing wiring for a Starlink system, AIS, and Orca navigation core.▶ 11:49 He also replaces corroded 12-volt sockets throughout the vessel.▶ 11:18 During a coastal sail, he tests a parasailer spinnaker, finding it easier to handle than a traditional spinnaker due to its stability and lack of a pole.▶ 2:23 The owner concludes that his maintenance efforts are finally outpacing the rate of new equipment failures.
