O que este vídeo aborda

Mads and Ava completed a 665-nautical-mile transit from Florida to Oriental, North Carolina, aboard their 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran, *Spiffy*.▶ 11:57 The vessel performed reliably during the four-day, sunrise-to-sunset motoring trip, with only minor mechanical issues: a loose alternator bracket on the starboard engine and a small diesel injector leak on the port engine.▶ 12:12 Upon arrival at Marine Craft, the crew rafted *Spiffy* alongside a fleet of Antares and PDQ 44 catamarans to prepare for a long-term refit.▶ 11:25

During the transit, the crew utilized a Mantis dinghy for excursions along the Intracoastal Waterway.▶ 0:35 The 220-pound, rotary-molded plastic tender features integrated storage lockers, a dedicated battery compartment, and transom-mounted beach wheels.▶ 10:42 While the crew noted the dinghy’s weight is double that of their inflatable Zodiac, they praised its stability, ruggedness in shallow, debris-filled creeks, and ease of deployment.▶ 10:46 The move to North Carolina reduces their monthly mooring costs by $1,000 compared to their previous Florida location.▶ 16:01
