What this video covers

A catamaran owner transits from Water Island, USVI, to Culebra, Puerto Rico, navigating customs requirements via the ROAM app before continuing to Isleta Marina.▶ 0:02 Upon arrival, the owner addresses several maintenance tasks on the vessel, beginning with the repair of a non-functional wind indicator.▶ 7:03 After testing the unit and confirming the masthead sensor was faulty, the owner pulls a new cable through the mast to ensure a reliable connection, successfully restoring wind speed and direction data to the cockpit displays.▶ 10:01 Additional electrical upgrades include the installation of a Victron 80A battery charger and a dedicated inverter to power a Starlink system.▶ 15:19 The owner also applies a final coat of Awlgrip epoxy primer to the cabin roof and installs new 12-volt interior touch lights.▶ 16:28 These repairs complete the final phase of a post-hurricane refit, preparing the catamaran for future cruising.▶ 17:54 Replacing a mast cable rather than splicing it prevents future corrosion issues and ensures consistent instrument performance.▶ 10:52
