Category: Boat Upgrades and Repairs

Boat upgrades and repairs are necessary evils of owning a boat. Well, not really evil, but totally necessary. Someone once said that sailing is the most expensive way to get somewhere for free. I agree.

We’ve spent our share of time at Just Catamarans in Dania Beach (Ft. Lauderdale) getting boat work done. When we brought Wind Therapy home from the BVI (British Virgin Islands) in January 2020, we dropped her off there for seven weeks. We worked closely with the designers, electricians, carpenters, and others to make Wind Therapy our home. And it worked.

The list of boat upgrades and repairs is very long and includes everything from widening a door to transforming a cabin into a laundry room/closet/tool storage room to re-bedding sky lights and replacing port lights. We added solar panels and a custom made solar arch. We had a complete helm and aft cockpit enclosure sewn, and added shelves, access panels, drawers, upped our inverter, and so much more.

After a few more trips to Just Catamarans for warranty work, more upgrades, and some training on things we added but forgot how to use, we are extremely happy with all the upgrades we made. We even fell in love with a few restaurants – Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill for one. Best hamburgers EVER! And the largest, most original Rice Krispie treats I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for reading our blogs. And if you’d like to see more about the upgrades we made to Wind Therapy in detail (we even tell you how much it all cost), visit the Our Vlogs page. Or you can view our YouTube channel directly.
