In this episode, we tackle a challenging sailboat repair by taking apart a sail drive leg for a complete refit on our Prout Snowgoose catamaran, Thalia. After a boat breakdown on the ICW, we share our journey of DIY boat repairs, replacing seals, addressing drive leg corrosion, and navigating the ups and downs of liveaboard life. Join us as we overcome sailing challenges and share tips for repairing our old budget catamaran!
