Hi guys!

Happy Weekend! Yay 🎉 Of course, your weekend might not be as happy as mine. After all, we can't all be grinding fiberglass on this lovely Saturday 😉

In this week's video, I go over our two options for getting the steering back in working order. We have two options - Lewmar vs Jefa. Neither is going to be free, but I was a little surprised when Lewmar wanted $8500 for a simple gearbox and an autopilot drive unit. As of writing this, we still haven't gotten the quote from Jefa, but I have seen an invoice from a different catamaran indicating that the ENTIRE Jefa system will be slightly cheaper than the two components from Lewmar. For shame! 😂

Enough yammering on! Back to work - this fiberglass is not going to grind itself 😉 Thank you so much for your support, and have a fantastic weekend 🙂

PATREON ⛵️ $8500? For that?!? Hurricane-damaged catamaran steering options. Ep615

We have two options when it comes to re-doing the steering on the catamaran. Lewmar or Jefa. In this video we figure out that we're definitely NOT going with Lewmar 😂 ** Links and contact information ** My email address is ohglorioussanding@gmail.com For sponsor deals, please use this email: saillife@thestation.io Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2NJUK30IBFWO1 Sail Life website: https://www.saillifechannel.com/ Sail Life on Patreon: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnPatreon Sail Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saillife_ Sail Life on Facebook: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnFacebook Sail Life on Twitter: http://bit.ly/SailLifeOnTwitter TotalBoat: https://www.totalboat.com/saillife Athena on No Foreign Land: https://www.noforeignland.com/boat/saillife
