We are refitting our aluminium catamaran. This week we are recessing our zinc anodes to be flush with the hull.
We are recessing the anodes because our current anodes are not streamlined, and we want them to be flush, to decrease the disturbed water going over the hulls. We are also decreasing the number of anodes from 8 to 4.

ABOUT US:
Ahoy! We are the James Family, a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week! Sam is originally from New Zealand, Cait is originally from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia and a few years later during Covid-19 we eloped and then a year later our family grew, and we welcomed Charlie! We took the big plunge in 2022 and decided to follow our dream, sold everything, and purchased an old, unfinished, aluminum Catamaran and we are now fixing her up as we sail around the world. Subscribe and follow our journey!
