Everyone knows we’re in the yard for the hybrid-electric conversion…
But that’s not the only reason Tangaroa is out of the water.

In this episode, we tackle the “other stuff” that has to get done while she’s on the hard — a bent prop, shafts that need attention, converting the old chain steering to hydraulic, sealing up some thruhulls, and installing a swim/safety ladder.

Because if we’re going to do this build properly, it’s not just about motors and batteries. It’s about getting the whole boat ready for the crossing to Japan.

Head over and watch it now.

And tell us — if you have any better ideas for the stuff that has to be done?
