The aft lower shrouds on a Gemini 3200 catamaran attach to a u-bolt which goes through the deck. A backing plate and a steel rod carry the load to the cabinets under the dinette benches. This video shows how to replace all that hardware and repair the damaged deck structure.

Following a minor collision with a piling I had to undertake some fiberglass repair to the foredeck of my Gemini 3200.

My Gemini 3200 catamaran needs new centerboards. In this video I show how I fabricated the first replacement centerboard from four 8' long 2x10 boards. Using dimension lumber makes a stronger centerboard than plywood, although plywood construction would be easier. Not shown are the attachment points for the centerboard control lines. I used two 1/4" x 3-3/4" stainless steel eye screws at the en...

This is a simple way to repair a broken radio antenna on a Chevrolet Astro without dismantling the dashboard and dealing with difficult to access wiring connections. The same method should work on many car makes and models, as it deals with a common failure mode.

How to replace the drive belt on a Raymarine ST4000 MK2 wheel drive autopilot.

The video shows how to remove the steering wheel from its shaft, how to remove the wheel drive from the steering wheel, how to open the wheel drive and r...

This shows how to repair a centerboard line on a Gemini catamaran by installing an eye screw under the winch drum. Gemini centerboards come with three undersized pad eyes to which the lifting line is attached. All three had broken and a previous owner had drilled a hole through the centerboard and tied the line through it. The line broke and I replaced it but simply tied the new line to the loo...

This video shows how I installed a Garmin echoMAP CHIRP 54cv chart plotter/fish finder on my Gemini 3200 catamaran. Although the supplied transducer is intended to be mounted on the transom I installed it inside the hull.

I took Sundance, my Gemini 3200 catamaran south along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway from St. Petersburg to Pelican Bay at Boca Grande during what turned out to be the coldest week of January 2019. It turned out to be a nice cruise despite the cold. This video was shot with a JVC GZ-E10BU camcorder. CyberLink Power Director 13 was used for editing.

This is our boat trip up the Cross Florida Barge Canal from the bridge to the lock at Inglis and up the Withlacoochee River on Thursday, 27 September 2018.

A short ride on Tardis to try out the new Bimini top.
