Custom Enclosure and Hardtop for Cruising Catamaran

ByDavid July 2, 2015November 9, 2020

Pretty much the biggest reason we brought the boat all the way from France to Palmetto to do our outfitting was that we wanted to work with the guys that our boat guru Pat had lined up to create a custom hardtop and enclosure for the helm and cockpit. From the factory, the only option…

Outfitting Our Cruising Catamaran

ByDavid June 28, 2015May 14, 2021

We purchased our boat new from the Fountaine Pajot factory. The boat buying process was long and challenging, and there were a variety of things we opted to do aftermarket instead of through the factory. Outfitting our boat to cruise around the world was done in several stages. Four Stages to Outfit our Boat First,…

Dropping the Temperature

ByAmy June 11, 2015November 28, 2019

Having a catamaran means we get to enjoy so much living space aboard. A lot of our projects here have been aimed towards improving these spaces.  Another nice perk is our view, with four large windows in the main salon.  However, inside the main salon, without air flow and shade, the heat sky rockets during…

Our Anchoring System

ByDavid June 5, 2015May 14, 2021

The anchor set up is one of the most critical points on the boat. The system has to hold a lot of weight when winds pick up, and Starry Horizons is no light-weight speedster. Here’s what we’ve done to make our anchoring system as good as possible. Anchor Bridle Our bridle set up is 1″…

DIY Silverware Organizer for Boats or RVs

ByAmy May 19, 2015September 4, 2019

We’ve had a problem with our silverware drawer since we moved onto our boat. It’s small, and we hadn’t found a good organizer to fit into the drawer. The only one we could find (in France) was too small, the knives didn’t fit properly, and the serving utensils had no home. I looked online once we got…

What’s in My Galley

ByAmy February 25, 2015March 26, 2021

I love to cook, and while I certainly am not cooking complicated foods like I did when we lived on land, we are certainly not suffering. David and I eat very well aboard Starry Horizons; three square meals, healthy snacks, lots of fresh food. Thankfully, our galley has a lot more space than most boats…

Square Top Mainsail Rigging

ByAmy November 23, 2014September 9, 2019

When we got our boat from the factory, we had ordered it with a square-top mainsail. Square-top versus Pinhead The “standard” sail in a pinhead sail, which is shaped like a triangle. A square-top sail is a trapezoid shape. The foot is wide and has a 90-degree angle on the front corner. The head is…

Offshore Medical Kit Contents

ByAmy October 7, 2014May 15, 2021

I completed our offshore medical kit and am super proud of it! In our offshore emergency medicine class, we covered a lot of important topics regarding health and safety at sea.  The professors provided us with an example inventory.  We also had a good discussion during our class on what we should have onboard. Our…
