I hope you solved replacing your rigging. If Not. However, I can share it with you, Colin. I changed all my wire rigging, weighing in at 240 kilos for 30 kilos of Dyneema. Except for the forestay as it has a roller furler. I couldn't be happier. You could carry the Dyneema in your hand luggage, However, I needed to weld 3 new sets of spreader ends to run the Dyneema rigging. These ends you can purchase from a mast maker. Also, I had to change the rigging screws made in NZ designed for this job… if you need more info let me know. It would be a shame if you miss the Pacific crossing, we will also miss your video adventures. Best of luck. SV Skoirern IV

We tow our tenders everywhere if you are planning to tow or have it side tied I would use a line with some stretch to take some strain off cleats and whatnot

A boat owner on anchor in Cairns had to put his dog down as they wouldn't let him into the country even after 3 months quarantine. I hope U have thought about it !

Sailboat Data doesn't list the full specs for the Lagoon 450 like it does most other sail boats I don't see the spec for pounds per inch of submersion listed but that is a pretty heavy boat at 33000 lbs displacement.

Yeah the advantage to a bigger boat is that the inch submersion per pounds carried goes up so you can carry more water and fuel and food and beer. That is one disadvantage to a catamaran boat is the narrow hulls are low drag but they don't provide as much buoyancy per foot as a mono-hull with a wide beam would but your not ballasted down as much with the catamaran either everything is a pro and con give and take though. Always buy the biggest boat you can afford to own with in practical limits that way you don't run out of carrying capacity and have to limit your tankage and stores even though it is popular to try and circumnavigate the globe in the smallest boats possible I look at that as a stunt that is not something that most normal people would want to even attempt. I am not saying you need a bigger boat to do it though just when you have a bigger boat you have more reserve capacity to carry along everything you might want or need and more of to last longer to with a smaller boat you have to be very picky about what all you bring with you so you have to have your priorities in order and be stingy with weight.

Im surprised you didn't use synthetic rope standing rigging Dyneema ect… seemed to be a trendy thing to do for a while or you could use Stay-Lock or Norseman fittings that way you don't need a rigger and his special swaging tool even to replace a cable or a fitting
