Sailing Wind Therapy Feature – Wave WiFi Setup on Leopard 45
This Sailing Wind Therapy feature showcases how Jeff and Adrian stay connected aboard their Leopard 45 catamaran using a Wave WiFi system.
In the video, they provide a detailed cost breakdown of converting their Leopard 45 from a charter boat into a full-time home. As part of their refit, they installed the MBR 550 and Rogue Pro DB by Wave WiFi, along with an external cellular booster. This setup allows them to access high-speed internet using either marina Wi-Fi or LTE, depending on their location and signal strength.
Their video explains how the system automatically prioritizes Wi-Fi when available and seamlessly switches to LTE when needed. This flexibility allows them to work remotely, manage navigation, and stream content while underway or at anchor. It’s a real-world use case that highlights the practical benefits of having a hybrid internet system onboard.
For sailors, liveaboards, and weekend cruisers, this kind of setup can make a significant difference in how they use their onboard time. Whether it’s checking the forecast, joining a Zoom call, or uploading a YouTube video, staying online has become a key part of modern cruising life.
In addition to performance, Jeff and Adrian appreciated how easy it was to install and manage the system using Wave WiFi’s browser-based interface. The ability to monitor connected devices, prioritize sources, and optimize signal strength adds control and convenience to their lifestyle at sea.
