A solo sailor hauls out her boat in Panama to perform bottom maintenance and prepare for a Pacific crossing.0:16 After power washing reveals significant paint flaking around the waterline, she scrapes the affected areas and applies primer, opting for a partial repair due to budget constraints rather than a full strip to the gel coat.2:56 She also replaces the sacrificial zinc anode, which shows heavy corrosion after six months of use.9:57 To ensure reliability for the upcoming passage, she replaces the control lines on her wind vane, using a sewing technique to pull new, chafe-resistant line through the internal blocks.10:28 Additionally, she repositions track cars on the deck to create a permanent, quick-connect system for a boom preventer.15:03 The maintenance period concludes with the boat being relaunched for the transit to the Pacific. Proactive inspection and replacement of chafe-prone lines and corroded zincs are essential for preventing gear failure during long-distance passages.
