A 30-foot catamaran, *Mahi*, transits the coast of Brittany, France, while navigating persistent westerly winds and tidal currents. After two weeks anchored at the island of Ile-de-Barre, the crew performs hull maintenance by drying the boat out at low tide to scrape barnacles and apply anti-fouling paint.0:58 The owner notes that applying top-coat paint below the waterline caused the anti-fouling to fail, leading to significant growth.4:07 During the passage, the crew tensions the inner beam lashings to maintain structural integrity, a routine requirement for the vessel.13:30 The boat eventually completes a 30-mile coastal leg, reaching speeds of 7.5 knots under a yankee, mainsail, and staysail configuration.25:03 The crew anchors near the Labarac harbor to stage for a transit of the Chenal du Four, a tidal passage known for strong currents and complex swells.25:37 The owner reports that the catamaran’s high bridge deck prevents slamming in short, one-meter swells.26:06 Proper maintenance of hull coatings and regular tensioning of rigging are essential for performance and structural longevity.
