Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

A haul-out at a boatyard — location not named in the video — covers several days of maintenance work on a catamaran. Pre-haul preparation includes closing seacocks, removing cushions, and securing the cats before pressure washing.3:49 The rudder is dropped on the trailer, requiring a seized pin to be worked loose.7:47 Hull polishing uses TotalBoat Total Buff, Total Shine, and wax applied in sequence; the crew skips wet sanding this time to preserve gel coat, accepting a slightly less white result than the previous haul-out.11:35 Tom grinds rust off the cast-iron keel and immediately applies TotalBoat epoxy barrier coat in gray over the keel and through-hulls, since cast iron oxidizes fast between grinding and coating.13:02 The outboard impeller on the dinghy had broken apart — pieces missing and chewed up — explaining erratic cooling despite water still appearing at the telltale; seized bolts had delayed the repair.15:19 A 5,000 BTU air conditioner is set up aboard while the boat sits on the hard.4:14 The next job involves either replacing through-hulls with a True Design setup or repairing cracks found in the rudder with epoxy and reglassing.15:37
