What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 450 catamaran, *Parlay Revival*, completes a seven-day shipyard maintenance period in preparation for a Pacific Ocean crossing. The primary mechanical upgrade involves replacing fixed two-blade propellers with three-blade VariFold folding propellers to improve fuel efficiency and motoring speed.1:47 The installation includes fitting new flanges and diaphragm seals for the sail drives, which requires precise alignment of the drive splines onto the engine flywheels.2:12 Additionally, the crew installs Lumatec underwater lights, wired to a POCO digital switching module controlled via a mobile app.2:34 To prevent marine growth, the team applies Prop Speed to the sail drives and propellers, Light Speed to the underwater light lenses, and Foul Free to the transducer faces.4:44 Following the hull work, the crew applies a new boot stripe and rebrands the vessel as the "Jamie 465" to reflect a previous sugar scoop extension.17:48 The boat successfully launches, with the crew monitoring the sail drive seals and through-hulls for leaks during the initial splash.21:52
