What this video covers

The crew of the 64-foot catamaran Parlay Revival abandons plans to sail the west coast of New Zealand due to a lack of favorable weather windows, opting instead for an overnight passage to Smokehouse Bay on Great Barrier Island.9:59 The 100-nautical-mile transit serves as a safety training exercise for new crew members.11:18 Upon arrival, the crew discovers that the port-side deck-to-hull joint is failing, mirroring a previous starboard-side failure.14:13 They repair the joint by removing old adhesive, sanding the mating surfaces, and bonding the deck to the hull with Total Boat epoxy thickened with cabosil.16:58 To ensure structural integrity, they plan to through-bolt the connection with washers and nuts.16:38 While anchored at Smokehouse Bay, the vessel holds through a 30-knot weather system using an Ultra anchor and 250 feet of chain in 50 feet of water.18:04 The crew also participates in a New Zealand sailing rally organized by Vicky Moore, which provides pilot books, charts, and local weather coordination via WhatsApp.18:23
