What this video covers

The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform structural repairs and maintenance at a boatyard in Martinique while navigating a property dispute between the marina management and the land owner. The crew completes painting a structural beam using a two-component polyurethane car paint applied with a foam roller, achieving a smooth finish that they intend to use for the hulls and deck.1:54 Work continues with wood bonding on the bow, removing rivets from panels, and applying four coats of antifouling to the saildrives.2:44 The team also prepares for a future Coppercoat application by repairing small delaminated areas on the hull with mastic and fiberglass.13:26 A conflict between the marina and the land owner results in a fence dividing the yard, potentially isolating the boat from the travel lift and water access.41:10 Despite these logistical uncertainties regarding their scheduled mid-June launch, the crew continues their refit and takes a day trip to Sandy Island.20:15
