Sailboat hauled on truck in Greenland's rugged terrain
What this video covers
The owners of a Garcia Nouanni 43 haul the vessel out of the water in Greenland for long-term storage. Before the haul-out, the crew performs maintenance, including applying R-Deck paint to the keel to mitigate corrosion between the lead ballast and aluminum hull.▶ 1:29 They replace a faulty Mastervolt alternator with a new unit, ensuring the engine has two identical alternators for redundancy.▶ 1:59 During the haul-out, the 15-ton boat is lifted using a trailer that appears undersized for the vessel, causing the bow to hang precariously and creating an unstable balance.▶ 10:09 After a failed first attempt, the crew repositions the trailer to achieve a secure, self-supporting stance on the hard.▶ 11:00 An inspection after 1.5 years in the water reveals the hull and keel are in good condition, though the anodes require replacement.▶ 12:40 The crew then travels with their dog, Nova, via Kangerlussuaq to Copenhagen, facing logistical challenges including the temporary loss of a camera bag containing essential travel documents.▶ 19:20
