What this video covers
The Beneteau 57 *Vanishing Point* completed a full hull refit at Baja Naval in Ensenada, Mexico, and is ready to splash.▶ 0:30 The hull was sanded to gel coat, revealing dings, dents, and scratches typical of a 20-year-old boat; workers repaired those blemishes, applied high-build primer, faired the hull, then erected a dust-free scaffolding enclosure before spraying the final paint coat.▶ 2:29 Project manager Damien provided daily updates throughout.▶ 3:59 Chris and Karmen plan to return to Ensenada to rig the sails and prepare the boat for delivery back to Los Angeles.▶ 0:41 Upcoming projects after the boat returns home include interior work — new carpeting, upholstery, curtains, and lighting — a solar system upgrade, cockpit lighting repair, dinghy davit re-rigging, and a full galley redesign.▶ 8:12 Chris and Karmen also announce their appearance at the Annapolis Boat Show, October 9–12.▶ 1:00
