What this video covers
Barry Perrins hauls his boat, Shadi, out of the water at a marina in Lombok, Indonesia, using a trailer-based lift system rather than a traditional boat lift.11:36 The process requires careful tidal monitoring to avoid grounding the deep-draft vessel during the approach.7:32 During the haul-out, the trailer experiences minor shifting on a sloped, grassy section of the yard, causing audible structural creaking.11:50 Once on the hard, Perrins performs temporary maintenance, including applying phosphoric acid rust killer to port holes and fibreglassing cracks to prevent saltwater intrusion.5:15 He also improvises a repair for his navigation lights using a repurposed storage jar and a custom-mounted pole.12:47 While the boat remains on the hard, Perrins and his crew travel inland across mountain passes to a warehouse to purchase alcohol, noting that supplies are restricted in the predominantly Muslim region.14:03 The haul-out provides necessary access for hull cleaning and temporary repairs, though the vessel requires a more extensive future overhaul.6:19
