What this video covers
The owners of a catamaran, Djé and Nad, continue a long-term refit at a boatyard, focusing on hull preparation and the application of Coppercoat antifouling. After 120 days at the yard, the crew manages the sanding of the existing Coppercoat, which requires careful oversight to avoid over-sanding the underlying hull material.▶ 15:42 Following the sanding process, the team plans to apply a fresh epoxy primer to exposed white areas, allowing four to five days for solvent evaporation before reapplying the Coppercoat.▶ 15:42 The refit also includes structural modifications to the boat's skirts, where the team installs custom wooden handles designed to act as sacrificial elements against wave impact.▶ 18:06 Despite a court ruling that denies the owners' request to move their vessels or resume business operations at the site, the crew continues exterior finishing work, including fairing and sanding, while navigating weather delays and local wildlife in the boatyard.▶ 19:01
