What this video covers

The owners of an Outremer catamaran perform fiberglass repairs on the port hull, using biaxial cloth and epoxy to smooth imperfections.0:38 The process involves applying epoxy fillets to fill gaps, followed by layering the biaxial fiberglass once the fillets reach a tacky, semi-cured state.0:49 After completing the hull work, the crew prepares for a coastal passage from Rodney Bay to the Pitons in Saint Lucia.15:47 They organize mooring lines at the bow to facilitate a quick pickup at the destination, noting that they have not used a mooring buoy in over a year.24:54 During the transit, they sail under a single-reefed mainsail and a small 35-square-meter self-tacking jib, discussing the potential need for a larger genoa or a Code Zero to improve light-wind performance.40:17 The crew also reviews customs procedures, confirming that the yellow quarantine flag must remain hoisted on the starboard spreader until formal entry is cleared.35:39
