What this video covers
Refitting a Crealock 37 named Bella Sarah for relaunch requires extensive hull and mast preparation. The crew installs a new B&G depth, speed, and temperature transducer using a 10-degree shim to compensate for the hull's 30-degree deadrise.0:45 To improve visibility, they paint the masthead fluorescent green and apply DOT reflective tape.3:23 The mast is outfitted with a new B&G anemometer, a Lunacy tricolor light with a custom stanchion mount, and a Navico VHF-AIS antenna.7:20 Before the crane lift, the crew cleans mildewed lines in a laundromat, templates the standing rigging for future replacement, and applies two coats of bottom paint.8:20 Upon splashing, the engine fails to pump cooling water due to an airlock between the raw water intake and the sea strainer; bleeding the line restores flow.17:05 A minor leak at the stuffing box is corrected with a simple adjustment.16:46
