What this video covers

The owners of the 40-ft sailboat Bohemia prepare for an upcoming voyage by upgrading their ground tackle and performing hull maintenance while anchored at Block Island. Tomas replaces the vessel's existing anchor with a Mantus anchor, which he assembles on deck using four bolts and two wrenches.13:09 He highlights the anchor's design, specifically its roll bar and weighted stock, which ensure proper orientation on the seabed, and notes that the unit fits tightly within the boat's existing anchor locker.13:30 To facilitate future maintenance, he applies the included grease to the hardware.14:41 For hull cleaning, Tomas utilizes a portable air compressor powered by a generator, which allows for underwater scrubbing of the hull and propeller.20:05 He emphasizes the necessity of protective gear, including Kevlar-reinforced gloves, a long-sleeved lycra shirt, and a plastic scraper to remove barnacles without damaging the bottom paint.21:54 The crew also hosts friends from the Chess Team for an onboard barbecue before preparing for the Annapolis Boat Show.23:27
