Yabá hauled out in shipyard, crew celebrate on deck
What this video covers
The 88-foot wooden boat Yabá undergoes a haul-out at a traditional shipyard using a rail-based cradle system rather than a modern travel lift.▶ 10:13 The process requires precise positioning over a submerged wooden crib, guided by shore-based crew using lines and poles to account for river current and turbulence.▶ 10:50 During the maneuver, the crew manages the boat’s drift between a sunken vessel and the shipyard dock, relying on manual line handling to maintain alignment.▶ 19:00 Upon surfacing, the hull shows minimal growth, with only minor barnacle accumulation and river silt, confirming the effectiveness of the previous epoxy and paint application.▶ 14:12 The haul-out is conducted in two stages, with the boat partially lifted at high tide to allow for immediate power washing while the growth remains soft.▶ 24:13 The crew plans to complete the full lift the following day to facilitate maintenance and repainting of the keel, where the names of project patrons are inscribed.▶ 26:23
